Kasha
I dont have sources but not everybody holds this way and I asked a competent posek this shaila and he told me we may enter Mosques.
It is Mutar to Handle even not for burning purposes. Islam is not Avodah Zara and one may even enter a Mosque or Daven in one.
There are many who Mattir taking a brief shower as long as the intention is not to get the mikvah water off but some other intention like the mikvah floor is dirty…
Please note that just because you couldnt find a Halacha in the shulchon Aruch doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Did you check the Nosei Keilim as well as other Halachic sources?
It says in many Seforim that Tzaddikim are treated harshly and receive illnesses and other problems to be Mechaper for the dor. A Tzaddik of high caliber knows how to be mekabel punishments on himself so that they won’t happen to others. That’s one of the reasons many of the greatest Tzaddikim suffered greatly.

Let me start off by saying I dont advocate people using facebook, however there were Tzedakos that won a lot of money from Kohl’s grants. Maybe you can get ahold of all those people that signed up to vote for those charities and have them vote for you?

It is famous. Many Jewish as well as non Jewish self help authors quote it. 5 years is too long I prefer 5 weeks or 5 months. if something will be important for a year or 2 its a pretty big deal no? Its a lot to ask from someone not to get angry about something that will have such a lasting effect.

You are welcome.
This needs a Rov and a qualified marriage counselor.

Let me understand this your goal is only to get under 100?
One should respect that their Rov is only human and try not to bug him at crazy hours over silly shailos. My Rov told me some whacky shailos he got at 3 am that weren’t nogai for weeks into the future. Some people think everything is an emergency and its not fair to the Rov.
There’s nothing wrong with asking questions. However one must understand that as much as we can give answers we will NEVER and can NEVER understand Hashem because He is so beyond our understanding. Anything we ever do gain to understand of Him is what He has allowed us to know and understand and that will still only be like a droplet in comparison to the ocean.
Can you please rephrase that? Perhaps as a statement rather than a question

I think the best approach is giving the available answers but also mentioning at the end that in reality there are no questions and we should train ourselves to have Emunah that Hashem knows what he is doing. There are no questions on Hashem He is perfection. Its almost funny how people have questions on Hashem yet there is so many other things they don’t understand yet as well which they don’t ask.
Its like walking into the control room of the Penatagon and seeing hundreds of buttons and levers with different colors and asking a General oh you see that green one all the way overther, what does it do? He will likely say “oh so you know what all the other ones do that you are asking about this one?”
First of all, the truth is one shouldn’t ask this question. If we have proper Emunah in Hashem we won’t have ANY questions and will realize that as mere mortals we cants understand what Hashem does.
However one major reason many baffling things happen is due to gilgul neshama where neshamos need to come back and get a Tikun as Kapusta mentioned and this is a tikun for things they did in their previous existence.
Kapusta gave a very good answer.
Kapusta,
Most people are not Tzaddikim. That doesn’t mean they aren’t good people but as the Gemara says Beinonim.
There are many Jewish books for sale on Amazon as well as ebays half.com at reasonable prices. You may also find some decent prices for used Jewish books on abebooks.com or alibris.com. You can also try searching specific book titles in google shopping and see the websites that come up.
Good luck.

Rav Moshe Shmuel Shapiro – The Vilna Gaon’s Overflowing Cups
In the first pasuk of Emor it says twice to tell the Kohanim, Emor and V’Amarta. Rashi quotes the gemara in Yevamos that says the double language is, “L’Hazhir Gedolim Al HaKetanim”, to tell the adults to caution the children. How do Chazal see this from the fact that is says to tell them twice asks Rav Moshe Shmuel Shapiro.
He answers that the Dubno Magid once asked the Vilna Gaon what is the most effective way to influence children. The Vilna Gaon answered with a Mashal. He said to take a large cup and surround it with smaller cups. Then pour into the large cup and keep pouring until it spills over the top right into the little cups. To have children absorb the lessons, you must fill yourself with an overdose of whatever traits you want to teach them. They will become filled from the overflow.
The Kohanim were implored twice, to give them a double measure of Kedushas Kohen. The reason for this is obviously in order for it to spill over to the children.

They are Kosher under the OK.
Many of the same people who aren’t paying tuition have all the money in the world for fancy cars, cable tv, vacations, summer camp, summer homes, and other extravagances.

“The CI essentially said a man without a beard is ”dressing” like a woman, hence he would almost vomit.”
I think we need the source of where the CI said what he said. Lets not start reading into it and making up our own perushim of what he meant. There were a number of Gedolim and really great Jews who didnt have beards. It was the Litvish minhag not to have a beard so many great people didnt have beards until they became official Rabbis or Rosh Yeshivah.
Mazel Tov, you should be zoche Lehachnisam Bivriso Shel Avraham Avinu Bshaah Tovah Umitzlachas.
Wof and Mod-80:
Count me in I highly doubt he would vomit or even said that he would vomit.

If thats how women think about Tznius its a sad situation indeed. Thats seriously cutting corners. I think some women dont understand that slightly untznius is TOTALLY untznius! There really is no middle ground, its either Tznius or its not.

Im with you 100%. The anonymity of the internet allows people to say all kinds of ridiculous and make things up. I live in Brooklyn as well and have not noticed these girls congregating which leads me to believe that some people just have it in for women.
Astrix:
I know many choshuveh Ravs who dont have beards and many choshuveh baalei baatim who dont have beards. I also know of many people with beards who are total am haaratzim and worse…
Lets not judge people by what they look like.

I find that if you watch project inspire videos and listen to shiurim from rav leff, Krohn and others the time passes rather quickly. Its not supposed to be easy. We tend to forget that we are mourning. We are all mourners on Tisha Bav. I dont think anyone who just lost a loved one thinks oh I just wish the shivah would be over already so I can just get on with my life!
