  • in reply to: R' Chaim Kanievski Women Wearing Tefillin #1046877

    I personally think it’s not a good idea for girls to wear tefillin. yes maybe some righteous women in the past were able to do it, like Rashi’s daughters, but this generation is not on their level of kedusha.

    Some girls feel that it enhances their prayers. While that may be, you need to weight the pro and con. There are a lot of conditions that need to be met. If we can do it perfectly, that’s good. But if we mess up, then it becomes an aveira instead of a mitzvah. Why, because it’s Not our obligation to do it. Men are obligated to do it, and so if they mess up, it’s still a mitzvah because they were told to do it.

    What people need to understand is that Hashem knows what people need. And so if men are told to wear tefillin and women are not, then it’s because we don’t spiritually need it. We should focus on the mitzvos that Hashem wants us to do. 🙂

    Whether or not he should stay friends, let him know to be careful. People can sometimes say things that poison emunah G-d forbid. He should know that if he wants to be a good friendly influence, he needs to be careful to not be sucked in. If he finds he is, he needs to stop immediately

    I think maybe find someone that can help you. When something is very difficult it helps to have guidance. Also pray for strength and clarity . Remember, we don’know the future. What happened before might or might not happen again.

    I think the idea is since it’s a job that’s given to kids, we don’t want to do what is like their job, even though it’s very important. It’s like when I was in high school(went to a small school near an elementary school) and the teacher suggested joining the younger students for an activity that i felt was too young, like making our own shofar. I refused because it was their project.

    I think it’s sad though that Gelila is viewed negatively, when it’s an important job. I understand though about not wanting to viewed as a kid

    my bro and i wanted to call the operator and order a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich.

    I saw a video of a social experiment where someone was standing backwards in an elevator. At first, people didn’t know what he was doing. Then one by one, other people started doing it. That’s how trends start

    while it’s good to have freedom of speech, we also need to consider shemiras halashon and keeping this place a nice place to chat. Of course things can get a bit heated. But we should keep it a nice place

    I’m sorry you’re have a hard time –

    I had a hard time a while ago too. What helped was talking to a friend/therapist. Plus, talking to Hashem helped a lot too. I read in the Garden of Emunah by Rabbi Arush and Brody, that when we are having a hard time, we should say thank you Hashem for this too, for i know that this is for my benefit. Then ask Hashem for assistance with your situation. I was desperate for advice and so I tried it. A few days later, things were better than before. I don’t know your situation, but definitely talk to a friend or someone and pray. It might take time, but may you have hatzlacha and feel better

    The reason it’s sometimes difficult to accomplish something is because we put too much on our self. From what I learned from diff shiurim, we should just pick one thing to work on. Mr. Charley Harary mentioned that changing one small habit can help you achieve your goal. And he gave an example of a person that decided to go bike riding once a week, which inspired the person to eat healthier, which helped him lose weight. One small thing leads to another.

    Whether it’s saying Good Shabbos, or concentrating on a bracha, or remembering to not talk in shul, everything counts

    Another thing that we should be aware of is how the satan challenges people. He does so where the person is. If the person is at a low level, the satan tests him at that level. And if the person is at a higher level, the person is tested there. We see for example, when someone wants to be very lenient, the satan entices him to go further that way.

    But what about when someone who wants to go higher? The satan uses that unfortunately to confuse us. One might come across something that seems like Torah, but is not. Truth and falsehood get mingled up.

    And so May Hashem help us to see what is True and what is not. Please protect us so we have true Yiras Hashem, Ahavas Hashem and Ahavas Yisrael

    It would be ideal for people to improve all year round. People get busy and then we focus on different tasks instead of taking to think about what to improve on and how. That’s why there are certain times like the 3 weeks and Elul that remind us to stop and think

    So sorry about your situation. That must be very difficult to go through. I remember when i was in school and didn’t have many friends. It’s hard to not have that interaction. I’m sure you’ve tried many times to kindle a friendship and haven’t been successful, but don’t give up, keep trying. Do you think maybe you might be able to find someone similar that you can relate to and give each other support? Anyway, I wish you success in finding a good friendship

    Good question, I was thinking more about average Jews. We should focus on seeing others in a good light. Even when someone is not doing what we know they should be doing, we can say, maybe they don’t know any better. Or, okay they don’t do this, but they do something else that’s good like charity. The main thing is not to have negative feelings towards fellow Jews, but positive feelings. maybe, if we show them that we see their good qualities and potential, that will inspire them to grow, G-d willing

    A good thing about a petition is that it shows the solidarity and support of the Jewish people. It doesn’t do much physically however, being that the president doesn’t care. We basically stand alone.

    But we have each other and Hashem and that’s what counts. Lets continue to do what we can to help our brothers and sisters – We can bring redemption, may it come soon
