    I don’t know if they were usually Jew haters, but the stories are usually about the Jew haters.

    AinOhd,

    I think the Ramban discusses your point about if Moshiach is a person or a deity, in his debate.

    None. For news, I check out this site and get updates from Arutz Sheva. For any other topic, either a book from the library or Google. I never found a newspaper article to be actually enlightening. They are usually distilled into a small powdered version of the editor’s remains from the writer’s depiction of what he/she gleened from a few sources.

    By the way, most often it isn’t even necessary to read past the headline. The headline would read, “Plane crashes, everyone survives”. That piques your interest, and you read on, only to find: Yesterday, at ..:…, in northern …., a small Cessna carrying … people crashed in a wooded area near …. and all four survived. They are in … condition. Ahmed Muhmadda, who was at the seen, said, “Wow!”

    A good trick is to have an image of the keyboard setup on your screen. This way you never look at the keyboard, even before having any experience.

    I don’t know how long you are going to this psychologist, but you have to give it time. If a long time went by and you see absolutely no progress, it might be time to listen to referrals.

    Is your depression based on anything specific? Can you think of anything that does lift you up? Do you have hobbies? Do you have friends?

    Now that you made yourself a screen name, why don’t you share your opinions on all other matters, as well? It is very depressing to be depressed, so try to get your mind off that topic, when your not actively trying to do something about it. Get busy with things. Activety flushes you with energy, or life.

    One,

    It’s not at all that simple. Speak to anyone in Kiruv. Different Rabbanim have different approaches, but there is the general idea of Mutav Sheyechalel Shabbos Echad Ve’al Yechalel Shabbossos Harbei. One thing we do know: someone that is not religious will not stop driving because of a religious person telling him what religion mandates.

    Get a ride with someone else from time to time, just to see how petty it seems to anyone other than the driver. It’s obviously not about the need to get to your destination as much as the frustration of being interrupted.

    I cannot give real advice untill I test drive my idea. However, being prepared always helps. When I know and pay attention to the fact that although I am late, it will take 10 minutes to circle the block once, I don’t get so frustrated at every car that parks or pulls out.

    Not that I know this to be the case, but if both would change each other they would be switching places. So, it’s perfect. They both become like her. He wants her to remain and she changes him to become like her:)

    In a marriage there is the possibility of the one who understands people’s behavior to use it for their own benefit. Also, they can impose their own idea by implying that their own position is professional and far outweighs the other’s.

    The Gemara could be referring to the main Targum. There was more than one Targum. Reb Yosef also made a Targum. I think I’ve heard of a theory that the other Targum in our Chumash is really Targum Yerushalmi, and was abbreviated to TY, which was mistakenly unabbreviated to Targum Yonason. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but if you like it feel free to swallow it.

    I don’t know where you learned. Where I was, although most of up stayed, it was against our will. Many had their own Seforim in front of them so as not to be wasting time. Where I went after that, it emptied out. How many others were like you? When you look back at those Sugyos, do you recall what your Maggid Shiur said, or what was said at the Shiur Klali? Even if you again answer what I don’t expect, do you actually find the whole thing necessary?

    Maybe the truth to it lies in the idea that usually you aspire to be like someone you know and admire. So how did that psychologist get to know the psychologist he admired :?)

    You don’t have to be a bum not to be interested in something extra curriculum, which is what it turns out to be, for the reasons I mentioned. Secondly, what about the Kollel, that doesn’t learn the same thing as the Bochurim? The fact is that during Seder, most people are learning. Most of them leave by Shiur Klali.

    As a Bochur, did you attend Shiur Klali? Did you pay attention and write it down the way you did at the regular Shiur?

    The reason they are used only in that context, seems to be that Shaala means to ask. Its verb, Sho’al, can be used as, borrowed. Kasha, is a statement; you are stating that something is wrong, or not smooth.

    In my circle they do wash, but it is still not as mandated and hard wired as by the men. Perhaps it is because Tosafos says that in his day it was uncommon to wash, due to the fact that Sodom salt is not common anymore. We mostly do it as an Inion, and not for the danger aspect. Women usually do not do Inyanim.

    Actually, Rav Wosner in Monsey was Mattir it. People lump everything they don’t understand into one spoon, and call it Avoda Zara and Kishuf. By the way, is it really Assur to heal with Kishuf? The Rashba didn’t think so.

    Those that have no idea what it is condemn it. Usually, those who are against one form of alternative therapy are against them all. I wonder how many would be Mattir stone healing, that Rabbeinu Bachye speaks of.

    Canine,

    Not necessarily did someone decide to leave the fold and follow the gentiles. Certain changes happen slowly enough until it becomes the norm. If not for that, I wouldn’t be wearing a buttoned shirt. There were German Jews who were very Frum and they dressed German. Until there was a large concentration of Chassidishe Yidden, people wore what was normal to wear.

    Canine,

    Certain things changed very slowly; each place at its own pace. Some things are to be taken with their context. If you moved to America before the war, you don’t want to stand out, being the only one in your hemisphere with a beard and Reckel. Many people today who wear Hoizen Zokken have/had a father who wore a down hat with no beard. Take a look at pictures of the 50s in America.

    I don’t think it’s appropriate to make a sweeping statement like that when most people are simply dressing in the same manner with which they were brought up. When someone changes his dressing style, that is where you can see the group he is trying to identify with.

    Mussar s meant for those who want to better themselves, to know how to go about it. I don’t know of any Baal Midos Ra’os who became convinced through Mussar Sefarim that he must change. When he witnesses the contrast between himself and a normal person, that can sometimes trigger a desire to change. An astute Mashgi’ach or Rosh Yeshiva can personally work on such a person. It is more so the job of the parents to pick it out and try to correct it.

    The Yeshiva is a place to learn Torah, it is not a clinic. Nor is the Yeshiva a replacement for good parenting. If anything should be done about such behaviors, it should be in the direction of educating parents how to deal with situations and behaviors. Perhaps you want to organize classes or give out books, or dedicate an hour on Talkline Communications for parenting methods.
