R’ Chaim Soloveichik was once on a train and saw a missionary working on an unlearned jew. R’ Chaim walked over and the missionary began to preach to him also. R’ Chaim answered him- j cannot be the messiah because Bar kochba was messiah. the missionary looked at him and said- What?? R akiva was wrong. no he wasnt replied r chaim. yes he was. how do you know? because Bar kochba died! answered the missionary triumphantly.
Aha!! said r’ chaim. Shtarbin iz a rayye.

Hi everyone I’m a new poster but i’ve been following for a while. we say by maariv Vihussair sattan me’achareinu. I think i heard in the name of the Chafetz Chaim that it means to not get worried about past failings, look ahead, and think positive. tomorrow will be a better day
Pac man: I think I did all the holding and I don’t think it’s rude. this way we were able to follow all etiquite and still comply with halachah. btw how do u do the subtitle thing under your name
Hi everyone I’m new here and also recently engaged.I held the door every time by pulling it open and walking through and holding it with my hand stretched out behind me. My kallah let me go first because she knew the halachah. I don’t see why it’s so difficult…
