Choice doesn’t mean free will. Related, but not the same; certainly not beferush.
Yeah, I figured someone would bring that up. Obviously, once you believe in the idea, you pack it with all related Pesukim. But the idea is based on שכר ועונש, and that’s exactly how the proponents thereof introduce it.
Why do you assume I didn’t understand the substance? Are you expecting a gif of my nodding, or should I post: “Aha. Mm Hmm. Very nice vort”?
Now, surely language can eventually adapt to include what became widespread. But that is hardly an argument to speak incorrectly now, whilst hoping it will one day be part of normal language. Speaking unclearly has no benefits. It doesn’t help your own thinking, either, as we find in Eiruvin 53.
Again you are referring to the usage of a word. But that is on no way similar to the basic sentence structure. Let me rephrase that.
Referring you are again to the usage of a word…
Oh. I see. I guess they didn’t keep “This Side Up” when they transferred the site.
Sorry that I can’t pull up exact sources right now. It is mentioned as an option for a woman to want to differ from the arrangement of the Kesubah, I believe. Reb Yochanan visited a woman doctor. Abaye’s mother was a doctor, and is quoted several times such as on Shabbos פרק רבי אליעזר דמילה.
Ober Chochom, I didn’t mean to get you excited. You stated your belief buy still didn’t say how you know.
Reb Eliezer, you stated the proof — the one and only proof — of there is punishment there must be choice, or else it would not be deserved. Don’t non-Jews get punished as well?
How do you know that we have free will?
Who explains the Maharal?
I think that most instances of a doctor being mentioned in the Gemara, it was a woman. Even if not most, it was pretty prevalent.
Although the main way of making money — travel, trade, and labor — was not commonly available to women, hence the necessity for the Kesubah arrangement, there were some jobs that allowed then to earn more. This included being a doctor. Today there are plenty more opportunities, which can even satisfy Tznius.
It should never be about hampering or hindering. Tznius is a value, not a lock.
You can do both. Like Popa bar Abba, I finished along with the thousands others in 2020, and decided to add Tosafos, so I just climbed out of Eiruvin. I doubt I’ll catch up this way but being up to date is not worth giving up Tosafos.
Ever got your answer yet?
He’s Tom and Dick’s friend. The equivalent to חיליק וביליק.
Who is a Zionist?
But anyhow, yeah, it’s not nice.The Yeshiva freestanding shtenders must have a foot rest positioned to have enough control to pull or push the top to or away from you.
I still remember how my Chavrusa lost control and his shtender rammed the back of the neck of the guy in front. Hard to forget the shriek.
I understand how it comes from the Yiddish, but it’s much worse than using a certain word in a localized way. This is just not an English sentence. That’s just not how verbs connect to subjects.
The way I understood that Rashi on 3b is that he isn’t referring to the Halachah of חשיד אממונא, but rather the logic of it. Since we are delving into a טעמא דקרא this problem is dealt with as well.
Explains the Ben Ish Chai
Who explains the Ben Ish Chai?
You see, Yiddish and English aren’t the same. Pay attention to well written Torah in English.
Oh, the crisis is at full throttle. We should do what they did back then at the Kerem Shilo.
That’s true. It is part of the cancel culture concept. It is silly how they’d pull comments of a private person as proof of policy.
This guy better surround himself with educated people, or else he’ll just be the right’s version of AOC.
Mod-29, they were put there as part of the crusade against Joseph, the coffeeroom villain, to out him as well as to denigrate him. Also, it went under anyone who it was decided, for one reason or another, that the user was him. It didn’t make a difference how long we’ve known that individual and came to recognize the personality behind the name.
I do recall having my posts edited and manipulated by activist moderators, to remove anything that sought to explain or answer but to leave most enough to make it look like some angry sore loser.
It is odd that you view those days as well played. I didn’t thin it brought out the best of people.
I remember how the subtitles were used against the members, so I don’t miss that.
השנאה מקלקלת את השןרה.
@RightJew, I listened to that whole clip and you are either purposely defaming Lubavitch or are completely foreign to what he is saying. He literally said that the Shechina rests on the rebbe and you twist his words, and take absolutely one word from his whole speech to epitomize his intention!Excellent question. Disgusting response.
Once you said allegedly you lost me.
@AviraDeArah, Achizas Einayim is פטור אבל אסור.
The basis of the Hetter for Jewish magicians is that they aren’t out to fool anyone into thinking that they manipulated nature. Some are also Machmir to explain explicitly that it is merely slight-of-hand.
Way too long on my posts, and way too fast on others’.
Why does the OP think that the men are in charge of what their wives wear? Did he start this thread just to exude these extreme, wild, and dangerous ideas? I mean, he couldn’t find another cause to carry on about? (Shudder)
There are Halachic issues.
There are Hashkafic, or sensitivity, issues.
Shmoozing causes people to stay in way longer, and others can’t get in.
Staying in longer than necessary causes you to scratch, which nauseates people.
Having a conversation going on nearby can make people uncomfortable.
When you make your announcements and others are quiet, it’s not because they accepted your off-the-hip idea; they just think it doesn’t even pay to try.Open ended proposals are extremely dangerous.
UJM, on the contrary. Just like the Sanhedrin disbanded 40 years prior to the Churban so as not to be forced to punish the widespread transgressions, today they would run and hide.
Besides, to try to model your behavior after an Hiroas Shaa is to say that it wasn’t an Horoas Shaa.
Another point: We have no idea, or Mesorah, on what was employed as a Zchus when it came to דיני נפשות. It appears to me that the excuses would surprise most of us.
Lastly, I must say, you have strange obsessions.
Also, I Hayley to think that silver is more stable than gold. The fact that gold is going up shows that it isn’t stable. Now, putting money into something stable is not an investment per sè (or is it sé), but it is good for inflation protection.
All this is only an issue for the מרבה נכסים guys. My biggest investment was a laptop.
@Abba_S, good point. In war time, those who’ve invested in sugar made it big. But I was referring to the potato market rather than a particular potato.
Invest in potatoes. No matter what the economy this will not run out of style. And I’m speaking of model 0001.00.
@glida, I don’t think there’s anything wrong about speaking of what they’re actually mourning. If you have real insight about this I’ll hear you out, but I’ve stood by, as well as joined, such conversations. That’s actually part of being sympathetic. Can you just sit there and just go hmm phmm?
You gotta think practical. What happens if one marriage doesn’t work out רחמנא ליצלן? On which side would the other couple stand?
Sure. And you thank him for those wonderful titles.
Judging by the Shul signs, התורה חסה translates as: your property is up for grabs.
At the Kosel they said, בתוך שאר חולי ישראל. How do you explain the that one?
This is not at all about language changing. This is about poor communication. Not every concept you’ve heard of applies you every scenario.
I am fascinated that he didn’t want to miss a part of the speech, and so he made this Tzaddik — who owes him nothing — come and find him in his seat!
TLIK, the term is used by Chazal even for keeping a couple apart temporarily. It’s not a misuse. The reason you don’t find the term, or actually the concept, mentioned in the Gemara had to do with society and the way marriage and relationship worked.
Ha ha. This leap from the Maharam Shiq to his point is pretty typical for that Sefer.
He was a Talmid Chacham, and he probably meant it seriously, but it’s hard to read the Sefer seriously.
As a first step get bedbug-proof mattress covers. Also, you can prepare a spray of alcohol to kill on contact of you happen to see some.
They hide well. Exterminators look for signs of them rather than coming across the actual critters. The telltale signs are the bite patterns and spots on the mattress.
If you are in an apartment building they are likely coming from another apartment, and you cannot fix it alone. Otherwise, contact an exterminator. You might have to move out for s few days while they spray some poisons.
If you catch it early enough, you might only have to treat one room.
Much Hatzlacha
There goes my ביעותא בכותחא!
Would go to yesterday and take a nap.
AviK, according to William Bernard Ziff, the British are the ones who fabricate the claim that the Jews are trying to take over Har Habayis, on order to rile up the Arabs.
It’s a biased book, but that’s his story.
Square Root of 2, why do you say that the pint is not to be embarrassed? What about those being punished? The point is that the reward should be a deserved reward and not a Matnas Chinam, which is not well received due to the Nahama Dichisufa concept.
As for my point of Bechira, you have to truly envision such a universe before tossing the explanation. If the fact is that there is no concept of a Cheit (whether preordained or selective universe) then there is no active Bechira. (Yes, I know your point of view, which is why I worded it that way.)
Additionally, there is the point that this world is meant to remain murky and not final. By rooting out the evil Hashem would effectively be fixing the world, not us. I mentioned this in the above post as well.
This is anything but a religious war. Whoever claims this is a religious war just popped that out of his hat, after realizing that those in the fight are of a different religion. Did you ever see any side trying to convince the other, by word or the sward, to convert and join?
And, Akuperma is correct. This is a fabricated fight fomented by the Brits in order to be needed and thus be able to stay in what was never meant to belong to them. Mandate means that they are acting as the hand of the League of Nations.
There were plenty of Arab leaders who were on good terms with the Jews and the Zionists. It was the Brits who incited, and allowed, the Chevron massacre.
They are now stuck in hatred that was passed down by selfish rulers. Indeed religion is used, now as always, to justify and invigorate the hatred. Religion is a powerful tool but it is hardly the cause. People fight for any ideology, including Democracy.
When then-President Bush spoke of invading Iraq, it wasn’t enough to mention our issues with Saddam. In order to Americans to agree, or justify, an attack on a sovereign country we were told that we will be bringing ‘democracy’ to the people of Iraq. Well, think about how the Crusaders or Muslim raiders justified their invasions with the spread of their ideology which they too subscribed to, with even more fervor.
But the motivation is usually less glamorous, and more simple.
Laskern, that Tiferes Yisroel, although it is quoted in other Sefarim, probably because of the great Mussar value, is highly suspect and seems to contradict famous Medrashim about Moshe Rabbeinu as well as what we know about Chachmas Hapartzuf or natural ‘sixth-sense’ recognition.
- This story emerges in the nineteenth century without a hint in earlier Sefarim/Midrashim.
- The Shita Mikubetzes in Nedarim has such a story, but about some anonymous Chacham.
- Being that Moshe Rabbeinu was Nolad Mahul and that the house filled with light, it is quite odd to say that his face was that of an evil person.
- When a person works on himself, he changes and so does the look on the face.
If Hashem would not create those people whom He knows will turn out bad, then we would have a world in which there is no active Bechira.
Instead, He set up this zone for all His creation to bring out their potential virtue. And the good will shine out from within the murky atmosphere. This way we are choosing Hashem.
As for the Nahama Dikisufa, I don’t see any contradiction there. What you do get is deserved and well received and what you don’t get, for lack of accomplishment, is embarrassing.
