    DaMoshe – Circle, then why did the Shach institute a taanis on the 20th of Sivan to commemorate Tach v’Tat?
    I was just wondering about this on Tisha B’av. Also the Friday of Chukas is also a tannis for the burning of the gemara in France (which we read about in kinnus on Tisha B’av).

    chabadshlucha:”@everyone I challenge those quiet spectators to speak up and tell me whether this has helped you understand the Lubavitch views on the Rebbe better, in a positive way, so that we can allay sechel hayashars concerns for good. If yes, maybe I will address an additional topic that has been in the background. If not, maybe he is right and I shall comment no further.”

    I can personally say that I now have a deeper understanding of Meshichist theology, and that I view that as a positive thing.

    Now, replying to ideas mentioned earlier in the tread, specifically to the idea that yemos hamoshiach is the “ideal” time for us to be in, i pretty sure that the Ramchal would say that this time would be techias hamesim and not yemos hamoshiach (based on the first part of Derech Hashem), although feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

    Also about the debate what consists of emuna, whether it is emotional or logical, this seems to be an old debate between Chassidim and Misnagdim. R’ Nachmun has multiple pieces where he clearly says that one should not philosophize about the existence of Hashem, but rather simply believe that its true (obviously a major over-simplification of this idea). And I believe that Litvoks in general take the logical approach (The whole Derech Hashem being a philosophical work). Chabad seems to take a middle of the road derech and say that in includes both.

    When a town deliberately changes zoning laws and building codes so that Jews will not be able to move in, that is anti-Semitism. When a couple of creative kids come up with a good costume and complement it with very funny props, that’s not anti-Semitism, it’s a good sense of humor>

    LU: “( hard to say if it’s bigger than a turtle, but sort of – not counted as a question, cuz it doesn’t have a real answer.)”

    usually the questions that dont have clear answers are the most helpful.

    so i say that it should be counted as a question.

    LU – one of us was misunderstanding the other.

    it may not usually found outside, in that it is not a common thing to find outside

    or it may be that when it is found, it is not usually outside

    sparkly- “showjoe – if you really think that mo rabbis say its not okay to hang out with the other genders then you most likely dont know what mo is.”

    i don’t believe that they hold its OK, i just think that they wisely choose not to press the matter if they have congregants that cant handle this particular inyan.

    however i didnt think that any rabbim say that its mutter l’chatchila to hang out with the other gender.

    if you have sources that prove otherwise, just let me know.

    ” these mo people i keep talking about literally basically only keep shabbos and kosher and some other stuff. “

    thank you for clarifying! we could have gone a whole conversation talking about two different types of modern orthodox people!
