Chaim87: To answer, “But my question is why not a yom tefila in Manhatan?” — From listening to the RY’s shiur, I would say the reason they are not doing it now – is because of the tremendous danger of amassing so many yidden in one area – and now the predicament of hate among the non-Jews toward the Jews is more than it was ever before. Plus, over 7 million crossed the border illegally since Biden took office. There is a major risk of terrorism, because some of those illegal immigrants are from Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, etc. and they could be Hamas/ISIS/Jihad sleeper cells.
I am sure in his minyan they recite tehilim daily posuk by posuk with intensity and long-winded with kavana and zaakah gedolah – and that’s what he is asking klal yisroel to do.
Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, Rosh Yeshiva of Telz and Lakewood Mesivta, member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, and author of about 80 seforim on Shas and Tanach gave a drasha and he said at around 27 minutes, that the whole idea of going to the Washington Rally is treif like chazer. It’s not going to help, it’s going to make it worse – and it destroys the entire purpose of why Hashem brought this tzara on klal yisrael. As it’s exactly the opposite of what Hashem wants from us.
The hate of the non-Jews is unprecedented across the world and every gov’t – it’s going to become extremely dangerous outside Eretz Yisroel, (quoting
רבי יהונתן אייבשיץ / יערות דבש / but in Eretz Yisroel we have the extra special shemirah from Hashem.Rachmana Latzlan, the demonstrations are counter-productive, the Arabs, Muslims and non-Jews are going to counter demonstrate, and they have much more people then us, and their malice and cruelty, it’s opening up a tremendous sakana gedolah. It’s going to antagonize all the colleges, non-Jews, and the Muslims.
These rally’s should stop, and we should not go to these places. We do not belong in this places. They can incite the non-Jews around us. Chas v’shalom to think that this is what Hashem wants from us
We have to be careful and not go there. It’s not our salvation.
See the shiur:

Press 9264543#Look up on youtube Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak VS Neturei Karta
Neturei Karta of our generation was started by Rav Amrom Blau ztl and Rav Aharon Katzenelbogen zt’l.
The Neturei Karta that you hear on the news and see the videos of – those are sonei yisroel who broke off from Neturei Karta and hijacked the name, and are creating a chillul hashem. They have blood on their hands.Hakodosh Boruch Hu says (Brachos 64a): Talmidei chachomim are marbin shalom ba’olam, they bring welfare and peace on the world because Hakodosh Boruch Hu reacts to their presence.
The Neturei Karta, the ones who are actually guarding the city (Yerushalmi Chagiga 1:7), are the Noachs, the people of righteousness who find favor in Hashem’s eyes.Also listen to Rav Gershon Ribner’s clip titled “the powerful force of antisemitism unleashed by the Zionist movement”
https://rebgershonribner .com/the-powerful-force-of-anti-semitism-unleashed-by-the-zionist-movement
Lookup Rav Gershon Ribner’s website, where he has a 6.5 minute shiur: Awareness of the rishus of a Zionist and his hate for Charedim.
My Rosh Yeshiva zt’l said that in Lithuania, the only ones that wore black and white was the Catholic seminary opposite the yeshiva.
Concerta is extended release Ritalin, effective for 12 hours. It’s extremely commonly
prescribed, and is very beneficial to be able to concentrate and stay focused the entire
day. It’s known to be abused by university students, who use it to stay up and study the
entire night. As long as it’s properly prescribed, it shouldn’t be an issue.
Sign up for the Starwoods SPG personal and business cards, that should give you 30k bonus points if you can do the minimum spending. That will give you enough points, for plenty of hotel stays. Find it on the dansdeals website.
First of all, you can buy a EU rail pass, and take overnight trains
between cities for the nights. Youth hostels offer cheap nightly rates. Open up some US credit cards, that give you large signup bonuses for airline miles, so you can fly for free. Finding frum people to host you, is not so easy. Europeans mostly live in small apartments in the heart of the cities. Plus in the Summer most Europeans are on holiday for at least a month.
Yes, the reform and conservative movements have a ridiculous custom,
where on Parshas Noach, the congregants are invited to bring in their pets for a special Birchas Kohanim service. Followed by kaddish for their deceased companions.
The custom comes from the Catholic and Episcopalian churches, who celebrate the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, by blessing animals on October 4th.
I live in Germany….
What’s the difference between a Jew and a canoe?
A canoe tips.
Switzerland is not part of the European Union. Majority of the
EU countries, do have larger taxes, but the gov’t covers numerous social benefits for all residents, e.g. universal medical coverage, childcare, unemployment insurance, and free university education.
In the US, the cost of medical insurance is astronomical,
and it does not cover pre-existing conditions. In Europe, for people that work, the quality of life is better, e.g. all companies must give at least 5 weeks vacation, and working overtime and on Sunday is strictly regulated.
Foreign tax credit doesn’t help much, e.g. for a person living in
Switzerland. Average position pays over 120,000 CHF/year, and income
tax here is only about 10-15% depending on where you reside.
Most of us don’t make enough money to be taxed by the US?
Good percentage of people in Europe are making over $90,000/year,
especially now with the very low dollar. e.g. Who in Switzerland
makes less then 72,000 CHF a year?
The benefit of Dual citizenship, is that you can renounce your
US citizenship, any you can work in Europe, and not be double
taxed by the IRS. (US is the only country in the world that taxes
foreign earned income).
I am not married. I was thrown out of yeshiva, because I didn’t have money to pay tuition. The rabonim told me that I have to go to the US to work, as I need at least $100,000 to get married, and in Israel one needs to buy an apartment. But, after years of working, I am in big debt, because frum people took advantage of me, and defrauded me big time.
And if I would ever get married, I would be happy with a simple chasana, no flowers, no video, but all the girls want fancy.
What doesn’t make sense, is that I work 10-11 hours a day, it takes me about an hour on the subway each way to get to work and back. It takes me at least an hour to daven in the morning. At the end of the year my salary is $70k before taxes. A chasana, is one night, lasting a couple hours. I have to work a couple years, to pay for a one night couple hour event? Life doesn’t make sense.
Stop complaining about recycling in New York. In many countries in Europe, e.g. Switzerland
you can only use special garbage bags which are costly, and only for non-recycable rubbish.
PET bottles (e.g. plastic water etc) – back to the shop you bought them( e.g supermarket) they have a little hole somewhere where you spend ages posting each one through a hole 2 microns larger than the bottle.
Cardboard: normally collected on prescribed days and left out on the kerbside in bundles the night before (not earlier)
Paper: normally collected on prescribed days and left out on the kerbside in bundles the night before (not earlier)
Tins: To a collection point normally somewhere in town on the street
Glass: To a collection point normally somewhere in town on the street (sorted by colour, e.g.
clear, green, blue)
Vegetable matter: (vegetables bought from the supermarket and not used within 6milliseconds, coffee grounds, peelings etc) Goes in a special biodegradeable plasic bag then in a green dustbin at your apartment block
Other stuff (except batteries hazardous stuff etc) in costly paid bags then in the rubbish container by your house. (Everybody crushes everything in order to fit as much as possible in those bag).
There is a story that a man comes to his Rov, to make a get for his wife.
Right after the get is written, he gives it over to his wife.
Then right away he says Harei at mekudashes li …. , and the Rov says Are you crazy?
So the man says, for a zivug sheni (second marriage) she is good enough.
The problem for frum families to have pets, such as dogs, is that there is a biblical prohibition against neutering animals.
Another problem is pets are mukzteh on shabbos, so they cannot be handled.
Walking dogs on shabbos is also a big problem.
In South Africa, e.g. Johannesburg, it’s the norm, even by rabonim/rosh yeshivas to have dogs in their houses, but that’s
because of security reasons.
Well the post specifies that this is the only minyan in
town. Wouldn’t it be better to daven alone, with kavana
and not skipping, and perhaps then coming to the minyan
to hear borchu, kadish, kedusha?
