I don’t know ask EH. That m”r is not talking about what im talking about.

Sam first of all I think mens and womens shirts are different in any case. This has been a minhag for years and years dont know with which specific livushim though but possibly with shirts. The burden is on you to prove why continuing to wear clothes you have been wearing for forever fall under lo silbash. Its not mistaber bichlal. I hope you have a source because to just say its a serious safeik is a very controversial way of saying things and thinking. Did you ever even bounce it off some mavinim before formulating your opinion or you just relied on yourself? Because if not I think saying something like “I honestly think” is a bit too presumptious.

First of all i would assume he was talking about gaining ahavas yisroel from reading these stories after all that was the relevance of these stories to the 9 days. Second of all your response consequentially made a further reaching assumption than the scope of YWs comment which i adressed in my response.

Sam I dont see why you ever have to think a rishon or acharon is (completely!) wrong (though i see it done sometimes by emmese poskim (quite often with apparent hesitation and respect) but its not a proof for anybody else, even talmidei chachomim) you can always instead say i dont understand (that doesnt mean they are right though, they might be wrong) what hes saying and leave it at that without implying right or wrong and still follow your own line of thinking (unless you are being don din liatzmo (where in addition to other factors there is a hisarvus of pniyos and adam korov eitzel atzmo)). It makes a difference because first of all its quite likely that you are mistaken (kinire bchush) and its obviously important to give somebody who is much smarter and more knowledgeable than you especially when they took the effort of trying to be asuki shmaata aliba dihilchisa and obviously made thorough research as much as they could possibly do, because of their daiga of not being mateh the rabim the benefit of the doubt. Since that happens to be the case it also has the quality of anivus and bittul and somebody who doesnt think that way is not makir mikomo (and mikom hagdolim) and is a baal gaavah. If it seems to be an obvious and inconsequential distinction know that its actually very significant, because even if you would somehow taaneh either way is a true way to look at it, the fact is, we are talking about talmidei chachomim here who you have to approach with kovod, therefore surely in your speech and even in your thoughts this is the right approach.

In your most recent post you even seem to backtrack a little yet you still said what you said in previous post.

Pcoz I was not talking about being a shoteh that Halacha would exonerate or American law, and I assume that EzratHashem wasn’t either, I was talking about comparing somebody whose Teva is more inclined towards wrongdoing than somebody else or whose circumstances effected a greater tendency towards evil than someine else’s. And I’m not neccessarily able to read books on one foot. Maybe you could have explained the distinction in short in addition to reffering the book.

Sam where do you get it from that America has to follow Rav Moshe’s Psak? Didnt you yourself say that sometimes the Tzibbur is clearly not noiheg like him? What would determine that if not for not following his Psak from the get go? And there are plenty of reliable Achronim who preceded that argue with Rav Moshe sometimes.

Pcoz, Sam is probably not talking about a true interpersonal relationship.

I think yeshivish got it right. So nobody gets confused the left side is midas hadin, I’m sure that’s what you meant.

I have noticed this trend recently and I think its appalling. I’m a bit disgusted to find bnai torah so concerned with how their friends will see their wits.

In my days it was good enough that a guy be a big baal midos, a huge baal chassed, a gargantuan machshiv torah, and most importantly to be his friends biggest fan. Unfortunately, today eichah a guy like that is yushvuh buddud. The dor we live in is a terrible dor. In fact its the worst dor i ever lived in. I spit on this dor.

I am talking about bnai torah who seem more concerned about what their friends will think when they see their wits than whether it is the right way to utilize it for THEM.

One can just imagine the thoughts going through his mind as he types his mind-bending chapp on yeshivawn/cr on tuesday morning:

“Look at me. Look who I am. I’m such a baal mussar. I’ve spent years toiling in torah, working on myself to get to this point. I think only of pnimius. I deserve a post everyone will look at and know that I will be the next gadol hador. I’m such a troll.”

According to Tosfos would you be yotze bchol with tfillas shabbos bdieved?

Haleivi what is the full 18 brochos fixing?

Yeah right.

Does Tosfos hold there is no issue with Tashlumin friday night for erev Shabbos mincha? Why would that be different than missing out hazkoras shabbos by shabbos mincha which can’t be fixed?

This doesnt have to be “the way it is”. Most of us are here because it takes so long to moderate and when we come back to see if there is a response it takes forever for it to appear so were still waiting. And commenting is not sometimes slow its always slow. And just because some people are here because its moderated doesnt mean it cant be improved.

Whether people are right ot wrong to think Gedolim are infallible, dont compare to avi avos hatuma chas vishalom and dont say such unbased things like its kimat kfira. All it is is a well meaning mistake if anything. How in the world is it kfira to think gedolim are infallible? Dont let your heart run out before you and then conform your opinions with your emotianal impulse. And this should be really obvious, when it comes to Hashkafa, we dont give a darn if the rest of the world does it if its emes. There is absolutely no reason to assume that this (true or untrue) way of thinking comes from goyim lihavdil anyways. If you had even a bit of Ahavas Yisroel or common sense you wouldnt have let this shtus enter your head.

How many Jews aren’t there and whats the world population? 😉

How many times can I say Hoshia Es Amecha?

How many Jews should I not count?

Nisht um Yidden geredt. How many Challos?

“You actually think that a rasha mrusha and apikorus gomur, from the beginning of his life until his dying breath. who is killed because he is Jewish, is going to Gan Eden?”

Do you actually think this is what we are dealing with here?

And in answer to your question, eventually, yes.

I’m not sure anyone said that MDG.

557- I see what you’re saying. My comment about ignoring posts still stands though, just not about you.

In my opinion though, with “perish” and “like in egypt.. only 1/3 made it out” and “there is no tomorrow for many of us” repharim indicated there is no future, period.

557 dont necessarily assume that all -Jews- wont make it especially after reading my comment.

There seems to be a trend of ignoring relevant posts against someones opinion posted afterward without directly addressing it.

Let me bring another posuk: ?”? ??, ??) ???? ?????? ????? ??? ???? ???)

Here’s a somewhat insightful story:

The Ohalei Yosef, Reb Eliyahu Yosef Rivlin, became severely ill. The doctors couldn’t find a cure and eventually gave up and said there isn’t much time and his life is in danger. His sickness was such that in the Shulchan Aruch the Beis Yosef and the Rama argue about it if it happened to an animal. The Beis Yosef is Machshir and the Rama is Matrif.

Reb Eliyahu Yosef said: I’ve found for myself a Takana. I’ll travel to Eretz Yisroel where the Beis Yosef is the “Mara Diasra” and there the Halacha will be like him.

He set out at once for Eretz Yisroel where he lived for twenty years more.

Do they really want the Chareidim to take over the army too?

2scents, the question is, why does anyone pay attention to things like spelling when the point in the post is the content? Its not relevant. I think spellcheckers should be called out for being trolls. Unless every other word is spelled wrong.

Why is almost everything for a good seminary and shidduch at all, not to be the best you you can possibly be?

“Moshiach doesn’t just “come” and solve all our problems.”

There were no maybes there.

In any case, to add to this thread, let me quote from the end of the Rambam:

The Sages and the prophets did not yearn for the Messianic era in order to have dominion over the entire world, to rule over the gentiles, to be exalted by the nations, or to eat, drink, and celebrate. Rather, they desired to be free to involve themselves in Torah and wisdom without any pressures or disturbances, so that they would merit the world to come, as explained in Hilchot Teshuvah.

Sam that’s also true but its not a contradiction to what I said. Did you see the quote “WERE NOT ON THAT MADREIGA!” in the post to which i was responding? But it seemed to me that the writer had in mind what i was addressing.
