You shouldn’t advertise on Yeshivaworld that you watch movies especially the likes of les miserables which is quite filthy.

I hope the people who come to you for “psak” are aware of your shmiras eynayim standards of which you will find zero heter for.

I respectfully disagree on one point you mentioned. Imagine that yout went to see Eliyahu Hanavi and he tells you about a whole bunch of things that you will do (or choose to do) in the future. How does this take away your bechira? In the moment of that event you are choosing based on what you think and feel is a proper course of action. Someone telling you your future is just telling you what you will choose in the future. That doesn’t change your bechira because you are still you and you will still make the choices you make for the the reasons you make them. Capice?

I love how everyone pretends this is such a pertinent issue for them…I think those who are makpid on NOT being mevatel Torah the whole year (none of us) should worry about how to or if they should be mevatel it on Nittel. Everyone else should drink an ice cold glass of reality and stop pretending to be holier than thou.

just my hapence

Maybe its time we form such a league because there are many good guys single and married who are serious about their learning and also work. In fact it was only when I started working that I felt inspired to take my learning time more seriously. Its just human nature that when you have the whole day to do something it doesn’t become such a priority. I’m not saying there aren’t serious guys out there, but it is a minority to find guys who learn even 7 solid hours a day in beis medrash. If these guys ever made a cheshbon of how they actually spend their time I think there would be a lot more guys working…

I think the discrimination is usually in proportion to the level that the bt stands out as a bt. I think it is terrible to discriminate against innocent people but most bt dont help themselves by being so darn obvious. There should be a course that teaches them how to blend in.

I find it funny that people here are actually taking you seriously as though this list would make sense and be ok if you were a guy!!

Well all you can do is educate them to your best ability. Most parents don’t get it but one word from a parent is worth a 1000 from a Rebbe. What they see and hear you do has a 1000x the impact anything their Rebbe or Morah can say. If their parents have “loose” lips and say not nice things the kid will take after the parents in most cases. When kids get older and spend more time in yeshiva this may change but in the younger years most education happens in the home.

This shouldn’t happen in any Yeshivah and I won’t ask which yeshivah it was, however can it be that the driver overreacted? Kids are kids and they tend to be wild on the bus although usually more wild on the way home. Also why wasn’t there a “bus monitor” on the bus to help maintain decorum?

He’s delusional. He doesn’t have the talent to compete in that arena. He is no Mattisyahu. I don’t see his endgame. He is like all those tuna beigel kids who “think” they convincingly look and sound not chassidish but don’t realize how pathetic they come across. This is another example of what happens to a person when he isn’t connected to Torah and has no guidance. He needs an intervention and quickly before he goes too far and ruins his own career.

Rich gorgeous and let you do whatever you want.

Kidding! Although that would be nice 🙂 (Im gonna get flamed by a few girls here for this comment but oh well)

There’s a great book you should read called “i only want to get married once” by Chana Levitan. Its a top book that will help you figure yourself out and realize where you are holding and what is really important to you. Its a short book and easy to read. You will enjoy it.

I didn’t see anything about this in the Hamodia :-p

There’s therapy for internet addiction. If you have a problem with certain websites download Bluecoat k9 and put a block on those websites and have someone else hold the passwords. You will be protected that way and reclaim some of your sanity. That is if you truly want to change and be helped.

The Holocaust is very clearly an exception. Its not something that ever happened before and nobody imagined that someone would take over entire continents and kill all the Jews. This never happened before in history. In the past we got bounced from country to country within a close radius give or take. It never was an issue of switching continents and travelling so far away.

My next point is slightly controversial but I will say it anyways because its the emes. At least the concept is. There were many people advised not to go to the US due to the spiritual nisyonos. It is better to die al kiddush Hashem as a frum kosher yerei shomayim than live a long life as a Jew who threw it all away. I have relatives who came before the war. They are all totally not frum totally. And they came from strictly chassidish families. No Yiddishkiet left by them they all threw it all away. So maybe min Hashomayim Hashem knew that many of these people were not strong enough and therefore put it into the Rabbonims minds to advise them to stay.

I have an additional possible scenario and that is that at the time the shayla was asked maybe it was possible that there was no gezeirah yet on Hungary and for whatever reason Hashem decided to add Hungary into the mix at a later point.

However throughout our history it has always been the practice of those who want to do dvar Hashem to seek counsel by Tzaddikim. Baruch Hashem this still goes on today. I’m not saying every Rabbi is qualified in this respect but certainly the Gedolei Hador the ziknei hador are qualified in being asked advice in all matters. If they really don’t know they will say I don’t know. That’s also Gadlus.

You think we are stupid?

There is a spiritual koach that Hashem gives to certain Tzaddikim who are basically totally absorbed in Torah and Avodah that they can see or sense certain things that we cannot. There are many stories with the Steipler, the Baba Sali and others zatzal. These stories happened recently enough and they were told over by eye witnesses and the people it happened to. So you basically want to say that all these people are lying and that the brachos and havtachos that various Tzaddikim gave that came true is all made up or coincidence. YOU CALL YOURSELF RATIONAL?!

Yes gedolim are human they aren’t aliens but what makes them great is their determination and success in overcoming their natural human inclinations and limitations and physical drives to become masters of their free will.

English por favor?

I also miss Chanukah. Oy Chanukah Oy Chanukah…nevermind. I heard the best idea to get over post yomtov blues is to absorb yourself in the next upcoming yomtov by learning the halachos and inyanim about it.
