YW Moderator-80Member
excellent forensic work
YW Moderator-80Membermaking ^ 4 it now
translation: making up for it now
YW Moderator-80Memberyes i saw it. that was a clever guy
YW Moderator-80Memberim certain you are right
YW Moderator-80Memberfinally a good suggestion
YW Moderator-80Memberthat is truly a taste of Gehinnom in this world
one accepted pshat of the fires of Ghinnom is that it is busha, severe busha from which there is no relief and of which one never becomes accustomed or hardened.
YW Moderator-80MemberRabbi Miller, tz’l emphasizes this point
and implied that for Yidden to se a glimpse into Gehinnom is part of the pshat as to why the Holocaust happened
YW Moderator-80Memberi apologize to wolf by implying that he would poke fun at anyone. this is not something he generally does.
YW Moderator-80Membermy personal suspicions are that this is wolfs personal brand of something akin to satire, and he does not really think he is going to Gehinnom but is poking fun at those who imply that he is, for believing such logical things and not being like a sheep and being led blindly without thought.
be that as it may, and wolf will certainly deny my pshat if given a chance, that is the end of this conversation, it doesnt belong here as wolf has said.
YW Moderator-80Memberactually it gets erased from your screen (and immediately formed again) every time you scroll more than a pixel in any direction
YW Moderator-80Memberinteresting
not up my alley though
but of course it would be critically related to what the exact situation was, the type and extent of conjoining of the twins, and the cause of death to mention two
YW Moderator-80Memberpopa clearly was not making a Halachic distinction, but just painting a paradigmal example
YW Moderator-80Memberbecause a seemingly hypothetical question was asked.
the question was in no sense rhetorical and therefore the poster either wasnt thinking tightly when he wrote the subject or doesnt know what rhetorical means
YW Moderator-80Memberthe poster meant “hypothetical”
YW Moderator-80MemberI often repeat it to myself in stressful times and as I am falling asleep at night.
what a most wonderful, rare, and important idea.
YW Moderator-80Memberand of course you meant “infer”
undoubtedly a rare slip, i know you know the difference
YW Moderator-80Memberwhats your best guess wolf?
YW Moderator-80Memberand of course, every human being who comes from Odom HaRishon has a Tzelem Elokim. theres no room to argue otherwise
YW Moderator-80Membermyfriend is correct
but once they are married FORGET THAT REGRET, immediately and forever.
learn to love him and NEVER EVER let anyone know that you ever regretted this decision, NEVER. and especially keep it forgotten if you are ever angry at him or disagree with him. please remember this and resolve NOW before the potential situation arises to NEVER bring it up
YW Moderator-80Memberyoure arguing about different concepts
it is well known that Jews have a higher form of Neshama than the people of the nations. this is a basic principle of Yiddishkeit mentioned many places especially the Ramchal.
is the behavior of Yidden better than that of the nations?
as a People, certainly, far better, far more moral, far closer to Hashem and his ways, far more gentle and kind and generous.
individuals? thats a whole different story. certainly the behavior of a particular goy can be considerably better than some particular Yid. mother theresa must have been far more beloved in Shamayim than bobby, but their potential was in no way comparable.
YW Moderator-80MemberGood call, 80
dont assume it was me. im the most visible moderator (though ive recently lost some weight) but theres a lot of moderators coming and going throughout the day who are more discrete.
YW Moderator-80Memberactually i might just go with Glenfiddich 50 Year Old
YW Moderator-80Member1 bourbon year is approx equal to 10 scotch years
you know like the dog and cat year thing
YW Moderator-80Memberim already set on the woodford but thank you
YW Moderator-80Memberthank you chesed
actually i tried amaretto a few years ago and i cant believe how great i thought it was
i kept giving it to friends to try and everyone seemed to like it
then my brother-in-law tasted it
he said it tastes like robitussin
i tried it again and he was right
i never drank it again
how psychological are our tastes.
YW Moderator-80Memberwolf i know how much you hate nitpicking, but still, knowing your mathematical prowess, isnt the convention usually to have point B between point A and point C.
(no smiley needed here i assume)
YW Moderator-80Memberwell, i may have exaggerated…just a little mind you….about my car.
YW Moderator-80MemberBP
please stop by the bourbon thread
YW Moderator-80Memberleave me out of consideration please
December 2, 2010 5:28 pm at 5:28 pm in reply to: Give Gentiles Presents During Their Holiday Time #724732YW Moderator-80Memberbravo!
you might want to post that over here as well:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/heter-in-my-back-pocket
YW Moderator-80Memberit doesnt make me feel good
it makes me feel confused
and it makes me feel like i accidentally sterilized my mouth with rubbing alcohol instead of the thermometer
and it makes my chest feel like i swallowed boiling jalapeno juice
i keep trying though
so many people talk about how it is like heaven
YW Moderator-80Memberi dont get it either
but then i dont get liver either
YW Moderator-80Memberi want to make me happy in addition to the drinkers, and im tired of seeing glenploni
i dont know if its sherry cask or not but cRc says woodford reserve is: “Recommended”
YW Moderator-80Memberperhaps even more than Halachic questions
please, please ask a Talmid Chochom, especially one who is a Rav of a Shul and is experienced with such matters
YW Moderator-80Memberso sac do you have an opinion on woodford reserve?
and if anyone knows bptotty please let him know i would like him to chime in here
thanks
YW Moderator-80MemberIf you go to a kiddush there are always more Scotches than Bourbons but the few bottles of Bourbon are always polished off.
okay then bourbon it is
YW Moderator-80Memberwill many people drink rye?
and which way is more popular, with or without seeds?
YW Moderator-80Memberokay but what percentage approx of the general Jewish drinking population is this?
December 2, 2010 3:56 pm at 3:56 pm in reply to: Ever Win Anything BIG? In Chinese Auction Or Lottery? #714928YW Moderator-80Memberthats BETTER than a car is to an adult (well most adults)
December 2, 2010 3:50 pm at 3:50 pm in reply to: Ever Win Anything BIG? In Chinese Auction Or Lottery? #714926YW Moderator-80Memberwe won a trip to disneyland, no joke
YW Moderator-80Membernot only the most civilized. they were considered as the paradigm of manners and kindness of all peoples in the world.
these opposite extremes undoubtedly were to teach the Jewish People a lesson.
unfortunately so many lessons that we have been taught over and over and over again, continually fall on blind ears and eyes.
nevertheless we are obligated to act with menchlikeit to goyim that we see, because this is what Hashem wants as Rav Auerbach said.
YW Moderator-80Memberyes youre right
just dont forget this is a complex inyan and dont judge everyone who has a negative opinion or who is not negative but is trying to be mkaim the inyon of havdallah
its not as simple as you are presenting it
i added in to your spin, some additional basic yesodik principles which we must not forget
YW Moderator-80Memberwhat do you care if the giver didnt give it any thought or you dont feel it is appropriate?
i give up
if you dont understand the concept of a gift and the menchlikeit of the receiver to be grateful and not judge the gift or the giver i will not be able to explain it to you.
YW Moderator-80MemberI noticed theres quite a bit of anti Non Jew sentiment here as well as in the frum “velt” in general.
be very careful
this is your perception that it is anti gentile sentiment
do not forget, on the other hand, the very important Mitzvah that the Jewish People must keep separate from the nations, neither mingle nor assimilate nor even follow their customs.
and even though there is a mixture of true anti-gentile sentiment along with this in the velt..we are a people that has been tortured, decimated, persecuted, murdered in the millions, throughout our history by these nations. let us not forget this. we do not turn the other cheek.
nevertheless, of course we must behave as menchen especially in times of peace where anti-semitism is as strong as ever, but buried beneath a thin veneer of tolerance.
YW Moderator-80Memberyes gifts can say different things
but as the recipient, you have one obligation
to be grateful
and certainly not to judge the giver
unless your attitude that it is not a gift but owed to you
YW Moderator-80Memberrush limbaugh
YW Moderator-80Memberi do have experience in this area
many years ago i was asked to do something by a relative
i decided not to and she went elsewhere
it turned out to be a disaster
if i had done it it would have been very painful for both of us each time we saw each other, forever!
and her immediate family as well.
in addition i think i would have felt ashamed in front of my whole family even though i knew it wasnt my fault
this stands out as one of the best decisions i ever made, with the help of Hashem of course
YW Moderator-80Memberby the way, what a nice thread.
YW Moderator-80Membergoq
its a gift
think about what it means to receive a gift
YW Moderator-80Memberaries
siamese twins is a general condition which has a huge range of individual circumstances, every case is different
