    This is a nation, except for a very few, that has radically distanced itself from their Creator.

    Lonely, longing for something but they don’t know what.

    No morality to cling to.

    Empty.

    Frightened.

    Detached from Eternity. From Reality.

    Unsuccessfully attempting to find purpose, where there is none.

    And now they think they might have have found a new savior.

    A deep possibility of hope has been barely awakened.

    How far it can can go, no one but Hashem can know.

    Maybe nowhere.

    Maybe somewhere no political pundit would expect.

    But the forces are primal and mighty.

    For us it should be a time of fear, and hope

    Maybe the moderators here, if you want, could email you with some names of Rabbis and/or programs in your area.

    Yes, you can. And that would be wonderful!

    But the most important thing for you to do is to find a warm and understanding orthodox Rabbi that you like and are comfortable with to ask all your questions.

    since the nasal passages, to which horseradish fumes rise, are connected to the eyes lacrimal canals, a good chrain does tend to produce tears. Maybe that’s an additional maaleh of horseradish.

    Could be.

    I don’t find horseradish bitter, or sharp either. It’s some other quality, shared with ammonia.

    I call it “nasally caustic”

    Well thought out, subtle, but glaringly true. You found the pashtus, which is not always so simple to do.

    Personally, it straightened out a previous wrinkle in my “daas Torah”

    I’m not sure this is coming out clearly.

    One more time.

    The “need”, the ????, of the davener is that the davenee be answered.

    I heard a teich in “???? ???? ????? ???”

    That the person davening needs that the other person receive that thing that he desires.

    In other words his Tefillah is truly heartfelt and he has a strong desire that the other be answered.

    In other words again: that the other persons need is to him as his own need.

    And yes. Longing for Moshiach so one can spend Pesach with the family is perhaps quite a desirous thought.

    Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt’l said more than once that one of the important purposes of Yom Kippur is to teach us how enjoyable it is to eat.

    Maybe you should be more careful when you publicize your judgements of the properness of another Jew’s motivations.

    In the future.

    I hope.

    how about we take them from Health’s posts and donate them to zahavadad’s posts?

    On a personal note, I wouldlike to suggest to the Moderators to impose a ban (or at least a limitation of the number) of exclamation marks per post employed by Health.

    “It’s beautiful and amazing to see that 2,000 years after Yetzias Mitzrayim we’re all doing our utmost to fulfill “Tashbisu se’or mibateichem” and to pass on to our children sippur yetzias mitzrayim while observing the Mitzvos of Pesach, as a privilege and a joy. All of us to the best of our ability.”

    Golfer. It gives me such an uplifting Nachas and Simcha to hear such words “spoken” by a twenty-first century Bas Yisroel.

    I am extremely opposed to a “hotel” Pesach. Very much like Syag.

    Nevertheless this year I will be in a hotel for the entire Pesach.

    Halacha is not uncomplex

    Mr Less it is clear you are personally threatened by seeing others Love for Hashem.

    You shouldn’t be. Don’t worry. You will receive exactly that Eternal Olam HaBoh that you have created for yourself here.

    Always the unpleasant cynic.

    Many women (maybe a rare man as well) find fulfillment, satisfaction, and Simchas Mitzvah in cleaning their Bais HaMikdosh for Pesach.

    In addition to, and maybe somewhat because of, the incredible tirchah.

    Yes, all of it isn’t strictly necessary. Yes some of the cleaning is “merely” Hiddur Mitzvah and chumra and Fear and Love.

    These unusual current happenings may be a reminder to the Olam Maaminim that the apparently secure equilibrium of “history” has over and over been punctuated by impossible revolutions. Even in the most stable and immune places, like america.

    That’s true, you should be discriminating in all your decisions. I was expecting a response like this, which is why I was discriminating in my choice of language and defined DY participants as a social ( which almost necessarily implies societal pressure) group and not merely individuals.

    But even so, DY has neither the flavor nor substance of what people generally mean when talking about eugenics.

    in reply to: An Open Letter to Donald J. Trump #1141107
    feivel
    Participant

    Kind of. But it is not mandated by any external power, rather a voluntary cooperative effort by a social group of interested parties. Additionally it is ultimately merely a process of eliciting information. DY (that’s dor yeshorim) does not force or even recommend (I think) what action is to be taken based on the information they provide. Additionally eugenics in its usual full sense is not merely a preventative system, but advocates the removal of defective organisms from the category of the living.

    And Winston Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt and HG Wells and Francis Crick.

    All very intelligent people.

    And why not?

    If people are merely animals, eugenics is quite logical and reasonable, compelling even.

    An animal breeder would be a fool and a failure to not apply breeding principles to his flock.

    You never languished over the spicy yet substantially mellow bouquet of a 40 year old delicate rye.
