Truth be told, I do not need books when I know the mekoros and what Rabbonim pasken. If the Goyim do not like that you do not serve avoda zorah, it is tough luck on them. If they get an impression that the Jews are dishonest or have no derech eretz, it’s Chillul HaShem.
HRH and Truth be told, you indeed do have a huge misconception about what constitutes Chillul HaShem.
Truth be told, you are so yeshivish-wrong!! Not making a bad impression on the Goyim is Chillul HaShem. This concept has very strong foundation in the TaNaCh and Divrei Chazal. Look up the Gemora in Ha’Arel, to start with.
Moderator 80, causing Chilul HaShem is definitely playing with one’s eternal life. Causing non-Jews to think that frum Jews are rude people is definitely Chilul HaShem. Dovid haMelech gave over members of Shaul’s family to be killed to avoid Goyim having ta’anos. It is a gemora in Yavomos.
You have to find middle ground — not rude, but not too friendly.
Wolfish, I, obviosly, did not mean with one’s wife in private.
Mixed swimming is ossur; separate seating is a good chumra(but not really ossur); dancing without mechitsa is ossur.
Shimen, you mean Oomis needs to learn about Chassidishe chumros?(which in your eyes are fundamentals of Yiddishkeit). She is doing fine without them. There is no issur al pi Halocha to call a lady by her first name.
Daniel Breslauer, you are not allowed not to like a Yom Tov.
If one knows, he will not behave himself, he should no drink on Purim.
Definetely, a shaila of belonging (c^v) to kas(group) shakronim asher einam mekablim pnei HaShechina.
They do not admit to being wrong even when being lead down to Gehenom.
It says it about reshoim who are not from Yisroel. And it is not a posuk — it’s a Gemora in Eiruvin(around daf 17).
Grandmaster, too much make-up(which lead to gilui arayos) was during Bais Rishon, sinas chinom — Bais Sheini.
Msseeker, Reb Elchonon was talking about all the “-ism”s — he did not place a tremendous stress on Zionism.
Anon1mUos, There is Tochecha in the Torah. Then, Jews in Eastern Europe go off the derech en masse. Then, the Holocaust. Quite obvious.
Anon1moUs, what you are saying is outrageous! Jews in Eastern Europe were going OTD en masse before the WWII.Yes, in Poland and Lithuania, in particular. Hence, the over 90% death toll there. In Russia, there was a gzeras shmad, and in Hungary there was less OTD. Hence, the bigger survival rate. It is important to know history.
It is a beferushe Gemora(Yevamos 63A) that HaShem brings tragedy upon the Umos to scare Yidden. Ve’hem einam neki’im — she esh lahem aveiros, ve’gam hem sirvu lekabel es HaTorah.
She has the right to tell her husband:”Do not support me, and I’ll keep my earnings”.
Truth be told, when people can not deal with others because of insignificant, stupid details, you can not have achdus in Klal Yisroel, rather you risk pirud and sinas chinom.
Passion4music, I”ll keep on shooting while you rest.
Truth be told, looks have to do directly with the marriage. There are other things which do not or ,at least, should not matter. Certain hakpodos come from midos ra’os. These midos ra’os are the root of the sinas chinam which keeps us in golus. The Gemora at the end of Ta’anis says the the day that different shvatim were allowed to intermarry is a yom tov!
Grandmaster(“myfriend”), you are a farfrumt, very Yeshivishe fellow. Why is trying to be accepting of different types of Yidden, giving a Yid a chance not a ma’ala by you?
Yogibooboo, you are not a man, you would not understand. I am sure, a lot of these men, who say they do not have a problem, actually do have a problem, but they are not as careful and sensetive about it as they should.
Grandmaster(“myfriend”), I meant theoretically speaking — if I needed to.
Nishtdayngesheft, it is when some people are too much into their very own mesora that it hurts the achdus of Klal Yisrael.
I would.
Yogibooboo, the shaila is if it affected the man in a wrong way.
R’ Moshe held that events which are open to the public, must have a mechitsa. It is not a good matsav for a man to sit next to a dressed-up and make-uped woman, especially, a married one. Especially, when the seats are narrow and very much next to each other.
This discussion is ridiculous — there are ofene Gemoros as to when a divorce is appropriate and when it is not. And the Gemora is not as machmir as some of the very frum fellows here wish it did.
And I do think, the shidduchim are easier in a non-Chassidish place.
I want to emphasize the point raised by Health: it is an obligation for a man to be married (for ladies, too; but it’s a smaler one). At a certain point,a man(for sure) has to settle and get married – that’s the din.
“Myfriend”, a new name? Stop the paranoya.
The Goq, if you feel insulted, I apologize.
Arguing the shitos is totally fine. Getting personal is not.
Msseeker, I just critisized the extreme and twisted views of some people (of a certain affiliation) on these types of things.
Goq, a person can be executed for blasphemy, avoda zara (by saying “you are my god” to an idol) and insulting a melech for words alone.
There are all kinds of klippos.
Ofcourse, he tolerated his leutanents whom he knew to be ba’alei toeva (roehm and others).
Ofcourse, it is not true. He hated the Jews the most. As far as the ba’alei toeva go, he personally did not care so much.
The Goq, your views are so far from Da’as Torah and even common sense of an am ha’aretz. We do not believe in this garbage of unlimited free speach. Too bad that you have been brain-washed by the American values(r’l).
Not terribly shocked. These are arei Edom, that we are talking about.
s2021’s is a good idea, because it does not involve falsehood or being rude.
About the goals, I agree.
Btw, which places give those higher levels of s’micha? And what one has to know to get a higher-level s’micha?
Aries2745, 1) one can be a big Talmid Chacham without having a s’micha. Contemporary s’micha in America, at most places that give it, does not mean much. Usually, it means that the student learnt Basar be’Chalav and Ta’aruvos(Mixtures(of non-kosher and kosher)). He does not have to know anything else.
2) Even if the talmid does not retain it, it’s still a big Mitsva to learn. You, however, have the right to say: if I am going to support my son-in-law in kollel, I want someone who is succesful in his learning.
Observanteen, hashkofos are either right or wrong.
Canine, a kula from you? Wow!
Rock’n’roll is wild and inappropriate.
I heard that Yomim Noraim niggunim are from the time of the Beis ha’Mikdash. Otherwise, what the very Yeshivish olam considers to be Jewish music comes from Eastern Europe. It is true, however, that it is more eidel than the current American music, and more pleasant than the Arabic one (baying at the moon).
Observanteen, it is not assur to wear eye make-up(Shabbos 80A). The ladies (Bnos Tsion) from the Navi were married ones ( as opposed to single ones). It is from Rashi in Shabbos. However, it is true — some mariied ladies wear too much make-up. For single girls, to wear too much of it is not a middas Chassidus.
Canine, I feel like saying #5, even though I do not think so — just to attack your wrong hashkofa.
Gemora in Bava Metsia 83B shows that Bnei Torah would eat in an eatery (cafe). Rambam paskens that a Talmud Chacham should not eat “in a store”, unless it is shas ha’dhak.
Tums, are you serious? If somebody falsifies the Torah, what is his punishment?
