Yabia OmerParticipant
My point is that there is a Jewish world. Not a Torah world. It’s not an elite club among Yidden. Everyone has a chelek. There’s no us vs them. Tangentially, the Israeli Chariedi parties are making a mockery of Yiddishkeit.
Yabia OmerParticipantYou just gave me a an “8 minute Daf” of this whole thread. Shkoyach.
Yabia OmerParticipantWhat does all this have to do with my OP?
Yabia OmerParticipantCorrect DaMoshe.
My comment has nothing to do with YU or other institutional issues. It’s an general comment. Every Jew, even an unaffiliated Jew who isn’t observant has a chelek in the Torah. The Torah does not belong to any specific “world”. But I do think that the Haskalah was a major traumatizing even which caused european Jewry to divide people into camps, such as those in the “Torah world” and those outside of it. However there has never been a “Torah world” and there never will be. The Torah is Morasha to all of Kehilas Yaakov. What I am saying is first grade level stuff. Not a chiddush
Yabia OmerParticipantIs this what is important for the Jewish people in 2022?
Yabia OmerParticipantSo should Sfardim wear Fez hats and white robes?
Yabia OmerParticipantR Elya Brudny
Yabia OmerParticipantThe rav of the Troll Yeshiva is #1
Yabia OmerParticipantAhava veachva is Egyptian. Netivot is Moroccan. SLC is Lebanese. Etc
Yabia OmerParticipantI think it has a significant SY community
July 10, 2022 9:12 am at 9:12 am in reply to: A Generational Change in Jewish Naming Conventions #2104748Yabia OmerParticipantI would actually say that a big generational trend is the ascendency of Israel names.
Yabia OmerParticipantNeo Orthodoxy (according to your definition) is a VERY bad thing. Did you know that up until maybe 60 years ago only a few groups kept Rabbeinu Tam? It’s a fact.
Anyway conventional wisdom would say that the way to protect Yiddishkeit is to be more strict but it’s quite the opposite. The middle of the road was the conventional Yiddishkeit for most Yidden .
Yabia OmerParticipantWork remotely from EY!
Yabia OmerParticipantI would probably go to the time when the Mishnah and Beis Hamikdash overlapped. Like Hillel and Shammai.
June 28, 2022 1:03 pm at 1:03 pm in reply to: Chaveirim, Yidden, and Lomdei Toirah, be malveh me your Oznayim #2101055Yabia OmerParticipantHis mother tongue was Arabic!
Not sure what you mean by my critiques.
Also we should all “idolize” (ie. look up to) the Rambam. He was Gadol haGedolim.
June 24, 2022 5:58 pm at 5:58 pm in reply to: Chaveirim, Yidden, and Lomdei Toirah, be malveh me your Oznayim #2100146Yabia OmerParticipantI think Briskers should speak the native tongue of their esteemed Rambam.
June 24, 2022 8:00 am at 8:00 am in reply to: Chaveirim, Yidden, and Lomdei Toirah, be malveh me your Oznayim #2099912Yabia OmerParticipantAt this point just speak Hebrew. For example, instead of lachen i am not maskim, just say lachen ani lo maskim. You’re half way there!
Yabia OmerParticipantIsraeli style: breeds independent, resourceful, happy kids.
American: breeds fearful, entitled, dependent kids. Plus American parents are too over protective, anxious etc.Yabia OmerParticipantIsn’t it Gaiva to think that one knows who is and isn’t a Gadol? Who are we to assess? Who is anybody?
Yabia OmerParticipantWho decides who is and isn’t s Gadol?
Yabia OmerParticipantUJM is my Gadol.
June 17, 2022 11:39 am at 11:39 am in reply to: is Yeshiva system making talmiday chachamim? or stifling them? #2097937Yabia OmerParticipantWho says that the Lithuanian approach is appropriate bichlal? I think it’s appropriate for Yechidim but as a mass system, not at all. But the Litvish derech got a lot of branding and marketing and that’s why it’s popular. It’s a fact and it’s time to call a spade a spade.
June 17, 2022 12:45 am at 12:45 am in reply to: is Yeshiva system making talmiday chachamim? or stifling them? #2097821Yabia OmerParticipantI believe the original bracha was “Al divrei Torah”
June 16, 2022 11:17 am at 11:17 am in reply to: is Yeshiva system making talmiday chachamim? or stifling them? #2097527Yabia OmerParticipantI agree with OP. No excuse. The entire Shas should be completed WITH Poskim.
Yabia OmerParticipantSeriously it would be Gun Control, inflation and, honestly, infrastructure. This country is crumbling.
Yabia OmerParticipant1. Wearing velvet on Bekeshe/Frock etc.
2. Beshow vs. Dating
3. Plastic vs. china platesYabia OmerParticipantWant or not, these thousands of men are in dereliction of duty. They are not standing by their Kesuba obligation.
Yabia OmerParticipantIs this the most important issue facing Klal Yisroel in 2022?
But as an aside, I always liked the candlelighting announcement on the radio in NYC. They would end with Good Shabbos and Shabbat Shalom.
Yabia OmerParticipantSo why do I hear so many people saying Hashem in FULL pesukim??
Yabia OmerParticipantWho is Avira to say that this Teshuva doesn’t hold water? Besides it wasn’t written in relation to Chilonim at all but rather how shiros/zemiros are considered dvarim shebakedusha so there is room to be matir saying Elo.. and Ado. Even if you say Ado…runs the world, is that “lashav”? You are mamlich Hashem, you are praising him.
Yabia OmerParticipantYes Baruch Hu uvaruch shmo is not Dina degemora. It’s a relatively recent thing.
Yabia OmerParticipantSome Sefardim refer to Hashem as Allah.
Also, I once read a teshuva that said that it is unnecessary to say thinks like Elokim (with a K) etc. because when people say it, it is usually a form of praise, so it isn’t Lashav. Like Tzur Mishelo, we say “Kidvar Hashem” but the whole song is a type of praise/Tefila.
Yabia OmerParticipantThe little I know is 100% right. And the most authentic is probably Teimanim no?
Yabia OmerParticipantThe real solution is to find out why 18 year olds are shooting up schools
Yabia OmerParticipantYes it is the beginning of decline.
Yabia OmerParticipantTachnun is a reshus, not a complete chiyuv.
Yabia OmerParticipantnOm: go ahead, test it out.
Yabia OmerParticipantEliezer shkoyach for your heilige pilpulim but what I’m saying is that most people would’ve even be able to tell me the simplest answer.
Yabia OmerParticipantA simple “until the 4th hour of the day” would be more than enough!
Yabia OmerParticipantHere’s a test: ask the guy next to you at shul or at your kids’ yeshiva “what’s the latest time one can daven shachris?”. A very basic question.
Yabia OmerParticipantAlso, the Rosh says and the Shulchan Aruch (C.M. 243) rule that a person who works for a living but dedicates time to Torah has the status of a Ben Torah
Yabia OmerParticipantnOm: I agree overall with what you’re saying but there is an inyan to be Gores the Zohar even if you do not understand a word.
ujm: A Yeshiva or a Kollel is better off with a Talmid who spends 2 hours a day seriously learning, but he fully understands inside out 5 Blatts every 2 hours (without the schmoozing). Such a person exists.
Yabia OmerParticipantFirst off, my OP jade absolutely ZERO to do with Ashkenaz vs Sefardi. I meant it across the board, all Yidden.
UJM: I disagree with you. I think the latter guy is Adif.
I think historically Sephardim were great codifiers, Halachists etc whereas Ashkenazim were more into pilpul and “lomdus”. But we know that Sinai is adif over Oker Harim.
I actually think it’s a negative for a Sephardim to engage in Lomdus because that is not their style. I don’t think there is a maala of Lomdus over, say, learning th pshat and the practical Halacha.Yabia OmerParticipantYabia Omer is Sephardi?
On another note, we should not underestimate bekius on Mikra.
Yabia OmerParticipantAvira. Of course a yeshiva guy might know ruba vechazakah ruba adif,. But I’m talking about the average frum yid. Most learn very little and know even less. From my experience of MANY communities.
Yabia OmerParticipantI just think real learning is for yechidei segula. Everyone has an obligation to learn but the high quality stuff is only a very few.
Yabia OmerParticipantLakewhut: lechol zman va’eis.
Everything has its time and place. Lah Baomer is a time of bonfires, dancing etc. That’s newsworthy at that time.
Yabia OmerParticipantNo one asked CAD why he was depressed
Yabia OmerParticipantCotton is miderabanan
Yabia OmerParticipantI would love them.
