Katanhaboring: As a practical matter what puny apikorus mind would deem a Rav rational or irrational unless the consensus of Rabonim made such a decision? And if there was such a pathetic little arrogant mind it should quickly do teshuvah and not put it’s neshama at risk!
Oh, and my name is not Binyamin no matter how many times you write it, Katanhador!In NY State it used to be voluntary. Recently they made it mandatory as I found out when my son’s Yeshiva called me. I told them he received enough vaccinations in his life so just send me the religious exemption form and so they did. Now I just have to fill it out and email it back but I’m too busy typing important comments in the YWN Coffee Room!
Wolf; Why do you call yourself an apikorus? Do you wear red shoes or something?😉
On galus: Soul is not mentioned in the Torah?! What about, “Vayipach be’apav NISHMAS chaim”???
I spelled ameratzus phonetically as it is colloquially pronounced.
In any case my name is not and never has been Binyamin!
Come on it’s cold out there get busy knitting those afghans, your einiklach are cold!Could have fooled me! So what’s with the lashon nekaiva of dor”ah” ? Stam ameratzus?
RebYidd: Katanhaborer is not being serious, as usual she erroneously thinks my name is Binyamin. So instead of sitting on her rocking chair and knitting afghans for her einiklach she fantasizes about naming her imaginary parakeet in my supposed honor!
KatanHadorah: “If we want to be machmir on naming children with only “Jewish” names than one should only use a name that appears in the Torah or the Neviim.”
Actually, I believe that is the shita of Rav Chaim Shlita, a real Gadol Hador. Though I believe most Rabonim, Rebbes don’t seem to agree with him.Slominer; The answer to your question is that there is a small percentage of the population (1 or 2%) that has a very strong Parotid gland that nourishes the teeth better than the other 98%.
I think he’s Meydad Tasa’s long lost cousin!☺
Your dawg! Oh, just give him a dreidel shaped dog biscuit!
DY; I believe the lashon of the Brisker Rav after reading the Rebbe’s first Maamar, Basi Legani was “Der mentch red zich ayn, az er iz Moshiach”
Sechel; Just curious, if Lubavicher chadorim don’t have limudei chol, where did you get such an excellent vocabulary and writing skills?
Chabad Shlucha; You totally misunderstood the poster who mentioned the story of the Lubavicher putting on Tefillin late. He was just responding to the opening post of that thread regarding who people refer to as chasidim. His daughter responded to his response by saying ” no it wasn’t a chasid, it was a Lubavicher” He then commented that if you told that to a Lubavicher it would be highly insulting as they are of course chasidim! He wasn’t encouraging anyone to actually do that purposely to insult them.
Put down the gun; I was just responding to an earlier post where it was mentioned. I was trying to show why he has no shaychis to the current discussion.
There is a vort that I heard which is attributed to either the Sfas Emes of Ger ztl or the Ahavas Yisroel of Viznitz ztl on the posuk ” B’achris hayomim ho’emes nederes” which should be told to all Lubavichers and anyone else with a hashkafa superiority complex.
“Yeder Tzadik bakumt a giluy fun himmel az zayn derech is di richtige derech, a kluger Tzadik farshteit az yeder Tzadik bakumt di zelbe giluy” ! Every Tzadik receives a revelation from shomayim that his path is the correct path, a wise Tzadik understands that every Tzadik receives the same revelation!DaasYochid; re your earlier post that “So the Rebbe declared himself Moshiach on day one”
You have an excellent point there. When the Brisker Rav zt”l was shown that maamar Bosi Legani, he said “Der mench red zich ayn az er iz Moshiach”SMF63; Shabsai Tzvi openly declared or accepted the declaration of Nosson of Azah that he was Moshiach. He was initially accepted by wide swaths of klal Yisroel. When he later openly was over isurei kares and then converted to Islam it was clear to all that he was a moshiach sheker. There exists until this day in Turkey a group called the Donmeh who still believe in him. Because of certain secret rites they engage in, they are pesulei kahal and are lost to klal Yisroel.
This assumption that you have to have your wisdom teeth extracted is false, especially if they are not impacted. Hashem did not create us with any vestigial organs! Do your own research. I had mine (impacted) removed as I was unaware of other options at that time. I only had local anesthesia but had only 2 done at a time, first one side then the other. This allows you to eat on the other side while recuperating. The post procedure pain was such that it took a year for me to have the other side done! I assume the poster above who described the screaming was being facetious. If that was true that was gross malpractice. My oral surgeon was suprised that I even felt a pressure when he did the extraction.
I remember years ago one time they had some orange juice on the table and I didn’t want to get heartburn so I asked for some water. The girl herself went to get me some which actually made a nice impression. As it turned out she wasn’t my bashert anyway.
Wijnstokken; A true coffee snob would use Kona beans from Hawaii at $43 a lb!
CT; How many of the 20 hours are spent commenting in the YWN coffee room?
By the way, you are over simulating your adrenal glands with all that caffeine. I’ve read that heavy caffeine consumption has deleterious long term effects on the adrenals.
What about the jitters? How do you stay calm pumped with all that caffeine?I’m sure the atmosphere at Yekkishe weddings was a lot more restrained than what is commonplace at our Simchos. I’m sure they must have had a mechitza for the dancing. Rav Breuer is not around now to see our current weddings, we don’t know what he would say now. We have to rely on the Rabonim of our generation and I haven’t seen anyone quoting them in favor of mixed seating for singles or couples. Unfortunately many married women dress more provocatively than the singles; long and or attractive wigs, high heels, tightly fitted/short/striking clothing. These halachos restricting kalus rosh etc. between genders are clearly spelled out in Shulchan Aruch Even Haezer and are not modern day chumros.
Joseph; Your suspicion is correct. My father who is in his upper eighties amv”s, told me that until the hippies in the sixties started using amplifiers the music at chasunos was unamplified! Apparently even without brain-jarring ear splitting “noise” the Chuppos V’Kiddushin were still valid!!
RebYidd; Are you saying a guest at a goyishe wedding would call the police to complain that the music is too loud? If so what can the police so about it if it’s not disturbing the neighbors?
770Chabad; Does anyone force them to be frum?
Chabadgal; So how would you define Shlichus?
Messengers? To do what? Which Mitzvah?Yytz; What are the Chavakuk types?
Gefilte; your words imply someone in Kollel is not a practicing Ben Torah. You imply that that can only be achieved by leaving Kollel!
Disclaimer: I myself have never been in a Kollel.Perhaps your father could speak to his Rabbi to clarify.
fnt: “Kabbalisticly, there are those that say that “timtum” may occur regardless”
I believe it is halachicaly, I think it’s the Rosh or another rishon who holds that there is timtum halev even when it’s mutar shelo kderech achila.
Oh; our neighbors the Feinschmeckers, such wonderful people! Our other neighbors the Feunstermachers are also great!
Abba_S; Neither, it’s in Amerikani.

Im part of a regular orthodox community that has just taken in a family that fled this cult. It would take a whole book to describe the cruelty this cult did to this family just of the ones that we are dealing with. If their was a beis din today, the leaders and there are a few, would be chayav misa.

Well I guess this thread calls for me to promulgate the “official” parking/driving rules for NYC and any similar congested area.
1. It is forbidden to pull out of a parking space into oncoming traffic irregardless if said traffic is seemingly ceaseless as you are thereby “cutting off” other vehicles. You must remain parked for eternity!
2. If you violated rule #1 and pulled out in defiance of common decency and you now arrived at your destination, it is strictly forbidden to parallel park as your will be blocking traffic and will be amply rewarded with a cantankerous cacophony of blaring horns.
3. When driving on a two way street you can never make a left turn as you will be blocking traffic. You must only make right turns even if you will never arrive at your destination.
4. When driving on a highway it is forbidden to change lanes even if you will miss your exit since you will be “cutting off” other vehicles again.
5. When driving on the highway it is forbidden to drive in the left lane unless you maintain a minimum speed of 90 mph. Anything less and you will be impeding the flow of traffic and you will be brighted and/or pushed out of the lane.
Happy Driving/Parking
Please add any missing rules.
We can see from this year’s election that it clearly was.
Without it we wouldn’t be this close to electing a volcanic tempered witch!
Neville was that naggia or narghila?!
As I see it we will have a choice in November between an egomaniacal loose cannon multi-billionaire and an evil corrupt volcanic witch!
Cherry, he obviously meant some dancing from the simcha of kabolas htorah in addition to a hartzig lively davening. As opposed to a tired mumbled one. I would suggest a Yeshivishe or Chasidishe minyan. I don’t live in Flatbush but I’m sure there are plenty.
