Is that just a more sophisticated way of saying what I kvetched about that you feel left out?
I feel so left out!
Besides Dr Suess. He was a Gaon even lmaan deomar he was an antisemite.
“the Places You will Go” and “The Lorax” are mammesh mussar seforimOf course not. But if someone finds he “can’t” keep Shabbos anymore he is by defenition not frum. But if he “can’t” eat cholov yisroel that is not the case. The same would be about the Yeshiva guy who “can’t” wear a hat and jacket or the Satmar guy who starts eating OU.
I was told of someone who was looking desperatly erev Yom Kippur for a chicken for kapporres and wouldn’t hear the tzad to use money, but was saying he doesn’t plan on fasting because “Hashem loves me and for sure doesn’t care if I fast or not”
When we start mixing up minhagim with chiyuvei krissus it gets a bit mishkebabal and we lose focus on what’s a frum Jew and what is not.
And so is fasting on !7 Tammuz and 9 BeAv not deoiraissa.
I say this because i find it important to diffrenciate. I know of a Chabad person who went OTD because she ate Cholov Stam and then threw in the towel (nebach) because anyways she did an aveirah….

I can’t figure out if you are joking or serious about the tattoos.
Just to point out the obvious…tattoos are an issur deoiraisa….listening to music in 3 weeks is derabanan.
bump
There are chasidim from other chasiduses that have told me that the young Bachurim are scared to do an aveira because Hashem might tell their Rebbe on them….
Even leshitoscho that Mashiach’s job is to teach Elokus why can’t that be done with Ramchal or Sifrei Hagroh? Did the sifrei Chabad put a copywrite on understanding Elokus? Do you think Kabbalah was invented in Lebavitch? The Rishoinim had the Keballah and the Sefardim wrote numerous Kabballah seforim.
Besides saying “Chassidus” and referring only to sifrei Chabad is offensive to all the other Chassideshe seforim. Are they not also “Chassidus”??? Where they pashut not understanding their Rebbe the Baal Shem and the Mezritcher? Only the Baal Hatanya and his descentants understood it?I agree with Jackk on a practical level but we know famously from Rav Miller Zatzal that he held voting Democrat is a Chilul Hashem. And we can’t make cheshbonos when it comes to chilul Hashem.
If you can’t get yourself to vote for the idiot on the Republican ballot I fully understand. But then rather don’t vote at all.
UNBELEIVABLE!!!
Avira the Litvak and Menachem Shmei the Chabadnik agreed on something and almost used the same wording!
Moshiach must be coming….although they disagree who that is….Your interpetation is definetely the pshat that meets the eye “al pe derech hatevah” but Chassid Yaavetz was referring to the underlying cause what brought so many Yidden to convert r”l an more why did HKB”H bring the gzeira in the first place.
Similarly to the Neis Purim which is a natural chain of events but Chazal tell us it was because they partook in Achashveirosh’s seudah and/or they bowed to Nevuchanetzar’s tzelem.
After all we know “lev melachim ve’sarim beyad Hashem”Yechiell
Now i really understand the cherem on AI.
Can someone clarify for the ignorant.
Pro Shabbos observance won or the opposite?I think Trump is Moshiach. He is ben achar ben from Dovid Hamelech. He just doesn’t know it.
And he is still alive.
And he moved the embassy to Yerushelaim.
Defenitly more than any Rebbe did.
And he has kids to be yoitze the Rambam.
And they are even Jewish. Maybe.
And he is having a second coming. Hope not.mods didn’t like?
AAQ
You are welcome. I am really curious from reading many of your posts which society you are from. e.g. Chasidish, Yeshivish ,none, all ?
No need to answer just curious. After all we can ” always ask q”Commonseichal
Your insights get brighter and deeper in each post. Not to mention the sophistication. Does this come from having “common” seichal, because such depth is way beyond common. Really rare to find.
@nom
That is your mistake. We all love all Jews and hope Chabad does too. The arguments are about Hashkofos not the people or even their life choices.
Rav Moshe Feinstein Zatzal is quoted in saying
“Frum is a gallach, a Yid darf zein Ehrlich”
Translated “A preist is Frum, a Yid has to be Ehrlich”The quote from Chofetz Chaim about the Gra’s cherem only applies today on Chabad and Breslov was said by Rav Elya Lopian in his name. I have heard from people who heard it from Rav Mattisyahu Salomon Shlita who heard it directly from Rav Elya Lopian.
And same with Palestinians and Palestine
They are barely any left. Yemach Shmoi took care of that 85 years ago. All “Litvishe” today are either full blooded Hungarians, Romanians, Yekkes or a mix. Almost all minus the Yekkes and Oberlanders shtam from Chassidim. They just learned in “Litvish” yeshivos.
But real blue blooded “Litivise” barely exist. Same with the Poilisher. Almost the whole Ger Chassidus hails from Hungary etc.Mods can you make a vote about who from those that voted for Trump would vote for him again or now vote for other Rep candidate or switch totally to Biden
Why do Chabanicks call people from the Yeshiva world “snags”?
Isn’t that meant as a derogetory name?
Wouldn’t that be quite opposite from their “Achdus” shittah?
I mean if they can respect all nonjewish people wouldn’t it be ok to give some decent respect to fellow Jews?
Or is it because they are great great grandchildren of the one who “sic” put the Baal Hatanya in jail?Please explain. Really trying to understand.
The fact is you can go into many large chabad centers/shuls and barely find a full set of shas. Somtimes an old disregarded old print Choson Shas someone gave away due to lack of interest. Rav Elya Svei Zatztal lamented about this 20 plus years ago in a drosho in Lakewood when being maspid Rav Aaaron Zatzal. Its a fact. Go check yourself. I’v seen it and you can too.
I was in one chabad huge shul where they had a whole library of sichos and books all about the Rebbe Shlita and one set of Shulchan Aruch Harav hidden away. A bunch of Rambams in many languages and one old never used set of shas on bottom shelf covered in dust.
Its as if torah shel baal pe has been taken over by the Rebbe,s sichos and nothing else exists . BH they spared the Rambam from the dustbin.Neville
In the Rebbe’s liftime? He still is alive! Just “neelam” for the time being. Com’on someone debating Chabad gotta know that 🙂
Really interesting to hear all this backround info. I just joined couple of months ago. This is really facsinating. Thank you Neville.
Many 12 step meetings are held in churches and the psak of many great poskim was to be matir to attend as long as its in a side room not the main sanctuary, And this only because it may be pikuach nefesh for those who need it.
Avira, Dofi, and Dorah
you guys defenitley have one thing in common…..
you take yourselves and your shittos (or prejudices) a bit too seriously. Chill out!!!
@AAQ
I retract. I actually never heard of the term Orthopraxy untill now. I was going on the OP post which mentioned Athiesm.@AAQ
You are equating insecerity with Athiesm or apikorsos. What is the shaychus??
Not being “toichoy kebaroy” does not mean they were ch”v apikorsim. How dare you talk about our Tannaim in such a callous way!!You forgot to mention he stopped or was it predicted the end of gulf war. So he must of killed Saddam Hussein too. Probably Osama Bin Ladin too. And Hitler YM”SH was probably killed by the Riat”z.
@Dorah
That very well may be true, but Rav Miller’s main issue wasn.t the people of the Democratic party rather their anti Torah veiws of liberalism and decadence of morality. Not the actions of some goyim but the ideology that we are voting for by voting Democrat he held was a huge chillul hashem to endorce.I fully agree with you. I was just commenting on participant’s idea of torture for shooter which doesn’t work well for people who are already dead.
Personally I think 2nd Ammenment should be abolished. It’s totally outdated.The shooter is usually dead by end of shooting spree
Rav Miller said numerous times that it is assur and a huge chillul hashem to vote democrat. You can be moicha on his kavod all you want but he would of said rather to not make a chillul hashem than be busy with your nareshkaiten.
If every yungerman is Rabbi than a Rav needs to be Harav Hagoen. The Rosh Yeshivas are now Hagoen Hagodol. And the highest in the hierchy are Sar Hatorah.
Difference #4
Price. Seemingly that was even in Chazal’s time, just in the opposite. After all it is lechem oni 🙂FlamingBT
About the math I plead the 5th.
About Trump I disagree.
About the critisizim of frum yidden I 100% agree.
It is dispicable and nausiating to see how some frum yidden are willing to publicly smear another frum yid in public. And of course it’s only leshaim shomayim.
And about my spelling see above regarding math.Dofi
Ouch! And what is if he even learned in Ponovetz?
Gadoldorah
Of course you have to do the actions. Who implied otherwise?We also don’t because in Hungary there simply wasn’t Coke
aaq
Do you follow R Zishe in everything like living in a hovel and wearing rags etc etc or only in your self identifacation?Alot of people (me included) eat only hand matzos because that is our mesoirah and minhag. Pesach has that special flavor of eating only what your parents did even if it has no ryme or reason. Like alot of Hungarian descent yidden who eat only “falsche fish” aka chicken balls and not real fish because in the shtetle they put something soaked in chometz in the dead fish mouth to keep it fresh.
Some only use 3 to 4 spices…the one the Bubbes had in Europe.
Some only eat 3 or 4 types of vegetables and peel their grapes before eating it.
Or not “mishing” even by someone who you would trust 100% the whole year.
The list goes on and on……Its just the flavor of Pesach alot of us grew up on. Without that it just wouldn”t be Pesach.
Who besides me misses the walnut crackers?
