how can you do mitzvos if you don’t learn about them? study is greater than action, because study leads to action. (action does not lead to study)
I have a problem with my tefillin shel rosh constantly falling lower than it should be.
what felony did you commit c”V?
you’re absolutely wrong. Where would you have gone in 1939 besides “Palestine”?
@cb1 A true hero is modest 🙂
Moshiach is right around the corner. The holy Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, King Moshiach Shlita, has stated that this will be the last generation of golus and the first generation of geulah.
Thanks for the inspiration.
It is a tremendous mitzvah to desecrate Shabbos for the sake of pikuach nefesh.
You can go on Matzav.com to see stuff that happened in the history of KLAL YISRAEL. Today (the 18th of Chesvan – which is really yesterday by the time I am posting this – is the yartzeit of the holy Rav Meir Kahane, HY”D.
Ok, what about me? And kapusta, your answer was hilarious!!!!!!!! I think it would be assur for me to read on Tisha B’Av 🙂
So what about gum or candy? Is the issur only while walking? What if I sit down on a park bench (outside) to eat something, and then stand up? What is meant by “the street”?
Jackie Mason is very pro-Israel. Look him up on Wikipedia. He’s a Kahanist.
I didn’t fast b/c of a medical condition, so I had to eat small amounts of yogurt & water every ten minutes (which is not considered eating).
Does the mitzvah include drinking, or only eating?
Amen! And may we merit the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days!
It’s not funny. It’s very sad.
Did the mitzvah to eat start at sundown yesterday or at dawn today (the 9th of Tishrei)?
I get the feeling that we’re going to learn of a great kiddush Hash-m tonight or tomorrow, with the resounding victory of BT and the resounding defeat of Weprin and his toeiva/ class warfare schmutz.
WE WANT, WE NEED, MOSHIACH NOW!
I believe with perfect faith in the coming of Moshiach ben Dovid, and even though He may tarry, I still believe and I still await his coming each and every day.
Something tells me that with the declaration of Palestinian statehood set for Sept. 20 and Iran, Egypt, Syria, etc. all hating Israel … something tells me that we will be celebrating Rosh Hashanah in Yerushalayim. The Talmud states that the Redemption will take place in Tishrei. Tishrei is coming, Yidden, Tishrei is coming!
Hashem has decreed an all-out war against Israel a LONG time ago. It’s called the War of Gog and Magog, the war preceding the Final Geula. Let us daven with perfect kavanah that it will be speedily in our days, sooner than any of us can imagine. Amen!
Thanks, ItcheSrulik.
BTW, I do not agree that one should not go to college at all.
Just read that there was another earthquake in Albany this Shabbos. Thanks for passing toeiva marriage, Governor Cuomo!
Oy gevalt. A reminder that we are in galus.
Yep, Moderator-80 is extremely strict today. Cheer up, man!
I am so sorry. And this is during the Three Weeks, a time of tremendous calamity for Klal Yisrael.
Blessed be the True Judge, and may your friend know no more sorrow.
I have no idea. My guess is 40.
I’m confused – What yom tov are you cooking for?
The 7 Commandments of Noah are for the seventy nations. However, right now there is no beis din and we are in galus, where the law of the land is the law.
So, if NY had a death penalty and Levi Aron’s crime met the criteria (it does, unless he’s insane), then I would have no problem with his being executed.
He who is merciful unto the cruel will one day be cruel unto the merciful.
This, of course, is a hypothetical question – because NY, being the bastion of liberalism that it is, does not have a death penalty.
Wolf,
EXCELLENT, excellent question.
Ultimately, in the time of Moschiach (may he come speedily in our days), every single Jew will have a share in the World to Come.
As we learn in the Ethics of our Fathers,
All Israel has a share in the World to Come, as is stated: “And your people are all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever. They are the shoot of My planting, the work of My hands, in which I take pride.”
(Sanhedrin, 11:1)
Also, you probably know about the suicide of Saul – which was justified, so it depends on the circumstances.
Interesting stories – but I wish you would stop separating between Yid and goy.
Would you do these kindnesses for a goy you didn’t know? Would you YOURSELF do them for anyone?
Packman – Yes, there are countless ways to get out of jury duty, but we are not talking about that. This is a serious discussion of a specific circumstance, whether a Yid is halachically permitted to sit in judgment when two Yidden are fighting one another in secular court.
The point is not to get out of jury duty b/c one wants to get out of jury duty; this was a halachic question about doing the right thing.
Of course, a frum Yid is not supposed to report another Yid to a goyishe authority (with exceptions).
HASHEM just means “THE NAME.”
In fact, there is no obligation to write “G-d” instead of “God,” and it IS permissible to erase His name if written in a language other than the Holy Tongu/ Hebrew.
bygirl93 – The first one links to the conversion chart – and it DOES work. It shows that you can get up to NINE questions wrong and still score a 99.
The second link does work, but the answers are not yet ready. You will have to keep checking until Shabbos (as I will), and then again next week if you want to check your answers.
On a side note, I think the test was extremely easy b/c (Baruch Hashem) I took AP in school. I didn’t like the geography questions, but I put Appalachian Mountains as a result of Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase, and Great Lakes for the iron ore question.
RIVKY101 – What’s so hard about it? 1920s- prosperity, business, Coolidge; 1930s- Depression
Outside info would have been HC Hoover, since there was no mention of him in the Docs.
I wrote about bootlelegging and organized crime as a result of Prohibition, but forget to mention the word speakeasies.
As for consequences of 26th Amendment, what could you have said? The election of BH Obama?
The conversion chart for US History is up – http://www.nysedregents.org/concht/611/us-cc611.pdf – and it’s AWESOME!!!!
