    A seminary shouldn’t be academic, it should be about making a connection with hashem and growing in your avodas and yiras hashem. I went to a seminary that didn’t have any tests or work at all and I gained and thrived more than I have throughout my previous yeshiva system education. It was all lishma and I think accomplished exactly what a seminary year is supposed to do.

    @thequeen I’m not fooled, I know hashem sent the idf as a shaliach to protect the state of Israel. If hashem didn’t want them to be successful they wouldn’t be but just look at the history of the creation of the state, it is nothing short of a major miracle. I understand that it is all from hashem but I also recognize that hashem uses people like the Zionists to carry out his plans. And @daasyochid Israel was basically a wasteland before the Zionists built it up and now that they did it is a place of refuge -law of return- for all Jews no matter how frum or what type of Jew they are. All I’m asking is that you do the mentchlach thing and give some hakaras hatov.

    I think @aconcernedima is referring to the previous posts that bash Zionism as being the yetzer hara.

    Is that a guess, or do you have inside information?

    Try wearing a pair of heels for 5 hours then maybe you’ll understand why she wouldn’t want to wear them. If you’re looking for only how the girl dresses and no heels are a deal breaker, maybe you should re-evaluate your values!

    I’m not confusing them. They go hand in hand. The only reason that you’re able to fulfill the mitzva of living in Israel is because of the Zionists. Is it really right of you to not give hakaras hatov to those people?

    is Zionism still the yetzer hara? It makes my blood boil to think that people would even entertain that question!! Just the fact of living in Israel is a huge mitzva by itself not to mention kibutz galiot which is supposed to happen before moshiach comes!! And just because the state of Israel was founded by non frum Jews doesn’t mean they are any less Jewish then any frum person out there. @daasyochid you think that physically moving to Israel is the easy part?! Did you realize that the only reason it’s even possible to live or go on vacation there is because the the incredible, selfless soldiers of ??? who defend and protect the state and every single person inside of it even the ignorant ones who are agains them!!
