Similarly, Rav Dovid Cohen shlita (who is relatively very young, not even being 70).
That has not kept many a gadol from being acknowledged as such.
(Thanks for editing my previous post instead of deleting it, anonymous mod.)
“Base 10” means that the number system counts in 10s. After 10, you use 11,
which is “10 plus 1 more,” and then you get to 100, which is “ten 10s,” etc.Such accusations against many people are only coming out now,
and it is common for them to be withheld for long periods of time.What’s your source for the idea that Moshiach will come this week?
Speaking of Dr. Pepper, his contact info is no longer on his profile,
due to the loss of all profiles during the “stuffed cabbage” period.Yes, it was Rabi Akiva Eiger. (In that story, it might have been because
a pasuk was used in a joking way, while “menorah” is simply a word.
A version of the story can be found by Googling [mikedem eiger] – it’s
in the second result, and it’s on the page numbered 228 – it’s a Camp
Agudah thing including the chapter on Camp Agudah in They Called Him Mike.)(Because Aish will have posted more JTube since the earlier posts,
the directions are now incorrect.)Why the recent (sort of) account change?
You don’t always have the time or energy to walk.
I accidentally the presents.
I’ve decided to start a separate thread for that purpose.
Joseph, what do you have to say about him publicly stating
that he did not receive a salary from his charity while he
actually did receive a considerable salary from it, a fact he
did not feel the need to report to the IRS?
(Also, harassing and dating are not the same thing.)Can we all agree that neither party being in physical discomfort
makes for a better dating experience for both of them?We use base 10 because Hashem’s language, Lashon haKodesh,
is in base 10, andEdited
It’s probably lighter than what you’re looking for, but it hasn’t been mentioned yet – <Questions of Interest by Rabbi Yisroel P. Gornish (C.I.S. Publishers, 1993).
The previous Gadol Hador names the [next] Gadol Hador in his will
Where did he get that idea?
What about Lesschumras?
Surely Moshiach will be > 9000?
Being confident that he will eventually come.
Believing that he can come at any time.
Wanting him to come as soon as possible.
All of the above sound like good things. Believing that
he will come within a week… that doesn’t sound right.Who wants to play the cooperative 2-player variant of Codenames tomorrow?
(I don’t have the game with me right now.) I mean it -, you don’t need anything on
your end but the CR.Bamidbar 14:18 ”but visiting the iniquity of fathers upon children, upon the third and fourth generations.“
That posuk refers to when those descendants repeat their forebears’ sins.
Quoting the Chafetz Chayim: To those who believe there are no questions;
to those who don’t there are no answers.Great. All you have to do now is make him a believer.
I’ve heard of a similar concept regarding the Eigel.
Arkham’s Razor:
The craziest solution to a problem is probably the correct one.If you enter this topic’s URL in your browser,
but leave out the last 3 digits, you still get here.In The River, the Kettle and The Bird, Rav Aharon Feldman
quotes the Vilna Gaon as saying (commentary on Shir haShirim 5:2)
that there are 4 basic causes of love – we love someone who 1) gives us
physical pleasure, 2) assists us in accomplishing our goals, or 3) in whom
we recognize noble qualities of character. 4) We may also love someone
for no conscious reason other than that we sense that they love us.“According to the Vilna Gaon, marriage has not arrived at its ultimate purpose
until husband and wife create an emotional bond between them strong
enough to make them feel that they are two parts of a single organism.”
-Rav Aharon Feldman in his The River, the Kettle and The Bird –
he gives the source as the GRA’s commentary on Mishlei 9:10.Life is short. Eternity isn’t.

-seen on the Internet(Failure to properly close markup strikes me again – only
the first, quoted, paragraph was meant to be italicized.)Oops – look like I took that post the wrong way. If we treat my post
as though it ended at “host country,” it still basically works out.The question is an expression of one of the most
well-known problems in religious philosophy.People suffer to cleanse them of their sins. They have sinned because
they broke Hashem’s laws which Hashem put out in the beginning.Children suffer, too. (So you’ll answer that they
must be a gilgul, but how do you know that?)
And we certainly see people who appear to us to have sinned
more seemingly suffering less than people who appear to have
sinned less do. It’s a hard answer for some people to accept.According to Wikipedia, one of the three theses presented in Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Kalisher’s
Derishat Zion was the “admissibility of the observance of sacrifices in Jerusalem at the present day.”
Gaon, can you inform us as to whether that was a discussion of the issue or a presentation of the idea that it was indeed permissible?(The markup for italics here is “em” rather than “i.”)
It gives people a place to troll where the possible ramifications
of said action are less severe than they might be in real life.And here I thought this was going to be about the magazine.
APY – It means that they didn’t use names that came from
(or were in the fashion of, I guess?) their host country, not
that they only used names already used by their ancestors.I think “weaker trait” is a genetics term (it doesn’t
mean that those who have that trait are weaker).What would the point of a scam food pantry be?
Actual hair has a din of ervah – wigs do not.
Good stuff. 🙂
