FuturePOTUS: Shavua tov 🙂 …oops my previous post was sent before reading your last post.

Please remove the rest of this question if it is lashon hara….

About having a nonJew press the elevator buttons, was the nonJew someone who came along with him? Or did he just ask a random person who was in the vicinity to push the button for him?

If you happened to be going up to the same exact floor at that time, hypothetically, would you have been halachically permitted to jump inside the elevator (if there was the time, and it wouldn’t mess with the doors closing) and get off at the same floor as him?

“You can, plain and simple, and that’s 100% tznius.” (RookieRebbe613)

RookieRebbe613: You are so right. I can. It isn’t so fashionable and that’s not a good reason to not do something.

Side note: I don’t even want to go to this group anymore (that’s how I feel now)(and I do have a better idea). I put a lot of pressure on myself to go go go because it has people my age and I want to have Jewish friends my age. I also want to learn Torah.

But… if I really wanted to learn Torah lishma, then I can go someplace closer to where I live, and on a different day, and maybe make some more friends who are older than my parents. I love hanging out in older crowds, but then how can I pray to Hashem for my shidduch when I’m not throwing myself out there (in fashionable clothes with makeup, and bells and whistles or whatever they say).

I want to learn Torah for real. I can do a lower-key thing, tzniusly, and I may not be necessarily in the mix of singles my age, but Hashem put me here for a reason. If I could afford to move, then he would have given me the money to do so.

Anyway thank you. I realized that there was no answer here. I needed to say it aloud and realize what it meant to me. What I learned was that even when the Rebbetzin said that there was no dress code, I didn’t feel comfortable dressing untzniusly. I know that for myself, I must dress tzniusly. That’s ideal. Right now, I am not-ideal. However, I can at least not show up untzniusly. I don’t want to add that. And if I want Torah, then okay, I need to find a sustainable way to learn and grow.

Thank you everyone for all of your answers

WTP +1 🙂

I was just posting to explain that what I meant by the whole grain storing thing vs the way a beaver works and then I saw your post! You pretty much summed it up and then some in so many ways… thank you! Agreed.

As humans, we are very blessed and with those blessings we also have responsibilities beyond those of other creatures.

Shavua tov 🙂

Meno: Nope not at all.

Shabbat Shalom everyone.

Wow. Okay if the Mod posted the last ones then this follows accordingly.

Just read that “nature” does not exist in Biblical Hebrew.

“Where is the word for nature in Hebrew? The answer: It is a name of G?d.” (Chabad)

“Beaver ponds create important habitat for many other species, including juvenile Coho salmon. Some migratory birds also prefer landing on beaver ponds instead of more open bodies of water. Streams and rivers throughout the country where beaver dams are present have higher clarity levels and lower pollution levels. This is believed to be a result of the beaver dams slowing water and allowing these things to settle to the bottom.” (Oregon Wild)

Besides making room for more certain humans, is our building generally providing opportunities for the diversity of wildlife?

Or are we clashing and is wildlife now at a great disadvantage?

Even if Hashem made this world for humans, don’t we need animals? Plants?

ezaspie: It was a compliment. I was saying that you looked young. Not a day older than 35.

I assumed that you were at least 35.

For the record, yes you do look much younger. Must be good genes 🙂

Mammele: Thank you. From what I remember, I desperately went to find a BB gun as a last resort (which I think I took from my neighbor and sibling… who IRL used to “play” with them when they were young by shooting target boards) and I don’t really remember if I woke up or just went on to another dream. It was terrifying and crocodiles (and alligators) are one of my biggest mortal fears. G-d forbid forbid.

Last year, I had a dream that I was on a bus plummeting towards the earth and literally said the entire shema in my dream before it crashed. I died in this dream and was a ghost or spirit afterward (could see my mother but I was dead and she couldn’t see me).

I know what to do if G-d forbid I was facing death, but the crocodile thing was yes, a moment when I felt the need to kill someone before being killed myself.

Thank you. I know that this was about a real dream, but it also asks about what I would do in real life. If I was more religious, would I respond differently in an emergency like this.
