the rabbi orlofsky show
Mabel Tov!!
Probably lots of semantics but my guess is the one making the bracha means “learning of torah and following in the the ways of the teachings of chassidus.”
Pretty silly to use this discussion to argue if chassidim or litvaks are right.
IDK halacha, but i assume that reading those fictions to show theyre false (which im sure some say you shouldnt, and if youre young i doubt anyone would be pro) is because of Da Ma LHashiv Lapikores. I dont know if they can enjoy it.
Regardless, noone is doing that with star wars.
I know in recent one the bad guy davened to darth vaders helmet. Im not a baki, don’t remmbr exactly what it was that made me feel it was A”Z, the friend i was with agreed with me that our younger brains may have missed that
great stuff but as i saw the more recent ones i realized the force was kinda a religion/ A”Z
Yep, Beis Halevi says the same thing, and that’s why Egypt turned on the Jews, “vayahafoch libom lisno osam.”
That being said, we should still not try to instagate anything.

My friend always encourages me to say tehillim and im glad he did/does. Cant recount any stories offhand but definitely saved my back on many tests i was gonna fail. Id love to hear stories also, an im sure there are. Please share, it’d be a chizzuk
Great shiur with his trademark honesty and humor
its the first one? remember it being a hard one
Wow great thread. Just saw something somewhere pointing out how amazing it is that most of the things that people go nuts from, wanting and feeling jealous about, and/or killing themselves trying to get those things, or not on the list.
Ha dont judge, I get it
What? don’t all litvish know the beautiful story with r chaim shmuelevitz?
“vein mameh vein”?Oh man, i didn’t know it stops by marriage. Gotta tell my parents
I dont know how to get it on whatsapp. U can get it via email, dont know if theyll let this link
It is a part of a yeshiva called Yeshivas Ateres shimon. If the above link was remoed u can check out their website and find the links in the bottom right corner. The email comes with a written version and a link to hear it
no way!! whered u see this?
*same
was wondring samw. Wanted to check gur aryeh. Pretty sure it talks about the slav in a positive way in tehillim also, or in a miraculous non-negative way.
I havnt leant as much bkiyus, but theres a certain connection to the learning i got from learning iyun style. There was life there, it went through my body. And the enjoyment after working for hours and finally breaking through was amazing. I believe even if later in life i won’t have the chance often to accomplish that, a bond was forged in my heart.
Didnt do so well for my self esteem tho, not covering so much ground. Also, many guys dont have the ability to cover ground on a less deep level and still retain an enjoyment in it. When trying to keep guys invlved in learning this may be a reason to learn iyun style.
people driving with the blinker on for no reason
Well i dont know about that. Lifnie iveir??? He shouldnt be a rav?
I really hope more people start realizing that it isnt just fanatic zealot frummies who are screaming about the risks having a smartphone without a filter. The problems are real, people.
Maybe that’s part of the problem. If u see someone being too extreme (to you) about it youre like, “this guys a super fanatic.” Hope not. From what i understand, there have been more intercommmunity discussions between the MO and righter wing regarding these problems as they effect all people. Shame such a thing had to bring them together.
I agree, even if you dont like the artscroll look, they revolutionized the siddur.
I think we’re kinda spoiled and that’s why we want a siddur with EXACTLY the way we daven. I used to feel this way a lot when i ws younger but i think i got over it.
Real cool, my shul has a certain nusach they use and recently got a custom nusach artscroll Shatz sized siddur for the amud. Until then it was full of don’t and do’s with arrows and stuff.
Personally im used to the artscroll but started using kol yaakov siddur a lot more. The letters have a warmer look to them. Id say in my limited travels to shuls n shteeblach the kol yaakov is the no. 2 siddur out there popularity wise
Are there any studies on hearing a name a seeing a color dress? Any pattern?
There are those that say that big rebbes knew how to transform a non jewish song into a ruchniyusdke song.
Also, some tunes by themselves can be kinda less kosher to even an unsuperpro ear. Without lyrics. There are tunes that are slightly better and with the help of added jewish lyrics dont have the same effect. This is only about the basic conscious not-too deep level.Besides that theres many different opinions people mention, here (lots of threads) and coffee rooms all over, about what can make a song bad. IIRC:
A) composed by Less Kosher Person
B) originally sung by LKP
C) The above but not when redone by jew
D) anything after 1950
E) Dylan may be ok plus he’s really jewish
F) Lyrics need soap
G) Pushes a culture and way of life (especially for fans) which is off base
H) A tune or beat that negatively effects a person
I) One direction
J) idk im tiredPeople argue how to treat what they hold as non jewish if it gets used by a frum jew. Think that sums it up. For more info search the cr there must be at least 5 threads about this
Btw i hope you all dont bring up your children a certain way just because you stubbornly have to follow thru with what you posted on a forum.
Ive been flipping back and forth with where i stand in regarding the non-jewish music for many years. Recently my feeling has been, after experimenting for a while, that after listening to goyish music for a while (even rock/classic rock) i do present symptoms of thinking less jewish and caring about less jewish things (including but not limited to Vhameivin Yavin). That’s with avoiding overtly highly inappropriate songs. Here and there i may put something on to chill me out cuz im still in transition stage but really trying to limit the use.
There really is a large selection and variety of jewish music out there today. Also, if u are a person that really connects to music and enjoy that connection, when you (i?) listen to a solid jewish song you will almost always be able to connect so much deeper to it. (I think i catch myself holding back from letting go and connecting to goyish music at times.) Thats a phenomenal phenomenon cuz u can literally gain a more emotional real connection to, and love of, ur jewishness and want for growth as a person. Without doing anything.
For those of you that were brought up on strictly jewish music, you’l feel more at home and in ur zone with jewish music. Me and friends were searching for ourselves for some years, trying to get more real. Thought opening myself up to world in general and the world of non jewish music would help in that search. For now, my belief is youre most real when you are who u were brought up as. May not be cool, but being honest it’s the real deal. Furthermore, you are jewish, you aren’t not jewish, so be jewish and you’l be more in sync.
Weird, think most of this was for myself, feel free to read. Gut’n chodesh.
THANKS LIL FROGGIE! THIS IS VERY INTERESTING!!!

Just went out recently and was gonna go there but it closes early still. Not sure when the schedule changes. Also, while i do really like going there on dates, ive found that there are usually untznius women there. Even if u aren’t makpid, it can be distracting and take away from ur interest in ur date.Theres a starbucks my friend told me about by one of the entrances, real convenient to sit down in before or get a bottle of water.
THink touro takes some of the credits but you’ll need lots more for a bachelors there. There are some accounting prgrams available that many frum people take but i dont know too much. There’s an accelerated masters in accounting program available from Pcs thru FDU that takes year and a half (maybe quarter) which i hear is very rigorous. But they have great placement and its a masters.
My best advice is to ask around, ask friends and friends of friends. People involved in school are usually helpful and like sharing/helping. Good luck!
I agree it does make sense, if you can, to figure out what you’d b interested in doing. A BTL may not help u that much for the job you like but it probably will be worth investing the extra time and effort.
no q bt had way harder. R-e-s-p-e-c-t

mazal tov all!
See joe, he agrees with me
(i was about to put an emoji so u know im saying it with a smile but i dont really do that, forgot how to imply it tho)bout to go out with girl that lives bit out of town and just w parents at home no friends around so she moved in to apt w friends. But not the usual typical id say
That’s totally shtusim. It is a popular misconception, but a misconception nonetheless.
Im not sure if thats what u were referring to when u said there’s no difference. Agree to disagree.oyoyoyoyoyoyoyoy I disagree. I see many immature girls, and meet many mature guys.
It depends on the people, don’t generalize.I did write “usually more”. Yes, it is a generalization, there are exceptions, probably many. But i dont think it makes sense to push the general typical 21 old boy to go out with a 24 yr old girl. Joe thinks theres no difference btween 21 boy w 24 girl or 21 girl w 24 boy. I say there is.
It isn’t any different for a 21 year old boy to date a 24 year old girl than for a 24 year old boy to date a 21 year old girl.
I disagree. Girls at 24 are usually more mature and have gone thru “life” more than 21 yr old boys, expecially learning guys. 24 yr old boy and 21 yr old girl has better odds.Elitist Kollel guy
haha painting that kettle black with a broad brushNo
(btw, i really hope noone is getting told to date anyoneMaybe its worth it to invest in a real therapist. Props for u call for help, takes courage.
Besides for whatever u do, gotta ask the above for helpBump.
It’s been getting worsecan only say half-halal
I had a potato kugel miracle last night. I was on a walk with a friend and we both agreed we had a craving for some potato kugel. When i got home for supper, (after 9:30,) there was a twice reheated piece of kugel leftovers being served. Mamash Hashgacha pratis!!!
Many girls have smartphones and constantly see the super awesome glorious lifestyle of everyone else. This causes a normal reaction of wanting the same for themselves and whereas in the past even though it was normal for a girl to want to live pampered, now a larger number of otherwise good people have gotten sucked into materialistic dreams. As a result, these girls’ friends, that aren’t really constantly shown off to, end up being around a much higher standard and the norm changes.
So they want a rich guy.
Just a theory
Its not as good as the in towners say, but not as bad as the out of towners make it
Gut Voch. Welcome to the frum in town community! Wish u much hatzlacha. Mshane makom may u have tons of good mazel here
I don’t know about the history with a centutry ago or more. I think the nisyonos of wealth may be very related to society, social influence and sociology. Therefore, when ya make a comparison from spain to our generation it doesnt really have as much weight .
amosak- calm down, his point is that even though they started off keeping to a certain standard, when money came this standard fell.
Many people become less frum as they get older without the added wealth. But i think i do hear the pattern, dont think josephs crazy on this one.
