And the reason that Lubavitch (as well some other chassidim) do not learn Chayai Odom is because of the author’s role in the Misnaged movement. (Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that, but no need to speak of that now and here.) The Chassidus I belong to doesn’t learn it either, but we DO learn Chochmas Odom on Hilchos Availus and the like, where there is no other sefer that handles the Halachos as understandably. (I believe there is no Shulchan Aruch HaRav on that either.)
Laskern: It’s not a <i>stirah</i>. The vaad is talking about the status of Klal Yisroel in general. Rabbi Aderet is speaking of the <i>avairah</i> that caused the massacre. Edom is going to be punished, jut it happened because of the Yidden sinning.
Takes 2,
I have news for you. The Satmar Rov, to the beat of my knowledge, paakened that it is traif gomur. So I don’t know where you get off saying that it isn’t according to that shitah.Rav Moshe Feinstien zt”l wrote in one of his teshuvos about cholov stam that it is proper for baalai ruach not to eat cholov stam, but it is assur to call anyone who does eat it a rasha, since there is support to permit it.

How is contempt anger?
I also add farfel and say “Unzer soin’im zol farfallen veren.”
The Little I Know,
“הקובע מקום לתפלתו אלקי אברהם העזרו. What is meant by קובע מקום is discussed by the poskim, whether it means the same shul or the exact spot in that shul.”
Well, the Mishnah Brurah says that it means the man’s seat in shul, but that anywhere he sits within daled amos of his seat is still his makom kivua.
akuperma,
These are good points. How do you know that South Korea wants to take over North Korea. I imagine it is true the other way.
In my shul there’s a takanah that no one is allowed to tell someone else that he’s sitting in his seat. That should be de rigeur (sp?) for all shuls, I think.
One can feel good for those people saved, and feel bad for those people in danger or hurt. You take time out for each feeling.
There are also many North Korea citizens who are innocent and don’t deserve to be killed. In addition, if The Donald reacts as he has always done, impulsively and without any inner correction, and drops a nuclear bomb on North Korea, EVERYONE, including our allies, will be quite upset. Moreover, it will open the playing field to indiscriminate nuclear use. Soon nations will be dropping nuclear bombs at any small provocation.
As I think Einstein put it, “I do not know what weapons will be used for World War Three, but World War Four will be fought with sticks and stones.”
According to the Derech Hashem by the Ramchal, there are several sources for personality. They can inherit middos from their parents, they are affected by their mazel, Hashem endows certain middos according to His plan, a person is affected by his experiences growing up (chinuch), and lastly, a person has bechirah to choose how he acts (within certain parameters).
And local towers have a connection? Or does data work by satellite?
I would like to know why everyone expects nissim geluyim when Moshiach comes. The gemara says there are 2 ways Moshiach can come. Either “achishenu,” hurried up and with nossim geluyim because all of Klal Yisroel has done teshuvah, or “b’ito,” in its appointed time and slowly, with only nossim nistorim because we have not done teshuvah. The second is the more likely, and in fact has almost begun with the slow return of Yidden to Eretz Yisroel from all over the world. Why does everyone expect nissim geluyim?
Apukerma,
I hear you. Those are good points. But there’s no question that pollution causes damage to the Earth. That’s why I think that the world should stop talking about such a politically charged yerm as “global warming,” and talk about pollution. THAT’S the real problem!Meno,
Probably <i><b>not<b><i>?? Haven’t you ever heard of nuclear winter?!? The debris from the explosions would cause a covering over the sky that would last a long time. Or so they say.And why couldn’t global warming be caused by people? If you dropped four nuclear missiles on the planet Earth, would that not cause global climate change? We DO have some control. We have polluted untold lakes and rivers. There are a number of cities in the world in which it is dangerous to breathe, the worst being Beijing. Humans have more power than wee can handle.
What about telling “fish stories?” You know, men vying for the biggest lie.
I don’t know. I see bear left and I frog right. What kind of desk does that make me? A 1997?
770Chabad,
The term you mean to use is “Ikvisa dimoshicha,” Aramaic for the “heels of Moshiach,” i.e., the time just before the Coming of Moshiach.
Yimois Hamoshiach will be AFTER Moshiach comes, and those will be nice times.
The Rambam in his Pirush Hamishnayos, Introduction to Perek Chailek (10th or 11th chapter in Sanhedrin), says explicitly that Moshiach will have at least one son, who will become melech after he passes away. That son will have a son who will become melech after the son, so that Malchus HaMoshiach will last at least three generations.

Rich people do not want to suffer from the pollution THEY make.
As I was taught some 40 years ago, when a judge sentences a man to death, the judge does not take into mind who will support the family after this man’s death. But Hakodosh Baruch Hu does. So if there is no income for the family besides that of the father, Hashem will often keep the man alive. But if there IS….
Breslov believes “der gantzer velt Breslov.” Chabad believes that the only Chassidus is Chabad and when Moshiach comes everyone will become Lubavitch.
How can they NOT conflict?Exactly. Anyone can become a tzaddik. A tzaddik gumer, however, is chosen, and also has to choose to be a tzaddik.
DaMoshe, I believe the Bal HaTanya is talking about tzaddikim GEMURIM, not tzaddikim.
Rebshidduch: Skver is a very closed town and chassidus. They jave vaadim for all sorts of things. They have a vaad for tznius, they have avaad that looks for anyone deviating even slightly from their way of life. Some people flourish in that sort of environmemt, and some people find it oppressive.
So it is perfectly understandable why someone would opt to leave that society. I don’t think it should be held against him.I had such a dream. I dreamt I woke up, got up and got dressed. At some point, I no longer recall when, I really woke up. I was confused, but only for a little while. It did not impact the rest of my day.
