    “Coffee, comparing the yeshiva worlds shtultz issues to modern orthodoxy is like comparing a blood test with an amputation.

    MO is rife with institutionalized sin and heresy.“

    Saying that the Yeshiva world doesn’t need to be fixed because MO is worse is like saying you don’t have to go on a diet if you’re 30 lbs overweight because there are people that are 50 lbs overweight

    It’s like saying that someone doesn’t have to quit drinking alcohol because his liver isn’t as bad as someone that has been drinking for decades and his liver is worse

    If you always look at other people’s problems you’ll never fix yourself

    Joe,

    You forget that wars fought over territory is binding if the other side retreats (look at Russia with Ukraine) now that is part of Israel and UN can’t say no, if that was the case Russia has to give back whatever they captured and good luck with getting them to do that!

    A bunch of things in support

    1) I’ve heard it quoted from the תלמידים of the גר״א that כלל ישראל in ארץ ישראל is משיח בן יוסף and לאו דווקא will משיח בן יוסף die if they live past 5771 which is the ראשי תאבות of the פסוק in אז ישיר “אמר אויב ארדוף …״ until אריק so that makes sense with what geulah time was saying

    2) Amnon Yitzchak has said that the world will go crazy until the year 2030 (you can find out his predictions on YouTube) and he said some interesting things that will happened beforehand

    “If the UN vote permitting a State is binding, then the UN votes partitioning Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, with Jerusalem being an international zone, (and future UN votes demanding Israel leave the Arab zones) is equally binding.“

    Britain agreed to the vote so that’s why it was binding

    Israel doesn’t agree to the subsequent votes so therefore it’s not binding

    I was in the same boat

    I got an MBA from Keller (an online college) and didn’t go for a CPA, no one wants to look at me due to having no experience and really whatever experience you have is more worthwhile than the degree

    I think going for a CPA is if you want to work in a place like Roth & co.

    “On the other hand, those that the whole year barely drink, but on purim force themselves against their natural inclination to get drink purely lsheim Mitzvah, are true heroes.“

    I think you are playing down the Palestinians abilities

    They have captured soldiers and the soldiers went into the lion’s den where the terrorists can shoot from roofs etc. they went in the middle of the day and they gave a warning beforehand

    I’m extremely surprised no one got even injured especially if there were hundreds of Arabs surrounding them

    I also want to add that it’s only by muktzeh (something that’s drabbonon because they did it as a geder to protect shabbos

    It’s not a blanket thing (even though we say יש כח לחכמים לעקור דבר מן התורה….)

    “Coffee, i hear your perspective, but i preempted it by saying that chazal cancelled mitzvos due to the mere possibility of people sinning. Klal yisroel’s shofar, 4 minim… Aren’t worth it if one jew *might* carry… Accidentally!!“

    I understand what you are saying, however

    “they aren’t canceling the mitzvah completely, only if it falls out on shabbos, and originally it was only cancelled outside of the mikdash, in the beis hamikdash they still did all those things (this was before galus edom)

    “Kal vechomer it’s not worth it for us to have eretz yisroel in order to keep shmitah etc if the MAJORITY will sin WILLFULLY, even if they’re tinokos shenishbu, which is far from clear. I think you’d agree that at least some chilonim aren’t, if they grew up somewhat religious.“

    Would you say the same thing about Kiruv? There’s a lot of people that will drive home on shabbos purposely? What about Pesach? People will eat chametz anyway!

    It seems like the chachamim did it specifically by shabbos and in a case where the mitzvah won’t be forgotten (every year Rosh Hashana falls out on a different day of the week, and there were two days outside of eretz yisrael) and if you say that we should “give up” eretz yisrael, no Jew would live there? If they would a not frum could also and it wouldn’t solve anything

    “How is having the land the greatest gift? what has it brought us? More people sin with it by not keeping shmita/terumah/maaser….isn’t that a net loss?“

    I see it as the opposite, now that we have land more people are keeping shmittah, terumos, and maaseros (and those that aren’t are tinoks shenishhbahs

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more people keeping shmittah than during the first beis hamikdash

    Avira,

    Nothing can happen outside of what Hashem wants, even the “מעשה שטן” by the עגל was orchestrated by Hashem (if you believe the שטן has power outside of Hashem I think you have the wrong religion)

    Now that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a test (like the עגל) but it’s exactly what Hashem wants and it might be that the state is “evil” and the test is to fight the state at every turn, but it knight also mean that the state should be used as way to be מקרב people that would be lost to assimilation if not for the state

    The question ultimately is was this part of Hashem’s plan? Can something happen that isn’t part of Hashem’s plan?

    I saw a vort recently (can’t remember where) that גם זו לטובה means that the only reason you’re viewing it as bad is because you don’t see the full picture, if you did you would see a masterpiece and ultimately this “bad thing” was really good

    To joe’s question of “ Does that make the Holocaust a good thing?” I have heard that if the holocaust didn’t happen there would have been so much intermarriage that we wouldn’t be able to recover as a nation, so in some aspects it was “good” (I apologize to the posters that had ancestors that perished in the holocaust I’m not trying to make hitler yms a good person, nor what he did was a good action, but it is all in Hashem’s plan)

    Loshenhara,

    “If we could only have achdus then we
    would have no problems with the Palestinians“

    Personally IMO achdus only comes about through Torah
    ויחן שם ישראל נגד ההר-כאיש אחד בלב אחד

    By Purim Haman said עם מפוזר ומפורד which means there was no achdus and what happened afterwards קימו וקיבלו, קימו מה שקבלו כבר

    Reb eliezer,

    What I’m saying is that Adam Harishon ate from the עץ הדעת on the sixth day but Hashem let him stay in גן עדן over Shabbos which is why He put the angels by the עץ החיים because if he was kicked out of גן עדן right away why does anything need to be put by the עץ החיים?

    I hope I’m being clear

    “that is the problem. we should be trying our best to FULLY SECURE our communities and not allow these arab terrorists who openly call for our death to be living next to our sons and daughters. if Moshe, Yehoshua, Gideon, Shimshon and Dovid Hamelech were running EY today they would totally not accept the current security situation.“

    They would probably have klal yisrael do teshuva for an aveirah that was done or daven (like moshe with amelek)

    When klal yisrael does the רצון ה׳ there is no need for “security”

    “One big difference is that in MO shuls I am always greeted and given invitations. The more chareidei shuls think that if you found the shul, you can or did find everything else“

    N0mesorah,

    I totally relate, I think MO are very big into individual hachnasas orchim but that goes into the geder of chessed and when you take chessed to the extreme it turns into znus (which is what we are seeing to a smaller degree with mixed interactions)

    I don’t know I don’t usually daven late, but I don’t think on the same level, where there can be 2 chassidim that shmooze or on the phone tgg he ere are 6 or 7 MOs

    I know I’m coming late to the discussion but I want to add my two cents

    There was someone (or a few people) who bashed cgassidim for davening after Zman tfillah, that’s nothing compared to YI who half the guys don’t put on their tefillin properly and are on their phone or shmooze with the guy next to them FOR THE WHOLE DAVENING

    believe me, if an MO doesn’t have to wake up early they would daven at 11 too
