Talmud, how old are you? A mature adult who has any spirituality would not be wheere you are. YOu need tikun gadol!! Try a dsicovery program! Be mekarev yourself to Yiddishkeit
But is this not also form Hashem? When people do irrational things, isn’t that the biggest sign it is from Hashem? For some reason Hashem felt you needed this test now. Accept with Emunah BItachon, daven for each of you to find the right shidduch and hopefully in the zechus of passing the nisayon you will be zoche to the right shidduch soon!!!
Upset?? That’s not a success in nisayon…….
There are hand Matzos available at less than 15 dollars a pound…… it may be from Israel…. or after Succos….. but it is there!
It would be hard to find one Baalhabasta ( Jewish Torahdik housewife) to allow it……….. even if you find seforim permitting.
MDD wrote RABBAIM, one does not make machos about a midas chassidus. Anyhow, I have to double-check “Orchos Tzadikim” to see if he really says what you claim he says.
1- What is machos?
2- Did you find your Orchos Tzadikim in the first perek yet? I did not make it up.
Verapoi- I asked over 10 people and not one associated herring with a specific non Jewish nation. But each one named Pizza as Italian.
Get the difference? try it yourself!
Thee is an inyan brought in seforim that some Yidden are on the level to be concerned with. It is called Maachal Akum, a food that is currently clearly idnetified with a specific non Jewish nationality. The Orchas Tzadikim in the first Perek speaks of separating ourselves from non Jews in our foods as well. It means from food CURRENTLY primarily identified with non Jews. So there are Chashuve Yidden who mean it for real and who would not eat Pizza or spaghetti because it is associated with Italians, or Chinese food ( China….. duh) or Sushi ( Japanese) but would eat lukshin, herring etc…. because they are not currently associated with non Jews. But if the origin of something was non Jewish but it has lost that identity, it would not fall into that category.
It may part of a madreiga of Kedoshim Tihyu- Perushim Tihyu. we need to respect those that are ready to do that even if we are not.
Teach with simcha. Parent with simcha. Learn. Daven. Do mitzvos. all with Simcha. It is azechus to be a Yid. It is a privilege to live with Torah. Simcha!!! Then if they go OTD you can honestly say “my hands did not spill this blood”. Then love them more, and hopefully they will return.
My cousin did it…….. date just to get some experience and prepare for the real one.. she dated a doctor when she really wanted Kollel/Chinuch….. no way it would go, right?…. and she has been married to that Doctor for 20 years and has 11 heiliger children!
Daters beware!
. and are WE real…… or are we fake???
Twisted- It’s a business always running n the red……….
It is chinuch, not business!
I thought by saying that mandatory can backfire and some need other programs and that the other programs can leave him with a much more positive experience and desire. Different Talmidim need different things.
If a abcur is not ready for 3 sedorima day and he is forced to do it,
1- how productive will he be?
2- How happy will he be?
3- How will this encourage him to continue learning with determination and simcha?
If he were given a program of learning whihc includes a few electives in general studies such as Computer graphics, Photoshop expertise, Literature, or even AP courses (if the Yesiva allows) gym, chessed opportunities and then returns to serious focused learning at night, wouldn’t he be better off?
Is the means to the goal to inspire or to force?
I once worked for a Yeshiva with low fees and loads of non serious people applied just to
a- give their child the experience of going through the interview process and
b- keep their options open.
It cost me mega hours of research and interview time. Once we raised the fees we pared it down to those who were seriously considering our mossad and life became more focused and productive. We were also seen in the eyes of the public as a more serious place than when we charged mush less. We DID deduct the fee from the tuition for those accepted.
What I have difficulty understanding is why my local elementary and high school charge a yearly registration fee of 200 dollars for a child who is already enrolled! What is the justification?
For those who are ready it’s great. for those who are not.. DISASTER!!!
What’s the tzad that he shouldn’t? Isn’t that a part of the pinimiyus?
1- Who is ever ready? ha.
2- Chassidm get married younger because that is the mindset form the they they are born. If Litvaks can change the mindset, they too will be “as ready” a year or more earlier.
Let the children stick to the sections made for them
that 1- please write in English! Thanks
1- “Every complete tzaddik is a baal teshuva. If he is a genuine tzaddik he is constantly making a cheshbon hanefesh and doing teshuva.”
So, how do you learn Pshat in that Gemara?
2- Who determines at what age who can become great?
Also, aybe the development of great ones needs the atmosphere, and challenge provided by the 999 others! Finally, Kollel is limud Torah Lishma…… anyone should be allowed if he can and wants. It may even be more LISHMA for the one who plans to work later on than for the one who wants to learn and then get a job in Klall positions……
Does anyone who stands up for purity of Torah express right wing exclusivity? Maybe it is midas Emes!!!
Maybe since “in a place where Baalei Teshuva stand even Tzadikim who are complete cannot have room for their feet”, then the catalyst for kiruv is accomplishing to help create people who are greater in Hashems eyes than Tzadikim……….
new clarity in a Tosfos!
If the policy is clearly stated and communicated that “if you bring a cellphone into school it will be confiscated and not returned” then by bringing in the phone the person is effectively mafkir it. He knows the consequences in advance and does it anyway. Then it is not gzaila. If there is no such policy, then it cannot be taken form the child beyond the time when it will harm other children. If the policy is clear it is like hefker or yiush midaas!
Salt water carries electricity, no?
Tell them that they should investigate because there are rumors……..
Invite both but on he return card make a place to check off “Chuppah” Seuda” “Simchas Chosson Vkallah” and do it twice, once for each person. The spouse will be happy to sign on for less than the friend
Call Rabbi Krohn. he is an amazing person and will surely assist people to get into the field if they have the ability and Yiras Shamayim.
Promise of the future based on accomplishments rather than promises based on failed promises and distaste for Jews in Middle East
But primarily Daven to Hashem that the one best for Yidden and for USA wins and that it should be one and the same!
Ari z”l says one should wear it that way the whole davening. Hat is also called a covering
Shtreimel by Laining may be that Shtreimel is malchus and one dons malchus clothing for event reminicent of Kabbolas HaTorah as we became a “princely nation” then.
If the inner self is happy the external radiance will be attractive and the wight will not be a detraction.
Just make sure you would not mind marrying a guy who is 46 portly……….. Too many guys who are 46 Portly want a girl who is a 6 or 8 or less…………. maybe they will succeed…. most likely it is a cause for delays.
One apt in Tzefas and another in Old City of Yerushalayim!
Nu nu means it is not quite an inspiring Hashgacah pratis. It won’t make it onto my list of repeatable events of life to demonstrate the ongoing presence of Hashem.
Like Krias Yam Suf…. gotta have big time bitachon and be ready to jump in………
Mesilas Yesharoim writes that wealth does not bring happiness.
Shlomo Hamelech decried wealth in Koheles.
Gemaros alll over speak about the increased worries of those who have more.
Poverty? Mishna says it is all in our state of mind. The way we handle it.
Read Rebbetiz Kanievsky bio and see how much she avoided any excesses.
Esav was given Olam Hazeh. Yaakov is given an Ohel.
wealth is a BIG nisayon. One needs to be BIG to handle it right. Most don’t. Unfrotunately
Nu nu.
If your not listening with your heart, what is the purpose?
If you have in mind to fulfill the Mitzvah of Succah it is Baal Tosef even in mid January!
Was Yom Kippur only a few days ago?? Boy, it dissipated fast…………
The Satmar Rebbe Rav Yoel zt”l is buried right next to his wife!
Cities of Eretz Yisroel……… then and now
I ahve see tnese places receive deliveries of baked goods on Shabbos. there was no Mashgiach overseeing the process…… who are we trusting??
Sam 2. the Gemara in Bava Basra being quoted by the Sforno seems to be the source of his psaht. Which Gemara is NOT like the one in Bava Basra?
BTW…….. in US many people legally set up trusts to avoid inheritance tax issues. This is a legal loophole to pass wealth to children by transferring the ownership of the trust to them and so there are no taxes on the inheritance. Sort of Gift “maychaim” NOt quite, but a legal similarity.
Gifts take effect one second before the person dies. Matana maychaim. IN that way daughters can inherit as well……. matana, not yerusha
Police advise mosdos to keep them on for securty purposes. Vandalism is much much less likely if there are lights on
Sooooooooo
1- it deters potential vandals
2- If the rooms are visible from outside the building, one can see IN only if it is light inside
3- Some bulbs are equipped to be cheaper ot run continuously instead of turing off and then needing 15-30 minutes to warm and illuminate when turned on.
Pesukim are not sufficient. They are only the beginning.
Look at Seforno

Meaning if the motivation is like/dislike, love/hate then one cannot alter the order. But if it because the son is a Rasha, an evil doer, then it is permissible.
If you look at the Vilna Gaon on the possuk he says it is talking about 2 children from diff wives each one a bechor born at the same time……… not the case in most homes
Thirdly, the possuk speaks of exchanging bechor privileges, not about disinheiritng. It is a din in bechor, not simply rights of Yerusha. I had written previously that one can put into a trust with conditions… that is not quite taking from ne and giving to another and is certainly not challenging the din of Bechor.
Finally, it can all be gifts while one is alive and need not enter the laws of yerusha if one want to set it up that way.
Theres more, but that should address the issue for now. No?
Sam 2 I appreciate your persistence but I am missing something. I answered already the following
“Sam2- that is what I meant buy going too far. marrying a non Jewish woman or even moving in with a non Jewish woman with an agreement (even de facto) of being in a “permanent” live in relationship. It was just too hard to write it out so I said “going too far”. If one marries out then one is supposed to sit Shiva. I heard this psak from a few Gedolim who were issuing the ruling as Halacha Lmaaseh.”
Which HALACHA did you told me I am violating that I did not address?
Thnak sPopa- A competent lawyer can draft what is needed. The issue is advisability, rights to do so. Soem feel a child is entitled to inheritance even if he rejects his heritage.
The way the money of a deceased person is used can bring great benefit to hte soul of the departed one. Certailny he/she would want or can want to send it where it will more likely be used properly. Assisting one to eat treif, or be mechallel Shabbos or engage in arayos etc. by providing them with a significant inheritance is not a benefit to the former owner of the $$$$$$$
The Book of our Heritage by Rav Ki Tov
Rambam Laws of perepntance……. slowly!
Still waters run deep…… deep bacurim will find still waters attractive……. package the maalos……… shadchanim need to be “salesman” because many don’t really know what is right for them
