I did not say “that Israel had Shmad up 1 million people.” (Or did I? I did not mean that.)
I said (or meant,) the Zionist movement in Europe from 1920-1939 had Shmad up 1 million yidden. The leaders of that zionist movement and shmad founded their medina based on that shmad r”n.In regards to your above response to me:
Yes, those gedolei hador on your list were the greatest in recent times. (Btw, my zaida z”l learned by the Ch”Ch in Radin for 16 years, and we are cousins with Maran RM”F… [I’m afraid I am identifying myself.]) Yes, as far as we know, all on your list are greater than the Lubavitcher Rebbe z”l.
However, did you see the Mesilas Yesharim I cited? He says specific qualifications that may apply to the Rebbe z”l more than anyone, even more than those bigger than him all around. Of course, Mashiach will be a talmid chacham and tzaddik. But possibly not necessarily the biggest t”ch & tzaddik.
I had a question. How will the Melech HaMashiach be anyone from our generation, no matter who, when it will be after techiyas hamaisim with Rebbe Akiva Eiger walking around? With the Vilna Gaon, the Rashba, the Ramban, the Rambam and Rashi? Abaiye veRava? Rebbe Meir and all the Tanaim? Even Dovid Hamelech? The Avos? Moishe Rabeinu, who it is apikursis to believe anyone could be a bigger navi? How will someone from today will be on top of all of them? R’ Yeruchum in Daas Torah asks something similar.
It just must be, that this is the ratzon of H’, that Mashiach will be from the generation of his coming, with certain qualities, but lav davka the biggest around.As for your 2nd personal question of me: I happen to shtam from the first chasidim of the Alter Rebbe. (There were about 5.) The first 6 Rebbes were meshadech with my mishpacha. We are cousins with the “Heintege Rebbe” (that’s his name) z”l. My elter zaida was a Rosh Yeshiva in Russia before WW1.
(Most Lubavitchers today are from the Heintige Rebbe z”l or the Friedeke Rebbe. Behind their backs we call them the “tzu gekumeners””. We are the “geboiriners.” However, through a series of events, my Zaida z”l was a yasom as a boy, ended up in a Litvish Yeshiva, became an adam gadol, and lost all ties to Lubavitch. So, I am not a Lubavitcher, but I have some affinity to it. (I have what to answer to any misnagdus taanois too.)
As per your request for me to clarify my stance, yes, I “ unequivocally (agree) that the lubavitcher rebbe was not and will not be moshiach.” This is based on the understanding that Mashiach will be from the living (not really sure of the source of that.) So since the Rebbe z”l was niftar, that takes the Rebbe z”l out of the running.Towards the end of Sefer Mesilas Yesharim, I believe perek 25, the MS”Y has a description of the Melech HaMashiach. A Talmid Chacham commented, that his words do sound closest in our times to the Lubavitcher Rebbe z”l.
See it with an open mind, and see if you can come up with another in the past few years who meets that description. However, being as the Rebbe z”l was niftar, it will have to be another.Don’t mean to be a snob, but I like NJ’s no self service gas stations. I miss it when I have to fill up out of state. I always properly thank the attendant.
I must be moicheh on @simcha613’s comment.
To say that the Geulah happened already, is not believing in on of the 13 Ikrim, Ani maamin bebias haMashiach… If you believe the Geulah happened, you do not believe this Ikar, which unfortunately constitutes apikorsis and an apikoires.
Besides for the ridiculous statement that “He will say I gave you a medinah…” This medinah had shmad up 1 million yidden to become irreligious…Hi,
I will iy”H be in Yerushalayim Jan. 8 – Feb. 7 for my nephew’s wedding. I will be renting a car.
I am looking to go to Amuka. (I’m an alman/widower, and will also be davening for 2 of my sons [yesoimim.]) Is it safe for me to go alone?
Same question for the kever of the Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh (HarvHazeisim.)
Same question with the Kever of The Chovos Halevovos (Tzefas or By kever of Chavakuk?) I am writing a sefer on the Chovos Halevovos, so I certainly would want to daven there.
Guided tours up north include much more, and I believe it wold be too long a day for me.
Thanks!Maran Hagaon R’ Chaim Brisker z”l, had his wife’s name with his on the printed wedding invitations he sent out to his Son, hagaon R’ Moishe z”l’s wedding to the daughter of his mechutan Zkan Haravbonim Hagaon R’ Elya Pruzhiner z”l.
If not for Israel, the USA would have to establish their own military base in the Middle East, which would cost the US far more than aid they give to Israel. The US has a bargain here in helping keep their ally and “always available to be a USA military base” secure.
Btw, I am in no way a Zionist, I recognize galus including in Israel, and at the same time, I of course want whatever will keep all Yidden safe.
What amount for older zivug sheini (alman)?
I gave $2,000 each when marrying off my young daughters. Is it the same?W

Search: Teshuvos Rebbe Akiva EigerTell the kids to save all their divrei Torah on the Hagadah before Magid, for after Hallel, or for the day meals.
Do not take away from them saying their complete notebooks. I even remember how much it meant to me 50 years ago. I remember my sister crying when she realized her mistake of saving half of her stuff for the “3rd and 4th Sedorim” of the last 2 days Pesach… 🙂
Your kids are gold! Appreciate what you have!Very clear lomdesher shiurim
sorry, no outside links
