I don’t know you, or about you, but I wouldn’t poke fun or belittle mitzvohs, or aveiros. No. I wouldn’t mock the precautions one must take lest one chalila be oiver on 6 aveiros per bite. No, not something to mock, belittle, poke fun. No. No s’char for that. At all.
You do have an excellent point about the abuse, the attempt to hush things, and the effort being done to combat that. That is serious. Pretty serious. But no need to belittle one of HaShem’s special mitzvohs for another.
I know, that’s what happens to all my posts. I wrack my brains (I get up oily, to oil all those gears and start the thinkonator) to think of some corny good one. It always manages to stay put. Hurray for you, someone responded to your’s. (maybe)

Try it. (can’t tell you from experience, never done it) Watch it work. Try a softer approach. Be fascinated with its results!!!

What’s the problem with the piyutim? I personally think they’re beautiful.

gefen, I think a lot of us wanted to write the same, it’s brave she that actually took the courage. I commend her for it.

You gotta be practical.. No moping, you gotta be coping.

It’s so interesting to hear what you’re like and what your wife is like.

Did the Maase She’haya, Kach Haya happen?
Anyways, sometime following rules in one instance makes no sense. But they were put in place for some reason.
Syag, I apologize. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, certainly not you. Maybe one day I’ll tone down.
Coffee Addict belongs here. He posted not to post.
In this time we forgot all the lines.
It’s starting to come back now, slowly.
I think the first one is “Light is compared to the Torah” – 613 Torah Avenue – Breishis. (is that his first?)
then there’s

At what stage in life do people come morbid (serious, solemn, sober, somber, humorless)?
SCARY!!!!!
C’mon Coffee, not yet! Rejoin the LIVING!!!
Maybe if he’s not a Yeshiva Bochur he won’t know what the kesuba says.
HELP. What’s going on here?!? Iv’e been slightly ‘busy’ for the past couple of days, couldn’t come here timely for ‘LIFE’.
What in heaven’s name is going on here?!?
Coffee.. I get this niggling feeling that…
Yeah, I know. I feel awkward starting new threads. But I overcome my feelings…
I’ll take another one. (It’s not completely dark yet..)
About your question, I don’t really chap. A brocha helps one a bit, gives a nudge in the right direction, it doesn’t take away the b’chira entirely. (see, even after your brochos, I’m still ‘hocking’ away here, instead of..)
Amein.
Thank you!!

Actually yes, more specific. To be able to realize and utilize my full potential capabilities for, and to do, Ratzon HaShem. To be b’simcha, upbeat and make others happy and glad.
I’d like one. I could really use one. (or two)
Actually one bumped into Rabbi Silver’s car.
I guess the hurricane blindfolds them.
Actually that post is here:
You read right. (are you new here???)

(I liked your sentence ..”you will land in the water.” How about “water in the land”?
On average I guess on guy would unfortunately get a parking ticket (which includes a meter ticket), someone else maybe a moving violation (which includes a red light ticket), and maybe someone else lo aleinu a sanitation ticket.
Generally if one tends to follow the rules he/she won’t get fined for it. Most of the rules were set in to benefit ourselves. For instance, imagine going through a red would be optional, parking haphazardly at will, leave your rubbish where you so choose… I don’t think it would be a habitable place. The more people in question, the more laws governing them is required. So while in a village of 4.5 people one may park in between both lanes (in between the double lines), and no lights are necessary (there is only one person on the road at any given time, either on this side of the intersection, or on the other), in a city of 8,244,910 (+1) rules have to be made and followed.

Oh, where did I pick up this nonsense from? From wherever I picked up all my other nonsense. Is this the first nonsense you sensed? (that’s nonsense)
Well, you could always hold you nose.
Yichusdik:
Sorry for not answering you sooner.
Let me try again. From what I perceive, there were two types of Gedolim throughout the era right before churban Europe.
One who HaShem in His infinite wisdom granted crystal clear foresight into events about to unfold. It’s not a secret. Anyone know of R. Elchonon’s droshos (I think the Chafetz Chaim too). The Meshech Chachma. Others too. I know of a Chassidic Rebbe who spoke openly of events about to unfold..
Then there were others (I think a lot more) who HaShem in His good judgment decided to cloud their spiritual venues of knowledge (one reason as I mentioned before). So as great as they were, as powerful as they were before, they were totally at a loss during that time. As I wrote a direct intervention from HaShem ????? ???? ?????.
Now it’s regarding the first type, who you’re referring to, you’re asking why they didn’t tell them to leave. Good question. I don’t know. Maybe you answer.
I tried one. Let me back it up. It’s no secret of the total assimilation prevalent in those time. It’s not as you wrote “possibility” or “spiritually being weakened”. We’re talking about a definite TOTAL ASSIMILATION. Do you’re math. How many immigrants were Jewish, how many can you find of them today? I don’t have any numbers or statistics, but I’m told it was a COMPLETE assimilation. It’s no secret how all Gedolim of the past viewed America then, it was considered to be a spiritual wasteland, and they sought to prevent anyone from immigrating. So I can understand why one Gadol not outright insist on others to leave to Americe en masse, (some privately were actually advised to do so, the Gedolm knew their strengths). But as a rule I could well understand, the chance of a COMPLETE spiritual demise was DEFINITE, they chose to do what they did in all previous generations. Kidush HaShem.
Remember the words we uttered not to long ago: ?? ????? ?????? ????? ??????? ????? ?????? ????? ???? ?????.
<Theory One>
Let’s try another one. Yidden did hear now and then, from Gedolim, from the existing media a bit too. Why didn’t they escape. I wasn’t so simple. Can’t just get up and cross the ocean. A lot of people became entrapped because of their belongings, families etc.
<Theory Two>
Another one. There is no Nevuah today. There is Ruach HaKodesh, but not a pristine Nevuah. Perhaps even those in the know maybe thought there would be chance to escape. Or maybe those hearing the about the impending doom thought so.
<Theory Three>
To sum it up, I don’t know. What I do know is that a good amount of Gedolim foretold the impending catastrophe about to unfold. And also that not so many people made it here to these shores.
