    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.

    Naiberg, 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.

    A 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).

    Yep, 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?

    That 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.

    Toi, 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.

    Toi, 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.

    Toi, 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!

    Toi, 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.

    Longarekel, the League of Nations authorized the UK to hold E. Yisroel till a Jewish state is founded. That was called the mandate.

    The 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!!

    Health!!!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!

    HaKatan, 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.

    Tora 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.!

    Sam2, 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).

    Uneeq, “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.

    Uneeq, 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.

    Uneeq, 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.

    “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.

    HaKatan, 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.

    2sense, 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.

    Cleverjewishpun, 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.
