He probably made it up to get good names. If he would make a thread looking for names stam, there wouldn’t be as much following.

Dizzy likes chocolate-covered pickles, and that doesn’t sound so bad to me (I’ve never tried it). But I wouldn’t have it with ketchup.

I like what Haleivi is saying and I do agree that people should keep their opinion of the lubavitvcher rebbe being moshiach mostly to themselves, but what Avira said at the end is not correct.
The rebbe, first of all, has published teachings that fill more than 300 volumes (!). He set the basis and planted the seed for thousands of shluchim, and many more to come. He made tens of thousands of Baalei Teshuvah, set up hundreds of schools, and worked to spread Torah and Frum Yidden to the Arbah Kanfos Ha’aretz.
After the halocaust, the jewish world was becoming worse by the day. People were coming to America, only to go off the derech, they was getting proper jewish eductions (not everyone was in lakewood, in fact there were very little frum yidden in lakewood at the time), and everything would of collapsed.
Enter: the lubavitcher rebbe. Starting from his Nesius on Yud Shevat, he was pushing and calling for Yeshivos, batei midrashim & batei kenesios to be open. He never stopped, until Hakadosh Baruch Hu decided that the Yidden no longer deserved to have him.
I will not put down any other tzadikim or gedolim, but if anyone knows how much the lubavitcher rebbe did then you kind of know that he was on the top 3.

I figured, but my point was that I have unsuccessfully searched for a camera in that price range of at least normal quality, and turned up empty-handed. I don’t know why they need to be $100 at least to be good quality. That’s just the way the economy (or whatever business-thing it is) works.

“Which derech is the “real” derech, and is that a dumb question.”
That will cause a HUGE uproar and controversy from everyone. You’ll probably not have an agreement on there. Not so sure it is a good Idea. Look at some of the big controversial topics, and that only has to do with community in the frum world. Imagine the whole matzav.

I made a doc with the list as a checklist. I never understood why Sleeping in a Sukkah was pinned? Who decided that? The moderator?

Do reform give Bris Milas? According to Halachah? Are they foresure yidden?
The ones who started it were nebachdike yidden (who were reshaim, they’re still nebach) and by today’s generation all are intermarried you don’t know if they (and they’re children) are jewish or not.
ober chochom was prob talking about frum yidden. I agree mostly with what he was saying.

It’s because of Inflation. Start saving your pennies now! In 100 years they may become more valuable than the dollar because of their rareness! 😉

My thought is that something like the halocaust, most yidden did not know of all the anti-semetic thigns that were happening. People didn’t speak up or interfere. I’m not Chas V’shalom saying that such a terrible thing would happen again, but it reminds us to keep in mind that the worlds not perfect, and there haters of klal yisrael who all they want to do is destroy and kill yidden. We should be aware of these.

I want to make things clear: The Rebbe was one of (if not the) the most biggest and chashuvah tzaddikim in his generation. You are just too IGNORANT and don’t know half a page of tanya so you listen to anything some greasy bachurim hock to you about in your coffee room in your yeshiva. If you would just become a bit more knowledgable, look a little more for the truth, you’ll find out how ignorant you have been.
The Rebbe on Sukkos cat-napped. Meaning, he didn’t GO to sleep. He may have ended up falling asleep for a short while, less than 20 minutes, which according to halachah is considered a nap. And have you every heard of Yaakov Avinu? He learned in Yeshivas Shem V’ever for 20 years, and he ‘didn’t sleep’. Say your same ta’ane to Yaakov Avinu, and say that Chazal lies Chas V’shalom! Yaakov Avinu didn’t go to sleep, but he slept small naps.

I suggest you learn more about the Rebbe and his tzidkus and gadlus from authentic sources and then talk. You know for a fact that you are just ignorant.

edited, although not quite as much as it should have been…

And rightwriter is right %100.
Moshiach would have been here already if we had achdus. We need to remember that we are all yidden, sons of Hashem. We are all brothers. אחינו כל בית ישראל. We must unite, for the sake of everyone. We all know that being split apart is bad for both sides, so let’s remember that we are all sons of the same father, and that is Avinu Malkeinu, our father in heaven.

These are the CNN poll results:

(CNN) One year out from the 2022 midterm elections, 58% of Americans say President Joe Biden hasn’t paid enough attention to the nation’s most important problems, as a majority disapproves of the way he’s handling his job as President, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.

More than a third of Americans call the economy the most pressing problem facing the country (36%). Among the group that sees it that way, 72% say Biden hasn’t been attentive to the right issues. That dynamic is reversed among the smaller 20% who consider the coronavirus pandemic the nation’s top problem: 79% in that subset say Biden has had the right priorities, while 21% not.
All told, 48% of adults approve of the way Biden is handling the job while 52% disapprove. Intensity within those ratings breaks sharply against the President. The share saying they strongly approve of Biden’s performance has dropped to just 15%, down from 34% in April.

I think this Ober CHochomel is right.
