Whoever wants.. I’ll be performing in my little Sukkah ??”? tonight (for me and any other creatures who happen to chance by). Tomorrow night ??”? somewhere else…
Yes, living in Eretz Yisroel is a mitzvah, a great mitzvah. A great privilege, an opportunity to do more mitzvhos, an honor to be living in HaShem’s palace.
But we’re not moving there just to do away with out three day Yom Tov experience. It’s a experience, not a burden. It’s our chance to be totally disconnected from the mundane, just us and the Ribono Shel Olam. No, not a burden at all.
And, sorry to say, sometimes it’s a bit easier enjoying being frum, leider, in chutz la’aretz. (where else do signs on the bus say “Warning – on this bus you must sit where you want. Anyone who sits where they don’t want faces criminal charges..”) Nothing chas v’sholom against our holy land, it’s the status of things there currently a secular people have against us…

I don’t know which Shul you’re referring to. Could be they wanted to place one more desperate heartfelt plea for life at these closing moments. Maybe it was a bit too hard for them to contain themselves at this crucial moment, knowing their very fates were being finalized and sealed at that moment. Maybe this particular Shul allows for people to display earnest feelings, expressions while connecting to or communicating with their Creator. No, they do not lack Emunah at all. They take Davening seriously, enthusiastically, with a fiery zest. ????? ??? ?????, HaShem likes live, active attention to Avodah, not laid back, unemotional, passionless service.
And I don’t think Rav Tzvi Meir is one to be ridiculed.
MusicMan (who else!!)
I had something similar on the tip of my fingers.
Inspirational speaker too. It inspires people to dance.
And I challenge them to re-post the reply I wrote when you tried that last time:
({We are as healthy as all our Torah Leaders want us to be. To hope for the Har Habayis, to revere its kedushah by not treading on its holy soil, but to stand respectfully at the closest proximity permissible and daven. Reverently, with sanctity to HaSHem. For the true geulah. For the true Mikdash.
No, we are not retarded.}}
Contrary to what you would have us believe, the Har Habais is unfortunately off limits to Torah true observant Jews, according to most poskim. Those looking to connect to Hashem at the closest proximity, must do so while standing at the Kosel – facing the makom hamikdash. Because that’s what Hashem ordained. That is His willing. We haven’t lost focus. No, throughout our 2,000+ years of golus, we haven’t lost focus of yearning for the geulah, the bais hamikdash, the restoration of the avodah and the rule of old. To go onto the har habayis now and (pray, dance, shout, or whatever) is not coming closer to Hashem, it is NOT Hashem’s ratzon, it is one’s OWN (misplaced) willing, urge or feelings.
When we stand in earnest prayer at the Kosel, we are fighting PROPERLY for the Bais hamikdash. That is our method. Has always been.
Eclipse,
Thanks, I just got to read that. You’re like the ???? ???? ??? ??? ??? ????? ???? ????. Haven’t had that in a long time.
?????? ?????, may Hashem fulfill ?? ?????? ??? ???? in the coming year.
Someone who advised me not to post…
See that?
That’s why the Gemarah says (somewhere) ???? ????? ???? ???? ???????. It appeared that you were hurting, it tugged at me, so I responded. (next time I’ll let you…)
I wish he wrote so, it doesn’t appear like he had that in mind.
We are as healty as all our Torah Leaders want us to be. To hope for the Har Habayis, to revere its kedushah by not treading on its holy soil, but to stand respectfully at the closest proximity permissible and daven. Reverently, sanctily to HaSHem. For the true geulah. For the true Mikdash.
No, we are not retarded.
JF(02),
did it take less than a minute to read here and type that?
Shopping. I hear you. LOUD AND CLEAR. I’m sorry you went through so much pain. No. I don’t think there are real answers, these are emotions, everyone takes them and deals with them differently. ??? ??? ???? ???? ????, a person is not held accountable (to a degree) in time of his/her anguish. We are human, people with emotions.
And know too, someone who purposefully causes another pain, agmas nefesh, physical or mental anguish, WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED.
There is this famous story the Chofetz Chaim (yartzeit on Friday) related. In his youth there was this poor widow who lived in some home, who couldn’t afford the rent. The landlord threatened time and again, he was going to throw her out into the streets. Finally things came to a head one day, and on a frigid cold wintry day, he went and removed the roof of her home.
Said the Chofetz Chaim, for years he was wondering, how could it be, the Torah states specifically ?? ????? ????? ?? ?????. ?? ??? ???? ????…the scary curse that befalls one who pains a widow or orphan (or any other unfortunate, downtrodden fellow). How could that landlord be left living peacefully years after doing such harm to a widow. He was left with that question for many years.
Years later, said the Chofetz Chaim, he got his answer. That man was bitten by a rabid dog, he went crazy and eventually died an agonizing death. To others who knew nothing about his past, it seemed such a unjust mishap, for him, he knew that was HaShem’s intervention, His just ways.
THERE IS JUSTICE, NOW, HERE, in this world, too. ??? ??? ???? ????, everything with an exact judgement. Those who hurt you…(while we’re not supposed to wish it..), there is a True Judge watching EVERYTHING.
hope that eases up some of your pain
Why do people who did nothing wrong have to ask mechillah?
and where are those…(opps, sorry, never mind)
Down?!? Lucky you – you have a job! Many don’t. That’s why they post away somewhere (lashon hara to say where).
My idea would be to get real LIVE caring friends. It’s not the same, but of course folks here could also brighten your day, boost and lift your spirits. But it shouldn’t be a substitute.
What would you need us to volunteer?
try2,
me two
and 42 – I wish I had a pure neshamah, I’m trying, everyone’s trying, it’s Ellul isn’t it?
Well, it could have happened. What’s the difference to you? You want to know if some tears you shed are for a true incident or for an author’s parnassa?
Am I s l o w ?
Could anyone kindly care to explain to me what in heaven’s name is going on here. Hey.. no secrets.
..and I thought HaShem rules..
Let’s start a communal project to keep illnesses away.
???? ?????, it’s not a free for all. And ?? ????? ???”? ???? …(something no good)
Eclipse,
I think I once wrote to you before (under my previous s/n a”h) there can be nice men too, of all ages. You’ll meet up with this pure “SELFISH” guy, intent at perfecting his character, his middas hachesed, he’ll end up using you for his goal. Pure selfishness! After all most opportunities of bestowing chesed, untold times, again and again, are with one’s spouse. He’ll couple with you for that purpose, to have someone to bestow chesed, to brighten someone’s life, to cheer, to make someone close and dear happy – ??? ???? ?????.
How is YW allowed to publish this lashon hara against itself?
Syag,
I’m not at all privy to your situation, I don’t know any details, but it could be it’s a bit harder to accept wholeheartedly when another person is involved. He is viewed as the the “source” of the misery, pain, hurt. I too was dealt a strong blow from a “human” some time ago, I really should know and realize Who was behind that “potsh”, Who ordained and planned it, but it doesn’t come so easily, it still hurts. The heart and mind are in two different places. It takes a lot of mussar and training to get to realize that. And once I do, I suppose the hurt will be less.
I wish you a full nechamah, closure, consolation over your pain.
Thanks so much for that inspiring piece. It’s very true. I heard once in a shiur that when the Yetzer Hara prevails and manages to seduce one to sin, he cries “why did you listen to me?”
I didn’t judge you. In fact until I saw you here I didn’t know you exist. (assuming you’re a new personality here)(but then again, how would you know about Joseph. ??? ?? ??? ?? ???? – ????? ?? ???)
What are MODs doing on such a silly thread. Aren’t they supposed to be somber, solemn, serious?!?
Does Editor know you can be humorous? Ok, ok, I won’t tell. (someone’s parnasah..)
I know that feeling. When people ask me “..And what do you do?” (“Um, um, I work for the Yeshiva World, I’m a writer”)
And who might be the father of a bull? (bully?!)
I don’t know… Deep down I find it pretty hard to forgive certain people..
I would be deleted and my posts banned if I dared state an opinion..
Is someone doing Onaas Devarim or embarrassing another poster/s here?
You were quite civil, courteous at least toward me. I actually didn’t notice you getting into a squabble with ANYONE.
Others…
Eclpise, When Mashiach comes, there won’t be a need for child support. People, I suppose will be ‘mentchen’, former squabbles (putting it mildly) will be behind us. After a double Nechamah (???? ???? ???) which will prevail the Geulah, all former feelings of pain, bitterness, anger, resentment will vanish.
Besides, I thought we will not need ANY financial support…
Can random thought be thunk?
I like the way you posed your question.
And in my humble opinion I think you’re right. It’s both! As Rabbi Miller says, one should accept lovingly from HaShem – all while trying to better the circumstance. Through Tefillah, Teshuva and through physical means. It’s no ‘stira’, one is bidden to always improve his/her ‘matzav’ while at the same time knowing that what CANNOT be changed, is intended by HaShem for some specific reason. For our benefit.
Interesting question. Hmm.. I forgot. It happened so long ago.. I vaguely remember…
Didn’t you write eons ago you were going to throw a virtual chanukas habais party for women only…
Is that a question! Or an answer?
W/B Eclipse. (another resurrection?)
How are you reading and posting without the use of your computer?
the last one
“thank you in advance”
Actually it’s a middah tova – to be makir tova and always acknowledge and thank for any favor or benefit received.
In my humblekite, I’d suppose anger management is a biggie, I would think that’s worth a start.
“Gedolim have sat next to women on subways in Europe and America for over a century.”
1) Were there really subways in Europe?
2) Which Gadol sat next to a woman for over a century? (that’s sitting in one place for 100+ years)
“Medicine to become a gadol”
Isn’t that growth hormone therapy?
