Torah613TorahParticipant
writersoul, first graduate espionage high school, then you can worry about shidduchim.
Torah613TorahParticipantwritersoul: We know. We read the inshidduchim serial story, where you outed yourself 🙂
Torah613TorahParticipantWhat are you trying to deter possums from doing?
October 8, 2013 12:58 am at 12:58 am in reply to: Is it right to suggest a shidduch for yourself? #977971Torah613TorahParticipantYes, it is right.
But you should be careful that you are primarily attracted to intrinsic qualities and not superficial qualities.
Torah613TorahParticipantAll the frum Jews in top law schools post on Yeshiva World. Make your own assessment of what this says about their frumkeit, top law schools, Yeshiva world posters, or YWN itself.
Torah613TorahParticipantOorah’s Rebbetzins program is amazing. They provide mentoring and guidance one on one.
Torah613TorahParticipantWhy is a troll any less deserving of a shidduch than any other poster on the CR?
Torah613TorahParticipantOnce, on a date with a bachur who is brilliant in halacha, the bartender put a cut lemon in our sodas. He asked them to make it again without the lemon.
September 30, 2013 11:44 pm at 11:44 pm in reply to: Telling parents about lifestyle changes #977338Torah613TorahParticipantwallflower: Thank you.
fkelly: I’m with Popa also.
squeak:
Tomer Devora says Hashem is Kind all of His creatures unconditionally, even when they sin, and is always waiting for our teshuva. (Otherwise we’d all die with our first sin, and we wouldn’t have any choices.)
Since Hashem is infinite it would seem that His Kindness is infinite, and even if the infinity of the sinners is less than the righteous, understanding what this means is beyond us. After all, Hashem let hitler y”sh live. It all goes back to ??? ???? ?? and ????? ?? ???? ???? ?? ????.
.
Anyway, there’s a mitzva d’oraysa ????? ??????, and Rashi says ?? ??? ???? / ???? ?? ???. And the Rambam says that too in Hilchos Daios.
And btw, you’re associating Xianity and Chassidus? You don’t think enough trolling goes on on this site?
September 30, 2013 11:23 pm at 11:23 pm in reply to: How long should someone stay in Beis Medrash #976633Torah613TorahParticipantFrom vasikin to tikkun chatzos.
Torah613TorahParticipantmdd: Are you asking because you don’t feel your wife dresses tzniusly enough?
Perhaps you can talk to her about it, and listen to her feelings, and empathize with her struggles and tell her you want to be the only one who sees her.
It would seem to be a lot more effective than “I’d like you to cover your shok, and tell your friends they should too, and if you don’t you are not following halacha and we don’t need to have sholom bayis anymore.”
Torah613TorahParticipantI am not sure what the point of this thread is.
If you have a problem with tznius vs shalom bayis – ask your Rav.
I assure you most women dress based on what their friends wear.
If you REALLY want to influence women – get married and try influencing your wife to change the way she dresses.
Once you’ve convinced your wife to change, a Herculean feat, her social network will have ripple effects, which you should not be noticing and most likely will not notice even if you try to pay attention. And I wish you much hatzlacha in this endeavor.
Torah613TorahParticipantIf I understand Popa, he is not saying that Hashem doesn’t care if we sin or not, but that Hashem loves us and has forbearance with us and wants us to do what is good for us no matter what, even if we make the wrong choices sometimes. This is implied in the 13 Middos HaRachamim.
In the kabbalistic sefer Tomer Devorah it describes Hashem’s complete Kindness and eternal forgiveness and tolerance, and how to emulate Hashem in these ways. The parts of this sefer that are somewhat understandable are very beautiful and it is well worth reading.
If we should act this way to all people, even more so we should treat other Jews, and those closest to us, our families, with loving guidance and tolerance and kindness regardless of their choices.
For example, suppose someone ch”v has an anorexic child. It is an aveira for that child to not eat. Does Hashem not love this child because they are doing an aveira? As the parent, do you hate the child and treat them as a sinner, or do you love them and try to help them?
You may need to force feed the child to get them back to normal and threaten them with the hospital, but we know that this is not a healthy or good solution. The child needs to eat out of love, for their own good, and the fear is a temporary measure at best.
A healthy body wants to eat, and itself is scared of not eating. And a healthy soul wants to do good things, and itself avoids and stays away from evil and temptations.
Similarly Hashem wants us to educate our children to be like ????? ?????? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??? ???? ???, and once you are serving out of love and not for the reward, because you are healthy and want to do good and have a loving relationship with Hashem, then of course, ???? ???? ???? ?????, you will avoid evil.
Torah613TorahParticipantEclipse: Did you use it? How long did it last? Which kind do you have?
Outsider: Thanks. Do you have experience with the different brands? Replacing them every 2-3 years sounds like a real headache.
Yatzmich: Thanks for the recommendation. How often do you use it?
Yentingyenta: Thank you! How often do you use it?
Torah613TorahParticipantThank you Popa.
Torah613TorahParticipantI learned in school that one is not supposed to play with games that use fake money on Shabbos or Yom Tov. Did anyone else hear of this?
September 23, 2013 12:37 am at 12:37 am in reply to: If your spouse did ________ you would________? #975919Torah613TorahParticipantThis wasn’t my most thought out post ever, but I did think of a supporting argument ex post facto. Because it says ???? ????? ?? ???? and not ??????. 🙂
Torah613TorahParticipantHappy Birthday, Syag! Ad meah v’esrim with all brachos and good things!
September 22, 2013 12:56 am at 12:56 am in reply to: If your spouse did ________ you would________? #975910Torah613TorahParticipantIf my spouse did anything, I would accept him.
Torah613TorahParticipantjewishfem: I do consider those words profanity, just a milder form. They’re still profanity and I personally don’t feel comfortable with them.
September 22, 2013 12:51 am at 12:51 am in reply to: Advertisements for a Web Filtering Service #975832Torah613TorahParticipantJewishfeminist, any decent filter can be set to allow women’s health information while blocking inappropriate content.
Torah613TorahParticipantcrgo: Networking and crowdsourcing are rather different.
September 17, 2013 1:19 pm at 1:19 pm in reply to: Tension based on spouse's change in tznius #975465Torah613TorahParticipantYour assumptions are the following:
1. People don’t change over time.
2. If they do want to change, they must plan it in advance and ask your permission first, and if you don’t approve, they can’t change.
3. If it is a religious change, and it’s to become frummer, and it won’t affect the marriage [impossible], then you have no say.
—-3a. But if it does affect the marriage, the other can reject the increase in frumness.
4. If it is a religious change, and it’s to become less frum, it’s always a [deliberate] betrayal of Hashem and their spouse.
#1 is unrealistic,
#2 is incredibly controlling and intolerant,
#3 is untrue,
and
#4 is dangerous.
Torah613TorahParticipantOOM: That was efficient. 🙂
Oomis: Wow!
Torah613TorahParticipantpopup: Avoiding your feelings and trying to ignore them or cover them up with other things in your life, only makes them come out in other ways. If you have a Rav, mentor, therapist, friend, anyone you can talk about it with non-judgmentally, that might help you feel better.
If you are truly upset about something specific, perhaps ask advice on how to tell the people who upset you about how you feel without being confrontational. People don’t generally mean to be hurtful, they just don’t realize how their actions impact others, and will generally feel bad if they realize how much it hurt you, even if they can’t do anything about it.
Torah613TorahParticipantYou do sound very frustrated, overwhelmed and depressed.
Did these decisions impact your everyday life, or your long-term goals?
Torah613TorahParticipantWhat exactly is the problem?
Torah613TorahParticipantI have always sung in the Sukkah. We’re the only sukkah on the block, and some hold it’s okay if you can’t identify individual voices.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable if there was a sukkah right nearby with men who could hear.
Torah613TorahParticipantDon’t know enough to make a decision yet, but they’re neither of them great candidates…
Torah613TorahParticipantI think my own kitchen is the best restaurant.
Just kidding! But a few details would definitely help us help you!
Torah613TorahParticipantHappy birthday Syag!
Torah613TorahParticipantI am more curious if there are good inspirational speakers who would be bad for a yeshiva bachur?
Torah613TorahParticipantI like our Succah. I do not know why you would wish for someone else’s.
September 16, 2013 2:37 pm at 2:37 pm in reply to: Tension based on spouse's change in tznius #975460Torah613TorahParticipantPeople do change over time, for better or worse. Part of the beauty of marriage is that you accept the person regardless of their changes, because you are now serving Hashem together.
Coming from ostensibly religious people, I am surprised at the attitude that if someone changes even slightly there is a possibility of dissolving the marriage. There are physical changes, there are emotional changes, and intellectual changes over time, is it so shocking that there will be spiritual changes too?
Torah613TorahParticipantI thought this would be about Purim.
September 15, 2013 11:57 pm at 11:57 pm in reply to: How did the Yidden spend Yom Kippur in the times of the 2nd Beis Hamikdash? #975094Torah613TorahParticipantThey didn’t have IVs.
Torah613TorahParticipantPopa posted perfectly.
Torah613TorahParticipantNot to minimize the severity of this issue, but if you are worrying about this, I can assure you you are going to Gan Eden eventually. 🙂
September 15, 2013 11:44 pm at 11:44 pm in reply to: What would you have done if the world had ended? #975357Torah613TorahParticipantLloyd’s of London will be loaded when they go…
Torah613TorahParticipantYou’re lucky you didn’t try to sleepwalk.
September 15, 2013 12:41 pm at 12:41 pm in reply to: Is it unethical to get telephone partners in two or more sources? #976218Torah613TorahParticipantI’m a Partner In Torah and encouraged my partner to get another person to learn with, since she has so many questions and BH is growing so well. No one person can provide you with everything you need, so I would say to go for it!
Also, start looking for a Rabbi.
Torah613TorahParticipantDon’t base your observance on the pride or shame you feel when you compare it to someone else’s observance. Base your observance on what Judaism means to you. Once you have a focus, you can look to the actions of other believers to help keep to it.
Well said.
Torah613TorahParticipantHappy to see you got a life!
I love Sukkos too!
Torah613TorahParticipantTL;DR, sounds like a question for a Rabbi you like.
Or a troll.
I’m not sure which.
September 15, 2013 12:35 pm at 12:35 pm in reply to: Advertisements for a Web Filtering Service #975809Torah613TorahParticipantAsh, thank you for making excellent points.
Torah613TorahParticipantTake a break in the middle?
Torah613TorahParticipantWhat Asifa? Can I come?
Torah613TorahParticipantCompletely assur, I don’t know why you are even bothering to ask.
Seriously, it all depends on what you are talking about, and why.
Torah613TorahParticipantDo you think it is better than Kitchenaid?
Torah613TorahParticipantTznius of course.
No, Sholom Bayis.
No, Tznius.
No, Sholom Bayis.
CYLOR
