“Please be Dan Likaf Zechus, it was probably not the first time a girl dumped him if he smelled so bad, and that also explains why he was still dating when a rav”
I think hes talking about a seperate Rav.
real gematrias – such as the ones brought down by the Gra and Baal HaTurim for example, are definitely true. In fact, the gra’s gematrias aren’t limited to simply additive ones; he also uses advanced math like calculus. (He has a gematria for Pi from the words of the pasuk describing the dimensions of the Kiyor in Nach – it’s beyond cool). Furthermore, gematrias play an integral role in kabbalistic systems and concepts. There is a science, rules and axioms – ptretty much lost to us today – governing how gematrias work. However, nowadays, we are clueless thus the ones we invent are nothing more than cute shtick.
As a side note, Rav Henoch Leibowitz ZT”L said that one can say drush as long as the idea or concept being said is true.
“I know of a chashuv Rav who got dropped by a girl whom he felt was very promising, so he went to the pizza store, bought a whole, UNCUT pie and ate it straight”
Apparently he wasn’t so chashuv back then.
“So what about drinking away a bad date or dumping?”
Thre is a huge difference between eating a whole uncut pizza and drinking. etc.
“Personally, i think that it’s a wonderful idea”
Good to know that you’ve mastered shas uposkim that your personal opinon matters.
“you just need to recover and let loose a little”
recover, yes. Let loose – show me where there is an inyan to take a vacation from being religious. This is so crum.
“so it’s mutar”
i am simply amazed beyond words at your stunning halachic prowess.
“bishas hadchak”
how exactly is this a shas hadchak?
“Eating in the succah for shabbos bereishis is the crummest chumra in the world.”
There are many things people do that are much worse in regards to chumras.
we are unable to comprehend any of the chazals that deal with mashiach as more than concepts – ie we hava no conception of what these things will look like when they are manifest.
It is glatt mutar to lend to a guy with tons and tons and tons of interest!!!!
I heard that Rabbi Welcher is very strict in this area.
“My theory on business is that if it’s so smart and so easy, then why didn’t someone else do it first. Unless you can answer that don’t bother.”
Because human nature is a powerful force. Many people are simply too lazy to actually pursue even what appears to be a simple easy endeavor, preferring to instead rationalize why it’s so hard, it won’t work, “if it’s so smart and so easy, then why didn’t someone else do it first”, let the next guy do it, etc.
Is anybody fascinated by the legal details and procedures of the lockouts? I am. It’s such a life lesson how much meaningless intillectual stuff is out there, like our seriously messed up legal system.
Money spent on yeshiva tuition does not come out of your parnassa money alloted to you each year by HASHEM. (Mishna Berurah Hilchos Shabbos)
“But your story about his natural genius and phenomenal memory, while fascinating, in reality does nothing to inspire Avodas Hashem”
There is a book called Making of a Gadol.
“Once Moshiach arrives, I’ll have no need for the tools.”
Even after Mashiach arrives, we will still be doing mitzvos. Mashiach is not gan eden or olam haba (two very different things in their own right.)
Ideally the right strap should go to the makom ervah and the left should be a little shorter (ie not quite reaching there).
The basic steps of Mashiach and beyond:
1 – Mashiach comes before the year 6000, with enough time to have a bunch of festivals as is clearly stated by many commentaries dealing with how certain festivals will or won’t be celebrated in the times of Mashiach.
2 – The yearr 6000, the physical universe goes kaboom, and all humanity “dies” so to speak.
3 – The next 1000 years HASHEM creates a new world that will be Olam Haba.
4 – Year 7000 – Olam Haba starts.
5 – Year 8000 – New things are introduced (see weird seforim for more details. Disclaimer: you won’t understand a word of it.)
Some people surely are unaware of their emabrassment after posting in the CR. Vehamaivin Yavin.
Women are a different species alright. . .
It is truly inspiring how a question clearly belonging solely in the domain of competent Daas Torah is bandied about the masses like a sports debate. Tizku lemitzvos!!
“About a month ago, they dropped off white envelopes by everyone’s house so I went out collecting them from everyone and threw them out.”
That’s a huge mitzvah, possibly even hatzolas nefoshos. Tizku Lemitzvos.
many people in shul wear their teffillin unfortunately in ways and places that are not yotzei the mitzvah at all and yet generally nothing is said.
Some people are simply brilliant at this. Rav Henoch Leibowitz ZT”L said he knew every issue a person had just from the way he said good shabbos to him after shacharis on shabbos and his eyes.
“Not as big as some would make it out to be. It is relatively rare.”
No it’s not – recently, there was a sign out up on the yeshivas bulletin board about this and how it is a big issue more so than people would think.
dies being the operative word
This is such a useless discussion. . .
abuse is a pretty big problem today even in the frum community.
If a false prorhet should arise and command you not to follow the mitzvos. . .KILL HIM STONE HIM!!
