I am talking about that audio junk they play in kosher supermarkets in frum neighborhoods.
As opposed to the junk they play in the non jewish supermarkets.
Just because a non jew made a song doesnt mean it’s good. Which makes me wanna ask:
Just because millions of people like a song doesn’t mean it’s good. Right?
Pogs are back??????!!!!!!
Sounds off. does he talk? youre right to be concerned but have no clue what you can do. Assuming he spoke to his rebbi/rosh yeshiva about it but if he didnt then that’s probably the best place to turn.
PHIL- I personally would never attend this kind of event, in part for that very reason. But that’s my personal view and I defend the choice of any Jew who wishes to attend such an event without being rebuked for it.
Great! We’re making headway here. I think I agree that people shouldn’t be rebuked about this, sure thang.
Btw being the great nephew of a big person is by no means a haskamah.
PHIL-
Then keep working on yourself
shkoyach
But are you really suggesting that Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, a huge talmid chacham and yorei shamayim, spat upon the truth?
That was about people (like you? i dont know, you never really explained what you hold, mostly whined about not giving mussar and tried to be newbee”s nutritionist) trying to make believe the mitzva of kedoshim tihyu doesn’t exist. Not him.
He has an absolute right to decide what is proper for his following
if his following is indeed on a lower level then enough said. if not, well i have my gadol and he says different so theres no use in having this argument. I’m just surprised that this is his position, don’t know much about him though so it doesnt hold so much weight to me.
The real question, and appropriate discussion is, was this dinner a glorification of indulgence.
Kinda. Some believe there’s nothing wrong with glorifying something which isn’t assur in the SH”A (which i’m still not so convinced of).
The next question is, if you believe it is, is this the proper forum to give tochacha (or a mussar shmooze) to those who attended.
Not sure about that but it surely is the right place to complain about “a dinner somewhere”.
As I’ve said before, even if refraining from indulging in everything you see is not considered a chiyuv, by having such a dinner an organization and its rabbi are essentially saying this is OK. Which is essentially not OK.
I don’t scream at people for not being on a high level of yiras shamayim. I am definitely someone who is severely lacking in the midah of not being a behaimah. But I am also someone who admits and knows there is a problem and I strive for reaching the true level of being a mentsh. And i believe when truth is being spit on i should stand up for it. Sorry but that should not be considered feeling holier than thou.
thank you lesschumras for proving my point to zdad
Way too long ago for me to remember. I was the guy on a date.
Zdad-well i say there is
lethal injection
If something is assur then i understand complaining about it. If it is muttar but not in the spirit of judaism or where someones middos should, i don’t feel it right to complain about. However, a yeshiva with this kind of party is basically saying “this is 100% fine”. Now THAT, my E-friends, is something i would complain about.
How would you have recognized me?
The Wolf
That was the joke. The reason i couldn’t say hello wasn’t really because i was on a date but because i couldn’t recognize you. I still can’t believe we were both there though. I may have seen The Wolf!
WOLF- sorry was on a date otherwise wudve said hello. Wasnt so many dates when i was there, mostly married chasidim
Mazel tov! simcha gedolah!
ya, lots of my jokes have a time release. ive been busy il try to check it out when i can. thanks again.
Flatbusher- dont know your case but are you sure the mother wasnt only looking for that because her son said he wanted dat?
Also, coming from flatbush and involved in shidduchim and im telling u im shocked and grossed out by what your saying. Think you just got an unlucky bad apple or batch. Cud be were dealing with more/less learning type but im under the impression that most sane mothers arent doing this.
i love how you tzadikim invoke your unbelievable emunah in mashiachs arrival to start up with someone
was just talking to a friend about that. Its a different food. If you like and want Fast Food burgers you prob wont want bouef and bun. Btw theres a gotham burger in the city.
My best burger? Heimish burger in essen. Their famous gravy on top of kishka on top of a phat burger.
if hes male and u have money go to reserve cut
and wait a half hour for a burger?!
think it depends on how u learn the gemara on 2b.
Similarly we say ain onshin min hadin- we dont learn out a punishment in bais din from a kal vchomer. According to the Maharsha this is because a worse crime may deserve a worse punishment. Being that the punishment’s purpose is for a kaporah, a worse crime may not be covered by (/deserving of) this kaporah and bais din wont be allowed to “help” him with the punishment of a lighter offense.
CIJ- wasnt aimed at u sry
than-x
pretty sure i heard R dovid orlofsky say he was cured with pigeons once
lemme get this straight. All sn with “joseph” in the subtitle are you? i thought a mod with a bad sense of humor just randomly put them on people. Oh, and i thought the same mod gave a new guy the name “joseph” even though it wasnt the real joseph.
HELP!! another zionism/anti-zionism highjacking!!

anyone hear of r dessler that says lying for shalom which is muttar is saying the truth?
thank you. lemme give it a test run.
he’s trying to get an idea of whats normal. I dont know if you can compare one comunity with another. if her parents arent frum, odds are theyl deal with it differently than it would be dealt with by frum parents. unless you are trying to find out how frum parents would deal with it?
one after urs
SL- if ur bored you wanna check the “not coping” thread i bumped? curious what u have to say, look for my post directed at u. gona be busy myself tho so cant really respond
not a pun guy but cmon froggie, HOPPY?
i actually keep my opinions to myself in real life, guess the anonymity helps me.
sounds pretty unprofessional to me. refua shlaima and good luck with the surgeons.
miriam377- what a crazy story! idk if id want a procedure done by a doctor that says he doesnt do it though
SL- look i no fan of these books but just because this friend of yours warped it to her likng doesnt necessarily mean the book itself is bad. Also , lots of times someone reading a book like this has a pre existing condition and the book isnt the cause of theyre craziness, its their craziness riding the book.
There are bunch of stories about r akiva eiger dont rememeber them or have time right now. something about going to a town and not wanting kavod? anyone know this one?
idk sounds a bit fluffy to me.
do you consider yourself to be someone that lives with music? has music playing yomam vlayala?
isnt it funny when you see what you wrote eight months ago and realize noone knows what youre talking about?
been there too, not fun. i have a feeling that sometimes after not returning a call (or wtvr) for a while, it may get a bit awkward when they finally get an interest to call you back so they push it off and that can snowball worse and worse.
My stance on friendship is, technology plays no role in “why didnt you ever call me or send a text or email etc” (this is all only if the other person hasnt reached out first). I have many close friends that after not speaking to them for months (yrs?) and then meeting them by a wedding we can shmooze for hours. Theres no bad blood btw us cause we dont expect a phone call or text all the time.
Sometimes social networking can raise expectations of socialising (socialism?) and can damage social connections.
SYAG- very interesting. so in my own words youre saying that an understanding of a trouble can help a person struggle through it? and it sounds like you have living proof of this?
And im suffering here as well. I think it’s obvious that some have more of an appreciation and love for music than others. Same way i like scotch (scotchy scotch scotch) and dont like wine so much, while others cant even understand why anyone would wanna “just burn their throat” type.
according to the CR minhag the letter Jud is transliterated with the letter J. Just ask rabbiofberlin or 147.

shabbos hi milizoik! what golfer said.
HAHA LF we do have a new member!!
This is not advice as much as a question–why does someone go off the derech, except for some dissatisfaction with Yiddishkeit
It depends. For the most part, teenagers and young adults arent going off because theyre so intellectual and after thinking about it for years just cant resolve yedia and bechira. In most cases they are have personal troubles couples with a lack of drive for yiddishkiet
It’s very nice that you dont want to talk negatively about BT’s but i dont think it’s a fair discussion when anyone who has the opinion that BT’s may have a higher risk in certain life areas is called a sicko.
Personally, i look up to BT’s and admire the tenacity they must have to go thru such a life altering change. I believe anybody who happens to meet a baal tshuva, even for a few short seconds, will walk away in awe and inspired in their own personal yidishkeit.
As some pointed out- where many of us only serve hashem thru rote, most BT’s have their entire heart body and soul in the avoda they do. This however can also lead to bumps in the road. When the spark, or explosion rather, of his connection to yidishkeit isnt there, or fizzles at times, it may be much harder to continue with his commitment than it would be for an FFB.
Oh, and i dont think anyone asked if they think theyl have troubles down the road would dream the answer would be yes.
well you have no right to assume its non existence
