Everyone has good points here but we need to understand that this situation is extremely difficult for Israel. On one hand they need to figure out best way to start the ground op ( minimizing traps , mines , tunnels etc ) but they also need to consider that there is much more than just revenge at stake … we are inches away from escalating this into a global war with 1-3 additional fronts getting involved. We would much rather have USA involved when that happens so waiting a bit on their request makes sense. There is also another thing happening here , they are under siege and wearing hamas down , so in that sense , a delay works in their favor! Albeit the PR war works against them at that point. It’s a chess game guys
“Major” issue here , this might be what’s causing the shidduch crises

In the words of rav Ovadia Yosef ,the leader of the party, and greatest sage of the generation “ זה נבלה וזה טרפה ״”
People think that Torah Jews are automatically aligned with the right when in fact, the Torah is neither aligned with the right or the left and therefore the position of chareidi Jews would be the party or coalition that is most as possible aligned with their values, and this can be the left or the right( same goes in USA) . Rob Ovadia has written halachic responsa on this and every word and action, the great sage did was halachically calculated.@modern , please provide sources do not just spew. there are many things wrong with your claim as first of all do a little research barbers are not Muslims at all. There are two ethnic groups in morocco. The one are the barbers, which actually come from the one of the seven nations of Israel that decided to flee and not fight Joshua and the other ethnic group are the Muslims which came a bit later anyway, they are Jewish communities. Strong since the first bayis…. One of King Solomon‘s sons were actually buried there, and there are correspondence between them as well. There is fascinating history there.
Though pronunciation of the holy tongues is by far the most inaccurate in European countries as their first language, which was either Russian or German etc strongly, influenced the pronunciations of their second language of all your tongue, and as a result, a lot of key pronunciations got messed up and they lost their mesora. The taz and.Shach mention this as well btw … and that’s
OK because God sent us into exile, and our job is to hold on to whatever we can as best
as possibleNorth African ( Moroccan) Jews were these since the first bayis. There were another bunch of Jews that came after the Spanish expulsion and thus there are two groups of Morrocan Jews, and as we know the RIF lived there who was student of ree Migash who was a student of Rav Hai gaon so you have it right there the Moroccan Jews have the strongest mesora in the Jewish nation on my opinion
Very ignorant question and something we discussed when we were in first grade. To ask who had more righteous people is something only God can answer as you can have a simple person that controls his inclinations and character traits and is far more worthy of being called righteous Than a Rosh yeShiva. That knows the entire Torah, perhaps, but fails to control his character and humility ,remember “Tsaddik” means righteous. On the other hand ,If you would like to ask who produced more scholars, that’s also difficult bec i’m sure you’ve never heard of a lot of scholars that were in Europe and Lithuania because they weren’t famous or didn’t write books that left a legacy and how much more so you have no idea on the situation in Middle Eastern and Sephardic countries. Perhaps a better metric, would be who which country produced more books , which is also not going to be accurate because they were many many books produced in sefardic countries that never made it to Print, because they did not have that technology and to print would mean sending something to Italy, which was very expensive, and of course, most did not have the money for that. I remember being in a library in israel with many sefarim on shas and shulchan aruch but have never made it to print.
@TS I love how do you say the overwhelming majority of the mekubalim and then you name 4 people…. I think this is a childish argument because it’s clearly not a black and white halachic ruling, it’s a custom and I’m sure it has leaning in the revealed as well as the hidden Torah…. With that being said the overwhelming majority of our in history are by far of Sephardic descent and the majority of them do not have….r Yosef Sharabani, Ben ish chai , Yitzchak Kaduri ,rav mutzafi etc were the rosh hamikubalim of Jerusalem in past century and did not have them … on the other hand you have great Sephardic mekubalim they do have it so it’s definitely has what to lean on but it’s not black and white and is customary thing
There is no halachic requirement or source to have long peyos besides the ones on the sideburns. It’s nice of course and goes into the Category of hiddur Mitzva.
Regarding how to wear your extra hidur Mitzva peyos, each should follow his customs.
FYI the first ones by far to have the long peyos in front , curled or non curled were the Yemenite Jews. That’s where todays chasidim got it from
