Mazel tov!!!!!haimy, I
agreevwihbyou. i dont like it either but the truth is, if you reall dont like it, try a different news sight.it also depends on were you live.
were i live, just me and my husband, we could spend over a hundred a week.
But after doing shabbos shopping, you could add at least another fifty.There was also a lot of survivors kids that were not frum after the war bur were very traditional, they would send there kids to hebrew school and the kids would have a connection to yidishkeit. As the generations went on, that connection to yidishkeit faded so now its harder to do kiruv.
Rbbitzen:
Not sure what community you live but the well populated community i live in, not the men or the ladies say hallel and definitely not with a brocha. And i dont consider it a radical thing!!
a great quote on this is:
“if the yidden dont make kiddish, than the goyim will make havdalla”HaShem makes antisemitism in the world to remind us that we are different from the goyim so that we should act different.

” Just because I hang out with these people doesn’t mean I am automatically them. ”
Your right, it duz not happen the first time you hang out or the second or the third but over time it causes you to change.When you say ‘respect’ when it comes to some one who is conservative, there is a difference between respect and becoming there best friend, you can respect them from a distance.
Also, my personal opinion on your view on woman is that you are convincing yourself that to hang out with girls is ok because it takes away your teives. I f you want to hang out with girls, at least dont tell yourself that its a mitzva and that its a good thing for you!

JOSEPH:
there were not that many false mashiachs that were reel enough that the rabanim got convinced. When it did happen, it was in a very difficult time for klal yisroel but there were still rabanim that were able to understand that it was not the real thing, just the yidden were despret to get out of the hard matziv that they were in that they did not think to much about it and just followed along with it. When mashiach comes for real, we will know its true from the rabanim that say that it is real!The truth is that before mashich duz come, its going to be a very confusing time, and thats why we need to have a rav that we could trust that will hellp us know what to believe and what not to…
Our brains are so limited in that we think that the way the news of mashiahs arrival well be shared on the internet. HaShem has made many miracles in the past and with the a rival of mashiach He can to make miracles to announce Mashiach’s presence. I can assure you, you will find out with out the use of internet! And may that special day come reel quick!!
Rabbi Cohnes in lakewood
wow! mazel tov!
just thinking though, since there are so many single girls and boys in the coffee room, we should do something more productive, like people should send in there sesames and stuff!this is so crazy! there must be a way to get them out!! waiting around might get them out physically by emotionally and physiologically, im not sure how long they could last in there!!
syag lochochma
sorry you are offended! I think it just shows every ones concern for these boys, trying to think of a way to get them out…just cuz some one did it, duz not mean that they are on the level to get an answer, maybe ya and maybe no…
basically, its turning pages in a tinach back and forth… that part is no secret but you need t be on a high level in order to get a legit answer.
i would think that if a Rosh Yeshiva has one, it is filtered very strictly, but still if its assur, than its assur and there should be no excuse for anyone at all!!!!
but a good solution that I use and was suggested by tag, is to have a kosher phone but then you have a lap top with e-mail and stuff that you need, like yeshiva world of course!!
only yanny, as hard as i try i cant hear laurel
easy to say or not, thats the truth! and the tear gas on the rabanim, is a red haring, Im asuming that you are talking about in eretz yesroel but MOST of the time tear gas is used when lots of people that are protesting and stuff, they use it to restore order. But when i say achdus, i mean that each indaviguale should work on not hating another jew for silly reasons, and to go out of the way to help another jew, now matter how different he is from you.
its actually when klal yisroel learn to have achdus and work together, he is a Zionist and im not, but so what, we are brothers and we have the same Father, so we cant be that different…
its a government that claims to have justice system, just Jews fall between the cracks! if the kid was of any other race, i i think the government would take it more seriously!
i guess its more of an inner pride. Your right that its not nice to walk around with your nose in the air, but i still think inside there should be pride. But this still should not make one change there dress code…

whats this ga’avah thing have to do with Jewish pride? Firstly, every Midah has good parts to it and bad part, the good part of the midah of ga’avah would to be proud that your a jew!! Its the opposite of what your saying, it is a way to expressing ga’ava in a positive way!Also, our goal is not to blend into the goyim and try to dress to make them happy. Like in Mitzrayim it was a praise on the yidden that they did not change there close. We also know that before ww2, the Germans were looked up to and the yidden tried to blend in to them, dress like them. Did that save the yidden in the war?
Take a different example, take davaning. If you are in a public place and you have to daven before you miss the zman, than yes, daven. Its advised that you go to a corner and daven, not just start davaning in middle a everything, but to go to a telephone booth to daven, cuz you dont want to make a ‘chilul HaShem’ than i think that shows that the person is embarrassed. I think its the same with the tzitzis, amusing that you are on that level, and its something that you always do, than it would seem that you are embarrassed if you tuck them in, in no way is it a chillul HaShem!
To wear tzitzis and peyos is never a chillel HaShem, if anything its a Kidish HaShem, even around people that are not used to seeing such things. A kidish HaShem means to do what HaShem wants, and HaShem said to wear tzitzis and peyos, and if your minhag is to wear long tzitzis and payis, than that too is a Kidish HaShem!! And this should bring us to Jewish pride, by doing whats write, even if its awkward or hard, doing it SHOULD make us proud!!!
G-d runs the world but hides Himself behind nature. Yes, one can look at a tree and its fruit and realize how it is all from Hashem or some one can easily explain it as its just nature. If it would be so clear that HaShem runs the world than we would have no bechira to have emuna but because HaShem disguises Himself in teva, it is up to us to find Him in nature.
Zhavasdad,
i thind that there are ways to prove G-d in this world but there are people that will rather take clear proofs that there is a G-d running the world and explain it according to nature. So yes, everything really douse come down to having emuna!!As long as we are in galus, we cant relax and say that we are safe. We also have to realize that all the things that we think we can rely on to save us is really nothing but a test in our emunah. NO, America will not be the one to protect Israel. And for all of us that live in America, we should not feel more safe here than living in Eretz Yisroel. we have to pin all our hope on Hashem and daven that we will be zoche to see the end of this confusing galus!
