The Rabbonim have spoken in the past many times about not making violent protests. At this point it has become clear already from violent incidents that have happened in the last few years by groups called sicko-rikim and other vigilante groups that they choose to do what they want and answer only to themselves. These people are treif kanoyim who pretend that they act to defend what is right. Anyone with seichel and some Torah knowledge knows that these people are evil. They can’t be stopped within the community without starting a civil war. I suggest all you big talkers who think you know it all to keep it down. The Rabbanim can’t stop them without putting their lives at risk. These people have no problem beating up a Rav. They can only be stopped by the police.

Ha. Not sure if you know but just like a man is commanded not to seclude himself with a woman, women are also obligated to not be in seclusion with a man. Hilchos yichud apply to everyone.

The best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. You should go spend some time with chassidim and try talking to them in yiddish and ask them to correct you when you get something wrong.

“mine will speak 4 languages by 17 months, be toilet trained by 5 months. But will be scared of sippy cups.”

And will be able to troll by 4 months.

Moshiach is supposed to arrive before the year 6000. That’s a maximum deadline. There are sources that say based on Sanhedrin 97a that the world will be destroyed year 6000 and remain fallow until 7000 when Hashem will then create a new world. However I don’t think everyone agrees and if i remember correctly some hold that from 6000 or before until 7000 will be olam Habah (I think this is the Rambam’s opinion but don’t quote me because I’m not sure.)

Stop running away from your problems. What you are doing is avoidance. You need to face your pain and fear before you can move on with your life. As Goq said you should go seek a therapist.

Why is someone willing to buy us all free cars? Did Bill Gates finally realize how important we coffee room posters are?

Everything is meant to be but if you are seeing lots of troubles in your life on a regular basis you should go speak to a tzaddik. There may be something going on.

The next time you have to walk on the street alone on a busy avenue I recommend you to try the following. Look down on the floor the whole time and basically keep your eyesight within no more than about 8 feet in front of you. Don’t pick your head up to look around. No looking at people or any stores just mind the floor. Tell me how you do. Now we have to try this with a yetzer pushing us to constantly look. I guarantee you the challenge for men is harder. Way harder. This area is the hardest area in avodas Hashem and if one vanquishes his yetzer in this area he gets the title tzaddik (Yosef hatzadik never even looked at potifars wife). I’m not saying women don’t have a challenge to dress tzniusdig. But it’s not within the same universe of difficulty. There isn’t much I can say on this site but if you want to know the struggles of men go to guard your eyes and read the forums. You seriously have no clue how challenging it is for a man to keep himself holy in this generation. Again I’m not knocking women’s challenges but to even think there’s any comparison in the difficulty of the challenge is purely ludicrous.

Firstly although everyone makes it sound like there’s a crisis it’s mostly hype. There’s plenty of boys out there. I think that if you want to be matzliach most importantly you must Daven

a lot and really firmly put your betachon in Hashem. Also you really should know what you want. Don’t date a 5 year learner if you don’t want more than 3…whatever it is don’t go on a date before you know what you want. Forget about the peer pressure and what everyone else tells you to want. I personally know of girls who “thought” they wanted the long term learning thing only to find that after 3 or so years they are not so into it and now feel stuck with a husband who considers work a dirty word. I can’t stress this enough, you will be living with the guy, not your parents or your “smart” friends who will tell you what you want. Look into yourself and figure out what you really need to be happy and then contact a shadchan.

“What is funny about animals dying on the street?

Animals dying in the street is funny?

That it doesn’t matter at all if animals die in the street. Of course they die in the street–they also live in the street! Where would you want them to live? In a house? They don’t live in houses–they’re animals!

lololol

animals “dying on the street” is not simply a description of the location of their death. It is also indicative of their lifestyle and cause of death. It means that the animal did not find a place with a family or even a shelter, and instead scavenged scraps on the street, was likely disease-ridden, and almost certainly died of starvation.

lolol

Animals don’t need a home! They don’t need a human family! They are supposed to eat scraps. That is what they naturally do!

Did you hear about the poor deer? It lived in the forest without even a tent, and then it was murdered by a wolf and eaten alive! What a pity–lololol”

I guess you didnt read last weeks parsha about the godros for the tzon and how about Yakov Avinu building succos for his animals?

America is a medinah shel chessed. At this point there still is much freedom in this country to enjoy and its better for Jews here than anywhere else. We have much to be thankful for and appreciative of. Read some books about the Holocaust and you will really appreciate the meaning of freedom to live as a Jew.

There were no chilonim in the midbar. Any “chilonim” or rather people who rebelled against Hashem died in mageifos.

Why not? Maybe if you are a Rav or a big talmud chacham you may feel it more appropriate to fill a cup and not lean over and drink from the fountain. Just make sure it works before making a brocha.

I heard a pshat the memaatin besimcha means we lower our simcha in physical matters and rather start putting a bigger focus on simcha shel mitzvah and getting joy from spiritual pursuits. One is certainly not meant to mope around and be a kill joy. Use your seichel.

“my sister in law told me that a kabbalist told her she is a tzadekes. I asked her how much did you pay him. She said $50.”

I wonder what he would have said had she not given him a penny.

You seriously have talent. I think you should start writing (and get paid for it) for a frum publication if you are so inclined and have the time. I’m sure your articles and poems would be a hit.
