Happy new year

Obama!!

18 years ago, everyone said we have to leave America because of Obama.

Thanks for Trump, who saved America. MAGA!

Only 3 more years and the wheel will turn again. The future is unknown….

To those reading this in 18 years (2044), how did it go?
I really wanna know? Can you tell me?
Thanks

@rescue & besalel
I feel bad saying this but, if the Laws “made sense” then we wouldn’t need Torah. Let’s just make up what WE want. This thread is about the question of frum jewish women wearing Shaitels. In my own made up religion (what I think makes sense), women would wear (or not wear) whatever they want

Thats not the question here. The question is, is there a chiyuv al pi Torah (or mdiRabanan) to cover the hair, and if so, does a shaitel (or a fancy, lace top etc…) qualify. It seems some shitos ( R Elyashiv etc ..) held it doesn’t. Fine. But it’s not so pashut.

Nobody asked “rescue” or “besalel” what THEY think makes sense! Not relevant to THIS conversation.

I could do what I think makes sense!! Thanks for your opinion.

This question is about frum Yisraeiliyos who follow Torah.
Not what “rescue” or “besalel” or “Happy New Year” think.

Now “Yaakov Yosef” actually has good svaros (kedoshim tihyu). Thank you
But that doesn’t make a fancy lace top worse than any other nice clothes.

My great grandmother was THE Frummest Lady in America. She didn’t wear a wig at all!

A wig today is instead of wearing nothing. Not instead of wearing a tichel or scarf.

Think about that…

Not one person in this thread mentioned this OBVIOUS fact!

This is a **famous unsolved problem in number theory**.

### Short answer

* **It is conjectured that YES**, for **every integer ( n \ge 2 )** there exist **positive integers** ( x,y,z ) such that
[
\frac{4}{n} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}.
]
* This statement is called the **Erdős–Straus Conjecture** (1948).
* **It has not been proven in full generality**, but it has been **verified for all ( n ) up to extremely large bounds** (well beyond (10^{17})) and proven for many infinite classes of ( n ).

—

## What *is* known for sure

### ✅ Verified computationally

The equation has been checked and **works for every ( n \ge 2 )** up to enormous limits by computer search.

### ✅ Proven for many infinite families

For example, solutions are known when:

* ( n \equiv 0,1,2 \pmod{4} )
* ( n ) has certain prime factorizations
* ( n ) is even
* ( n ) is divisible by many primes

Only certain rare forms of odd numbers require deeper checking—but all tested cases work.

## Example solutions

### Example 1: ( n = 2 )

[
\frac{4}{2} = 2 = \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{\infty}
]
(Trivial case; usually excluded.)

### Example 2: ( n = 3 )

[
\frac{4}{3} = \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{12}
]

### Example 3: ( n = 5 )

[
\frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{20}
]

### Example 4: General construction (one of many)

If ( n \equiv 2 \pmod{4} ), then:
[
\frac{4}{n}
= \frac{1}{\frac{n}{2}}

* \frac{1}{n}
* \frac{1}{n}
]

—

## Why this is hard

* Writing a rational number as a sum of **unit fractions** (Egyptian fractions) is highly non-unique.
* The difficulty is proving **existence for all integers**, not finding examples.
* No counterexample is known.

—

## Final conclusion

* ✔️ **Yes, it is believed that such a decomposition always exists**
* ❌ **But it has not been proven for all ( n \ge 2 )**
* 🧠 This is a major open conjecture in mathematics

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.

People who live in other people’s houses/apartments think they are above morality. They don’t have to pay to live in someone’s house. Gimme ur house and don’t ask for payment!!

Not paying rent is STEALING and NOT moral. At all. Sorry.
Move to north Korea or Cuba. Everyone is equal there. No one has anything.

Most “chasidim” today ARE sfardi.

Think Hungary, Romania etc…
Mostly sfardim from the ottoman empire.

(Remember R Portugal from Skulen? Remember the Aruch hashulchan from Barbashti? Remember R katzelenbogen? Sat, Katz, karmen, all are sfardim)

Sorry, none2.0, I will NOT CONFORM to your version of “morality”. People have different versions of morality. What’s right and what’s wrong. You either follow an established version (such as the Torah’s, which u probably don’t actually accept, if u wud study it), or America’s, or u make up ur own, like the Wild West

What was ur original name?

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”.

Hey @SQUARE_ROOT

what about me??

How come i don’t qualify as Kanoi??

Please add me to the list. Thank you!!

Hmmm

How is it different from those today who refuse to join Hamas or PIJ to fight for the land??

Aha
THIS is gadlus!!

The jewish restoration in Israel also disproves Christianity and their Bible, which is why modern evangelicals have re-invented their religion, in order to reconcile it with modern times.

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!

The absolute foolishness displayed by people like “keith” is shocking.
It’s the PRECISE OPPOSITE of the truth!!

@keith

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!!

You are safe in NYC because and ONLY because of NK. Go thank Yisrael David Weiss that you can live in America safely.

If not for NK, not a jew in the world would be safe!!

@WTSP

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????

Such backwards, opposite thinking. This whole thread is based on a TOTALLY corrupted understanding of anti zionism.
