??coffee addictParticipant
Hi zeeskite!
I wanted to say hi when I saw you posted before but my filter was blocking me from re-signing in
??coffee addictParticipantAaq,
Thats your extrapolation, maybe it should apply to heads of businesses too or even school teachers, but you’re entitled to your opinion, it just doesn’t make it correct
??coffee addictParticipantAaq,
I don’t think “pnei hador” means the gedolim/rabbanim
November 10, 2026 9:59 am at 9:59 am in reply to: The Israeli Left Comes Begging to the Chareidim #2621203??coffee addictParticipantJoe,
“ Netanyahu and Likud are just as pro toeiva and pro Chillul Shabbos and pro eating treif, like Lieberman and Lapid.”
But it isnt part of their platform
Rebemes,
“Getting the freedom to continue learning in peace without sanctions is the greater good here“
Really? I would think saving more yidden from aveirah is a greater good
Also I highly doubt that Gadi Eisenkot will come to a solution that everyone will be happy with
November 8, 2026 6:31 pm at 6:31 pm in reply to: The Israeli Left Comes Begging to the Chareidim #2620657??coffee addictParticipantI find it very interesting that the frum parties want to make Lieberman and Lapid in power (the pro toeivah pro chillul Shabbos and pro civil marriage parties) just so that bachurim dont go in the army
??coffee addictParticipant“The Rosh Yeshiva [Rav Aharon Feldman asked him 3 questions – does he believe in G-d, did G-d give the Torah, and is there reward and punishment. The janitor answered in the affirmative, and so they counted him for the minyan.“
Aaq,
My Rav has said one can only use ONE non frum person for a minyan (as opposed to more than one)
??coffee addictParticipant??coffee addictParticipantBiggest problem is that they’re probably going to elections again
This waste of money has to stop
??coffee addictParticipantHello99,
Sorry I mistyped, I meant sfardi
??coffee addictParticipantReason I asked is because Pas Habah Bkisnin being mezonos is an Ashkenazi Halacha
And that would explain your shita
??coffee addictParticipant“Additionally: It is “Pas habaa b’kisnin”. Which is always a Mezonos.“
Sketchmaster,
Are you by chance sfardi???coffee addictParticipantJoe,
You want Lapid or bennet to win the election?
??coffee addictParticipantSketchmaster,
I don’t know where you get it’s always eaten “on the go” from
??coffee addictParticipantI really don’t understand what part of אל תדין את חבירך עד שתגיע למקומו posters dont understand
This isnt a daf Gemara that you can decide the circumstances of the case
??coffee addictParticipantThe little I know,
Im not sure if you misread my post however it’s easy for you to say to “leave it in your car” because you do it, it would be like telling a בעל תשובה not to eat treif by someone that never ate treif in his life, you really can’t judge someone else until you are really in his situation
??coffee addictParticipantאל תדין את חבירך עד שתגיע למקומו
I used to be on my phone during davening until I took on small kabbalos of turning off my phone
(started with maariv) now i sometimes forget to turn it off and don’t look at it because I think it’s offBut all and all it’s very hard to not be on your phone if you stop cold turkey (especially if the person has ADHD since his brain has to always be occupied with something and Cant concentrate for long periods of time
Just my humble opinion
??coffee addictParticipantI 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
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
??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 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
