1. To the people who would like us to be dan lkav zechus: Why don’t YOU be dan lekav zechus, and realize that when someone is trying to daven with lots of kavannah, they are constantly interrupted by people banging into their chair, walking in front of you when davening Shemoneh Esrai, and getting slapped by ritzuos from the tefillin, and being interrupted by conversations and back slapping…. Perhaps this is what lead the writer to write this post.

2. Yes, I do make breakfast for my wife on Sunday mornings. And I do take out the trash. And vacuum….

#77 thanks for shouting out.

We learn something new everyday. Somedays, we get to review them.

Today we get to review the fact that people find excuses for things that are just too hard. When something challenging arises, they act with no inner motivation guiding them. They simply brush it off. Its easier to be lazy. When a time for inspiration appears, they dont fully sieze and utilize its preciousness.

Think. Its the right way.

pashuteh yid

thank you for your invitation, but i don’t think it’s going to be nogeah, i’m not really an older single, baruch hashem i’m young and have a beautiful family to spend shabbos with. and i enjoy kids so they wouldn’t have been a bother to me. btw it doesn’t sound like you know the type of boy i’m looking for. thanx anyway.

again, have a wonderful shabbos.

Everyone should have a Good Shabbos is right. Pretty soon us Yidden are going to be given the opportunity to serve the one above with Mishteh V’simcha. Lets all just try to realize that coming on time to daven is something that is worth the extra effort. The Zohar in Parshas Terumah (Yom Rishon In the Chok L’Yisroel) states that the first person who comes into daven early in the morning comforts Hashem by telling him that everyone will surely come to shul sooner or later. Is the extra 1/2 hour or 1 hour really that important? If you knew how upset it makes Hashem I think it would be easier to do. Let me tell you, it makes him pretty angry. If you dont believe me look at the Chok I mentioned.

#76. you want truth… the truth is that you do not know if the boys are lazy or not. you don’t know if the men who come late are lazy or not. you only know whether or not you are lazy. I for one would rather err on the side of the boys and the men and assume that they have a good reason. If you think it is a problem, talk nicely to the person and see if you can privately help them to understand the importance of being on time for Shul.

regarding the ads is not an appropriate comparison for this conversation, however, I will address it: On a tape on this weeks Parsha, Rabbi M.M. Weiss states (I am paraphrasing – and I do not remember all the sources that he brought down) that if you step on a bus and see such an ad, you should avert your eyes (no second looks) and if you do overcome your yetzer hara, this act of conquering it, creates a favorable moment to doven to HaShem. (back to my thoughts) the same, I suppose, could apply to time spent in Shul. If a person conquers his y’h to look around and judge others, perhaps that is also a good time to doven and make requests to HaShem

The truth is that these boys are plain lazy.The comments about others who should be davening instead of looking to see who came late is laughable. Would you allow untzniyus ads on a bus with the teineh that one should have his eyes in a sefer and shouldn’t notice it? People notice what is happening around them, don’t you?
So, big shot learners, wake up la’avoidas Haboireh, and until you do, don’t shvitz about how frum you are

#72 3 cheers …also how can she see who is shul she’s in her house..like the saying.. we see the glass 1/2 full she sees the glass 1/2 empty actually the glass is almost filled to the top but she sees the tiny thats not filled. any way tfilah was problem of the ages…see mesachtes brouchos 6b “eily d’vorim shoimed b’romo shel oilom u’vnei adam mezalzelim b’heim” rashi “k’goin tefila”..anyway the comparison to football is not valid..if one would have to go to football 3 time a day….get it…
