What’s wrong with 9 and 3?
Maybe if you get a lap band surgery you can work out a way to connect a port for holding pants.
And Leviim in my case.
Ok. So what is the physical shape of the Frum community? I’d say it is a polygon.
So the ?? of ????? ?? ??? was that they waddled through a swamp. If so I performed ????? ?? ??? this summer!
In almost every species there is a dominant gender. Dominant doesn’t mean superior, and surely not ‘better’. Like I said, nobody is born better. You might be born luckier. Having the role of dominant is an external, identifiable attribute and it makes sense to appreciate that. Is realizing this insulting? In other words, do I have to blind myself in order not to insult you? Are you born with an inherent insult to which the only solution is to make believe it doesn’t exist?
There’s a much better solution, put things in context. Two roles side by side, one has glamour and both are equally necessary. The sky is not better than the earth, and definitely not more important, but it does have a glamour. We do have a certain respect, and it is used as metaphor for achievement.
Having said all that, the Bracha is actually about being charged with Mitzvos, as Chazal tell us. There is obviously a good reason why men have more Mitzvos, and obviously women aren’t being shortchanged by ????? ???? ???. But we thank Him for what we have.
The whole concept of discussing who is born holier is really childish, which is not out of place in our times. What does it even mean to be born holier? Is this a chairsong? We are born with responsibilities and by fulfilling them we are being fulfilled, and can attain holiness.
Is a Kohen a better person? Is he innately more accomplished? He has a job and position. He is charged with priesthood which carries with it holiness that he must guard.
We apply ??? ???? ???? ???? ??? to a woman as well. When you are forced to sort an order the Halacha respects the potential of Mitzvos. Again, nothing about ‘being’ better.
While the Maharal discusses often the concept of man representing ???? and woman the ????, he actually stresses that it is a representation and not identity.
If you’re taking a poll, I haven’t heard of it. At least not in Boro Park.
On which topic, the one you aren’t able to post?
If you ask him to pay you it is not ?? ???? ??? ?? ???.
You light the new one first, since that is there special for this night and we go towards the right.
I flew with them this year. They had kosher, behaved professionally and friendly.
You missed my point, though. You know what happened to Dovid Hamelech because of this, right?
We are afraid of the consequences.
Your password shows up? You are probably not logged in and your browser saved your username/password. You would have to change the setting in the browser.
Chabad has some very fast songs.
Sam, since you may utilize the Chanuka light not to bump into things, and nowadays we light inside, therefore Shabbos candle is not a problem.
Next is outlawing plastic garbage bags. We’ll have to make the bag out of potato peels.
Even comments that states in general to do Teshuva, without mentioning anything specific, also get yelled at.
They hold that I’m also Mamash a Rasha, and there’s no need to worry about them joining the government because they would be against any kind of Jewish government. And they would yell even louder about a religious, or better yet, Chareidi one.
We would need a Navi, though. The precise spot for the Mizbei’ach and for the design of the Beis Hamikdash. Would we go like Rashi or the Malbim? The Radak says that we can’t really get to the bottom of it and we will need a Navi. This is obvious to anyone who tried getting through it.
I think it’s just a way to measure the Chomer Hadavar. I get this impression from any other place this is invoked.
By the way, it is quite clear from many Rashi’s and certain Gemaros that the Beis Hamikdash will be built after Moshiach comes. It doesn’t actually have to be a Stira, since Moshiach will obviously first get involved with building the Beis Hamikdash before establishing the kingdom, as the Gemara in Bava Basra says. And especially since according to Rashi it will be built instantaneously.
Are you purposely adding words to my point to dissolve it? I didn’t mention anything about voluntary. Even in the Midbar there were those who deserved to die and did. The idea is about being evident and not just a matter of what someone believes. Murder is considered to be self evidently wrong and immoral (so far). Does that mean nobody murders? Nobody steals? Are our jails empty?
As for taking over before Moshiach, as I said, that is Moshiach. The criteria for Moshiach is restoring Torah and Avodah, per the Rambam. So Malei Haaretz De’ah Ess Hashem will be here the same time as Torah rule.
Besides, the Chazon Ish considers anyone born irreligious to be a Tinok Shenishba, since they never had a fair shot at truly understanding what the Torah is. So, Kiruv would continue as usual. And no stoning, killing, beheading or any other stereotype you might want to borrow from other cultures.
Do you think we never had autonomous rule? Was that ISIS?
By getting a majority that doesn’t give you Smicha. We’d still have to rely on excommunication and other Knasos.
But yes, enforcing the Torah is Utopia. Right now the Torah is in Galus. It was downgraded to a nice idea. But it is law. It is the law that Hashem gave us.
The Torah being enforced is not extremism. ??? ??? ???? ????? ???? ???? ????? ????? ????. Your references to other theocracies doesn’t truly portray what we had and what we will have. On the other hand, there are certain Western ideals which we don’t agree to. Namely, the new concept of giving behavior the status of a birthmark. Disapproving of certain behavior was spun into a type of racism.
For a situation where nothing is proven the best approach is to live and let live, rather than have everyone claim to be the one with the truth. This was a realization part of the world came to at last, after centuries of coercing others to follow the ideals of the host.
However, when the truth is known to everyone then it is not anymore a matter of belief. It will make perfect sense for Hashem’s law to be mandatory. It shouldn’t be harder to justify than, say, alternate side parking.
Are we really concerned about the eventuality of him being Mechuyav Misa, or is the point that this Halacha Carries with it a Chiyuv Misa.
The Rambam, in describing what a king can enforce, does not mention your starving with barely method. The idea is simply that the king has the right and duty Yup create society based rules and enforce them. Just like any other government.
And I have no idea from where you pulled that culture thing.
Having a Torah-run country is Moshiach.
The punishments are put in place to show how important those Mitzvos are. Shabbos is severe because it is a Chiyuv Skila/Kares, not because you will get killed. The idea of punishing someone with other stuff depends on necessity and is not a Psak Din per se. It is like all other regulations that are put into place to safe-guard society.
As to your last question, I believe that Eidim yes, Hasraa not. This applies to those who chose to live under your jurisdiction.
If you like freedom from the Torah then obviously you wouldn’t want to have to follow it. We wouldn’t kill anyone until after Moshiach comes, at which point Emuna won’t be a sticky issue. It would be very clear.
What we have now is far from utopia. Teenagers that aren’t responsible enough to think ahead in life and weigh the outcome of their stupidity have the run of the day. Shallow people dictate to the rest of us what is right and what is wrong.
The picture you gave doesn’t square with any depiction given by Chazal. And yes, although you don’t like tickets you agree that you do want police presence. Similarly, nothing is more peaceful than a Torah run society. Punishments, however rare and almost impossible, are announced to keep it going.
The OTD’s were never as prominent as during the second Bais Hamikdash.
And if Melacha, like which Melacha? Melacha Haissa Dayam?
But his work is hypothetical.
Saying you’re tight would be a Chilul Hashem, showing that you are just cheap. I think you did fine. People understand that religious stuff gets complicated. The fact that you were apologetic will make up for the weirdness.
Having a thread started with your name as it’s title.
?????? and ???? are two separate things. Anyhow, Eliyahu will be here before Moshe Rabbeinu.
Those who hold you can Pasken from that story don’t draw on the Agada of Moshe Rabbeinu being like 600,000. Neither are they Mechalek between Rebbe Eliezer or Rebbe Eliezer ben Arach and anyone else.
It’s one thing when Chazal state a Metzios and then we see that our Metzios is different. It’s quite another thing to give a reason by making up a Metzios and then say that by us it is different.
If you actually look at their relationship from quotes and incidents you don’t rally get the picture that they considered the women uneducated or of lower intelligence.
By the way, many of the above comments, including the long ones, are a display of the Chachma Bapelech. (There, I said it.)
Oomis, I guess I can’t blame you for not realizing it but I was actually referring to the Gemara that only when the Nasi does Maaseh Amcha are we commanded Lo Sa’or.
Sure w are Mechuyav to honor the kingdom. But all the above references have nothing to do with privately disparaging of the king. The Tanna in Bava Basra who did not want to condemn Hurdus said that he was afraid to do so.
Daas, if you planned this one you really have patience.
Anyhow, to answer the question, it is Maasim Bechal Yom that men speak over parts of Sugyos at home when they think it would be of interest.
I agree fully with PAA, that anyone not familiar with Gemara would ask such questions. However, the fact that we don’t is not because we learned our lesson not to. It is because (or is supposed to be) we understand that it is not a story; it is a scenario given to understand the guidelines, which will come to use whenever it might be.
Another thing is that the issue where Rebbe Eliezer said Ella Bapellech was where there was an emotionally charged question of why something is fair. Someone that connects that way to a scenario can’t accept logic as an answer.
The Gemara in Sota which says to teach your daughter Torah is not taking about the Halacha making process. It is talking about knowing Torah. Rashi in Shabbos (31?) describes the Shabbos Drasha as being for the women and Amei Ha’aretz. There they learned Halacha with some rational along with Aggadah.
We only find the issue mentioned as not teaching you’re daughter, which means that it is not an inherent Issur. This is why the Maharil quoted above says that she may learn on her own.
That’s a racist fact. It’s not allowed to be true.
Where does he discuss it? I have a problem with that. Doesn’t the Gemara spell out that only smell is something that the Neshama enjoys? There is no bodily enjoyment of music. Furthermore, all Birchos Hane’enin are only when we consume something. When there would be no Me’ila there is no problem of ???? ????? ??? ??? ????.
Do they also make a Brocha on sitting in the shade?
Actually, it was mainstream “Jewish music.”
A very specific way to test what is Yiddish and what is not is to stand back and watch. As I posted back then,
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/anyone-else-worried-about-todays-frum-music/page/2#post-111785. I tried this with a three year old who had no exposure to how people react to certain types of music. As soon as disco music came on she would act silly and wild. The message of the music is clear.
Ignorance might be bliss, but it’s not not brilliance.
And as I wrote above that one, you can draw the parallel between music and clothing. If you can agree that there is something called dressing like a Yid, then you can understand what Jewish music means.
???? ???? ?? ????
On Shabbos!?
I post because it would be a waste not to, after bothering to type all that.
Mr. Voos, do you hate every crazy person?
