You likely have a opposum problem not possum. The ones in America are opposums and different species than possums. Carry on.

I guess the idea is to start exposing them to the world in this way. In all seriousness you are so right. The pritzus in some of these places is pretty bad and its a bad idea. Not sure why we do it.

Puff puff pass?
Yussel and all similar charachters
Why dont you all call the Aguda offices and give them your number so the gedolim can personally call you whenever you feel that a statement is in order? I dont like being harsh but all you people who tell gedolim what to do all day should just get a life. Seriously. Sheesh.

There are groups within Orthodox or ultra Orthodox Judaism that are elitist and think they are better than everyone else and above the rules. I have been called goy (even though im clearly frum and wear a yarmulka and dress normally) on more than one occasion by these peoples ignorant children who were brainwashed to believe that anyone who doesnt dress exactly like them is not Jewish. I wont go on with my rant but there are groups within us who are exclusive and look down on everyone else.

Nanach has nothing to do with true Breslov. The nanach cult are a bunch of drug addicts who do aveiros and pass it off as breslov chassidus. Rabbi Nachman is not proud of them.
Its not a chidush that a kid whos parents pay full tuition will be treated better than a kid whos parents arent paying in full. Yeshivos today are a business. If you are a good customer you get special treatment. Its no wonder that the yeshivos today are failing at inculcating our youth with yiras shomayim.

One year in gehennom feels like an eternity. One moment probably does as well. Lets put it this way on earth theres a limit or threshold to how much pain you can take before you pass out or die. In gehennom you have no physical limitations so imagine that the pain can be moved up to many 1000000x of what can be tolerated here. No limitations no fainting no dieing just endless constant pain at the highest voltage. Scary to think about.
So they go to learn the proper hashkafa with regard to when to go to the kosel and when one should eat ice cream?

Many energy healers are actually ovdei avodah zarah. They use all kinds of ideas that relate to avodah zarah to get their energy going. Some chant to the avodah Zara and try to connect to it. You have to be extremely careful with this stuff because many are mamish avodah Zara.
Tell him how much you like him and all that. You’re a girl you should know how to do this stuff lol.
If you do leave Yeshiva plan well for it. Make sure you set up a daily chavrusa. Have a Rebbe you can call whenever you need to discuss an issue and have a Rav to call for halacha shailos that come up. Also make sure you have a chevra of good frum guys that you keep close to because it’s very easy to befriend the wrong people once you are in college and the business world. Also make it your business to always daven with minyan. That’s one of the things that keeps you shrark and once that goes well…. Your hashkafah and yiras shomayim better be solid or else you are in for trouble out there. I don’t know your age but if you are learning shrark at this time and are under 22 and don’t have to leave then don’t. If it can be pushed off push it off.
What can the shutdown accomplish other than cause a huge waste of hundreds of millions a day?

If the kids act properly in public that makes a Kiddush Hashem regardless of all the chillul Hashems they did in the past. The same person can make a chillul Hashem and Kiddush Hashem one second apart. Now as for the paid off comment you must be joking. You must be.

The people who do the kaparos centers all almost all oiver on tzaar balei chayyim. This year on a very hot day a few 1000 chickens died due to heat and dehydration in Monsey. Its a business that I won’t no part of. The people running these places do not take proper care of the chickens they pack the crates too tightlyand do other cruel things.
I heard a great vort from some Rav on Jrootradio he was saying how by the creation of the world everything is stated matter of fact with extreme brevity yet by the sin of Adam and kayin suddenly the Torah expands and goes into minute details. His point was that Hashem doesn’t want us to be busy with the maasei bereishis and all that. Its not for us if He wanted us to know more about it He would have revealed more. All we need to know is Bereishis bara Elokim es hashamayim vets haaretz. He also mentioned how the Ramban who was one of the greatest Risbonim said that he doesn’t know what tohu and vohu mean and what the rakia is. I just feel it’s vital to keep things in perspective and remember Hashem created the world however he created it and He doesn’t want us to be busy with this.
Didn’t read it but yes ito not a comfortable subject. However on the positive side we came back to get it right this time so it’s really a tremendous chessed from Hashem.
Ben Levi
Sad but true.
Well if you want daas Torah don’t read any of the Jewish magazines because they all have an agenda. You want guidance speak to your Rav attend inspiring shiurim and try to visit gedolim when you can. Instead of going to cancun for vacation maybe go to Eretz Yisroel instead and visit Rav Steinman Kannievsky and others and ask tthem any questions you have in hashkafah.
There are also mofsim storie from Rosh Yeshivah and great Litvish gedolim you just need to ask around. Call r paysach known Rav Fisher shelter or other famous story teller they will have hundreds for you.

What’s wrong with the Kiddush Hashem one that happens to still be an accurate definition of making a Kiddush Hashem even if they didn’t intend to make a Kiddush Hashem and just happened to behave that day?

I’m more concerned how to keep myself inspired i don’t want to lose the high.

All of Klal Yisroel is connected and we are one family. You are in the army so you will understand this term “you are a deserter.” You have a mission which is vital both to yourself which is your neshama and also vital to the Jewish people as a whole. You just left the front lines and nobody can replace you. Furthermore how can you do this to your future generations all your future children and grandchildren? How can you be so selfish and shortsighted? How can you rob them of their eternity?

Any adult from a frum home who goes off would be afraid to tell their parents for various reasons especially if they still want to be close to them. I don’t know what you mean.

I’m assuming that anyone on the Sanhedrin was a genius and brilliant people with great memories can learn things rather quickly even language. Theres a story where the Rogatchover gaon who lived a 100 or so years ago was so brilliant that he said about himself that he could learn Russian in an hour! He was a huge genius. So it’s not so hard to imagine that the Sanhedrin memorized that many languages. As for the method I have no clue. I doubt that it is brought down anywhere either but I assume they had a method that would cut the bittul torah to a minimum.

Aing davar omeid is a Gemara. I don’t have the source but it’s a well know Gemara obviously it doesn’t mean Hashem can’t stop you but if the thing you want to do is good He won’t stop you and if it’s bad He won’t stop you in most cases because there is bechira which Hashem doesn’t like to mess around with.
I was thinking that what was Hitler yemach shemos power? His power was an otherworldly intense ratzon to wipe us out. I think he would have immediately been stopped if there was a counterbalance of love by someone anyone for Jews. He was so consumed with his hatred. I think if we could have found a Jew or non Jew so consumed with ahavas Yisroel he would have had no power. I’m not chas veshalom minimizing the ahava that the Jews had for each other at that time however it is much harder to love than to hate. One has to work very hard to feel a strong love for a stranger even though he is Jewish.
I’m just saying an idea I thought of. I can’t prove it but I think it has truth to it.

I was going to say the same. Basically every thread known to mankind has been taken off topic some slightly some extremely.
And where are those transitional species?

I don’t get it. You mean if he was a criminal or did some horrible things to people you would still accept him? Why?

Yerushalmi Terumoth (ch. 1):
??? ???? ?? ???? ??? (????? ??): ???? ????? ?? – ????? – ??
Also, see Mesilat Yesharim (ch. 11) about the severity of this sin, where he brings this and other sources.
Found this on stack exchange.
I am not blaming anything on tznius all I’m saying is that looking at things you shouldn’t leads you to have shmutz in your head and it tends to come out of your mouth.

Its very important for a get to try and blend as much as possible and not look weird or stand out. Your Rabbi has your best interests in mind. Many people in the street have no clue what they are talking about one way or the other so be careful who’s advice you take. I know geirim who became Chassidish and thus dress Chassidish. I know geirim who are Yeshivish or not Chassidish and wear a hat and jacket. Either way the main point is to blend and become part of the Klal and part of the kehilla (congregation and synagogue) where you daven regularly. And if you don’t have a shul where you daven regularly go find one.

He wore a hat. Maybe not a Fedora but a hat that was commonly worn at that time. I’m a assuming it was black. Maybe your source knows better. What color was it? By the way nothing wrong with wearing a blue hat either. Nothing wrong with wearing a golf hat as long as it looks nice and is respectable. For example I don’t think davening in a baseball cap is respectable.
1. Who says everything on your list is actually good for you? We have a nice imagination and think what American Society tells us is good for us is truly good for us, but thankfully Hashem saves us from ourselves.
2. Who says work means that it’s not as good? Its the hard work that makes you enjoy the thing you worked for. Easy come easy go. If you work hard at your marriage you can withstand little annoyances and not blow things out of proportion and our learn to be giving and forgiving. I think it’s actually the work that gives the pleasure and creates the love. The reason why parents love their kids more than kids love their parents is because the parents gave heart and soul to these kids and put tons of blood sweat and tears into their upbringing. That hard work is what creates love and a strong relationship.

Improper speech is also a product of lack of tznius and pruztkeit. Its a type of looseness. Additionally it also says we were taken out of mitzrayim in the zchus of nashim tzidkaniyos and in our times as well the midrash says we will be redeemed in the zchus of nashim tzidkaniyos. By the way you can still love someone and hate their actions.

Davening is talking to Hashem. You live in Hashems back yard and can’t stand talking to him?!

It was always the style even by non Jews to wear long skirts often to the floor. Lack of modesty in dress was quite rare in the 17 and 1800s as well as the early years of the 1900s ever see the pictures of old times or even the beginning of the 20th century? There was no need to focus on that aspect of tznius because it wasn’t an issue. There may have been other issues like not covering hair by some parts of Klal Yisroel but I don’t think anyone ever wore a short skirt. It was probably illegal. I remember hearing that in the 50s if you showed too much skin you got a ticket so I’m guessing it used to be stricter back then. Either way I never came across this sefer lamenting the short skirts that the women were wearing. However there were other issues.
Remind me not to read these threads on an empty stomach.

Why does it matter if he is a cousin or stranger? And by the way there are stories where people who grew up as friends married each other later. You realize the childish stuff was just you both being kids. Once you are adults it’s very possible to have romantic feelings for each other especially because you know and like each other. Theres an old Klal and most non Jews (at least the men) will agree with this: Men and women can’t be “just friends.” Sorry but even if for some reason you can’t imagine him as anything more than a friend if he’s a healthy male and you are even moderately appealing romantically he will want more even if he keeps that only in his head and never acts on it. If he is married maybe there’s less room for concern that he will look at you that way but either way there is no hetter for opposite gender cousins to be chummy chummy. I’m not saying you can’t be friendly but it’s enough to chat for a few minutes. Shmoozing for a half hour or more is definitely out of line unless it’s an important and necessary discussion and not just small talk and chatting.
Popa
I assume most people mare with the intent to grow. Not stay the same or get worth. However when making a personal change that will affect your spouse I agree that it must be done with his or her permission.
Popa
Did you read my response to Torah?
Why has my comment not posted?
I don’t see any comment, but am looking for it. Please repost if it doesn’t come up soon.
1. I know people change. But deliberate changes that will affect the marriage must be discussed.
2. Its not controlling when both sides have to ask each other that’s called a relationship. No side will go ahead and do something drastic without discussing with the other first. Controlling is only when its one sided. You didn’t read my post carefully enough.
3. In a healthy relationship things are discussed and people ddon’t act rashly and make big decisions with disregard to the rest of the family. Yes I think in a healthy relationship you get permission from your spouse before making big changes. For example if the husband used to always be home at night to help out do home work with kids and what not and now he decides he wants to learn with a chavrusa every night during those hours it may not be the right thing to do and a wife has a right to say I’m a person too and I need your help in the house and without it I will collapse. Don’t you agree? Or do you think people can just do what they want and kill their marriages for Hashem (which He definitely doesn’t want in most cases)?
4. Betrayal is betrayal whether it’s deliberate or not. When someone becomes less observant usually it is a conscious decision. A man will consciously decide to stop going to minyan the woman will consciously decide she wants to start dressing differently or other changes. Humans make changes with thouht we aren’t robots. Yes one time by accident a woman can wear something too short. But ifa trend starts tthat’s a decision. Missing minyan once n a while can happen. Once it’s once a week or so it’s a trend. That’s no accident.

Congrats on getting a life lol. Good for you. You deserve to be happy.
Torah
Theres no beauty in a spouse becoming further from Hashem and then being stuck in a situation where you must tolerate this. I think it’s actually not only a betrayal of Hashem but a betrayal of your spouse because your spouse married someone who was looking to grow spiritually and here you went and did the reverse and are causing a rift in the marriage. I also think that if one member wants to be frummer and it won’t affect the marriage as a whole the other spouse has no say in the matter on the other hand if it will be a change that will affect the family as a unit and will affect your spouse you must discuss it and get his or her approval first.
I would tell you that your own growth must always come first and don’t get involved in any relationships that will be detrimental to your spiritual growth. Be a friend from a distance. Your yetzer Tov is your logic which is telling you STAY AWAY. You should know in general your yetzer Tov is logical and will give you some good advice usually very unforcefully and matter of fact advice that you may choose to ignore. The yetzer hora is emotional and he will twist you into knots and try to guilt you into doing things or use other types of ploys to get you to do stuff. But he is persistent. Tell him to shut up and go away.
