That’s the point — Transcarpathia was one of the western-most regions of the Kievan Rus. Ukrainian developed from local Russian under heavy influence of Polish.

000646, a rashanta does not the right to spoil her kids al pi Torah. Period.
mddMemberNaiberg, even though it’s a side point, in the Rishonim times it was a part of Kievan Rus(an early Russian state). Btw, their name is a big-time give-away.
February 21, 2012 1:19 pm at 1:19 pm in reply to: New news story- OTD Lakewood woman with 4 kids wants custody #857143mddMemberIf a Yid does aveiros, it is Klal Yisroel’s business!!!
mddMemberA side point, it was not a part of Hungary for a thousand years. It was around 700 years. Before that, it was a part of Rus(sia).
February 19, 2012 5:33 am at 5:33 am in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852682mddMemberYep, Doswin you put all that shtikl together without resorting to the “Divrei Yoel”? And came out with the same conlusion? Btw, Chafets Chaim held one was allowed to rebel against the Russian Communist government. And again, most Gedolim did not hold like the Satmar. And we do not pasken shailos from asking the Shem Ha’Meforash.
And genrally speaking, where does all this ridiculous infatuation with the Satmar shita come from? When it comes to you, Doswin, it’s not a kasha — the more right-wing, the merrier. Right?
February 17, 2012 7:12 pm at 7:12 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852678mddMemberDoswin, most Gedolim did not hold like Satmar. Read it 10 times!
February 17, 2012 4:02 pm at 4:02 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852676mddMemberThat the 3 shevuos are “yehareg ve’lo’yaavor” is a shvere Satmat ta’ana which is not muchrach at all in the divrei Maharal. Anyhow, we do not pasken from a machshova sefer.
February 17, 2012 4:46 am at 4:46 am in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852671mddMemberToi, there are enough serious(al pi Torah) issues to be concernd about. Your whole sevora is artificial and strange and does not compare to the real problems one needs to be upset about. Some people love to tracht up things to be kanousdik about.
Besides, it is indeed true that there is such a thing as the Hebrew enthicity — whether the Kahoim like or not.
February 16, 2012 8:37 pm at 8:37 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852666mddMemberToi, I am not sure they say it. Even if they did, so what? What’s the big deal that you have to be so busy aginst the Medinah because of it? There are people there who say complete and total apikorsus, and they would not stop if the Medina were to disappear.
February 16, 2012 2:45 pm at 2:45 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852655mddMemberToi, I am a BT — I know what’s going on in the world better than all the right-wing chevrah here.
I do not understand what your problem is. For the third time, even if the Medina were abolished and the US took over, the frei comminity would still be there. That community is not dependant on the political independance!
February 16, 2012 3:38 am at 3:38 am in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852650mddMemberToi, the frei Israeli culture has nothing to do with the Medina. If there were no Medina, it still would be there.
If something is wrong in a country, it does not mean you have to oppose its’ existence. And again, nobody thinks that frei Israelis are the true practitioners of Judaism. Nobody is mislead.
February 15, 2012 9:03 pm at 9:03 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852647mddMemberPlus,Toi and the Gatesheader, do you support UK or France or Finland? Is everything there glatt kosher?
Btw, diplomatic pressure is not ossur.
February 15, 2012 8:50 pm at 8:50 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852646mddMemberToi, I am not saying the Medinah is great,but one has to offer good arguments about the matter. “It is misleading…”. Or that’s the problem? There are far worse things taking place there.
February 15, 2012 8:45 pm at 8:45 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852645mddMemberLongarekel, the League of Nations authorized the UK to hold E. Yisroel till a Jewish state is founded. That was called the mandate.
February 15, 2012 3:48 am at 3:48 am in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852626mddMemberToi, maybe you meant that they violate the copyright laws by calling themselves Jewish?
February 15, 2012 3:46 am at 3:46 am in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852625mddMemberThe Gatesheader, nobody is mistaken to think that they are pious Jews.
Toi, what does that have to do with anything?? O.K., so they discarded the ma’alah, now what?
February 14, 2012 3:32 pm at 3:32 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852619mddMemberThe Chassidishe Gatesheader, when they say they are Jews and their state is Jewish, they mean ethnic Jews, for crying out!!! And everybody in the world understands that (except, for some ultra-Orthodox people who do not know what’s going on in the world)! And if the country were ruled by the Muslims, and there were a very large community of frei Yidden, what would be better?!?
Plus, I never said everybody else holds like Rav Kook!!
February 14, 2012 2:31 pm at 2:31 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852616mddMemberAnd stop hocking about the Teimani ma’ase etc. Russia shmaded by far much more Jews in its history. To whom do you want to give Russia over?
February 14, 2012 2:04 pm at 2:04 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852615mddMemberHealth!!!Stop it already! What would giving E. Yisroel to Turkey accomplish? Me’stama, they are going to enforce t’znius in Beit Shemesh? Right? They are going to make a law that everybody has to be frum?
Ymb and the rest of the Satmar fans, stop the propaganda already! Stop with all the stories about this or that Godol who was machshiv the Satmar Rebbe! Almost nobody else held or holds like him!
February 9, 2012 3:38 pm at 3:38 pm in reply to: Unorthodox, thats definitely not the worst of it all. #850203mddMemberGAW, what she did is as bad as conversion, for crying out loud!!! She is completely OTD and maligns the Frum Yidden!
February 9, 2012 3:36 pm at 3:36 pm in reply to: Unorthodox, thats definitely not the worst of it all. #850200mddMemberGAW, you are so wrong with this “a Yid is a Yid” thing!!! A Yid, who does aveiros be’meizid, that changes his status — mefurashe Halochos about it. When she dies(unless she does te’shuva), her relatives are supposed to make a party! (I think, it’s in Y.D 345)
February 6, 2012 2:28 pm at 2:28 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852522mddMemberHaKatan, before Zionism, Jews in E. Europe had to endure cruel pogroms and persecution.
As far as Sefardim go, I do not know what would have happened, had they stayed in the Arab countries — they, to begin with, were not in good shape observance-wise.
mddMemberPBA, people did learn at night — the shul had oil or kerosine.
mddMemberLongarekel, how many Jews went off the derech because of Zionism? Few. Most of them would have been off anyway.
mddMemberOr at least, hundreds of thousands of Yidden.
mddMemberTora Yid, you are wrong! The other Gedolim have not accepted the extreme position of the Satmar Rebbe about the Zionism. They did not hold that better all the Yidden in E.Yisroel should be dead(c^v) rather than there should exist a Yiddishe medina(as the the Satmar Rebbe wrote) etc.!
mddMemberLongarekel, +1.
Lesschumras, when they were paskening, they were right according to the situation in front of them.
mddMemberDa’as Yochid, according to many, Hertzl was a tinok she’nishba.
mddMemberToi, which colossal tragedy did he cause?
mddMemberSam2, you got it wrong. A Bas Yisroel is forbidden to be with a Goy either through marriage or out of wedlock(and then it is also a mechuar ha’dovar in additon to the issur).
mddMemberUneeq, “ma’ase eretz Mitsraim” is a z’nus-related issur. All the applications of it have to do with inter-gender relations.The posuk itself is mentioned in the parsha of arayos. It not the same as thinking of eating treif. I am not sure that it would fall under “lo sasuru…”. For sure, it is not nice.
mddMemberUneeq, Gemora at the end of Kiddushin says that Yisroel(Yidden) lo nechshadu al ha’zohar ve’al ha’beheima. It is a kol she’ken that we do not suspect Bnos Yisroel of “ma’ase eretz Mitsraim”. We do have female life-guards at pools amd mikve-ladies at mikvaos. If a specific woman knows that she has a problem with those type of hirhurim, I need to investigate more.
mddMemberUneeq, min ha’stam, we are not concerned that a woman is going to have hirhurim about another woman, especially, just from looking at a picture with an untsniusdic model.
mddMember“Lo sasuru” applies to women — they are not allowed to imagine doing an aveira with a man,to whom that particular woman is an erva. Just looking at a picture of an immodestly-clad model is permissable for a woman.
mddMemberYitai, how can you send a guy like that to work in the outside world? If one guy was nichshol in a such a matzav, it is not a raya.
January 17, 2012 2:11 pm at 2:11 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852420mddMemberAnd do not tell me about taking Yidden off the derech — most of them would have been there anyway.
January 17, 2012 2:09 pm at 2:09 pm in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852419mddMemberHaKatan, 1) Yishmael is not Eisav (vis-a-vis “Halochah hi be’yadua…”);
2) How was Zionism a major disaster?
3) Where did Chafets Chaim harshly condemn them? In fact, his son wrote in his father’s name that Zionism ” metaher es ha’tmeim ve’ metame es ha’thorim”.
Please, clarify.
mddMember2sense, was Chafets Chaim a fan of putting all Frum people on the wellfare rolls?
mddMember2sense, all these claims of “the oral tradition” in addition to the Gemora is a pure Gilui Panim ba’Torah she’lo ke’Halochah. When some want to impose chumros all ha’Tzibur, they justify it with these type of stories.
January 16, 2012 11:37 am at 11:37 am in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852383mddMemberHealth, you got to first learn all the deyos, and then say things. It looks from your posts as if amost all Gedolim held like Satmar — it is not true.
January 16, 2012 3:24 am at 3:24 am in reply to: What's the argument against having a Madina? #852377mddMemberHealth, here you go again. Get it through your head: the Satmar and Brisk shittos are not the only ones on the topic, nor are they the majority either.
mddMemberHe wore short pants under the robe.
mddMemberI would like to second Oomis. In addition, there is a question as to the correct girsa — if ” lo shinu malbusham” should be there or not.
mddMemberThe way of some is to put forth chumros and claim some mekor for them when there is really none or almost none.
mddMemberGregaaron, a violator of the issurei arayos is a rashe de’chamas.
January 12, 2012 3:40 am at 3:40 am in reply to: Sem Girls Brainwashing Married Women working #842872mddMemberCleverjewishpun, what are you doing here? There are no Reform websites?
mddMemberYichusdic, there is no point in responding to you anymore. Anybody willing to see can see — the pshat in the Gemora. One can also learn the “Chofets Chaim” about these dinnim. Do not relegate tochecha or machoh to Amoroim or before only!
mddMemberThe Meforshim do not need to add to the openly stated. Be mode al ha’emes even though it does not fit with your wrong hashkofos!
mddMemberCleverjewishpun, if you have a relathionship with HKB”H. you love and fear him, it brings you to keep his mitsvos. At least, out of fear of punishment.
Mghanooni, everyone has a relathionship with HaShem. By definition.
