    The Yankees will be up 3 games to none, but the Red Sox will win the rest and go on to win the World Series as well.

    But in 10 or 15 years from now, no one will care about the MLB, only the NFL.

    Ever since the George Floyd riots, which will happen in 12 years from now, when a virus spreads across the world.

    2 points.
    First, Misah matirs even in this life, certainly after Tchias haMesim. The ONLY question would possibly be by Yibum, if the first brother has tchiya before she and 2nd brother dies. Nothing was matir her, so perhaps you could ask by yibum.

    But your whole question is based on the wrong assumption that there will be marriage at that time.
    The entire purpose of marriage is to have children, and the entire purpose of having children is for continuity of life. In the time of Tchias haMesim, and Bila haMaves laNetzach, there will be no death, and therefore no continuity of life.
    (Really, if there is no death, there is no life, as life is defined by death, but that’s a separate point).

    A proof to this is that which chazal say, bo’u vnachzik tovah la’avosenu, we should appreciate our ancestors who sinned by the Golden Calf, because if not for that, they never would have died, and we would never be born.

    No death, no children. No children, no marriage.

    This whole discussion mixes Torah with Ruchniyus.
    They are mutually exclusive and NOT compatible.

    And this discussion is 100% perfect proof.

    We, Yisrael, follow the Torah. Not Ruchniyus.

    The Tedokim were right about this one.

    The answer to anti jewism in the west, is to publicly campaign against Israel and zionism.

    Like NK. They are our saviors. I dont like them or their opinions about a lot of things, but we need them now more than ever. Making “Aliya”, and supporting zionism (the SOURCE of the problem), is not the proper way.
    Neturay Karta is the proper way.

    Jews have the right to NOT support Israel. Period!

    By the way, Yemenis pronounce the hard ג wrong. Like Arabs.
    ג is supposed to be from the palate, G (like the soft ג which they do get right, indeed, GH), not the teeth

    And nobody pronounces the ר correctly, which should be a J and soft ר should be ZH.

    The English RR is the best substitute, and the best pronunciation of ר that exists today, because at least it comes from teeth, like supposed to.

    But, ya, should be J and ZH. They are 3 Reshs, you know that, right?

    Whats “yiddish”?
    You mean “lashon Ashkenaz”?
    Or “Teitch”?

    Ok. But I never heard of yiddish…… The anti religious and anti “Semitic” jews, made that up.

    Agav, the ת being pronounced as a S goes back to Aramaic times, where they pronounced ת like ש S, hence they used ת and ש interchangeably.

    Also the Greco Roman “S”, which makes plurality, comes from the Hebrew ת, even though they could pronounce “th”, they still said “S” for plurality, because that’s they way it was pronounced back then.

    I used to think it was German mis- pronunciation, but the ת and ש being swapped in Aramaic is a very strong proof.

    All camps under the age of high school SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!!!

    Kids in elementary school are too immature to go to camp. They suffer far more than any fun they might have.

    High school camp is fun and enjoyable, but younger than that is horrible. Any parent who sends their kids to elementary age camp is evil and hates their kids. Or simply doesnt care about them.

    Your kids will hate you when they get more mature, for not protecting them from elementary age sleepaway camp.

    You are looking at it in a negative way, but for me, as a historian, all the things you mentioned are very positive ideas.

    It’s these ideas that keep me jewish, and give me a burning desire / pride to give my ancestors lineage to my descendants.

    As an American Jew who cares about Am Yisrael, I am very happy that at least a dozen individuals are dressed as Hasidic Jews and publicly protest the existence of the zionist state. Some people say they are legitamizing anti semitism. And they are.

    But, at the same time, they are literally, single handedly, protecting all jews globally, including those who HATE them.
    The anti semites, who hate us all anyway, now have to think twice before killing us, or attacking us.
    I know many anti semites, personally, who have expressed support for anti zionist jews because of NK.
    Even if we disagree with them, and / or their actions, we still should be happy that they exist and are doing what they’re doing.

    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.

    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.

    The 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!!

    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 .

    You assume the answer to weather we should rebuild the Mikdash if we could is a resounding NO?

    @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 Shlomo

    As 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”)

    The “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.

    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??

    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.
