“As to why we don’t make a bracha…my theory is that to make a bracha, there needs to be a חפצא, a tangible, physically reactive phenomenon. The eclipse is merely an alignment; nothing is משתנה in the moon or sun.“
Avira,
Ever heard of ברכת החמה? It’s done when the sun is at the exact same spot as ששת ימי בראשית
Huju started this thread with trump not being able to pay his fine
It seems like trump proved huju wrong 😝
How does one get eclipse glasses without going to Amazon or eBay?
Sechel,
You know the rambam came after the Gemara right?
He paskens like the מאן דאמר the says they aren’t
You said that two years ago
Nope
😂 😆 😝
Why does it say Dr Pepper posted but doesn’t show the post?
Thanks so much for rescuing it from spam!!
GH
Did you look up sukkah 29a?
“Extremes are not good whether Democrats or Republicans.“
In other words “there are bad people on both sides”
At least trump was being positive 😜😂
I wonder if ר מאיר thought אחר was doing wrong things
כל המהרהר אחר רבו…..
🤔
GH arguing with a Gemara
I’m not surprised
Commonsaychel,
It’s in the shul that lucky fingers Max dedicated
Froggie,
Of course I remember eclipse
She’s in a better place (outside of the CRaziness of the CR)
“And why is a lady who isn’t dressed tznius the biggest no no, but a man who dresses perfectly chassidish (notlubavitch) is forgiven for watching all the things he does on his devices, and is known he does, because at least he dresses the part? So alls good and his kids can join the school. But dressed imperfectly? Forget it!
Please explain that one too”
The lady is a חוטא ומחטיא the guy looking at things on his devices is just a חוטא
Reb Eliezer,
Do you comment on people’s screen name when you can’t disprove their point
“To my knowledge Democrats have not killed anyone.“
Of course, if MSM (which is on the democrats side) doesn’t report it, it must be true
“I believe chabad is the penimius of yiddishkeit, as explained at length everywhere from Zohar to likutai sichos.״
That’s right (that you believe that) and it’s no different then people believing their מהלך is the best in yiddishkeit and Lubavitch is wrong because of xyz
Therefore what’s good for the goose is good for the gander
“the only difference is that by other sects of Jews if you don’t fit in, your kicked out, so satmer has no one not keeping all the takanos, or even the yeshivish where your not “kicked out” but anyone who went to bmg and left to work, he’s a Baal habas, so he’s not part of “yeshivish”“
The difference is, that a person wouldn’t call himself a satmar if he doesn’t follow the satmar rebbe, or someone that is a Baal habas would say he learns all day (I actually disagree, there are people that are yeshivish and still work but either way it’s because the person defines himself that way not vice versa) if someone doesn’t follow the Lubavitcher rebbe, he wouldn’t be considered Lubavitch
Reb E,
“Mordechai never said that Hsman did something good, even though he brought them back to teshuvà.“
True but the Gemara says בני בנים של המן למד תורה בבני ברק because of that זכות
“Why were Mordechai and Esther buried together? Why wasn’t she buried with Achashvarosh in some royal cemetery of Persian kings and queens?”
Maybe achashveirosh died first and she told daryavesh to bury her next to Mordechai
Lostspark,
Democrats have hearts and minds? 😜😂
Sechel,
Do you have a reason? Is it like saying Yiddishkeit is superior? What about the opposite? Saying Lubavitch are kofrim? What’s the difference?
“Mordechai, because of the progressive social stances of the democrat party.“
Takah,
Mordechai was pro gender changing, against Israel and Jews, and was for bail reform 😂
Lostspark,
How is that working out in China and Russia
You want democrats to start eliminating dissenters?
“I think that Abie should put out an album of MMM Bloopers. This would be potentially even more entertaining than the existing record.”
If you want Abie’s humor there’s a recording he put out called “a time to laugh” he has some good bits in there
And still sechel hasn’t answered my question
I think the reason is because אין אדם משים עצמו רשע
“How in that realm did it make sense that the MMM could figure out someone was going to do something wrong?
If you’re going to answer that the MMM only alerted after the event and then replayed it on the screen, that would be acceptable, but in one of the episodes, Shnooky actually spoke to the child before playing the song (why does everybody make so much fun of me…“
Hey Mr show off you think you’re very great, Hey Mr show off you’re making a mistake!
“The global population of Chabad has been estimated to be 90,000–95,000 adherents, accounting for 13% of the global Hasidic population. However, up to one million Jews are estimated to attend Chabad services at least once a year. (wikipedia)“
You’ve said in the past (regarding chabadopedia, don’t exactly remember the name) that anyone can write there and it might not be true
The same is with Wikipedia
Also you haven’t answered my question of “Is saying Lubavitch is superior, Lashon hara?”
“the house started burning down when looney tunes occupied the white house for 4 years. he could have extinguished it by building that famous wall he so often ranted about in his mega rallies , and , of course, mexico was going to pay for it .“
So you’re saying illegal immigration was happening rampantly when trump was in the White House? Look at the numbers, it’s just not true
“Yep, on the other hand, the orange haired lunatic now calls the insurrectionists thrown in jail, after a legitimate t,rial, he now calls them Hostages!!!what oh what is one to do??”
I just heard a great analogy
If your house is burning down who do you call, someone who started the fire or a fireman that says things you don’t like? If it’s the first one you have some issues to deal with
Sechel,
You realize that Arso disproved your claim that it was lashon hara
Yechiell,
I’ve already shown you to be a democrat (in the Nikki Haley thread)
You can’t tell me you’re a republican and would vote for Biden after the past four years just because trump is a “bad man”
It’s only a few more days until Purim you don’t need to put on your mask just yet
Yechiell,
Well the question is what are you more? A Jewish democrat or a democrat who is also Jewish (what is the עיקר Jewish or democrat?)
Is saying Lubavitch is superior, Lashon hara?
Wow
I think gehennom froze over
Avira
“Recently, a bunch of rabbis broke off from the Crown Heights Beis Din and made their own kashrus agency, which now certifies Shor Habor, a meat company which i anyways avoided due to the possibility of god-in-a-body worshippers doing the shechitah.“
יש על מי לסמוך
Sorry about this edit but the info you are asking for has no tachlis
CS
“The Rebbe taught that Geula is a gradual process that we bring through our avoda in golus.
Therefore, if you will only do what you should due to external communal pressure/ Halacha policeman etc., you are not ready for geula! Or should I say, you are not living in a geula mind space/ life style.“
A rebbe is a משפיע not a policeman (I don’t know any rebbe/Rav that’s a “policeman”
You are lacking a משפיע that can’t guide you in the right direction
I don’t see how this was different than my previous post that you commented about
“ If a Rebbe is only someone with common sense, we have plenty of that in chabad.“
Yeah just ask the bachurim who made a tunnel at 770 and those who haven’t called them out (btw I think this was the whole reason for the previous thread)
Cs,
Thanks for the generalization (if that isn’t שקר & שנאת חינם I don’t know what is)
What about davening bzman? I know there are “heterim” but I know lubavitchers that aren’t using them and still daven late
“The rant of a blogger carries the same authority of some drunk on the subway.“
And if people decide to follow the ramblings of “some blogger” (or for that matter some drunkard on the subway) you have a problem with that?
Why does it bother you? No one said you have to follow what he says
I told you who he is
What does it matter what his expertise is?
Commonsaychel,
My assumption is that it’s nachi Gordon (of meaningful minute podcast)
“Food for thought about tznius in chabad: 1) who exactly are you criticising? The fact that we don’t have a Rebbe cuz he would fix it, well in chabad we don’t tell the Rebbe what to do, it’s the other way around, this the obviously the kavanah (as hinted in the last maamarim and sichos)“
And this is why it’s a shame you don’t have a live rebbe because he’s not around to tell you what to do so your chassidus can’t fix it because he didn’t tell you to
על אלה אנחנו בוכי׳
And if you’re really right that only 1/3-1/2 are promoting it, the the 1/2-2/3 should shut them up (unless they agree to what they others are doing, just they’re too shy (or whatever) to do it too
Or they are iyov
“Ha, someone wrote Lubavitch headquarters on their kovetz! Again, complete ignorance about regular life in Lubavitch.“
Menachem,
It was from 770 I saw it a few weeks ago I know it was an official thing but I don’t remember EXACTLY how it looked
“CS probably meant the half/third of Lubavitch that isn’t meshichist (which does not mean they don’t believe the Rebbe is Moshiach, it means that they’re not obsessed with the idea). If anyone thinks that majority of Lubavitchers wear yechi yarmulkes or majority of Chabad kovtzim say yechi on them – they are plain ignorant.“
Menachem,
A third is a minority which means the majority are
Secondly the kovetz I saw was from Lubavitch headquarters
“Lubavitch in general is not obsessed with the idea that the Rebbe is Moshiach- were lucky if you learn it in school.“
יחי אדוננו מורינו ורבינו מלך משיח לעולם ועד printed on everything from yarmulkes to booklets printed from 770 to any sign you see in ארץ ישראל with the rebbes image
You can’t be serious
