“Iz altz in ordenung” here? What’s going on here? Is this the coffee room?
(My daughter needs one too!)
You can tell what a person is from what he /she writes, talks about….
Fascinating to read posts and watch the common ideologies (is that the word?) , character of each personality follow. As in Gemara lingo – לשיטתו.
Skripka:
I have no idea. Seems like someone once (! ONCE?!?) got upset about something…
I’ve had my share… (how do you say “nisht arayin gain” in English)
Who cares? ואתם הדבקים.. חיים כולכם היום. We’re B”H alive and cooking. Serving our creator with joy and Geshmak. עד מאה ושמונים!
Kuvult: HELP!!! Cool your engines. He happens to be right!!!
Tisha B’av is a day of mourning. Period. Chazal instituted that day for mourning over our bais hamikdash. Our lost sublime status. We are all mourners over it.
No. It’s not a day of reflection, tshuva etc. Just in mourning.Mourners R”L don’t go to shiurim, watch shows, listen to speakers… There’s a time for that.
That fact that we’ve lost sight of the essence of this unique day does not make it any less. Certainly don’t mock anyone who DOES try to retain something of it.
Someone once gave a beautiful analogy.. imagine R”L there’s an accident Lo Aleinu.. people are coming to the Shiva house to be Menachem the Availim. In comes the Department of Transportation heads, the Mayor, the city municipality etc. and start darshening about traffic safety… How to improve safety, crossings.. Where to put up lights… They’re doing something “constructive”… how to better the situation… Right? NO!!! There’s a time and place for everything. Availim are not interested in this stuff now… Their focus is on one this only – their lost loved one. So too us. So to say we are in mourning over our lost Bais Hamikdash, our elevated status, our close connection to the Shechina. That is, and should be our focus. We are not, and should not be interested in anything else. There’s another time and place for reflection, tshuva. How to hold hands with Achdus and rebuild…
oh… about the young women… are you perhaps Jewish? Get to know us. We’re from HaShem’s Am Kadosh. We try to be holy by not gazing at women… Maybe a pasuk about it too. Any Jewish (actually even not) man is affected. And avoiding it is what elevates us to be Kadosh.
Hey… This is beginning to look fun!!! All old timers coming back??
Skripka… you had another user name? (I though I was the only one…)
and Dr. Pepper, was I responsible for anything? I don’t recall… if yes I sincerely apologize… please be Mochel
Talkin’ t’ me ?!?
Talkin’ t’ me?!?
WOW!
This place wasn’t really meant for personal people bashing… Oish!
There’s a way, I believe, an edele way to get through to people (that’s us, I suppose)
I’m in the process of changing my mind. Most of the screws are off… And, of course, the missing screw…
.. And how did they know a bullzoder is going to knock down a shul on 12th Avenue, before making it a landmark?
Just to interrupt a moment..
KUDOS TO THE MOD…
Who has to read every single line of posts…
😵💫

GOSH!!!
Frogette is not going to let me on to the Coffee Room! I may get ideas ח”ו.
AAQ:
It would appear to my humblekite that someone filled with Torah wisdom, someone whose very being is suffused with חכמת אלוקים need not evaluate himself via secular tests and barometers (thermometers, speedometers, altimeters) to weigh in on a Torah related subject.
If he was once מכוין to a Tosfes’ Kasha or a Shach, that should suffice!
DaMoshe
Please, a bit of respect, deference to a Giant who has lit the world aflame with a fire and life of Jewishness in all aspects.
No, he was חס ושלום not a bumbling wild rabble rouser as your “sources” would have it. No, he DID NOT INVENT ANYTHING NEW.
Before you develop your personal belief, why don’t you educate yourself by reading up on real stuff…I find it weird that I should be writing in defense, as if R”L my humblekite should “weigh in”.
I may address each sludge you’ve flung, at a different time, when I have time (gosh – did you read that? I’M BUSY NOWDAYS!!!) I just couldn’t let such an affront to such a giant go unchecked. You don’t get to attack, vilify, denigrate the leader and master of the MAJORITY OF FRUM JEWS.
שמר פתחי פיך
AAQ: Here I am, your humble little i
DaMoshe:
You’re being extremely disrespectful towards the giant of the world. There’s an expression used in gemarah, I should be using here, I’ll spear you.
I already wrote there was nothing “NEW” about his movement. Read what I wrote, it’s written in plain easy English. He put YiddishKite into Torah, Avodah, Yiras Shomaim. He put a dagash into Davening with feeling, doing Mitzvos with intent and understanding. Nothing he did is not found in Gemarah, Medrash etc. HE INVENTED NOTHING.
True, the early opposers were wary of a new movement, ever since the advent of Shabsi Tzvi. They were greatly worried, however they were greatly mistaken. Time would tell – boy were they mistaken. As they say – without litvaks there would be no Torah (very untrue for today’s situation – Torah grows by leaps and bounds in Chassidishe courts in all areas התמדה, עמקות, לומדות, בקיאות, כמות, איכות), without Chassidim there would be no Yid.
You don’t have to believe about the Baal Shem Tov meeting up with Achiya, don’t ever חס ושלום attribute a “new torah” or ” a new Judaism” to him.
And while where at it may little me add, he did in fact have a mesorah, he was the last in line from the Baalei Shem, most of German descend
I shudder to think what you wrote, that caring Mod had to edit your post.
DaMoshe: Chassidus was not initiated by a “Dream”. Neither is it “a new form of Judaism” ר”ל. A renewed focus, cocentration into the heart and soul of Avodas HaShem, שמחה של מצוה etc. Nothing at all new. Straight from the pages of our vast Torah. מיט א ברען!
OH YEAH!!!!
Happy times are coming!!!
Just remembered this one (from a life ago!!!)
Testing… Testing… 1. 2. 3.

I missed that last word! WB ARWSF.
ZK here! (yeah, still here, nish inagantzen here)
Spill the beans… what WAS your Screen Name?
There’s a two volume book with all his songs, I saw one in Eretz Yisroel one time
He started out with records. Many of them.
Beg your pardon..
And to answer my question:
Torah is compared to three liquids wine, water and oil. Compared to wine in the sense that the more your drink the more thirsty you become – מגריר גריר. A person who learns a drop of Torah may feel satiated, but when he really puts himself to it, he feels the urge to go on and on. מגריר גריר. That’s why you’re “allowed” to learn erev Shavuos! Just like drinking wine Erev Pesach, a lot is allowed, a bit not.
CA, Thank you for that! No, I didn’t know you like me as a friend!
And yes, I hear you, loud and clear!
Am I mistaken? I thought Nevuah (“MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM…”) stopped many a year ago. Just for that purpose, so that no one sane should be getting up one day (after a cup of corrupted human psychological mind morning coffee) and claim to have heard a “MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM”.
That’s why we paid no heed to “that man”.
Someone who keeps posting messages “heard directly from HASHEM”, well, if it’s not Nevua, than it must be…
מיום שחרב בית המקדש ניטלה נבואה מן הנביאים וניתנה…OOPS… serious discussion .. I’m outa here
ubiquitin:
Yeah, I’m pretty sure. It was in the 80’s. And after every else left. Very unofficial, low-key, modest at around two in the morning.
The thing started as a “Geshmake” idea, some Eretz Yisroel chassidim did after the music in Stolin way back…
Way back those days (40+) no one had any festivities besides Stolin and maybe some other very few. They danced in Stolin for 3 – 4 hours straight, until about 12 – 1 and then went home. The Eretz Yisroel Yungeleit and Bochurim wanted a taste of Meron, so after everyone left, they lit a fire in a trash can and sang the night away…
After a few years of doing it that way they made it more official. And gave it more focus.
And the rest is history.
WHOA!!!
I am missing… Anyone found type BXGDSP screws?!?
REFUAH SHLEIMA!!!
Rubashkin will arrange his release!
