    moish, can i borrow your cast? seems to make you an automatic winner round here (guess we’d do anything to get a day off)

    #1166473

    moish, you had said you wanted a chavrusa for 12 hours per day. Remember now?

    areivim, be my guest!

    a DAY off? i’m bored out of my box.

    and charlie brown, i believe the closest thing to that that i would have asked for is a 12 hour long football game.

    areivimzehlazeh, you can have the cast if you take the injured leg with it.

    #1166476

    yeah I knew it was about doing something for 12 hours, I just couldn’t remember what it was so I assumed it was learning. my bad. 🙂

    Charlie Brown- so many topics that need to be addressed… how bout starting with my current state of insanity and CR addiction. Please guide me and show me the light

    #1166483

    areivim,

    If you are aware of your insanity, it means you aren’t completely insane yet. Similarly if you are aware that CR addiction is no good, you aren’t fully addicted yet. My prescription: keep posting day and night till it all seems perfect.

    squeak,

    that reminds me of the guy who said he can never get married because any girl who wants to marry me has to be insane and why would I want to marry an insane girl?

    Apparently Mod 72 does not approve of this idea, as the past 2 replies from “the other side” have not been posted.

    Curious, do you feel approved now? 🙂 Its all above.

    Now will you reciprocate and your side accept?

    I’m back, twas wonderful. Thanks for your concern everyone!

    #1166520

    Joseph-

    Here are the questions with Rav Belsky’s answers:

    1) Where is the concept mentioned? In gemora Sotah, Shmuel mentions it, and also in Bava Kama, last perek. The Choshen Mishpat mentions it in several places.

    I was concerned that these questions were not “shoel ki’inyan”, but Rav Belsky gave his OK for them to be asked.

    I took notes as we spoke, and the questions and answers are accurate to the best of my written notes and recollection.

    ICOT:

    A groise Yasher Koach!!

    Did you call Rav Belsky special for this, or add it on while speaking about other issues? And does Rav Belsky typically not mind responding to “theoretical” shailos?

    #1166524

    IMPORTANT CORRECTION:

    What I should have done is ask Rav Belsky for permission to record our conversation, and then transcribed it, instead of scrambling to jot down notes as quickly as possible while we spoke.

    If anyone finds and corrects any other mekor errors (which are mine alone) it would be appreciated.

    You can google:

    ???? ??????? ????

    I am confident that items 2, 3, 4 and 5 above are accurate, because regarding the actual halacha I was careful to make sure what I wrote was correct, and in some cases I asked Rav Belsky to repeat what he had said to ensure I had it right.

    Joseph-

    You’re very welcome.

    Tizku lemitzvos for staying on top of me regarding this issue.

    Did you call Rav Belsky special for this, or add it on while speaking about other issues?

    – I was calling about something else, and asked if it was OK to ask the “dina di’malchusa” questions as well.

    And does Rav Belsky typically not mind responding to “theoretical” shailos?

    – I can’t speak for Rav Belsky, but when speaking with him, I mentioned that although it was no longer nogeah le’maseh this had been an actual occurrence and was not theoretical. I also mentioned that this was not only to satisfy my own intellectual curiosity, but that it would be read by readers of this website as well. As with any Rosh Yeshiva and adom gadol, I think the value of his time must play a part in our cheshbon of asking theoretical shailos. One thing I really appreciate about answers Rav Belsky gives is that he will give a detailed explanation of the mekoros and thinking behind his psak.

    Why Yidden are the BEST!

    Synopsis:

    WE are the Am Hanivchar. WE have the Torah. Of course we are the best 🙂

    We are ‘Bayshonim, Rachmonim and Gomlei Chasodim, we are Maaminim Bnei Maaminim,

    Which other nation in the world would endure what we have endured all these years and still remain true to their creator?

    MI KEAMCHO YISROEL’

    WE Yidden are the CHOSEN NATION. We are incomparably better than the umos haolam. We have kedusha. They have tuma.

    Anyway, we ARE better because we have the Torah.

    We are privileged to be part of Am Yisroel.

    Tsiz gut tzi zan ah Yid, tsiz gut tzi zan ah Yid!

    Yisroel Kedoshim Heim.

    What nation is lucky enough to have Shabbos?

    The best Nation.

    The best People.

    The most holy people.

    The chosen nation.

    Why did Hashem choose us?

    Because we were and are the best!

    Honesty!

    Middos!

    We as a nation stick together, and watch out for each other.

    Hatzolah

    Shomrim

    Misaskim

    B’nei Oilem

    Zichron Shloime

    Mikimi

    Chaveirem…………….

    the list is forever

    Just look at the learning for the Mumbai Kedoshim and the way everyone feels when another Jew is in pain or has suffered a loss. MI KEAMCHO YISRAEL???

    Yidden are the best because they believe in Hashem. The whole world are to’im, but even non religious Jews don’t believe in yeshu etc. This is a very big zechus for yidden.

    someone stopped me on the street once and couldnt get over the fact that i was wearing a skirt and long sleeves….she just didnt stop talking to me–its amazing, wow, Jews are so refined…..were not the only ones that recognize our superiority!!!

    Keep ’em coming!

    In the end of the summer my car broke down on the way back home to Brooklyn from Lakewood and on the entrance of the outer bridge crossing we got into a small accident with a goy. Before the police even came already before the police came about 5 frum people stopped for us to see if everything was alright!!! One gave us the tools for a boost to borrow!!! and for the goy no one stopped!!!!!!!!

    MI KEAMCHA YISROEL!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
