Happy new yearParticipant
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.
Mark my words!!
September 15, 2024 7:57 am at 7:57 am in reply to: Who Keeps the Wife Who Was Married Twice? #2314798Happy new yearParticipant2 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.
September 11, 2024 10:25 am at 10:25 am in reply to: Who Keeps the Wife Who Was Married Twice? #2313902Happy new yearParticipantThis 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.
Happy new yearParticipantThe 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!
Happy new yearParticipantVery scary.
It’s all in the playbookHappy new yearParticipantBy 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 teethAnd 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?
Happy new yearParticipantWhats “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.
Happy new yearParticipantAll 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 doesn‘t care about them.
Your kids will hate you when they get more mature, for not protecting them from elementary age sleepaway camp.Happy new yearParticipantOn a computer, check the elements tab amd copy the src of the video tag.

Read the pasuk.

More like:
“Since the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash, I doubt that Jews have assimilated more and abandoned the Torah more, than in US of A”The survivors are “One from a town, and 2 from an extended family”
There, I fixed it for you.

Happy new yearParticipantIf not for NK, all jews would get blamed for everything Israel does that the world disapproves of.
Happy new yearParticipantThe Holocaust and global / historic” jew hatred” is actually a positive.
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.
All the things mentioned (and more…) are positive ideas. Things to be proud about.
Happy new yearParticipantAs 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.April 19, 2024 1:03 am at 1:03 am in reply to: Will Israel attack on Iran bring the Russian anti aircraft #2279016Happy new yearParticipantBen shapiro????????
Is he your figurehead????
He’s the image of American jewry.
Wow
When did this happen?Am I still living in 2015?
Happy new yearParticipantHe’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.

January 2, 2024 9:40 pm at 9:40 pm in reply to: Is it assur to wish a goy a “Happy New Year”? #2250844Happy new yearParticipant2024 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.January 1, 2024 8:47 pm at 8:47 pm in reply to: Is it assur to wish a goy a “Happy New Year”? #2250535Happy new yearParticipantI 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.
Happy new yearParticipantJust now, they gave me half a refund of $3000
But not full. So I still lost $3000 (!!)
I have the option of joining them again in a year when my credit is better. I don’t know if it’s worth the stress and trauma.
I just got a call from the owner saying he feels bad about what I went through. Let’s see if he gives the full refund. I’m not holding my breath….Happy new yearParticipantAnyone else heard of them?
Happy new yearParticipantThe scariest part is that they advertise on jewish websites like kol haolam and jewish content network.
They target frum people. The owner has long peyos and long beard. Israeli style.
They live in Orlando, FL.
If anyone knows them, please reach out and tell them to return stolen goods, please!!Happy new yearParticipant@ujm

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.
September 26, 2023 12:56 pm at 12:56 pm in reply to: Simchas Torah Minyan for Bnei Eretz Yisroel in Brooklyn #2227804Happy new yearParticipantA 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 chulHappy new yearParticipantThe 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.Happy new yearParticipantProbably because back then every girl was in this exact situation
June 2, 2023 12:43 am at 12:43 am in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2195050Happy new yearParticipantI heard there is a MO yeshiva in st Louis MO
Happy new yearParticipantAnd 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!Happy new yearParticipantYahadus 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
June 1, 2023 12:27 am at 12:27 am in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2194683Happy new yearParticipant@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
May 31, 2023 8:12 pm at 8:12 pm in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2194619Happy new yearParticipant@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 ShlomoHappy new yearParticipantAs 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…
Happy new yearParticipantNach 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”)May 31, 2023 12:33 am at 12:33 am in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2194216Happy new yearParticipantRight 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 AcoMay 31, 2023 12:33 am at 12:33 am in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2194214Happy new yearParticipantYechezkel 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 dinMay 31, 2023 12:31 am at 12:31 am in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2194215Happy new yearParticipantThe “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.Happy new yearParticipantForgot 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 HoneyMay 30, 2023 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2194150Happy new yearParticipantAlso, 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!May 30, 2023 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2194145Happy new yearParticipant@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.May 30, 2023 12:50 am at 12:50 am in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2193698Happy new yearParticipantWell, 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
Happy new yearParticipantWolf 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.Happy new yearParticipantHow 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 consequencesHappy new yearParticipantTo 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 human -
