Really mods? My post was so long? Surely it wasn’t as long as the latest post by random. There wasn’t much to moderate I didn’t say anything remotely negative. Was asking why as Jews we would have to rely on non Jewish healing since they have the knowledge for it? Asking why in Judaism we don’t have as much of that knowledge? Is this post also too long because my other post was pretty much the same. Surely not nearly as long as other posts in this topic by others. It’s annoying because you guys don’t care that people invest time and effort to write and with one click you make it disappear for no good reason. Then just have to rewrite the post. At least modify if you think something so bad was written which surely wasn’t the case here.

Yes we do care, we don’t make things disappear for no good reason, your post was about 1200 characters longer than the long one.

“Israel has more antisemitism than the US. If you think you need to leave, moving to Israel on that basis is less safe. I’d suggest Australia or Canada is where to move.”

-Joseph give me a break, thats such a foolish statement. First of all, Canada? Which is more anti semitic than other areas?
Yes Israel makes life for the frum difficult no doubt, but in event of antisemitism Israel would be the safest place. You really think the Israeli government would set up concentration camps? The fact is that antisemitism is being unleashed in the world and we have to know if this is our warning. It always starts small, from thugs and low lives. The problem gets worse when it catches on like wildfire and spreads away from just the thug population.

Random- so I wrote an interesting reply but wasn’t posted for whatever funny reason the mods have. Sorry don’t feel like retyping it all. Would have liked to see answers but you know, mods what can you do. There was nothing wrong with my reply so kind of disappointed that its lost thanks to mods.

Very long posts are hard to moderate and are more likely to not be approved. See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/moderation-memos-posting-tips-and-important-links#post-612444

So just to be clear, red string, blue eye, chamsa and magen david do not have clear Jewish origings and are possibly adopted from other religions?

I even heard an opinion that dressing up costumes on Purim was also a custom taken from the non Jewish holiday. Any truth to that?

Reb eliezer many Tzaddikim have said that the version of the book that we know of is not the original that was handed down. Look it up

Jewish unity-just curious why have you been tracking this book for years?

Ctlawyer- yes but check this book specifically all sellers are selling for this price and even on other sites you won’t find it for less than $300 and take condition into account too. You can search Google it’s either all out of stock or high price.

Catch yourself”There is no credible source for the red string in Judaism. Rav Yaakov Hillel in his Sefer Tamim Tihyeh writes as much, and that the practice is forbidden as superstition. It is unfortunate that this practice has become so common, when it is antithetical to our way of life.”

– oh wow. So there is no Jewish origin to it at all? Why wouldn’t Rabbanim decry this custom then since in Israel it is common to see these being sold at holy sites. Are you saying we adopted this from other religions? Does this also go for the evil eye amullete? What about the chamsa which moslims follow as well?

The red string people have on wrist, the eye is like an amulette against evil eye. Apparently most other religions have that as well. So wondering of the origins

How did the Magen David become a symbol of Judaism if we are not even sure about the original ties to it? Anyone answering about sefer Raziel Hamalach? Red string, blue eye, etc are any of these adopted traditions or did it originate in Yiddishkeit? What about the far East world’s knowledge of healing or spirituality did these originate from the matanos that Avraham Avinu gave to Hagar?

Loweryourtuition, I didn’t ask about custom. Symbol/icon such as Menorah, Magen David, which btw we aren’t sure of the origins of the star symbol as it is. And the icon anyone here chooses please explain why you think it represents Judaism most.

Sefer Raziel Hamalach, the one you own is not likely the real one. Many Tzaddikim wrote about the authenticity of it. And if the one we know of isn’t the original or authentic one why is it still being printed/available?

” Spotify and Apple Music are both 15 dollars a month, so look at it like accessing all the music for the cost of 12 albums a year (although you don’t always get access to the newest albums right away).
You can create your own playlists (Spotify also allows you to access others’ playlists that aren’t private), which you can then navigate just as easily as a CD using your car’s controls.”

Again aside for the expense, now you have to be dependent on having a newer high tech car and also an internet connection.

Yes a mixtape so to speak for the car. I’m aware of advanced technology but i still like using a CD for driving which I can control from the car buttons easily and not have to be distracted looking at the phone to change a song. Also CDs are disposable and I dont care if I forget it somewhere. Buying a song for $1 is still not so practical and not all albums offer that option.

I don’t understand why they don’t just put the album on YouTube they will be making more money having their songs up there rather than selling overpriced CDs. All the non Jewish music is on YouTube ready to be downloaded so if it works for them why not for the Jewish songs? Yidden would be able to listen to Jewish music much more.
