Ben shapiro????????
Is he your figurehead????
He’s the image of American jewry.
Wow
When did this happen?Am I still living in 2015?
He’s a nice guy and we should respect him. Can’t hurt.
But just remember that during the beginning of the 2nd Midash there were many people whose mothers were goyim and Ezra and Nechemiah sent them all away. They ripped the mens’ hair out until they agreed to expell their wives and kids.
Is anybody interested in a “lighthearted” convo?
2024 years was NOT the birth of anyone famous.
Total made up stupidity. From their own literature, it can be proven the he was born appx 30 before.The REAL HOSTORIC reason this year is 2024 is because 2024 years ago was 70 years before the Churban Beis Hamikdash.
Around the year 532, they DECIDED to make it year 532, because it was 70 years before the Churban, so it sounded good.
Fact. Unbiased Truth.I have a secret for you.
January 1 has NOTHING to do with any modern religion.
It is from Roman times.
Ancient Roman calendar, representing the winter solstice. (Before Gregory, 450 years ago, jan 1 was the winter solstice).
Just like midnight starts the new day for them, so too, the winter solstice, comparable to the yearly midnight, is the when the year starts.
By the way, December 25, or January 6, has nothing to do with any modern religion either, but that us a whole ‘nother story.It was actually a day of death destruction of jews in ‘honor’ of the god january is named after. See Rabbi L. Keleman’s lecture on TorahAnytime
On the topic of January, the Yerushalmi in AZ, first Mishna, says a possible story about why they named it January.
How do i appply?
Taking advantage of a sad situation to make some good $$$$$
Exit, выход Vikhod. Same word.
@kuvult
If the Converso marriage was not kosher, then everything is fine. Her kids from the Spanish Converso are NOT mamzerim.BTW, there is a lot of “lack of education/understanding” of the Law on the CR, not surprisingly.
A chul resident keeping Simcha Torah in Israel is fine, because, you’re not being mevaze Yom Tov.
For an Israeli to be mevaze Yom to in chul could be a major issur of mevaze es hamoadim.
The same issur for bnei chul in chul, applies EQUALLY for Israelis in chulThe truth is that from a purely secular perspective: The majority of material taught in school will do NOTHING for 95% (probably closer to 99%) of students.
NOTHING
Secular Studies SHOULD consist of FINANCIAL EDUCATION which is sorely lacking in ALL communities.
The Government does not want the average person to have this knowledge, so they teach all sorts of STUPIDITY instead.Take this lesson from someone who has learnt the hard way!!
I wish i opened 5 credit card accounts when i was 18. All the hard inquiries would be gone by now and i would AWESOME credit now.
I would be able to leverage high credit limits, and i would a millionaire by now.
And there is A LOT more FINANCIAL EDUCATION that ACTUALLY will help people in Life!
Like, how to be successful in life!!
The current system will do NOTHING for your future life at all!!So, continue studying Trig and Algebra and chemistry and biology and literature, because who knows?
Maybe one out of million of you will actually need it in their job, LOL.Probably because back then every girl was in this exact situation
I heard there is a MO yeshiva in st Louis MO
And to @n0mesorah, the Rambam actually says MY POINT in his introduction to Mishna Torah, that Yahadus is HALACHA.
There is very little else, besides Halacha in the Rambam, and he calls it Mishna Torah! The entire Torah.
See his intro clearly. He held his book was THE ENTIRE TORAH!Yahadus existed before Nach.(don’t worry, I know the midrash that all 24 books were given to Moshe).
Chazal say many times, (and it’s clear in the chumash), that Nach is NOT Torah. Yahadus IS the Bris of the Toras Moshe, nothing else aka the Law of Moshe, AND understanding it.
The Neviim have a very important purpose, but that’s not Yahadus itself.
No one has actually responded to what I said. They just skipped it over.
And if you were on the recent Chabad thread (from which this thread was crafted – in fact, I inspired Yabia Omer to start this thread from there. Ayan Sham), then you would know that I am more “biblical nationalistic” than anyone. I am also an expert in Nach more than many. I believe Halacha is drawn from the pasuk first (Mechilta Sifra Sifrie, before Mishna. So, no, I am not focusing on Gemara too much, although you need it to understand the Law)This discussion is not about Jewish knowledge or scripture.
It’s about Limud haTorah= “the Law”
Read my previous notes, so I don’t have to repeat multiple times .We might be saying the same thing but referring to it differently
@n0mesorah
You assume the answer to weather we should rebuild the Mikdash if we could is a resounding NO?
about 100 years ago, there were Jews in America who thought that we shouldn’t be keeping shabbos nowadays even if it could be possible.
How can you CANCEL 50% of the Torah, just because?????
If we are Anus (hands tied), ok. But stam????Don’t keep shabbos cuz it’s a chillul hashem
@RSo. “and the Rambam, in Peirush Hamishnayos (Sanhedrin 10:1), writes that whoever says Mashiach will not be a descendent of Shlomo is “kofer BaShem uvedivrei neviav””
I dont wanna argue with haRambam or even Chazal (where it says from Zerubavel – not like Yermiyahu’s curse), but the Gemara says Bferush that Rebbi Yehuda Hanasi could have been Moshiach, and also says Bferush that He was a descendant of Shefatiah ben Avital (Avital was one of David’s wives).
So, no, He does NOT have to be from ShlomoAs n0mesorah mentioned, there is a difference between “from Hashem” and “Torah = LAW”
The Torah, the LAW – and, of course, the discussion of how to get to the law, is Yahadus.
I would say, that even reading the story of the Mabul or Yosef and his brothers doesn’t qualify as “Limud haTora”, which is a very specific classification. (as i quoted above…., vshinantam lvanecha vdibarta bam….. “ki im bToras H’ cheftzo uvToraso yeegeh yomam vlalyla” and “vhagisa bo yomam vlayla”)
“Ki al pi hasvarim ha’eleh karati itcha bris v’es Yisrael”, and many other psukim say beferush this concept. The entire Bris is the Torah, nothing else. Furthermore, the other Nevi’im have no right to give us any laws, = meaning they are not Torah AT ALL!
Only that Moshe said there would be a place Hashem would choose to rest His Name and that we should put over us a king from whom Hashem will choose, so we need the Nevi’im for that.Of course, it’s important, just like Agada and Mussar etc…
Nach should be taken out. It’s not Torah. Also agada.(we should still learn it, don’t get me wrong!!)
“Vehayu hadvarim ha’ele asher anochi METZAVCHA hayom….”
The Mitzvos. That’s Limud haTorah.
Torah means Halacha and the way we come to the Halacha.
So, besides Chumash, we have Mechilta Sifra Sifrie, Mishna, Tosefta, Bavli Yerushalmi, HaRambam (and potentially, any discussion about Halacha, I only mentioned Rambam because he covers “kol haTorah Kulah”)Right after the churban, they tried rebuilding. (“Be happy you were in the mouth of the lion and lived”)
Then again a major rebellion by Bar Cochba, they were expelled from Judea.
And expelled from Israel entirely 200 years later.
in 470, An Italian group tried coming but got drowned.
In 500’s, under Julian the apostate, they were very close, until he was assassinated by the Christians.
In 609, the son of the Resh Galusa, came with 30,000 Jewish soldiers fighting in Persian army against Constantinople.
They were promised everything by the Persians.
They conquered Jerusalem and started building, only to be double crossed by the king.
After that, we were scattered to the west, and the land lay barren and empty with no hope.
Jews from France came with crusaders in 1100’s, only to find out they lost Jerusalem, and settled in AcoYechezkel is bayis shelishi. Pashut. Zvachim 59-60 makes it clear.
Melachim is irrelevant.
The mizbeach is 24 amos, including the shittin.
Mizbeach adama means not on rocks or ditches.
Anyways, Halacha is Halacha. It’s not effected by these things.
That’s why we have chachamim and bes dinThe “mizbeach” thing, is an outright excuse.
We would never say that in any other area of Halacha.
It’s only because you don’t want it.
Stop focusing on so many things that have nothing to do with yahadus, and focus on re-establishing more than HALF of the Torah to it’s proper place.
If you want it, you’ll figure out a way.
There is no reason why we can’t know where the mizbeach should go
There’s a 3 way machlokes tanaaim where it should go, so we should pasken like one of them.
And according to R Yehuda, the whole azarah is kosher.Forgot the stupid cheesecake and instead focus rebuilding the Mikdash so next year we can follow ALL the REAL Halachos of Shavuos, Yom Habikurim, when we bring the Mincha Chadasha.
The whole inyan of cheesecake is only to remind us of the Bikurum which is brought from the 7 species of the Land, flowing with Milk and HoneyAlso, there is something called Halacha for a reason.
You don’t need Eliyahu for that.
Building the Mikdash is like any other mitzvah and chiyuv.
Lo bashamayim hi lemor mi yaaleh lanu hashamayma…..Throughout history, our ancestors always tried building it.
There were dozens of times when we came very close, to varying degrees.
People who say we can’t, are kofrim.
Maybe we don’t know how to keep shabbos either until Eliyahu comes? Etc…..Study Torah and Halacha, and we’ll know how.
The earlier generations NEVER said: we dont how to do it.
They tried and failed. Ones rachmana patrei….
We must try and succeed!@AvirahDeArah
I’m not talking about balebatim.
I’m talking about ppl “sitting in learning” in yeshiva for 10-20 years, who are Amaratzim gemurim in shas.
They don’t even know what it is.
When I quote a yerushalmi or a sifra, they look at me like I fell from the moon.Well, if you never learn more than 3 blatt of 7 random masechtos, how will you ever know anything about yiddishkeit?
The way to have a yearning for the Geulah, is by studying ALL of Torah. Then you will see that half of the Mitzvos cannot be fulfilled and you will have not just a yearning, but a fiery zeal for the Geulah.Why is it that people who try to build the Beis Hamikdash are called extremists by the FRUM YESHIVISH velt??
And those that study the entire Torah, to keep it, are called baalehbatim??The Torah is REAL, not some joke
Wolf is right.
The Torah will not change as long the world exists.
This is EXPLICITLY throughout the Torah and Tanach.
It cannot be argued with. Anyone who says otherwise, even chazal, is either wrong or a misunderstanding.
See Dvarim 30:1-10. And many other places. The Bris Torah is eternal and never will be annulled, not during the galus and not after geulah.
All the Neviim, most importantly Moshe, said that after the final repentance and redemption, Yisrael will listen to the voice of Hashem and follow ALL the Mitzvos, Chukim etc.. that I commanded them TODAY, ALL as is written in THIS Book.
There are literally DOZENS of EXPLICIT psukim to this effect.The Torah doesn’t change because of peoples imagination.
The word “Olam” means Eternity and World.
After this world is no longer the same world, meaning Olam haba, etc.. LITERALLY new heavens and new earth, is something else. But that is beyond what we have in the Torah itself. Ayin lo raasa.
When the world no longer exists, we will worry about that.How could you say “there are no consequences to the vaccine”, when it’s only been 2 years and many consequences have ALREADY been seen?
Just saying….
It could years to see more widespread serious consequencesTo yabia omer:
Goes show how the ashkenazim brainwashed you.
It was the ashkenazim who built Israel and it was them who forced millions of sphardim to come to Israel and become goyim.
Everything Israel has today is because of the ashkenazim who considered the sphardim to sub humanFirst of all, you’re off by 1000 years – you probably meant 2460.
Second, jews today there are Sphardic, not native Antochians. The natives were killed / expelled by the Christians in the late 300’s. They mostly moved further west (Italy etc..) where the persecution of the church was less. The expelled Byzantine jews founded / joined early European communities. They wrote the Yotzros / Piyutim that Ashkenazim use to this day.Yes, SQUARE_ROOT is right. The Torah calls the Melech a Nasi. “Asher nasi Yechta…..”. It’s clear in Yechezkel (and Yeshaya) that Moshiach will have children. Yechezkel even says (46:16) that his inheritance would go to his sons – and we know according to the Torah, that that means he will die.
And yes, if the Beis din paskens misah on them – so be it. Din Torah is Din Torh
ok – hineni
And…… Where’s the contact info?
Rashi in Parshas Toldos says the field which Hashem blessed (meaning Gan Eden) is the “Apple Field”.
Meaning, the field is of Apples, but the Tree itself was clearly not, according to Chazal. (Fig, Grape, Esrog, Wheat). The Zohar (first meal of Shabbos) calls it “Chaqal Tapuchin Qadishin” – Holy Apple FieldIT’S TIME TO go up and rebuild the Holy Temple – and restore ALL the Laws to their proper lace, finally.
It’s been too long!
The Time Is Now!
Be prepared to fight for itThe Software Course is very good, great professors.
Really prepared me for my very lucrative career.
In 1 1/2 years, you get more than the goyim get in 4 years.
If you’re able to keep cheshbon, it’s really kdai.
The zoom is even better than in person, in my opinion.
Amount is a lot less than any other college, that’s for sure.
i owe these ppl my life!@Avirah – if you wanna say EVEN a Rebbe is toraso umnaso (an excuse for working) is patur from davening – then KOL SHEKAYN a real Uman is Patur!
The gemara says bferush that “Am shebasadeh” – working ppl – do not hafta daven at all – the chazaras hashatz is for them. but, a Rebbe also? that’s a chidush – only R Shimon was like that. Most Non-workers must daven al pi halchaThe reason we dont say Tachanun by Ma’ariv – is for the “meorer dinim” reason – no source in Halacha.
Originally, Tachanun was the MAIN part of Davening – as explicit in Daniel – literally falling on the floor 3 times a day. But, because of the “meorer dinim” reason, we dont fall on the floor (the sphardim dont fall at all – the ashkenazim fall on the table – but not on the floor anymore – which is the real Halacha)
All this is because of “meorer dinim” reason.
Most Chassidim in LKWD are VERY makpid to say Tachanun, with 13 Midos, every day Shachris and Mincha – even after Shkiya.
But, i guess, fpr some since the minhag ashkenaz is to fall on the table, they extend the “meorer dinim” reason even more.BUT EVERYONE TODAY HOLDS OF THE “meorer dinim” reason – IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER – AGAINST HALACHA!
@Quayboardwarrior:
If you look at the comments there:
kahane_was_right October 23, 2020 11:23 am at 11:23 am
what if the election is stolen by the libs?does he factor that in as well?
Ad Kan Lashon kadshoNo one answered that question – so we dont know…..
DUMBEST POLL YET!!
Well, if you use a topic that Repiublicans are sympathetic to, like Ye, who is a right wing conservative, and Trump – whaddaya expect?? Novelty, Please??Why dont you make a poll about many other topics that Demonrats are more sensitive too and the results will LITTERALLY be the EXACT OPPOSSITE
Ashkenazim used to speak only Loshon Hakodesh on Shabbos – as evidenced by the 18th Century Song of R Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, on Motzai Shabbos they would move back to “Loshon Ashkenaz” (it was only called Yiddish by secular nationalists at the end of 19th Century).
it represents the Human power of desire, which will eventually take over logic. Like many things, a lie is repeated often enough until it becomes true.
let’s face it. people WANT to be jewish, but they dont want to actually work for it.
This has been the CORE principal behind ALL anti-Jewish philosophies of ALL time.
Ppl can’t take the fact the Jews have a covenant with G-d, but instead of following the law and becoming part of the covenant, it’s too hard, so they decide instead to deny that anyone has this covenant. THIS, and ONLY this, has been the sole reason for Paul founding christianity in the first place.
The Ancient Greeks, if you read Apion, hated the jew for the same reason, so they said the jews are a made up ppl, with no real history. Josephus wrote an entire book, Contra Apion, to defend the jewish history of the Bible. Eventually, reality started sinking in, and if not for Paul, EVERYONE would have become jewish.“if you can’t join ’em, beat ’em!!”
PEOPLE WANNA FEEL GOOD, WITHOUT WORKING FOR IT!!
This has nothing to do with being smart….
Smart means figuring things out – problem solving.
This is just if you happen to know something.
Who is the current PM of Pakistan? Does that make you smart?
It means you know global politics.
If someone knows the answer to these questions, it means they are knowledgeable in that subject; not smart necessarily.The Sphardim were never Meikil, that’s just a modern lie. Ya, if they are not frum, of course there are gonna be more lenient, right? The real frum Sphardim are the most strict of all communities
The Teimani Mesorah is very questionable at best. You have any reference to them before the Rambam?
Only hostorical reference to them before that is the Himyars who took the revenge against the Ethiopians for how the byzantines were treating the jews. Not much else. The European Jewish Tradition is the MOST documented of all groups, by far.
This has nothing to do with the Dark Ages. They were primarily in Italy during that period, where they produced some of the most memorable aspects of our culture during that time. Think about ‘Midrash Tanchuma’ (written almost entirely in italy by italian geonim), Rabba and yerushalmi (who joined these italian communities after they were expelled by the byzantines). There was an expression: ‘From Bari and Lombardi will Torah come and the Word of Hashem from Toranto’. These were famous communities of the greatest rabbis of the those centuries.
The famous 4 captives who brought Torah to Spain and North Africa – were from Bari, Italy.
Just open up an Ashkenazi Machzor and see all the Piyutim of all the Holidays for throughout the year. ALL of them were written by these Italian / Byzantine (includes Egypt, Syria, Greece, Turkey) Jews during the centuries from 550 – 950 CE; who then moved north into France and Germany, The Holy Roman Empire, by the Carolingian Dynasty.
