… Would Reb Doniel Trump be a Litvak, Chosid or a Sephardi?
December 24, 2017 9:08 am at 9:08 am #1434314CSParticipantThat would miss the whole point and that’s why he isn’t gonna convert.
December 24, 2017 9:13 am at 9:13 am #1434312mentsch1ParticipantI think he would look great in a streimel!
December 24, 2017 9:18 am at 9:18 am #1434324JosephParticipantI hear that he’s in touch with the Chabad shliach in DC…
December 24, 2017 11:57 am at 11:57 am #1434338yehudayonaParticipantTrump speculated that the reason the IRS audits him every year is because he’s a “strong Christian.”
December 24, 2017 11:57 am at 11:57 am #1434339WinnieThePoohParticipantTwo out the three have to do with point of origin, so those are not options.
December 24, 2017 11:59 am at 11:59 am #1434458iacisrmmaParticipantWith everything that happened in the yiddeshehvelt the past two weeks……WHO CARES?
December 24, 2017 11:59 am at 11:59 am #1434470DovidBTParticipantAny guesses on how many mezuzos the White House would require?
December 24, 2017 12:23 pm at 12:23 pm #1434500JosephParticipantTrump speculated that the reason the IRS audits him every year is because he’s a “strong Christian.”
Do you think that’s part of the reason he’s considering being megayer? It sure would save him a lot of headaches from the IRS.
Two out the three have to do with point of origin, so those are not options.
Sephardi has long ago become something other than describing a point of origin. Many Sephardim have no yichus to Spain. Litvak has also become to mean much more than shtamming from Lita. Many Litvaks, in fact, do not as shtam from Lita.
Besides, what does any Ger become? Many become Ashkenazim (even though they’re not from Germany), others become Sephardim and others become Chasidim.
Nu, what will Reb Doniel become?
December 25, 2017 8:20 am at 8:20 am #1435726hujuParticipantFirst of all, Trump could not do all the reading required to convert. And after converting, he would still be a jerk regardless of Litvak, Schmidtvak or sit-back..
December 25, 2017 8:24 am at 8:24 am #1435732☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIs being a jerk something for which a person can’t do teshuvah?
December 25, 2017 8:41 am at 8:41 am #1435734JosephParticipantA Ger starts with an absolutely clean slate. He is considered, effectively, a newborn once he becomes a Yid. He starts out as a tzaddik.
December 25, 2017 9:37 am at 9:37 am #1435738Takes2-2tangoParticipantThis is the most infantile conversation ive read here in the coffee room
December 25, 2017 9:53 am at 9:53 am #1435761yytzParticipantI’ve got it–he would be a Kahanist! 🙂
December 25, 2017 8:39 pm at 8:39 pm #1436378Neville ChaimBerlinParticipant“Is being a jerk something for which a person can’t do teshuvah?”
Actually, the mikveh only clears the ger on sins between him and Hashem. So, you could make the argument in this context…
December 25, 2017 9:53 pm at 9:53 pm #1436425JosephParticipantNeville, if a goy is megayer he is still chayiv for the ben adam lchaveiro issues he committed in all his years as a goy?
December 25, 2017 10:51 pm at 10:51 pm #1436436👑RebYidd23ParticipantIf he were megayer, would he still insist on saying “Merry Christmas”?
December 25, 2017 11:02 pm at 11:02 pm #1436440JosephParticipantNo. He would then switch to Freiliche Chanukah.
December 25, 2017 11:55 pm at 11:55 pm #1436446PunkParticipantHe’s definitely a secret chossid of Breslev.
December 26, 2017 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #1437101Lilmod UlelamaidParticipant“This is the most infantile conversation ive read here in the coffee room”
Apparently, you’re not a very frequent reader of the cr. I’m sure I could come up with many that beat this…..
December 27, 2017 12:13 am at 12:13 am #1437177yehudayonaParticipantI wouldn’t use the word infantile. I’d call it plain stupid.
