The true guide to deciphering someone’s hashkafa
Finally it’s here! It’s not by Vera (who normally writes these useful guides) and it includes one and one question alone. Here goes… The one question that tells you all you need to know about the other person’s religious standing.
...you look like the kind of person who cuts on the dotted line.
How do you cut toilet paper on Shabbat?
- On the line – Apikores all the way
- With a shinui – Oy, what to think of such a person?!
- I cut it before Shabbat – Baruch Hashem.
- I buy Shabbos toilet paper made in a Shomer Shabbos factory – A mehudar talmid chacham, that’s for sure.
- I don’t use it, better safe than sorry – Forget hashkafa – better not to live with someone who can’t use toilet paper one day a week. I can’t imagine any good coming of that.
So the next time you want to be clear with someone on a first date where they are religiously without spending half the date discussing it, just ask them this question and you’re good to go!
P.S. I apologize to all those who have no idea what in the world I’m talking about.

I don’t use toilet paper on Shabbos for fear that I might rip it while wiping. This is the psak of the chochomim and gedoli hatoirah.
This is so awesome! I must send this out!
Thanks YJ! NotAGoy, yuck!
I like the fact that the bottom toilet roll on the left has chassidic peyot…
It does!
There are two other categories you left out…
Q: How do you tear toilet paper for Shabbos?
A: Shabbos? What’s shabbos?
And of course, “I just use tissues and don’t have to deal with such issues.”
I’ll leave it up to you to determine what labels work best for these people!
:) Thanks Joel!
