met someone this past Shabbos, as we were walking, who told me that a chasidish young man saw him wearing a mask and asked him, “So you still hold from corona?” Is this what it has come to? COVID will disappear based on whether we “hold” of it or not?

Israel,for example, Has three levels of jails
for regular crimes on the books is the lowest level
for terrorists and higher crimes is a higher level
then there’s the highest level in jail for the worst for example Spies
most of those don’t do anything technically illegal
now this is not to say that I’m Pro impeachment
it’s just many times those in the inside have an idea where was going on and can’t come out with it at least not for a bunch of years“Here in America we are descended in blood and spirit from revolutionaries and rebels-men and women who dared to dissent..As their heirs may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion”
Dwight D. EisenhowerFor an individual as individual To have a conscience ,
that a gentleman should be respected for his conscience,
and should vote accordingly that is the Bedrock Foundation upon which the Republic is based
I believe Romney felt also an added obligation to his father + the old Republican party that Romney remembered To vote the way he didDue to the dire need of hit hard back at the postmodern postliberal democrats
we’re in Danger of giving up and abandoning the ends for the sake of the means And completely confusing it with the ends
this is even for someone Like myself who is relieved by the general vote for acquittal
That is the case even if an element Of political calculation for Romney May have been in the vague calculus
It may be of help in a general election if it gets that far but it will be a tremendous risk for the primaries now that he alienated the base as he was well aware
those who are attacking him are no different than the anti Republic woke or totalitarian Democrats,

the fact that that skunk from South Bend Has done so extraordinarily well in the American Heartland
Everyone is rather complacent about this
alarm !?
his backers are allowing him to be as Centrist as he likes because they’re so desperate for him to make a showing and he’s so far left, so far evil, okay
let him be a Maverick, let him be a moderate ,as far as they’re concerned for other issue
and he’s pro-israel ,as he claims!?
if these are our friends we’d better off sticking With the Arabs

hal klein, your worldview may have what to offer the jewish world but not for this mileau. Do a 360 turn and pontificate to those who are less Jewishly intense than you are rather than those who are more.
To be fair Shaul Lieberman when entering an elevator with Mordechai Kaplan refused to look at him stating “asur l’histakel b’pnei rasha”
I actually enjoy AJ Heschel’s works and believe he has what to offer the world.
However, we live beyond ourselves and consider the greater frum velt and worry foremost of every possible detrimental impacthalklein,
tea in china going up or down?
free as in ‘frei’,ahhThere was only one individual in the book who attended both Berlin and Slabodka.
That was..
What was his perception of Heschel and Lieberman?
When one quoted Herschel in Yeshiva , he gave the boy a smack in the face (once there was such a thing)
Half a century ago, everyone in the frum velt considered Heschel and apikores.But deceitful revisionism posing as “open mind” is de rigueur, eh?
And what of Lieberman? He tried rigorously to dissuade him from taking the job at JTS and told him if he does he will publicly denounce him at every occasion.
When someone asked him if one is allowed to use LIeberman’s published works, his response: “Unter de tisch!”But halklein of course, “controls the future through controlling the past”
‘It seems to me that according to the Rambam, Talmud Torah 1:13, most
women don’t have the mental focus. Maybe they could if they really tried.Tell that to the women taking high-level university courses.’
It is davka for the high university level young women that “tiflus”-which by the way has at least 2 more interpretations, is more pertinent.
Furthermore it is your crowd which gets down on one knee for the Rambam and claim to build your whole view around him
but will smirk at him when it doesn’t coincide with your preset agendaftresi,
what you stated is so wrong and false where to even begin
our sages have stated so many quotes, Principles, and analogies in outright opposition to that assertionStart With Avos
Torah is one of the greatest Mitzvot , this is only if one has _Yirat Shamiym_, fear of heaven.
The Gemara (1) says that when one is being judged after passing away, they ask 6 questions.
After the list of questions, the Gemara says, “and even if one did all the above things, if they had fear of heaven, great. If not, what will all these things help?”
The Meiri writes on the above Gemara that Yirat Shamiym is the most important thing. It is everything, and has everything in it. Ones resurrection in techiat ha’meteem is dependent on it.
If one doesn’t end up having Yirat Shamiym, it would have been better to not have been born, and not have learned Torah.
The Shulchan Aruch (2) rules that a Talmid Chacham that treats Mitzvot lightly and doesn’t have Yirat Shamiym is considered like a low level member of the congregation.
Our Sages (3) teach us, an unlearned person with Yirat Shamiym, is preferable then a Talmid Chacham without Yirat Shamiym.
The Chayeh Adam (4) teaches that one must learn Sefarim on Yirat Shamiym every day, even if you will have to lessen your other studies.
The Gemara (5) says that Rebbi Yehuda HaNasi had 2 sons, Shimon & Gamliel. Shimon was a bigger Talmid Chacham, but Gamliel had Yirat Shamiym like his forefathers. For that reason Raban Gamliel became the next leader of the Jewish people!

sorry G H & YabiaMrs. Debbie
are you trolling
for one who claimed that lieberman Is attempting to bring Unity the people of Israel and the haredim are the ones in the wayis your concern only limited to ethnocentric circles ?

Only from his mother’s side
that side seem to have raised him in Warsaw

Ironic isn’t it

even assuming this dubious claim has basisSome of those types otherwise affiliate with the Litvishe-Yeshivishe world, but,maybe inject some variety into their lives perhaps they are on a too narrow contemporary Litvishe spiritual diet
Moshiach will be a Misnaged. Why? Because he will come and say kaddish, and he will not say ויצמח פורקניה ויקרב משיחיה (because if Moshiach has already arrived, it will be out of place, anachronistic, to say it). So that proves he is a Litvak, and not a Chassid
What do you call a non Chassid?
Some people use the term Litvak. However, that leaves something to be desired, as there are Chassidim that are of Litvak roots. Chassidic groups such as Karlin, Slonim, and Lubavitch, are of such background. And there are misnagdim that are of non Litvish background as well. On the other hand, some prefer it, as it sounds sort of neutral, non-threatening, and non confrontational. It just means that the person comes from Lita, where the standard form of Judaism was not Chassidic. Some people use Litvish instead of Litvak, Litvish meaning that they follow the way of Lita, even if not from there or that background.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, stated that there are no Misnagdim today, just ניט חסידים . What he meant with that claim was that some non Chassidim today don’t really actively oppose Chassidism, or know why they are not part of it. They just know that that is not their background.
Although that is incorrect (Misnagdim still exist and they cannot be wished away, even if a Chassid would like to imagine that they don’t exist), there is something to that.
The last term, Misnaged, clearly indicates that a person is opposed to Chassidism.
I kept out of the for a while there’s no question Ashkenazim were more intellectual and that goes even the Middle Ages as well when they influenced even Spanish jewry

is worth having this thread just to get ” input from both rabbanim and askanim with daas torah as to how they should”
from you of all people On the one hand
while on the other
incorrect thoroughly
Agudah has claimed to be far bigger than their own organization &
the morning after the event they will do so again
they always claim that they’re just a means
they’re not a self-perpetuating Organization just in of itself!
and people have given their Blood Sweat and toil for them because of that
and they become what they become because of those people!
but then though the Company party turn around & are allowed to use this
trope when it suits them?!ziongate,etc.,
he may be eccentric but he’s entitled to his seemingly sincere opinion and so are the others
Do you have any basis for your allegations against Joseph
changing monikers so quickly is not that easy‘The paradox of outrage.
We believe that at the core of reality there lies a G-d who is essentially good and cares for each one according to his or her needs, guiding each one to the right path, punishing wickedness and rewarding goodness in fair and equal measure. And so, over and over we are outraged–because what we experience flies in the face of this entire belief.
Yet, if we abandon either pole of the paradox, we might as well have never been born. If we learn to ignore the existence of the evil , finding some justification for G-d or simply hiding our heads in the sand–then for what purpose were we placed in such a world? To leave it as we found it? And what kind of a G-d have our justifications created?
But if we should surrender our G-d, concluding that, “there is no Judge and therefore no justice”–then what value does my life have? What value does any life have? And what, then, is the point of all the outrage?
This is the drama created by a G-d entirely beyond any form of understanding–a drama powered by the agonizing tension of paradox.“concept of Reform praying for our destruction. That sounds like a fabrication. In don’t agree with their ways but I don’t hate them.”
And what of the hellenists of two Millennia ago would you say the same
care to explain the differenceThey pray-whatever the term might be worth
against our Redemption which is hardly different
More so
the goal is against everything that we have stood for and stand for since the beginning of creation and into the future – irrespective of the average paying member who is ignorant is aware ofis that worse than Than those who endanger us
” the rest of the Open “Orthodox”are much worse than even the Reform reshoyim.”
Undoubtedly agree
Neturei Karta do have a basis in Judaism however cracked they end up coming
whether you like it or not“his is the same economics of every sports team trying to sell seats to their sporting events. ”
cute attempt though
wouldn’t Agudah be in horror if that is how the public will perceive the scope of the oncoming event??“Money is needed” for what ?? self perpetuating ?
It’s wonderful to be good and positive & this is no knock on the old timers who still give of themselves
however
I Have been involved in various klal developments that we allowed them to claim credit forapushatayid,
“A cheap shot”
really?
this is no longer your grandfather’s organization” They are already charging VERY high prices to those in the better seats (well above cost) to subsidize folks like you who kevetch about $100 tickets”.
How come how come they didn’t have such problems with previous events
eh?per the rav of Brisk ‘Those who claim to be the greatest ohavim,are the greatest son’im’
The short answer however is yes
though it’s hard on occasion Not to have some empathy for anti-semitesa concept started on Frankfort jewry & expanded elsewhere called Ersetzestrau
That is is fealty to the law of Judaism as codified but not to the Medrash
now all this is too far and I hope no one is claiming that much
however one has to start with the base
and the base is severity of the punishment as far as we are concerned in this world
not in terms of some metaphysical spirituality
the base is the severity of punishment determinesSecond:
a positive commandment one only has to pay one-third of his wealth to fulfill
a negative commandment must give away every drop of his possessions to avoid overriding
Plus
something which is obligated in death penalty or Kares
a positive commandment generally( though there are exceptions) does not override it it while positive
commandment do override a regular negative commandment
there is definitely a permanent structure that is based on punishment
We follow the severity of punishment and terms of structure a priori
everything else is in a non-tangible sense and not really, related to and shouldn’t override our perspective
And even in terms of all the exception stated previously“Before we know it, In 5 & 1/2 years this nonstop promotion machine will start ”
Furthermore
the world is changing
the change is accelerating and whatever one thinks it will be
it is extremely unlikely ‘ll be anything similar in half decade
And advertising and Fiddling is the preference takes the place instead of doing which can be done to stymie this changeFirst of all the earlier siyumim of 1990 ,1997 and 2005
the anticipating atmosphere was organic if one recalls
originally Agudah had no sense of how much the atmosphere would breed
and that they had to expand venues more than previously assumed
today it is the reverse
they bombard on top of us from on high to attendI lost my interest and I do not intend to show up
second
The last one virtually every pause there consistently were such constant incessant clapping
it ruined the atmosphere of what should be the Lasting Impressions of the
the whole eventThe op-ed in a nutshell Is On Target completely

אִלּוּ לֹא הָיְתָה סְקִילָה חֲמוּרָ
The edifice superstructure of Halacha is built on severity of punishment
and this refutes your contention Remarkablythe very Foundation which everything else upon Is Avoda zara
therefore it is taken as given by the sages that that it had to be on the very pinnacle in terms of punishment otherwise the whole system pyramid wouldn’t have systemic structure what to stand upon
cf.Ramban sefer hamitzvos et alone thing as absolute and that is Judaism is in no way a laissez-faire ; anything goes do it ;don’t tell me how to live- religion
While they may be much latitude in determining when and where rebuke ought to be givengadolh,
showing your utter ignorance, again
it is an explicit gemaraKesubos I believe
According to
men can never claim marriage Acquisition were
under false premises if his new spouse has a bodily defect anywhere on her body If he had female relatives in the same locality
that this is due to that his female relatives were supposed and
the onus was upon them to notice prior to the marriage in the merchatzwhenever he has potential of coming There’s a big caveat if he doesn’t he moved further away from us
mentsch1,
a lofty person actually said it’s potentially worse than the HolocaustWhat about those who burned tefillin in the Warsaw Ghetto
“By gentiles “the females do also,so..?
” its a machloikes you and Dovid Hamelech”
ubiquitin has an agenda and draws the Target around it
Preposterousa) show source to say that it was rape it could just as easily been consensual
b)there’s a major element that it was because it was a married woman (even with a conditional Get)
that was issue not rape
c) the fact that we compare it to stealing a sheep goes to show that that metaphor stealing in essence is at least as bad if not worsebut why let facts that stand in the way
Golden,Etc.
And what of musical Kinos ?
that as well or you would agree that better to cancel them“Rape is mostly an emotional crime..”
are you going to acknowledge what a slippery slope that is
one random example Nazi criminals
people say got to get over it
get over the emotion it’s time to forgive after all once there’s no right or wrong who is to decide what’s right and wrong
the media
the whims of the public So you’re willing to admit that your decision how you judge crime is completely subjective
this is holding a discussion having a sad vacuum
Anyone who knew the great men and women of past
any cognizant the atmosphere wouldn’t be having this altogetherMoreso those who have sensitivity to the ones who wrote the selichos that it was not meant to be done on the guitar and they would rather have just erase them all
golden,
false
bad character traits also are inherently not an aveira
yet in some cases we can say that can even be worse than
