When you visibly fold your legs at a meeting, to give you some confidence. Then u realize you’re wearing horribly mismatched socks.

Embarrassing Stories

Most embarrasing moment outside

Sam & Dasyochid, I think you should start a chavrusah Shaf together.

SecularFrummy-

It goes like this.

The generation of Moshe experienced the greatest miracles, like splitting of the red sea.

But scientists today have an explanation even for that. They say it is possible that every 2448 years an extremely forceful gale occurs at an angle to split the sea.

Moses Mendelssohn the Ugly wanted to say that Moshe Rabbeinu used his staff to dissolve the water of the Red Sea.

(His staff was made from sulfur which separates hydrogen and oxygen in h2o)

Miracles like Elijah at Mt. Carmel occurred when the there was an evil inclination for idolatry.

We do not have that evil in us anymore.

iluvbeingjewish- “we hardly have any bechira at all if you think about it.who well marry is annonced 40 days b4 were born…”

Ah, the age old question.

The answer is that your question is flawed. You are asking about the prediction of G-d vs. choice of Man, as if they are two sides to the same coin. But they are not.

Man’s ‘present’ is not only G-d’s ‘present’, it is also G-d’s future and past too.

You cannot attribute the G-dly quality of omnipresence to man.

“To give doubt of his existence”

Golem- Instead of sending me on a 5-step-instruction exploratory tour, just ANSWER MY QUESTION, YOU GOLEM!

also, according to my analysis,

#5 answers #1

also,

‘Hear’- To perceive with the ear.

‘Hair’- threadlike strands growing from the skin.

‘Hare’- A rabbitlike mammal

‘Here’- In, at, or to this place or position.

just for public reference;)

sw33t- please tell us that you said it today (w/o a bracha, i think), so that you can continue tonight.

Wow that is so amazing! That must be a awakening for me, a sign from G-d that there are implications in ???? ????? of Israel Independence Day. I will begin to observe and honor that day with barbeques, just as i observe the other holidays.

I will stand up to the most learned rabbis, and let my position be known.

oh a sign from g-d, it is a sign from g-d

Maybe I will start a new religion,- ’tis a sign from g-d.

la la la

I think you may want to look into Yesodei Hatorah in Queens or Yesodei Yisrael in Monsey. They are Yeshiva high school affiliates of Touro College.

sharp- isn’t that Mark Levin?

Let's Talk About

If that’s the game you want to play

gearing up i guess, wut

You are all crazy! You’re not even supposed to TOUCH the other guys car. People become way too comfortable when they parallel park. I’ve seen people push a guys car back a couple of inches! These are not bumper cars.

(sorry for the name calling- I just wanted to be sensational)

yaakov- lol

profound

Sam2- DY’s right. It’s not Yesh Me’ayin. Its made from delineating a form of man in the dirt.

Is this a Rambam in Yad you’re talking about, or in Moreh Nevuchim?

How about we have this thread, called “Rate the Posters”, where anyone can write who and why they think is radical or untrustworthy. It will be like a reference thread.

If one person out of many (not oneofmany) is untrustworthy, then stars work. but when the actual system is full of bad raters, there is no point in rating.

nitpicker- “and also to attribute that quote about believing stories to the Steipler is laughable…”

It is attributed to him- don’t know if there are other sources before, but let me find the main topic for you-

The same Steipler Goan, in his Sefer Hayei Olam writes, “It is known that the Maharal produced a Golem”

(and I know you wish your argument wasn’t blatantly incorrect;)

nitpicker- There are skeptics to every claim, and that’s perfectly fine. But to take the opposite position on every claim, purporting that the evidence is on YOUR side, is blatantly incorrect.

There is a famous adage from the Steipler Goan, who said, “If you believe every tale you hear you are a heretic, and if you believe that every tale couldn’t have occurred, you are a heretic as well.

The same Steipler Goan, in his Sefer Hayei Olam writes, “It is known that the Maharal produced a Golem”

The Steipler was known to have Ruach Hakodesh.

This is not to say that every tale of the Golem is true. But that the Maharal did create a Golem.

old man, and nitpicker- your stances on many issues are completely unsupported, and your backward reasoning is very revealing of argumentative people who are brutally unlearned.

zahavasdad- “Many of the Medrashim cannot possibly be true. Many are contradictory”

-The first subscription of a true torah learner is that there are smarter and greater men out there, giants of torah, who can reconcile contradictions that thou cannot.

“Many were written in a code so that outsiders could not understand many were also subject to censors as well”

Before we effectively denounce all Jewish writings as possibly altered, and in-understandable, we must concede to the Torah Giants who are able to read and interpret the Amoraic writings effectively. The Vilna Gaon, Rashash, and others were able to discern the true text from altered writings and misprints, solely through their torah wisdom.
