??coffee addictParticipant
I echo Hakatan,
I was thinking you were talking about Agudath Israel of America
September 9, 2026 3:41 pm at 3:41 pm in reply to: CPS is government sanctioned child trafficking #2595963??coffee addictParticipantIm assuming CPS is another form of ACS
I want to start with a disclaimer, I don’t believe ACS really cares about children/families
My question is what should be done so that it’s not לא תעמד על דם רעך if it could get to that point
September 3, 2026 9:05 am at 9:05 am in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2593218??coffee addictParticipantChaim,
As my OP stated I agree with that statement it’s a סימן not a סיבה
I think most but not all addicts have low self esteem
??coffee addictParticipantOr maybe he’s a broken clock (or a blind squirrel)
September 1, 2026 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2592726??coffee addictParticipantA better way to say it is that
An addict wants to stop but cant
He would rather lose his whole life (job, prestige, family) the give up his “drug” because what he’s really looking for is an escape from life
September 1, 2026 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2592711??coffee addictParticipantChaim,
Can the guy stop and go on a diet and eat healthy for the rest of his life, if yes then he’s not addicted and “just likes fried shnitzel” but if he goes out there again he’s addicted. The root of the word addiction is dict like dictate an addict’s addiction tells him that he HAS TO do it (whatever he’s addicted to)
September 1, 2026 11:02 am at 11:02 am in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2592147??coffee addictParticipantChaim,
lol!
Im addicted to a bunch of things (one of them being on my phone/internet) and a main place is the Coffee Room and when one is always in a “coffee room” he gets addicted to coffee
But im talking about my other experiences with addictions
August 30, 2026 9:38 am at 9:38 am in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2591156??coffee addictParticipantChaim,
There are numerous people that stimulants have no effect on yet others need that to “get through the day”
I understand zanvil’s position
August 24, 2026 11:49 am at 11:49 am in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2588870??coffee addictParticipantSomejew,
You’re deflecting not answering
In the Mishnah I quoted obviously אדם is different than ישראל, you cant say they’re the same thing
August 20, 2026 9:53 pm at 9:53 pm in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2588281??coffee addictParticipant“Somejewiknow Im not sure you can say everybody but your self has a “tzelem elokim”“
Thank you nevuah for having me reread and understand what somejew was saying which can I now ask a question on his comment
Somejew said “ “self esteem” is what goyim call “yiras shomayim”, since they don’t have a tzelem elokim.”
This is not n contradiction to the גמרא that says חביבים אדם שנברא בצלם, חביבין ישראל שנודע שנבראו בצלם maybe what Somejew meant was since they don’t know they have tzelem elokim
??coffee addictParticipantקשה לה׳ לזווג זווגים כקריעת ים סוף which really means that it isn’t hard
You like everyone else in the world has a shidduch and IyH you’ll find yours in the right time
August 16, 2026 12:27 pm at 12:27 pm in reply to: Was Rabbi AJ Twerski Right , the core of addiction is low self esteem? #2585850??coffee addictParticipantAs an addict with low self esteem I would say it’s a סימן not a סיבה
??coffee addictParticipantJoe,
Rav Avigdor Miller said that the frum didnt have sinas chinam it was only in the lower classes according to this יערות דבש it wouldn’t work because who should’ve given mussar if not the frummer
??coffee addictParticipant“Maybe it’s time for all of us to move to Israel“
IyH with the coming of Moshiach
August 1, 2026 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm in reply to: An aveirah that some Yeshivish people unwittingly do #2580593??coffee addictParticipantRebemes,
But they think they’re keeping the peyos because they have the hair on top
??coffee addictParticipantSeems like you already made up your mind
??coffee addictParticipantYecheil,
Do you see emojis? Usually emojis have been changed to ? In the coffee room they are all laughing emojis
??coffee addictParticipant😂😂😂😂
Welcome back Yecheil, I missed your kvetching
July 6, 2026 1:01 pm at 1:01 pm in reply to: Was Gornit our hero or villain for ridding YWN of qwerty613? #2571290??coffee addictParticipantWell I guess gornit and qwerty613 were blocked again, until they make (use) another username
June 29, 2026 3:07 pm at 3:07 pm in reply to: Was Gornit our hero or villain for ridding YWN of qwerty613? #2569036??coffee addictParticipantYya,
Where has mswaytogo posted, I haven’t seen a post from that username
June 29, 2026 3:07 pm at 3:07 pm in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2569029??coffee addictParticipant“gornisht> how would you justify the Torah’s public shaming of Dasan v’Avirom by naming their names?
note that when Yehoshua reports to Moshe that these two are prophesizing outside the camp, Moshe is surprisingly OK with the challenge to his auhtority – he’d love everyone to be a navi!”
NAA,
Are you confusing אלדד ומידד with דתן ואבירם?
June 29, 2026 11:00 am at 11:00 am in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2568635??coffee addictParticipant“But even if you believe Korach was not his real, how would you justify the Torah’s public shaming of Dasan v’Avirom by naming their names? Unless there is absolutely wrong with publicizing the names of reshoyim.l!“
The passuk in shemos calls them reshaim ״ויאמר לרשע למה תכה רעך״ because they were hitting each other over here the only thing qwerty did was disparage the Rebbe (his parts dealing with Rav Avigdor Miller i don’t think reached that level but we can disagree on that) I know Lubavitchers that disparage Rav Shach but I don’t think they should be blocked from posting if they wanted to
June 26, 2026 12:27 pm at 12:27 pm in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2567921??coffee addictParticipant“ AAQ probably has complaints about the torah for speaking loshon hara about Korach and publicly embarrassing him. OMG, the Torah even names him! I suggest that a person like AAQ must flee the shul when parshas Korach is leined, to avoid hearing such loshon hora about his hero Korach. Maybe take the Author of the Torah to a din Torah in the Bais Din shel Maalah (although that would require a departure from Earth).”
To answer for NAA, even though it seems like we’re on “no speaking terms” 1) it could be (there is a pshat) that Korach wasn’t his real name and was called that because he was upset he had to be totally shaven 2) בית דין של מעלה already decided he was a Rasha, with Hashem being the אב בית דין due to what happened to him
??coffee addictParticipantThere is a weekly article in the circle on kashrus and this week it talks about chocolate (and one part is dairy and pareve chocolate using the same vat and not being able to use hot water in a vat because it messes it up so some kashrus organizations permit using the hot cocoa)
This might be a problem if one strictly keeps chalav yisrael
June 23, 2026 5:31 pm at 5:31 pm in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2566494??coffee addictParticipantI don’t get why both are blocked, if qwerty is right unblock him if gornit is right unblock him
Too bad we can’t have a real dialogue with the mods anymore, I miss those days
June 22, 2026 11:21 am at 11:21 am in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2565330??coffee addictParticipantA satmarer in BMG?
??coffee addictParticipantGornit,
I looked in Apple Maps and it says closed on Shabbos
Also everything you are saying cant be independently verified since he hasn’t done any of that here which puts this into the geder of lashon hara and since we don’t know for certain that it’s true we’re not mechuyav to believe you
??coffee addictParticipantI finally see that YWN mods have officially stopped moderating posts
If that’s the case why not have a faster posting time
June 18, 2026 11:12 am at 11:12 am in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2563947??coffee addictParticipantQwerty,
So your premise of “I presented a theory. He viewed himself as the Melech Yisrael and so he couldn’t attend anyone’s funeral. Am I correct? It’s only a theory, but it has some validity.” Isnt true and there must be some other reason
??coffee addictParticipantQwerty,
I think Joe already has in mind which of the brothers he is
June 17, 2026 1:50 pm at 1:50 pm in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2563598??coffee addictParticipantI found that he went to at least two funerals, one for his brother in law in Tel-Aviv and one for an old chassid reb Duchman and Chabad.org which says the reason he didn’t go to Levayas is because for a Rebbe/Nasi, there’s a tradition not to attend funerals to avoid public displays of grief and to keep focus on the living. The Rebbe did make exceptions for very close family and for elderly chasidim. Most of the time he would give instructions, eulogies, or participate from 770 without going to the cemetery itself.
??coffee addictParticipantThere is a song (I know you don’t listen to music that’s why you didn’t get the joke) from “Thank You Hashem Kids” called “Billionaire” that the main lyric is “איזהו עשיר who’s a billionaire השומח בחלקו”
??coffee addictParticipantאיזהו עשיר השומח בחלקו
Alternatively TYH should change the title to “trillionaire
??coffee addictParticipant@Dr Pepper
Dont you know that 73% of statistics are made up
June 10, 2026 6:48 pm at 6:48 pm in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2560764??coffee addictParticipantSorry to go off topic but can anyone tell me if the Lubavitcher Rebbe attended R Moshe’s Levaya (And a source for this)? My son told me that he did not
??coffee addictParticipantAshergg,
I totally agree with your premise however I think the people who are arguing understand “daas Torah” as if I have a shaylah what to do I ask daas Torah and they decide for me, however over here I didn’t have a shaylah so therefore I don’t have to “listen” to daas Torah
Just my understanding
June 2, 2026 10:24 am at 10:24 am in reply to: Hypothetical question for everyone to ponder. #2556082??coffee addictParticipantThose people would say Israel should give up control to America (or even Jordan) the Arabs dont hate Jews they want to control the whole area and have Jews subservient to them
Once they have that they’ll stop bothering us
??coffee addictParticipantYes, we all know that the president frequents the YWNCR after posting on Truth Social
May 29, 2026 11:36 am at 11:36 am in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2554842??coffee addictParticipantQwerty,

However you know what is said about hog wrestling
You’re going to get just a dirty as the hog however it’s the one having fun
May 27, 2026 11:24 pm at 11:24 pm in reply to: Chabad Shows Up Where the Litvish World Won’t #2554327??coffee addictParticipantWell there’s NCSY, Ohr Sameach, Aish Hatorah, Shuvu,
Just to name a few
So yes Chabad is going out to Times Square, Beaches, and night clubs to put tefillin on people but is that what Hashem really wants?
May 25, 2026 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm in reply to: Are we sacrificing our families to ideologies #2552898??coffee addictParticipantQwerty,
This is what I posted in “qwerty is ill”
“Qwerty,
Maybe if he is ignored he’ll just go away, please don’t answer it’ll just fuel a cycle between you and him”
And you replied
“To ?? coffee addict
I do ignore most of his comments. I’ll try to heed your advice and ignore him completely. Unlike most posters, I accept Mussar if it’s appropriate.”
And in the shatnez thread you said
“To ?? coffee addict
I would think that you’d follow the advice you gave me and not try and engage him in discussion. Everything he writes is meaningless gibberish and empty platitudes. Moreover, he’s psychologically incapable of acknowledging that he can be wrong, so he ignores all refutations to his position.”
??coffee addictParticipantQwerty,
I followed your advice why haven’t you followed mine
??coffee addictParticipantDamoshe,
I don’t think they were honoring Bloomberg, they were honoring the money he gave them
This clown probably didn’t give any money
??coffee addictParticipantIs a 70 year old considered a יתום? Until what age/stage?
Haleivi,
So why about �’יקור �–ולים or �”כ� סת כל�” according to that reason it shouldn’t be there because “since it exemplifies �’מילות �–ס�”ים.” Doesn’t apply
??coffee addictParticipant�”� �” ימים �’אים…. לא רע�’ לל�–ם ולא צמא למים כי אם לשמע את �”�’רי �”׳
??coffee addictParticipantRebemes,
1) and what about in the USA?
2) and what if someone is misinformed as to what are mitzvos and what aren’t? Like Shabbos being “the day of rest so it only means dont go to work
May 14, 2026 12:21 pm at 12:21 pm in reply to: Should the Democrat Party Be Outlawed As Domestic Terrorists? #2549334??coffee addictParticipant“seems to me, that with all those oathkeepers and others who stormed the capitol on jan 6, they, being mostly republicans”
SHOCKING DETAILS: DOJ Accuses Southern Poverty Law Center Of Bankrolling KKK And Neo-Nazi Networks
Same thing was probably done here
??coffee addictParticipantPeople understand “frummer” as more perfect since they’re “closer to Hashem” so it’s harder to be Dan lkaf zchus
??coffee addictParticipantRocky,
If it’s the restaurant I think you’re referring to then I can tell you that the same restaurant in the 5 towns is a hangout and their promotions idolize sports memorabilia so it’s understandable where this is coming from that they don’t want that in Lakewood
May 6, 2026 10:29 pm at 10:29 pm in reply to: What will it take for the frum community to stop supporting ICE? #2546150??coffee addictParticipant“Obviously, you are a Republican, or at least right-leaning, if you are on this site.”
Sorry thats not a factual statement, there are numerous democrats on this site
