Wolf: Safety issues for a girl picking up a guy (and not a girl) = tznius issues. That’s the cause. Teachers teach high schol girls thought, not common sense (saftey).
Also, you don’t see the difference between giving tzedaka and helping a guy get dressed?? You know it’s not all equal
Out Of The Mailbag – To YW Editor (Please Read Entire Article)
Although this woman only had “minor” injuries and spent three days in the hospital, still some food for thought. I think there were more stories here on YWN.
If her husband would be a Kohen, would she have to divorce?
Could this have caused major psychological problems?
Could this have caused major sholem bayis problems, due to a feeling of disgust?
How old is he? I feel over fifteen is not worthwhile and can be dangerous. There have been some very sad stories with hitchhikers and givers. They’ve been here on YWN
RB: But they could find out, if they’d like to. Their address they certanly have. Also, here the content is limited, due moderation. Huge difference.
geshmakebachur3: Getting even? Please cut it out. I know it’s not, but it could look as if it’s almost an obsession. Seems like others have some growing-up and improvement to do as well!
yogi: You addressed a side point to my valid points. You may not believe it, therefore the basis for this thread may be faulty.
B”H you have a wonderful mother. We don’t have to degrade others to feel good about ourselves. I find that the way I avoid being jealous of others is threefold.
1. I try not to think about others, needlessly.
2. I try to genually be happy for other people and what they have (only when I’m forced to think about what they have)
3. Most important and hardest, try to see the tremendeous blessings in what have and we have to be thankful for.
yogi: to your answers. A. Halochos of accepting slander are applicable to the smartest and wisest.
B. If a person doesn’t mind slandering someone (when halocho doesn’t perrmit it) in orfer to feel “good”, do you think the minor fact that the story is embelished or false would deter her from feeling “good”? Especially when she’s making you feel bad and causing a fight.
C. Reffer to a
True
DY: It didn’t sound demeaning to me. To paraphrase HKB”H to Yaakov, “kach onim h’umlollos?”
yogibooboo: How do you know what she said behind your back? We are not permited to believe these things, and they must be vied as motzie shem ra.
are the ones I like!
Good for you! Is disliking and “cant stand”ing other Jews permissible? How do we know which is worse?
kapusta:
Refuah Shelaima! We’re glad you’re apart of the CR. I’ve thought twice about posting certain things, to your credit
metrodriver: Hashem opened a special hole to accept King Menashes teshuvah
yogibooboo:
King Soloman taught us “Al tocheach letz, pen yisnoeko. Emor l’chochom, v”yehoveko” Do not rebuke a letz, since he will hate you[for it]. Tell a wise person, and he will love you.
Shelo says, its one person! Don’t rebuke a person by telling them, or thinking they are a letz (i.e. irresponsible, goyta raising kids, obnoxious, etc etc etc), they’ll hate you for it. Tell them and recognize they’re a wise person (only wise people will choose to heed your advice anyhow!), rebuke them this way, and they’ll love you.
I tried posting the number. Look up Torah tapes in Boro Park. Same number
RB: They may need us, but we need them to pay for the site, the editor and writers
“Kol Haneshama tehalel Koh”, al kol neshima uneshima, tehalel koh
Jewishness: The worm line was uncalled for
Parshas Vayeizei. Beraishis, 30, pasuk 14
see the miforshim there about the fertility part
The flowers Reuvain brought were helpful for fertility (Spurnu)
We got thank them. They are part of how were on here
I don’t believe the pass-up line was said
#1: I hope you’re not ccommiting the worst type of onaah here.
#2: The Gemora answers he should do tzorchei rabim. An interesting story recently (printed in ish l’reiahu) about a guy who got stuck. A guy drove by and fixed his car. Had all the tools etc. He was a repentent mehanic doing tzorchei rabim to return.
#3: a story with R. Zemel of Volozin. I don’t remember the details. Bottom line was, from the Gra, if one really really does teshuvah and all he can to repay, it will be placed in the other persons heart to forgive.
Can anyone verify or site a reliable source for the “pass up” line?
cherrybim: You mised it. If a person is truly truly on that level, his responsibility for his family is taken care of. Fact is though, our Torah sages generally used doctors. They didn’t take that “yirei Hashem” title for themselves
Feif Un: That’s an amazing story. Thanks for sharing. It really really humbles…
Each person must act according to his level of bitachon. Although the Ramban says, that a true yorei Hashem (dont remember the exact words) doesent go to a doctor, the Steipler shouted at a baal bitachon for not going to a doctor, insisting he must go.
R. Y. Berkowitz, in his new book “the 6 constant Mitzvos” makes the point that we don’t work on bitachon. Rather we work on coming closer to Hashem. Bitachon is a natural outgrowth of being close to Hashem… To skip the coming closer to Hashem part will not make our bitachon stronger.
A huge huge baal bitachon should probably not purchase
yunger mann: I answered your question. That Rabbi is the rabbi of the CR.
Do you know him?
s2021: Please, post. You make the place exciting.
I don’t know, all I remember is Torah UMesorah having a raffle, in order to sponsor life insurance for Rabbeim. Sounds like they felt Rabbeim should have
whocares: I don’t remember the Shulch Oruch writing “mechuyav”. Do you have the location
sm29: That’s appliable to all sorts of learners, including the ones who go bored and become behavioral problems (and worse), if they aren’t challenged
I would change the last word..”because they help define a persons present.
I agree with you’re conclusion, but not with the analogies or the way it was reached. That, i take issue with
How does a “madreiga” not mean “higher”. In a certain area, it seems, they are closer to Hashem. That’s doesn’t negate our opperunities in other areas,
shlishi: According to several Poskim, yes. ( For men) It’s some chasidim who are meikal, which the previous poster may have thought the Steipler was included.
The eaely Zionist leaders were decendents of the erev rav (This was mentioned by Rav Elchonon, the C”C, and the Gra). Why were they deservent of their positions, since “‘lechtaich acharei bamidbar, beretz lo zeruah”, they were paid up now. {from Noam Hamusar, Rabbi N. Wachtfogel, transcribed by Are. Teitelbaum}
That’s all that comes to mind now. You may want to search revach.net. Letters from the Steipler were published in a sefer called “kreina d’agresa”. Anything in there would help you.
whocares: Please devine chasidic Jew. Thank you.
On Shabbos, he would only go to a cold mikva. His son, Reb Chaim shelita reports going with him, and turning around since the mikva had been warmed.
always here: Pretty interesting. Don’t leave though.
but don’t worry, we won’t tell her which threads have all that juicy info you told us about your daughter. <jk>
yaff80: What a sensitive response! Nice.
It just so happens that Meir Applebaum of Torah tapes has made about 100 more difficult shidduchim, and has always refused pay. There are others as well.
(This doesn’t detract from the wonderful shadchonim who do it for the Mitzvah, but take their fair pay)
cherybim: It’s a minahag mentioned by the Rama! So you may call it what you wish, but see the Rama and all he says
MDG: You take the award for the most considerate comment on this thread. So how would you lable this comment, MO, Yeshivish, Na-nach or Koo-koo?
Please define better and spirtual
IS: I think that sitting on actual shatnez is d’rabbonnon. He was probably not mechuav to get up, but he did, despite his tiredness. About the FSU, a shatnez checker showed me a army hat (like a NY police hat) that had a sheet of linen through the top.
AH: You got it right. Not to worry though, he’s got many more active names. At least on the other names he’s a little more respectful. Sometimes he can be a very nice and righteous person
HeLeiVi: Got somthing to say? Please explain
BY: I was not accusing you. I don’t think you should feel bad, (nor anything else either). I think you did the right thing.
bombmaniac: I got a little lost in your post. What is the conclusion you’re trying to support?
BY: “Kol hamerachem al ha’achzorim, sofo l’hisachzer al harachmonim”. Don’t feel haughty or vindicitive about your post, but I don’t know why you should regret it.
HaLeiVi:
Truth,
They are not actually spiritually higher
What’s your basis for this. They are indeed on higher spiritual level, in certain aspects. again, even a mamzer, who is most certainly on lower spiritual level, can obtain a loftier spiritual level, if he becomes a talmid chochom. That does not change the kohens loftier spiritual level in other areas.
He told him to be certain not to allow opportunities to slip by, for they can benefit him and his decedents forever.
