shmoel- do you have any evidence for this?
Damaging??????
I can attest that I am in no way “damaged”. I also have many friends whose parents are divorced and none of them seem damaged to me.
The whole stigma of children of a divorce has to end. It utterly ridiculous.
As the child of a divorced couple, I can say that my parents divorce was probably the best thing to ever happen to me. No more fighting. No more yelling. There was finally peace in my home.
While it was hard for me, it was necessary measure. Its not the ideal by any stretch of the imagination, but there are times where it might be the right move. The Torah gave us the ability to divorce for a reason.
Loyal Jew, I really try hard not to post on this site but your comment is just so ridiculous that I cant help myself
The whole point of letting people become therapists was so there would be frum therapists to help frum people with their problems. Therapists are doctors. They go to school just like doctors. You might not know this, but there are mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, OCD and more that are rampent in the jewish community. We need frum therapists to help combat these problems, no different than we would need a doctor to treat a physical illness.
Ready now,
Forget it. Its not worth my time to follow this thread and try to convince you of reality. You can believe whatever warped view you want but it wont change the facts. And I bet you believe that the Netziv closed velozhin because the government demanded russian and math to be taught. Whatever. Your loss.
ready now,
I would highly recommend Making of a Gadol by Rav Nosson Kaminetsky, who writes about how Rav Ahron Kotler read russian novels when he was young. You can get the pdf online.
or maybe he read the book?
ready now,
How is it clear that he did not read the book? And why would he think it was co written with Dafoe?
ready now,
If robinson crusoe is traif, then why would he put it in the sefer?
Ready now,
Look at the Aznayim LiTorah on Parshas tazria, perek 13 Posuk 46. He quotes robinson crusoe(it the artscroll translation, they skip that part).

If by “J.B” you mean Hagoan Harav Yoshe Ber Soloveichik ztl, than no.
Try online jewish dating like YU connects or saw you at sinai.
Ready Now-“Some things are not acceptable and that fact is good to accept.
Do you mean frei, or just disagreeing with your point of view? Its quite sad that to you a different Hashkafa is a “frei” Hashkafa.
Rav Aharon Lichtenstein has a PhD in english literature from harvard. Although I heard that he said that one should avoid reading Ayn Rand’s works.
goq,
I thought that there was no conclusive evidence to convict him. Not that he was black. In fact, i dont remember them mentioning the color of the defendants skin.
zahavasdad,
How is that not stealing?
Try Rabbi Sachs’ machzorim. Very good commentary.
Nechoma,
Maybe the reason that people are susceptible to improper thoughts is because we hyper sexualize everything. If you say that a skirt much be 4 inches below the knee, then if a man sees a woman in a skirt 3 inches below the knee, he will have improper thoughts. If sitting in the same woman is considered taboo(non yichud situation), then when are in a room with a woman, you will have those thoughts.
We obviously have to take this in the context of halacha, but we must realize that unnecessary chumros might be hurting us more than they are helping us.
What was wrong with the girls coming to the shiur. Nobody was making them go. They were learn on their own accord. The Prishah matirs this.
vochindik,
If you are going to copy and paste from the frumteens moderator, you should at least source him.
feif un,
i heard a nice vort from shlomo katz on his cd live in melbourne. He asks, why in between the ashamnus and bagadnus do we sing a tune in major. It would be much more fitting to sing in a minor key.
He answers with a moshul of someone going to court. At first he is trembling, but when he sees that the judge is his father, he rejoices. That is our situation. When we confess our sins, how can we not sing a joyous song, when the judge is our father in heaven.
Where did she “declare herself an atheist”? I think that she was just saying how difficult can be sometimes to pray, especially when in a tough situation.
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveichik(the rav) gave many lectures on the holidays. you can order many of his works on amazon (most literature in english by R Soloveichik was not written by him, but by his students).
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks wrote a commentary to the rosh hashana machzor, published by koren(it has an amazing introduction). Highly recommended.
any benzodiazipins? Im a fan clonopin.
Hakatan- you can’t say that christianity is false because it contradicts our ikkrim. ikkrim where only written down in the middle ages, and with much disagreement about them.
loyal Jew- Do you think the contemporaries of Rabbi Akiva wouldn’t let their children marry his children? By your standards, their home had a lower madreiga than other homes!!!!
Loyal Jew-“The problem isn’t so far from that of BTs, and here everyone agrees that they should be matched with their own.”
You make it sound like BTs are another species. As a son of a BT, i find it offensive that you consider my home on a lower madreiga because of this.
Health-“Like I posted above -Moshiach would be here already if not for the creation of the Medina”
How exactly do you know this?
Unless you have lived through a divorce, you should not comment. An onlooker has absolutely no idea what goes on behind when the doors of a house are closed. As he child of a divorce(B”H my parents got divorced) I am truly insulted by the pure ignorance and insensitivity of some of these comments.
Please stop this thread now. The only people who can comment on this topic are people who have been divorced or children of divcorces, myself being in the latter category. Unless you lived through a divorce, you have no right to comment on it. In my case, I was blessed that my parents divorced when they did. The divorce stopes the constant fighting in the house and was a huge relief for me and my siblings. Any bystander might have said the divorce was wrong, but unless you are part of the family, you would have no idea what was going on and have no right to comment.
