    Feif,

    Just so that you understand their point of view.

    Because this Rav that was invited to speak represents something that those people (the non attenders) are against. They felt that it would be inappropriate for them to attend.

    To those people, it was L’havdil as if an apikoress would be invited to speak. Although they badly wanted to attend, they felt that according to their beliefs it would be inappropriate to do so.

    -45,

    Although I also doubt that this is really a women, in fact I think that this is a POPA style thread.

    But you should know that your a MOD, which means that your word means a lot.

    Do not accuse unless you really know what your talking about.

    Do you know really know the gender of the OP?

    I think that it depends what the attractiveness is. If it something that is gross, or because she is not a Trophy wife.

    The fact that his eyes wandered and saw something nicer, should not (in my opinion) be sufficient enough to ask for a divorce.

    Wolf,

    You are correct, I try explaining that to people but they think that they know better.

    Unless you are really versed in their arguments do not start.

    Harav Avigdor Miller repeated a lot of times, that it’s not hard to debate these people, only that you have to be qualified.

    He took some of their arguments (some of those that you pointed out) and went on to show how fraudulent their arguments were.

    For instance Briss Chadasha does not mean the Torah, it refers to the covenant Hashem made with Avraham. Briss does not mean Testament. (this is noted by the mefarshim on the spot as well).

    He goes on to explain that the early priests were fully aware about the true dikduk in the passukim they intentionally misled their people.

    In Yeshiva we do not regularly discuss their arguments, therefore unless you are “Really” qualified to argue with them, refrain from doing so.

    Bustercrown,

    Since you asked for some advice, I will offer although I am far from qualified to deal with this issue.

    First, make sure that your Husband has a Rav, its sort of insurance, if something goes wrong, you have someone to turn to. be it a Rosh Yeshiva or Shull Rav.

    From your post it seems as if this situation is way out of hand. I do not know what your Husband does online, (it’s evident that you have a computer at home, since you post often). The best option might be to openly confront him and let him know that this cannot go on. Make sure that you have your Rav’s (or his Rosh Yeshivas guidance on how to confront him), but playing this cat and mice game might do more harm to the relationship than being open.

    Make it clear to him that you are here to confront him as much as you would like to help him and more than that help yourself and your Family.

    Make sure that you let him know that you love him and admire him, only that you want him to come clean of what happened and move on.

    Hatzlacha Rabba.

    Was in a dira nexto his shull, there was no way hat I would be able to get a Bracha.

    Then one day there was a yeshiva that came with their Sefer Torah to show it to rav Eliyashiv and ask a Sheila (they looked like sefardim or BTs). I saw them all line up to enter the rav’s home, I quickly jumped into the line (imagine the scene, yeshiva bachur standing in middle of he line together with a bunch of sefardim).

    Once inside one by one took his hand and kissed it.

    He then gave us all a Bracha.

    An experience I will not forget.

    If I remember correctly, in yom kipper the Halacha is that if one feels that they will black out, they should drink untill their eyes light up.

    Also. On tisha baav, there is no pachus m’kshiur. It’s either yes or no.

    I don’t think that people attack other’s grammar, I have been called out a few times (rightfully so..)

    I know that my grammar is not perfect, however I do not think that the spellcheckers out there are attackers, they just point out your (or my) mistakes.

    Whey is it that you get so hurt about this?

    When I was in camp, my parents would leave very early on visiting day, arrive to camp early as well.

    We would spend a couple of hours together afterwards they would travel back home.

    in reply to: QUESTION #884545
    2scents
    Participant

    AZ 17A.

    Yakov Min’ah, Talmid Yeshu has been removed.

    The Yavetz uses this gemara to verify in which time period Yushke lived.

    Tosfos discusses if all Yakov Min’as are this same person or not.

    When I checked the Gemara in Chulin that brings Yakov Min’ah (I cannot recall the exact daf now) He challenges Rava with a question, to which Rava responds “For [People like] you the Passuk says..” I think that the way Rava answered him sits well if this Yakov Min’ah is the same one as in AZ (which was Yeshu Hanotzri’s talmud).

    golfer,

    I would argue that the OP’s idea is great especially in the three weeks.

    Since they are not considering the fact that there are followers that are engaged in Machlokes, in fact they want to disregard the entire machlokes and have both Gedolim.

    You can use OpenDNS.

    you can Blacklist sites that inappropriate, should you have the need to access a site that you have yourself blacklisted, you can white-list it in a matter of seconds.

    Zahavasdad,

    Yeah, we all know what goDaddy is. you do NOT need to use their website in order to log on to your email. I was sure that you know that.

    I dont know why you are asking me if this or that site should be blocked or not. I was just talking about a filter in general, not about specific sites, that should be between you and your Rav.

    Yahoo, that is correct their site is filthy. you can access your yahoo email without accessing their website. this is no excuse of not listening to our Rabonim.

    again, I dont know why you keep on singling out sites. It is not my business which sites should be white-listed or not. I was just refuting your argument as to why you CANNOT make money with a filter. that was nonsense.

    Zahavasdad.

    Good question. I am not in a position to answer those questions.

    You have to discuss that with your Rav.

    I was referring to your argument that you MUST have unfiltered internet. I do not see that this should be the case.

    GoDaddy, Even if this site needs to be filtered due to its filthy commercials. I dont think that you need to register domains on a daily basis. If you do, then ask your Rav

    OK, in other words what you are saying is the your company would not permit a filter.

    You can still have a Blacklist filter.

    besides the fact, sites can be unblocked in seconds.

    if you work with a blacklist, bottlenecks should not an issue.
