@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.commonsaychelParticipantIn this case we reap what we sow, we gave China most favored nation status and now they took over the manufacturing sector.
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, it was a glatt place, the busboy was from Central America and the waitress was from Eastern Europe, both never heard of that gemeroh before and were not interested in leftovers as a tip, the manager was an America who never heard of that gemorah, he mumbled about Jews being cheap.
the owner who was frum told him not to be a TIPish.
PS by doing this it may violate the Board of Health rules, so you have an issue of dina dimalchas.commonsaychelParticipant“The other issue is China- they will sow anything”
We reap what we sowcommonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, “one was supposed to leave some food on a plate as a tip to the waiter? Forgot the source.”
My friend tried to put it into action last night, although he did not get the food thrown into his face he came darn close to getting assaulted, the manager told him he was no longer welcome there in spite of his protest that he was merely following the gemera.
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, I’m not against anything, why don’t you try that in real life, order soup and then tell the wait staff that the leftover soup is going to be the tip and report back the reaction.
January 5, 2024 10:48 am at 10:48 am in reply to: to tip or not to tip that is the question #2251455commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, try doing that these days and you risk having the tip aka the bowl of soup thrown at your face.
@UJM, the garbage collection in most suburban communities are bid out to private contractors.commonsaychelParticipant@lostpark, so you use this as an excuse not to tip?
January 4, 2024 11:50 am at 11:50 am in reply to: to tip or not to tip that is the question #2251294commonsaychelParticipantReviving an old tread, did anyone tipping habits change post Covid?
January 4, 2024 8:42 am at 8:42 am in reply to: Is it assur to wish a goy a “Happy New Year”? #2251241commonsaychelParticipant“do yidden have nothing else to worry about in 2024 except saying “happy holidays”? Gosh, too much time on your hands.”
If you don’t feel comfortable about it, so don’t do it, 75% of the people here dont have daily interactions with non-Jewish people other then in passing, this is just a abi gerit thread.January 3, 2024 11:09 pm at 11:09 pm in reply to: Amazing old concerts from the good old days (mbd fried etc) #2251052commonsaychelParticipant@OP ” i definatly think you should share” I think you should spell check before you post.
commonsaychelParticipant@jackk, we can always count on you for a stupid comment
commonsaychelParticipant@huju,
1. Fact: Yankel Rosenbaum was chased down and stabbed by a black mob yelling kill the Jew.
2. Fact: Al Sharpton Yemach shemon instigated the mob
3. Fact: Freddy’s a Jewish owned clothing store was burnt own by a black mob.
4. Fact: Jesse J called NY HymietownWant more facts? download the Govenor’s report a 616 page document.
PS you are a poster child that liberalism is a mental disorder.
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, delayed response???????????
commonsaychelParticipantlet me quote the great GH who summed it up best:
SK is the CR’s resident “sky is falling” trollster who is incredibly able to hijack just about any post or topic and turn it into a clarion call for us to do Tshuvah because we are no better than dor h’mabul and we are about to get another wake up call from the Ebeshter CV
This going to be my response when every time you post the same post just in other words.
commonsaychelParticipant@83, so next time instead of hijacking a thread start your own thread about what you learned.
commonsaychelParticipantSadly Black antisemitism has a very rich history, first of all Reggie was just an overpaid athlete so who cares what he said, you want to talk 80s? how about Sharpton, Maddox and company and Crown Heights riots?, how about Freddys? how about Jesse J? and things got worse from there, I am hard pressed to remember last time a black public figure said something positive about the Jews
commonsaychelParticipantHow did we morph from the original topic to the value of a goy?
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, I happened to have some pretty heavy yichus, I never made any kiss certain body parts because i had heilger zeides
commonsaychelParticipant@avira, Never in history has a goy defiantly converted, Jews on the other hand did.
commonsaychelParticipantTwo things never impressed me, 1 Yichus 2, Money, one was decided by hashem before that person was born and the money was allocated on Rosh Hashanah
commonsaychelParticipant@OP, Any reason you are raising this subject? you seem pretty bitter about it.
commonsaychelParticipant@83, I never heard of a goy defiantly becoming a Jew, I heard of at risk defiantly going OTD.
commonsaychelParticipant@83: but if it be possible) would defiantly become a jew., you gotta love AI,
lol
commonsaychelParticipant@CA, then refurbish the hat, no one can tell
December 21, 2023 6:58 am at 6:58 am in reply to: Chofetz Chaim says bless those you don’t love, pray they see moshioch #2248407commonsaychelParticipantThere are some openings in the Troller Kollel
December 20, 2023 6:36 am at 6:36 am in reply to: Anyone else long for when restaurants were simpler #2248156commonsaychelParticipant@ Sam klein, are you seriously out of your mind?? Never in the history of the Jews has there been more chesed, starting with free meals for women postpartum and heavily subsidized kimperturim heims, to volunteer homework help, to keren chasinim and hacnosas kallahs to gemachs, hatzaolah, chavarim, shomrim, bikur cholim, chesed shel emes, this list goes on and on,
I don’t know what planet your living on but it sure is not mine.commonsaychelParticipant“The point that I am trying to make is that G*D does not allow the Gentiles to make false accusations against Jews, until AFTER Jews make false accusations against each other.”
This is so incredibly rich, try looking in the mirror.PS no one ever accused you of being an apikurus, they accused you of being a Xenophobe, a self hater, a bitter alter bucher, spouting stupidity like haman.
PSS No one on my block calls the non-Jew on my block the Shabbos Goy we call him Bill and we invited him to the weddings when we make them.
commonsaychelParticipant@Da moshe, the local paper is a mouthpiece for Preserve Rockland so I would not take anything they say at face value, fact is before the frum takeover it was run by a bunch of illiterates who could not balance a budget if you paid them.
PS same holds true in your home territory of Lawrence Public and H/W Public.
PSS they hate you just as much even with the Kippa SerugaDecember 19, 2023 4:27 pm at 4:27 pm in reply to: 10 teves daven screaming oovinay yerushalayim #2248050commonsaychelParticipantVery much the case in the Troller BM, come join in
commonsaychelParticipant@DaMoshe,
1. the non-Jews are not squeezed out, they sell the house for top dollar and move elsewhere, show me one area that went frum and the prices dropped as a result.
2. No one tells anyone how to dress except for Kiryas Joel and New Square and they are 100 % Jewish.
3. Live in a block in Chestnut Ridge that is half frum and half not and the BBQ happen all the time.
4. Ramapo was a huge kiddish hashem, highly capable frum elected officials.
editedcommonsaychelParticipantIf you were a non-Jew would you know who Chanyana Weissman is?
If you were a non-Jew would you know who Hersh Kestin is?
If you were a non-Jew would you care what some Young Israel Rabbi said?
If you were a frum Jew would you care less about any of the above?commonsaychelParticipant83, its obvious that both you and Menachem were both born post Gimmel Tamuz, there is no leadership in chabad now and no one knows what the Rebbe’s thought were, he never spoke about the idioticy of car menorahs, he did speak about of mitzvah tanks, and I can tell you the rebbeh when he was alive put a stop to a lot of stupid ideas that came from the chasidim.
commonsaychelParticipantI use it to upset the environmentalist wack jobs.
commonsaychelParticipant@menachem, I grew up in the 70s next door to a chabasker, so you don’t need to tell me what chabad was like in the 70s, I have no issue with Mitzvah Tank and public menorah lighting in front of a shul, when this become a direct compete with Santa that is where I have an issue.
The rebbeh never encouraged people to drive around in Harley with a menorah in the back, this craze started about 20 years ago long after the Rebbe was in Gan Eden, this thread is not a chabad good/bad thread there are more the enough of those here, it is simply an issue of something run amok, this may stem from the fact that this is no leadership calling something when it went into excess like you had prior to the rebbe’s stroke.commonsaychelParticipant@cs or whatever sn name your using today and 83
This has zero nada zilch to do with chabad shitos and I am not teasing anyone, some of my closest people are Chabadsker and my next door neighbor is a chabadsker for doros, running amok with menorahs on rooftop of minivan or in the back of a Harley has ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do Chabad, it a bunch of idiots who took it upon themself, and yes in your face never was a yiddisher middah, WE ARE IN GOLUS AND LETS BEHAVE THAT WAY, and if it’s a choice of making some kid feel good about the lack of santa or someone getting punched in the gut, i prefer not to compete with santa, try and emulate the chabadsker who were around in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, you have a lot to learn from them.
@83, now to answer your question I have a chavursa who I learn chasidisher seforim since I’m a bucher and we cover all seform from Lekuati Maran to Tanya to Noam Elimelech, it gives me a much broader prospective unlike you and 90% of the chabadsker who have no clue of the 100’s of classic chasidisher seforim outside of chabad, oh and PS I learn the Or Chaim Hakodosh every shabbos who happen to be sefardi.commonsaychelParticipant@83. still waiting for the answer to my question
commonsaychelParticipantAnd what does the Troller Rebbe say?
Use spell check and find something better to do with your time.
commonsaychelParticipantIf you double 333 then you get 666
commonsaychelParticipantI tried eating enough latkes to be gematria Weissman, huge mistake I should have square rooted the number.
commonsaychelParticipant@mechamem, Actual I wear a Yalumka Beard and Payos [in corperate amercica I may add] vil ich bin a yid, not to impress yenim, in fact I tried to avoid the discussion of religion in the business world as much as I can by personal choice. That being said I know of people who were told to wear caps, hid payos etc.etc. while traveling in France Austria and other parts of Europe and Morocco.
That being said how I conduct myself outside the daled amos of my house is a far cry from people running amuck driving Harleys with Menorahs on the back and lighting menorahs in Tulsa, Cheyenne and Boise.
PS Bring me something from along those line from someone other than the Lubavitcher Rebbe ZL and I will yield.
@83 I will fill in the details as soon as you answer my questions.commonsaychelParticipantHere is the very simple discussion:
We are still in golus and until Moshiach comes whether its the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Barry Gurary or Rav Shach or someone else we are in golus.
Pros: Someone sees a Menorah in the back of a Harley and gets nostalgic of Grama Latkes and light the menorah or some kid sees the menorah next to the Xmas display and feel happy that the Jews have something to celebrate.
Cons: A non-Jew sees the menorah in public and gets enraged and punches the first Jew he sees or smashes a shul window.
The con wins hands down, we are still in golus lets behave that way.commonsaychelParticipant@83, I don’t want this morphing into the pros and cons of Chabad thread, I was focusing on competing with santa aspect, but being that you asked, Yes I learned the Alter Rebbeh seforim and the mittler rebbeh sichous, now let me ask you, have you ever learned the imray noam, yetev lev, yismach yisroel, chadishay harim, divray chaim just to name a few.
I knew chabadskers of the old and they were all temimisdik erlicher people and not busy riding Harleys with menorahs in the back.commonsaychelParticipantif you take the Gematria of Weissman and Kestin it equals Latkes and if does not then eat enough latkes it does.
commonsaychelParticipant@Yechi, The discussion was free of vitriolic discourse till your post, I will respond to you and then hopefully we can go back to a normal discussion, I am not a misnagid in fact I am a an einikel of the Alter and Mittler Rebbeh.
I frankly don’t care who you think is mosichach be it der Rebbeh, Barry Gurary or Rav Shach nor I care if you drive down Ventura Blvd or 5th Ave in convertible dressed in a monkey or birthday suit holding a menorah, if you do absurd stuff [the idea of rooftop menorahs came from some chabadsker not the rebbeh] we have the right to call a spade a spade.@Mechachem I worked in corporate America most of my adult life and the office always had a menorah next to the tree, did the menorah effect any of the Jews in the office? no nada zilch
December 10, 2023 10:45 am at 10:45 am in reply to: Seeking Guidance and Connection: Embracing Traditional Torah Judaism as a Young #2245582commonsaychelParticipantSpeak to the Troller Rav, the Troll shul is in your area, he may set you up with bchavrusah with Rav Sockpuppet if your lucky.
commonsaychelParticipant@MDD1, I am not UJM, if you read our posts we differ considerably of a host of issues.
In answer to your question, no but they did not wear Borsellino’s and suits and ties either, what they always wore was a special beged lkovid shabbos, it’s a far cry from my religion down your throat, and trying to compete with Santa.commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, “So, yes in Manhattan, no in Alabama and ask your local rav in between”
All I say is LOL ROFLcommonsaychelParticipant@Menachem, in the 2161 years since the chachamim established Chanukah we had some pretty rough years including rampant abandoning of yiddishkeit, including Cantonist, Neologes, haskalah, etc.
Abandoning of Yiddishkeit in America was rampant from 1880 to the 1960, yet no one saw the need to compete with Santa, and yes as much as you try to deny it, it’s to make an alternative feel-good winter holiday. Comparing the in-your-face Menorah Displays to a half dozen lame parades is so absurd I won’t even dignify it with a response.
My answer to your question is that we survived 2130 years without it is proof enough that we dont need it.commonsaychelParticipant@Damoshe, Teaneck has a household income average of $73,903 not 125K according to the 2020 census, if you factor in the average household income in Jackson township and Toms River Township where the bala battim live those numbers jump to average household income of upper 60K almost compatible to Teaneck.
