@LABoy – there was a Roman general who pressed Avrohom Fried by at least a few years: pygmaeii gigantem humeris impositi plusquam ipsi gigantes vident.

Rational: hence my point. If YO wants to pluralize as tallisos because that is the vernacular in spoken Hebrew, gezunterheit. But then he should not be outraged at those who pluralize talleisim because that is the vernacular in Yiddish.

YO: one reason we call it Shalosh Seudos is because there is a mitzvah to eat three meals on Shabbos. When eating the first two, however, there is no indication that we are doing it for the mitzvah, since it is normal to eat a meal at night and a meal in the morning. When we eat the third meal, however, which is usually much earlier than the evening meal is typically eaten (especially in the winter months),we are showing that even those first two meals were eaten not because of convention, but for the mitzvah. Therefore we refer to that third meal as Three Meals, because that is the “megaleh” on all three.

I always find it funny when people rant against the errors of others while remaining ignorant of their own deficiencies. In a famous story, a man came to Rav Moshe Feinstein to complain about the lack of knowledge of dikduk among yeshivaleit. In the way common among Americans, the man vocalized diduk with the stress mile’eil – DIK-duk. Rav Moshe gently corrected him, saying, “it’s actually dik-DUK.”

Joseph: for the umpteenth time, that would make sense if he said all Ashkenazic hechsherim are subpar. Since he singled out the Eidah as being the worst, that must not be his intention.

Joseph – so you’re saying that the Rabbonim of the Eidah Hachareidis hold the Eidah Hachareidis hechsher to be acceptable? And that for that reason we should accept it, despiteothers disagreeing? Wow, I hadn’t realized that! So when Belzer meat was essentially treif, we should have eaten it because the Rabbonim of the Belz Badatz said it was good! And (lehavdil) everybody in this forum should accept that Chassidus Chabad and all of its minhogim are the correct way to go, because that’s what the Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach Shlita said! Have you ever heard of a self-referential loop? Or circular reasoningn

Apushatayid – as YO pointed out, that is spelled with a final alef, meaning it is not feminine. Moreover, the Meleches Shlomo says it (maybe) should be pronounced Ayla (with a Schwa under the Yud)

Laskern – cherry picking sources doesnt make those who dont follow them mekilim (despite the late unlamented RGP). No less an authority than the Shlah saysthat it is a SAKANA to say Mizmor Shir Leyom Hashabbos after shkiah. How many shuls do you know that are makpid to ALWAYS finish kabbolas Shabbos earlier than shkiah?

(And if you know some that are, they are almost certainly being meikil in other areas such as saying Shema before the zman….)

And The Rebbe, Nesi Doreinu Shlita, is by you nothing? If He davens at the regular time, eilov tishmo’un!

Rebbetzin Golden said “totafos un the Torah is also not a Hebrew word”.

Chas vesholom. The only language other than Lashon Hakodesh contained in the Torah is Aramaic,and that only in the two words yegar sohaduso. Thus say Chazal. When we say that that and pas have meanings in Kaspi and Afriki it is just a soman or a giluy (Rema mipanu, Beer Sheva)

Rebbetzin golden- you went to a restaurant? And by implication, you ate? What happened to kadeishatzmecha bemutat lach? Did youeat only bread and drink only water?

Rebbetzin golden – funny way you have of showing respect. If it was good enough for The Rebbe, it should be good enough for you. You and all your gedaylim can snooze through davening on Shovuos, it’s probably the same as you daven all year.

At least we now know that Rabbetzin Goldenstehdusjr davens nusach sefer (no kulam kedoshim added in Ashkenaz)

@rebbetzin, I disrespect my chassidus? How, exactly? My chassidus is what teaches me az a rebbe is doh nor einer. In fact, my religion in general teaches me that – remember Rashi? Tol mateh vehach al kodkodom, dabor echod ledor etc! My chassidus explains at great length the inyan of a Nossi, as was noted by many people in the Chabad threads. The only time they go off the rails is when they try to zetz ein silly things to mollify the misnagdim. But I do nothing to disrespect my chassidus, I only speak its truth.

@rebbetzin eilu v’eilu is a holy Jewish value, except when one of the sides is Moshe Rabbeinu (ispashtusa d’Moshe bechdel dor). That’s the lesson we learn from Korach – he was a big talmid chucho vechu’, but when you argue on the Nossi you are nothing, you lose all maamad.

That’s the answer to OutOfTown’s question also – when we refer to the relationship the Rebbe Shlita has with talmidei chachomim and rabbonim, it’s not a shoveh beshoveh but a noisein and a mekabel.

Either way. This thread seems to have begun with a ridiculous attempt to say that when we in Lubavitch refer to certain people without titles, no disrespect is meant. Please.we all know that’s ridiculous.

Shichrur is Aramaic. The four leshoinois are loshon hakoidesh

Anyusername are you referring to mashgi lagoyim vaye’abdeim or ki yeshorim darchei Havayeh tzaddikim yelchu vom vechu’ yikoshlu bom? Either way, some nerve you have calling others uneducated when you just throw around musogim without knowing what you’re really talking about. The Rebbe ZT”L (edited) doesnt need or want an advocate like you. Shvaig shoin.

@anyusername, you are going to bring rayos from David Lichtenstein? Who writes in the introduction to his book that YitzchokAvinu was mistaken (Rl) in giving the brochos to Yaakov, and we all need to be more like Eisov?!? Lubavitch doesnt need raayos from people like him. Everybody knows the Rebbe is the Rebbe, and all the arguing is just Amoleik shebikirbom! No proofs needed!

Additionally, the Rebbe  himself showed that there is room to be mefakpeik mitzad hadin on the issue of shaving. See the very first holy letter in Igros Kodesh where He shows that there is room to disagree with the Tzemach Tzedek’s teshivah on the matter.

Just as each shevet had their own shaar and nusach hatefilloh, and for those who did not know their shevet there was a nusach hakoleil, which is the nusach of the Arizal as given to us by the Alter Rebbe, so too there is a derech hakoleil in Yiddishkeit which is appropriate for each and every Yid (even though a few yechidei seguloh might recognize their shoresh haneshomo and have a derech which is appropriate for them specifically, but not for others, these are few and far between). This derech is the derech of the Baal Shem Tov, as further elucidated by his primary talmid the Mezeritcher Maggid, and continuing through the doiros from Rabboiseinu Nesieinu until and including Kevod Kedushas Admor the Rebbe edited. This it is appropriate for each and every Yid to spend time studying and internalizing Chassidus Chabad, and being miskasher to the Nossi Hador, the Rebbe. Each Yid can do this while maintaining the minhogim and piskei halocho followed in his kreiz, as the Rebbe told many many people who came to Him from other kreizen, yet if he chooses he can also make an informed decision to adopt minhogei upiskei Chabad, as we see throughout the doiros that people chose to follow new kinhogim and paskened differently al pi klolei hapsak, ve’ein loi ledayon elo ma sheeinov roiois.

Except that the Arizal explains, based in Midrashim, that Moshiac ben Yosef’s demise is not a foregone conclusion.

I tried to respond but my posts won’t go through. I guess that’s this site’s version of a balanced discussion – letting you malign the kedoshei elyon and making it look as if we agree by blocking our responses.

RSo:”where is TT in all this”.

I posted a response, but I guess it didn’t pass moderation. I’m not sure why.

One point which I will try to get through here: you asked whether a Tanya may not be placed under a Sefer Torah, and were told of course it may, but from your response afterwards you seem to be talking about a Chumash, not a ST. The Rebbe would famously take Tanya’s from on top of Chumashim AND Chumashim from on top of Tanyas.

When people like Ezra Hakoifer think they will minimize who the Rebbe is to be more accepted by the misnagdim, you’d better believe we will call him out on it!

Shlucha: the Langeh Brief is a justification? Of what?
