attributing all anti-semitism to one person?

i dont buy it, not at all, not in the slightest.

zahavasdad i agree 100%.

i tried to have hot dogs and hamburgers served at my daughters Chasunah

alas after my daughter began crying and my wife turned her eyes into a pair of lethal ray guns, i saw it was not to be.

anyone who thinks that the innovations R’SRH made under the terrible circumstances of the overpowing reform influence in frankfurt makes him “modern orthodox” really has no understanding at all of this great man. some Gedolim feel he erred in his ways, some feel he made a proper choice but no one would say his actions constituted anything like an acceptance of “modern orthodoxy”

sorry

you were 15 sec behind me

there is no such word as blaphemize

the word is blaspheme

the most effective way we can change others is to first change ourselves and serve as an inspiration for others.

that true

but you know what

when i see something like this it makes me be just a bit more careful in my own behavior

and who knows who else it will change, a lot or even just a touch, now or maybe someday in the future.

wiy

did you read my post above?

doesnt seem like it

end of discussion

wiy

i dont know these songs

if the poster said they are clean i dont have the time or foolishness to listen to them to corroborate.

as far as things on this site that are not “kosher” if everything perfectly “kosher” was eliminated there would be almost nothing left (not necessarily a bad idea)

i dont appreciate your constant criticism of the moderation here lately

if it disturbs you, you already stated you are aware of your options. lets leave ranting against the moderation staff out of those options please.

yes there is a lot of Jew bashing in the Jewish world in general, something which is close to non-existent in other cultures. we have become a nation with an inferiority complex

generally the less religious the more Jew bashing.

but dont mistake wiy. he certainly meant that this behavior is found among all people, only that among our Holy nation it is a much more severe lack of Derech Eretz because we are princes not peasants. this, i assume is what particularly bothers him and he posted here simply because he is frustrated in his inability to change it.

i dont take out the garbage

my boys do

i personally havent seen it either

but it is done regularly in certain circles

i find it terribly disturbing and shameful as well

very upsetting

i understand what you are questioning

its just that we are unable to question it by saying thats not fair.

if you learned that the din is that he doesnt go free then thats fine.

but not to say it cant be the din that he goes free because why should an intentional murderer without hasra have a better outcome than an accidental killer?

very interesting

pei vav is my favorite kpital, if i can say such a thing

i never heard anyone else mention anything about it before

very nice.

what?

im personally curious

does anyone posting here actually think that somehow the representatives of these two sides will be chosen by an unknown force, and that this friendly, informative debate will actually take place?

from some of the serious discussion it seems so.

in the unlikely event this fictional debate comes to fruition, defining the groups will surely be a major point of contention and an integral part of the debate. it is not something that can be decided bdforehand.

correct, its not a democracy

its not a government of any sort

it is a forum on the internet dedicated to a particular purpose and a particular point of view.

i dont understand zeeskite

are there two people posting under your name?

your posts used to be, well shall we say somewhat immature.

but the last month or so they have been very wise.

The high cost of Jewish funerals and Burials

i dont know where you live, where i live frum Jewish burials are very simple and MARKEDLY less expensive than gentile funerals with their mahogany caskets, flowers, and opulence

whoah!

i dont think anyone suggested not eating the day before, chas v shalom

here are a quote from the two posts:

I almost never eat a lot the day before.

i have also found that not eating a lot the day before helps.

also i have never heard that it is Mitzvah to eat before T’BA

it is a Mitzvah to eat before Y’K

the company manager in los angeles hired a trucker to bring a very important shipment from new york

four days later the trucker arrived

the manager asked him how it went

he said great!

i drove very carefully, never once going over the speed limit

i made sure to sleep the amount required by law

i always kept on the alert

i did everything i was told to

good, so wheres the merchandise?

oh i forgot to bring it.

we were not given the wondrous opportunity to come to this world merely to obey all the laws (though that is of course necessary)

we are here to come closer to Hashem, to praise and thank him in our words and in our actions, in what we do and where we go and how we live and what we are interested in. we are told over and over in the Chumash, Csuvim, Neviim, the Gemorrah, we are an Am Kodesh. we are a SEPARATE people, a people alone, a singular nation dedicated to Hashem alone.

we are in golus, scattered among the nations to see, will we remain an Am Kodesh, a separate Nation, or will we let the interests and values of the goyim become ours. will we let the Yetzer Hora tell us whats the harm? whats the big deal? you can dress and act and do the same things the goyim do and still deliver the merchandise. will we listen?

okay, sorry

i admit i didnt read your post in depth

do you have a question or an agenda?

what do you think makes someone MO?

im sick and tired of people always using the name of my group to denigrate others.

this is pure racism!

we idiots are also a minority.

we idiots are also prejudiced against and im sick and tired of it

we are victims of everyone else

stop calling people who you dont agree with idiots.

we have rights just like african-americans and those who are mentally ill
