They say about Rav Kaduri, ZT’L. It’s been debunked. It’s a fraud.
ubiquitin: On the contrary, the vote totals were overwhelmingly from the Right. In general, every election’s votes were significantly Center and Right. Actual radical Left-wing parties are facing oblivion. Meretz is out and Labor got 5 seats.
Lieberman is really on the Right, but hates Chareidim more then he cares about the Country. Lapid and Ganz, while good for nothing, aren’t extreme Left.
akuperna; nobody is talking about ethnic cleansing. I have no idea where you got that from. The only comments were about deporting terrorists.
The most annoying thing, is the Jewish in name only American Liberal Jews thinking they know what’s better for Israel, than Israelis.
I think it’s essential to teach TANACH. There are so many missionaries out there targeting Jews. Lots of Yeshiva students don’t know how to answer, both for themselves and for observers of any conversation.
I always viewed him as a loose cannon. I seriously doubt he’d get 8 seats, or even pass the threshold on his own. That being said, I now believe his voice is needed the Knesset. He brings issues into the public sphere that is sorely needed. I haven’t decided who I will vote for yet, but he is under consideration and I am not a Hilltop Youth.
You can delude yourself all you want. Learn from history. Hashem is sending you a message. Ilived on the U. S. For the first 57 years of my life. I can tell you that Israel os infinetly better, perfect no, but much better.
If all the Jews would come home, where Hashem wants us to be, things would change for the better and it send a message that we really do want Moshiach, not just pay lip service to it.
Everyone should know, that the xtions put out a fraudulent video claiming that the Baba Sali, ZTL, said that Yoshka is Moshiach.
Avira: First of all, that;s not true. Also, many of the “Jews” in America are NOT Halachic Jews.
The fact that there are so many Jews in America, is nothing to be proud of. You are acting just like the Meraglim. Hashem never told anyone that we belong in America. The situation there is deteriorating rapidly. Jews are beaten in the streets of you ir hakodesh.
There are also far more murders and shootings in many U.S. cities in one weekend than in all of Israel in an entire year. Keep deluding yourself.
When you are forced to run away from your paradise, where are you going to go?
Heath: It’s funny that you are using the typical tactic of the Left. First you are making an assumption and then pretend it’s fact. It remains to be seen how Bennett will act. You assume the worst.
Then, you pick on the minor aspect of a post and ignore the crux of the matter. If Netanyahu treated people properly, none of this would be happening. Besides, it’s all B’Yadei Shomayim and it will be ok.
As an Israeli citizen, While I prefer Netanyahu remain Prime Minister, the reality is that the current situation is Netanyahu’s fault.
He has treated Bennett and Saar like trash. They both are like the battered women who finally strikes back. You can’t contantly berate people and expect them to cower. The other problem with Netsnyshu, which is a failure of leadership, is destroying anyone who has the ability to replace him. A true leader id concerned about the future and actually trains their replacement. No one lives forever.
A look at Netanyahu’s history, he had formed governments in the past with the Left, yet he is critical of those doing the same. The Right Wing won the election, yet thanks to Netanyahu, they lost the government.
Bennett served as both Defense and Education Minister. He demonstrated that he is capable. This government will not last beyond Bennetts two year term, so Lapid will never be PM.
For your #1 and for evidence when something happens.
When making Aliyah, we were asked for a copy of our marriage license, not our Kesuvah, which I thought was odd.
CTLAWYER Some people put the diamond in a safe and wear a CZ. Seems like a waste to me, especially as you say, that it is not a great investment.
lilmod ulelamaid: I answered you on the other thread before I saw this. You missed the point. Instead you are diverting the issue.
CTLAWYER: I think you and RebYidd23 are speaking of two different aspects of it. He is speaking from an investment aspect and you of the sentiment. He didn’t mention an engagement ring.
Halevai that your last line should only be!
Person1: I know of many long term successful marriages between people who have some opposite attributes. As long as at their core, i.e. values, they are similar.
When personalities and/or abilities compliment each other, each person can learn from each other and grow. You may not become an extrovert, but you may become a little more outgoing.
Good luck!
It is my understanding, that while they are not accredited themselves, they work through an accredited college fr their english courses, where the students do get college credits.
Little Froggie: I understand that there are legit. reasons that people can’t make Aliyah right now. I have no issue with those people. The key is to want it. Also, for the most part, people with realistic expectations can make it work.
The shame is for those people who don’t care about the near or actual majority of world Jewry who live in Israel, who speak Loshon Horoh about it and act like the Meraglim and Erev Rav.
Rabbi of Crawley: Show me ONE place in the Torah that Hashem tells us to live in America.
Hashem did promise us that the Land will remain desolate until it’s time for Jews to come home. I guess you don’t believe in that Torah, especially since it actually happened that way. For the first time in the history of mankind that a desolate land came back to life.
Think about the actions of the Erev Rav in the Midbar and see who in our generation, both Frum and not, that emulate them.
Rabbi of Crawley: Give it a rest already. We know how superior the government is in the U.S. and that the morality is better than ever in the U.S.
While there is much to be desired with the Israeli government, they fund Torah learning far more than any entity in our cumulative history.
Your Meraglim mentality would ever let you be objective, but the quality of life in Israel is far superior. Raising children here is infinitely better. I know people whose children were at risk, hanging around with the wrong crowd. B”H they made Aliyah. The quality of their friends and the positive peer pressure has been extremely beneficial for them.
There are plenty of poor people in the States. Even people making a reasonable income struggle. At least in Israel, tuitions and health insurance costs are very inexpensive. You don’t need the level of income in Israel to make ends meet.
More important, the level of Torah learning is so far superior than the levels in the U.S. You’d be shocked how much kids learn here compared to the U.S.
Not that any of this will mean anything to your hateful mind, but at least it may make a difference to others.
At this stage of history, with Moshiach on our doorstep, where do you thing Hashem wants us all to be? Hint, it’s not with Esav. The world is imploding for a reason.
Joseph: So math and science is not important to you, I guess. Also, Gemmoroh aside,( and that is subject to question) most Chareidim do not have a well rounded education even in Torah subjects.
Joseph: Again you miss the point on why an education is important for Chareidim.
Joseph: You missed the point. You don’t need a college degree to be a Mashgiach for most things. You do need science and math if you run a Kashrus organization that deals with manufacturing.
If nobody has that background, you’re back to the 50’s where most people ate candies and other things because nobody knew better.
Joseph: Today’s Chumrah of the week club doesn’t define Judaism either. Remember, Chumrah and Chamor have the same shoresh. Things may have been a bit lax years ago, especially in lack of understanding in kashrus matters relating to food production, i.e. things like candies, etc.
We are probably headed back to those days, since certain subjects, like science, has been assured in many Chareidi schools. Without that knowledge, it’s back to the 50’s ignorance.
Have you noticed that Kashrut administrators that deal with food production mostly have University educations?
Joseph: You belong in Saudi Arabia. I bet if you saw a woman drowning, you wouldn’t save her because of negia.
Golfer: Karnei Shomron. Your post is very much on target. Tragically and to their peril, many Jews in the U.S. think they live in Eir HaKodesh and that their Golus is, for all practical purposes, over.
DaasYochid: When you live here, then you can speak from first hand experience. Until then, you have no clue what you are talking about.
You listen to media nonsense. No one is denying that incidents occur, but it is nothing like you think.
At the same time, we are far safer than most of the world and we have Hashem’s protection far greater than you do.
DaasYochid: You couldn’t be more wrong. We live in the Shomron. We are perfectly safe. Your knowledge comes from media that looks to cause us harm. When Jews are harmed or killed ch’v, we feel it on a personal level. In your communities, while it affects people there too, but instances that occur in the States are downplayed, especially compared how things are portrayed here.
If you look at the statistics in the States on violent crimes, it far surpases what we experience in Eretz Yisroel, including wars. It just has a greater impact on us, since we are all family in words and deeds.
We live in a beautiful community, that while there are Frum people here of all stripes, there is a phenomenal sense of community and achdus to the likes I have never seen in all my years in the three communities I’ve lived in the U.S.
There is no antagonism over what Yarmulkah someone wears and every variety exists here.
We have Chareidi, Chardal, Dati Leumi and CHABAD (though they fit in one of the other groups, I mention them for a reason). We have Ashkenazim, Sefardim and in other sections of our Yishuv, there are Chilomin too. Everyone interacts with each other and gets along without the judgmentalism that we see on this forum and most of the communities that people herein live.
This is how it’s supposed to be.
From thousands of miles away, you hardly know the reality more than we do.
The ignorance and stupidity knows no bounds. When a Jews gets killed (ch’v) in Williamsburg, we can give many reasons, probably far more accurate why it happened.
Have those fools ever been in Yehuda or Shomron? Not that they care, but for those that do, Israel is 9 miles wide without it and could ch’v be cut in half in minutes which puts the lives of millions of Jews in jeopardy.
All of Israel’s major population centers and the airport are in short rocket range without Yehuda and Shomron.
For the most part, most places in Yehuda or Shomron are safe. There are some hot spots. Things happen everywhere, including the U.S., which is headed in the direction of Europe. When you guys finally wake up, where will you go?
More important, where does Hashem want you to be? Before you give your idiotic ignorant answers, Hashem promised us that the Land will lay fallow until it’s time for us to come home and then it will bloom again. This is exactly what happened. This nais, is something that never happened anywhere else in the world.
So remember, where you attack Eretz Yisroel, you act like the Erev Rav and the Miraglim and are not doing Ratzon Hashem.
I live in the Shomron. I have absolutely no fear living here or driving on it’s roads. Look around you. We are far safer than you think you are and we are the one’s that have Emunah, not you!
Joseph: That is true too. There is a concept that every pasuk in the Torah represents a year in the history of the world. Go check the year corresponding to 1938/9, the effective beginning of the holocaust and you will see.
Also, check the pasukim for 1948 and 1967 and you may learn something from it, but I doubt it!
What the Joseph’s of the world are blind too, is that the very creation and survival of the State of Israel against all odds, and all the Nissim that take place here all the time, could not happened without Hashem.
We are in the process of Kibbutz Golios with probably a majority of Jews world-wide living in Eretz Yisroel now (or very close to it). It’s sad to see Jews learning nothing from the Torah and acting like modern day Meraglim and a lot acting like the Erev Rav.
Too make the same mistakes at every opportunity that the door of Eretz Yisroel are open to us is criminal. We are now nearing the end of history as we know it with Moshiach’s imminent arrival.
Jews have to make a choice which side in the Geulah process they are on. While there are legitimate reasons people can’t make Aliya right now, you should at-least want it.
The problems in Israel, with the government and Arabs would go away if we all chose to be here.
Worst of all, is those that speak ill of the Land and bring harm to all of Klal Yisroel.
Mashiach Agent: Absolutely on target. Did you hear of the guy driving in Baltimore while playing Pokemon and plowing into a parked police car or the people walking off a cliff?
A friend told me that he loves the game because it gets his kids off the couch and walking the streets learning their environment. Sounds good, but people are focused on their phones and not looking where they are going.
Also, BMG allows the “treif” smartphones?
Joseph: Repeating a statement over and over doesn’t make it so. Your last comment can be said about anything, i.e. Black hat or streimel, etc.
As long as no Halacha is being broken, why should anyone care what’s on someone else’s head?
147: And you don’t think women have the same issues with their head coverings?
Veltz Meshugener: “Only a goy would wear a kippah serugah.” I guess your name fist you! You just highlighted the problem. Maybe only a “GOY WOULD WEAR” A STRIEMEL, since it was copied from Russian and Polish noblemen?
While I don’t mean that comment, (just reversing it on you) you tragically do. How ignorant can you be! BTW, I don’t wear a Kippa Seruga, so it’s not a personal issue for me. Just that the attitude you demonstrated sickens me and harms Klal Yisroel.
Joseph: Where did you come to that conclusion? Growing up in Boro Park, in those days most people wore a Kippa Seruga and it wasn’t a big deal about anything. I don’t know who turned the Yarmulka into group symbols but it accomplished dividing people and that’s insidious.
The best yarmulkah to wear is the one that is 1/2 suede and 1/2 kippa serugah. All this nonsense needs to stop.
Without repeating the whole story, remember the one about Moshiach coming and being rejected for what he was wearing and gives up and leaves. Effectively, that is what is being accomplished with all this baloney.
The biggest joke is the one in a Chassidish children’s book that has Moshe Rabbeinu pictured in a Streimel. Everyone who thinks that what is on their head makes them superior to other Frum Jews in a moron.
akuperma: And the only thing those Muslim groups agree upon is killing us. None of the muslim groups fighting each other, fight to stop terrorism. They fight over religious differences and control.
They are not fighting for the greater good of anyone but themselves and each of the groups are terror based, unlike your insinuation by the false Aryan comment of yours.
What difference does it make which Kippah you wear. Your head is supposed to be covered. Where does it say by what?
Also, what of those guys that wear their Yarmulkahs on the side of their head, leaving the top nearly uncovered? Is that ok?
People need to learn what’s really important not this nonsense that divides people.
DaasYochid: Are you talking about Dati in Israel? If so, you are sadly mistaken.
You also have people of all stripes, including Chareidim, that pay lip service to Das Torah. Nothing new with that.
Avi K: I didn’t say it in a hostile way. I think my background worried him more than my remark. Only thing is, I would never, ever want to convict someone who is innocent. My guess is that he knew his client was far from that.
My attitude with Turkish Air is, it’s safe until it isn’t! I’ll pay more to fly El Al any day.
Franchises are good for the training and support. Check with other franchise owners about their experiences with the franchisor.
Food ones don’t always make enough money, especially for the first generation owner, since they often require a whole lot of money between franchise fees, building out the facility and working capital. In many cases, it’s more cost effective to buy one that is already in business. The kosher market is generally not worth it.
Depending on your interests and aptitude, a service franchise may be a better option, since they are lower in operation and startup costs.
Defense attorneys don’t want people who can think for themselves. The last time I was on Jury Duty, 10 of us were called up to the Judge. One clueless woman was the only one chosen for the Jury. The Defense Attorney knocked out everyone else.
He asked me, ” Do you have a problem with people running around in the streets with guns?” I answered, “I have a problem with criminals running around the streets with guns, don’t you?” Seems like a reasonable answer to me, but he knocked me out. At least it was only one wasted day, not three.

ABS-SA: That’s not necessarily so. I never had those thoughts. The issue is to know who you are first and then think about what you are looking for.
When you meet the right person, you’ll just know!
If people won’t accept a Chumrah, you create more problems than you solve. Even the smartphone issue, all a smartphone is, is a computer. You can put filters on it just as you can a computer.
You see many Chareidim with smartphones, sometimes as a hidden phone and use the dumb phone when it public. The whole issue makes no sense, especially since it take so long to load any graphics on a phone, especially as compared to a computer. Ban the computer then too.
The only way chumrahs will work is if they are universally accepted among all or at least most Frum people. Not when one Rov comes up with something and puts pressure on others to go along.
Life spans were a lot shorter back then.
No doubt that there are Shuls that daven too fast, there are also Shuls that Daven soooo slow as if there is a contest on you can finish last, with some mispalalim never saying Kedusha.
Then you have some guys with gyrations all over the place and waving fists as if they’re in a boxing match. I saw one guy whose shukkeling to a point of nearly hitting his head on the table before him. I find it hard to believe you can really have Kavonoh doing these things. It’s more like a show, “see how Frum I am.” More like insane.
ocho sinco Sounds like a convenient excuse. Are you sure you really want to get married?
Jews did protest in the past, i.e., for Soviet Jewry. Part of the problem is the conflicting facts that confuse people.
Blacks, on the other hand, have rioted before knowing any facts at all and it makes no difference when the truth finally comes out. Is that how we want to be?
creamsoda: Just curious, where do you live? If in the West and you believe as you do, why would you still live there?
“No, only his support for a generous welfare state are certainly Torah-true.”
charliehall: The structure of welfare in the U.S. is “hardly Torah True.” The whole process is demeaning and creates generations of poverty in those people. All it is, is a political tool for Democrats to insure voters who are dependent.
Real “Torah true” charity is to help someone become independent.
The people I asked about this issue after making Aliyah, (all Chareidim) said that the issue was purely political. The lack of HaKoras HaTov for those risking their lives to protect them is astounding.
Politics should NOT enter the equation. Rule # 1…be a Mentch and the lack of HaKoras HaTov is NOT mentchlach.
