Jews Are Crazy

Why is everyone talking like crazy is a bad thing?

Nope. Pretty smart. They don’t want to have to be busy with my replies…

I’m at the receiving end of their rod (or spear – ‘spear the rod’) by far, more than anyone here.

Sometimes Mods won’t follow your train of thought, or the trail of conversation. So he / she makes a wrong assumption and hastily goes for the <DELETE COMMENT> button. Sometimes a Mod would give it more thought and ‘chap’ the intention. I guess it depends on the Mod at duty, and how much he / she bogged down by the task, how many posts per minute are coming in.

– my opinion

Little Froggie, we are equal opportunity offenders, not you more than anyone else.

Sure, we make mistakes, we’re humans. Please be assured, though, that we are simply trying to keep the CR a place where everyone can feel comfortable. We are probably doing a pretty good job, considering the fact that we are simultaneously being accused of being too strict and too lax.

Yashi & Pember – (I talk to Hashem at least thrice a day too, sometimes even frice or more. He doesn’t respond.) He doesn’t respond? He has responded to me many times & I would like to give 3 examples: (1) One winter night I had to make 2 beds for company. I was very tired and begged Hashem to help me put the blankets into the covers as I felt that I didn’t have the strength to do it myself. I then proceeded to put the corners of the blanket into the cover & gave one shake and everything fell into place. I then asked Hashem to help me with the 2nd bed also and the same thing happened. 2) I was asked to make the chulent for my grandson’s Aufruf seudah. My daughter gave me beans that I never worked with and rice instead of potatoes. I provided the meat and everything was to go into a borrowed oven that I also never worked with. I was in a quandary as I didn’t know how to proceed. I stood over the oven the longest time until I finally cried to Hashem to please make the chulent himself because I don’t how to. I then proceeded to just pour everything in and added the water, which I also didn’t know how much to put in. The rest I left up to Him. Shabbos afternoon all the guests were amazed at how delicious that cholent was. None had ever tasted such a delicious cholent before. 3)One Erev Pesach, which was also Erev Shabbos, my daughter was not able to start cooking until just 2 hours before. As she started preparing she asked Hashem to do the cooking Himself. As she peeled vegetables her hands were moving so very fast that it made her dizzy. In 2 hours she was able to make things that she thought she couldn’t.

So, if Hashem doesn’t respond to you, either you should realize that “no” is also an answer or try to strenghten your connection.

As to the content (not really my cupatee – every here knows – I usually don’t get mixed into the nitty gritty details of real life)

I’m sure everyone realizes that that is actually the main reason of davening Tefillah – to connect to HaShem. Actually wer’re told that “Tefilah” is related to ?????? which meas connected. I’m sure everyone realizes that the main reasons HaShem brings a tzara upon a person is to get him to Daven and thereby strengthen the connection through davening. That in itself is the greatest benefit. If HaShem decided to answer “Yes”, all to more reason the give ??? ??????. If not, at least he gained through davening. Another connection, another chance at private audience with his Creator. Inestimable benefit, zchus, privilege. And for that we thank HaShem with an ?????.

Lol I.M. Shluffin.
