    @apukerma

    You can say the same thing to these who are concerned about shacharis.

    @pekak
    Once we change the clock to Daylight savings, the shuls will be packed with frum ppl davening shacharis at Netz. They will figure it out.

    If you can’t do that, then you shouldn’t have that job.

    Say the same thing back to you. The problem is there. Just you dont care because ppl figured it out.

    They’ll figure out shacharis

    So can we all sign a petition to the Aguda, like the Berkowitz guy, who raised DWI awareness?

    Let’s go get 45k signatures and force the Aguda to stop the chillul shabbos!!

    So we need to all rise up and boycott the agudah, who is directly responsible for this.

    To be clear: this is not a personal, domestic issue. What happens in an individual household, is between you and your family. I’m talking about the STANDARD workday in the USA, not some personal complaint.
    If you have timing problems, that’s an individual issue.

    To be more clear: EVERYONE working at a job in the USA is forced to work until 5pm Friday. Thats a FACT!
    IF people get exceptions, good for them.
    We are discussing the public national issue, that Agudah is fighting against the frum yidden in America; we should rise up and force them to actually care about us.

    שב ואל תעשה עדיף

    Let the government decide, why should the Agudah fight against frum yidden. Who said your blood is redder?

    YWN won’t post my full message. I guess it must have sounded chutzpadik to the Agudah. But you get the idea I’m trying to make.
    In the USA, people work from 9-5 Monday through Friday. In NY/NJ area, if you follow the first Shkiyah (not Rabenu Tam), work ends a full 30 minutes AFTER shkiyah, directly causing chillul shabbos, which the Agudah is purposely fighting to cause.

    The fact that this is an old issue is IRRELEVANT. Once we abolish Standard Time, people will get used to figuring out the Shacharis issue, and everything will be fine.

    Shabbos is more important than Davening before Netz.

    Unless the Aguda paskens we can follow Rabenu Tam, or convinces all the wives to let us move to Florida.

    Hello?? Are you gonna post my comment or not?? Should I just give up to the “elites”, and assume shabbos is not important? Only davening with a minyan after netz?

    Ppl make fun of those who are not culturally the same as them.

    This has NOTHING to do with religion, but rather cultural association.

    They make fun of chassidim, and they use even more derogatory terms to refer to those more frum than them.

    @sensibleyid

    While I agree that one should not stray from your heritage, the fact is that most acharonim were ashkenaz, mainly because the sfardim moved to Europe and became ashkenaz.

    Also half the sfardi rishonim, specifically those after 1200 onward, were influenced by ashkenaz. Ramban, ritva, rashba , ran etc..
    Once the Europeans started having more influence in Spain, the sfardim pretty much became European, eventually assimilating into European jews over the centuries by the1800s.

    This also explains the heavy sfardi influence in Europe. Many of the munhagei ashkenaz from the Rema are not kept today, and instead we follow sfardi shitos.

    “the biblical principles of reality are coming back to life. No more lies. Only truth”
    Huh?? In the world u talking about man??

    You are __ conforming__ to this ridiculous idealogy, that doesn’t have any basis in history. Was invented in the middle ages.

    What exactly is “the Bible” and who made those texts in it?

    You are the victim of CONFORMITY!! Just a different religion, invented in the dark ages, instead of the original Law of Israel – what we call mishna, talmud (all israel, not just for prushim, like the Bible is)

    But u don’t wanna admit it

    I’m very happy that I’m the only one that none2.0 wasn’t able to respond to. Thank you!

    I’ll take the medal. My point has been proven true.
    There is no “written” Torah, and its certainly not what you call “tanach”.
    To AAQ, I’m referring to the idea that all these books are one entity, like this none2.0 thinks.
    The Law of Israel is the Torah (as taught and studied – mishna, talmud – by generations of all Israel – not limited to a particular sect), not a set of books that were canonized, or sanctified by the Prushim. Even in Yavne there were deciding which books to make holy. The study of Torah, i.e theTalmud, on the other hand, was universal and existed way before the “tanach”.

    None2.0 thinks he’s smart, but he’s clearly ignorant of historical reality and the fact he thinks the “writtenTorah” is divine, proves it. There is no “written Torah”. That’s sectarian. Only the Law, as taught and studied. Over 80% of today’s Talmud was universal among all Israeli groups (including tzedokim and Kuthim/Shomronim). Every time they argued with the Prushim, it is recorded. Most of the time, they agreed.
    In fact, there are times when chazal paskened like the Tzedokim, and i can prove it. This is Torah. Not the “Bible”.

    I actually agree with alot of what “none2.0” says (and i WISH there would be a thread like this about me).

    But somethings make no sense and demonstrate __conformity__ to ridiculous, yet weirdly common (in the last 2 millennia) ideas. Mainly, the concept that something quoted in chazal is a “human” idea, but quoting the mythical “Bible” is somehow “the word of god”. Nothing could be dumber. Literally.

    The Prushim created the concept of “kisvay hakodeah” and “ruach hakodesh”; the Tzedokim ONLY taught and studied the Laws of the Torah (in other words, “Mishna Torah” and “Talmud Torah”), and would agree with 80% of chazal today. The “Bible”, on the other hand, was non existent. The first jewish “Tanach” was published around 800 CE

    To build the bes hamidash and establish malchus bes David melech yisrael and the Torah in Yerushalayim, yehuda and possibly all of eretz Yisrael.

    Hadrian (starting 58 years after churban) originally supported this idea, as it would get the annoying rebellious jews out of the diaspora, where they were causing major trouble. Just 20 years earlier, in the Kitos war (Andreas Lukas was Moshiach then for Egyptian jews), the jews killed most of the gentiles in Egypt, Libya – called Cyrene – and Cyprus, in response to anti Jewish actions etc… They failed dismally (like most Messianic jewish rebellions – except the Macabees and the modern zionists), and were almost entirely annihilated (the rest sold as slaves).

    Hadrian sent his relative, Aquilas, to help the jews come back and rebuild. Long story short, he became a Ger and explained the Torah in Greek.

    Bar Kochba was Moshiach and rebuilt the third bes hamikdash in Yerushalayim. It stood for 2.5 years, after which Hadrian destroyed it (65 after churban), causing Him to flee to Betar, where they were eventually mostly annihilated (the rest sold as slaves – mainly to Europe)

    What caused Hadrian to change his mind? Good question!

    When the gentiles see orthodox jews attacking zionism, it tells them NOT to kill jews, since we are not zionist.
    They want to kill all zionists regardless. Question is if they will kill all jews too. To that, NK tells them NO!!

    Makes no sense what your saying !!

    The reason why we don’t thank hashem for Israel’s success is PRECISELY BECAUSE we are anti zionist.

    What you’re saying is extremely zionist. Why would we give gratitude to hashem if we are anti zionist????

    It’s like asking why a button down colored shirt is different than a white shirt (even a white polo shirt).

    Society, ANY society, automatically labels people based on externals.
    And, believe it or not, you label YOURSELF based on externals.

    The way you dress, look, phone shape etc…. has an automatic effect on the “class” that people (and, more importantly, YOU) view you.

    Once you are a “smartphone” person, you start associating with, and acting like, that “type” of person.

    Same thing with clothing. Etc….

    What we are saying is that we are not counting the years from the start of their religion, but rather from the Common Era, the accepted year of counting in modern times.

    It is used by secularism as well, so it is just a socially accepted year, hence “Common Era”, of the commonly accepted time.

    Not connected to religion anymore.

    Agav, the years were arbitrarily chosen in 523 CE for one reason: because it was 70 years before the Churban Bes Hamikdash.
    That’s accurate.

    The birth of their god was not then anyway.
    They said that because it was 70 years before the Churban.

    So, it’s actually a Jewish calendar, based on the Churban.
    But I get your point, nonetheless.

    Working people don’t NEED birchas Kohanim or any Tefillah at all.
    They are Yotze with the Tzibbur, while they are at work.

    But we do need to keep Shabbos.
    And since the Minhag among non-chassidim is to keep Shabbos from when the Sun goes under the horizon (an opinion that has NO basis in Torah or Chazal, and is actually quite laughable when seeing how Chazal argued intensely about when Bein haShmashos starts, clearly NOT as simple as when the sun goes under the horizon – the official Ashkenazi minhag has always been a later shkiyah, and even Bet Yosef, the leading sfardi posek, held that way as well. But the Sfardi minhag is to follow the first shkiyah),
    And most frum people live in places when sundown is at 430 nowadays.
    This is a BIG problem. And there are not many options to resolve it OTHER than abolishing standard time.

    THE AGUDAH, AND ASKANIM, SHOULD BE PROMOTING THE ABOLISHMENT OF STANDARD TIME.

    Kabalah is Lhepech from Torah. Granted, it’s old. Very old. But also very dangerous, as can be seen from looking around the world. Most of the enemies of the Jews, over the last 2000 years (Christianiaty and Islam), come from Kabalah.

    Having said that, it’s also important to remember that we need Kabalah, Ruach haKodesh, Tchias haMesim etc… (otherwise known as Prishus and Chasidus – see braisa of R Pinchas ben Yair), to survive the long and confusing Galus.

    But always remember: the Torah is the #1 priority!

    Don’t fall into the trap of Ruchnius!

    The Bris is the Torah. Studying the Law (mishna and gemarah) and keeping it (lishmor vlaasos) .

    אין בן דוד בא עד שיכלו כל הנשמות שבגוף שנאמר: רוח מלפני יעטוף ונשמות אני עשיתי

    This directly contradicts the later concept of gilgulim, if understood literally.
    Chazal clearly held (according to this pasuk) that each person is a new Neshama that needs to come before Ben David.
    One of the purposes of having so many children, is to bring down all the remaining Neshamos.
    Any gilgulim at all, if understood literally, would be against Chazal (besides for having no basis in Torah or Chazal)

    Some people try to reconcile this by interpreting gilgulim as being a “bechina”, some connection, but not literal. (like a candle being lit by another flame)
