jbaldy22, We know, because we’re on the CR, maybe he doesn’t visit the CR. How should he know you get a Mazel Tov (oh! I forgot you put a sign on the door, maybe he couldn’t read English / Hebrew / Russian / Spanish)
It’s an old argument (gasp) that just because sinas chinam was the primary cause of the second churban bayis, just having ahavas chinam will do the quick fix. Many Seforim list a lot of aspects that need tikun. I may have written a few with an old s/n (gasp again), foremost being limud haTorah, as the Ohr haChayim writes explicitly.
I love your suggestion, though it has been suggested here before (old timers can list the links). I just have one problem with it. You want me to list the “maalos”, praises of another “camp”, group. What if that will identify me, my “camp”. If I write praises of chassidim, you’ll know I’m a misnaged. If I write maalos about Zionists you’ll know I’m a Neturei Karta (or a Katan).
Like a Mod. (where can i get a pitchfork?)
Not nice to make fun of us board people. (Besides, did you ignore this one?)
.. the last one. Yup! That’s me. “Everyone”. and Oh, yeah, I’m baruch HaShem fine. Thanks for taking note.
Talmidchochom:
I suppose you’re addressing little me. And the answer is RIGHT HERE! It generally takes about 1 – 2 years to complete the full course, in-depth training.
Course includes watching as suspicions, accusations arise between members, between staff. Watching (in horror, or other, in fascination) as one member engages another in dialog. The tone, the words (WORDS?!?), the fire, the (holy, wholly, holey) smoke. Oh. It’s called conversation. There’s a special dictionary for those endearing titles used here. After 1 – 2 years one get certified…
Mazel Tov!
(I guess now you could announce to your parents / in-laws that she was expecting…, I mean you told us a week ago)
NO Oomis, don’t settle for anything less.
I once heard a shiur from Rav Mattisyahu Solomon Shlita where he says that “life” is defined by something one cannot have enough of. Imagine, he says, an old man, healthy and of sane mind, with full mental capacity. He makes a party for his family and friends “I had enough of life, tomorrow I’m dying”. We generally don’t hear such stories. One want life FOREVER! It’s an inborn mechanism HaShem ingrained into all living beings, to preserve themselves “naturally”.
So No, May you live till (past) 140. Productive and useful, healthy and happy good years. (then come back for another brocho “Hey great great great great grandchildren, someone 80 years ago gave me a brocho for long life, in the CR… let’s go find..”)
I hear (well not really) AND UNDERSTAND you.
Let’s try. At the beginning, the VERY beginning of Yehoshua, we find explicitly ?? ???? ??? ????? ??? ???? ????? ?? ???? ?????. That was said to the conquering general and army. That was to be the main mission of the nation. And it was.
We find Nach replete with meforshim saying how diligent they were in regard to Torah study. How generals at war had Torah on their mouths and mind. David haMelech would “talk in learning” when visiting with kings. ?????? ??????? ??? ?????. Anyone remember the query how an amputee does Chalitza? Or ???? ???, or ????? ???? ????? ?????, where these questions were asked? In the field, while running, engaging the enemy… As EOM (end of message?) so eloquently wrote: Torah was and is as much of a fabric of Jewish life as involuntary human reflexes.
(Oh, so you don’t know me yet!!)
Could be there was no Bais Hamikdash on Tisha b’Av.
(see thread about frogs and explaining jokes)
Oomis: Ta’anis Esther, if I recall correctly is to commemorate the three day fasting of the Yidden in Shushan, and the fasting of all the Yidden the day before the want out at war to protect themselves. We fast to memorialize the concept that HaShem is ???? ?????? ????. That’s not really a contradiction to merriment.
It is those sad occasions, whose fast commemorates mourning, that are a contradiction to making merry.
(I think in the Bais Hamikdash, the Leviim played music on Yom Kippur, on Tisha bAv they didn’t)
DY:
Welcome to America – since when does legal reasoning make sense?
Oomis: What’s so bad about living in good health to the ripe age of 130+?
May HaShem grant you a long, productive, fulfilling life.
I could list a lot of houses that are not shoveling now.
I pasken that I remember hearing some prohibition on asara bteves. I further pasken I may be wrong.
and as far as the Spanish expulsion, I think the Rabbonim permittted it for those TWO reasons. Because they were going Al Kiddush HaShem, they permitted it in order to lift their spirits. (I don’t remember a pikuach nefesh factor) And I think it wasn’t the Abarbanel who was the one who permitted it, rather the general Rabbinic presence.
(drawing on memory), again I pasken I may be wrong.
Most definitely so. That’s why most of the time YW won’t allow posting names of subject. They do have s staff of diligent and vigilant workers who try to keep this place safe. Defining hints and revealing identities are generally deleted/edited. One may always request a certain revealing, damaging, lashon hara laden thread be deleted.
THANK YOU, MOD(0-1000) Welcome.
I forgot how to type a dot. (oops)
Kidding aside, I think they use the bottom one. (oops again)
Sure. They both (Sharia and American Law) both borrowed a ton from us, Torah people.
Not at all nice of you, HaLeiVi. You don’t have me in mind. Where’s you mentchlichkeit? Where’s you bein adam lchaveiro? And you go to pray (and daven too) three times daily as if you’re a righteous, pious tzaddik, not having me in mind. I call that a <DELE [undeleted] hypocrite.
Gamanit:
I wrote that earlier:
..put up signs all around that say “WARNING – SNOW !!” or distribute leaflets “Walking in Snow for Dummies”
“Some studies have proven that snow or ice can become slippery, thereby causing one who steps on it, to slip and fall. While we don’t know exactly how it works, studies proves that such has been the case for quite a long time. When walking outside and snow is suspected of being present, one should tend to look where he/she’s going…
(someone’s testing my resolve)
Trust, that is exactly what I’m writing. Clearing one’s own (governmentally acquired) property, is not an issue of bein adam lachaveiro, it is just a government required activity. to my humble opinion.
Bain adam lachaveiro would be to clear city streets, put up signs all around that say “WARNING – SNOW !!” or distribute leaflets “Walking in Snow for Dummies”
Again, the snow is not your (or my) fault. The city makes you do it, it’s between the city and the landowner, NOT the people. Caring for another fellow does not stop at the end of your sidewalk. So if you’re shoveling because of bain adam lachaveiro, why not do the whole block.
zd, you probably did not understand. This has nothing to do with bein adam lchavero. It is not you hezek, you did not put the snow there, and the area does not belong to you, or you could just rope of the area. If you want to be nice and shovel YOUR sidewalk, why not do it for anyone and everyone else. What makes your sidewalk your bain adam lchavero. The government makes it your responsibility, it is a responsibility to the city, not to the people. (I myself don’t own, I shovel regardless, neighbors’ too)
When they’re called in to collect evidence…
(like everyone else here) Oh, really?!
I don’t think I’d be allowed to play on Yom Kippur (outside the bais hamikdash). Listening, I think (I’m playing Rav now) would be permitted. On tisha b’av one may only play and listen if qoing out r”l into exile, al kidush HaShem. Taanis Esther both listening and playing are permitted. Asarah b’teves and shiva asar b’tamuz, both are forbidden (unless you’re an amateur, and the instrument is a violin – OUCH!!). Tzom Gedaliah I pasken that I don’t know.

DY: That was my “chakira” earlier
Y & P: No. You’re you like I’m me. Don’t get me confused. If I’ll convince myself that I’m me, then maybe you’d be you. Until then..
First of all b’shaah tova to you Mrs. Jbaldy22 (see thread about when to announce…)
I wanted to write along the lines of DY. I’m not a homeowner (gasp) so I don’t know what constitutes the homeowner’s property. Something not on one’s property is definitely not his obligation in any way to remove, more than cleaning the street. The question would only be if the government makes it your responsibility, then by rote of dena demalchusa, it may become your property, to actually be mechuyav in damages (in din Torah). And then maybe p’tur of reshus harabim won’t apply. – just thinking out loud – I leave it for the leading Rabbis and Talmudicians of the hallowed Yeshiva World CR to discuss and decide.
You’re you like I’m me.
HaKatan: I’m not really following the content, “tochen”, only the fun part. The wording, method and angle of attack,…
And I like your last line “…or will write” !!!
Rabbahs wear ski masks.
Nina, Pinta..
All loose minds were sold on eBay. (whose was that?)
Scary, dangerous question.
I probably meet some others. I mean, there’s just so many (kain eyin hora) people in the world, you’re bound to at least once bump in to another.
I think we should have secret pins attached, in a unique, easily recognizable area, with one’s screen name. – No, you show me your’s before I show you mine! – Oh! (THATS YOU?!?!) I’m sorry I changed my mind. Not showing.
Like I wrote, if you want us to believe you, we will. We’re a bunch of <Deleted>s anyways (hey, put it back). Pesi (no – not my name) Yaamin lchol Davar!
