    I have been to an “out of town” yeshiva (at least for me it was) (most of the people there were in-towners)

    Have you?

    and i see your comment is very mature

    A young bocher is much more vulnerable in an out of town yeshiva compared with the protection of a home environment.

    maybe people should never leave home, marry their next door neighbor and live in their parents basement!

    whenever a bachur is released from his “protection” he becomes vulnerable because he won’t learn to be independant until he needs to and then it might be too late

    In town rebbe thinks: I can ignore this, he has his parents. Heck, I don’t even need to share my reservations with anyone.

    Out of town rebbe thinks: I must not ignore this because this boy is far, far from home, and I have been invested with the sacred charge of en loco parentis.

    I don’t get your pretexts, personally i feel a rebbe will focus on an out of town bachur more than an in-towner

    Bochrim who have learned to impersonate are those who have an easier time getting shidduchim, but not necessarily maintaining marriages.

    Bochrim need outlets and their emotional needs today cannot always be displaced by additional learning. This is where family support and interaction are advantages.

    You’re talking about a yeshiva bachur not a seminary girl, right?

    teenage boys as a klal don’t talk to their parents about their problems, this is where a rebbe steps in, but if your in town not neccisarily will a rebbe step in because you have your parents to “talk” to

    cherry so are you saying that a person from “out of town” (a place that there is no high school) has a disadvantage to shteiging (or not going off the derech) than does one that doesn’t

    We’ve been spoiled. Our local yeshiva is minutes away and there’ve been times I’ve barely seen my boys till Shabbos. And they do their own laundry, to boot, so they are getting some valuable skills, are they not?

    P.S. Sense of dependency?

    I’ve seen people in “In town” yeshivas staying in the dorms and when they can’t interact with other kids, then “they just sleep at home” which is what they probably want, but it doesn’t teach them how to deal with problems, running away isn’t an option

    thank you health you are right,

    the problem is I went to a mesivta for high school therefore i inadvertantly called it mesivta

    I was only there for beis medrash like I stated above and had little or no shaychis to the mechina (as stated above)

    tzippi, I think the opposite!

    A person needs his sense of dependency at this time, and not stuck to his parents!

    I’ve been to Beis Medrash in Ner Yisrael and it’s good if you don’t mind a big place (the rebbeim in the beis medrash are great, but I don’t know that much about the mesivta)

    And remember that we honor those who die al kiddush HaShem. I have even heard shiurim by rabbonim saying that that is the highest thing to which a Jew can aspire.

    you should be ashamed of yourself charlie!!! comparing jews that die Al Kiddush Hashem to arabs that kill in the name of G-d one is a proactive role one is an active role

    In Islam, martyrdom is desirable only under specific conditions (i.e., when Muslim communities are under threat of attack by non-Muslims, or when the Umma – the Muslim equivalent to the Promised Land is occupied and governed by non-Muslims).

    this can only hold true for Israel, or Iraq or Afghanistan, this wouldn’t be able to support terrorism in other countries i.e. Times square (even if you want to include America it’s only officers stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan)

    They say that Sarah Steinberg married a nice lawyer from Budapest, and Esther married a businessman from Zhitomer, so it must be Sarah’s husband. Which means that his name is Alexander Cohen, if I’m not mistaken.

    i know this question isn’t a joke (sorry)

    why couldn’t it be the guy from zhitomer

    i don’t understand, do you want to be taken care of, or to be helped to get a job,

    i know what the gemara in Shabbos (63a) though

    “it’s better to give a loan than to give tzedakah” and rashi says the reason is b/c the person won’t feel embarrased (b/c people don’t want handouts)

    My rosh yeshiva actually had a vort for the shabbos on parshas lech-lecha where he said that sedom’s ideology was the ideal and that the messed up by taking it to an extreme but that everyone should work for their life and not get handouts and give yourself an existance, and when i asked him if this was a veiled allusion to republicains he agreed said republicains aren’t the people of sodom (to which i replied it’s the ideology that they’re touting not that they are in and of themselves)

    BH for artscoll (if they didn’t come out with an english transalation for the midrash i would’ve never seen it or even figured it out if i did

    there are two pshatim in chadal

    one means that it started then stopped

    one mmeans it never started

    I’m refreshing this post b/c i have a new question that i don’t know the answer to and maybe the CR can help me.

    In this weeks parsha the passuk says Chadal lihiyos Sarah orach K’nashim to which rashi says that dam niddah stopped

    but in Noach where it says Vatihi Sarai Akara lo yalad

    the gemera in yevomos says either she was an aylonis, she was a tumtum or she didnt have a rechem. If this is so, then how can she have dam niddah in any of those 3 cases

    in reply to: Do you believe in G-d? #701095
    ☕️coffee addict
    Participant

    Do you hold as true, that the existence of One G-d who created the world and runs it, is proven by logic and irrefutable?

    Do you think that is a necessary belief?

    i’m sorry but my answer is no to both

    emunah is that even though Hashem isn’t proven by logic 100% you still believe

    if something is a fact then there is no need for belief, it’s just like saying do you believe that there is a computer screen in front of you (no it’s a fact that there is a computer screen in front of you)

    therefore if its proven by logic and irrefutable then it can’t be a belief

    and the Rambam lists it in the Ani Maamin’s to tell you that it’s a belief and not a fact (albeit 99.99% fact)

    And why would you — in Florida with 11.7% — highlight NY’s low unemployment rate?

    i’m not saying NY isn’t better than Florida this thread is about how NY is THE BEST which I’m sorry to say it isnt, if you look at my other posts i slam Florida too, and NY does have it’s maalos (I love it that I don’t have to worry about davening with a minyan, that I can chooses a restaurant to eat at, and that the subway can take me anywhere) but c’mon would you like to eat out on shabbos if you have little kids that can’t walk, once in a while (Personally i think an eruv also defines a community)(that’s how it is in all OOT places anyway) so in essence I’m saying it’s not THE BEST
