Cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is the wrong direction.
There is an argument what עם means. Which one is the ikar and which one is the tofal, Torah or derech eretz, work.
You are uninformed, so I will inform you. They have 7 mitzvos to keep having a bechira on these. Many say that currently they don’t worship avoda zara because they follow the customs inherited from their ancestors. The Rambam says that the pious from them gain the next world to come.
In effect you are paying the Republicans for nothing and wiiling to waste the money of the tax payers.
The government does not consider a child a property to sell. You yourself are forbidden to commit suicide according the Torah. Slavery and human traficking is forbidden and we say on this דיני דמלכותא דיני.
Derech Eretz kodmoh Latorah is the Fifth Volume of Shulchan Aruch, proper behavior. Yaffe talmud torah im derech eretz, even though it can be the same to act properly to others when learning not call them any deragotory names, the meforshim say it is work.
Health, you are emphasizing muslem giving the inpression that they are all responsible. How would you like it if things were reversed and they would call it Jewish Terrorism?
Your appeasing Trump like Neville Chamberlin did the Nazis.
Health, Obama did not want to accuse all islamic people who did not commit terrorism, as I mentioned above, that creates more terrorism.
CS, The Chasan Sofer explains that the pasuk on the Haggadah בעבור זה is applied both for the the child who can’t ask and the rasha child. Be careful when the child can’t ask and raise him properly, so that he should not become a rasha.
Health, if you accuse someone falsely of terrorism, they might as well be terrorist. If you accuse muslems falsely of terrorism, they don’t lose anything by being terrorists.
This is an argument in the gemara whether it is better to go on a street of zonos and avoid them or not to go because it is hard to avoid them. If you bring be to temptation chances are that it will turn into shame.
Health, also not all islamic are terrorists and there are other terrorists.
Health, Obama is a diplomat who does not want to create more terrorism,
besides two wrongs don’t make a right.Avi K, Lesser taxes means more for the rich, less for the middle class and poor.
Health, being so pro-jewish, why does he not called out the white nationalist thereby contributing to all the murder?
The Klei Yokor in the beginning of Parshas Vaychi also explains that this was the reason why Yaakov Avinu could not reveal the comming of Moshiach. If people know he will not come in their time, they will be meyaesh and give up building fancy houses and thereby extending the time for his arrival.
Joseph, by the president not speaking up against white nationalist he is enabling them by giving them strength and a platform so they should falsely be thinking that he is advocating their beliefs.
TheFakeMaven, do you know pshat or are you just questioning me?
Joseph, what you are saying is based on the pasuk כימי צאתנו ממצרים אראנו נפלאות like your leaving of mitzraim I will show you wonders.
The buiding of fancy houses also holds back the comming of Moshiach by forgetting that we are strangers in a strange land.
CTLAWYER, This is a Klei Yokor on פנו לכם צפונה in Parshas Devorim, saying that in galus we should be hidden from the goyim not to make them jealous by building fancy houses.
Hashem is Ultimate Good. You have two advisers Truth and Mercy. The two don’t have the same results. If they have the same results, no choice is necessary. He chooses the one which is better for the individual. How that is decided we don’t know.
They both can be for the good of the person with different results.
His behavior is judged either with midas harachamim or midas hadin.
If he is found a tzadik, he is punished for his not good deeds in this world in order he should get full rewards in the next world, whereas a rasha will get his rewards for his good deeds in this world in order to get punished for his bad deeds in the next world. This is good for both because this is what they desire.Avi K, The Rishonim called Maseches Beitza, Maseches Yom Tov some call it Masches Beiah because of its connotation. The Magen Avraham says not to say beitza but beiah.
Sometimes being merciful is not good because it encourages bad behavior. Only Hashem knows what is good for the person.
I don’t think that these are two things. The goodness brings to the right judgement either by mercy or truth whichever is good for the individual.
yes, the Baal Haikerim says that the goodness of Hashem brings us to love him even though you can only love someone who is like you because you want to emulate someone who does good and you will follow him in his deeds.
RebYidd23, A religious atheist isn’t that an oxymoron?
RebYidd23 Thank G_d that we have protection for freedom of religion.
Some say freedom of religion but not freedom from religion being an atheist. The Pilgrims and Puritans were religious who escaped from England after their discrimination brought about this part of the First Amendment.I would say the essence which dictates to either follow mercy or din as it says חסד ואמת יקדמו פניך mercy and truth come infront of you.
I will illustrate: The Ohr Hachaim Hakodash in Parshas Beshalach on מה תצעק אלי דבר אל בני ישראל ויסעו why scream to, me talk to the jews and tell them to move, asks why does tefila not help? He answers that there is a time when din, judgement rules, so we need to create an action to make mercy rule. When they showed their sacrifice by throwing themselves into the water, they converted din to rachamim.
It does not mean that you can’t respect someone else’s religion if yours is different. It is better if they have a religion respecting others than being an atheist where they have no one to be responsible to.
We say on Yom Kippur הס קטגור וקח סנגור quite the accuser and take the defender.
TheFakeMaven, Hashem is all just. There are two characteristics mercy and judgement. They are represented by malochim, defenders סנגור and קטגור accusers. Hashem according to His knowledge and understanding follows one of them. The best is when both groups agree as no choice needs to be made.
According to the Meshech Chachmah on אף גם זאת בארץ אוביכם who says that antisemitism in, a small amount, is good for us in order not to get assimilated and remember that we belong in EY.
It means that the mercy and the judgement agree to the action.
I have posted the Lakewood Rabonim and the statement of Agudas Israel.
I agree with Yichusdig it is not our job to attribute this to their wrong doing, The people killed were a tinuk shenishbo and died innocently.TheFakeMaven, I don’t think you have any proof from there, ה’ refers to the good and אלוקיך for the bad that follows the beginning of the pasuk.
STATEMENT OF AGUDATH ISRAEL OF AMERICA ON MURDER DURING A SHABBOS SERVICE IN A PITTSBURGH SYNAGOGUE
The murder of eleven people during a Shabbos service this morning in a Pittsburgh synagogue is a horrific tragedy and an outrage. Our deepest sympathies go out to the mourning families and friends of the victims who were targeted because they were Jews. We extend our deepest gratitude to the law enforcement personnel who arrived at the scene and captured the murderer. We also thank law enforcement across the country who are ramping up security measures around houses of worship.
`There are simply no words of condemnation that can truly express our anguish and disgust at the perpetrator of this hate-fueled act or others like it. Any platform or group, including those on social media, that serves to stir up and metastasize bigotry and anti-Semitic hatred, needs to be called out and shut down for incitement of violence. Until all Americans confront the horror of anti-Semitism head on, our great Democracy will not have achieved its promise.
May those who were injured in today’s senseless violence have a speedy and complete recovery from their wounds.
They apply the pasuk הקל קול יעקב והידים ידי עשו Yaakov is suppose to accomplish things with his voice and not with arms, let others protect us and at this time, those who sit at learn, should do so.
