    I like vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips sometimes. Or cookie dough. Or brownies.

    Chocolate ice cream does not taste the same way as chocolate.🍫

    I would not expect them or adults to be learning Torah while eating.

    Adults may learn Torah, perhaps.

    I meant that the whole process of eating and being grateful for the food is powerful. To share the meal and connect with family, more so than toys.

    Though, this is my question. Obviously toys also ensure that the child is eating, rather than deciding that he/she is not hungry and running over to play in the playground.

    Wondering whether there are any halachic opinions here, or generally rabbis and people let children be children and accept that they will eat toys up, figuratively speaking, just as much as food.

    On a side note, I have heard that rabbonim sometimes give children candy when learning, so that they associate the sweetness of candy with the sweetness of Torah study. So that can be used as an example of how food can be paired with something else to enhance the experience all around. πŸ™‚

    I don’t know anything about the French presidential election.

    I don’t know if Joseph is a French citizen. Still, the question asked which candidate one supported, and technically if Joseph supported Fillon, and Fillon was at one point a candidate, in my humble opinion, the answer may still be valid.

    Right? Thank you πŸ™‚

    Chaver: You said, “Because we eat for Higher purposes we can’t do other things while eating?” (Chaver).

    Yes, that was, in part, my question. Is playing or gathering toys while eating taking the focus off of the mitzvah and connection to Hashem while eating?

    Thank you

    Last night I listened to a shiur on TorahAnytime about why Rabbi Akiva’s talmidim were killed.

    Was it true that they acted in less regard for each other than other talmidim?

    No. In fact they were likely even the most compassionate to and with one another and others.

    However, they were held at a much higher level. Hashem expected more od them since they were so great. So something that we may see as a small transgression Bein Adam lechavro was in fact a huge issur in Hashem’s Eyes.

    **********

    Then again then again…. imagine how good it felt when I listened to a shiur last week on TorahAnytime that said that rewards and punishments are not in this world, per se. As in, Hashem is not going to kill us for sinning, similar to the explanation for why Rabbi Akiva’s students died.

    In other words, if someone committed an aveirah or plenty of avarot, it does not mean that come Rosh Hashanah, Hashem is going to write off one’s life chas v’shalom. Hashem does not treat us like that, and if it was so then all of the Gedolim would still be alive.

    Thanks but most of my posts here are more like the whole finding the good in unpleasant circumstances.

    I would not want to defend some things that I am absolutely against, such a variety of crimes and other hurtful acts. To me, that is not being open-minded or a critical thinker, but being ignorant and apathetic.

    LU, you called the possibility that this thread had the potential to “turn into another thread about the benefits of polygamy” (LU).

    So I feel like my asking, Whoa what wait? is just adding to the discussion promoting the benefits of polygamy. In other words, I was playing into the hands of the thread.

    Or feeding fish in a bowl of fish waiting for people to pass by and sprinkle some fish food. Okay I admit that is not the best metaphor here.

    “Managing” with it back then does not mean that polygamy is the right framework for a shalom bayis-ed life for the majority of today’s Jewish women [and men, and families] living in the Western world.

    Good things about runny noses:

    1) You can honestly say that you exercised today.

    2) You can creep people out with piles of tissues.

    3) You can be a tissue hero. You will be more inclined to carry tissues and thus find yourself being a tissue rescuer on novel occasions, such as giving a tissue to someone else needing a tissue, wiping up someone’s spilled drink, and/or cleaning the food off of a baby’s face.

    Okay so while all of us are pretty much telling Rebshidduch to hold off, slow down, and maybe rethink her zeal in wanting to be with this guy with potential, is her thinking so off from what women are being taught?

    I don’t know about you, but I feel like I have gotten a lot of opposing messages as a woman about my role.

    On one hand, I definitely should not marry potential. At least, I had a Rebbetzin tell me that outright and said that marriage is not about changing anyone.

    Then again, I can name a few books and rabbonim who emphasize the woman’s role and how she can transform her husband. Who was it? In the story with Korach where the man was saved because his wife was immodest brushing her hair or something by his front door when the men were rounding each other up?

    There is something very heroic in my humble opinion, about being this woman who has the power to build a man up. Even secular stories about how the woman makes the man great. Without her, he would be no one.

    So, yes. The differences are that they were married first, and maybe the man had more actualized success or strengths at that point. Still, maybe Rebshidduch is pulled by this guy and opportunity because she needs the extra challenge in life and is searching for meaning. Maybe that is a more attractive future than someone who she cannot connect with on a certain level, or has yet to do so.

    —Yet I think what triggers us is that we, perhaps, recognize that Rebshidduch is coming from a place where she has personal growth to take on, before bringing a husband or potential husband into the picture. Having a guy right now may be clouding her vision and planning. And/or, I am super projecting here.

    Thank you for hearing me out

    Yes iacisrmma! Wait so maybe you know of it still? Because it is about Rebbe Yehuda.

    Thank you!

    So…

    Today I finished listening to the shiur, which inspired the OP, on TorahAnytime by Rabbi Zvi Zimmerman, “Pesach: Why Did Rebbe Yehuda Feel it Necessary to Give Simanim?”

    ……

    Thoughts/Questions:

    So there are sources that say that they don’t even know if Dam was first or Devar was first?

    And he said something about one source saying that Devar was related to the month of Shevat?

    And that Moshe’s staph had an inscription and they think that he went by that, possibly knowing the next plague before Hashem stated it. Except Locust. That was the only plague that Hashem did not speak to him and Moshe said it himself without cue.

    Thank you!

    And…

    rebbi1: It sounds like you may have heard of this stuff too? Thanks!
