Menachem Shmei:
I seem to recall that CS has posted on this forum (and I’ve seen similar comments by other Lubavitchers elsewhere, in case I’m misremembering regarding CS), people who were born after the Lubavitcher Rebbe was niftar, saying that had some sort of big/serious shaila and they (somehow) asked the Rebbe what to do, and the Rebbe answered him/her to do X, Y and Z.
That’s what I’m trying to understand.
CS: I don’t quite understand if you have a shaila of, say, should I marry this person, or which Yeshiva should I send my son to, or how should I resolve a fight with my neighbor, or should I dedicate my life to Torah exclusively or should I also take a job, or is this particular job offer the proper hashkafa and tznius (and should I accept it), or how should I enforce tznius standards in my family, etc.
How does the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt’l answer those questions for you when you ask him shailas similar to the above examples.
Maybe Yeshivos ban electric scooters.
Many Yeshivos ban all electric scooters.
CS:
How do you communicate with your Rebbe? How does the Lubavitcher Rebbe answer your personal questions and advise you on how to conduct yourself on very specific personal issues and questions you have on what to do?

“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:
Do you have any response to my follow up question (or not)?
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.
Can I give you kvittelech?
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?
The Internet and its anonymous amaratzim has become the go-to place for answers regarding chinuch?
SR: People *do* avoid the hour for making a Chupa.
Based on the secular system of counting hours/time or based on the Torah system of counting hours/time?
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!
Daas, I need your new address in Canada.
Mods, please move this thread to category DECAFFEINATED. Thank you
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.)
Reb Eliezer: The thread is probably not in the category “Decaffeinated Coffee”, so you don’t see it on the main page.
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.
B”H, it’s always a pleasure meeting a fellow Jewish Supremacist who isn’t afraid to point out the fact that we are incomparably far better than them.
Dr Pepper: I’m holding out for squeak to come out of his cave on the Julian nittel.
Soon it’ll be Zos Chanukah and we will, once again, be celebrating our own modern day Zos Chanukah miracle of the pidyon shvuyim release of Reb Shalom Mordechai.
You’re writing it yourself?
Unless I’m mistaken, I think OpenDNS can easily be evaded by any user switching to 8.8.8.8 (or similar).
Chaim: It was mentioned above that there doesn’t exist any effective free filter. That being the case, it would seem impossible to provide something for free if it doesn’t exist.
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.
L95: Rav Schach *never* said anyone who isn’t in learning should join the Israeli army. He never said anything remotely close to advocating for *anyone* to enlist.
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.
ubiq: Thank you. (I forgot that fact.)
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.
*You get what you pay for. The only decent ones cost money.”
Are there any that only entail a one time cost, with no subscription fee?
If not, which has the lowest subscription fee, that is effective?
In chutz l’aaretz doesn’t the change occur on Dec. 5 (instead of Dec. 4) on a secular leap year? 2024 is a leap year.
Are there any free filters that are effective for Windows, Android and/or iOS?
DaMoshe: Would you object to a Shul who didn’t permit someone to come in wearing a bathing suit and a bathing robe?
Coming in without a hat and jacket is also disrespectful.
The change is merely psychological.
DaMoshe: Rav Chaim explicitly said to daven with a hat and jacket b’yechidus if you won’t have the hat and jacket at the minyan.
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.
AAQ: Would you suggest a holy mission to appoint a Shliach in both Cairo and Amman?
We can establish exciting Jewish communities in these Arab cities, as they have peace agreements with the State of Israel.
Rav Moshe in 90:28 says it’s permissible to daven b’yechidus at times.
Trump isn’t 100 times better than the Democrats on Israel, he’s 100,000 times better. He’s even far better than other Republicans on Israel, and almost any Republican is better than almost any Democrat on Israel.
