Actually the true cowards are the ones who want to bring back the Iran deal and remove the terrorist designation of the IRGC. So who is for supporting dictators again hmmm?
There were people who wanted to abolish the minhag of groggers because they made too much noise. The Rema wrote against those who would try to abolish or belittle any minhag of klal yisroel
Why not just start school later?
I’m tired of changing clocks but I’d rather have permanent standard time instead of permanent dstIf people don’t want to accept professional standards and transparency then they don’t get to play the loshon hora card when it leads to problems.
and victims should always be encouraged to report directly to police just like someone who sees a drowning woman shouldn’t wait to ask a rav a shaila before trying to save herMaybe he was tired and instead of shmoozing in the coffee room, he at least kept some connection to Torah
Do you know what really murders people? Not speaking out against those who try to murder us
I really suggest “learning how to learn” shiurim such as the ones given by the late Rabbi nachman Morgan ztl instead of the typical daf yomi shiurim for those who didn’t adequately receive those skills in yeshiva. ezralatalmid has many of the shiurim as audio files
There are two models. The other one is bochurim who learn in yeshiva by day and go to touro at night, major in a field that makes sense for parnasa such as finance, computers or accounting, become frum professionals.
On the other hand, many modern orthodox spend even more money on university, major in art history or philosophy because that sounds more interesting then end up in debt and are finding they can’t afford day school tuition. Many are now sending their children to public schools… and it’s not as if they were strong in the jewish department to begin withDr. Iwasaki explains:
How is the vaccine helping some long-haulers?
As many as 30 to 40% of those who get the vaccine have reported improvements to their symptoms. “I’ve heard from people who say they no longer have ‘brain fog,’ their gastrointestinal problems have gone away, or they stopped suffering from the shortness of breath they’ve been living with since being diagnosed with COVID-19,” says Iwasaki.What gets me is that Dr. Ditchek warned about covid before purim on this very site and if only its readers actually followed that warning we would have been able to prevent many deaths. Everyone would have looked up to the frum community as a role model. But no, we have the opposite reaction
Recovered unvaxxed people are not better off…look up long covid:
“Long COVID can affect nearly every organ system with sequelae including respiratory system disorders, nervous system and neurocognitive disorders, mental health disorders, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, malaise, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and anemia”Whereas i managed to avoid getting covid since i realized what was coming before purim last year and was only sore for a day after the shot…
I think that it is sad that instead of being proud of trump for pushing out the vaccines in record time by cutting red tape and Israel for leading the way in vaccinating the population, alt right kooks had to throw out their victory and became the problem. And cuomo is smiling because they can’t accuse him of murder for what he did to nursing home patients when these kooks infected millions due to their reckless disregard for human health
Yabia how would you characterize the chofetz chaim, vilna gaon and the chasam sofer? Are they more like chareidi, MO or sephardi (?!?)i
Charedim usually don’t believe in using the internet so we will have to miss you here… it’s a serious thing. My cousin is charedi and hardly even uses a kosher phone because he is learning all the time
Dovrosenbaum wrote
“There are many people who never developed the linguistic skills to learn inside on their own. …Should these people never get to experience the mesikus and amkus hatorah? ”Of course, that’s why we need more shiurim so that they will learn these skills and not just daf yomi or “high level” lomdus shiurim that don’t require the listener to work inside the text.
Gadolhatorah i didn’t call for boycotting b&j because of liberal views that they’ve had for years until they actually turned it into a policy that targets jews. If you go after everyone that doesn’t sing hatikva then you’ll be shutting out many people that support jews all over, no matter where they live
If a kosher restaurant hosted jews for j lectures you’d be ok with that receiving a hechsher?
That would be great…we’d have our bots be in charge of saying all of the loshon hora and shtus we would have said, thus freeing up more time to learn Torah.
Is this referring to how some people sing the end of Alenu?
I wish for him to see the rebuilding of the beis hamikdash in yerushalaim
ah I see someone else had the same question I had. So now that I’ve gone through a few shiurim I can suggest https://ezralatalmid. com/gemara/ by Rabbi Nachman Morgan z’l
You’ll find eilu metzios shiurim on jle…start from the beginning, from 2015. The first 2 shiurim are intros and the 4th from the top seems to be a mistake as it’s about a different gemara but you can continue from thereBllack is beautiful….there is a reason why formal events are “black tie’ only
Always ask questions asks what is the value of the easily destroyed yeshiva education?
The education is completely academic. They know how to keep shabbos but they count the hours and minutes until it is over so that they can watch a movie or be on the internet. They show up to daven every day but they don’t think about what they are saying in order to get it over with. They can read tanach to do well on tests but they’d rather read secular books for pleasure. There was never a strong connection to yiddishkeit so when grades don’t matter and nobody is around to bother them about these things… there’s not much left to go on.Palm Tree, NY
Schug, harissa and olive oil with zaatar
Before the pandemic i wasn’t consistent about getting enough vitamin d and other vitamins every day. While certain vitamins such as vitamin c are very easy to get from food, its not so easy to get vitamin d unless you want to eat salmon and herring every day. As a result, most people are deficient … there’s no need to take ridiculous amounts, just 100% every day in order to not have a deficiency
Milhouse you can grill chicken and then cook it in a sauce (source: Rabbi Lesches of Melbourne)
“Roasted meat or poultry may not be eaten
at the Seder, even if it was cooked prior to
roasting. However, it may be eaten if it was
cooked after roasting. [Liver is often just
roasted, and it should therefore not be
eaten at the Seder.] Pot-roast is treated as
regular roast, unless water or juice is added
before cooking.”it is not a kula to daven with a minyan. It is outright evil and despicable to do so at this time
Godwin’s rule: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1”
Children need to be taught k’darko. My niece was bored to tears every day because she wasn’t challenged enough. She wanted to learn more but nope, need to stick with the rest of the class. Others are falling behind behind but they too must keep up with the rest of the class so they keep sinking since the next skill depends on what they have failed to learned previously. We have the technology for self paced mastery education…it’s about time we use it.
However, if there is an actual medical issue then the child needs medication. All of the technology and ideas in education won’t be able to mask a real medical conditionjoy is important but there also has to be an intellectual component as well. Especially if people have questions and not only are they treated with no answers or superficial answers but even a “how can you even think of asking this?” kind of response
what I do for all sorts of things of this nature is make a cheshbon hanefesh chart. Make a table in Word with a column for every day of the week plus Total and a new row for every goal you keep track of. Set a goal: maybe you think you can go without it completely, maybe limit it to just 30 minutes or so. Check off if you met your goal the next day and also check off how many times you met your goal after every week, month ,etc
Yanky probably did have some classes but like most classes and shiurim, if you just listen to them and don’t actively work on internalizing them, it will be in one ear and out the other. Next time you go to a shiur that isn’t on Shabbos, bring a pencil and notebook. Test yourself, review and ask questions. Don’t just rely on osmosis and inspiration of the experience because that doesn’t last long.
There are lots of teens that are into Shabbos texting but keep everything else. People who eat treif from time to time, to see what the fuss is all about, but they keep shabbos. Some people are frum even though they say loshon hora and get into nasty arguments with other Jews! So some people have taavos to do things that you would never dream of, but they still have a connection to Hashem. I know someone who would go to non kosher places…but also davened. In private. It wasn’t to impress anyone.
And others do a really good job at fooling people with how many things they keep even though they have nothing to do with Hashem….or so they want to think.I read through the thread…can’t say I read every single post but it was a long read. Sad story but please never give up.
One thing that I couldn’t help but notice though…he was described by the things he did or didn’t do. He wore jeans, didn’t keep Shabbos, etc. But really missing was the sense of his connection to Hashem. The love for Hashem for giving us the ability to see, hear and smell, the gift of just being alive. The awe of Hashem for the management of the entire universe, from the largest galaxies to the tiniest sub atomic particles at every second. This sense of appreciation for everything Hashem does seemed to be missing and I couldn’t understand why not.
AOC and also Ilhan Omar and Linda Sarsour backing her…
many sephardim are not keeping very much, especially in America. That is why Chazaq’s work is very very important
People who know how to learn, speak yeshivish and learn gemara. People who don’t know how to learn, speak proper Hebrew and learn dikduk…
The same is true of every field. Those that can’t solve problems like to think they are superior by pointing out grammatical mistakes instead of making useful contributions to the world.you know if someone is Israeli if he says ‘chamesh shekel’ instead of ‘chamisha shkalim’
The difference between Ashkenaz and Sephardic Torah is not about the gedolim. It is that the average ashkenazic baalei batim were more learned than the sephardim. The european tailor might not know all of shas but he could at least learn through gemara and Tosfos that he remembered from his yeshiva days. This is something that Rav Ovadya had to change and it is much better now, at least in EY.
If you want to know who is a gadol, try to be a gadol yourself and then find someone who knows more than you. But unless you really try for yourself, your gedolim will always be ‘picked’ for you.
I assume the OP doesn’t have any single malts 🙂
solution to the shidduch crisis: become better people, especially with relating to others. Pushing people who are not mature enough to get married is not a solution.
Even sefardim agree that kitniyot, such as rice, have to be checked for actual chametz. They know how to check, it is part of their mesora just like they know how to look for simanim of kosher grasshoppers. Theoretical knowledge is not enough; one must have actual real life experience. Ashkenazim don’t have this mesora and have no business taking from the sefardim.
One should never say “and THIS is why moshiach didn’t come.”
I support Israel’s Law of return…muslims shouldn’t have the right to immigrate there.
