The Lita had something along the lines of 60% OTD, the Chazon Ish once told Rav Shalom Shvardon the reason was because there was torah but no joy,
Frankly WHO CARES!!!!
i Friends
What do you think about this?
I don’t want to give too much details to protect the innocent and the guilty, but suffice to say, I’m in Yeshiva (different shmuz) and I’m trying to study on the side and I need money so I found this remote job working for this guy.
B”H he is a really nice guy (cannot be said at all about some other people I have had the displeasure of working for) and very easy and flexible.
While the work is not that stimulating, I don’t dislike the work.
Problem is payment; we wrote up an agreement and he promised me extremely generous commision for the projects we are working on and I thought that I’d be rolling. The only thing is that nothing at all went through and a few months later I’d still not made a penny.
I sent him a nice email asking him if he’d pay me and he was very nice about it and he paid me a super basic salary for the hours I’d worked, but it seemed from him that it was more like a one-off and he still believes that we’ll make money and all that.
So, while I’m writing this all out, it is becoming more and more obvious to me as it probably is to you that I should probably wish him a lechitigeh tumid and a freilichen peerim, problem is, I’m quite a nice guy and something just fell through and I don’t want him to think that I’m leaving him because of that but the truth is, without giving details, it seemed to me that if any of all the projects we were working on would work out, it would be that one and when that fell through I realised that he does not seem to have much mazal.
I don’t know him personally but he seems to be older and he’s definitely tzefloigen and not very savvy so I’m not very optimistic about anything working out that amazingly going forward.
Also, these things are long term projects and it’ll take a long time for money to come through and either way, I don’t plan on hanging around.
I don’t want to ask him for a regular salary because that’ll make it harder for me to leave and he may not want to, I’d rather work another two months and then ask him for another payment.
I’ve also lost all cheishek for the job.
I really want to leave yeshiva and go back and work and get married, but at the moment I’m stuck in yeshiva, I also feel that had I not been working up for him I would have been able to go veiter with my studying…though I also need money for my studying…
Problem also is that in my situation it is close to impossible to find a job at all, I worked for another business, dishonest people…not nice people to work for…at least this guy is not unpleasant to work for but I mamish feel that I’m wasting my time.
The reason I’m feeling resistant is because my other options are non-existent and I’m desperate for money. Even though I’m not really making any money and I’m wasting time working for him when I could be studying or even learning maybe a bit ( 🫨what??? nisht tzugloiben)
Also, I lack backbone and I find it hard to go ahead even though I know it’s the right thing, and I also feel bad.
Thank you for listening. This has really been therapeutic and writing it out has really clarified things for me.
I would appreciate thoughts, empathy and job offers 😀
@Judy, Nice story about R SF Mendowitz and Reb Shayale, except it never happened, Reb SF left eastern europe in the early 1900’s and Reb Shayala was nifter in 1925.
PS the frum olam keeps changing, Florida is booming, Union County NJ is booming, the outer limits of Lakewood and Monsey are booming and Sullivan County has a booming year round community.
Dear Square Root,
I never said any lies about you or for that matter anything about you.
My issue is that you post rambling post from unknown people as if its torahs moshe, I have no issue if the person is a known expert in that particular field [ such as Rabbi Dr Twerski and addiction] but when you post a stupid comment from someone unknown I will not take it seriously, nothing against you.
Sincerely
Commonsaychel
No one said you have to follow what he says
Actually Sqaure Root did, your free to follow any blogger or drunk but holding them up as an expert of some sort that’s a whole separate matter.
“What does it matter what his expertise is?”
If you expect people to be impressed because someone says something then that person has expertise in the subject matter not some ramblings of a blogger.
The rant of a blogger carries the same authority of some drunk on the subway.I am, and the 12 step comment is among the stupidest I am seen
@Coffee, who is Mr. Gordon and what is area of expertise?
“the founders were very non-Jewish and they had some vague religious beliefs. They were not heimish or even MO, for sure.”
Very stupid comment, Sigmund Freud and Jonah Salk were not frum, Alexander Fleming and Louis Pasteur were not Jewish, so your stopping to take penicillin and Polio vaccines and drink only raw milk?
You never answered my question who is Nachi and why should we listen to him?
Dear Zushy,
I suggest you wait until Purim before you start the heavy drinking.
Yours
Rabbi Yitzchak Tzachi Brim שליט”א,
PS I don’t read English websites.
Soda (both regular and diet), Snapple (both regular and diet), and iced tea are high in acid and damage teeth.
If you must drink these liquids, then use a straw.Mishnichnas adar marbin bsimcha
@OP, I know purim is around the corner but it a little early to start with purim torah
The best way to start a day is plate of smaltz herring and kichel washed down with 7 oz. of Vodka.
SOURCE: one of the regulars in the basement of Shomer Shaboss shul last Tuesday” on this issue and on nearly every other issue in which he was a daas yaachid”
You said it best, he was a daas yochid, hardly a godol.@simcha613
Ever been to a livestock auction? now you will see horse trading and bidding for the shas votes in bet shemesh that will make the wild west look tame by comparison.Trump has ZERO, nada, zilch efes, nem Power to do anything so who cares
@SQUARE ROOT, want to get married? stop focusing how bad the system is and maybe you will find your prospects to be better, no one likes a whiner..
@GH, I know the candidates are sleazily on both sides of the aisle, Trump, Bill Clinton, Coumo Spitzer just to name a few.
Everything is Israel is kulo politics, from the hechsher you eat to the color of your tissues in your bathroom, you never see a chuloni do business with a charidy because of politics, if you vote a certain way it defines your identity in Israel.
Don’t like it? move away or dont pay attention to it, its been that way for 100s of years and it not changing,@Snitzel, dont forget they rent by bed and the kids need ESL
The Heimishe Olam does, by having a fresh supply of day laborers and cleaning ladies
Over 20 years, that adds-up to $5 BILLION DOLLARS!!!! Think about that for just half-a-minute…
Wow that is enough to buy a box of Entermann’s for every frum person who is not makpid on Cholov Yisroel or Bishul Yishroel and still have enough leftover cash to put 50 Shadchunim on payroll for life.
@OP, this is what 50 shadchunim told me, there is nothing worse than being a bitter alter bucher and knocking the system, no one want to hear from them because all the negativity, maybe chuck the bitterness and people would take you more seriously.
@AAQ, negotiations in politics have been around long before T ancestors even stepped foot in this land, read up on history, Missouri Compromise, Louisiana Purchase and end of Russian Japanese war just to name a few, like Tip O’Neil said all politics are local.
People should not even be doing that even in peacetime, a colossal waste of money.
@kuvult, You see the strategy worked, the reason the Susan B Anthony coin did not take off was because the rosh yeshivas came out against it, there was a lot of opposition to the Loonie in Canada because people were worried about have bad thoughts about birds.
@AAQ, meshinas adar marbeh bsimcha, but it is a little early in the morning to get inebriated
@SR, who is Nachi? never heard of him, does he daven in YIM
I watched a dolphin show and they prefer raw herring
Call the Troller Reebe he is an expert in these matters
I sang a niggun again and I realized it is Hillel not Moshe Metzger from Shomer Sahbbos who is Moshiach, after all he is surrounded by dozens of people daily who claim to be the real moshiach.
I sang a niggun and I found out that Moshsiach is Moshe Metzger the shammos at Shomer Shabbis
@OP, this sounds like a rant of a bitter alter bucher who is angry at the world, my suggestion is that you seek help to let go of some of the anger.
@83, very deep from a Lub BT, who would not have known chabad 100 years ago if it hit him in his face,
Mazel Tov, I always had a lot of respect for you, even when we agreed to disagree.
We can argue till the cows come home about the science of 1000 years ago compered to today and it won’t change a thing, bottom line why should a rav hamacher play big brother? how about personal responsibility?
@83, “just to point out chassidus is unlimited. there are over 300 seforim of sifrai chabad. there are seforim of other chassidus too. (b”h Hashem gave me a good head, and i learned alot)”
There are 10,000s of other chasidisher seforim yet you never looked into any of them, talk about narrow mindness.
Besides anyone who condones the destruction of a bais medrash cannot be taken seriously.
@5t, Self control what a novel concept, does it exist in 2024?
@Menachem, I can tell you about Bobov, Belz and Klausenburg even after they had splits, all had zero tolerance for such behavior and people were asked to leave, I know of at least three cases in the 70s and 80s where the Rebbe pulled shiluchim from the post for doing things contrary to Chabad, you need to answer about your behavior to a live person,
people like @83 think what happen was just fine yet you don’t, a living person would tell who is right.
Lets me ask, would any of the chasidim of the Rashab ever even thought of acting this way?@ysiegel, yes Shmuli Boteach.
PS when you have people like @83 who think what was done was 100% ok is all the proof that you need a living breathing rebbe.this is a very slippy slope, PETA says eating meat is unhealthy so stop give a hechsher on meats? it never ending.
@Menachem : “You seem to have no idea what happened last week. Or I completely misunderstood you”
What happened last week was a bunch of bucherim who took it into there own hands and based on their own interpretation of what the Rebbeh may or may have not said decided to go ahead a destroy a shul, something that would have unthinkable with a true chosid of the old.
@83, After you condoned what happened you lost any credibility.
@yseigel, that list is just plain ludicrous, if all it takes if some knowledge of the Rebbe’s ZTL torah and speaking ability then throw in Shmuly Boteach for good measure, fact of the matter is there is no one of the caliber of Reb Mendel Futufas ZTL or Reb Yoel Kahn ZTL hence the hefervelt we see today.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and the zeknai lubabvich were simple g-d fearing people who would never never thought of breaking down walls in a shul because of some warped person decided to do so.
And yes you need a living breathing person to guide you.In this case we reap what we sow, we gave China most favored nation status and now they took over the manufacturing sector.
“The other issue is China- they will sow anything”
We reap what we sow
