What Passover staple’s “rising” costs were due to price-fixing, according to Israeli trustbusters in 2000?

I recently purchased an engagement ring. Do I have to wait till after the Omer to give it to my fiancee?

We have a custom in our family to color eggs for Lag B'omer, and we know of others around the world that have this custom too. Yet nobody seems to know the origin or source of it. Some people I have asked suggested it is taken from a pagan custom, G-d forbid. Can anyone shed light on this please?

Thanx rabbi newman for answering my question. I was wondering what the sources are for your answer regarding oral sex? Also if i could read how can i tell apart laws and guidlines in shulchan aruch? Thank you very much. Geo tish

Hi, I asked this question a while ago, and haven't received my follow up response. I've asked whether it's forbideen to listen to non-jewish music and was told that the problem is iwth the lyrics, not the tunes. however, what if the lyrics to a certain song are very approriate to certain occassion or expression of one's feelings?
