    “this geula is not just for Lubavitchers by Lubavitch, but here for the average joe.”

    CS: Do you mean, by this, that the average Joe is on a lower level than Lubavitchers? (But even so, they’ll still get the geula.)

    Otherwise, why did you find it necessary to point out that non-Lubavitchers will get the geula?

    CS:

    As you openly admit, above, that you would consider it an illegitimate and invalid position if any other Yid held that their Rebbe or Rov or Rosh Yeshiva (whether currently among the living or not) is Moshiach, why then are you upset or disappointed or angry when others consider who you believe to be Moshiach to be an illegitimate and invalid position?

    You have four full years to let out your hate on Trump.

    No need to let it out all at once.

    Take it one day at a time. That’ll way you can split it up 365×4.

    Do you consider another Yid who believes that the Bobover Rebbe is Moshiach or that Rav Shach is Moshiach or that Rav Malkiel Kotler is Moshiach, to be as legitimate and valid a position as a Lubavitcher’s belief that the Lubavitch Rebbe is Moshiach?

    John Kennedy and Bill Clinton (especially Clinton the rapist) were much worse. Hopefully anyone here would have voted for Richard Nixon, George H. W. Bush and Bob Dole, if you were eligible to vote in those elections. And not have voted for Hillary the rapist enabler and defender.

    B”H the Venezuala-style political persecution, lawfare and witch hunt came crashing down on the heads of the evil Democrats who attempted to use the Justice system for their political benefit. With the American People wisely giving them the biggest potch in political history with the amazing historic greatest comeback in American political history of President Donald J. Trump, an Oheiv Yisroel Par Excellence who clearly has the Ribono Shel Olam’s support, being re-elected for the first time in over 150 years in a non-consecutive term, only the second time this happened in American history.

    This second Trump Administration will be the most powerful second presidential administration in American political history, with President Trump having had an extra four year interlude to fully prepare all the things he will do in his second administration.

    He’s essentially taken over as soon as the election was over, even before Biden was taken out by his old age political operatives, with world leaders over the last month plus already dealing with President Trump instead of with the irrelevant Biden.

    G-d Bless America!

    Neville: You shouldn’t assume just because “people use it” that it is therefore okay for us to use the yearly numbering system. (Forget about the AD/CE question altogether.)

    Many frum Yidden will *not* use the years counting from the Christian Avoda Zora. (Even if it is inaccurate by a few years, that’s what it tries to honor by counting from.)

    Schnitzel: It would be better for you to disregard the so-called year count of 2024/2025 and let January 1 be more meaningful, than for you to give any credence to the yearly numbering system of 2024/2025, which was setup to count the years since the Christian Avoda Zora leader they worship, but disregard the date of January 1 — which is far far less problematic than the year count.

    The reason for *all* anti-semitism, whether Christian, Muslim or left-wing anti-semitism is very clear. It is because we are in galus. And until we leave golus with Moshiach, it will continue.

    That being said, Christian and European anti-semitism has been far far worse and much much much more violent and spilled far far far more Jewish blood than Muslim or Arabic anti-semitism, by a very very long-shot.

    The numbers do not lie.

    Whereas Jews were constantly facing Crusades, burning of the Talmud, blood libels, black death scapegoating, pograms, Tach V’Tat, numerous expulsions (England, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, etc.), Inquisitions, Dreyfus and most recently, and notoriously, the Holocaust of 6 million, the Jews in the Arabic and Muslim lands, by comparison (and that is key) were living mostly peacefully and safely despite sporadic exceptions.

    Regarding iOS, specifically, I recall reading that it’s possible to effectively lock it up without any filter at all, using its internal password/PIN functionality, by either giving the code only to someone other than the user or by splitting half the password with someone else.

    Dorah: If the relationship between the first Yishuv and the local Arabs hadn’t been interrupted by the Zionists starting with the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and continuing their agitation to take control of Palestine ever after, the relationship between the Jews and Arabs could have continued as it was until then, until now.

    In OC in the Igros. Besides 90:28 see also 1:15, 2:27, 3:7, 4:68 and 4:91. And Mishna Brura 90:28. Mishna Brurah 90:29 says you can miss minyan if you’ll lose money otherwise. The Emek Brocha (Birchos Kriyas Shema 1) suggests allowing the possibility of going on a vacation if that’ll mean missing minyan. Halichos Shlomo (ch. 5 note 25 pg 66) citing Tefillah Kehilchaso 8:23 and Ahavas Chesed ch. 1 says you can miss minyan if necessary to welcome guests. Halichos Shlomo 5:17 says if you normally daven vasikin you should do so even if you wont have a minyan then. Rama 90:18, Mishna Brurah 90:56, Piskei Teshuvot 90:23 talk about learning full time without stopping to go to minyan. The son of the Chafetz Chaim writes about his father that when writing the Mishna Brurah he would go ten hours at a time learning without eating or even stopping for mincha. Mishna Brurah 90:56 says if giving a shiur will result in no minyan then that is fine. Halichos Shlomo 5:16 says even if missing learning with your chavrusa it is better to miss minyan.

    Eli,

    Why not further engage with New Hampshire AutoCAP to have them force Mcgee Toyota to honor their promised 200 mile delivery (i.e. to Westchester or Monsey) *immediately*, as you’ve paid them for the vehicle. Telling you to wait months for delivery after payment is a breach of contract on their part.

    In the anxious and violent year after the Oct. 7 attacks, enough Jews, including the liberal and non-religious sub-demographics,, may have recalibrated their own notions of identity, and of what being Jewish required of them as democratic political actors, to turn much of South Brooklyn deep red, flip places like Aventura, and transform Jewish neighborhoods into some of the only real purple territory in urban America.

    The neighborhood in New York City where Democratic turnout dropped the most in 2024 in terms of percentage change was Borough Park, the Orthodox Jewish enclave in Brooklyn that voted overwhelmingly for President Trump. While support for President Trump increased from about 22,200 votes in 2020 to 22,700 in 2024, turnout for the Democratic candidate dropped 46 percent, from about 7,600 votes in 2020 to about 4,100 in 2024.
