- What Bracha do you make on a pineapple? A Lakewood youngerman has written a kuntress explaining that a pineapple would be a borei pri haaetz but since they don't grow it past 3 years from when it was initially grown it would be a problem of orlah and one can never eat them. (There was an article this week in the Inyan supplement of Hamodia magazine) In a interview on Kol Mevaser, Rav Bentzion halberstam shlita of Lakewood rav Khal Chasidim of Westgate explains in great detail how he went down to the fields that grow the pineapples and they replant the twigs that come out of it and takes root in the ground which would give it a status of a vegetable growing from the ground and it will be a borei pri haadama.

The barbers are Baalei Gaivaa for this to make the prices go up life is expensive enough they hardly have overhead. And it's not like they do a great job most of them do a rush job.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to open a barber shop and charge cheap or even do it for free as a chessed.
DeleteBy the way, whoever can't afford a barber can buy his own machine and cut his own hair or ask a friend or neighbor to cut your hair.
.....and it will be a borei pri haadama. ....
ReplyDeleteAnd NO Orla issue.
Thank you.
The same issue exists with Papaya. Horav Yudel Shain Shlit'a Has written about this many many times.
Pineapples have been eaten for hundreds if not thousands of years. In Poland it was the common shecyunu fruit on Rosh HaShana. Now it became a shaalo of orlah?
ReplyDeleteYour facts are wrong. The bobov Rebbe received a pineapple from someone in America to make a shehechiyanu. When he came to America he discovered that he was wrong. Pineapples were not found in Europe.
DeleteI heard from a relative of mine that he never ate pineapple until after the holocaust except for on Rosh Hashana for Shehechiyanu. Could be that because he lived in a big city (Warsaw) he had easier access to it but he made it sound like it was common in Poland to do so Rosh Hashana .
DeleteEven assuming that everyone paskens like the Rama that you don’t make Shecayunu on vegetables and further assuming that pineapple is a vegetable that you make a Hodoma on, it still would not be so simple that you can’t make a Shecayunu on a pineapple. Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach held that the Rama was referring to most vegetables because they have little chasivus. On a vegetable that is considered chosuv (like a pineapple) you can still make a Shecayunu. The Sdei Chemed used to make Shecayunu Rosh Hashana on watermelon that is certainly a ho’adoma (could be that as a Sephardi he didn’t go with the Rama on this)
DeleteWho gives a hoot about the Pinsk Karlin Rebbe
ReplyDeletei give a hoot about him more than i do about the sadigerer rebbe
DeleteMe. Be careful what you say about a Gadol. You might not personally connect to him, like him or like his chasidus, but he is an Adom Gadol.

ReplyDeleteAccording to inflation numbers, a haircut should cost approximately 15 dollars today. (Approximately double what it cost in 1999). I've stopped going to barbers, we bought a very good Oster machine for about 70 dollars and never looked back.
ReplyDeleteIf I gave myself haircuts I would never look back either!

ReplyDeleteNobody said anything about the gadol. Someone simply asked who cares about pinsk karlin and it’s probably not much more than the two of you.
ReplyDeleteMe three
DeleteLol!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is every Rebbe automatically assumed to be a gadol and/or Tzaddik? We must not forget that our great Gedolim of previous generations did not appreciate Rebbes, and that was then - when a Rebbe was a Rebbe. And now a yungerman with “Mosdos” is automatically a gadol?? Strange how that works.
ReplyDeleteGolly,I guess we're fortunate Here to have so Many wise ones directing our lives and telling us to keep voting in the Same Corrupt Gay agendas
DeleteWhat is that supposed to mean?!
DeleteThe aim of the comment,it appears,is to say where those problematic situations are coming from it would seem. And will only get harder .
Well said. And additionally when they might be one they are not automatically the other
ReplyDeleteWhich goes for all manhigim
The kuntres was written years ago and every year he tries to convince the oilam to say haetz. I saw it a few years ago, there was only one letter of haskama and the letter didn't say that it was halacha l'maaseh, only that he's a good person.
