LevAryehMember
Let’s not forget the famous saying, “Those who don’t believe any chassidishe ma’asos are kofrim, but those who believe all them are idiots.”
LevAryehMemberOomis: Thanks for your personal opinion on the complex halachic matter of what constitutes a rodef. I’ll write an angry letter to the Rambam (Rotzech U’shmiras Hanefesh 1:5-6) that he’s wrong.
LevAryehMemberI would take a picture of him and hang it up at the post office.
LevAryehMemberBoth meaning son? Isn’t one “son” and one “son of”? I believe it’s the same thing with kol and kol, one with a kamatz and one with a cholem.
LevAryehMemberLet’s not forget the 90, which is the only way to places like the Dead Sea, Ein Gedi, Masada, Eilat, etc. (and can also get you all the way to Tveryah and Tsfas). It is one lane, it has no lighting most of the way, and it winds its way through dangerous curves with almost no visibility at night or in a fog.
LevAryehMemberWhy can’t you have a different browser on a mobile device? Unless your IP address was blocked, in which case you could use a proxy (even on a mobile device).
LevAryehMemberIf I’m only playing chords it’s not that hard to talk. I find it a lot harder when I’m also playing lead. People think I’m being rude because I won’t answer their questions, but really I just can’t speak when I play (and I also I’m being rude).
LevAryehMemberSpeaking of derech chiba, this is what the Rambam says in Yesodei HaTorah 5:8.
??? ????? ?????? ???? ??????? ???? ??????? ??? ????? ????. ???? ??? ??? ????? ???? ???????? ?? ????? ????? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ?? ???????? ???? ????”?. ??? ??? ??? ????? ???? ?????? ?? ???? ?? ?????? ???? ?? ?????. ?? ?????? ???? ????? ??? ??? ?? ????? ?? ????? ???? ???? ??? ??? ???? ???? ??? ?? ???? ?????? ??? ????? ????. ??? ????? ???? ???? ???? ??? ?????? ????? ??? ??? ?????. ????? ??? ??????? ??? ????? ??? ??? ????? ??? ????? ????:
LevAryehMemberThe Rambam in Hilchos Teshuvah 1:2 says (talking about the times of the Beis Hamikdash) ??? ????? ?? ??? ??? ???? ?? ??? ????? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ?????
Whether it was known to him or unknown to him, everything is atoned for with the goat of Azazel, provided he did Teshuvah.
This would imply that Teshuva must be done even if individual who committed the aveiros never found out about them.
December 6, 2013 2:53 am at 2:53 am in reply to: Your Teachers Were Also Wrong About Other Stuff #991314LevAryehMemberThe Torah that Hashem told him to write? Also, I meant at the time of the incident. Good one though!
Everyone else, before making sarcastic comments, go look at the passuk and then call your first-grade teacher and yell at her for being uneducated.
LevAryehMemberU
LevAryehMemberYou shouldn’t eat candles.
LevAryehMemberWhat’s a Chanukah party?
LevAryehMemberLongest Rosh Chodesh davening ever.
-Two Sifrei Torah
-Full Hallel
Except for Rosh Hashana.
December 4, 2013 12:16 am at 12:16 am in reply to: Personal Statement for Seminary Applications #990913LevAryehMembernonikname – Definitely leave out the number when trying to describe your brother’s age.
LevAryehMemberIf that’s all the cleaning lady will be doing, you better make sure you have a lot of linen.
LevAryehMemberVery nice piece. IIRC R’ Gedalya Schorr has a piece in Ohr Gedalyahu about Chanukah which mentions this concept too.
LevAryehMemberFive Towns Jewish Times had it one the front cover this week. Yay!
Google Aveirah Song – Halachic Analysis.
LevAryehMemberFirst of all, don’t compare grammar you learned in Chumash to a Gemara, though in this case you happen to be right. Also, what I said was going on your previous post, where you wrote that
That can be interpreted two ways, my friend. It can just as easily be understood as “theylit from it (that one tiny oil) for a period that lasted 8 days. That’s what’s great about Torah – so many facets, and each one is worthy of knowing.
Also, there is room for no schools of thought. We can’t decide for ourselves which of the nissim was bigger than the other. The Rambam devotes a full halacha to each one.
LevAryehMemberAlso I will be in Eretz Yisroel this summer for about two weeks. What should I do
Visit gedolim.
LevAryehMemberAlso no one would open a thread entitled ‘correction for a popular misconception’. I didn’t either call it The Minhag Violation Song, because no one would have watched it.
December 1, 2013 10:58 pm at 10:58 pm in reply to: Charles Thyrwitt vs. Brooks Brothers shirts #996044LevAryehMemberExpress. Don’t put the words slim-fit and Brooks Brothers in the same sentence.
December 1, 2013 10:56 pm at 10:56 pm in reply to: Personal Statement for Seminary Applications #990906LevAryehMemberWrite about me
LevAryehMemberThank you, Bookworm120 and WIY. I’m not saying anything radical here; I’m just taking issue with the popular phrase that the oil “burned for eight days straight”.
LevAryehMemberWIY … I’ll probably play poker instead.
LevAryehMemberThat can be interpreted two ways, my friend. It can just as easily be understood as “theylit from it (that one tiny oil) for a period that lasted 8 days. That’s what’s great about Torah – so many facets, and each one is worthy of knowing.
The words ????? ???? are going back on ??????? ????. According to your interpretation, it should have said something like ??????? ???? ????? ????? ????.
The biggest miracle was the national one, where an army the size of a peanut, defeated an army the size of an elephant.
Sorry, but what in the world gives you a right to say which miracle was bigger? The Gemara doesn’t even mention the miracle of the war when it asks the famous “Maiy Chanukah”.
LevAryehMemberLevAryehMemberYou can’t light something unless it goes out first.
LevAryehMemberI thought live right was being sarcastic.
LevAryehMemberTonight is Black Sabbath.
November 29, 2013 12:08 pm at 12:08 pm in reply to: Morons who put stuff besides jelly in sufguniyois #1004535LevAryehMemberIt’s that good. Go to the one on Beis Yisrael, I’m not sure if the one on Malchei Yisrael has donuts.
LevAryehMemberI was a seal in a previous life.
LevAryehMemberSyag – I belive it says that nevuah was given to shotim?
Daas – I know, I can read too. I was pointing out that what Syag said was questionable as well. And making someone feel better about themselves is not a reason to say borderline apikursus.
LevAryehMemberubiquitin Huh?
LevAryehMemberThe Gemara in Shabbos 21b says ??????? ???? ????? ????. I believe this means that they lit from it for eight days.
Whether you learn that they conserved the oil and only used 1/8 of their supply every day or whether you learn that they used the full amount on the first day but it did not get used up, I believe it is quite clear from the Gemara that they lit every day for all eight days, which leads me to logically conclude that it did not, in fact, burn for eight days straight.
LevAryehMemberI don’t think Popa is being too harsh at all.
Syag said that “Hashem is not punishing you for making fun of disabled people.”
How can anyone proclaim to know what God is or isn’t doing? There’s a very real thing in this world called schar v’onesh. It’s the eleventh Ani Ma’amin.
LevAryehMemberFunny how a Bais Yaakov has to clarify that it’s for girls only.
But then again, there’s a reason they clarify that it’s the Yeshiva Boys Choir.
It’s like otherwise you wouldn’t know.
November 29, 2013 1:43 am at 1:43 am in reply to: Alas poor Caramel and Popcorn we hardly knew ye #989730LevAryehMemberAllen Iverson produces all the turkeys?
LevAryehMemberlive right +1
November 29, 2013 1:40 am at 1:40 am in reply to: Morons who put stuff besides jelly in sufguniyois #1004526LevAryehMemberSyag – Just had one last week in-store. Hot caramel was dripping down my fingers, mmm mmm mmm.
I was actually there with a friend who asked the guy behind the counter if they had any *gasp* jelly donuts. The guy gave us a dirty look and muttered, “Sufganiyot Uri? Riva? …”
LevAryehMemberThink about it this way. If there is a mitzvah to light the Menorah in the Beis Hamikdosh every day, what would it help if the oil would just burn straight for eight days?
November 29, 2013 1:33 am at 1:33 am in reply to: Morons who put stuff besides jelly in sufguniyois #1004523LevAryehMemberI beg to differ. Have a hot caramel donut from Pizza Uri in Beis Yisrael.
LevAryehMembernot a kosher turkey but really clever
LevAryehMemberOh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made you out of clay,
And when it’s dry and ready,
Seriously, who makes dreidels out of clay any more?
November 28, 2013 12:52 am at 12:52 am in reply to: Looking for a good nutritionist in Brooklyn #989604LevAryehMemberNo. They eat unhealthy scraps of food left under bridges. That’s why they’re so short.
LevAryehMemberCan’t believe I missed that…
LevAryehMemberOmen.
November 27, 2013 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm in reply to: Looking for a good nutritionist in Brooklyn #989600LevAryehMemberFour out of five trolls recommend using nutritionists.
LevAryehMemberakuperma – He could have said “your wife”. He was talking to R’ Huna, about his [Rav Huna’s] wife.
scroller – How does anything I said contradict anything you said?
November 26, 2013 10:47 pm at 10:47 pm in reply to: Somewhere, far far far far far far far far far far away… #989235LevAryehMemberPlease go there.
