If you’re going to equate Chabad to another religion then you aren’t having a serious discussion.
A new approach to a new scenario is not a shift in Hashkafa. What zionist groups wanted and did in Europe before the war is entirely different from the new reality.
Unless you are Satmar and insist that Shalosh Shvuos are tantamount to Avoda Zara and worse than Chilul Shabbos, the whole issue with the movement was the havoc they caused and his they pulled thousands away from their their tradition.
Now, there is a state of Israel, and a country full of, and run by, Jewish people. This is not an organization. In fact, it is silly to call them Zionists. This is a title remembered mainly by the anti-Israel crew.
A Rebbe who is ממלא מקום is not merely a Rosh Yeshiva’s son who can repeat what his father said. He evaluates the scene, understands the true and inner motives of the previous rebbes, and decides accordingly.
There are strange things going on. Yes, it’s strange to me. However, this is an entire Kehilla. You aren’t getting then to nice away from where they are. It seems more about wrong semantics than anything else, anyhow. The ideas aren’t foreign to Chasidim, but others never publicly insist on such things and surely not with such terminology. But if you get where they are coming from, you can take their words for their original meaning.
“Halevi, when i say “bothered by” I’m using the yeshivishe expression. As in, “what’s bothering rashi?”.”
I understood. I don’t have that much time to spell out every branch. Besides, usually I’d be doing this from a phone which makes it take even longer. But I used “bothered” back the same way, as in, I don’t have a “Shverekeit”.
I think you misunderstood my reference. I am writing that Gemara as an additional reference to the fact that free will is real. As you see, I did not come to refute the idea.
My points are: it is not openly mentioned in Kesuvim, it has a good basis in Chazal but its full meaning is still not openly discussed, but it is based on logic and that logic applies to everyone.
C’mon. What did you expect? You really thought that they would discuss it? It is, for them, up close and personal, and there can also be repercussions. Give them a break just this once.
Did you really expect Chris Cuomo to cover his brother’s story nonchalantly? I didn’t. For you this might be fun and exciting, for others it hurts.
“in my line of work I have to deal with all forms of disrespect and bad attitudes.”
Cop or teacher?
Avira, I’m not bothered by anything. I am pointing out that being that the whole basis of free will is derived from S’char V’Onesh, and that therefore is applies to anyone who is subject to S’char v’Onesh. If you expect Nazis to be burning in Gehenom you have to assume that they had a choice.
And so, I began by asking and you answered accordingly. My main objective was to build upon your answer.
And yes, Chazal do say הכל מן השמים חוץ מיראת שמים, and that would seem to imply that our will is completely free. It also says in Bava Basra (16a) that Iyov wanted to claim that our will is predetermined. However, Chazal aren’t really taking on directly the philosophical concept of free, undetermined will. It is the Rambam who solidified that.
As for הכל צפוי, even though the Rambam does utilize it that way, it isn’t the straightforward meaning. Others don’t take it that way.
Midwesterner, that’s a fantastic way to put it.
The Kesubah is an agreement, not a Halachah Sefer. It is comical how people point to it as a complaint against learning in Kollel.
But even more important, the agreement is that the husband will give her what she needs. If she brings in money, which brings to him according to the Kesubah agreement and she gets what she needs, that is in full accordance with the Kesubah.
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.
