    Reb Eleizer
    And Shlomo2 too,
    Am I missing something here?
    The man is a practising Mormon, probably from the few remaining עובדי אלילים
    I don’t think his religious ferver is something to be extolled here.
    ??????? ר אליעזר!!!! חסידי עומות העולם
    ה ישמרינו! זה רק מי שמשתדל לטובת ישראל לא סתם עובד אליל המאמין בתפלותו בחזקה

    You wrote
    however as in the case above you responded while on afterburner and thus clarity was lost…
    That’s exactly what I meant by women being more emotional.
    When you respond with emotion you often lose clarity
    Doesn’t make you necessarily wrong
    Doesn’t make you dumb
    But it’s often a cause of seeming so.

    G H and Shlomo2,
    What your saying is actually a huge condemnation on Romney.
    He despises him, perhaps properly, for his immoral lifestyle. So he found a place to publicly censure him.
    Remember an immoral lifestyle is not impeachable.
    To vote to impeach when the charges don’t hold up, because you despise him even rightly so, for other reasons, is pure corruptness. And when it’s known that you don’t get along with the man and have been slighted by him many times, it’s also revenge.
    So basically you are going on record that Romney is a
    Petty, corrupt, revengeful, Opportunist.
    Totally true but not exactly what I want as a role model for my kids

    Do you see what he did here?
    He spoke negatively about a future activity, based on normal observation of his surroundings, piling on לאו after לאו without stopping to maybe be דן לכף זכות those people who are going to the schmooze group because ”we are not the Chazon ish we can’t be expected to learn all day.
    Casting aspersions on regular jews.
    Seeing negative before it takes place.

    I’d really love to know who this anonymous halacha knower is and what he based his decision on.
    I know he is clearly arguing on the Chafetz Chaim

    She didn’t like Joseph’s assertion that a group of Jews were beyond redemption and would surely sin.”
    👍🏻
    Is that like a Christian expression?
    And besides here again is Josef post

    People rationalize all sorts of aveiros; so expect a litany of excuses here why this aveira is okay and why this aveira (pritzus and whole list of worse things) “really” isn’t such an aveira. Or that one day a year is okay to take a break from not doing aveiros.

    Where does he say
    People are beyond redemption??

    What are you even talking about?

    There is nothing wrong with positing that ”frum jews ” will sin provided you are not claiming it on any specific person or identifiable people.
    The gemorah does it.
    The gemorah actually does even more
    ג דברים אין אדם ניצול בכל יום מיעוטן בגזל, רובם בעריות , וכולם באבק לשון הרע
    Lonely translated there are three things people don’t get saved from daily.
    Some Steal
    Many transgress on illicit activities
    And everyone with a touch of לשון הרע
    It’s talking about religion jews
    It’s saying that they sin. Daily.

    I’m not following your circular issue at all so I have no comment.

    Search all galaxies? Actually why not. Rabbi Hutner famously said, the Reason God created crooked minds is to be able to judge favorably.
    Especially here, where the favorable option is just that he holds of the simple reading of mainstream Halacha. I would not exactly call that ”searching the galaxies ”

    i hear
    but i would contend that as the posters here are anonymous, it is not the same as casting aspersions on a person or defined group
    but i can hear your position
    however i keep falling back on the position that since there is a bening way to view his comment, she should have done so at least according to her logic and worldview

    Not sure what it means I reached far
    I am familiar with halacha. I know you are wrong based on what you have presented.
    The only difference between my position and the anonymous source you are quoting is that I have explained where I’m coming from and how I reached my conclusion as opposed to just declaring.
    Other than that I guess it’s a machlokes.
    But once again, once there are different opinions, you need to judge Josef favorably that he did nothing wrong with making his post.

    To elaborate a bit further
    Were I to state ”all people who drink coffee are over many sins every time they drink it because coffee is a drug and it’s unhealthy so they are not watching their health ”
    You can easily argue with my contention, and prove that the torch allows one to drink coffee and therefore they are doing nothing wrong.
    And having proved your position, I would be incorrect in my assertion.
    But I have not been over on judging people favorably.
    Judging favorably simply means when you see someone do something that no the surface looks incorrect, you should try to mitigate the wrongness in your mind and try to explain it away as much as you can possibly do so that you don’t have a negative opinion of a specific person or group of people.

    Participant

    Yes I agree to your rendering of what Josef said. No need to sound the exact words.
    However my point is,
    You cannot ”point” to anyone, to say he spoke negatively about them.
    In my hypothetical examples, In the first case the fellow has tarred ”all” satmar. Hence he has made an accusation on specific people. That is wrong.
    In the second example he has openly tarred a specific group.

    Here, who has he tarred?
    All jews?
    Not at all!
    He specifically stated its only the sinners that he is referencing.
    Who are they?
    Nobody can point a finger and say he meant that guy.
    He meant nobody specific.
    As soon as someone goes ahead and does the act, yes In retrospect he meant ”him ”
    But at that point there is no issue judging because (and here the second issue needs to be brought to bear) it is OK to judge a person who knowingly does something wrong, negatively.
    (even if you personally were to want to be stringent in the issue, and hold like those who say you can judge everyone favorably, he has the right to hold like those who say in such a case it’s actually forbidden to judge favorably. So here there is a clear way to judge someone (Josef) favorably for an act that In your eyes is wrong. Simply by granting him the right to hold by those who pasken that it would be forbidden to do otherwise)
    As I said before, as a proof to his correctness, I brought a piece from the Chafetz Chaim where he does the exact same thing.
    He writes in his sefer that those who sit and talk between mincha and Mariv instead of using the time to learn, end up committing a whole list of severe sins.
    Is there any material difference between saying that and saying anyone who watches the super bowl commits a whole list of sins?
    Anyone who defends watchers of the super Bowl commits a whole list of sins?
    We see from the quoted Chafetz Chaim that it is OK to say anyone who does…. Commits a whole list of sins.
    If it’s good enough for the Chafetz Chaim, I suspect it’s good enough for Josef.
    So as I said I now understand where you were coming from but I think you are wrong

    in reply to: Hashkafah on watching the Super Bowl #1829007
    klugeryid
    Participant

    OK
    Now we have clarity.
    I am not sure why you would think that but at least now I hear what you were trying to say
    Probably what you learned was referring to a specific group. Meaning One of two things
    1) all satMar do….. So that would be wrong because you are casting aspersions on a specified group of people
    2) see that group over there? They…….
    That would also be wrong. And really for the same reason.
    Basically your negative conjecture is landing on an undeserved recipient.
    (I’m not sure where judging favorably comes in, In those scenarios as you are not ”judging ”
    By definition, judging takes place after the fact)

    In this case though, Josef did nothing of the sort. He spoke about those who watch or defend those who watch.
    So here the group has self rejected.
    He has made a judgement call about an act.
    If he is correct that it’s an abhorrent act, then anyone who chooses to do that act, has chosen to enter that group.
    If he is wrong, well then call him out on his judgement by explaining why he is wrong.
    But the key is that he was not judging people.

    (this is leaving out the whole other topic of whether it’s proper to judge someone who is clearly knowingly doing something wrong, favorably)

    I did say there were those who did not take the view that it is forbidden. I didn’t remember who. I guess it was the c c himself.
    Thank you for your compliments.
    As you yourself pointed out. I usually ignore personal insults and I don’t report to them either as, as we both know they add nothing to a discussion.
    In this case I just saw it was going nowhere fast and I thought maybe it would shake her up to respond rationally in order to disprove my point.
    It seems not to have worked though.

    i didnt say exactly that there is no chiyuv dan likaf zechus
    i said and i have sources (starters in the chafetz chaim ) that an average person doing something which has greater than 50% odds of being wrong, one does not need to judge them favorably. a straight reading of the chafetz chaim actually says its forbidden to judge them favorably, but there are those who argue on his understanding of the source)
    so in this discussion where we are really just discussing an idea, as there are no specific people being discussed, its difficult to fathom why or by what right one would look to judge favorably people who choose to walk past the door of the house of ill repute

    syag i assume you are reffering to this?

    but I am always amazed at the free pass you give yourself to talk this way about klal Yisroel

    as much as your thrill to denigrate.

    you obviously haven’t caught yourself up on the halacha, or more likely you didn’t bother checking what was going on in the thread to see if your sermon applies.

    kluger- thank you so much for your diatribe.

    If you wipe your drool and read back

    You do understand the concept of before and after, right?

    There is alot of verbiage in your latest comment. I don’t have the strength to pick through it all. But a few.
    I spewed? How would one tell the difference in written words?
    I didn’t stick to facts? Exactly what did I say that was conjecture?

    You are making all sorts of assumptions about my comment, starting with stating that I am not interested in hearing what you have to say, then you tell me that I’m the one who is not sticking to facts.
    Years ago from the tone and content of some of your comments I thought you were a man. When you posted at some point that you are a woman I was not sure if you were playing.

    Wow syag not sure what set you off like. That.
    I wiped my drool and I went back and reread his post.
    Here it is in its entirety

    ”People rationalize all sorts of aveiros; so expect a litany of excuses here why this aveira is okay and why this aveira (pritzus and whole list of worse things) “really” isn’t such an aveira. Or that one day a year is okay to take a break from not doing aveiros.”

    Where is he badmouthing ”כלל ישראל”?
    He is talking (so it states) about those who will defend waiting this filth. That’s it.
    And he is clearly posting in a (properly in my opinion) derogatory manner about THOSE WHO WILL DO SO.
    Nowhere can I find that he insinuates even, that this applies to the entirety of our nation.
    Please show me which words in the comment I copied say otherwise.
    Yes I’m listening.
    What’s with the cotton balls?
    I don’t have a first set so I’m not yet up to getting, another.
    Maybe you should be dan me likaf zechus that I am honestly interested in a real exchange of ideas.
    Or does the fact that I defended Josef (whom I do not know personally, nor do I even know who he is) exclude me from that mitzvah as well?

    And another thing why does judging favorably always end when it comes to Joseph supposed. It seems that one comes to Joseph. There’s no commandment to judge favorably. How interesting could it perhaps be because Joseph makes people uncomfortable so they go on the defensive. When people see others Sending to God. It doesn’t bother them. So they are very quick to spout the judge favorably line. However, as soon as it becomes personal and they feel like somebody perhaps it’s attacking them they forget about the whole business with judging favorably and immediately, they start condemning and insulting very very interesting

    Syag.
    What exactly did Joseph say that was so bad that you publicly excoriated him. I mean specifically on this thread. You condemned him for not judging favorably.
    Who? Who did he not judge favorably??
    He was not talking about anyone specific.
    He was talking about the general idea of people who watch this dirt and then excuse it or try to kosher it up.
    It’s actually forbidden to make excuses for such behavior.
    See the Chafetz Chaim in sefer Chafetz Chaim where he excoriates those who sit between מנחה ומעריב On Shabbos and just talk where he enumerate a laundry list of sins that they commit. What happened to judging favorably? Why would he not? Judge, those people favorably and said, he’s very clearly rights for posterity that they are sinners tremendous Sinners and list of their entire list of sins.

    Additionally the gemara states that one who walks past a house of ill repute and says I will walk past and I will not look If there was another way that he could walk he is. is a RAsha . I ask you is there any greater modern-day equivalent of this ??
    and somebody who says I will watch the Super Bowl but I will turn off the halftime show. I will not look at the commercials is that not exactly somebody who voluntarily is walking past a house of ill repute and saying I won’t look at the indecent sites.??
    So the gemara call him a Rasha It does not say judge him favorably.

But not the way you view it a Serial adulterer who leaves public policy alone in my opinion is a lot more beneficial for the moral fabric of our country than somebody who like ,Obama, for example example, in his personal life at least during the eight years of his presidency had no morality failings.
    Yet his policies of rainbow inclusion for alphabet soup degenerates (lbgtq…) and redefinition of marriage make him in my opinion an amoral scumbag lower than old dirt.
    Whereas trump can adulterate himself to purgatory, doesn’t make him an amoral person.. Just a ‘baal tavah ‘
    And honestly as a non Jew what exactly did he do so bad??
    Just visceral hate.

    You know what part of the issue is?
    People who think ANY of the umos haolam are role models.
    So along comes someone like this and they can pretend to become champions of morality to cover for their personal animus towards him.
    Realize that our role models are our rabbanim and all we need is politicians who don’t hurt us. Kal vachomer if their policies are good for us (like trump)
    And by the way, if you want to know how you can have trump be a role model, if you really need to. View him a a ”Baal teshuva”
    All the moral failings he is called out for are old. In the white house he has had no moral failings, unlike a hero called Billy boy who’s enables wife was championed as the one who should be president now by the very ones who shout about trumps moral failings.
    He has been nothing short of a ruthless businessman with his business being the United States.
    He is not a Jew. Don’t hold him to the Torah standards for jews

    Perhaps the allies wanted him out. But why did Biden get involved??
    Was it Maybe because he had a personal interest to keep his son out of trouble?? Hmmmm.where have I heard such a thing before?
    Casting aspersions, on someone making allegations with zero proof, just someone’s conjecture .
    I don’t know , where have I heard such a thing before ?
    you think maybe such things would be impeachable?

    Oh! Wait you say. There is no proof that his son ever would have been the subject of an investigation? Ah that must be it.
    Cause in the hypothetical case you are loaded with proof of his intent I get it.
    What a foolish position

    OK Reb Eleizer.
    Even though no offense was meant, I read the article you alluded to.
    Typical liberal white wash. Exactly as I suspected it would be. The more so since you were pushing me to read it and knowing your general positions
    But once I read it, a few comments if I may. I’ll put my comments in caps to differentiate from the text of the article.

    But sources ranging from former Obama administration officials to an anti-corruption advocate in Ukraine say the official, Viktor Shokin, was ousted for the opposite reason Trump and his allies claim. MAJOR SOURCE THERE. OBAMA OFFICIALS AVER THAT BIDEN DID NOTHING WRONG AND TRUMP IS LYING. WOW. NOW I’M CONVINCED. TOTALLY.

    You saw the vice president begin to emerge as really sort of the senior policy lead on Ukraine,” Pifer said. “It’s good to have attention at that level.” UM, CT LAWYER? DON’T VICE PRESIDENTS DO NOTHING? NOT LIKE LEAD POLICY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

    Burisma Holdings was not under scrutiny at the time Joe Biden called for Shokin’s ouster, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, an independent agency set up in 2014 that has worked closely with the FBI.SO NOW WE ARE TRUSTING A RANDOM BUREAU IN UKRAINE TO ESTABLISH FACTS, TO GO FORWARD AND IMPEACH OUR PRESIDENT.

    Shokin’s office had investigated Burisma, but the probe focused on a period before Hunter Biden joined the company, according to the anti-corruption bureau. RIGHT. AND THE DECISION TO HIRE BIDEN JR WAS MADE IN ABOUT TWENTY MIN. THE DAY BEFORE HE STARTED WORKING THERE. SO IF THIS PROBE WAS FOCUSED ON THE TIME RIGHT BEFORE BIDEN STARTED WORKING THERE, THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN CONNECTED.

    happy now? I read the article
    Rating whitewash and snow job.

    I asked a simple question. Biden held back money because of supposed corruption in a foreign country, he is lauded.
    Trump is accused of holding up money to a foreign country because of corruption, he is impeached.
    And a reasonable person is supposed to think it’s not a revenge job by sore losers (especially when they have been promising to find a reason to impeach him since the day he was elected)

    No. I don’t believe one word of what they write so I didn’t bother looking for it

    GH.
    Firstly, you win the prize. An actual rational response. I gave up on that happening.
    I wouldn’t say ”never In our history …”
    We just had Obama and his obeisance tour of the worlds despots.

    Again. Though. If it’s OK to use our countries money to leverage our position, I don’t see what’s wrong with doing so when it also serves my purposes.
    Had he said, if you don’t smear the bidens then I won’t give you the money, well that would be corruption.
    But here he maximum said, I believe the bidens had corrupt dealings in your country. If you won’t investigate, no more cash. What is wrong?????

    Amazing let’s recap our rational logic defenses
    Rebbe Debbie doesn’t support Biden. (how that answers the question escapes me) rating? Dodge
    Reb Eleizer sends me to a USA today article. As if I’ll get objective reporting there. Rating , passing the buck
    CT lawyer goes on a verbal tear throwing in who knows what And in the process teaching me much that I was unaware of.
    Such as that the Ukrainian prosecutors work for the United States federal government? Otherwise I fail to understand how that comment is Germain. Additionally, thanks for letting us know that mr. Biden is an out-and-out liar as mr. Biden clearly stated that it was him acting on the say-so of his boss the president of the United States Mr Obama , sending out the message that if they don’t fire the prosecutor then the billions in money will not come if I remember correctly he gave him a time frame of just a few hours by the time I get on the plane I better hear that the prosecutor was fired .but Mr CT lawyer avers that this took place after Obama left office.
    Unless somehow the ukrainians we’re unaware of that this was post election and Obama was no longer president .
    I don’t know I’m still unclear on that after Mr lawyers post.
    Rating, obfuscation
    Reb yid pleads insanity on behalf of another.while it’s probably true, it’s not really comforting, being as he is talking about the democrat front runner to be president. Rating, true but damning

    Reb Eleizer comes back for more but this time I’m totally lost as to his point. Rating , ramble

    Billywee plays the Hillary card ”who cares. It’s over ”
    Only problem with that is trump can really say the same thing.
    Rating, 50-50

    In summation. Nobody from the vocal left on this forum has actually put forth any defense for the glaring hypocrisy.
    I rest my case.

    OK say it your way. Makes it even simpler.
    Those charaydim who choose to serve, the medina (sic) should have no issue with.
    And those who claim complete exemption, are by your own definition mentally unfit to serve.
    Comes out 100 % of charadim who are fit to serve, do so.
    So what’s the big issue about charadim not serving???

    CT you write as if there is a value in a college education besides giving you the skills to ”succeed ” In life.
