It was not President Trump who refused to enforce our immigration laws. It was YOU!It was not President Trump who opened our southern border to 10 million illegals from across the globe.

When President Trump left office the inflation rate was 1.4%. When Biden took office inflation rose to 9.1% in 22′ and although it has since fallen, prices today are up to 19% higher than when President Trump left office. Under President Trump we had the lowest inflation in 50 years. YOU erased it.

Under President Trump’s leadership and the Abraham Accords which he enacted; he left behind a stable thriving Middle East with no new wars under his dime anywhere in the world. Look what has happened since. Trump would never threaten Israel. It was YOU!

You cannot differentiate between Haifa, Israel’s thriving northern port, and Rafah, Hamas’ tunnel-ridden terror city. Trump is not dictating to Israel. It is YOU!
@Avira
Did Reb Yaakov Zatztal say to which way he changed his mind? I have heard that what he meant was the opposite. Can,t confirm this but I remember hearing such a shmuahI would suggest to look into Silver Springs a suburb of Baltimore
It depends how “OLE” you are. LOL
For a non chasidish hat most people go to Hatbox or Cuff n Co
Look in Chazon Ish Yoreh Deah end of Simman 3. Seems to quote from Chafetz Chaim just the opposite.
common
Are you the Troller Rebbe’s gabbai? You are totally obsessed with him. Do you get a salary or maybe a tenure from him? And btw what great things does gabbai of Troller Rebbe do with his time besides eating Troller shirayim and saying over Troller kanaus.
Just wondering….
I did too and I am FFB. I think most people did.
they say a story about a Bais Yaakov shabbaton in Baltimore when the speaker announced “All in towners go to the right and all out of towners to the left”
All Baltomorian and Boro Park girls went to the right.
That was 35 years ago. Today it would be Lakewood instead of Boro Park. lolAAQ
Rav Feldman did not imply his community would be influenced by the rally. You are construing the words that you yourself quoted. He said that he can’t contribute to undermining our Torah beleifs by advocating for people to go to the rally.
You can feel that he was wrong… that it doesn’t undermine it…or for pikuch nefesh it is ok to undermine it…but that would be his Daas Torah vs yours.@dorah
Just because there are dozens of Rabbonim supporting the rally is that a reason for Harav Sorotzkin to lose his title “Rabbi”?
What is a pompadour? please enlighten the unlearned.
Try Safe Telecom phone. It is an Android that comes already blocked with lots of kosher apps. Not so cheap though. $300 plus.
re(10) Binyan olam was written by Rav Chatzkel Levenstein Zatzal. The fact that Rav Hutner didnt agree with it (allegedly) doesnt cast any doubts on him ch”v. He probably wrote anonimously out of anivus. Same for sefer amalah shel torah written anonimously written by Rav Shlomo Brevda Ztzal
It is just a machlokos in daos and ze veze…
FYI Rav Hutner did the same thing with Rav Moshe Shmuel Shapiro’s sefer on Kesubos which he didn’t like his peice on geirus for hashkafic reasons.re(13) Rav Geltzeiler in his hakdama to his sefer Kodshei Yehoshua writes of his father in law Rav Dessler and Rav Hutner having a chavrusashaft wit a chabad chasid “Reb Itche Masmid” who taught them both toras chabad over a period of year or so.

I beg everyone to stop pointing fingers. it is NOT Bden or leftists or even those beastly Muslim animals. It is Yad Hashem telling us to do teshuva. This is Parshas Haazinu and Nitzavim. It is me and you who need to look into ourselves and better OURSELVES not say it is mikreh chas vesholom.
To say it is because this reason or that person is ABSOLOTE KEFIRAH!!!
“Im talchchu imi bekri gam ani talchu bechamas keri” From the Tochacha
Just posted on Geribben thread. If you don’t like some of it please edit but don’t not post alltogether please. I put alot of effort into it. 🙂
Sure. I’ll just need some time to get the answers.
@common saychel
You always have such deep insight. Tnx.
I can state one thing great Biden did. He showed us all how much the Dems hate Trump. They are willing to back an old senile crook who trips over his own feet with an ultra dumb VP. All that just not to vote for Trump. He has exposed the divide our country has fallen into like no one else can.
Now that is something you have to grant him. Real genius I say.
Try “Hashem LOOOOOOOOVES you!!!!!!
If that doesn’t work…..make sure you beleive it yourself first
@Emunas
Which seforim did Rav Aron Strusaleh write? I sincerely would be interested in learning them bezh
Marxist
I actually enjoy and appreciate Avira’s straight and Torahdik prespective. edited That goes into the klal of “miskabed bekloin chaveroi”.
And we all know what it says about that in Chazal.Huju
Why do you feel the need to bash someone’s pain? I think everyone else understood OP’s words perfectly. You included. It is ok to be empathetic even if you don’t have a quick fix for their problem. It is after all one of the 3 simanim of our Jewish yichus. Showing and feeling rachmonus. It is being “noisei be’ol im chaveiroi”
And I know ones who got exposed to it in the best Yeshivos. The ones you think it can never happen in. And prescription drugs is a makkas medinah. It can start from someone who had a tooth surgery or a bachur who raided his grandmothers medecine cabinet. Hashem yishmor!!
Actually the fact that we are “different” makes the shame and secrecy much worse that in itself being a self perpetuating catalyst to keep the cycle of addiction continue. The self loathing a frum Yeshiva bachur or Bais Yaakov girl has when they CH”V fall is much worse than a regular public school kid and that feeds the addiction tenfold. So in a way we have it worse. Same goes for a married frum man or woman.
Avira
My wording may have sounded off but my point is true. And no not all have left the haven of Yeshiva when they started.@ujm
You are being naive. Go to any of the many halfway houses in any frum community. Or to any Bais Hachayim and see the row of bachurim. Go to South Florida where there are multiple rehab centers full of once frum or still frum young and not so young people. Go to any AA or NA 12 step meeting and see the hopefully recovering ones.
Do you know how many divorces are because of addiction issues of all sorts. Some which cannot be talked about on this forum?
Hashem should help us. But YES this issue is here. Addiction is nondiscriminatory. It doesn’t care about your religion.
Speak to any mental health professionalI heard from a big Askan “Oib es Christilzichs es Yidishzichs”.
I know of too many “once normal” Yeshiva bachurim from perfectley regular /normal families who are not with us anymore(I mean unfortunatley they are in the Bais Hachayim) R”L because they fell into drug use because of social pressures/anxiety/depression etc.GENUGT SHOIN!!!
I know already everything possible to know about CHABAD from all the other windy threads.
Time to talk about SATMAR
All I know is that is the only shirt my with it yeshivishe kid is willing to wear.
Are there any?
I never had the zchus to read HP. Was too old. But I sure enjoyed Hardy Boys until my parents caught me reading the casefiles. LOL that stuff is childsplay compared to what our children can find today online R”L
@Yabia
That sounds like the gemara’s definition of Rabbi Akiva. Oiker harim vetoichnan zu bezu besvoroh. Was he hevel or rik? Im reik hu michem hu’
And he had no intent on it going online forget about viral. It was a shmuz he was supposed to give live to a certain group of people but couldn’t make it so had it recorded for them. Someone cut one snippet of it and posted on the internet. Rabbi Leiser doesn’t even have internet access himself. I know him well. Real authentic Yeshiveshe guy.
Who can forget Harav Gifter Zatzal screaming “Rabbi Lamn?? Mr Lamn!! Zol zein smicha aropfallen!!”
From all the “sinas chinam” or “it ain’t different in xyz community” it would seem that no one has a good answer to OP’s question.
Hello? Anyone there that can answer it without shifting the question on others or screaming sinas chinum?
@AAQ
I think you are getting @Sechel confused because in Chabad when you say “chasidish” you automatically mean Chabad and only Chabad. They don’t consider the rest “chasidish”. After all the rest don’t learn “chassidus”
To emphasize what was reiterated so many times….
I had a conversation with a Chabad bachur many years ago when I was a young impretionable bachur myself. We were sitting next to each other in an airport. I had a sefer with me (Derech Hashem from the Ramchal) and this chabd bachur who was a few years my senior started making deragetory comments against the sefer and litvishe Yeshiva bachurim in general.
I was very shaken up and tried not to get confrontational with him and told him that I just know what we are told by our Gedolim…
His retort which still repulses me 25 plus years later was…
“Do you mean the “Gedolim” of Siman Gimmel in Shulchan Aruch?”
I think everyone can understand the meaning and depravity of that comment told to a young innocent 17 year old Yeshiva boy trying to mind his own buisness.
But of course this was all in the name of saving a poor lost soul from eternal Snag damnation.
G-D bless his soulAnd the buses go straight from Geula and surrounding neighborhoods
Just to add to @someday
Rav Yerucham Z”L writes that a person today can be learning a sefer from someone many generations ago and little does he know that he is bigger than the writer of the sefer.
Wondering if I have teen drivers who are mostly in oot Yeshiva dorm but legaly live in my house do I have to put them on policy?
I am asking this in a legal/halachic sense and also what happens if I didn’t (which is the case so far) what will happen if ch”v an accident?Is that just a more sophisticated way of saying what I kvetched about that you feel left out?
I feel so left out!
Besides Dr Suess. He was a Gaon even lmaan deomar he was an antisemite.
“the Places You will Go” and “The Lorax” are mammesh mussar seforimOf course not. But if someone finds he “can’t” keep Shabbos anymore he is by defenition not frum. But if he “can’t” eat cholov yisroel that is not the case. The same would be about the Yeshiva guy who “can’t” wear a hat and jacket or the Satmar guy who starts eating OU.
I was told of someone who was looking desperatly erev Yom Kippur for a chicken for kapporres and wouldn’t hear the tzad to use money, but was saying he doesn’t plan on fasting because “Hashem loves me and for sure doesn’t care if I fast or not”
When we start mixing up minhagim with chiyuvei krissus it gets a bit mishkebabal and we lose focus on what’s a frum Jew and what is not.
And so is fasting on !7 Tammuz and 9 BeAv not deoiraissa.
I say this because i find it important to diffrenciate. I know of a Chabad person who went OTD because she ate Cholov Stam and then threw in the towel (nebach) because anyways she did an aveirah….
Wolf
I can’t figure out if you are joking or serious about the tattoos.
Just to point out the obvious…tattoos are an issur deoiraisa….listening to music in 3 weeks is derabanan.
