What about sending it to:
Yeshivat Sha’ar ha-Shamayim
Attn: Rabbi Gamliel Rabinowitz
Rashi St. 71
Jerusalem, Israel
Anyone know the zip code? It’s in the Mekor Baruch neighborhood, in Jerusalem.
When I was a kid, once I called my older sibling “divorced.”
I thought that it was a curse word.
The response was, “What?! Do you even know what that means?”

See: “The Physically and Mentally Disabled Insights Based on the Teachings of Rav Moshe Feinstein”
By Rabbi Moshe D. Tendler, Ph.D. and Fred Rosner, M.D.
As for people with disabilities, die young, and/or have other factors that impede their ability to marry, a rabbi told me (and I also read it somewhere) that sometimes souls come into this world to complete a mission without their beshert.
Someone’s soul may have one last mitzvah to accomplish.
We never know what we were destined to do here, at least certainly. Thus, one cannot just say, “Oh I don’t need to get married because I have a feeling that I did it in my last lifetime.”
At the same time, if someone has a different-ability, that does not include getting married, then that person is not obligated to perform that mitzvah.
About Nazis:
I don’t get how it’s morally okay to give money to rescue a Jew to an organization that is using that money to kill more Jews.
I see how it could be a loophole halachically, since one is knowingly rescuing one life, and indirectly maybe killing more lives. Yet it is not a direct transaction.
However then there is the whole impact of feeding into and reinforcing their patterns of behavior of hostage taking to fuel their terror.
Then again… if I had a way to rescue a loved one, then I think that I would do whatever it takes. That’s not a situation where I can sit on my high horse here criticizing. For sure I would be in survival mode, and unfortunately my brain would likely be highjacked by the conditions, deprivation, and such that anything would be possible to rescue someone I knew, or even didn’t know but was right there.
Hopefully people will listen to their doctors and see that the great risks come from not vaccinating.

Is Joseph yekke2?
When I read that post, this is what I heard:
“Listen if there is someone with a known history and record of molesting children in the presence of my children and family members, then I am not going to go let my children and their cousins go frolic alone or in a group with this person.
I may have to tell my children and their cousins to leave this person alone, but won’t say anything that isn’t necessary.
If you think that this person is now fine to hang around children because he did teshuva, then that is your prerogative. However, part of teshuva is also making fences and guarding oneself from falling into situations.
While other posters think that it is lashon hara to ask my children not to go play with or around that grown person, since this person already did teshuva, then I guess they can judge me accordingly because I know that Hashem gave me the responsibility to guard my children and protect them, and part of that is keeping them safe from risky encounters.”
Sincerely,
Poster
Another update: So I don’t know about the “L-rd” part.
I also wonder if I am not helping by saying that it’s all fine because maybe there is more to it and I could be preventing you from speaking to your LOR.
Did you ask Chabad’s *Ask the Rabbi*? I found their rabbis and rebbetzins super helpful too.
So I think that there are a few questions to ask here:
1) Are you committing an aveirah by saying: “Bless you good L-rd”?
2) Can you bless Hashem specifically?
3) Can you address Hashem here as specifically “L-rd” or “good L-rd”?
Thanks!
It’s also possible to lose out on one’s beshert. Hashem makes it so that they meet, but that doesn’t mean that they will recognize each other and accept their beshert.
Also, one can change it based on prayer and one’s merits, according to kabbalah.
The person you marry can become your beshert too.
Hashem does not necessarily want someone with an anger issue to find a match to live with him and that’s it, everything’s fine.
Some individuals need to work on their middos before going into a marriage.
I’ve heard a story, and I don’t know if it was true, but a guy who had a huge anger issue was set up with a woman who had an even greater temper. She put him in place. They lived happily ever after.
Leah’s beshert was changed after she davened and cried to Hashem, and eventually she didn’t marry Esav.
I already sent a message asking, before Mod-100’S post came up.
Should I send another asking to forget the question?
That is not necessary. -100
DY too?! I thought that it was just Joseph.
Just found out that we can contact the Mods via:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/contact.php
Let’s ask!
Moderators do not have access to emails sent through that link.-100
For now you can also call “The Jewish Number” and ask for a local reference.

Bump 🙂
Plus seriously it is Sunday. The First Day.
The way one starts the first day of the week reflects on the rest.
We need to start the shavua with a good solid note. Boys do that through Torah study. It gets them in the routine.
4yo thread
Maybe because if boys didn’t have school on Sundays, then their moms would have more boys in the house. Boys may be more work to clean up after, and can be rambunctious. So maybe it was a gift to mothers, and/or fathers.

I think if the challah didn’t taste good, then the recipe is discarded. Someone may have it, or know how to access it online, afterward; however, good point, one wouldn’t hold on to it as a “recipe” if one didn’t find it delicious…. technically.
Though…
Someone can have a recipe that he/she isn’t so fond of, but others rave about.
Ring around the rosie
Pocket full of posie
Ashes ashes
We all fall down
—Some internet sources say that it’s false. They are false.
“Ring around the rosie,
A pocket full of posies;
[one of the superstitious ways used by people in the Middle Ages to try and fend off the plague was to stuff their pockets with posies (flowers)]
Atischoo, atischoo,
[sneezing was also an early sign of the plague if it was a pneumonic plague; however, not all types of plague involved sneezing]
or, Ashes, ashes
[the dead were often cremated]
We all fall down.
[most of the people strickened with the plague died]”

The parsha says iphone!
dooksta123: I asked a shaila for you from my LOR. He said that there is a posak that explains that we can strengthen Hashem by blessing Him.
However, it’s a bit more complicated than that, so he will email me more information on it.
I’ll let you know 🙂
Must say that I am grateful to live in America. Grateful to even be allowed to have this public conversation. Such things are not possible in many nations.
So yea. Just went to a shiur on Va’eira. Learned how we’re even supposed to be grateful to Egypt, which gave us food and water when we were hungry and thirsty. How important it is to look at the good. And give thanks for the good.
So thank you to Ivanka and Jared for making Shabbat a household term, and bringing light to Judaism.
Partners 4 Torah- Could someone there do a weekly shiur giving chizuk in difficult times maybe?
