iacisrmma there is also a story about a talmid chochom that sang many zemiros at the table but his children never got a geshmak for Torah, instead, they dropped out of yeshiva and became singers at concerts. He said this was because he never showed the children the beauty of divrei Torah.

syag – Oh yes, I am also an uber-Chabadnik, just like every other sheitel/hat I proudly wear, I will stand up for the kovod of their Rebbe and their chassidus, except when a Chabadsker speaks against ANY of my gedolim (Rav Shach, Rav Hutner, Rav Aharon Kotler and Reb Moshe Feinstein) – he’d better watch out for the firestorm, as I did go full blast (thanks mods for letting it through) when one of them dared post in a derogatory manner about Rav Shach ztzl.

Also coming soon to a book store near you:

“What is the Mesorah of the Litvishe Torah Community Regarding Hoicha Kedusha at Yeshiva’s Mincha?

Are you motivated by t envy or jealousy? Please don’t lose sleep or become distraught, anxious, despondent or have a break down. It isn’t worth it.

There was a literal pikuach nefesh (risk of losing souls) due to assimilation in rural America. If a Jew would not attend shul which was far from his farm, his entire family would become lost from Klal Yisroel. The “former Orthodox buy now COnservative ” rabbinate decided that better to desecrate the shabbos and remain Jewish, than lose all Jewishness – therefore they lowered the “standards” to allow driving to shul on shabbos r”l. They did it for “a good cause”, to save souls, but created a movement which is not Torah Observant. This rabbinate, many of them had smicha from frum yeshivos, used various “heterim”, but we know that it was against normative halacha (even though one can actually be mechalel shabbos to save a person from shmad – that does not apply to Jewery in America driving to shul on shabbos). Standards were lowered, and Conservative Judaism was born.

I think we would much quicker accept a BT shidduch that is of a white race, than a FFB shidduch from a black race. We worry what people would say. Appearances. Superficial. And the little racist inside all of us.

CTL, would you have considered adopting a black girl? If not, why? And if so why didn’t you?

The Oriental identify them as “from the East”. Occidental (called Caucasian) means those “from the West”. The Oriental traditionally come from bnei Ketura, Avroham Avinu’s children that he sent them kedma – East. They have many traditions from Avroham including genetic midos.

So suddenly it became ok to say “rebbe helf mir”?

Over the years countless gedolim, Rosh Yeshiva, Admorim, Rabbonim, poskim have come to farbrengen of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, yechidus, dollar line, kos shel bracha. They attended lubavitcher functions and learned the seforim of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Is it possible that they were being c”v “mechazek yedei reshoim” – after all, some posted that Sichos have “kefira” in them? Some posted Lubavitcher don’t keep basic halacha (like sleeping in sukka), yet how do these gedolim, including Reb Moshe Feinstein ztzl seek counsel by visiting for yechidus?

Are we all smarter them all the Admorim? Do we stand more for halacha than the poskim like Rav Menasha Klein ztzl?

The posters here bash, while gedolim, Rosh Yeshiva, Admorim and poskim express honor and utmost respect. Their actions speak louder then any posting.

I would suggest that someone who worships the avoda zara of sports is possul l’eidus, cannot be part of a minyan and his non-mevushal wine is ossur. If he is drowning, there is no mitzva to save him.

Everything I write has yesodos in Torah.

Wolf: In addition to Joseph’s astute reply, your point is “Mommy, everyone else is doing it, so it must be ok”. If you would be at time of Egel Haahav, you would say the same, look, if so many are doing it – even Aharon Hacohen, it must be ok. The erev rav or misyavnim have infiltrated bnei Yisroel, and yeshivas are victims like anyone else. Some yeshivos have leagues and other forms of sports avoda zara – that doesn’t make it ok.

I am a Chassidish, Litvish, Veltish, Yeshivish, Frumish, Yekkish, Heimish, Vibeish, Yentish Yiddena. Does that frighten you? I stand for halacha and love ALL yidden, even those that I disagree with. I argue fiercely and know vast amounts of shas and poskim (I was a mesayem at siyum hashas). I also believe in “kadesh atzmecha bmuttar lach” – to increase in chumras and syogim. I am a Femminist that appreciates “she’asani kirtzono”. I am a Talmudist, Kabbalist, Scientist and mother nad wife of a tremendous Talmid Chochomist. I follow the “klal Godol batorah” of Ahavas yisroel and denounce anti-semites, even “frum” sonei yisroel. And I do not fit into a cookie cutter mould because I am uniquely me: An ezer k’negdo.

I see this much more in Litvish / Yeshivish mosdos using p oi skim gedolim and Rosh Yeshiva then Chassidic mosdos (that usually don’t need to resort to such methods to fund raise).

When they look for a segula for the mice, are they asking Hashem for help or are they asking the tzaddik?

If Hashem, does Hashem help the issue of mice more at this Tzaddik, then at other tzaddikim?

How exactly does it work?
