☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲Participant
I guess “The World That Was: Poland” wouldn’t be of much use to you.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantIf you’re doing it for the sake of exercise, “it’s Assur because of Refuah.”
If you’re doing it for enjoyment, “it’s a Kiyum in Oneg Shabbos.”
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantIf you realized that he meant to insult you,
then his attempt to be insulting was successful.
(As I understand it, the insult is the p’ulah of insulting,
not the chalos of the person’s being insulted.)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantDo you always check your email?
If not, please check it.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantPopa’s ostensibly under-appreciated joke appears to have been deleted.
(I only knew to put the dash in there because of the red line.)
February 14, 2016 11:47 pm at 11:47 pm in reply to: Why Doesn't YWN And Aish Report The Root Behind Jihad Terrorist Attacks #1137340☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantIf you compare the percentage of Germans who supported Hitler, Japanese who supported the emperor, and Muslims who support terrorism, you will see that we have a very very big problem.
Actually, the percentage of terror-approving Muslims is far
lower than that of Hitler-supporting Germans (and probably
emperor-supporting Japanese). (Yes, I have watched By the Numbers: The Untold Story of Muslim Opinions and Demographics.)
February 14, 2016 11:44 pm at 11:44 pm in reply to: Why Doesn't YWN And Aish Report The Root Behind Jihad Terrorist Attacks #1137339☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantSufi Islam, for example (the more mystical version), is beshita against violence and jihad. They interpret jihad to be a metaphoric
and spiritual battle.
Given the actions of Mohammed, it’s pretty easy to think they’re wrong.
February 14, 2016 11:39 pm at 11:39 pm in reply to: Can folks who celebrate Valentine's Day be counted for a minyan? #1139357☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲Participant(There’s no “Saint Hallow.” The closest names are All Hallows’ Eve and
All Saints’ Eve, or, for the day, All Saints’ Day and All Hallows.)
February 14, 2016 11:33 pm at 11:33 pm in reply to: Can folks who celebrate Valentine's Day be counted for a minyan? #1139356☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantSo what, Lefty? (This is about frum Jews celebrating the day.)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲Participant(February) 2 b’Shvat.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantTzedaka is a matter of kodesh, and raffles are apparently
not considered gambling in halocho, or they wouldn’t be allowed.
The issue is with a shul hosting a Super Bowl party,
regardless of where it takes place.
February 14, 2016 11:20 pm at 11:20 pm in reply to: Gut chodesh! Are we supposed to be marbeh b'simchah now? #1137279☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantIt’s a nice vort, but if you take that as the definition of simcha
for this statement, it’s hard to understand decreasing simcha in Av
(which presumably uses the same definition as the Adar increase).
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantIf you get that message, your post did not go into
the system at all. Unless you post it again, even
the mods will never see it.
February 11, 2016 6:00 pm at 6:00 pm in reply to: Why Doesn't YWN And Aish Report The Root Behind Jihad Terrorist Attacks #1137328☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantHere’s a cookie. Now explain all the people who claim to believe
in the same book, but do not commit terrorist attacks…
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantSong 3 – “Somebody Else”
Song 4 – “Protocols”
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWelcome back, anIsraeliYid.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantArtist – Rav Shmuel (Rabbi Shmuel Skaist)
Song 1 – “Something Significant”
Song 2 – “Science”
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲Participant(I think this is the 500th post in this thread.)
Songs 3 and 4 were rejected (or at least,
the lyrics from them that I selected were).
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantI’m on a roll… (A jelly roll?)
(And no, getting the “Slow down” message does
not mean that your post has been rejected.)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWelcome back, assurnet.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantN.B. “Right” and “Left” refer to which side of the French parliament deputies sat during the Revolutionary period, which was BEFORE Jews were allowed to vote or hold political office.
Also, you shouldn’t use those words that way if your country
didn’t have a central government at that time. Those words
cannot be applied to the people of your country.
(RebYidd23, do I have your approval?)

☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWelcome back, Moshe1994, Matan1, ghj613, and thebestofthebest.
(If you see this, check your thread, Best.)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantYou didn’t get the joke.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantMore stuff for the fans:
“Oorah Prank Prize Rap” and “What Not to Say to an Off the Derech Kid” (which seems to be outtakes from a scene of the suppressed
“How to Go Off the Derech.”)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWelcome back, mordern, kollelman, jewish source, chatzkal, outreach613, dnetsk, the one capitalizer Burnt Steak, and everyone in all the serious-looking topics I often don’t bother reading
(sometimes, they’re not actually serious – see the InShidduchim thread).
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantRegarding the Super Bowl and Jews, I liked R’ Dovid Hofstedter’s
guest column in Mishpacha magazine about two weeks ago.
The shul I daven at hosts a superbowl party.
Let’s be dan l’kaf z’chus and assume their intention is to prevent
people from watching the commercials and halftime show, or maybe
from attending parties with mixed company. After all, a shul is an
institution for matters of kodesh, and the Super Bowl is no such thing.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantNice one, Avram. :>
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantDoes anyone here have any experience with Amazon River?
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantI had assumed as much.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantYes, it’s him.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWelcome back, bekitzur.

January 27, 2016 3:11 am at 3:11 am in reply to: NeutiquamErro's favorite thread with an obscure title #1147688☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantReally, mods…
Dumbledore tells the students that Cedric Diggory “was murdered
by Lord Voldemort,” but he wasn’t. It was Wormtail who murdered
Cedric, after being told by Voldemort to “kill the spare.”
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantLet me fix that for you:
Sorry – a great piece of cardboard
January 27, 2016 2:56 am at 2:56 am in reply to: A lion rampant gules and bars argent on a field rouge #1133771☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲Participantgules
?yo?olz/
noun
noun: gules
red, as a heraldic tincture.
(And I had assumed it meant gold, i.e. yellow.)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantTechnical21 was originally technical20.

☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantTechnical21 – yes.
“Let me explain something to you. There is a concept of
daas Torah. What is daas Torah? It is a sort of ruach hakodesh
that exists today. When a person sits and learns, when he
immerses himself completely in Torah, then when he is asked a
question, he isn’t the one answering it – it’s the Torah within
him that’s answering. Today I’m old and constantly falling asleep
over the Gemara. I’m not immersed in learning all the time.
But your father [Rav Chaim Kanievsky] is constantly immersed in
the Torah. When he answers your question, it will be the Torah
answering you. It’s like ruach hakodesh.” – The Steipler,
as quoted by R’ Avraham Yeshaya Kanievsky,
as transcribed and translated by Mishpacha staff
(If I had to guess, “immersed” was originally “areingetun.”)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲Participant( Some people are yeshivish because they follow Comlink-X’s definition.
I didn’t give any.)
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWelcome back,
longarekel, Z-ZONE, yitzyk, Todros Gimpel, emeslaamito, and smc.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantLAB has recently done a video for Lose4Autism, called “Skinny Pinny.”
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲Participant“a” / “I”
January 27, 2016 2:29 am at 2:29 am in reply to: World's oldest man dies, says key to long life was …. #1133629☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantI don’t get it.
“World’s oldest man dies, says“
The present tense implies that he was still alive when he made a
subsequent statement. In this case, the actual statement reported
was, of course, made prior to his death.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantThis reminds me of a story about R’ Reuven Grozovsky talking
with his tefillin on to make someone more comfortable.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantDoes that not fit only with that definition?
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWeren’t you saying ZD was off-topic,
implying that Matisyahu wasn’t Jewish music?
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWhat’s with Syag Lchochma’s un in this post?
I think that post is from another account,
which was later made to link to Syag Lchochma’s account
when you click on its username.
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantHillary Clinton will bring about Mashiach.
Would you care to explain that statement?
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantRead the sefer about all the different kinds of music and what the effects of each kind are to you and your neshama.
Too bad the work he’s talking about isn’t actually about that.
WolfishMusings – In this context, people usually mean
“music created by and for Orthodox Jews.”
☢️ Rand0m3x 🎲ParticipantWell, for all we know, they might have used hollow reeds…
