preferably coupled with WebChaver
Absolutely! I highly recommend this for all your devices.
Shmili, you sound exactly like the second 15 year old bochur you described.
The halacha is that devices are only ossur based on specific sizes:
A flip phone is permitted regardless of its capabilities because it is small.
A smartphone is forbidden despite any restrictions because it is larger.
A tablet, however, is entirely permissible because it is even bigger and is necessary for learning, WhatsApp, etc. The same applies to a computer.
A TV screen, however, is too large and is therefore forbidden.
The Golus doesn’t end when we kill all our enemies, the Golus ends when we do Teshuva.
This is absolutely true.
We waged war in Gaza after Oct 7th, what are the results?
Halacha mandates fighting wars against our enemies whenever they pose a threat, whether in Eretz Yisroel or Chutz Laaretz, in Zman Habayis or in Golus (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 329).
The problem is that these recent wars were not led by military strategists focused on achieving total victory (as is obligated by halacha), but by diplomats strategizing how to keep other governments happy. This has cost many Jewish lives (think Yom Kippur War, Gaza Disengagement, etc.).
Menachem: Why is Israel so stupid that they keep committing suicide, as you explained?
Good question. I’m not sure I have the full answer.
Maybe it’s because the government’s main focus is promoting Zionism, trying to be a nationalist state like all the others, shaking hands with world leaders, instead of prioritizing Jewish lives.
They see themselves as a political entity striving to be like the goyim (and even more goyish than the goyim) because they lack the geon Yaakov to stand up for Yidden and Yiddishkeit without concern for world opinion.
ונהי בעינינו כחגבים וכן היינו בעיניהםMeanwhile, American politicians openly declare that Eretz Yisroel is G-d’s gift to the Jewish people, yet Israel itself traces its legitimacy to the UN’s decision to grant them a “state” with a flag and an anthem.
Instead of following the first Rashi in Torah on how to answer those who claim we stole the Land from the Canaanites or Palestinians (show them in their Bible – G-d created the Land, took it from the nations and vave it to the Jews), the Israeli government concedes that they “took” the “state” a few decades ago.
Chaim,
When you take a break from war and allow the enemy to rebuild, regroup, and rearm, many more people die. It’s called kicking the can down the road. Israel has done this for years. 1200 Jews died on Oct 7 because *some* Jews may have been saved by giving the terrorists the entire Gaza.
All the Jews who died recently in Lebanon was because Israel didn’t finish eradicating Hezbollah in 2006 to save some Jewish soldiers then. And that battle was because Israel withdrew in 2000, etc.
Imagine if US would have paused WWII every time a soldier was captured.
Well said Yankel.
MS, is there any way you can check on her and see if she’s getting the help she needs?
I wish I could help, but contrary to popular belief, Lubavitcher online posters do NOT sit together in an office under 770, receiving orders from mysterious employers on what to post. I have no idea who CS is.
Menachem Shmei, you’re not doing a very good job of representing Chabad Shlucha 🤣
Like any great lawyer, I plead insanity on behalf of my client.
Is CS lucid ?
Definitely doesn’t seem that way to me from her recent posts. Or just really lame trolling? 🤷♂️
Yankel, this may be an opportunity for us to agree 😃
Someone’s been reading Aleph Shin and got carried away
I honestly agree with DaMoshe here, just in the reverse 🙂
Personally I think this thread has been much more respectful sans אותו האיש 🤫)
איך הער
Lenny’s idea is my favorite in this thread.
Maybe we can incorporate it with the OP’s idea:
There should be a $100K fee for marriage to your first wife, and each time you marry an additional wife, you get $25K back.YWNCR 10 YEARS LATER:
How do we solve the sholom bayis/abuse/divorce crisis in our community?I know! How about we institute a ban on marrying more than one wife!
Menachem, it wasn’t directed at you but at the OP
From Yankel’s wording it seemed directed at Lubavitchers in general and the posters here in particular, but maybe.
A way to have humility is by saying “I don’t know, I’ll ask and get back to you”
True, that’s an option. Especially in a very civil, respectful conversation.
Whoops, the formatting got mixed up in a previous post. Just fixing that:
there are numerable questions and issues which are left totally unaddressed by the habad apologizers.
Maybe try changing the ratio to 90% questions and 10% raving attacks instead of the other way around.
If there would be serious [attempts or] answers to all the issues raised, with a serious ,open, honest and fact based discussion, then there would be no need for any ongoing posts.
They claim to have all the answers, but run away whenever there is a real challenge.I have answered many, many questions on this forum. You may disagree with my answers, but you can’t accuse me of running away from serious discussion.
However, if I don’t answer, it could be because: 1) I’m not in the mood to look things up and write detailed answers to complex philosophical questions. I’m doing something more important at the time.
Or 2) I don’t know the answer (I never claimed to have all the answers. That would be absurd.)
Or 3) You didn’t raise serious questions or discussion points, but instead resorted to rhetoric about how Lubavitch has all these terrible problems, which I’m not inclined to respond to.
Either way, your claim that my not responding to your angry posts on a forum is some sort of “Lubavitch addmision of guilt” is ridiculous.
Coffee, you’re right. I try to hold back but sometimes I just can’t resist taking the bait 🙂

For anyone who acknowledges that there are a few thousand more girls than boys and still believes that this crisis can be solved by having more shadchanim or some other solution, I admire your creative mathematical abilities.
You provided a number of how many older single girls there are (3000) and provided no number of boys, insinuating that there are no older boys so the 3000 older girls can only marry the 1200 new bochurim in BMG.
So from now on all boys must marry girls older than themselves and all girls must wait another few years before being married. Doesn’t sit right.
I can’t understand the OPs numbers. There are 3000 older single girls and ZERO older single boys!? Shocking.
And the solution – force a good couple not to get married because we need to get rid of other singles? Nuts.
DaMoshe thinks that The whole idea of “the tzaddik” as viewed by early chassidim is absurd.
Well, I think opposing chassidus is absurd. So what?
What is their source for that ?
Forget about Tanya for a moment. When anyone says that a certain Jew is “a great tzaddik,” what do they mean?
And what is their source that the person qualifies?
Is it because their Previous Rebbi took him for a son in law ?
No.
I noticed that if I swap every time Yankel mentions “Habad” with “the Joos,” his posts end up reading identical to classic Groyper ramblings on Twitter. Try it.
Ard, did you ask a rav before starting this lashon harah thread blasting YWN? Just curious.
The tragic status of the Jewish nation today regarding the Beis Hamikdash…
Duvid, you are displaying one of the very issues of Zionism.
Rambam rules that Melech HaMoshiach will build the Beis Hamikdash before Kibutz Goliyos, no posek argues with him.
Others say the Beis Hamikdash will descend from heaven.
No posek rules that Yidden, on their own, while still in golus, should begin building the Beis Hamikdash.
How does the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt’l answer those questions for you when you ask him shailas similar to the above examples.
UJM, I can’t speak for CS, but here are my thoughts:
While the Rebbe provided immense personal guidance, he often emphasized that answers or directives given to one person might not necessarily apply to another.
Especially in the later years, the Rebbe would frequently refrain from answering personal questions directly. Instead, he directed chassidim to consult with a mashpia, rov, doctor, or ‘yedidim mevinim’ — depending on the context of the question.
So, if I or anyone I know has a practical question like the one you described, we consult with the relevant individuals for advice, expecting that the guidance will be informed and guided by the wealth of the Rebbe’s teachings.
what does chabad think about the vilna gaon?
The Rebbe quoted him and referenced him often, with respect.
if it was a car that hit you, you would be dead
This is a correct and important distinction between cars and scooters.
Scooters are indeed dangerous, but so are bikes. It’s really hard to avoid using these when you live on the city and need to get across town quickly, and the driving and parking is horrendous.
If you want to get from one part of Brooklyn to the other, biking or scootering is by far the most efficient way.
Is 770 the dwelling place of the Shechina?
Do you believe that 770 is the Mikdash?“That’s absurd! Everyone knows the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, and the Shechina either returned to Heaven or rests at the Kosel. Right?”
But wait – the pasuk says that after the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, the Shechina dwells in the “small mikdash.”
Where is the “small mikdash” (or “second to the Mikdash” –Rashi/Targum)?
R’ Elazar says (מגילה כט,א): “This is the house of our rebbe in Bavel.”“The Shechina remained with the Jews wherever they were exiled” – but where?
Abaye says it’s in the central Beis Knesses of the time.Now, the question is: Where is the “central shul”? And who is “our rebbe”?
That’s up for debate, but I think you can guess what the average Lubavitcher would answer…
CS, thank you, I appreciate your comment.
I’m trying to stay out of these questions, you’re handling them really well, great style.
Except some questions set my alarm bells ringing so I couldn’t resist responding.
Strangely I have yet to see a JEM video that covers a story that didn’t work out, that could mean one of two things:
1. The Rebbes brocha works 100% of the time
2. You know the answer.
Maybe you should encourage everyone here to write panim to iggros and the Rebbe will tell them to become lubavitchers!Funny that I have yet to see emuna videos/books with stories of people davening to Hashem and their prayers not being answered.
Maybe daven that everyone on YWN see the truth and agree with you.
I apologized those in the coffee room apparently satan made me ask those questions to stave off the Geulah and because I want to create arguments in Chabad. I’m glad the shlucha has everything figured out for us lol!
Lostspark, I don’t think CS was saying that you were influenced by the Satan and distancing Geula. I think she was answering your question about why there is machlokes. Machlokes (“midyan”) is caused by the Satan (“samech mem”) and distances the Geula.
My mistake I asked a knowledgeable kind Lubavitcher that didn’t think the Rebbitzin wore a sheitl,
Well, obviously s/he wasn’t knowledgeable enough. 😃
(They obviously didn’t know the Rebbetzin personally, and were just guessing from the gray hair. As I said, the Rebbetzin wore a gray sheitel covered partially by a tichel, as was told to me by the one who often brought it to the sheitelmacher).
Lostspark, don’t believe everything you read. If some things you read cause you to question, I suggest you find a knowledgeable, kind Lubavitcher you could trust to discuss these ideas with and hear his thoughts.
An example of a misunderstood fact that you mentioned (among others):
How come the Rebbitzin didn’t wear a sheitl but the Rebbe encouraged all Lubavitch women to do so? How come everyone lies when asked?
This is simply an error.
I just spoke to a guy who would bring the Rebbetzin’s sheitel to a sheitelmacher (Mrs. Kugel) all the time. In later years she had a gray/silver sheitel, and she would wear a tichel partially covering it.
(In the Rebbetzin deposition video, she is wearing this sheitel and tichel, as this man told me – he was present there as well.)
Y.W. Editor, chill, the OP was just trying to get the mods to wake up. It’s good to see that you’re still alive 😜
RABBI POSNER’S BOOK Part #2
Qwerty: [Posner] said that Abraham’s first nine tests weren’t tests.Rashi and Rambam and others have lists of the ten tests, but Posner disagrees with them. He holds that Avrohom was just being a nice guy.
Rabbi Posner actually just brought a famous vort, written by the Vilna Gaon and others. Rabbi Posner was quoting it from a maamar Rebbe Rayatz.
First, here is what the Vilna Gaon wrote: “By the Akeida Hashem said “Now I I know that you fear Hashem,” because until then Avraham was only a great rachman (merciful) for he would invite guests and do acts of kindness. However, the middah of Achzariyus (cruelty/severity) and forcing himself to fulfill Hashem’s mitzvos was not yet apparent in him, and people could have said that Avraham is not a tzaddik gamur ch”v.
However, at the Akeida, when he also acted with the middah of Achzariyus, for he had a complete desire to fulfill Hashem’s command and slaughter his only son, then he was complete, and it was clear that he was a tzaddik gamur.”
See it here, in his sefer Kol Eliyahu: https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14227&st=&pgnum=7Rabbi Posner echos this idea in his chapter on the concept of Avodah. He begins by bringing the holy words of Tanya, based on Gemara, that the true meaning of Avodah is not “serving Hashem,” rather, serving Hashem beyond one’s personal nature, through struggle. If one is accustomed to learning each inyan 100 times, avodah means learning it 101 times (this is from Gemara).
Rabbi Posner goes on to bring an example from a maamar of the Rebbe Rayatz: “After Abraham had passed his supreme test of faith, having bound his own son Isaac to the altar as a sacrifice, G-d said to him, “Now I know that you are G-d-fearing.” Now Abraham’s characteristic way of serving G-d had always been based on love. Is not that kind of service, the Rebbe asks, superior to a service founded on fear? He then proceeds to answer his own question. Without a doubt, Abraham’s love of G-d was sublime, and his love of man, too, was all-encompassing, extending even to the stranger and the undeserving. But Abraham did not acquire this quality through personal struggle; he had been born with it. … In fact, Abraham never considered himself to be an adequate servant of G-d, for he felt that all his service had been accomplished through gifts with which G-d had endowed him, and not through his personal endeavors. It would not be blasphemous to suggest that perhaps G-d, too, was not “sure” whether Abraham’s service was purely one of love because this was Abraham’s very nature, or whether Abraham consciously felt that this was the proper way of serving G-d. Abraham was, after all, a free agent with a free will. Is the kindly person hospitable because he is kindly, or because G-d wills him to be so?
When Abraham, the epitome of kindliness, is prepared to act so cruelly toward his son, “his only son whom he loves,” then he is acting contrary to his habit; he is suppressing his natural mercies, performing an act diametrically opposed to his innate nature. His motivation could only have been “fear of G-d,” a new mode of Divine service, not usual or natural to him, but the result of deep personal conviction and hard personal struggle. Whether the service born of love is superior to the service based on awe or “fear” is irrelevant for our present purposes. Our concern is only whether the service is “natural” or whether it represents the fruit of effort, of avodah. This is the test of effort that Abraham had to pass when he readied his son for sacrifice.
Abraham added a new dimension to his service of G-d, for now, in addition to utilizing his natural trait of love in his relationship with G-d, he had succeeded in serving G-d also through the acquired quality of awe….”
RABBI POSNER’S BOOK Part #1
Now you get a glimpse into Shmei’s duplicity. He claims not to have read the book yet he accuses me of distorting what the author wrote.
Okay Qwerty, I found the book.
Zalman Posner was a prolific Chabad writer . One of his books is called “Why Be Jewish?”
If you can’t even remember the NAME of the book “Think Jewish,” how do you expect to remember the content accurately?
This chapter is called “,Why Be Chabad?”
The chapter is actually called “How Does Chabad View Other Jews — How does Chabad view Reform and Conservative Jews?”
Posner begins as follows, “There are 2 types of Orthodox Jews. The first are careful with Kashrus, Shabbos etc however they have no interest in any Jew outside of their immediate circle. We call such Jews insulated. In contrast we have Chabad who are the only Jews who understand and practice the concept of Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh Lozeh.”
Qwerty, why was it necessary for you to pretend that Rabbi Posner wrote “Chabad who are the ONLY Jews…”? This is a lie.
This is some of what Rabbi Posner actually wrote (I am putting what I want to highlight in bold):
“One camp in the Torah community consists of the inward-looking, modern “shtetl-type” community. The other is represented by Chabad-Lubavitch and others who share their view on the relations between observant and non-observant Jews. We might call the first community the enclave and the second, the activist.
The enclave community is inward-directed, concerned only with its own perpetuation, with preserving and developing itself, with transmitting Torah and Yiddishkeit to their children and their own adherents. They have achieved remarkable levels of Torah scholarship and mitzvah observance, and have been enviably successful in perpetuating their communities. In these circles assimilation is virtually unknown. On the other hand, their influence, at least their direct impact on the rest of the Jewish world, is small. They are fearful lest involvement with the non-committed may somehow dilute the commitment of their own people…
Not so the activists, particularly Chabad-Lubavitch. Chabad-Lubavitch stresses an ancient Torah concept, namely, that all Jews are responsible for one another, in more than a material sense. The founder of Chabad went so far as to say that a Jew who helps another Jew to regain his virtuousness by means of the Jewish mind and purified and refined “a thousandfold.”…”
All Rabbi Posner wrote is that some frum communities are more insular while others are more outreach oriented, and the Chabad derech is the latter.
A. What could be wrong with that statement?
B. Qwerty, why did you have to change what Rabbi Posner wrote to fit your angry narrative?Now you get a glimpse into Shmei’s duplicity. He claims not to have read the book yet he accuses me of distorting what the author wrote.
You have the book. Why not quote it directly?
Why are there advertisement threads being posted?
Why is the most vile language being posted?
MODS?
“YESHIVA” World!?
Why are there advertisement threads being posted?
Why is the most vile language being posted?
MODS?
“YESHIVA” World!?
And as for the Rebbe’s proof that all Jews will be redeemed. I was taught his Sicha. The Haggadah says we tell the Rosho that had you been there you wouldn’t have been redeemed. But at the final redemption, you will be redeemed.
You obviously have a very short term memory (one of your more minor flaws) so I’ll just repost part of what I answered you in the past:
“I will try to enlighten you:
The Rambam writes (Hilchos Teshuva 7:5) “וּכְבָר הִבְטִיחָה תּוֹרָה שֶׁסּוֹף יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשׂוֹת תְּשׁוּבָה בְּסוֹף גָּלוּתָן וּמִיָּד הֵן נִגְאָלִין” – “The Torah has already promised that the Jewish people will do teshuva at the end of golus and immediately be redeemed.”
The Baal HaTanya (Tanya ch. 3 & Hilchos Talmud Torah) understands this to refer to every single Jew, as it states לא (בלתי) ידח ממנו נדח – “no one who was banished from Him [by his sins] will remain banished.”
So, when the Rebbe said every Jew will be redeemed and we should try to reach every Jew for teshuva, he was just following the Baal HaTanya.”
Now, your next ignorant “attack” will be that this goes against the Gemara in Sanhedrin which you completely misunderstood. Since I’ve already responded to that multiple times, I’ll just keep that part of my response handy, I’ll let you attack first.
MODS, this is highly inappropriate.
If you call this “Yeshiva World,” it should be somewhat befitting for religious Jews to converse in a religious manner.
To Menachem Shmei. The only thing stupider than your “proof” is … When Hashem said “Now I know etc ” He.meant that after the Akeidah there was absolutely no doubt that Avrohom would do anything to serve Him. In no way does Hashem’s statement detract from the previous tests.
I’ll just repost what I wrote several times:
“Moreover: The Gemara says (and it’s brought in Rashi), why did Hashem tell Avraham קח נא – “PLEASE take your son”? Because if Avraham would fail this test, people would say about the first tests לא הי’ בהן ממש – “they had no substance.””.I haven’t looked at this thread for a while, but the sickening name-calling from Qwerty should not be allowed. Is there anyone moderating anymore? Or did the cofferoom turn into a smelly mud-slinging cesspool?
There is clearly a lack of moderation in the CR these days.
This is especially demonstrated by the fact that when Qwerty joined originally, almost every post of his (iirc) was edited by the mods.
Now, he spews his vitriol without any filters (including disgusting, baseless smears that are היפך הצניעות, against Lubavitchers and non-Lubavitchers alike).Zalman Posner was a prolific Chabad writer . One of his books is called “Why Be Jewish?” It’s a very well written series of essays. In one such piece he discusses…
Qwerty, I don’t understand you. If you keep repeating the same “attacks,” why bother rewriting them every time? Why not just copy paste the same words you wrote last time?
Either way, I guess I’m more efficient than you. Since I already spent time formulating responses to you, I’ll just repost what I wrote previously.
he discusses the Akeidah and states that it was the only test that Abraham passed because the other nine were just examples of Abraham being a nice guy. This is paf for the Chabad course.
I answered this a few hours ago, showing how this is based on Rashi (“they would say that the previous tests had no substance”), and if you go to my earlier posts you will see that the Vilna Gaon (also a Chabad chossid?) says this exact vort.
Posner begins as follows, “There are 2 types of Orthodox Jews. The first are careful with Kashrus, Shabbos etc however they have no interest in any Jew outside of their immediate circle. We call such Jews insulated. In contrast we have Chabad who are the only Jews who understand and practice the concept of Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh Lozeh.”
Now I’ll just copy paste what I posted last time you kvetched about this:
“I don’t have the book, but I doubt he wrote it the way you’re presenting it. Either way:
What you have here is simply a Lubavitcher explaining why he believes Chabad’s derech is unique and important. It’s no different from a Satmar chossid saying: “There are some Orthodox Jews who are Zionists, but Satmar follows the true Torah derech of opposing Zionism.”
If a Satmar chossid doesn’t believe that his derech is the truest, and instead says that being a Zionist is just as valid, then he isn’t really Satmar, because he doesn’t even believe in his own views!This doesn’t mean that every Lubavitcher, Satmar, Zionist, or Brisker thinks that they are personally superior. Each individual knows their personal faults (hopefully), but we believe we are following the best derech.”
I retract my apology now. I personally didnt insult anyone for believing Yaacov Avinu is physically alive… It is only later after I was personally attacked that I started defending myself and it got personal.
Wow, you retracted your apology and went right back to being a shameless liar.
Let me reiterate what I posted yesterday:
You, Philosopher, opened the discussion about Yaakov lo mes, with this post:
“It is Lubavitche like you who twist everything out of context. For example when Rashi says that Yaacov avinu did not die there are numerous mefarshim that explain what it means. There is no mefoiresh saying that he is here with us physically. And yet i heard a Chabad rabbi claim that Rashi said that Yaacov is with us physically; that is a lie.”
Before anyone began attacking you, you posted another post:
“you have to be “not too smart” to even think that Rashi thought that Yaacov Avinu is still PHYSICALLY alive during his time…”
Here you are, attacking the many Jews (Lubavitchers and non-Lubavitchers) who understood the many meforshim that were posted differently from you.
Yet, yesterday you shamelessly proclaimed: “It is a deeply disturbing fault of one’s character to attack someone continously because they dared to say pshat on a Rashi thats different than what their rebbe in cheder taught them.”
כל הפוסל במומו פוסל
Pot calling the kettle black.As for your assertion that the Gaon and the ……… Posner said the same thing about Abraham’s tests. Total Chabad lie. Posner said that the first 9 tests weren’t actually tests, they were just examples of Av raham being a nice guy.
No, he said that the first nine tests would be PERCEIVED to not be tests, as RASHI writes and is implied from the CHUMASH.
I explained this clearly before, but I guess it doesn’t hurt to repost an excerpt of that post (see my original post for many sources):
“After the tenth test of the Akeida, Hashem said עתה ידעתי כי ירא אלקים אתה – “NOW I know that your fear Hashem.”
The obvious question is, why only now? Wasn’t Avraham tested nine times before?
Moreover: The Gemara says (and it’s brought in Rashi), why did Hashem tell Avraham קח נא – “PLEASE take your son”? Because if Avraham would fail this test, people would say about the first tests לא הי’ בהן ממש – “they had no substance.”
Why would the first tests be worthless just because Avraham didn’t pass the last one?
One of the answers given is that since Avraham’s nature was מדת החסד, it would SEEM that he only passed the first tests because they fit with his nature. However, by passing the tenth test (which went against the מדת החסד), it became clear that he passed all of the tests only for the sake of Hashem.”
Philosopher, I hope you will come to realize that when people attack Chabad (or any other group, for that matter), it often stems from a complete ignorqnce of something widely accepted in mainstream Torah understanding.
For example, when Qwerty thought it was a Chabad invention that עתיד החזיר ליטהר, or that Avraham’s tenth test gave (public) credibility to the first nine.
Or when Coffee Addict thought it was a Chabad invention that Rashi on Chumash often doesn’t align with Rashi on Shas, or the minhag of taking of shoes before kivrei tzaddikim.
This should make you think twice and three times, and do lots of research, before deciding to attack a Jewish group just because you weren’t aware of their ideas beforehand.
I absolutely apologize for mocking people who learnt and understood that Yaacov Avinu is physically alive. At that time I didn’t know this was taught in many chedarim and yeshivas.
I respect this. 🤝
