I don’t think the saying means that if you’re miserable in your
situation, you’re likely to try to get others into it as well.
“Footsteps does not get people further away from Yiddishkeit” is a
statement I cannot make. But anyone who comes into contact with them
does so because they want to leave the community, or think they might
want to. (Also, isn’t any OTD person likely to encourage others who
are considering leaving, if they are happy with their own decision?)
Whatever excesses the early chassidim may have been guilty of, the movement was started by a tzaddik, and to lead to its members being better Orthodox Jews, not to be separate from Orthodox Jewry.
???
DaasYochid, do you think there’s anyone in that organization whose job is to convince people to give up their beliefs or practices? They want to give people the ability to do whatever they choose to (which is why they have kosher food – in case someone wants that). This might involve convincing people that they are able to give them up, but not that they should.
Tell me you’re just trolling
…and I just might believe you.
I think what buyers hate is that the amount needed to spend in order to get free shipping keeps on going up.
If you only knew how much they lose annually on free shipping…
I Googled “eruv rav.”
995 results, and “Did you mean: ‘erev rav’ ,” which gets 52,600 results.
Hopefully it will do for OO what the Mitnagdim did for the Chassidim (“Mekor Baruch” in the name of the Tzemach Tzedek).
That comparison sounds highly insulting to the Chassidim.
Marriage therapy does not address a medical or psychological issue but a relationship between 2 people, and not a specific issue but a general one.
It cannot be compared to conversion therapy.
Mods, please don’t let the thread be hijacked.
Forgot to say – you’d need a smartphone and the
app would have to be able to access the Internet.
I think that’s a recommendation rather than a review, Joseph.
Want to try some designer board/card games with me?
The boys must have been playing it last summer (the game that its based off of).
I’m pretty sure the game didn’t exist last summer (and no other
game in the series requires you to go around outside). It is possible that they were playing “Ingress,” another game which did require you to go outside, and whose list of locations was actually re-used for Pokemon Go.
Did you know the Chofetz Chaim would learn by candlelight and refused to learn by electric light
Source? (Or is this a well-known thing I’d never heard of?
Of course the bans helped. Just because some people violate them doesn’t mean it didn’t help the very many people who adhere to them.
The real question is whether a formal ban was necessary to
get the people who obey the ban not to have whatever it is.
In case you didn’t know, the internet is kulo tamey!
… Something kadosh will not go on something tamey.
Unless you’re calling all the Torah currently on the Internet
“not something kadosh,” I’d say you’re demonstrably wrong.

He spoke the line, but the film was written

The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead. -Benjamin Franklin
My first instinct was “No way,” but it turns out old Ben really
did write “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead”
in Poor Richard’s Almanack.
…staying up Shovu’os nite, and praying @Daybreak come Shovu’os morning, there is a tremendous unresolved sofek laHalocho if you can make a Benediction on your Tallis Kotton, which has been on you all Shovu’os nite. … By wearing a Talis Godol, you evade & avoid this entire issue, and can peacefully bless over it, without any compunctions whatsoever…
He could also take it off before morning or put on a different pair.
I bought a new platter to use in my home for Shabbos. However, this coming Shabbos, I’m invited away for all meals and won’t have the opportunity to use it. Is it disrespectful to the coming Shabbos that I’m skipping it in favor of the next one, or is it all fine and well?
You mean, should you wait until after this Shabbos (when you
will not have the opportunity to use the item) to buy it?
I don’t think so, but you could ask a rav.
(As for whether you would say “l’kavod Shabbos” when making the purchase, I’m not confident you would say it even for this Shabbos.)
Brochos, Baruch Sheomar, Ashrei, Yishtabach, Entire Shema section, Shemoneh Esrei and that’s it. You are done. Should take 8-10 minutes.
Shudder.

the average person… can’t read Hebrew without menukad
Which average are we talking about here?
(Aren’t very few seforim menukad ?)
A woman can dress as a very tzniusdik man and vice versa.
I’m pretty sure men are not allowed to dress
as women, no matter how tniyusdik the clothing is,
and the same goes for women.
HI!!!
Welcome back. 🙂
I’ve also heard of that Rabbi who mocked and said “l’chvoid my boich”.
I don’t believe that was ever anyone’s intention. As I understood
that story, it was meant to tell other people that they should not
think the Rebbe is on the level of doing things for the sake of
Shabbos and not the sake of his own gratification. (Or, in a sharper interpretation, to teach that just because one says
“l’kavod Shabbos” does not mean his motives are pure, and perhaps
a different declaration would be in order for honesty’s sake –
there is also a story of the Sfas Emes telling a grandson that
it is enough to think “l’kavod Shabbos” – it need not be spoken.)
the phone number of the Lakewood Bais Horaah (732-905-9992)
When I tried to post their number in another thread, it was rejected.

But hey, at least I now know what “patronymic” means, and
have no idea what you meant by “my patronymic Hebrew name.”
People have a choice how to use technology. Just because you are able to send mass messages/videos/pictures does not mean you have to.
But if you are able to receive them, then you do have
to receive whatever other people decide to send you.

I didn’t say “someone who was killed in the Holocaust,”
I said “someone who was killed because he was a Jew.”
(It’s always good to hear from Rabbi Lopiansky, though.)
The joys of life can be found anywhere.
Far places only offer exotic ways to suffer.

Others sleep and dream, but I dream, and sleep not.
-Rav Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman (the Ponevezher Rav)
When a new is killed by a Muslim in Israel R”L he is murdered because he is Jewish and muslims believe that they have a commandment to kill jews. Now is that not called a yid who was niftar al kiddush Hashem?
6 million Jews were killed in the holocaust R”L by the Nazi’s because they were Jews. And not because they wanted their homes or some other reason. Each precious yid murdered al kiddish Hashem
Please post a source for this concept that someone who was
killed because he was a Jew was niftar al Kiddush Hashem (and please read the 5th perek of Rambam’s Hilchos Yesodei Hatorah first.)
Perhaps you can first show me a source that someone who was killed
by a terrorist was niftar al Kiddush haShem. (There’s probably a
thread – or 10 – about that already, so feel free to just link.)
Oy oy oy yakni vuh hoy!
No one we know of so far, but there does seem
to be some peculiarity here. I’m not saying that
he’s right, only that he’s not being totally absurd.
Well, does your device have kedushas sefer?
Kitniyos are harvested and processed in the same way that chametz is.
We don’t hold like him, but the Chayei Adam wrote that
potatoes are kitniyos – evidently, he didn’t think so.
He’s asked about attending tishen.
A farbrengen is not a tish.
family planning, which i never before had heard a frum yid suggest
I heard it mentioned as being practiced, if not necessarily suggested,
due to tuition – the conversation was mostly about children who are
in public school because their parents can’t afford tuition… 🙁

(WHY DIDN’T THE MODS SAY SOMETHING?)
I’d suggest calling Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen for advice.
You can find his number by Googling [simcha bunim cohen lakewood].
[Wonders how many posts in this thread have gone unapproved.]
Chabad doesn’t have tishen.
He might not be reading this thread anymore, so
maybe you should post it in his most recent one.
(If we assume he would thank you, he certainly hasn’t seen your post.)
Putting “but” after instead of before the phrase it applies to,
e.g., “I went to the store, they didn’t have any eggs but.”
Using “crop” as though it meant altering an image,
e.g., “Stand 2 feet apart, and we’ll crop her in.”
Saying that anything is “beast.”
