Happy new year

@n0mesorah
You assume the answer to weather we should rebuild the Mikdash if we could is a resounding NO?
about 100 years ago, there were Jews in America who thought that we shouldn’t be keeping shabbos nowadays even if it could be possible.
How can you CANCEL 50% of the Torah, just because?????
If we are Anus (hands tied), ok. But stam????

Don’t keep shabbos cuz it’s a chillul hashem

As n0mesorah mentioned, there is a difference between “from Hashem” and “Torah = LAW”

The Torah, the LAW – and, of course, the discussion of how to get to the law, is Yahadus.

I would say, that even reading the story of the Mabul or Yosef and his brothers doesn’t qualify as “Limud haTora”, which is a very specific classification. (as i quoted above…., vshinantam lvanecha vdibarta bam….. “ki im bToras H’ cheftzo uvToraso yeegeh yomam vlalyla” and “vhagisa bo yomam vlayla”)

“Ki al pi hasvarim ha’eleh karati itcha bris v’es Yisrael”, and many other psukim say beferush this concept. The entire Bris is the Torah, nothing else. Furthermore, the other Nevi’im have no right to give us any laws, = meaning they are not Torah AT ALL!
Only that Moshe said there would be a place Hashem would choose to rest His Name and that we should put over us a king from whom Hashem will choose, so we need the Nevi’im for that.

Of course, it’s important, just like Agada and Mussar etc…

Right after the churban, they tried rebuilding. (“Be happy you were in the mouth of the lion and lived”)
Then again a major rebellion by Bar Cochba, they were expelled from Judea.
And expelled from Israel entirely 200 years later.
in 470, An Italian group tried coming but got drowned.
In 500’s, under Julian the apostate, they were very close, until he was assassinated by the Christians.
In 609, the son of the Resh Galusa, came with 30,000 Jewish soldiers fighting in Persian army against Constantinople.
They were promised everything by the Persians.
They conquered Jerusalem and started building, only to be double crossed by the king.
After that, we were scattered to the west, and the land lay barren and empty with no hope.
Jews from France came with crusaders in 1100’s, only to find out they lost Jerusalem, and settled in Aco

The “mizbeach” thing, is an outright excuse.
We would never say that in any other area of Halacha.
It’s only because you don’t want it.
Stop focusing on so many things that have nothing to do with yahadus, and focus on re-establishing more than HALF of the Torah to it’s proper place.
If you want it, you’ll figure out a way.
There is no reason why we can’t know where the mizbeach should go
There’s a 3 way machlokes tanaaim where it should go, so we should pasken like one of them.
And according to R Yehuda, the whole azarah is kosher.

Also, there is something called Halacha for a reason.
You don’t need Eliyahu for that.
Building the Mikdash is like any other mitzvah and chiyuv.
Lo bashamayim hi lemor mi yaaleh lanu hashamayma…..

Throughout history, our ancestors always tried building it.
There were dozens of times when we came very close, to varying degrees.
People who say we can’t, are kofrim.
Maybe we don’t know how to keep shabbos either until Eliyahu comes? Etc…..

Study Torah and Halacha, and we’ll know how.
The earlier generations NEVER said: we dont how to do it.
They tried and failed. Ones rachmana patrei….
We must try and succeed!

Well, if you never learn more than 3 blatt of 7 random masechtos, how will you ever know anything about yiddishkeit?
The way to have a yearning for the Geulah, is by studying ALL of Torah. Then you will see that half of the Mitzvos cannot be fulfilled and you will have not just a yearning, but a fiery zeal for the Geulah.

Why is it that people who try to build the Beis Hamikdash are called extremists by the FRUM YESHIVISH velt??
And those that study the entire Torah, to keep it, are called baalehbatim??

The Torah is REAL, not some joke

How could you say “there are no consequences to the vaccine”, when it’s only been 2 years and many consequences have ALREADY been seen?
Just saying….
It could years to see more widespread serious consequences

First of all, you’re off by 1000 years – you probably meant 2460.
Second, jews today there are Sphardic, not native Antochians. The natives were killed / expelled by the Christians in the late 300’s. They mostly moved further west (Italy etc..) where the persecution of the church was less. The expelled Byzantine jews founded / joined early European communities. They wrote the Yotzros / Piyutim that Ashkenazim use to this day.

ok – hineni

Rashi in Parshas Toldos says the field which Hashem blessed (meaning Gan Eden) is the “Apple Field”.
Meaning, the field is of Apples, but the Tree itself was clearly not, according to Chazal. (Fig, Grape, Esrog, Wheat). The Zohar (first meal of Shabbos) calls it “Chaqal Tapuchin Qadishin” – Holy Apple Field

The Software Course is very good, great professors.
Really prepared me for my very lucrative career.
In 1 1/2 years, you get more than the goyim get in 4 years.
If you’re able to keep cheshbon, it’s really kdai.
The zoom is even better than in person, in my opinion.
Amount is a lot less than any other college, that’s for sure.
i owe these ppl my life!

The reason we dont say Tachanun by Ma’ariv – is for the “meorer dinim” reason – no source in Halacha.
Originally, Tachanun was the MAIN part of Davening – as explicit in Daniel – literally falling on the floor 3 times a day. But, because of the “meorer dinim” reason, we dont fall on the floor (the sphardim dont fall at all – the ashkenazim fall on the table – but not on the floor anymore – which is the real Halacha)
All this is because of “meorer dinim” reason.
Most Chassidim in LKWD are VERY makpid to say Tachanun, with 13 Midos, every day Shachris and Mincha – even after Shkiya.
But, i guess, fpr some since the minhag ashkenaz is to fall on the table, they extend the “meorer dinim” reason even more.

BUT EVERYONE TODAY HOLDS OF THE “meorer dinim” reason – IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER – AGAINST HALACHA!

DUMBEST POLL YET!!
Well, if you use a topic that Repiublicans are sympathetic to, like Ye, who is a right wing conservative, and Trump – whaddaya expect?? Novelty, Please??

Why dont you make a poll about many other topics that Demonrats are more sensitive too and the results will LITTERALLY be the EXACT OPPOSSITE

it represents the Human power of desire, which will eventually take over logic. Like many things, a lie is repeated often enough until it becomes true.
let’s face it. people WANT to be jewish, but they dont want to actually work for it.
This has been the CORE principal behind ALL anti-Jewish philosophies of ALL time.
Ppl can’t take the fact the Jews have a covenant with G-d, but instead of following the law and becoming part of the covenant, it’s too hard, so they decide instead to deny that anyone has this covenant. THIS, and ONLY this, has been the sole reason for Paul founding christianity in the first place.
The Ancient Greeks, if you read Apion, hated the jew for the same reason, so they said the jews are a made up ppl, with no real history. Josephus wrote an entire book, Contra Apion, to defend the jewish history of the Bible. Eventually, reality started sinking in, and if not for Paul, EVERYONE would have become jewish.

“if you can’t join ’em, beat ’em!!”

PEOPLE WANNA FEEL GOOD, WITHOUT WORKING FOR IT!!

The Sphardim were never Meikil, that’s just a modern lie. Ya, if they are not frum, of course there are gonna be more lenient, right? The real frum Sphardim are the most strict of all communities

@Yabia Omer:
What is ‘obvious’ to you, is actually not true.
The European Communities come straight from the Roman (and later Christian) Exile.
Direct Mesorah from the Yerushalmi Talmud.
ALL of Eretz Yisrael, Egypt, Syria and Turkey, Greece and Rome Jewish Communities of 2nd temple were ALL Ashkenaz (European) Jews. There were NO Sphardim at all until about 1300 years ago.
Shimon Hatzadik was the first Ashkenazi Jew.
Besides that, the Spanish and Portuguese almost ALL moved to Europe (those that left Iberia), over the centuries after the expulsion – to the point that almost no spanish jews remained Sphardi – they almost all became European Ashkenazi. Most of the Ottaman Jews in the 1600’s and 1700’s moved to south eastern Europe – think Hungary, Romania, Chechya, Slovakia, Austria.
The Ottamans surrounded Vienna in 1683. Most Ashkenazim today are heavily sphardi. The entire jewish community of Vienna in 1718 was Ottaman.
There are very few sphardim left

@ujm
look it up Yevamos(90b), i beleive.
i said it wasnt tznius….

@ aviraDar’a and his camp:
The talmud (Yevamos 90) says about the Chashmonaim (Maccabees), that they would kill jews left and right for even committing Drabanans on Shobbas, and for committing Non-Tznuis PERMITTED acts. There is a concept of Hora’s sha’a, that goes above the basic law of due process.
There were MANY times in history when we killed ppl against halacha because the situation called for it.
i know the zionists like the “Maccabees”, but according to chazal and all historians, they were fanatic jihadi terrorist murderers who were much worse than Yishai Shlissel.
it’s not so pashut. “Hora’as Sha’a shani”. its pretty scary actually……..

like any other yiush baalim

@rav kaufman
first of all yannai was the son of the one who enslaved them (although according to abaye, yannai was yochanan, but it seems rava was right that yannai (yonasan) was the son of yochanan who enslaved them).
About him being Cohen Gadol, he was halachically pasul for kehuna because his mother was captured during the wars. This was the reason why Yochanan Cohen Gadol became a tzadoki after so many years (after finding out that the rabbis paseled his wife and kids). Yehuda Aristobulus, his first son, died after the first yom kippur, and then Yannai took over and spilled the water on his feet, got pelted by esrogim and crucified the rabbis. Eventually, he realized he was wrong and sold the kehuna gedolah to Martha bas baythus who gave it to her 2nd husband, Yehoshua ben gamla who restored Torah.

** – i actually have a perutah from Yannai which says on it in old hebrew “Yehonasan hakohen hagadol vchaver hayehudim”

Tosfos in yevamos 47b asks: how come he wasnt automatically freed as soon as he forcibly became king? since a freed slave becomes a jew, he should be kosher? Answer: the owners must have not given up hope, and assumed that perhaps his haughtiness would bring his downfall. Who were his owners, if all the Hasmoneans were all killed? Answer: every jew has inheritors, no matter how far back you have to go.

You guys are all a bunch of amaratzim.
The sun is actually CLOSER to us during the NORTHERN WINTER. How come NOBODY thought about the Southern half which is ALWAYS opposite of the north?? no one even mentioned it!!
Summer and Winter comes from the 23.5 degree tilt of Earth. When south is tilted toward the sun = southern summer and northern winter, and vice versa.
basic science, come on guys and gals.

How much does it cost?
