Yiddishe KopParticipant
First of all, conservative is a relatively new thing (around 100 yrs old) and only became far from orthodox well after it started. there4 conservative r mostly jewish (I have relatives who were conservative).
As 4 reform i dont know though id assume they have higher percentage og non jews still not even close to the majority.
As a side point it happens 2 b that more conservative/reform rabbis are chozer bitshuva then others of the groups bec. when they start to learn about jewish philosophy the chop that what they practice isnt judaism at all.
very sad that these frie yidden think what they r doing is what hashem wants they r am haratzim mamesh.(yes i know am haaretz usually refers 2 a frumma yid but you know what i mean)Yiddishe KopParticipantI have nothing against logical chabadskers and the shluchim are wonderful people definitely bringing mashiach faster iy’h with ther2nd most successful kiruv movement ever (after chasidus in general as the first chassidm were am haratzim and chassidus gave them a way to connect to hashem threw simcha and not necessarily through learning and today they are considerd “ultra orthodox”) but I always wondered why chabad doesnt have peyos (and you know what I mean by that) When someone (other than chabad) speaks of a chassid they invision a man with curly peyes etc. they dont envision a chabadsker, so why dont chabadniks have peyis like other chassidim?
October 18, 2017 10:15 pm at 10:15 pm in reply to: Are all these protests in Jerusalem really a kiddush hashem? #1386631Yiddishe KopParticipantTo everybody claiming that there is no halachik reasoning behind this, I will tell you (like many before me have said) that R’ shmuel Arbach the gadol hador called for this. If u want to talk to him about his psak go right ahead.
When I first saw the news about these protesters and watched some clips I immediately thought of all those chareidim to be insane. But when I thought about I realized that it is a very one sided thought. Youre not thinking of the 2 bachurim that got arrested. Does it mean they have to spit at women (which I’m not sure is even true) obviously thats taking it to the extreme. But blocking the cars and buses has successfully made a huge uproar and bean a huge deal therefor the protests have bean a success IN THAT WAY. The point of the protest is to make a problem (kind of like a child throwing a temper tantrum for an hour until he gets the candy)
Its is a whole different story whether or not this is a chilul hashem. Plz dont qoute me and then say “of coarse its a chilul hashem etc” bec thats just a waste of time.
In my opinion, and that which should be of every frum jew in the world, being that israel should be run according to jewish law. One of the biggest reasons against thzioiny movement is the fact that it would create a secular israeli culture and cause thousands to not be frum. (thats exactly what happened, a great example being that of the spiritual exile of the Taimani the secular israeli gov. put upon them) Therefor an argument that it is creating a chilul hashem is a bad argument. If israel is accoording to halacha then chareidim wouldnt have protest or at least rarely. A jewish state not going like halacha is oxey moron-like statement. So this “chilul hashem” that is accused upon the chareidi protesters can be turned right back on israelis non halachik state.If you are one of the many above who are completely against these protests you are a complete apikoyres as it is according to the opinion of the gadol hador.

but i already said before that you can fing a rare exceptionOctober 15, 2017 10:33 pm at 10:33 pm in reply to: The Casualties of Yiddish in Litvishe Chadorim #1381354Yiddishe KopParticipantI disagree i think yiddish should and should always be the language of the mir as it is the jewish language whether the most popular amoung jews or not
Hebrew will never be a universal language amoung jews as it will confuse children. Because most yidden are ashkenazi their accent in davening and in hebrew would differ. though if yiddish is the jewish language that problem would be avoided as rov yisroel are ashkebazi.
Also if you ever want to listen to a shiur from just about (yes you can fing=d a very rare exception) any gadol of the last 100 years twill be in … yiddish. so yiddish is especially useful to know in that way.September 25, 2017 11:03 pm at 11:03 pm in reply to: The Casualties of Yiddish in Litvishe Chadorim #1369774Yiddishe KopParticipantBottom line – yiddish is the jewish language whether its as popular as it once was or not doesnt matter it should be. It the (just about) universal language amoung chasidim, chabad included as its the language of crown heights. Like many before me have said, hebrew is strongly based of loshon hakoidesh which isnt b’chaviddik to be spoken in non toradik discussions. Yiddish avoids this problem.
BTW (there are still many litvaks in America who grew up or are growing up in a yiddish speaking home though it is the minority.September 10, 2017 6:24 pm at 6:24 pm in reply to: The Casualties of Yiddish in Litvishe Chadorim #1359908Yiddishe KopParticipantYiddish is the Jewish language hence the name. The only reason so many people dont speak it is because people (no offense avi k) people like you are suggeting against. well of coarse it wont spread. and also yiddish is not even close to dying. Many chassidim and yeshivish litvaks still speak it in there homes today. Yidden stopped speaking hebrew because it wasnt b’chavodik to use it for ovdei chol. Therefor they made yiddish. Maybe yiddish speakers shrunk significantley that doesnt mean we cant learn it and bring it back.
