    Torah

    “Why they did not teach that you can’t bring non-kosher food to a Jewish person in HS, in between Hilchos Shabbos, Tznius, and basar v’chalav, I do not know.”

    Bimchilas kevodecha, in Yeshiva highschool and elementary (im a boy) they taught us numerous times that on Shabbos one should be careful when crossing to always cross when its your light because if not you may cause a not (yet) frum Jew to have to stop for you and then when he accelerates again he is mechallel shabbos because of you. Im sure you heard this in school as a kid, and you should have been able to extrapolate that all “lifnei iver (lo sitein michshol) is assur.

    Dont blame your school that you missed the boat. No offense I know its harsh please forgive me.

    Torah613Torah

    Im not a baki on Gematriyah, but what I do know is that there are a number of different ways that the kabbalistic traditions have to do gematriyah and any one of those ways are all valid in kabbalah. Is one better than the other? I don’t know, but they are all valid if its a valid form of gematria. But yes it is very common that mem will be 4.

    Reduced value (in Hebrew: mispar katan, modulus 9 in mathematical terminology):

    Each letter is reduced to a figure of one digit. For example, in this reckoning, alef equals 1, yud equals 10, kuf equals 100) would all have a numerical value of 1; beit equals 2, kaf equals 20, and reish equals 200 would all have a numerical value of 2, and so on. Thus, the letters have only nine equivalents, rather than twenty-two.

    The only people who I have seen who have gotten really drunk and made a kiddush Hashem are certain Rabbonim and Tzaddikim. If you think you are a Tzaddik then by all means DONT DRINK because we will find out what a tzaddik you are.

    Torah

    There are many different forms of calculation used in gematriah. One of the forms of gematria, termed the reduced value system, is based on the decimal system, where every letter of ten and above reduces to one digit, its numerical lowest common denominator. The fact that mathematics itself is based on the decimal system of ten is of course extremely important. The number ten is highly symbolic and significant in Torah and appears in virtually all manifestations of Jewish tradition.

    Usually the terms are used becaused thats what the Torah calls them and the Torah uses loshon nekiyah so saying Toeivah is a cleaner word than saying homosexual for example.

    “Should we forbid lighting the Menorah?”

    No we should forbid people from being stupid and careless and doing things in a way that can bring them harm. Nobody is saying that a bachur cant have a glass of wine at a Purim seuda, but the idea of the boys going collecting and drinking tons of booze which is no mitzvah anyways and getting stoned out of their keilim and rachmana litzlon ending up in hospitals has got to stop.

    Because on Purim you have Rov of the Bachurim getting drunk and quite a few end up in hospitals from overdoing it.

    I can’t believe your obsession with correcting others. You already envision what others would say in particular situations and how it would be wrong. Can I get personal? I think you have a critical nature. No healthy male likes being criticized and put down by their spouse so if you want to find a good husband you need to work on this area. You will have zero shalom bayis if you intend to correct your husband on a regular basis. Especially over inconsequential things like his imperfect grammar! Soul searching and change is in order. You can of course ignore me because Im just some guy online who knows nothing.

    It is a resemblance of idol worship because you tend to just focus on how amazing the person is and cut Hashem out of the picture, because the more you focus on Hashem the less you would ever idolize anybody. I actually dont know the Halacha but hashkafically it looks bad.

    Theres no heter for the kallah to come into the mens section period! All it causes is that the boys look at her and of course at her many friends that want to be kallahs and think they belong by the mens section. It also leads to the boys dancing to show off to the girls as well as shmiras eynayim issues and hirhurim.
