reform rabbiParticipant
What if a bachur from a no tie family wants to put on a tie?
reform rabbiParticipantThe Rambam’s view is that the sanctity is forever, so there is still a chiyuv kares for defiling the mikdash.
The Rambam ascended the temple mount when he visited! Because it’s allowed to ascend the mount. Just asur to enter the mikdash.
reform rabbiParticipantTora ืค”ื in Likutei Moharan II contains the secret to finding your bashert as explained by Abraham to Eliezer. Check it out!
reform rabbiParticipantActually, the fruits in Israel are ridiculously big!
April 30, 2021 9:38 am at 9:38 am in reply to: Why do yeshivos give off or end early on Lag Baomer #1969735reform rabbiParticipantIt’s so the staff and students can celebrate Rabbi Shimon’s wedding/hilula. It’s a custom among the tzadikim.
reform rabbiParticipantAnti-vaxxers have been saying this all along. Now people are starting to understand..
reform rabbiParticipantGambling is mutar according to the RaMA. The Beis Yosef holds it’s assur.
December 20, 2020 1:16 pm at 1:16 pm in reply to: The shidduch process; chassidish & litvish , its working & yet #1930188reform rabbiParticipantA single girl can go to Uman for Rosh Hashanah and take her pick. There are plenty of marriage age men who are interested in meeting a sincere girl. There are litvish, chasdish, and modern orthodox men to choose from there. Intelligent and good looking bachelors! With good midos! Very spiritual, too!
reform rabbiParticipantThe CDC said that only medical professionals need masks. Ordinary people do not benefit from a mask.
reform rabbiParticipantWhy leave your family at home? Uman is the best place for a family trip. Wholesome time spent in the center of a religious movement.
reform rabbiParticipantVaccines aren’t dangerous at all. You could pump babies with them with no side effects. Any “reaction” is just coincidence! Science!
reform rabbiParticipantWhite people don’t like police violence, either. Who likes violent police? Do you like being accosted or intimidated by military acting police?
Probably your neighborhood is mostly white, which is why the protesters are white.
May 26, 2020 1:08 pm at 1:08 pm in reply to: $1200 for the Public but Trillions of Dollars for Corporations #1864868reform rabbiParticipantCapitalism means that those with capital control the economy.
Since they control everything and they are the masters, it is only appropriate to give them money to stimulate the economy. So that they can pay the workers to work.
The working class in capitalism is like the slave class of old. They control nothing. So giving them money doesnt pay for for work, but for consumption.
Capitalism says: we need the workers to keep working! We must find ways to keep the system going, or the workers may rebel!reform rabbiParticipantVaccines cause lower fertility
reform rabbiParticipantAll the sheep will get vaccinated and there will be herd immunity.
reform rabbiParticipantThere is no mitzvah to revive a person who’s heart stopped because if the heart is stopped then the patient is dead according to Jewish law.
In general, medicine is allowed, but not obligated, in Jewish law.
reform rabbiParticipantIf you don’t vaccinate for the flu, it’s your fault when people due! Because there are cancer parents who can’t vaccinate. It’s your comfort vs. their life.
reform rabbiParticipantA bachur should keep his facial hair however he wants. If he wants to keep it in conformity with jewish tradition – then grow it. If he wants to look 20th century – then shave it.
If the yeshiva tries to dictate matters of personal taste such as facial hair, then you shouldn’t go to that yeshiva!
November 19, 2019 11:39 am at 11:39 am in reply to: Jewish music with english words=Goyish. #1802050reform rabbiParticipantIf the singers and musicians are Jewish, then it’s Jewish music.
If not, then it’s not Jewish. It doesn’t matter what the origin of the tune is or what language the lyrics are. Jewish musicians = Jewish music. Goyish musicians = goyish music.reform rabbiParticipantDance daily and you will be happy every day. Don’t worry, when you dance you will see that you have reason to be happy. Whether you’re married or not.
reform rabbiParticipantThe girls of Jerusalem dressed in borrowed white clothing and danced in the vineyards. The bachelors would go there and choose a mate. Shaul Hamelech was too shy to approach a girl so he had to wait until a girl approached him.
reform rabbiParticipant“Likutei Moharan is not a sefer halachah. Whether or not thereโs a contradiction is irrelevant; itโs not comparing apples to apples.”
The question is: In Likutei Moharan it says ืืฆืืื ืืืืื ืืืืืช ืืฉืืื ืชืืื, happy always; while in the mishnah it says ืืฉื ืื ืก ืื ืืืขืืื ืืฉืืื, in Av we lessen ืฉืืื. How can R Nachman’s statement stand notwithstanding the mishnah?! Doesn’t R Nachman’s statement require always ืฉืืื while the mishnah requires sometimes no ืฉืืื?
The answer is that ืืืืืช ืืฉืืื and ืืืขืืื ืืฉืืื are not going on the same thing. ืืืืืช is a state of mind and ืืืขืืื is acts of ืฉืืื.
reform rabbiParticipantืืืขืืื ืืฉืืื means that we don’t make parties. We still must always be happy because it is a big mitzvah to be happy always. (ืืืงืืื ืืืืจ”ื).
The halachah is about social events of simchah, while R Nachman is talking about personal ืฉืืื. No contradiction.
reform rabbiParticipantI think that Yiddish is an important Jewish language and the event is a Jewish event.
reform rabbiParticipantYou’re supposed to spend according to what you can afford without borrowing money that you can’t afford to pay back and without begging. If that means a million dollar wedding, or a wedding with only vodka and getting, either way is good. You can only enjoy it if you’re honest about your means. Trying to impress (nobody) is stupid.
reform rabbiParticipantI’d make a chasunah in my living room.
reform rabbiParticipantGalus Yavan was in Israel with the Bais Hamikdash built. So you see it is possible to be in Israel and Galus simultaneously.
reform rabbiParticipantJoe – they all do.
reform rabbiParticipantFor me it’s hard to say because I was subjected to years of indoctrination in this matter. They told us that America is the best – and they called it social studies. I recently spoke with a tourist from China who told me that China is the greatest government in the world…
reform rabbiParticipantThe mom is wrong but her action is mutar. There is no restriction to expressing your opinion. The mom just expressed her opinion that she doesn’t want her daughter dating a young man. The question is whether the girl is obligated or should follow her mother’s expressed desire in this case. I think that according to the law she need not listen to her mom about who to date. Practically speaking the girl probably lives at home and does not make her own decisions. . .
reform rabbiParticipantOne word – R’ Nachman
Many people consider R’ Nachman their guide in life. They gather together, as R’ Nachman asked, at R’ Nachman’s place for Rosh Hashanah. The gathering, where you meet like minded fellows, gives you insight and understanding of life andavodas Hashem that you can’t get otherwise.
