The new Forbidden game is called Forbidden Sky.
It includes batteries (you build an actual electric circuit during the game).
I think it’s been getting mixed reviews.Anybody know why I stopped receiving email notification of follow up replies?
I did not select the block notification icon.I recently saw a post saying that system is messed up.
(You might have noticed by the lack of links to later pages of some
threads on the main page that this forum doesn’t work perfectly.)The concept of a single leader (to quote the OP, “The Gadol Haddar”)
to whom all others defer isn’t a concept, just an occasional reality.(Wasn’t Reish Galusa a political appointment?)
I agree with Yserbius on the first question.
“Non-Jews hate Jews indiscriminately, therefore we must not make any
distinctions between Jews” doesn’t seem like a strong argument to me.[A:]…alleged to have been composed by Shabsei Tzvi.
[B:] …for that matter some tunes come from Russian and Polish folk songs and marches of Napoleon’s army.Perhaps he shouldn’t have used “composed,” but he meant the words, not the melody.

Chanukah gift guide? (Probably won’t happen…)

According to the Wikipedia page on The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the Scandal of Orthodox Indifference, the book includes a letter from Rabbi Ahron Soloveichik to a friend explaining his position. The letter is quoted on the Wikipedia page.
1) He is regarded as a Gadol b’Torah by the Gedolim already established as such.
This means that they give serious weight to his opinion in their own Halachic rulings.
2) His Torah is studied widely in Yeshivos and Kollelim
3) Community Rebbeim (of various communities) turn to this person with their own shailos
There have been many known tzaddikim who did not meet all of those criteria.
Good trolling, Meno, keep it up.
Who’s that? (I assume he’s not the Jewish pitcher for the NY Giants, 1941-6.)
Was the number 36 being in both Meno and Sariray’s posts
on the previous page a coincidence?Many sentences including “Simchas Torah” and “baal tefila”(/synonym) are about strange minhagim.
(I agree with those who think TomimTihyeh’s a troll, but…)
All I said was that anyone who doesn’t ACKNOWLEDGE
who the Rebbe is will be sorry when it’s too lateConsidering that no person perceived as chashuv by the non-Chabad
Orthodox world has ever done so, we’ll be in excellent company.(I just realized MMSh could be the Rebbe. Still wondering about MYD.)
Teikef uMiYa”D MaMo”SH!
What are the acronyms?
Rav Aharon Feldman has written* that even if it’s not problematic to consider a dead
person to be Moshiach who will return, it cannot be considered sensible to believe
that out of all the niftarim of Klal Yisrael, Moshiach will be the Lubavitcher Rebbe.*in The Eye of the Storm
When someone asks you about your attitude about certain gedolim, and your answer
(#1624910) contains a comparison to someone’s attitude about “a Jew who clearly follows
a non-Torah path,” you’re kind of inviting trouble (even if you didn’t mean it that way).“Complications occur in about 30% of cases and may include diarrhea, blindness,
inflammation of the brain, and pneumonia, among others.” – WikipediaI haven’t heard anything like that about chicken pox.
What does the record show about lawful gun owners using guns in violent crimes?
Let me amend that.
“…violent crimes motivated by personal anger or grievance against the victim?”“Triggering” refers to a previous trauma experienced by the person. Unless
someone has been involved in the slave trade, there shouldn’t be an issue.(Also, people who took RebYidd at face value – really?)
Isn’t there a Jewish mental health center somewhere around there?
Maybe they’d have an opening, or someone there would know a place.My point was that newspapers often do have a particular political
view and are therefore indeed comparable to political entities.Sigh. Will someone please quote the other Rambam for him?
Non-Jews have commandments, which implies that they have free will.
The perspective of looking at all other beings as merely agents of Hashem’s will and not
independent actors, which is sometimes used in avodas Hashem, applies to Jews as well.Dogs act of their own volition. It doesn’t say that a person shouldn’t
own weapons, and that they should keep them locked up if they do.“Society must train its members to be law-abiding and peaceful
and not use violence even if they are aggrieved or angry.”What does the record show about lawful gun owners using guns in violent crimes?
“[D]ecent” gun owners must exercise self-discipline and allow themselves and
their genuine motives to be placed on a register and be regularly monitored.Legally acquired guns in the US are registered to their owners.
The owners’ motivations, genuine or not, not so much (unless I just don’t know it).(The problem with guns is threefold: 1. … 2. …
Did you omit the 3rd problem or did he?)I’m not sure you know what a “moment of silence” is.
Also, virtually everyone in the world used to believe in a G-d,
and there were still plenty of murders back then.Being next to someone in a photograph is very often meaningless.

Please provide a source for that concept.
(Someone else can count the number of wars we fought in Tanach.)(That’s Sandy Hook, not Stony Brook, which is about 2 hours away.)
This is a newspaper not a political party or community group. So your comparison is completely off.
Newspapers are often allied or associated with political parties or movements
(even when they’re not an official organ of the entity in question).Sadly, I’ve got little to no interest in video games
The Codenames series are physical/tabletop games*, and I meant games of that kind.
*(The original Codenames is also available as an app.)
It’s out now. Both players(/teams) give clues, and all players win/lose together.
(I could probably make a list of games that should appeal to HP fans, if anyone’s interested.)
YWN’s stated goals probably don’t include covering world news.
(Actually, drop “stated.”)
You’re right, but I was thinking about possible evidence in the results of a single test,
not about checking them against all other results of tests performed by the company.Would that not require the other party to have agreed to such disclosure?
(Actually, it was TheGoq who posted about his being a cashier, not RebYidd.)
(Forgot to add: All references to “Lior” in that thread refer to Joseph.)
She didn’t say that they weren’t capable, but that they shouldn’t do it.
If we interpret “Yiddish” as referring to those who speak it,
it’s suddenly a lot less misleading.many Hareidim would not object to an Islamic state if it respected autonomy for the frum community
I find that hard to believe (unless their underlying thought is that this would resolve all Arab-Jewish tensions and the Jews would not need any protection from the other citizens).
