Wearing tzitziot outside for pride is like putting up a mezzuza as an amulet.
Putting up a mezuza as an amulet is an ulterior motive for performing the
mitzva (and that also sounds like it might fall into the debate of whether
a mitzva requires specific intention to fulfill a mitzva).
Wearing your tzitzis out to show that you are proud of doing the mitzva
is not a reason that replaces the reason that it’s a mitzva (and you also
intend to fulfill the mitzva by wearing tzitizis).Shouldn’t someone be bringing up a safek din vs. a safek in metzius?
The bet would probably have been up before it did, though. : )
And now there’s PegishaPlace. (I don’t think they list any board game cafes, though.)
Eli Y, what makes you think it is possible that Moshiach will not be a frum Jew?
That feeling when you’re not sure if the serious responses to an obvious
troll comment are just trying to troll you into saying what I’ve just said.I think Neville is right about having people start calling you a different name.
Someone’s written a book about this recently (I saw it advertised).
Sorry, I can’t remember the title/author/publisher.Is there a question as to whether this beer is actually this beer?
Is there any possibility that this beer was “not owned” at some point in time?As for the relevance of typos, when they make it so I can’t figure out what was
intended, I feel free to mention them. What do you think “lian” was meant to be?Manhigei Yisroel generally don’t respond on the CR. They’re usually accessible
to the public, though, so feel free to ask them and report back.No one responded with the appropriate Chazal quote? Shame on you. :p
If you are suggesting not seeing doctors due to bitachon, I understand, but not to
do screening tests unless there is a risk factor doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.I don’t think any legitimate authorities say that an ordinary sick person
should not see a doctor. I also don’t understand why not screening unless
there is a specific reason to doesn’t make sense to you.Have you tried contacting them directly?

1. *this* beer was 2. *owned* by a 3. *Jew* 4. *on Pesach*.
I’m probably “not a great mathematics lian” either –
maybe that’s why I don’t understand question #2 at all,
or why “this beer” is a question.Slow-acting poison can prevent sudden death from a certain point onward.
(Also, general safety precautions are known to lower the rate of sudden death.)“Horace and Aristotle told us of the virtues of their fathers, and the vices of
their own time, and authors down through the centuries have told us the same.
If they were right, men would now be bears.” -MontesquieuWhy did you start this thread?
The “evolution” in Pokemon is actually metamorphosis.
We learn mussar seforim as a way to improve our character.
Not necessarily – that is, simply learning from a sefer is generally not enough to
improve a person’s character (although learning b’hispa’alus might be?).
We might learn them to learn practical methods of improving ourselves,
to lift our attention from worldly thoughts to the subjects of mussar, etc.
(The bochur who asked a gadol, “How many times a zman should a
bochur finish Mesilas Yeshorim?” was laboring under an illusion.)Safety is a feeling that no bad things will happen. Security avoids things to happen
that you don’t want to. The police keep public safety, which stops crimes happen.
Safety hats protect the head from injury. Houses provide safety from the weather.

If I’m not mistaken, our kings had all 3 powers.
The Chashmona’im were punished for taking the throne despite not being
of the royal family. You’ll have to find another source to support that idea.Can there be an executive without a state?
(What did you mean by “legislative powers are from Sinai”
and by “involved laypersons?”)(I found it amusing that Wikipedia’s article on “separation of powers”
begins with “The separation of powers, often imprecisely and metonymically
used interchangeably with the trias politica principle,” and yet “trias politica”
on Wikipedia redirects to the article on separation of powers.”)The attribution to Abraham Lincoln of the famous P.T. Barnum quote
on the first page may have originated with a speech by Barack Obama.If I had to guess, I’d say it was being published by Agudas Bnei Torah of America.
If you’re curious enough, you can contact them and ask if that’s actually the case.Famous killers getting love letters has been a phenomenon for decades.
Sonic Duo’s ads now have a line reading something

(I realized that I might have made it sound as though
I’ve listened to the audio version, which I have not.)I haven’t read How Stupid Are We? Facing the Truth About the American Voter, but some

I could’ve sworn this thread used to be different…

“Hashem manages to get abusive, horrible people married.
I’m not sure how to interpret that statement.
You can also edit it in the Coffee Room word-box after pasting it.

There’s a chapter in “Inside Their Homes” on the Goral haGRA (which
predates the GRA, and it is unclear how it came to be called that).
The Goral is clearly acknowledged and used by gedolim (and is
more involved than opening a Tanach at random, HaLeiVi).
Reb Moshe in Igros Moshe O”CH 6:2 says something interesting. A woman according to the Rabbenu Taam can make a brocho on a time dependent mitzva, but not an eved because he does not have a
קדושת ישראל. It looks like a woman does but not as great as a man that is why she is exempt from time dependent commandments.Are you quoting Reb Moshe as saying that women have a lesser degree of
kedushas Yisroel, or are you saying that that is what appears to you
to be the case from what Reb Moshe wrote?as long that you want to create nachas ruach to Hashem with your service.
… The importance is not the means but the endNot when those means are contradictory to Hashem’s stated will.
