i dont think anyone validates coffee room responses anymore

but i agree that we cant rely on trump deliver everything the jews want nor should he. He’s still certainly better than the alternative.

In a community where there is huge poverty, causing a plethora of other terrible issues, overcoming poverty is a hue accomplishment. if everyone in a place had huge stomach problems overcoming that would be notible.

@justask why cant jews learn how to follow the law

I think Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer’s more nuanced approach is best. He wouldn’t make the assertions Simcha613 made but thinks it is very important for chareiedim to participate more in the IDF and society in general. not that that doesnt come with challenges or that it should be done wholesale and drastically.

Moses died and his life mission was that of a good teacher to make himself superfluous.
sry i dont have anything specific to say about chasidus

the wall was a good until Hamas took control of it. instead of keeping terrorists out it only allows terrorists in and out. did you know that Hamas leaders have been in and out of gaza several times in the past months.

there is so much “Big”s out there getting in the way of good government if this is the only one he has soft spot for he’s still the best candidate

My current understanding is that the Jews historically never fully conquered ארץ פלשתים. And therefore never sanctified it as halachic Israel status. It seems that it can be part of ארץ ישראל from the parsha/radan. 1967 may have been considered sanctification according to some.

There aren’t really any cooperations that fund Gaza. They’re funded from your tax or the union that you no choice but to be a part of.
Iran doesn’t export anything besides oil and terror. I guess you could using gasoline less.
There’s no way the average consumer could have a affect

I think the main thing preventing many religious people in Israel from adopting a more Kehana approach is the belief that all things Moshiach and most things E”Y are completely miraculous and therefore dont require our planning.
this prevents the haredi parties from long term strategic planning

im not one to take side in this ancient mechlokos

Maybe if you supported a string Israeli government they would build more and iyh kick out our enemies (Ramat eshkol is partially in E jerusalem)

Also @Bachur hachashuv I knew very great amazing people in Ramat eshkol (tbh I don’t really know anyone there at the moment

4) it seems that mincha ketzara has been done a lot longer than chabad’s existence. i was told its mashma from the orech hashulchan that they even did heicha kdusha for shacharis too.
btw i was at a sfard minyan where they did heich kdusha too

major troll. but for people who really dont understand. i suspect that most of the people you are referring to find the term a poor description or condescending. yes obviously one of the pitfalls of living in a frum non-chasidic community is that religious practices get stretched thin or ‘poorly reinterpreted’.
there are plenty of pitfalls of chassidic communities too.
if you wonder why i havent mentioned the litvish chereidim it is because they are largely similar to chasidim in this regard.

i happen to have access to dovid lichtenstiens email and im also friends with the main editor, but i dont think i should post it here

this is a real concern and hopefully progress is being made

i always liked the idea of letting only Leviim get public funding for learning. and maybe allow individual levi to swap places with a yisroel if they want.

wouldn’t this system keep everyone happy?

the gemara menachos basically says you need techeiles (unless the garment is ripped)
Menachot 39b implies that a silk garment doesn’t need techeiles because its only derabanan
the ramban said ‘R’ Zerachiah HaLevi did not wear any tzitzit his whole life’
Meor is on the rif 11b shabbos (rif daf)

i think i’ve seen his picture used as rat deterrence. not that I support that practice whatsoever. my point is people make strange things out of pictures of holy people and its very hard for me to tell much about a person even when seeing him live.

There’s a new siddur that came out recently by rabbi Feigenbaum. It’s an amazing siddur made for teenagers that has translation, notes, and appendices. what is unique about is that it fills a void that is felt strongly by today’s youth. It addresses topics that most don’t such as why guys thank hashem for not creating them women and were men not created in His will.
from as much as I’ve seen it so far it is an incredible work
