” Rav Shach felt a need to explain why his son turned out this way, since he didn’t feel it should have happened.”
His son gave a sorrowful hesped at the kevurah ,and mechilah for the way he turned out.
Ben-Gurion was known to have exclaimed: Better 1 neturei kartanik in Yerushalayim than 10 tzionim in Chicago.
Rav Schach did once tell a journalist from the JPost that he c/should be termed a “TZioni” as he refuses to leave Eretz yisroel for any purpose
However
“An anti-Zionist would not have called for people to vote in Israeli elections, much less found a political party.”
Anyone who claims thus is incapable of grasping subtle nuance. They presumably assume the only means to the desired ends is a bludgeon .
He told some NK once, he is as much anti tzionistic as they are.
“chasidish neighbor”
The neighbor’s name was Mr.Deutsh
His 3 sons are all big talmidei chachsmim
Logician, on the contrary, one should not consider oneself to be a rasha (Pirkei Avot 2,13).”
In most cases
For some it will help them to improve
Moderator :The chofetz Chaim said you cannot speak l”h about yourself
Wrong.
My 9th grade rebbi, who was born in 1934 and named after the chofetz Chaim,
said the chofetz Chaim
meant that with a touch of humour and as advice
Dare to find it anywhere in his sefer
Every language has it’s own horizons.It’s impossible to translate accurately from one language to another
People do the best they can
“Herzl BTW angered alot of people when Palestine was unavailble and Uganda was suggested as a jewish home instead”
The british were building the Uganda Railway through there.It was actually modern day Kenya .
(Just a happenstance,some of the worst man-eating lions the Tsavo Lions inhabit the region)
“Trotsky’s great-grandson, David Axelrod, is frum, a Kahanist and lives in a settlement.”
And another great grandson who leads a kollel at the edge of Bnei Brak
And a great granddaughter who is a very secular doctor in NY
The source I believe, although I could be wrong on this was Shlomo Lorentz, the member of Knesset who had arranged the details of the historic meeting.
Furthermore,
I was personally told by a gentle, old widower who had learned in Novardok, that he had asked the Chazon Ish whether it is proper/appropriate to say yemach sh’mo on Herzl.The Chazon Ish told him yes, albeit inadvisable in most public settings
Do you doubt the gentle Chofetz Chaim stated that Amalek also included the bolsheviksas per the kovetz ma’amarim?First and foremost Leon Trotsky?
The same Leon Trotsky who upon being expelled from the Soviet Union was beseeched by the socialist labour movement of Palestine (including the younger Ben Gurion)to come and lead them.
(He regarded their petition with derision)
IN a city in the Midwest , R’ Shmuel Berenbaum was invited to stay at the home of certain professional . There was a portrait of Theodor Herzl hanging on the wall. He requested that it be removed prior to his stay.
These men of great stature were positive/tolerant,and far from being regarded as firebrands .
R’ Shmuel Berenbaum was buried in his plot in the largely Mizrach’ish Sanhedria cemetery
However they were of iron unyielding convictions towards any who they felt led the public astray!
Avi k.,
How Convenient without context
Chazon Ish put his hand over his face when BenGurion came to converse with him because he said ‘Assur L’histakel b’nei Rasha’
So How does that fit?
There is a big difference those leading the kulturkampf ,leading movements, pushing agendas as opposed to the avg. Joe and Jane on the street
“Perseverance, secret of all triumphs”
“Courage is the greatest of all virtues, because if you haven’t courage, you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others”
The goyim we work with have been more confounded/perturbed by Orthodox meager overt responses to society’s continuous downward spiral-even if they themselves are less than paragons, than they have been to all the financial scandals in the headlines that we handwring about
Furthermore,
There have been several seforim, books and anthologies that have come on the 7 [categories of]Mitzvos in recent years.Should be recommended reading.
“Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base.. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty.”
“Man is only great when he acts from passion.”
There is a cosmic difference between when there is Kulturkampf and Global Movements pushing agenda and atmosphere as there is now,and a normative situation of an individual doing a grave sin in a vacuum (as per LU,etc.)
It becomes a sha’as Hashmad and falls furthermore under the rubric
of meisis U’meiti’ach and our defenses and reactions becomes different
Cf.Rabbi Herschel Shachter Ruling
on the push for Women Rabbis
and
Rabbi Shlomo Miller On women minyonim with tefillin
Two Rulings where the Kulturkampf are minor in comparison
“There are some indigenous peoples who never heard of the bible or if they heard of it, it came from missionaries and they might be negatively inclided towards it. Are you going to say someone who never heard of the Bible is not a Tinok Shenesba?”
The 7 mitzvos are considered to be Inherent, Natural and logical
The onus therefore is upon everyone to figure out at least the basics by themselves
The simple indigenous peoples invariably have less problem with this than enlightened urbanites for the record
“2. Who says that there is no din tinnok shenishba by Noahides?”
Gemora Makkos 6.,for one
continued..
although it does depend on the specific situation
Lilmod Ulelamaid,
The Gemora disagrees
Lilmod Ulelamaid,
If
1)The person feels some guilt
2)Doesn’t flaunt it
3)Doesn’t from umbrella with the “Rainbow” coalitions
Avi K.
1) Go on,Finish the rest of Avot
2)Wrong.Mitzraim was although similar, less egregious
“It is possible you might see someone being Mechalal Shabbos or eating at McDonalds. You are unlikely too see anyone doing averiahs specified in Vayaikra even if you suspect they are Oyver them “
There are massive differences
1)
These are of the 7 mitzvos bnei noach
2)There is no din of tinok shenishba for Noachide commandments
3)These are part of a societal or global Poretz Gidros Olam
(the first person in a shtetl to publibly be mechalel shabbos or have eaten treif would also have been a poretz geder with all that then would apply)
The Chofetz Chaim ,as is well known stated that Amalek could also includes people of Jewish extraction
He stated the bolsheviks fall under the rubric , Due to their anti religious anti societal anti family principles
He regretted that he failed to fight them with guns during the Russian Revolution
cf. kovetz ma’amarim
Persistence. Tenacity
Those are the most important values as any statesman could have told you.
See also chazal on Bamidbar 28:4 who consider it one of the three most important psukim in the Torah.
” most likey will only most likely not work, but will frequently backfire and you will pay the price”
1)In most case you are obligated anyway
” The only thing required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”
edited, again. You have been asked to change your tone and approach more than once.
Zdad,
nice means of clearing through the brush a way of retreat
What is our purpose?
Are we filing chap.11 on our mission?
Furthermore,in a yehorag va’al ya’avor situation if someone succumbs and doesn’t give up their life they are fully accountable, if they were potentially able to escape prior .We ( including you)were able to stop this movement and we still at the moment can stop parts of it if we are mentally arise and plan legally and through voting against these low lives and put in decent people, who push decent legislation.
If we don’t do this we are responsible for all their actions that come from or wrong actions or lack of actions.
Imagine if the maccabbees would have retreated to their private affairs as most jews of that era considered reasonable and realistic
“War is sorrowful, but there is one thing infinitely more horrible than the worst horrors of war, and that is the feeling that nothing is worth fighting for…”
“The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.”
zdad,
Reduced to silly jokes ,eh?
It is brought down [in two sources at least]that the egregious mortal evil of Amalek which we must battle to the death was their flaunting homosexuality
The Chofetz Chaim ,as is well known stated that Amalek also includes people of Jewish extraction
cf. kovetz ma’amarim
..Those still on the sidelines ought to bear that in mind
Avi. K,
1)Go ahead
Define what are “Bad Midot”
They were ‘Ohavim zeh es zeh’ [as their ancestor Cana’an, on his deathbed, instructed them]
2)Precise.
When they are in our midst…
While we aren’t obligated to go abroad to slay dragons for that we instead were supposed to be an unimpeachable ” City upon a hill”
We were commanded to wipe the cana’anites out!
The cana’anites ,according the Medrash and
as per archaeology ,were tolerant, pluralistic peoples’!
How come?!
“I like to celebrate peoples differneces, not their sameness”
How far does it go ?
Erev Rav,communists,pirates
An abuser puts you in ‘personal danger’ ?? How so?
You have been invariably antagonistic to Satmar or NK for having the selfish attitudes of ” any actions I would take would be solely to protect myself and others” uncaring about the good and commonweal of the jewish people as a whole

From a Top International Firm to a <nebach> local outfit run by couple of frum guys
zahavasdad,
What would you do if it was a serial murderer or serial abuser
Is it different?How so?
If you would be an are ehrliche jew ,you would if it comes to it, Move on
My cousin, had enough of the atmosphere where he worked,
downsized from a top law firm to a local mid scale firm
That would be asking too much ?
I , without hesitation did let someone like “that” know what I think of them
.. and when they’re israeli while they may wish to avoid another rendezvouz ,they respect your integrity
zahavasdad,
” I see it the proper way to behave when you meet someone”
Are you really comparing all those three?!
you have ‘come out of the closet’ where you are holding!
I , without hesitation did let someone like “that” know what I think of them
“When I use a particular term, its not meant to demean anyone, it is just stating what group they belong to. While we can all say they are Jews. We can agree a Chiloni from Tel Aviv is not the same as a Dati Leumi Settler from Kiryat Arba who is not the same as a Charedi from Bnei Brak and its not prejorative to say so “
It,of course,will depend on context, or if in speech : on tone
My entire post is intended to prove that women are unadvised to learn Torah Shebaal peh, but it is not a strict issur
It is even less than that.
In private it is to be recommended
Read Rabbi JD Bleich
DaMoshe,
Let me rephrase that:you are still partly wrong
They refused to compromise/cave with the modern and post modern world
They found how to supersede the ‘ the modern and post modern world’
DaMoshe,
People refer to colloquial usage
While you are 100% right, it is inadvisable to say thus.
Such backward twists will be surely turned by those with nefarious agendae to suit themselves

All the nostalgic lamenting for yesteryear miss the greatest disparity of all
With all the much trumpeted benefits of Artscroll And their Imitators, the world should be divided between BA and AA

The ’80s and early ’90s will go down as the Interregnum
theprof1,Excellence,
If you desire to fall for that,so be it..
The omissions are more glaring always than haskomos
If you need us so desperately to recognize it….
How Come zionists of all stripes and Mizrachistim are obsessed whether Charedim recognize the State Of Israel?
fgg
The problem with giving limited haskomos to Translators is thaT IT snowballs
There are some ,but only some, parallels to today
Jews were disproportionately active and supported communist oriented organizations in overwhelming numbers
???????? ????????????? ?????????? ??????????? ???????????
It was wrong to attempt to translate Midrash
It is a virtual churban
More important is SCOTUS !
If The President picks a moral choice than it packages all his executive actions , even harsh ones, as part of something Bigger
Merrick Garland was stubbornly blocked for a whole year
If not?!
All these actions are will just go down as crude ethnofascism
Excellence,
Of course what you wrote is correct. Proof: Some were nevi’im
However, the Shoftim are ranked in relative comparison still below their predecessors and successors and they were still chosen
Permit me to restate that:
