There is a lack of chassidus in Tacoma Washington. I say, chazak viematz.
To the OP. Perhaps if you arranged for Reb SM Rubashkin Shlita to call them…..
My policy. If you are going to ask personal questions to me about someone, I must know who you are before I answer. I have no problem answering generic questions such as how tall to someone who wont identify themselves, but thats about it.
do trolls light the menorah or are they yotze with their father?
“Rabbi” is an honorific used to denote a member of the jewish clergy.
Rav Moshe z’l used the title Rabbi and Rabbis when referring to members of the reform and conservative clergy. He used the title Rav and Rabbonim when referring to shomrei torah umitzvos.

“Reading the comments here makes me wonder just how childish most people’s views on yiddishkeit are”
I’m past the wondering stage.
B’H there are many gedolim in klal yisroel. Only a child engages in “my gadol is greater than yours”. An intellectually honest person acknowledges that someone from outside his community can be just as great (or even greater) as the leader of the community he lives in. Asay licha Rav doesnt mean create a score card and whoever earns the highest score, is the bigegst gadol, and the leader to accept on yourself.
“the driver is getting $500-$750 a week from each meshulach he drives.”
The new meshulach driver share app lets the collectors share one driver and pay less per collection.
No. I daven in a small community shteeble.
“If you’re getting over a thousand meshulachim a year, I assume you’re getting 3 to 4 meshulachim come to you every day of the week”
This is normal number for the average chazaras hashatz in my local shteeble.
“לא שינו את שמם”
In all seriousness, what is the guideline here. How many Shlomos, Mendels, Yirmiyahus, or Yechezkels came down to mitzrayim? Would anyone tell a father who gave his sone one of these names , “hey, לא שינו את שמם”.
tell him to stand during leining. he wont snore. he might fall down, but the one time crash is probably better than constant snoring.
I have no issue if people knock on my door. I dont live in sdom.
“What do you do?”
We only give cash
“it’s the best rubbish I’ve ever read.”
Even better than the rubbish routinely found in the coffee room?
Forshayer: If your Rav was on a flight to E’Y, Erev Shabbos Mincha, I can understand why you didnt ask him your shayla.
Not shut down. Rather, inquire why the Rav wasnt an option at a time of halachic uncertainty. If there ever was a time to ask a shayla, it is when you are not sure of the answer.
I wonder if the NBA player Zach Lavine is from the LeVine family.
You cant change the way anyone does anything. The only person you can change, is yourself. You CAN try to influence their actions.
Tell your bank you didnt write it and it is fraud. Sadly, this happens all too often. Someone altered several checks of a family member, luckily for him, the person tried cashing the checks outside the country which Citibank flagged up and put into “pending” status until they could verify if the checks are legit. Another collector took several blank checks from a family member and tried writing them to himself and other family members. Because the signature was so very different than the one on file (and was riddled with spelling mistakes – “fiftee for dollars” was one amount, the bank called to verify the checks.
mechi tessi. sounds like an italian soccer player.

“forget them, learn it for yourself.”
As part of my regular halacha shiur, I will, when we get there.
Suggestions/questions about a Rav are never misplaced.
For discussion puposes, by all means, discuss. My original comment to the OP about the Rav, was a natural one. A question as to what to do in shul came up, I asked where the Rav was.
“Why don’t you learn the halachos?”
If you knew the members of the minyan, it wouldnt matter what halachos I know or dont know. Everyone would still know better than me 🙂
For the odd time there are those who wish a psak, I ask my rav.
Are they?
Please ignore all typos. Using smartphone on a miving commuter train.
“When this was brought up in the CR a week later
Reread the OP”This was already addressed…however the OP inducated the question came up in shul. The logical respibse is , ask the Rav. Obviously, it wasnt a question of what do i do right now. Im a gabbai in a weekday minyan that has no Rav. My rule is KUL DIALAM GVAR, and if you want a psak, give me enough advance notice and i will call my Rav for a psak.
“Is there some rule that requires someone to say ask your Rav with EVERY halachic question?”
When the question comes up in shul?
Mucicipalities may create and enforce laws for public safety. I witnessed a municipality shut down a minyan in someones basement because it violated a number of the codes for public meeting place. It didnt matter that it was held in a private home. The person tried to fight the municipality, and lost. The judge told him that to house services temporarily, that is one thing, but to establish a permanent place of prayer they needed a permit as a public meeting place (to get the permit, the basement would have to meet the code). to his credit, the homeowner did what was necessary to bring his basement up to code. No, this was not in Jackson, or Mahwah, it was in Sullivan County NY.
Maybe he had yahrtzeit and davened at a different shul?
Is this thread a back hand swipe at yeshivos?
Where was the Rav?
“rates of diabetes, heart problems, and teeth decay ”
Health professionals who service the frum population can answer this. All else, is speculation.
“The gaon Rav Hirshprung made fun of Rav Shach for not even knowing the yeshiva Gemaras well”
How does a canard such as this get past moderators on this site? This thread should be blicked for tge level of lashon hara, motsi shem ra, rechilus, sheker, ssinah and shtus it has produced. Im sure if anyone wished to adopt tge shittis esposed by anyone here, there are many places to do so. Gere, its a public chilul shem shamayim, a public bizuy talmudei chachamim and tzadikim. The owner of this website should becashamed to be the forum fir all if this garbage.
Reb google.
I completely give up on trying to follow this thread or any of the side conversation going on. Too many messages too quickly.
“Rav Vosners reputation as a Posek and Tzadik speaks for itself, and his relationship with Chabad speaks for itself.”
Was he a follower of chabad? Its shittos? Did he encourage his talmidim to do so? He said what any honest person would. The shluchim are wonderful people doing great things with mesiras nefesh.
Your fanciful leap that he endorsed everything the rebbe z’l said and did would be quite astonishing , except you have already proven time and time again that it is standard practice for you.
I’m not up to that rashi….I’m still before that. Dbei rav yannai, rav shila etc….how could they entertain their re be, a descendent of Eli hakohen was moshiach. Rashi doesn’t seem to explain that they thought their re be was moshiach either. Just the name. The significance? Well, I’m still trying to work out the maharasha, chidushei agados of the maharal and other classic meforshim of aggadata, none explain they thought their rebbe is or was moshiach. When I get past that line I’ll work on the next one. One thing I’ll try to work out is how daniel may have been bechezkas moshiach in his generation he wasn’t even the nasi or navi hador. Mordechai (hasach aka daniel), chaggai, zecharia and malachi were alive. But, I’m getting ahead of myself…I’m still working a few lines before.
The gemara in Sanhedrin. Did I learn it wrong? Did I misunderstand Rashi? There talmidim stated that the name of moshiach was the same as their rebbe (or close enough to the name in the passuk). Also, dbei rav yannai quoted a passuk that the name of moshiach is yannai. Could they have meant he was moshiach? Isnt there a gemara somewhere that rav yannai was from descendents of Eli hakohen? As a kohen he couldn’t be moshiach.
The rambam says dont spend to much tome on this. we will know, when it happens, the who, what, where, when and how. Until then forcus on performance of mizvos and avodas hashem.
“with the chezkas moshiach psak din ”
Perhaps this has been explained in this thread….I dont have the patience to read through most of this. Whichh beis din issued this psak?
I don’t think hashem needs help in determining who is and who isnt the moshiach. This stupid bickering isn t bringing him any closer. Give it up everyone and listen to the Rambam who said don’t spend to much time on this since it doesn’t lead to increased ahavas or yiras hashem. Clearly the only thing this thread has increased is some peoples blood pressure.
Who cares?
“Chabad and Judaism”
If I was a moderator, I would have blocked this thread from the get go based on this phrasing.
since we are quiting the Rambam, perhaps we should focus on the Rambam at the end of perek yud beis of hilchos melachim.

I suppose it all depends on what someone wants from a Rav. If they want an answer machine that can provide answers not available via google, I can hear taking such an approach. Personally, our Rav is more than an answer machine, through our interactions with him he helps us grow in our avodas hashem.
“apushtayid – Do you see a difference, and feel differently, between the views expressed (very well and articulately I might add) by Chabadshlucha compared to the views expressed by Sechel HaYashar (with the latter not subscribing to the “Rebbe is Moshiach” majoritarian view within Lubavitch)?”
I’m not quite sure what seichel hayashar. Subscribes to because I’m not fully following his/her point of view. I read the op and what she has to say and I specifically replied to get “challenge”. In short, my opinion of “meshichists” because of this this thread has moved from indifference to thinking they are nuts. IMHO she should quit while she is not too far behind.
If you dont have a Rav, how would you handle the following situation.
As a favor, we allowed someone to stay in our apartment for a few days. This guest had a chezkas kashrus when he moved in. Upon the guest moving out (upon our return) , we discovered in the garbage empty boxes from treif pizza, and other treif (not a question of whether the hechsher was reliable) foodstuff. Guest only had access to a microwave oven. Melted cheese was found in the microwave (and treif pizza boxes were found in the trash) . Must we assume treif pizza was warmed in microwave despite the readily available kosher pizza in the neighborhood. If yes, must we assume it was also used for neveila (or chazer) despite no evidence of such food. If yes, may we kasher the microwave, and how. Furthermore, this person stayed by someone in the neighborhood for a few days prior to staying by us. Must we alert the neighbors that their kitchen and utensils may be problematic. May we (without any proof, we only have the circumstantial evidence of the empty boxes which is certainly compelling evidence – but how does halacha see it)? Perhaps the person has a chezkas kashrus until there is a reason to assume otherwise? Is our “evidence” enough of a reason?
chabadshlucha:”@everyone I challenge those quiet spectators to speak up and tell me whether this has helped you understand the Lubavitch views on the Rebbe better, in a positive way, ”
No, in fact, the opposite is true. Before reading this thread, I figured I didnt quite understand and applied live and let live, now, quite frankly, I think those who believe what you claim they do are simply crazy. Sorry for the harsh response. I’m certain I am not the only one who feels this way, but am probably in the minority willing to come straight out and say it.
