    Did it ever occur to anyone that besides the glitch fb had, the asifa was inspired by the two chasidishe women who went astray recently? Feldman and that other woman?

    ‘You are correct, that it’s not inherently assur to access the web for purposes of Torah.’

    somehow the feeling I got was that filters were a secondary solution.

    The REAL MESSAGE was ‘get rid of the internet period'(maybe not for pple who need it for parnosoh)

    Am I the only here who was reading between the lines, or did others get the same feeling?

    If thats the case, how do you square that with the above quote made by DASS YOCHID,?

    I heard something recently. I am not sure if it is in a ‘joke’ category or can be tied into a Dvar Torah.

    They say that making a shidduch is compared to Kriyas Yam Suf.

    Not to forget that there were plenty of ‘MACCOS’ Lleading up to it!

    1.A kallah normally goes to the Koisel several times before she gets married. Why? She has to get used to talking to a wall!! lol

    There was a story about an older Bochur who was looking for a shidduch .

    Its brought down if you have a bad wife, you go straight to Gan Eden. He asked a shedchan to get him a real witch! He would like to secure his plaCe in GE.

    The shadchan called him back a while later and told him that she found the perfect girl. She will make his life miserable guaranteed.

    Fine, they married and it turned out that she was soooooo nice.

    Always prepared beautiful sumptuos meals. She really tried to please him in every way.

    The man approached the shadchan very disappointed. ‘I aksed for a witch, and you gave me an angle!’ he exclaimed.

    The shadchan went back to the wife and asked her for an explanation. She had always had a name for being so mean. What happened.

    Without hesitation, the wife replied, ‘YOU REALLY THINK I FARGIN HIM GAN EDEDN,,,,??????’

    A man was witholding a get from his wife for a long time.

    When it came to the attention of the town rav, he was summoned to see him.

    The Rav sternly told him that there were two ways for her to be free. Either he gives her the get as soon as apossible, and she will become a Grusha, or she will become an Almonoh.

    He gave her the get immediatly!

    The previous Klausenberger Rebbe, Rav Yekusiel Yehuda Halberstam.

    Without a doubt, the most inspiring individual who gave such chizuk in the most painful period in our history.

    He lost 150 relatives, including 11 children during the Nazi Holocaust and continued being Mekadesh Shem Shomayim till the last day of his life.

    His biggest revenge on the Nazis, he said was whenever he married off a child or grandchild ( he remarried after the war).

    Shraga18,

    You made some valid points. However don’t you think the title of this thread is a bit out of wack??

    ‘LOST ITS WAY’ would indicate that the TOPICS brought on this website are of inappropriate content. Whereas, your point is that there were COMPARISONS made which might not have been ‘yeshiva oriented’.

    There is a big difference!

    Wolfish;

    Yes it happened, AND I am making a point.

    The smile was not meant to be malicious but rather sarcastic.

    You say;

    ‘and I can’t imagine that someone else’s greater tragedy should make her (relatively minor) misfortune seem any better.

    Well I diasagree with you on that one. One always must be grateful for not having to endure painful experiences. As I do understand Cinderella’s unpleasant happenings, they might have been uncomfortable, but not tragic.

    As you say,may those unpleasant experiences be her worst suffering!

    I once heard a very significant vort:

    ‘If a relationship is supposed to be a secret, you shouldnt be in it!’

    YES, I obviously use a screen name.However, if anyone should ever figure out my identity, its not as if I stole, murdered, or commiteed any other major offense that would put me to shame.

    If posters think that it would be devastating to blow their cover, why actually are they posting?

    I would like to share an inspirational Moshol I just heard recently:

    There was a young girl who was blind. When it came time for her to do a shidduch, she obviously was in a very difficult position, being refused on a constant basis.

    Finally she found the most wonderful boy who agreed to marry her. He treated her like a Queen and took the utmost care of her. She was his greatest priority.

    A feww weeks after marriage ,he had met with a doctor who would be able to perform a surgery which would restore her sight.

    Excitedly, he came home and brought her the news, and as she was delighted to hear, she agreed to start this procedure as soon as possible.

    However, in a turn of events, the Doctor decided that the oepration cannot happen for another 20 yrs as he wanted to wait till it was more perfected. Saddned , the huisband relayed her the message.

    For another 20 years this man continued , to treat his wife with extreme care , love and respect (yoser megufo).

    Finally, after all those years, as she was waiting in the operating room for the surgeons to come in, her husband shocked her with an admission. ‘I too am blind’, he told her.

    After her successful surgery waz performed, they took off the patches and DID see that her husband was in fact a blind man. This time, it was her turn to do the deed and she spend years looking after him, the way he did her.

    It came to pass after a few years, that she was able to see, there were other men around who had their sight and were capable and independant. she decided that she wanted a normal life and couldnt commit to caring for her husband anymore. She asked him for a divorce, and he lovingly gave it to her but asked her to promise him one thing.

    ‘You got your sight back BH’, he said.

    ‘Please take care of

    those new eyes you have, because they are MY EYES,’ he continued, ‘I donated them to you before you had the operation years ago, because I wanted you to able to see’.!!

    We are all created Betzelem Elokim. Hashem gives each and everyone one of us a neshomo. We should take good care of it, use it the most positive ways.

    Gemar Chasima Tovah to all,

    ARWSF,

    She may have made a mistake , but as Shmoel says she was hardly a role model to bring to the forefront . Especially not as the coming days ahead approach.

    If you want to take an example from a Righteous Gentile, I’m sure you can do a lot better.

    I know a case where there was talk about a woman being unfaithful.

    The husband said he was not mikabel the rumour and they stayed together.

    Re- Kohen,

    I meant to say if the wife of a Kohen is seen in a suspiocious situation with another man (such as out having drinks), that would consitute a Ch’shash that there MIGHT be infidelity.

    Whereeas if the wife of a Yisroel is seen in the scenerio, its not enough grounds for divorce.

    Isnt it a fact that a Kohen is not allowed to remarry a woman he divorced whereas its would be a MITZVAH for a Yisroel to do so? (even if she was unfaithful)?

    Health,

    Tks for elaborating. Now I can sit down:)

    Gregaron;

    Its not so simple to divorce if she was unfaithful unless there are witness and warning. Certain questiions have to be adressed and answered in very specific time scales . Its more complicated.

    A kohen THOUGH, has to divorce evn just with rumours.

    ‘about not having a shver with same name as you – i think it’s from R’ Yehuda Hachassid. I’ve heard it said – halevai he would have written the Aseres Hadibros!

    If your point is, that its a small issue, I know there are some Rabonim who are VERY machmir Not to take a SIL with the same name.

    As far as gebrokts on the 8th say ONLY, most pple hold that way.

    Cherrybim,

    There are those Rabonim who takeh dont beleive in taking the Dor Yishorim, claiming that Hashem watches over us all.

    However going to the Doctor when your not well is another issue. A Doctor is supposed to be a shliach. How is that comparable to the topic at hand?
