welcome back chayav!

you’re the man (or woman?)

RABBAIM- So how come prishus is the 13th perek of msilas y’sharim coming after z’hirus, z’rizus, and n’kiyus? and it’s linked with chasidus (going lifnim mishuras hadin)?

Maybe do some research before rattling off mitzvos out of context.

13th perek look it up.

Prishus is a madreiga. It’s something you do when you’re holding by it, not like tzitzis and t’filin that you do no matter what.

Umm no sorry incorrect that’s a fallacious deduction.

A person “need not strive” for PRISHUS until he’s holding on the madraga for it.

Shmoel – who said he was happy about finally getting the “TUMAH” of professional sports out of his heart?? (I think you made up the “tumah” part) Maybe he was just happy to have the ‘distraction’ out, or to reach a level of Prishus and Kedusha of having a heart fully devoted to Avodas Hashem.

That’s why I think this story is not necessarily a proof that no one should ever start following sports. For some people it’s good to follow sports. It’s a raya that when you’re a gadol on R’ Scheinberg’s level, then, you should be happy to not be following sports.

The little I know – please provide your sources.

From R’ Elyashiv: It’s assur to *start* smoking (because sakana), but once someone is addicted, it is a tzorech for him so then it is not assur.

Background: The Noda B’yehuda was asked if hunting is mutar; he said no because there are many accidents, so it’s a sakana. But, if it is a tzorech for someone (i.e. his parnasa) then it is no longer assur. So too, someone that is addicted to smoking has a tzorech to smoke so it’s muttar.

“Kohanim aren’t looking for a heter”

True

Why would someone look for a heter to go to a museum!?

welcome..

ummm how exactly would one guess who you are??

Back to the original topic of roshei yeshiva of major yeshivos in America, The roshei yeshiva of Yeshivas Ner Aryeh are Rabbi Y. Weiner shlita, Rabbi Y. Cohen shlita, and Rabbi B. Lieberman shlita.

And they wear white shirts

true evryone likes psycho analyzing people..but not being psycho-analyzed..

i’ll go back to LSS’s:

you interupt ppl constantly

SilentOne:

I 100% agree with most of what you said and ur general suggestion, but:

“No one ever would tell a diabetic that their illness comes from a lack of Bitachon.”

Thats because diabetes is a physical problem. Anxiety is a mental problem with physical symptoms; therefore, (in limited situations, I agree) it could be dealt with on working on bitachon, which is a mental thing.

PBA: I hear wat your saying, but i have been told one time when i was anxious that its a lack of bitachon. I dont think its a stira; you can fight anxiety/nervousness by either uprooting the core cause of it like an emotional deep insecurity, etc. or by bitachon or covering it up with just getting used to it. (I’m dealing mostly with speaking in front of ppl / a person)

Ya i also have really bad nervous/anxiety issues. (not sure what the difference is if anyone wants to fill that in for me??)

Never heard of these tapes – what are they and where do i get them? and for how much $? (are they jewish or stam?)

I believe (I’ve been told) really focusing on bitachon, ain od milvado, Hashem will NEVER EVER EVER let you down and will ALWAYS do the BEST thing for you whether you DESERVE IT OR NOT can help these situations… cuz after all is there anything to be nervous about? ur like a child being held my its mother-obviously ur mothers gona take care of all ur needs.

Also focusing on ha’olom hazeh domeh l’frozdor and everything’s just a dream world here and nothing(like embarrassment etc) really matters because this worlds not the ikur, can help. Imagine ur on a boat to an island where ur gona stay forever. if u travel in first classic cruise, u’ll be simple on the island. but if the ride is hard work and u travel in the lowest of the low – on the island ull be THE MAN. obviously u wouldn’t care if u were traveling in the sewers if u just thought about that for a second!

But obviously thats MUCH MUCH easier said than done, it requires hours of mussar b’hispaalus ‘n stuff

wats wrong with just saying “rap”? it makes u feel too goyish? so u just do it but calling it somthing else to fix the problem?

…can i rite an aidel-poem?

Where can i get it?

LA obviously

can i be “proudly represting the west coast”

ya what gave it away the LEFT coast?

sorry im not exactly sure if this is the right thread for my songs… im not exactly sure what the rules of “limericks” are

This has similar ideas but its not the song:

Just can’t seem to figur things out

Things aren’t rollin the way they shud

Minds all clouded I duno wat its about

Heads on fire I wud smile if I cud

Ain Od Milvado He’s got it in control

U just do his ratzon and then things roll

Ur heating depression is His fleeting test

Evry little thing that happens is the best

UR best interest not anyone beside

Give it some thot let ur heart decide

It won’t take long

To realize ur wrong

And all thots are long gone

Except for one song…

Ain od milvado hashem is one and true

And His entire world was created just for you

All the mountains and the trees

And that perfect cool breeze

Its all from the One

All for You- his precious son

Heres a song im working on, it has a tune but i cant exactly post that:

Ur on a boat its on its way

To paradise not far away

To remain ther for eternity

If u sit in the first class

With pleasures no one can surpass

Wen u arrive u will live simply

But if u ride with nothing

On the island u will be a king

The choice is urs – where do u take ur seat?

Chorus:

This world is one big hallway Wer only passing thru

Nothing that u have here Comes with you

U do ur hishtadlus Hashem covers the rest

The only goal we have here Is to stand thru every test

Motor cruise ships left and rite

Seem to carry thru the nite

But wen they fail – they sink in sea

If u don’t give in to the urge

Ur little boat will not submerge

Just set ur sail – the wind comes naturally

I won a 10 pound chocolate bar (ended up being only 9.25lb)! cholov stam tho so i didnt eat any of it just brought it to school, we split it up wwith a hammer and nail and evryone else ate it.

lol nah im dovv and only dovv and i made the songs… abbazaba and backinaction are my friends

Ya ur shteigin in yeshiva day n nite

But the yetzer hara’s puttin up a serious fite

So u hav ur ups and u hav ur downs

U got ur smiles n u got ur frowns

The ikur is to realize this happens to all

Don’t think that ur the only one to lose and fall

Gota just keep pushin – get up off the floor

Ha’olam hazeh domeh l’fruzdor

Evry sigle actions gota be towards that goal

Day after day gota be m’kabel the Ol-

Malchus shomayim-try to pass evry test

And realize hashem does evrything for the Best!
