I don’t understand any of your comment.
Even though they were at har sinai they still did the egel and they still tested Hashem 10 times in the midbar and asked “hayesh Hashem bikirbeinu ” by the mei merivah.
The nesayon of avodah zara was extremely powerful in previous generatioons and very smart and great people fell in.
Truthfully every aveira that is done bemeizid (loshon hora or tayvos looking at what we shouldn’t. ..) is due to a lack of emunah because if you believed strongly enough you wouldn’t dare and would never want to do something that is against the will of Hashem. Emunah is the hardest challenge and it is the challenge of the dor before moshiach hence ig is our challenge. The idea of emunah is that it has to be real it has go be felt. If you technically believe there’s a Hashem but don’t feel duty bound to His word then what is the emunah worth?
We are supposed to yearn for moshiach now when Hashems presence is not yet obvious. Once Moshiach has arrived obviously Hashem will be obvious and there will be no more need to yearn for moshiach because he is already here! But right now in this generation there are many who don’t yearn and don’t believe moshiach will come. Its very scary but I heard people say things like eh he’s never coming chas veshalom or other crazy comments.
Wow finally a new topic that was never discussed here!

There’s a great app called zmanim by jay gindin just search the word zmanim it should be first that shows up. It has the most downloads. I use this app daily for all zmanim. Its a top program.
The books generally written by the list of authors you posted.
Are these books kosher as in no lewd scenes?

You do realize that there is always a delay for modding so your responses don’t post right away. So what is accomplished by your answering on odd minutes?

Say you are worried about her ruchniyus level and dont think she is for you because she seems very into tayvos achilah and isnt so concerned about venishmartem meod lnafshoseichem. There now she is the shallow one and you sound all holy and spiritual.

Yeah basically its inappropriate to name a person Torah. How about naming a boy Taryag? Cool name no?

No, the person who took the picture and spread it is.

The Maharal and others explain that bechira only comes into play in a situation where Hashem is testing you to choose between good and bad. It is very likely that the decision to accept her had no bechira involved and it was a clinical decision based on their criteria for acceptance into their seminary.

You don’t want to check this with your spouse first?
I think she was hung. I think that was what they did to anyone who went against the king like bigsan and seresh.

I would suggest and recommend that you choose a name from no longer living ancestor of yours or the name of a person that you knew who was special.
Does anyone here know how Seilish is spelled in English? (I was once at the Holocaust museum and I saw that the city called Seilish is spelled differently in English and on the maps.)
I do think that schools catering to a more kollel type of family has every right to be choosy and I think they should not let in boys from homes that don’t adhere to the hashkafos of the yeshivah. Most boys that got into trouble over the years came from making bad friends and these friends are boys that watch movies in their house and surf the net without filters. Ghe bad influences in every class come from more modern liberal chinuch homes and thats a fact. I think schools have every right to be picky about these issues. However its wrong to discriminate against kids based upon their intelligence. That’s a whole other discussion though.

Unlesz you are reviewing a daf you know well it is impossible to Daven and also learn a daf in those few moments that you have while waiting for the baal tefillah. P. S. You may not learn during chazaras hashatz. Its not called chazaras hashas.

I’m surprised nobody said this: we mention things like the holocaust in Tachanun every Monday and Thursday when we say Habeit mishamayim urei ki hayinu laag vakeles bagoyim nechshavnu katzon latevach yuval laharog uleabed, ulimaka ulicherpa… uvechal zos shimcha lo shachachnu. If someone knows what they are saying in Davening and pays attention then he thinks about the Holocaust at least twice a week in Shacharis! Between that and Tishaa Baav there is no further need to have a yom hashoah. However I do agree with those who want to institute Holocaust studies as a part of the curriculum. I do think that as time goes by and the survivors keep dwindling Holocaust awareness fades.

A book or sefer is a great start but it will only help you so much. Emunah requires thought and reflection. Think about all the good things you have in your life and try to be aware of the daily chassadim Hashem does for you. Try to see the Hashgacha Pratis in your life.
The way to really connect with Hashem and build real emunah though is through Tefillah. Work on your Davening and talk to Hashem like its just the 2 of you.
I would certainly recommend Rav Millers books. Many of my Rabbeim have recommended his book and although I never read through any of his books from cover to cover, I have read bits and pieces over the years. Additionally, I have heard or read many things brought down from him and they really open your eyes to proper Torah Hashkafah.

You may be in deep water for making a joke out of chad gadya. The chida and others speak very harshly about this inyan.

So you talk to Lakewood boys out of a dating environment? Doesn’t sound kosher to me.

I don’t think that anyone says Eliyahu comes but rather that we hope that he will be there to herald the coming of moshiach as we read in this weeks haftorah. I think its a misunderstanding.

When it comes to mitzvos all of a sudden certain people are concerned about “getting sick” I’m sure you never overeat, eat too quickly or eat fattening or very rich foods that can possibly get you sick. I never heard of anyone getting sick from eating a kezayis matzah. You quickly chew it up and swallow it. 2 minutes is plenty of time. Especially if you are quite hungry as most people are when they get to Motzi Matzah.
Oh btw a kezayis is a little more than a 1/4 of a hand matzah. Unless you are really young or really old or ill you should have no issue chewing it and swallowing it in 2 minutes. If you really have a problem you should aim for under 3 minutes. If even that is difficult there are poskim that say you have up to 4 minutes but ideally one should do it in 2. The reason for all the stringencies is because its a Torah mitzvoh not a derabannan.

“He is a very real person and who are you to criticize what you don’t understand!”
Correct, really goyish! He takes all his stuff from lady gaga who is a really low person and his videos are styled after hers which means you know that he watched them and idolizes her. He also sings non Jewish songs, he raps like a goy and dances in a very unJewish way. In my opinion hes nobodys hero. There are many people who do the wrong things that can entertain people and make them happy, that in NO way makes it muttar at all. Making people happy by being a goy? Is that where we stand in this generation? That to make people happy you have to act like a goy and copy them?
Veltz
If you watched all his music videos you would see that he is no longer kosher entertainment especially for the chassidish community. Maybe for the MO its ok because they have groups like the maccabeats which do similar things to what Lipa does. The real issue is that Lipa is a disenfranchised chassid who is gradually modernizing and rebelling against his upbringing. He is a person who needs guidance and isn’t getting any. He thinks he can make his own shul and be a Rabbi and be his own man and live by his whims. He doesn’t get the basics of Judaism and wants to play by his own rules.
