“Despite my own remark, I don’t think this is a halakhically valid argument.“
I don’t think embarrassing someone that wouldn’t get embarrassed is like killing him since the blood isn’t draining from his face
Frumwhere,
I highly doubt Joe is getting embarrassed by this thread his skin is too tough to get embarrassed by an unknown person on this site
“To Yaakov Yosef A
You’re such a nice guy. I wrote my weekly Dvar Torah this week on the subject of rebuking other Jews. Thousands of people read me including some very prominent Rabbis.“
“Sechel is correct that I misspoke that time out of ignorance. I am the first to admit that I am very far from a Talmid Chacham and so it’s quite possible that I can make a mistake“
?
“fake, the issue would be – taking advantage of someone. Seller is not allowed to overcharge more than 1/6, but so does the buyer.“
That’s only Jewish run businesses
Sorry Joe,
Just saw this
“Coffee Addict: So America is Christian, since they shut down government offices on Chrsitmas?“
It’s more Christian than Israel or Egypt
“He says “there’s not a Jew in the world who deserves punishment” that does not mean there is no שכר עונש”
So if a person gets “punished” he’s telling Hashem that the person doesn’t deserve it? He knows better than Hashem?
@fake,
My thoughts exactly
“coffee, thanks, but I am still reaching for the navi. There are a lot of features of tlamid chacham mentioned in the gemora that I view as a criteria“
Aaq,
I never said you were a TALMID chachacham, i said you are a CHACHAM which anyone can be (חכמה בגוים תאמין) the saying חכם עינו בראשו doesn’t only apply to Torah
“I am a Navi because I can predict how this discussion will end: everyone will stand firm at their original opinion.“
Aaq,
You should have called yourself a חכם because as שלמה המלך said “חכם עדיף מנביא”
Wow yechiel and Aaq posted the same shtus
Did you guys fight?
In feldheim’s translation of מאמר הגאולה from the רמח״ל quotes the מלבים (in a letter to Rav Tzvi Hirsh Kalischer) that the Jews will gain permission from the great leaders of the world to have ארץ ישראל then they will settle there , then Moshiach will come
It seems like the tziyonim are going according to this malbim
“First, what source in Torah do you have that makes this a meaningful distinction. Is your implication that a government that keeps Torah law is a “Jewish” government? So, which governments are the ones keeping more Jewish law?“
You obviously don’t understand what makes something more Jewish than something else
Hakatan wrote
“bottom line, there is nothing “Jewish” about the zionist state, certainly nothing more Jewish than New York State or Lebanon.“
To which I replied
“I don’t think NYS or Lebanon shuts down their buses and their government offices on Yom Kippur”
I didnt compare Israel to NY or Lebanon, Hakatan did, i didnt say Israel is a Jewish state im just showing that it’s “more Jewish” than Lebanon or NY
I love how Lubavitchers have to turn themselves into a pretzel
They take all these proofs that moshiach can come from the dead but argue on them that it HAS TO be their rebbe as opposed to whoever the other person is (anyone should pick the besht over the rebbe)
“bottom line, there is nothing “Jewish” about the zionist state, certainly nothing more Jewish than New York State or Lebanon.“
I don’t think NYS or Lebanon shuts down their buses and their government offices on Yom Kippur
“Garters separate the head from the lower part of the body, and some have thicker heads thsn others …. anyway, a tie fulfills the minimum requirement.“
Aaq,
Does that mean the same holds true for thicker ties?
Sechel,
A common misconception is that רוח הקודש is נבואה, really it is a step below it
The Gemara says that kids and שוטים have רוח הקודש so we see that never left
Welcome back ry23!
The news likes to hype stories
1,
I personally think there is the opposite effect
Since the holocaust generation didnt have food they more or less force fed their kids and that made their kids entitled
Just my humble opinion
Seems like German new is a bot
I would like to know where the parents were before they took him out of the school? Did they try to teach the kid how to deal with “a bully or bullies” did they show they were on his side every step of the way?
Additionally I find it highly unlikely that Chaim will get punished for what he did as a kid in elementary school and instead the parents who said “kids will be kids” will get the punishment
My kid got bullied and we went and dealt with it and taught him to stick up for himself when the other parents said kids will be kids
So besalel,
Why can’t they claim that this is “proof” that we’re not real Jews (according to Muslims)
Aaq,
Are you saying the only “good goyim” are those that had some shaychus to a Jew?
Besalel,
Thanks for enlightening me to what the Quran says (I’ve never looked inside one) but doesnt it say also that “a rock will say a Jew is hiding behind me” or something like that? Isnt that talking about in Israel?
Why is us living in eretz yisrael a disproof to the Quran any more then us not living in eretz yisrael until 1948 wasn’t a disproof to the Torah
“I thiojnk, good middos is the only sure sign of good yihus, and opposite – of opposite.“
Aaq,
Im surprised you would say that!
You don’t know of any goyim that have good middos? I highly doubt that!
I think doom was the only one to answer Joe’s question
“First I’ll buy the cotton-picking machine that was invented more than 100 years ago by the yankees.“
מה שקנה עבד קנה רבו so your money isnt yours and your master would probably rather have your $100 and have you pick cotton
“Second, I’ll request you share your last pillow with me al pi halocha.“
That’s only if he was your master, which I don’t think your ancestors were slaves of Joe’s
Mobico,
You’re puns are really getting my funny bone moving
I like mobico’s answer
It got me to smile
“Golus is defined in Tanach and Gemara as location based.“
“I am in Eretz Yisroel and I am NOT in galus.”
Obviously not because of galus yavan (like I mentioned before) and the 400 years of mitzrayim started with Yitzchak who lived in eretz yisrael
But believe whatever you want
Joe,
Bayit thinks (like most if not all of religious zionists do) that ראשית צמיחת גאולותינו means that we can’t be in galus if we’re in a state of geulah
“What are you trying to prove?“
Eval,
Joe is trying to prove that anisraeliyid (like a lot of Israelis) are mistaken that one isnt in Galus if he is in ארץ ישראל
I don’t know why this is even a שאלה
When the Jews were in ארץ ישראל during the second beis HaMikdash when you had מכביים for kings in t was called גלות יון why is this any different
“Biden-the steady”
😆😂🤣😆😂🤣
“its funny how people dont even respond to fandango“
Ard,
Im starting to learn that too
😉
Joe doing what he does best 😎
🚨 Trump Will Decide On ‘Direct Involvement’ In Iran Within 2 Weeks [VIDEOS]
How does it feel to be wrong so many times
I just heard a great line it’s not right vs left, it’s right vs WRONG!
Yecheil,
We already did you were just too busy with trump to realize
TACO stands for GH likes to talk but doesnt know squat
Found my comment
“I realized lately that litvaks use the word kefira for anything not true, so when r shach said the rebbe is a k. He probably just meant he disagrees.
I also said it used to be common for people to call trouble maker kids sheigetz. I saw this in the book about the rogetchover, R chaim brisker called him a sheigetz.
So bh it’s nice to see that r shach wasn’t so seriously against the rebbe or chabad“Whatever floats your boat sechel, now start a movement to have avi ezri in chabad houses (good luck with that)
Is there a reason why my post wasn’t approved
“Coffee addict, he is not saying the Democrats are good. Are you capable of admitting that Trump is wrong about anything?“
I have said countless times how i didnt agree with Trump, do you read my comments or just one comment that you nitpicked
This thread is about MAGA not about trump (because they have to find something wrong somewhere) it’s like a thread about the squad which has nothing to do with Biden (when he was president
But anyway you see how crazy and his ilk dont know trump and he isnt beholden to anybody
Aaq,
I suggest you look at the Rambam (הלכות ת״ת א:י״ג)
Unless you want to answer that He’s a דעת יחיד over steinsaltz’s 300 teachers
