    Anyone who promotes abortion rights is a racist on a genocidal level. The vast majority of abortions have been black babies.
    Well more than the million Jewish children murdered in the holocaust.

    In fact, Maragaret Sanger, the founder of planned Parenthood specifically promoted abortion to stem black population growth.

    So congrats racists. Be proud of yourselves. The Germans don’t hold a candle to your level of genocide.

    And all done while convincing your victims and the world that you are actually helping your victims by murdering their babies and miracle of miracles…..they believe it too!!

    Not only that you’ve managed to convince the goilems of the world that those who are fighting against the murder of black babies are all racists.

    They are pretty stupid racists if you ask me.

    I mean, shouldn’t the racists rejoice and promote a practice that has murdered tens of millions of black babies and prevented the blacks from being an even more powerful demographic force in America’s politics?

    Why do they insist on fighting against black baby murder? Talk about shooting yourself in the 🦶!!

    The vast majority of abortions are convenience abortions and it is convenience abortions that the pro baby murder movement is mainly concerned with.

    So long as states permit convenience abortions they are tolerating murder of the most gruesome type. Modern Molech worship.

    The thought leaders of the abortion movement have already taken the next step and want to murder fully born babies who ‘survived’ their abortions. Barack Obama shr”y for example.

    In Ancient Rome unwanted children were left to die after birth as a matter of course. The Rambam writes that through yoshke the western world came closer to the Torah. Sanctity of life is one example. But America is slowly returning towards that depravity.

    While there may or may not be reasons to be fearful of restrictions on abortions how one can identify with or promote this culture of Molech worship is beyond me and it is shocking that a person who calls himself a Torah Jew could identify with this depravity.

    If the society around us slouches towards Gemorrah as d.p. Moynihan coined the phrase it will cease to be a hospitable place for us to live.

    At this point in time the fear of the ‘right’ preventing kiyum haTorah is a joke compared to the ‘left’ which can easily cancel whole sections of the Torah that are clearly not woke.

    Someone wrote on top that we know these massacres are true because the intelligence agencies and the mainstream media have have saying so for weeks.

    This demonstrates a level of shallowness that is extremely dangerous.

    If you read Russian propaganda you would believe it automatically bc it is their mainstream media? How about Chinese?

    What has american media and intelligence done to earn your trust?

    Russiagate? Hunter’s laptop? The lies about about the anti sexualizing children and turning them against their families bill in Florida? The lies about abortion being pro choice when in reality it is about justifying murder? The lies that if you feel like a member of the opposite sex then poof! you are?

    Orwell’s 2+2=5 is not far off in America. And it’s all because of unquestioning nabobs who think that bc they subscribe to popular opinion they are moral and smart. אברהם העברי seems to be dead amongst many of his children.

    The media says that evolution is a fact that can’t be denied. Should we believe that as well? Torah min haShomayim – only unsophisticated fools believe that!

    So be careful who you accept as your source of truth.

    If you really believe that whatever is on the news is anything other than propoganda you are quite hopeless.

    Americans tend to make fun of other cultures who believe whatever they are told by their government, but americans and by the conversations on this board many frum Jews have let themselves be brainwashed no different than the Chinese automotons.

    If only you would use your כח האמונה for belief in חזל and the Torah with a fraction that you use it for belief in your true חכמים- the נביאי השקר of modernity.

    כל האדם כוזב, that includes propogandists posing as intelligence agencies ( which btw, a main function if not THE main function of intelligence agencies foremost amongst them the c.i.a. is the spreading of disinformation, which until recently mainly did this against enemies of the us but since Obama has been using this against political opposition to the ruling classes excesses starting with the IRS persecution of pro tea party nonprofits)

    And how many civilians did the us kill in Iraq Libya and Afghanistan? How about Korea? Vietnam? Bay of Pigs?

    Whoops, my bad, I forgot. if american bombs and wars kill you then it was not only justified but for your own benefit!!

    Only Russian bombs and wars are evil.

    America has a right to protect it’s national interests even if that means regime change and invasion of sovereign states but Russia does not.

    Biden just told us that Putin has to go because america doesn’t like him. The arrogance is disgusting.

    In any case these massacre claims are as believable as the ghost of Kiev and the snake island hoax all naive fools believed bc whatever the nightly news says is just one step down from Moshe m’pi hagvura.

    The more important question to ask is:

    If say likud comes to power tomorrow or in two years, will there be any significant difference to the most pressing issues Israel is facing?

    Unfortunately, the fact is that the problems that are afflicting Israel today have been around for the 12 years of likud rule and bibi did not lift a finger to fix any of them.

    He talks big but in maaasim he was an efes.

    Most of the good bibi did was not from his stint as pm but as finance minister where almost 20 years on as a direct result of bibi’s initiatives which were very unpopular at the time – Israel is an economic powerhouse that is able to withstand major global economic upheavals.

    But as pm?
    Here is a list of problems that bibi only paid lip service to:

    1) Israeli soldiers’ lives are wasted and put in danger due to
    ridiculous rules of engagement.
    2)Israel is a terribly expensive place to live. E.g. Will they ever release land to build on thereby boosting supply and lowering or at least halting the rise in housing costs?
    3)The bedouins rule the Negev making the lives of Jews who live there unimaginably miserable
    4)Bagatz and the d.a.’s office are corrupt and undermine any semblance of democracy Israel claims to have.
    5) The police abuse their power and are useless in terms of protecting Israel’s citizens.
    6) The Israeli Arabs are armed to the hilt with tens of thousands of weapons being stolen off army bases yearly. And they basically live in states within the state. Last week’s attacks was the beginning of this ticking for years time bomb being set off.
    7)Last year’s riots in Lod, Akko, Yaffo etc showed that when push comes to shove Israeli citizens lives are as hefker as they were in Russia under the czars if not worse.

    The list of bibi’s failures goes on and on.

    Is Bennet really any worse? The day care subsidy law is rough. But most of the differences under Bennet are cosmetic and ego based.

    Yeah, if you get your Jewish identity from the state of Israel then indeed have a government that doesn’t really view Israel as a Jewish state but as a state of all it’s citizens than the current government is painful and this is hard for many masorati Jews in Israel, but for those who never subscribed to the reishit tzemichat geulateinu pablum – if you can live in America you can live under a non Jewish government in Israel.

    Iran? Khaboob, the forces enabling Iran to get nukes are bigger than any Israeli politician. There is not much bibi can do about it.

    The fact is it’s a valid question. To which I haven’t seen a decent answer

    I would posit that Putin felt that Trump respected his security concerns and was not going veiter with NATO expansion into Ukraine so no need to do anything.

    Agav, this is why you had so much Ukrainian involvement in getting trump impeached. From Russia gate, that Vindman creep , crowdstrike, to zelensky himself being involved in the first impeachment.

    No one is asking Ukrainians to be Russian. At least not the ethnic Ukrainians.

    Only for them to unambiguously forego joining NATO.

    They can trade with whom they want. Have diplomatic ties with whom they want.

    All they are being asked to do is respect their neighbors existential concerns.

    Marxist. Russia has been saying since 1994 that they would push back against NATO encroachment as to them it is a threat they will not put up with and will push back on.

    What do you think push back on means?

    Or do you just nullify what Russians claim is an existential threat?

    Yes, you wrote that you have writeen your last on this post but one point.

    You pointed out that from the Russian pov, which frustratingly all the western chauvinists have no capacity to even try to understand, the world is so simple when it is black and white, good guys versus bad guys like in the movies, grey is way too complicated for most people to handle-

    Anyway, from the Russian pov, the kasha about what the point of NATO is after the Warsaw pact so naturally the assumption is to harm Russia. Alternatively, why does the world view us so suspiciously after we have basically surrendered. Apparently they are not satisfied with the beating they have given us.

    From the Russian perspective this is a valid point.

    But there is a legitimate explanation and it has nothing to do with Russia.

    To prevent European countries whose history is pretty war infested from being בעלים over their own military.

    That would insure that they don’t start fighting again. And it’s worked for 30 years now.

    Of course, said explanation cannot be expected to assauge Russian fears.

    Which is why NATO should be containing itself and stop poking the bear.

    Unfortunately, the west’s arrogance is too great and it can’t help itself from shtucching Russia.

    It is the height of cynicism for western nations who have no skin in the game to egg on Ukrainians to get thiere own country destroyed. That the Ukrainians are not smart enough to act in their own self interest is on the Ukrainians, true, but anyone who has ever been to the Ukraine will not be surprised by this. They are quite a fantastical people.

    From an article by amnon lord:

    “President Joe Biden’s U.S is different from what we knew, and its major mistakes have led to the current war. It’s amazing to read a Thomas Friedman piece published in The New York Times in 1998 that predicts exactly the current tragedy.

    Friedman interviewed legendary “X”—George Kennan—who shaped the U.S. policy of containment for decades of the Cold War. At 94, he despaired of the policy then-President Bill Clinton and his people were leading to push NATO eastward. He and Freidman predicted a disaster.

    ”I think it is the beginning of a new cold war. I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake,” Kennan told him. At the time, no one knew who Putin was.”

    So this Russian policy has nothing to do with Putin. It has been Russian geopolitical policy for ages. Stop demonizing him for a problem that brought on by American Expansionist foreign policy.

    Maybe then, instead of empty virtue signaling that only serves to make you feel good while condemning Ukrainians to horrible suffering, you would actually pursue policies that save lives.

    Ukraine can ask to enter NATO all it wants, but NATO should clearly deny them entry. Not doing so is a causus belli for Russia as William Burns told Obama back in 2008 when he was ambassador to Russia.

    Yes, the US would do whatever it takes to protect itself, including invading Canada were they to pose a threat. And if it had to bomb citizens to protect itself it would just like the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who were killed as ‘collateral damage’ by us bombs.

    Dresden, anybody?

    And I can’t believe you are pretending the us did not kill 300,000 japanese citizens in 1945 in the span of 10 seconds. You know, Einstein and all that. Something about releasing a powerful source of energy.

    The us as any sane country, will always put its own safety first. No matter what the price. Russia is no different. Only extreme chauvinists can argue otherwise. Seems the west is full of said chauvinists.

    Duvidf. 53 deaths in New Zealand. Ok, so if you are comfortable living under the conditions they do it sounds like the kind of place you’d feel safe in. Why don’t you move there? I personally would not like to live like that and don’t want panicked people like you to push that on me.

    “As Us is edging on 1 mln of deaths, we can estimate that 500,000 of them are due to leadership and population behavior”

    Well, if Always Ask Questions determined this estimate by fiat, it must be true. So I will not ask any questions.

    I will just point out that the most heavily infected states in the us are the ones with the most restrictions and vice versa.

    You know ‘deathSantis’s Florida depite being the retirement village of America did pretty well compared to the crazy places.

    And Sweden which has had virtually no restrictions had less infection spread proportionally than Israel which had some of the roughest restrictions .

    Well GH, I was pleasantly surprised to see you accepting the removal of restrictions. I am still waiting to fly wo doing the mask mitzva ritual. Or take 17 covid tests to fly as well, just 5 to be exact. But they do cost money (sometimes doubling the cost of flying) and waste time and are Stam azoy a pointless hassle. And not having to worry if on the dates I choose to fly the country will be closed or not allow flying to or from the country I am flying to.

    You know I miss the the old days, when if you wanted to go somewhere you just bought a ticket and went.

    The other day I was on the train wo a mask and these crazy masked people gave me dirty looks and very conspicuously walked to the other side of the train while glaring at me. It was funny, actually at the time but very disappointing that 2 years on and people can still be so easily brainwashed and….. So easily manipulatable to hatred of the ‘the ones bringing misfortune’ on our society. Politicians in Israel like Lieberman and lapid are masters of this trade. They have outGobbeled Goebbels. You heard the latest nonsense about haredim causing inflation?!? 1984 is here, but I digress.

    It is concerning bc you know, I used to wonder how it was possible that something as horrible as Soviet union or communist china came to be as growing up it seemed like things could never happen in America or the west in general. It was a they problem. Now, I am not so sure as unfortunately, as many of the other responses here (just read through the thread and see syag’s exasperation at trying to get through) on the yeshiva world indicate, many people are still in a panic about covid and are running for their lives to the protective embrace of the mask mitzva cult.

    Just looked again and it could be i missed it but it seems that Moshe is not mentioned in Ekev, Re’eh, Shoftim and Ki Seitzei.

    But what I wrote earlier doesn’t work too good bc, וידבר ה’ אל משה לאמר is just used once at the beginning of תרומה. The rest is ועשית, this ועדות that.

    So that לכאורה diminishes the need for a וידבר משה at the beginning of תצוה.

    Unless you want to say the etzem beginning of a parshas, but that’s shver to say bc מהיכי תחתי that the parshiois hashavua imply an automotive disruption in עניין that requires a new וידבר.

    אדרבה, tetzaveh conceptually is just a continuation of ענייני משכן.

    Unless the need for ה’ to say ואתה or ואתה תצוה, i.e. the ציווי aspect implies some new thing.

    It’s probably the ואתה part of it as we never see this formulation used in the beginning of a דיבור. And here is is used three times in a row 2 at the beginning of a parsha and one in the middle.

    In any case it’s still not קלאר.

    Thank you RE for these beautiful divrei Torah.

    Re the kashya from nitzovim.

    What about breishis-shmos.

    אלא מאי, it wasn’t shayyach to say Moshe bc he wasn’t part of the story. So too, parshas nitzovim is just a continuation of moshes speech to klal Yisroel and there was simply no reason to mention his his name.

    The whole kashya from tetzaveh לכאורה, is bc it is a bunch of commands from Hashem to Moshe – no diff than Terumah, and plutzling and on contradistinction no more וידבר ה’ אל משה לאמר.

    Just a strange transition to אתה תצוה. And ועשית this and ועשית that.

    Always keep it as simple as possible.

    GH. The names we use for months come from בבל. And are first found in דניאל. Also in מגילת אסתר it says בחודש שנים עשר הוא חודש אדר. I think it mentions החדש העשירי הוא חודש טבת as well and בחודש הראשון הוא חדש ניסן.

    Yserbiis. By stating the problems associated with either ‘ruling’ over Arabs in west bank (something which Israel doesn’t really do right now anyway) and the problems associated with absorbing said Arabs into Israel proper otoh; and not mentioning any problems associated with giving them their own state oto ( I might have read you wrong but it seems you are pushing that) it seems you think that there are no problems associated with giving them their own state.

    Have you learned anything from the Gaza withdrawal? You know most Jewish Israelis have. Which why there are 70ish right wing seats in the Knesset right now. And barring more Bennet/Lieberman/saar shenanigans or an expansion of the police state in Israel, the left will be out of power probably for good

    Why can’t you accept that there is no good solution? Actually there is but it takes a strong sense of self to do and Israelis don’t really have any sense of self which is why they are the least sovereign nation on earth whom the whole world tells them what to do every Monday and Tuesday and To a large extent they listen.

    I was not clear earlier – “the police doing nothing to stop the rioters and instead arresting and prosecuting Jews who tried to defend themselves against the rioters” –

    was referring to the events of may in eretz Yisroel which to me were a real sea change, bc I never thought the medina would mamesh be mafkir citizens who live in lod, akko, yaffo and anywhere else Arabs live – which is almost everywhere.

    This does not mean one should NOT move to ey, just don’t do it for security reasons bc at the moment I would say ey is less safe for Jews than anywhere else- b’derech hateva of course.

    In contrast, De’vayle – from what I can tell Jews are still basically safe in America as well as other western European countries.

    However, if you live in a neighborhood tzumished with certain ethnic groups, there is no way of knowing when the hatred those people have for us will explode and if the trend of defund/disrespect/ambush/hunt down the police continues etc. another round of george Floyd type riots might get pretty hairy.

    Moreover, So long as the iljlhan Omar/tlaaaab/aoc’s don’t attain too much power American Jewry is fine. It is once they start really calling the shots that you need to really pay attention.

    (A large scale right wing reaction to left wing excess that blames the Jews – not wo basis, I might add- is also a possibility, but rather vyte, and not really on the radar at the moment)

    This hasnt happened yet. And there is no of knowing what the future holds. Most German Jews and Kal v’chomer eastern European Jews did not think that yimach shmo would do or be able to do what he said he would do. And indeed there was a good number of years even after he came to power before it was too late.

    The lesson from that is, once the reshoim gain power, that is the time to fear the future.

    Like I said, this hasnt happened yet but to my shikul hadaas the current trajectory is not good and needs to change but the danger zone is still somewhat of a ways off if it doesn’t. Radical political change in a country like america will b’pashtus not come over night and will be easily recognizable before it does.

    B’kitzur, definitely not a time to panic, but more vigilance than in the past is indeed warranted bc if indeed the tlaaaaabs of the world take over america will become a different place altogether.

    AAQ.

    Firstly, I believe that lend lease was mainly an anglo thing. Not tonsure the us aided the Slavs.

    But assume for a sec they did; this aid had nothing to do was pearl harbor. America was isolationist bit only insofar as sending troops. Not vis a vis aid.

    The point remains that Russia would probably have destroyed the German army and conquered Germany wo any american boots on the ground.

    Zog ich, the main reason the Americans and English launched D-Day etc. was not to stop the Germans but to prevent communism from conquering Europe.

    Ariel Sharon stated in an interview that I read (I forget where but – definitely not a ‘yeshiva world’ type publication) that the state knew that a huge chunk of the USSR olim were not Jewish and it was sof maaseh bmachshava techila as the actual reason for the Russian Aliya of the early 90’s was in order to halt or at least stall the religious demographic takeover that was certain to change the nature of state of Israel. To bring over actual cossacks into Israel like liberman et Al was a way of regaining the control over the state they were quickly losing in the aftermath of the Begin years.

    It is only fitting that the elements of the state which only wishes to dilute and mute Jewish identity would go on to make people who were brought to Israel to suppress Jewishness would be declared the actual Jews.

    The halakhic discussions are beside the point. The whole point of these conversions, halakhic or not, is the dejudaizing of the state. It is unfortunate that many elements of dati Jews ascribe infallibility to the state like old school Catholics to the pope. And completely justify anything the state does. We should only be as subservient to Hashem as they are to there avoda Zara.

    Py – there is a difference between tora umadda and tora and parnossa.

    There is an issur in shulchan aruch quite clearly stated against secular studies for their own sake. Torah uMadda flies in the face of this.

    Tora uParnossa – I e. The chiyyuv to teach your children a trade is a different matter altogether.

    The issues of apikursus and licentiousness that are rampant in any college atmosphere need to be dealt with even vis a vis parnosso. But for instance in ey one goes to college and just learns his trade. My son for example, recieved an excellent education in a high tech field wo having waste his time studying narishkeit. Unfortunately in America that is not an option for many fields.

    Also, why are we only open to college. Their are plenty of decent careers in fields that one can go to vocational school for.

    I’m not certain that wo american entrance into WW2 the Germans would have lost.

    The fact is that after Stalingrad the Russians never stopped pushing the Germans back to Germany. This was done wo too much american help.

    By the time americans landed at Normandy Russians has already driven the Germans pretty far back and the end was clear.

    This is not a criticism of the Americans bc the bombing campaigns that preceded D-Day were crucial to ensure a safe passage across the channel. I.e. if the Luftwaffe had air superiority or even been a nuisance the crossing would not have been possible. It took two years to prepare the way, so to speak.

    The point is, the Russians were essentially fighting the Germans alone for 2.5 more years and winning on their own wo american help.

    One can even make the argument that allies invaded France not so much to free Western Europe but rather to prevent the Russians from conquering western Europe (a legitimate goal in and of itself)

    Unless you taanah that the bombing campaigns disrupt German production so much that it affected the German war effort against the Russians. Is that true? Was that a goal of the bombing campaign?

    R’E – it must be noted that R Waldenberg does not subscribe at all to the wanton scorn for human life so prevalent amongst the abortion fanatics. He is only mattir in circumstances where the baby is going to suffer terribly due to disease r”l or the family will not be able to cope with a down syndrome baby or something to that effect. There is nothing in his teshuvos that remotely resembles that recklessness that people treat human life with bc of a hampering of a career decision etc. There is no zeicher in his psak of the rishus ‘a woman’s right to choose’. He is only mattir in very specific circumstances where the woman or rather family, will find it impossible to cope. (R Moshe argues even there).

    You should frame the machlokes more clearly and not leave the false impression that the is a zeicher in halocho to the rishus called a woman’s right to choose. It simply doesn’t exist.

    Avira – if tzitz eliezer is to modernish for you how about r Moshe shternbuch of the Aydoo charaydis. He is mattir when a woman’s mental health could be compromised ad kdai kach r”l that she would consider suicide.

    I’m gonna assume the mi k’amcha reaction to this news is sarcastic. Cause otherwise it betrays a really warped sense of what amcha yisroel is about.

    Avira, I actually am abhorred personally by the concept of abortion after the child has self awareness and can feel pain – at whenever point that is.

    That being said, if a major halachik posek has a shita which has not been shown to be a ta’us, it becomes very difficult to argue from halocho that something is clear cut assur. As great as r midge was, we simply don’t pasken based on my rov is greater than yours. If someone in shomayin is going to rely on the tzitz eliezer – so long that he is not rabbi shopping my bet is he is in good standing.

    What seems to me more relevant here is under what circumstances the tzitz eliezer was mattir and if any comparison can be made btwn his heter and the agenda if the crazies on the left who see zero moral problem w abortion whatsoever.

    Remember, the tzitz eliezer was living in a time when even the left was advocating (at least publicly…) that abortions should be legal and rare.

    Jack, stop being a hypocrite. If you were being attacked by someone and you felt your life was in danger you like any other person would see defend yourself anyway you could.

    The only serious actual racists today are the racists promoting crt.

    They want blacks to remain outside the American body politic and stuck in inner city wastelands and to do that they promote the feeling of victimhood despair and anger against whites to ensure that blacks never even attampt to better their situation.

    Happy to oblige. It is known that being a לץ יושב קרנות and עאכו”כ a כסיל and can be depressing and need reinforcement for that עבודה סיזיפית.

    So whenever being a לץ is not supplying the goods of התנשאות I’m here to tell you not to give up because
    Klal yisroel desperately needs your cynicism

    A country that needs to be saved from a fifth election by a tembel who in addition to being a clown tries and might succeed to become pm with 5% of the vote and has many people (who just yesterday were saying the same guy is an evil occupier etc. ) now supporting his insane Gambit is a joke. Politically.

    The ibberchochom disease which plagues Israel has turned it into a joke

    I disagree.

    Yes Bibi is a thoroughly flawed individual.

    But the unbridled hatred against Bibi is really just hatred against the direction he is taking the country, Namely, direction towards taking pride in the Jewish identity and believing at least somewhat that Jews have a right to defend themselves.

    So,

    A. Currently there is no leader on the right who can fill bibi’s shoes. That doesn’t mean Bibi is anything more than what he is. But can you honestly see anyone representing Israel better vis a vis ruthless world leaders than Bibi?

    I personally think Not Barkat has a future. He is currently the only politician who one can of as replacement to Bibi wo vomiting. He seems to be the only politician in Israel whose only concern is not me myself and I. (Maybe that’s why he actually has NO future 😑…) But he is still not ripe yet. Maybe that is indeed Bibis fault. But so what. The fact remains he has not done enough to get the breite pleitzes a manhig needs.

    So that is number one. Any replacement from Bibi is a giant chute to fall down from actual leadership.

    And maybe more importantly B:

    Backstabbing Bibi even to maintain right wing rule would be a huge victory for the antiJewish left. It would make it utterly impossible for the right to govern long term in the future. Bc the left now sees that anytime an effective right wing leader comes along all they have to do is attack him personally, turn him into a bogeyman and all the very self smart but easily brainwashable numbskulls will be chanting orange man or crime minister man bad in a jiffy. And since on ‘the right’ no one has a spine, they will just capitulate to the zombie mob.

    So as tempting as it is to replace Bibi and maintain right wing rule it would by a pyhrric victory whose ultimate end מי ישורנו.

    It is actually quite amazing that the imbeciles of the likud had stuck w Bibi to date.

    Since they are imbeciles and one could never accuse them of having the good of the country at heart, it must be bc they know that their own power is out the door as soon as a בריה like Bibi is gone.

    So not b’kitzur, as Churchill said: you have a choice btwn war and dishonor.

    To choose dishonor by backstabbing the best prime minister Israel has had will only unleash a worse war that what you would have had had you chosen it in the first place.

    Zsk,

    So the bottom line I guess of your הערות is that believing oneself is ראוי to be prime minister with 5% of the vote is acceptable.

    What people will say to justify inanity is remarkable.

    People like yourself are why politicians don’t think the public is stupid enough to be told any lie and accept any behavior.

    The emperor wears no clothes and all the ‘smart’ people concoct cockamamie theories as to how brilliant the emperor looks

    It’s been a year since I’ve looked at the coffee room. And the coffee being served is still shtiebel coffee.

    Maybe one day you’ll love up to Red Mug or Barzilai.

    made Aliya Always and syag. Valiant efforts. I couldn’t put up with the narishkeit that these leitzim keep vomiting. At some point you say genug shoin, like Moshe Rabbeinu in last week’s parsha. How indeed does one deal with complete kshe orefkeit and general imbecility? honestly I do not know .

    But I guess someone has too otherwise there is only the shekker voice being heard.

    So thank you for doing this thankless job.

    Remember: Yosef haTzaddik, Moshe Rabbeinu Dovid haMelech were all extremely unpopular during their lifetimes. So we’re the Neviim. Yeshaya was even killed. And I’m sure menashe had nomesora arguments justifying his actions.

    So don’t feel bad just bc you can’t win. You are in good company.
