    I think if a rich Baal tzedakah publicizes his donation it shows that the mosad is worth giving to, just because baalei tzedah are rich doesn’t mean that they give money to any and every thing so those people are showing that it’s worth it to donate to this cause

    “The point is for free expression of ideas, I have no issue expressing my beliefs, and when I ask one what his belief is and he wont answer something is strange.“

    I asked him the same question about believing that the Rebbe is moshiach and he answered me

    Yes, my name is based on the Gemara (ירושלמי ברכות פ”ב ה”ד) that says that Moshiach’s name is Menachem.
    (וכ”ה באיכ”ר פ”א, נא. משא”כ בסנהדרין צח, ב דשם גרסינן מנחם בן חזקיה)

    I chose this profile name for two reasons:
    1) Since my name is actually Menachem (get it? מנחם שמו?)
    2) It’s nice to remind myself about Moshiach when I’m online (every word makes a difference – “צריך כל אדם שיראה עצמו כל השנה כלה כאלו חציו זכאי וחציו חיב. וכן כל העולם חציו זכאי וחציו חיב . . עשה מצוה אחת הרי הכריע “את עצמו ואת כל העולם כלו לכף זכות וגרם לו ולהם תשועה והצלה see Rambam Hilchos Teshuva 3:4)

    “henceforth it is proof that the rebbe can be moshiach?”
    Maybe I’m trying to prove that I can be Moshiach…
    [Regarding the names of Moshiach listed in Sanhedrin, the Rebbe’s father Reb Levi Yitzchok writes that all the opinions are true – כל הדעות אמת הם ואלו ואלו דא”ח (לקוטי לוי”צ על מארז”ל ע’ קו)]

    Maybe he doesn’t want to turn his thread into a debate about the rebbe just like you told him to start a new thread so really what difference does it make

    “My suggestion – Joe Manchin. He is already holding the partial Presidency for 1.5 years and everyone except Progressive (40% of Dems?) are happy with that.”

    From YWN WhatsApp group

    In a startling turnabout, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Joe Manchin announced Wednesday they had reached an expansive agreement that had eluded them for months on health care, energy and climate issues, taxes on higher earners and corporations and federal debt reduction.

    The two Democrats said the Senate would vote on the wide-ranging measure next week, setting up President Joe Biden and Democrats for an unexpected victory in the runup to November congressional elections in which their control of Congress is in peril. A House vote would come afterward, perhaps later in August. Unanimous Republican opposition in both chambers seems certain.

    Just hours earlier, the expectation was that Schumer, D-N.Y., and Manchin, D-W.Va., were at loggerheads and headed toward far narrower package that Manchin was insisting be limited to curbing pharmaceutical prices and extending federal health care subsidies. Earlier Wednesday, numerous Democratic senators had said they were all but resigned to the more modest legislation.

    Menachem,

    May I ask, is your name based on the Gemara that says moshiach’s name is Menachem, henceforth it is proof that the rebbe can be moshiach?

    “ymr: They looked up to me and tried to emulate me.“

    This is the funniest line I’ve seen today

    Another interesting observation is that commonsaychel didn’t call the person a troll and is actually trying to help a newcomer

    If it wasn’t for the aforementioned comment I would’ve thought I’m in a parallel universe

    “Unless things changed in recent years, Rav Shmuel was easily reachable on his home phone. He usually picks the phone up himself when it rings.“

    Yeah, I called a number (7-8) of years ago and spoke with him

    IMHO R Shmuel is the epitome of gadlus with thinking of other people and being easily accessible

    And Reb eliezer agrees with it!

    Democrats are מרחם when it comes to bail reform so it’s understandable that they are cruel when it comes to abortions (or even to arresting a bodega owner)

    It all comes from the same place

    “Maybe if more people recognized the pain of these suffering youth, we can do more to actually prevent these acts“

    It’s more than what the goyim will think, it’s what the goyim will do (put the teacher in jail) if you’re not afraid of that then do something that will get yourself arrested, you’ll understand

    Joe,

    You’re reading too much into this, if that’s what he’s trying to do then he should ask a shaylah to his Rav not to the CR even if it has such esteemed members as Reb eliezer

    Stand up when he comes into the room
    Don’t sit in his seat

    Don’t interrupt him
    Ask him about his day first
    Serve him food first

    “It’s not against NYers. Its against how they act and I don’t hate them at all.“

    Anything stating how we are different (as long as they aren’t רשעים as noted above) is שנאת חינם

    I’m originally from OOT and used to get upset at how NYers acted but I’ve learned to accept them based on their upbringing

    Just like irreligious and non yeshivish can’t be faulted because they grew up that way so to NYers grew up differently than you and their actions should be accepted

    Well unhealthy self esteem (גאוה) comes into play over here, if I see someone else doing something different in עבודת ה׳ I’m going to think he’s doing it wrong because if he isn’t then I am, and that bothers me (not me, I hope you get what I am saying)
