If the beliefs of the NASI Project are true, then why were they never mentioned by 33 centuries of our ancestors?

Is it SAFE for bachurim who are obviously Jewish to go to non-Jewish
sports events, where they might be surrounded by people who hate them?

UJM, I appreciate this excellent article.

But what is the name of the author? Which newspaper published this article?

Rabbi Avrohom Birnbaum said this in Yated Neeman :

We all set goals, especially spiritual goals.

We all want to accomplish so much in both asei tov and sur meira.

There are masechtos we’re determined to learn,
areas of halacha we want to master.

There is the fight against the yeitzer hara that we are so determined to win;
the shemiras halashon kabbolah and shemiras einayim kabbolah;
the kibbud av v’eim kabbolah and the internet kabbolah
that we have made with such conviction…and then nisyonos happen,
obstacles are placed in our way, and we often feel like we simply can’t win.
It’s too hard. “Oy,” we think, “we didn’t realize how tough it would be.”

It’s at these moments that we should look at Donald J. Trump and say:

“Look at what Trump did. He had a goal. He may be a little meshugah
in some ways, but this meshugeneh didn’t let anything stop him.
He stayed focused, going after his prize with tenacity.
He didn’t give up for a second, and now he’s president of
the United States once again. He’s got battle scars, but he made it.”

When it comes to our goals in ruchniyus, we should be as meshugah as Trump.

Now go be a meshugeneh!

Coffee Addict, I actually liked UJM’s comments in this discussion,
and I may copy his comments to my computer for future reference.

Coffee Addict, your question about binah is a valid question,
but this Coffee Room is not the best place to ask that question.

In this web site, in this Coffee Room, there are people
who insult the Dati Leumi at every possible opportunity.

I will not mention their names.

“Why did the Torah [Scroll] have to come from an Orthodox Shul?”

=============================================

MY RESPONSE:

Thank you for your question, It is a very important question.

You might not be aware of this, but in recent decades,
Reform and Conservative and other off-the-Derech movements
have been writing their own Torah Scrolls! Rachmanah Latzlan!!

One female fake-sofer, Miss Aviel Barclay, calls herself “Soferet”
and her web site is www dot Soferet dot com.

There are big problems with this.

[1] Halachah clearly states that a Torah Scroll written by a woman is PASUL (invalid).

[2] If I remember correctly, Aviel Barclay is a convert to Reform Judaism,
which makes her NOT Jewish, and a Torah Scroll written by a non-Jew is PASUL (invalid).

[3] She holds by non-Orthodox Rabbis, and only by non-Orthodox Rabbis,
which again makes her Torah scrolls100% PASUL (invalid).

She also teaches random people how to write Torah Scrolls, if they pay her.

Many years ago, I sent her an email which quoted classic Torah sources
which prove that a Torah Scroll written by a woman is PASUL (invalid).
She sent me an email back, and she already knew that the Halachah
was definitely against her, but that did not stop her, or even slow her down.

In the 1990s & early 2000s, there was another Reform female fake-sofer
who called herself “Chatam Soferet”. I do not know if she is still active or alive.

In my opinion, it would be very appropriate to pray that
all of the fake Torah Scrolls written by her,
and all of the fake Torah Scrolls written by all pasul people,
should all be completely burned.

PS: In Eretz Yisrael, fake Torah Scrolls have been written by ARABS!!
Rachmanah Latzlan!! Rachmanah Latzlan!! Rachmanah Latzlan!!

Is seminary worth it, if it causes the girl to delay marriage by 1 or 2 years?

Donald Trump was supported by EVERY RAV.
Kamala Harris was supported by the EREV RAV.

I am sorry to hear that you experienced hardships as a tutor.

I have experience tutoring secular subjects, and my students
attended around 50% of the time, which made it
very hard to make any money from tutoring.

I have not tutored in many years; I just gave up.

pekak:

Thank you for sharing those very valid facts!

After 120 years, G*D will judge you for Sinat Chinam
against Torah-observant members of the IDF.
You are not good enough to polish their shoes.

You will also be judged for your inexcusable lack of gratitude
(Hakarat HaTov) towards members of the IDF,
who make gigantic sacrifices protect Jewish land and Jewish lives.

Last but not least, the people who taught you to hate
will be punished for teaching Sinat Chinam and ingratitude.

One of the Frummest Rabbis who I ever knew,
a man who knows all of Shas and Shulchan Aruch,
who holds by every possible chumrah,
who holds by only the Charedi Gedolim,
told me many times that seminary for girls
is waste of time, and he refused to send his girls to seminary.

Your Dog Doesn’t Love You by Rabbi Yonason Goldson

When Donald Trump was elected President in 2016 CE,
many Leftists and Liberals publicly stated that
Donald Trump would certainly start new wars.

TOTAL NUMBER OF WARS STARTED BY DONALD TRUMP: ZERO [0].

TOTAL NUMBER OF LIBERALS AND LEFTISTS WHO ADMITTED THAT THEY WERE WRONG: ZERO [0].

Baruch Green of VIN News said:

Here’s why it is clear and irrefutable that Donald Trump deserves to be re-elected, and the country badly needs his leadership.

(1) Heading in the Wrong Direction

The nation is on a troubling path. Open borders have led to an influx of unvetted illegal migrants, attracting drug cartels, gangs, human trafficking networks, and terrorists, who invade and exploit vulnerable suburban neighborhoods. Innocent lives have been taken due to this flagrant violation of our country’s constitutional laws.

Meanwhile, soaring inflation and interest rates have made life increasingly difficult for middle- and low-income Americans who struggle with exorbitant costs

Additionally, concerns over political freedom have emerged, with Biden and Harris weaponizing the justice system to target political opponents through “lawfare,” rather than protecting the American people’s freedoms.

The left is on a mission to censor the opposition, suppress the facts, and control the flow of (mis)information. This poses an existential threat to democracy which must be defeated, or the future of our republic is in peril.

(2) Dangerous Radical-Left Ideologies

Progressive policies have redefined essential aspects of American life, from “woke” gender ideologies and immorality infiltrating schools and institutions to controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies affecting our everyday lives. The left has promoted late-term abortions, even during the ninth month, when a child is viable.

Biological males can access women’s locker rooms and sports, eroding women’s rights and protections. Meanwhile, taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prisons, promoted by Kamala Harris, reveal how her radical agenda has shifted society away from core American values, and toward dangerous social experimentation.

(3) Attacks on Our Closest Ally, Israel

The recent, brutal assault on Israel by Hamas and other Iranian Proxies underscored the critical importance of maintaining strong relationships with allies. Biden’s lifting of sanctions on Iran has fueled regional instability, enabling adversaries to target Israel, our strongest Middle Eastern ally.

Kamala Harris has been sympathetic and supportive of pro-Hamas elements which have hijacked the Democrat party.

Trump’s first administration, by contrast, made historic strides in fostering peace in the region by strengthening Israel. These include the embassy move, recognition of sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and Abraham Accords, which expanded diplomatic ties and enhanced Israel’s security.

(4) Strengthening Economy Through Capitalism

Trump’s commitment to free-market capitalism starkly contrasts with the current administration’s tilt–or total shift–toward socialism. His tax cuts and deregulatory policies served as a catalyst for business growth and prosperity, creating jobs and exciting opportunities for all Americans.

The current administration’s policies of wealth redistribution, heavy regulation, and crushing climate policies reflect a socialist direction, which stifles innovation, job creation, and personal responsibility. Trump’s policies created explosive economic growth that benefited American workers, helped the ‘little guy’ and allowed families to thrive.

(5) School Choice and Support for Communities of Faith

Trump has been a vocal advocate for school choice, which provides much-needed support to parents who want quality education options. This approach especially resonates with the Orthodox Jewish community, who face astronomical private school tuition costs. Trump’s policies would ease this financial burden and give parents more control over their children’s education, in line with their faith and values.

‘America First’ Foreign Policy and National Security: For the first time in decades, there were no wars during Trump’s presidency. His foreign policy focused on reducing U.S. involvement in costly foreign entanglements while prioritizing American interests and security. His firm stance on military strength and global engagement left the U.S. safer and respected on the world stage, in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s policies of weakness and cowardice that have led to escalating international crises and heavily diminished national security.

(6) Return to Law and Order

For decades Trump has championed justice and law enforcement, recognizing the need to keep our communities safe and secure. His commitment to law and order offers a counterpoint to current policies, which have encouraged violent crime, theft and shoplifting to surge. Under Trump, Americans knew they could depend on a leader who would prioritize the safety of their children, families and neighborhoods, while protecting and supporting the police who risk their lives daily to protect our citizens.

(7) Two Divergent Visions for America

This election represents a choice between two distinct paths: one vision that promotes a prosperous, secure, and proud America, and another that leans toward economic hardship, international instability, and ideological experimentation. Trump’s re-election would mean a return to policies that champion freedom, economic opportunity, and American pride.

It’s time to make America great, prosperous, safe, and proud again.

In Conclusion…

President Trump is the candidate with the unwavering values, moral clarity, strength, integrity, courage, resolve, and principles to lead our nation out of the many struggles we face. He is a proven winner.

Most importantly, as during his first term, Trump demonstrated leadership abilities and success, despite immeasurable obstacles and enmity from the Democrats, media, and even some Republicans.

The choice is clear.
