@ivory You’re free to be ignorant of halacha, but you’re not free to invent it:

ואי זו היא מלחמת מצוה זו מלחמת שבעה עממים ומלחמת עמלק ועזרת ישראל מיד צר שבא עליהם ואחר כך נלחם במלחמת הרשות והיא המלחמה שנלחם עם שאר העמים כדי להרחיב גבול ישראל ולהרבות בגדולתו ושמעו מלחמת מצוה אינו צריך ליטול בה רשות בית דין אלא יוצא מעצמו בכל עת וכופה העם לצאת אבל מלחמת הרשות אינו מוציא העם בה אלא על פי בית דין של שבעים ואחד.

עזרת ישראל מיד צר שבא עליהם is obviously exactly what’s going on today with Hamas and Hezbollah. You don’t need prophecy or אורים ותומים. And everyone is required to fight, “ben yeshiva” or otherwise.

@somejewiknow You seem to misunderstand that Judaism has no more of an opinion on the “Zionist military enterprise” than it does on the effectiveness of the Yankees bullpen, the way to prepare yapchik, or the last scene in the Sopranos.

You also seem not to grasp that “divergents like Kook” knew more Bavli, Yerushalmi, Tosefta, Sifra, Sifrei, Mechilta, Midrishei Tanoim, Rishoinim, Rambam, Tur, Shulchan Aruch, Reb Akiva Eiger, Ktzois, Nesivos, Zohar, and Tikkunim, than you or anyone you know will learn in a lifetime. There’s a reason why Reb Elyashiv asked him to be misader kidushin at his own wedding, and there’s a reason why the Chazon Ish stood throughout his entire lengthy speech at the groundbreaking ceremony for Novardok in Bnei Brak. You’re an am ha’aretz כמו שכתוב, partly because of your upbringing, and partly because of your bad choices. Get a life, pick up a gemara, (you should start with soncino or artscroll), and start learning.

@gadolhadorah The “chareidim” about whom you worry so much, have no more of an obligation to fight in a מלחמת מצוה than you do. If you aren’t currently fighting for the IDF, why don’t you feel hypocritical asking them to? At least they learn Torah. Do you?

According to the Torah, regular ol’ chicken eggs don’t need a hashgacha.

According to *daas* torah, eggs do need a hashgacha.

So it depends which religion you buy into. I personally lean towards the former. But then again, that’s just personal preference.

Great question! I once said torah on this as follows:

Count the syllables, including all the shva nas, in the following:

מדוע בשש רכבו לבוא מדוע אחרו פעמי מרכבותיו

= 22

Now it says in the next posuk, אף היא תשיב אמריה לה
Which Rashi explains to mean that she said to herself:

מה אני מתמהת על עיכוב בני

Count the syllables:

= 11

Altogether 22 + 11 = 33

Each one was a יללה made up of 3 קולות. So 99. Add a כולל and you have 100

@menachem-shmei The links don’t mention one word about לא תסור. A) They are discussing how to pasken for the public (כללי הוראה), not how to act personally. B) The רשב״א says להדיא that one may be חולק on a greater חכם if he has a ראיה. That’s מפורש. And the פוסקים extend this even further. See שאילת דוד.

@always_ask_questions Again, as long as you’re not ruling for others, you always have a right to follow your own opinion if you are confident you are right. The only exception is if you or you קהילה have universally accepted all of this Rabbi’s פסקים or if you actually went to the Rabbi and asked him for a פסק, which constitutes a commitment to follow his פסק. Confronting is only applicable when there is a ב״ד הגדול whom there is an obligation to follow blindly.

Great question. There are two, potentially three mitzvos that govern love and hate towards other Jews:

1) ואהבת לרעך כמוך. Now, notice how the wording is לרעך and not את רעך (as opposed to ואהבת את ה׳, ואהבתם את הגר, ויאהב יצחק את עשו, ורבקה אוהבת את יעקב, אהבתי אתכם אמר ה׳, etc.). This implies that one isn’t obligated to love a fellow Jew inwardly, as a man loves his best friend or his wife or his children or his siblings, etc. Rather, one is obligated to love him outwardly, i.e. speak positively about him, protect his property, strive to ensure sure he is afforded respect, visit him when he is ill, comfort him when he is grieving, escort him, take care of his burial needs, and eulogize him when he dies, carry his burden, lead him when he can’t lead himself, gladden him and provide for him when he marries, etc. In a word, to do unto him as you would others to do for you. There are exceptions to this, which I will explain shortly.

2) לא תשנא את אחיך בלבבך. One may not hate a fellow Jew, even if it is only on the inside. There are exceptions to this, too as I will discuss shortly.

3) ואהבתם את הגר. One must inwardly love a גר. I don’t know if this has the same exceptions, but I’m יראה לי that it does.

The only exception is a Jew who DELIBERATELY defies the Torah, even AFTER PROPER REPROOF, and even though he KNOWS HE IS SINNING, and makes NO EFFORT TO IMPROVE.

Note: Reproof doesn’t mean yelling at him that he’s a shaygetz and a menuval. It means explaining to him in a caring, loving way, in private, that he is not on the right path, etc. בחבלי אדם אמשכם וכו׳.

Hence:

Neturei Karta – Yes, their views are insane, but they are still your fellow Jews, there is no evidence that they sin with defiance, and even if they do commit actual sins out of their perverted beliefs, for which I have no evidence, they are תינוקות שנשבו who have been mislead by others. You needn’t love any of them and be their best friend. But you cannot hate them, and you must treat them as you would want to be treated.

Lev Tahor – Same as NK. Their leaders, though, I’m not so sure. Depends on whether they fit the above exceptions.

מחללי שבת בפרהסיא – Definitely not a secular Jew from birth. But if he grew up religious, and you know that he does so defiantly after proper reproof, and he doesn’t wish to change, you can and must hate him and not display any concern for him.

PRIDE Chevra – Not sure what you mean. Is he actually flagrantly married to a man, etc. and has he been given proper reproof? Then I guess. But merely being proud of his orientation though doesn’t make him a רשע. Same as NK.

Hassidic car-blocker: We’ve all experienced this, but a one-time annoyance doesn’t exclude him from רעך and אחיך. Not everyone has the greatest מדות. If it upsets you though, you must tell him that he wronged you and that he should apologize and not do it again.

Excellent, excellent, excellent questions.

Wonderful, thought-provoking question. מי יתן that the choshuve avreichim of this forum would forever cease to argue about meshugas like “Biden vs. Trump” or “Zionists vs. Satmar” or “Yeshivish vs. YU” or “Lace-top sheitels” and all the other דברים העומדים ברומו של עולם (which, to an עם הארץ such as a chiropractor, or an inspirational speaker, or a standard American 2nd-year maggid shiur, or a chassidishe Rebbe, are not only important, but crucial עיקרים of the Jewish faith), and people would begin to engage in דברי אלקים חיים. Learning torah is fun!

The short answer to your question is obviously לכשיחיו נחכם להן לכשיבוא משה רבינו עמהם. But that’s booooring lol. So let’s get started!

The primary assumptions underlying your questions are A) The assumption that there will be a מושג of אשת איש during the time of תחיית המתים. (R’ Saadya Gaon says that people will get married after תחיית המתים) B) The assumption that if A is true, it follows that a woman will still be considered to be married to her previous husband and won’t require another קידושין. Whether or not these are true depends on the following. (Absolutely not an exhaustive list):

1) Will מצוות be בטילות לעתיד לבא?
(נדה דף סא)

2) If yes, does this mean that מצוות will be בטילות בזמן תחיית המתים or does it mean simply that a מת is פטור from מצוות while he is dead? ( מחלוקת between תוס׳ אויפן ארט (unless you really want to kvetch a different meaning into it like the Maharatz Chayes says there הרבה יש לפלפל) and the רשב״א in ברכות by אין בין ימות המשיח וכו׳)

3) If, in #2, we assume like the former tzad, does this mean that even the ז׳ מצוות בני נח will be בטל? (Haven’t seen this discussed, but it seems like an obvious kler. Because even קודם מתן תורה there was a מושג of אישות.)

3) If, in #2, we assume like the former tzad, does this mean simply that the commandments will be בטלות or that even the institutions, i.e. אישות, שליחות, בעלות, קניינים, נדרים, הקדשות, etc. will be בטל? (I have tremendous toirah on this inyan but haven’t seen it discussed. It’s תלוי on many, many, many different inyonim all over the תושבע״פ ואכ״מ והמשכיל יבין והחדל יחדל)

3) If there will be a מושג of א״א during זמן תחיית המתים, will a woman who is revived be still married to her husband from prior or will she require a new קידושין? (This a tremendous inyan and is one of the deepest inyonim in סדר נשים and יבמות. There’s a ירושלמי that the גדולי אחרונים are very busy with. Check out Reb Meir Simcha in הלכות גירושין over there by מת בתוך י״ב חדש.)

4) If you want, you could also קריך אריין in the חקירה that the roshei yeshiva are into about how מיתת הבעל is מתיר. Could be it’s נוגע to #3. Reb shimon talks abt it in שערי יושר ע״ש.

אשרי מחכה ויגיע

@@fakenews

I hope you׳re just trolling, because not one thing you said has any basis in the talmud or halacha. Number one, his question has to do with whether an ע״א is considered a שוגג, and he picked a perfectly valid example of עדות אשה, where an ע״א is נאמן, so your אין דשב״ע פחות מב׳ response is unintelligible.

Number two, allowing an עד אחד to be מתיר her להינשא is not a ״rare circumstance”, and you just added on a ridiculous, false condition of ״bari li” which any בר בי רב לחד יומא understands is made up, and can only have been created by someone who hasn’t the foggiest, working knowledge of יבמות, כתובות, גיטין, קידושין, שבועות, etc., etc.

Number three, Your prophetic vision about a “minor issur not ״חייב כרת could only have been dreamt up by someone who didn’t even see רש״י or תוספות on the first folio of gittin. Even a היינטיגע ראש ישיבה couldn’t be so ignorant.

Number four, your ״financial incentive” hogwash comes from a violent perversion of a גמרא in עבודה זרה and a רמב”ם and your ignorance is bliss.

Your response is not the ״light version” or the answer but rather the imbecile version of the answer.

As far as your allegation that the original poster is not crom BMG, I can only glean from your blathering response that you are from BMG, because only someone who has been through a whole machzor of ignorance could have composed this.

ואתה שלום.

במחילת כבודכם,

There may very well be families of hostages, our brothers and sisters, who will read or hear about this thread and be unimaginably pained. I suggest the moderators take it down for their sake. May it be a z’chus for their safe return.
