September 6, 2011 2:49 am at 2:49 am in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840693☕️coffee addictParticipanttheres a famous made up story called Moshiach’s Hat
I’ll post below
“Twas the night of the Geulah, – And in every single Shtiebel. Sounds of the Torah could be heard coming from every kind of Yeedel.
This one in English Some in Hebrew, some in Yiddish. Some saying Pshat And some saying a Chiddish. And up in Shamayim The Aibishter decreed: “The time has come for My Children to be freed.”
“Rouse the Moshiach From his heavenly berth. Have him get in his chariot, And head down to earth.” The Moshiach got dressed And with a heart full of glee, Went down to earth and entered The first Shtiebel he did see.
“I am the Moshiach! Hashem has heard your plea! Your Geulah has come! It’s time to go free!” They all stopped their learning; This was quite a surprise. And they looked at him carefully, With piercing sharp eyes.
“He’s not the Moshiach!” Said one with a grin, “Just look at his hat, At the pinches and brim!” “That’s right!” cried another With a grimace and frown, “Whoever heard of Moshiach With a brim that’s turned down?”
“Well,” thought Moshiach, “If this is the rule, I’ll turn my brim up Before I go to the next shul.” So he walked right on over To the next shul in town. Sure to be accepted, Since his brim was no longer down. “I’m the Moshiach!” he cried, As he began to enter, But the Jews wanted to know first If he was Left, Right, or Center.
“You’re clothes are so black!” They cried out in fright. “You can’t be Moshiach You’re much too far right!” “If you want to be Moshiach, You must be properly outfitted.” So they replaced his black hat with a kippah that was knitted. Wearing his new Kippah, Moshiach went out and said: “No difference to me what I wear on my head.”
So he went to the next shul, For his mission was dear, But he was getting frustrated with the Yidden down here. “I’m the Moshiach!” he cried, And they all stopped to stare, And a complete eerie stillness filled up the air.
“You’re the Moshiach?! just imagine that! Whoever heard of Moshiach – without a black hat?!” “But I do have a hat!” the Moshiach then said. So he pulled it right out and plunked it down on his head.
The shul started laughing, And one said: “where’s your kop?” You can’t have a Moshiach With a brim that’s turned up!” “If you want to be Moshiach And be accepted in this town, Put some pinches in your hat And turn that brim down!”
Moshiach walked out and said: “I guess my time hasn’t come. I’ll just have to return to where I came from.” So he went to his chariot, But as he began to enter, All sort of Jews appeared From the Left, Right, and Center.
“Please wait – do not leave. It’s all their fault!” they said, And they pointed to each other And to what was on each other’s head. Moshiach just looked sad And said, “you don’t understand.”
And then started up his chariot to get out of this land. “Yes, it’s very wonderful That you all learn Torah, But you seem to have forgotten a crucial part of our Mesorah.
“What does he mean?” “what’s he talked about?” And they all looked bewildered, And all began to shout. Moshiach looked back and answered, “The first place to start, Is to shut up your mouths and open up your hearts. “To each of you, certain Yidden Seem too frum or too frei, But all yidden are beloved In the Aibishter’s eye.”
And on his way up he shouted: “If you want me to come, Try working a little harder On some Ahavat Chinam!”
sorry I just think it drives the point home
☕️coffee addictParticipanti didn’t know fish needed laughter too (sole)
☕️coffee addictParticipantoy,

☕️coffee addictParticipantsam2,
I don’t agree, the parents have to have the same voice and look the same the only way that can happen is either with a sris or an aylonis (look at their simanim)

September 5, 2011 9:21 pm at 9:21 pm in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840685☕️coffee addictParticipantI was thinking that might help, like getting the CCHF to make a video about it, but I think it will fall by the wayside like all videos right after Tisha B’av
what I think is needed is have their rav give speeches with all the other ravs (1 sfardi, 1 ashkenazi, 1 lubavitcher, 1 MO)
or have the rav make it a point to do it then everyone will see it
☕️coffee addictParticipantThis is one of my all time favorite vorts (which I’ll be saying at my Bro-In-Law’s sheva Brachos)
The Passuk says Ki Yikach….V’Hayah Im Lo Simsa Chein B’Einav
also another passuk says Ki Yikach….U’Saneiah
the passuk is teaching us a fundamental yesod, if you’re looking for a wife in a way of kicha (scrutinizing your purchase, like a lot of people do when they buy a car or a house)(the wife is too short (clearing throat)) then this will happen, either getting a divorce or hating her.
however there is a passuk in Mishlei, Matzah Isha Matzah Tov
If you look at your wife as a metziah (not interested in fine detaills, like all metziahs) then all you would find is tov
(it’s interesting to note that by ki yikach it says the passuk says matzah bah ervas davar)

☕️coffee addictParticipantIt is quite known that the Steipler said that in all of Lakewood only two people married their zivvug rishon!!
when and where did he say this and why did he say Lakewood and not Bnei Brak where he’s from
September 5, 2011 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840683☕️coffee addictParticipantmr taxman,
so ur saying you can do it if you want to
I’m saying it doesn’t seem like people in these communities in Brooklyn want to
the question is how do we get them to want to
☕️coffee addictParticipantronrsr,
ditto
my wife is a foot shorter than me
☕️coffee addictParticipantI heard about it too
but no thanks, if the guy needs to be liked on facebook
1) can’t do it
2) not really interested in doing it
☕️coffee addictParticipantand then when he grows older?
September 5, 2011 8:25 pm at 8:25 pm in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840680☕️coffee addictParticipantthe topic at hand was how to fix it in Brooklyn
☕️coffee addictParticipantMazal tov ronrsr!
personally The way I knew is that as the dating progressed I felt more and more comfortable to the point where I felt like she was my sister
☕️coffee addictParticipantmaybe this can be made a shticky until people get the hang of it
September 5, 2011 7:48 pm at 7:48 pm in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840677☕️coffee addictParticipantmr taxman,
that’s like saying how does someone break an addiction?
simple, just do it
I don’t think anyone will because they already have an aversion for it
September 5, 2011 7:46 pm at 7:46 pm in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840676☕️coffee addictParticipantthats a good question AYC
I don’t know if it could be changed until Moshiach comes
(Yehuda won’t hate Ephraim and Ephraim won’t be jealous of Yehuda)
☕️coffee addictParticipantEmunas,
I saw that story recently
(I don’t know how she knew he was telling the truth, though)
September 5, 2011 7:22 pm at 7:22 pm in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840672☕️coffee addictParticipantThis reminds me of a song that I was thinking about yesterday by Abie Rottenberg on Journeys about a sfardi and a chosid who try to ignore each other but sing the same song and realize because of it theyre both jewish
☕️coffee addictParticipantI’m not sure what the circumstances are that led you to that neighborhood/city. But have you thought about relocating? (at least once your child gets a little older)
to exactly where?
I would not shelter children from guns. I had them in the house, the children were aware of what they were for and what they can do, and the respect and caution required. Lelamed es benei Yisrael keshes, halo hee kesuva al sefer Hayashar.
and for those of us that don’t have guns ourselves what do you suggest
☕️coffee addictParticipantexactly mytake
That’s what I’m worried about
(Hopefully it won’t be a problem b/c Moshiach will be here before my kid goes to school, however he already knows about elmo)
☕️coffee addictParticipantE?
September 5, 2011 4:44 pm at 4:44 pm in reply to: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing? #840665☕️coffee addictParticipantI hate to say this, but Brooklyn has this reputation of being VERY unfriendly. They never say Good Shabbos unless they know the person. There is no out of town community that behaves like that, and the further you go from Brooklyn, the friendlier they get! I think individual people just have to start being nicer, in order to change Brooklyn’s reputation. Then maybe we can expect Mashiach!
actually, to tell you a story I had over Shabbos while I was in Flatbush, while I was walking home from Hashkama (around 9) and people were going to shul, I said good Shabbos to people as I passed them by, some people didn’t answer me but others did and one person even greeted me before I had a chance to say good Shaabos
☕️coffee addictParticipantyes mytake
☕️coffee addictParticipantt?
☕️coffee addictParticipantlike let’s say there are a bunch of kids on the block or in his school that watch tv (fairly common in oot day schools where there’s a mix of kids) and then the kids make certain references to tv shows and your kid repeats it how do you teach him that it’s not proper to do it yet at the same time show that the other kids aren’t bad and you shouldn’t hate them
