Rav Tuv

She looked at me with her very blank post-op face and said, “you think we didn’t know?”

Classic. I can really picture her saying that.

Let me ask another question:

Since when can you see male patients? You’re not a doctor, you’re not doing anything near pikuach nefesh, so how does a female dental hygenist get to see male patients?

You caask the same question by an GP. When one goes for a physiacl it isnt pikuach nefesh. And one can go to a same sex doctor. I think the answer is its mutar because it isnt derech chibah, IMHO.

Meanwhile there are several Segulos circulating with the advent of Rosh Chodesh Ellul, such as 1000 hours of non-stop praying at Mekomos heKedoshim

41 days non-stop? Where is this segula written?

Nisht,

Chareidim should be held to higher standards. They have self-proclaimed as above and more holy than everyone else. That is why some chareidim feel the necessity to counter anything they perceive as a slight to their beliefs. They can’t have it both ways. If they make themselves above everyone else, then they betteract that way.

I’m pretty sure if he was in Mitzrayim…he was older than 20 after 40 yrs in midbar.

That said, IIRC the Leviiyim did not die in the midbar and went into eretz yisroel. Is it maybe a gemara in bava basra?

Also i remember taht pesel micha was at kriyas hayam.

Utah, You missed my point and joke. Braun is a cheater. Pure and simple. If MLB was serious about steroids they would ban theses players. If players had to deal with a lifetime ban on the first positive test, they would rid the sport of steroids.

Mishna berurah is easier to learn and it is accompanied by the SA.

Beni, Saying there were multiple writers of Chumash (sic) is denying Torah min hashamayim. And somehow RD doesn’t want to call farber an apikores.

(he argued that we can accept ascription of much of the Pentateuch to other hands as longs as we maintain- that Torah is from heaven

utter foolishness!!!

There have long been traditionally/halakhically-observant thinkers who have engaged academic approaches in a serious way.

Like mendelson, ezriel landau, Mapu,etc.

traditionally/halakhically-observant thinkers who have engaged academic approaches in a serious way is the definition of an apikores who doesnt believe in Torah min hashamayim.

And the truth is you don’t really know these people. They are internet personnas. For all you know all those screen names can be the same person.

For anyone to deny that there are 4 distinct narrative voices indicates that that individual never studied religion from a critical or academic perspective. I long believed that Modern Orthodoxy must not ignore the evidence and claims made by the Academy.

A yiras shamayim does NOT study Torah from a critical or academic perspative. We study to learn to fulfill the mitzva of TT and instruction of how to do mitzvos.. This bible critique is a product of the haskala. RD im afraid you have gotten a hold of some rotten ideas of what Torah is.

Yes hypnotism works. I know first hand. There is no loss of daas, no trance. Hard to explain what happens but it works.

OOM- Slurpees are Parve.

I’m thinking RD likes to troll the CR and asks obscure questions to get a rise out of others for his own gratification. Yes that is the definition of a troll.

To be an apikores one has to know what he denies. How can H’ hold a Yid responsible if he has no clue about Hashem. Avraham Avinu was oich a koferoriginally according to R’ Chaim Brisker. He was modeh to a”z. Just like A”A came around to the truth so all Yidden who we call reform and conser should come around. But we have to help them or we cant fault them because the fault is really ours.

Syag, Coincidence my 7-11 also has only Kosher slurpees.

rd- “Reform, Conservative…” these people are kofrim. they are not a branch/sect of yiddishkeit. they dont practice judaism.

Reform and conservative Jews are not kofrim. The Chazon Ish was clear that they are Tinok shenishbu. They don’t know any better. You are so smug and if everybody isnt as frum as you, they are kofrim and reshaim. They are Jews as much as you are. As the Ramban says they may be shogeg but the way you talk about fellow jews are Mazid. And during the nine tug! Hashem yerachem.

If you are in Chicago go to a Cubs game on the 9 days. It has been making people cry for over a hundred years

And Zionism, both theoretically and practically, is indeed shmad, kefirah and more, which, in your illogical and unshakeable loyalty to your egel, you always refuse to see

This is hilarious stuff. You Mr Katan, have illogical and unshakable loyalty. Rabanim should leave politics to the politicians and teach Torah misinai and stop getting robots riled up with the zionist bogeyman.

Baseball…Go Cubs!!!

I guess mussar zoger missed one paragraph in a 2 paragraph post

Unlike the Goyim around us, we (religious) Jews don’t idolize movie stars. In fact, we don’t watch movies and TV at all.

Midwesterner huh? If you read his first paragraph you would see he knows who JG was. But he had to be arrogant and condescending, much the same way you were to me.

Unlike the Goyim around us, we (religious) Jews don’t idolize movie stars. In fact, we don’t watch movies and TV at all.

Hey religious Jew: if you dont watch movies and Tv…how do you know who James Gandolfini is?

Let’s improve our Tefillah during these Three Weeks.

Since bein adam l’chaveiro issues is the reason for the 3 weeks…Let’s be less judgemental of other yidden. We should concentrate on our own shortcomings than what others are doing.
