How much does a xanax cost anyway? You want me to pay for it?
moski “confirmed” doodle
read coffee’s post. he/she knows what i was saying. he/she is not a dolt. I was lauding your theoretical skill at switching between screen names, not disorders.

When I was a teenager back in the late 1950s, my parents taught me not to write in caps lock to someone substantially older than me. I think 20 years is substantial. dont you?
Tell you what, Moski “confirmed” doodle.
If you are me in addition to being joseph, you’re pretty fast at switching back and forth.

people are not darts.
People are not guinea pigs.
I’m happy I dont know you.
I know its muttar. Any halachic source saying its assur wud be laughed at.
Like your favorite bar shattya always says- If you dont hate anyone, you dont stand for anything.

Why do suggest something is a problem if there is another side to the argument?
Isn’t it possible that this is not a problem?
are you suggesting that only you are right?
tell you what
if you really do believe in ayin hara but just say you dont, i bet the ayin hara boogeyman will get you real bad

Of course. How could I not.
7 blood sprinklings
7 lights on the menora
7 one-year old sheeps on rosh chodesh
brother-7 days of the week/days of creation
7 days of the week is not a jewish thing (except in ancient persia)
and there are 6 days of creation
this has been around since before the galus
As the custodian of my alma mater has said “its not gaava if its true.”
As far as the soft-spoken popa is concerned, it sometimes comes out a little harsher when the truth hits you in the face. Perhaps we are a little quick to attack people be they principals trying to instill the middah of tznius or be they soft-spoken people who try to give you hadracha.
It appears popa bar abba is the modern day zecharia. I suppose zecharia would still be alive had he only blogged his tochacha. and zecharia wasnt even your daughter.
I recently discussed this exact matter with a choshuv rabbi and he told me that indeed it is not tznius, but it is important so we are meikel. he said we know its important because its the mesora.
it doesnt matter. its the mesora.
nobody cud stop me from going to a hs girls graduation. woohoo.
Pashut pshat in the gemara in brachos is definitely that the peope were bad. I think this is forced by the premise that we dont kick people out of the bais medrash for not reaching the highest of the high. Perhaps you would try to say that that is exactly why reb elazar disagreed but i think that makes it harder to defend rabban gamliel who was a very smart man and worthy of our defense.
As for the halevai thing, that i brought just as a rayah to the power of torah
tbt
it seems you asked two questions requiring two answers.
Firstly learning torah is a powerful thing even when done by reshaim. One rayah to this may be from the mesilas yesharim which says that ????? ???? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ??? ?????? ?????.
You then suggest the people werent really evil. It appears to me that you are suggesting an alternative pshat which is not pashut pshat for what seems like no reason at all except your first question.
I however dont think your first question is much of a question and would rather learn as the gemara appears to be saying at first glance.
Truth be told
The gemara says that rabban gamliel did not let talmidim who were not tocho kboro in the bais medrash and reb elazar ben azaria did let them in. this esulted in more torah learning.
tocho kboro translated means inside like outside.
With my gemara learning training to back me up i suggest that the amoraim did not argue as to the evil of not being tocho kboro, but rather they argued as too whetger such a person should be allowed in the bais medrash.
On a previous point i was thinking about chitzonios meorer es hapnimios and i think that this itself is what causes that which i said in my original (civil) post meaning the following: When a person acts like they enjoy doing something that will affect their perception of themselves and they will enjoy it. (mesilas yesharim) When a person acts like a tzaddik they will end up thinking they are a tzaddik which will not change what they actually are for the better. (Me)
Ok i’m back hmmm whos first?
Clairvoyant
If what you originally meant by your first statement was that they always had a different standard of dress than the goyim, then your second statement would be relevant in that they didnt change that standard. I can hardly imagine it means they wore the same pair of pants every day like some yeshivish people might do.
Truth be told
#1 The relevance is the aveira of pretending to be something that you’re not
#2 It proves exactly my point seeing as the reason he abolished the rule was because he held that even people yeshivish beyond their level are allowed to learn torah. I never disputed that point.
Fistly how do you know that they always dressed differently?
Secondly, Dressing differently is not the same thing as having a uniform. (my proof is jewish womens dress today even by the yeshivish is not absolutely uniform.)
Thirdly Yeshivish is about alot more than dress. Outward appearance includes actions being done for what it looks like you are doing to yourself or others.
As for outwardly appearing jewish, nobody thinks my yarmulke means I’m a Catholic minister.
PBA
Why do you first suggest the OP should get clarity from the rav and then say you would just do it?!
truth be told
To answer your question we might want to examine the gemara on 28a of brachos which says that Rabban Gamliel wouldn’t let anyone into the bais medrash if he was not “???? ?????”.
Perhaps the distinction is that the MY is talking about actually doing the mitzva instead of just outward appearance. The MY is saying that by doing it you will want to do it.
Yeshivish is outwardly appearing as someone who does Tzaddik stuff.
Ok.
I thought about this a little bit. You are trying to say that yishivish equals tzadik and the more you got the bigger tzadik you are. Therefore you ask “How can it be bad to be the biggest tzaddik? More Olam Haba. Yay!”
The problem here is the premise. Yeshivish does not equal Tzaddik.
Yeshivish equals appearance of Tzaddik. There is no problem with appearance of tzaddik if the appearance matches the level you are on.
There are many problems related to this which may include but are not limited to: Sheker to yourself, sheker to others, gaavah, and the problems and sub-problems contained therein.
“Wherever you are in life good for you.”
HUH?? Is that Qabbalah? I haven’t the foggiest idea what you’re talking about?

It appears to me the only solid kasha here is the first one.
Explained in other words I think the kasha is- and if it isnt theirs its mine: The bc gives the appearance of being curved at on the left margin. this should appear should cause the entire left margin to curve lightly in appearance (as anyone who has read photocopied mareh mkomos knows). If you look at this link http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/release/sites/default/files/assets/obamacurve.jpg what they have done is put more of the green background on the left of the actual doc. the pattern matches up. It shouldnt. The pattern of the actual doc should curve and end up slightly below the superimposed pattern.

It would be reckless to marry someone without a plan of how to get food on their children’s plates. With that premise, If you aren’t going to marry her once you decide she’s your “bashert”, why date her at all?
The real point to be made here is that the head of the executive branch has no respect for the law.
This is especially disturbing when the law would seem to have been established to ensure that the president be a patriot.
Makes one question his loyalties.
(His loyalties aren’t the only thing that this makes a person question, and this isn’t the only thing that makes a person question his loyalties.)
pascha bchochma- People remember him being born in Hawaii.
Oh yeah? I suppose that makes the birthers wackos then, right?
Because the people who “remember” it aren’t wackos, right?
What if someone remembered him being born in Kenya?
Like maybe his grandmother for example (who said she remembers him being born in Kenya and then died of “natural causes” the day before the election)?
being a citizen from birth is not the requirement necessary to be president. oops.
we have a minhag to just follow halachos. This might stem from the halacha of v’samachta b’chagecha
Of course you dont. the finger method is for forgetting things. you can forget all kinds of things
justhold-
oh. oops. my bad.
health-
sorry buddy, you’ve got either two or four. if you want to count v’sain bracha it works exactly the same as l’hoshia mechalkel. Personally i suggest we count them both seeing as you have to repeat shmoneh esray for the lack of either omission.
health-
you forgot to say atah chonantanu
The source of the mitzva to rush through the seder is the nishama which wants to do things it gains from because it understands how it affects a persons middos. If it doesn’t understand it it becomes a mitzva just to do it. So the person just does it. Externally looking frum is stupid. If you think it should be done differently it must be understood to the point of articulation of how it afects your middos. Sorry, but “the frum people do it that way” just doesn’t cut it.
if you dont hate anyone you dont stand for any thing.
Besides, your point is silly. The world needs murderers and crack addicts. How do I know? They exist.

you do a disservice to g-d by quoting him partially. I believe the good book says “asher atem zonim achareihem.” What does this have to do with znus?
Call me a stoic, but I didnt smile
