Reply To: Pre-Yom Kippur Request from the helige Coffee Room Posters

Moderators: Please note that I am dividing my response to Ubiquitin into 3 posts since it’s so long. Can you try to see to it that they get posted in order? Thanks so much!!! And can you please leave this request up, so that Ubiquitin and other readers will realize that it’s one long post divided into 3. Thanks!

@Ubiquitin:

1. The first Ani Maamin is: אני מאמין באמונה שלמה שהבורא יתברך שמו הוא בורא ומנהיג לכל הברואים והוא לבדו עשה ועושה ויעשה לכל המעשים. It is kefira to think that Hashem is not All-Powerful.

2. Making the statement“not all agree on your narrow definition of hashgacha and the need for hishtadlus” is not a good argument. If you think that is the case, provide sources explaining what the other views are and who has them and what your point is. However, before doing so, please see my last point in my last post from the posts that are coming next. If you agree with the statement that “One should not do hishtadlus that is against halacha”, then your point (whatever it is) might not be relevant to my argument.

3. I was referring to LC’s post
