    I honestly was that bored bochur… about 20 years ago ๐Ÿ˜‰
    I hope I’m not the only guy working at a filtered computer in an office who would appreciate a way to see the news without being “triggered” by attractive women, unnecessary hock, and guys who don’t like the word “oilam”.
    Hatzlochoh u’brochoh.

    Acc, to R’ A.I.
    A term that fits this description is โ€œglibโ€. A glib person is often smooth-talking and persuasive, but their words lack depth and substance. They have a knack for making their speech sound impressive, even if it doesnโ€™t convey much meaningful information.

    I appreciate the answers; I personally do try davening for non-frum hostages, as well as all Jews in Israel, as that seems to be in public opinion the right thing to do. But I do want to make sure I’m doing the right thing. I know the gemarah says ve’ohavta lreiyacha komocha – “Rei’acha” means “oiseh maaseh amcha”; those who do the deeds of the Jewish nation. Doesn’t sound like uncoditional love for anyone with Jewish blood. I assume the same applies to “lo saamoid al dam reiacha”.
    I’m not coming to differentiate between people with different levels of observance; even amei ha’aretz are “malei mitzvos k’rimon” in my eyes. But for those who don’t believe in Torah & mitzvos at all – as unfortunately is the case for most secular Jews – can anyone give me a credible source that they’re still supposed to be in my hearts & prayers?

    Good tirutzim, thank you.
    Though what if the ืจื•ืฆื— sneaks out of the Ir Miklat 25 years later, the ื’ื•ืืœ ื”ื“ื still needs to shlep him to Beis Din before killing him?
    I suppose the underlying question is, how does anyone know if a ืจื•ื“ืฃ has a legitimate reason to kill or not, or does it not make a difference? Maybe the ืจื•ื“ืฃ is actually chasing another ืจื•ื“ืฃ?

    “Thank You” on the Hooleh album has the lyrics “smile shining” repeated in the chorus; that’s what popped into my head from reading your description.
    Hatzlochoh!
