    Aaq,

    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

    Joe,

    “ 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

    I 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

    “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)

    Sorry I mistyped, I meant sfardi

    Reason I asked is because Pas Habah Bkisnin being mezonos is an Ashkenazi Halacha

    And that would explain your shita

    “Additionally: It is “Pas habaa b’kisnin”. Which is always a Mezonos.“

    The 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

    אל 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 off

    But 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

    A 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

    Chaim,

    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)

    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

    Somejew,

    You’re deflecting not answering

    In the Mishnah I quoted obviously אדם is different than ישראל, you cant say they’re the same thing

    “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

    “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!”

    “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

    “ 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

    There 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

    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

    Qwerty,

    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

    I 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.

    There 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”
