Vinegar
Question
There is a vinegar made from wheat, but that must be listed as such or as "grain vinegar." AA CYA requested to know where it was esablished that "stam" vinegar is not grain vinegar. It is very frustrating to get mixed answers between CYA and AA. If you guys are going to run the website, please at least corroborate with each other and your father instead of contradicting each other all the time. I know AA is going to get all mad and start ranting on and on about the lack of respect, and how he's the only person who ever learned a piece of gemara, etc. but if you just look at some of the responses concerning, for example, showering on shabbos you can see clear distinctions in the responses. (AA tends to say everything but bugs and eiruv is muttar, while CYA seems to be a little more reasonable.) Both of you cannot be right, so please, for the sake of your neshamos, find out the right answer and respond with it CONSISTENTLY. If you tell me that there arent any discrepancies, I will kindly post them as long as you don't delete them. This mesage is not to say that you both don't deserve much credit for your service to klal yisrael. People who sacrifice of themselves for the tzibur without any hopes of monetary compensation nowadays are few and far between. Just please work to try to get clear responses from your father, lest you be reponsible for people following a wrong psak. Chag Kasher vSameach
Answer
Answered by Aaron AbadiThe reason we are both doing it, is because it's too much work for one person. Doing everything together would defeat the purpose. If there is a contradiction, we get notified almost immediately and we clear it up. Judaism is built on differences in Halachah, very often from to learned Rabbis that studied together from the same teacher. That is the whole Talmud. Don't let it send you into panic. I found out about Vinegar, and somehow CYA didn't know. Big deal! Now we all know. AA
