What % of kollel people don’t pay income tax?
Abi geret.
We always eat dairy and fish together; eating alone is so boring.
“If a Yid does aveiros, it is Klal Yisroel’s business!!!”
It is Klal Yisroel’s business to improve itself and to do t’shuva; that’s it. Leave the rest to our Rabbonim; that’s why we have them.
In my opinion, Jews have no right to complain about crime and killers going free if they do not serve and leave it up to the chalerias to make up the majority of jury panels. It’s mighty tough fighting a jury where the majority is those types; I know. It is pikiach nefesh. But to the complainers, you are a bunch of so called frum hypocrites who will be the first looking for an organ when you are desperate for life; ABG.
Years ago, gantz faina yidden served in the army, it showed hakaras hatov, gratitude, to the USA, our medina, for what it has done to permit yidden to practice and grow in our religion. Today, we have spoiled complainers who are kafui tova.
When I was in Ner Israel, high school bochrim smoked because their rabbeim did, even the same brand. Unfortunately, some of these rabbeim and rosh yeshivas succumbed to the effects of smoking.
“and that they think that all Jews refuse to donate organs. That’s the Eivah”
Yes, and based on the responses posted here, it would appear that the goyim are correct, especially for today’s yeshiveshe types.
The same would apply to other civic duties, i.e., Jews joining the military; serving on jury panels; giving to secular charities; voting; etc.
Good answer. Wolf, this time I’m on the other side. When something is easy to determine and chazal says something that appears wrong, you need to figure what chazal meant.
“Apparently, he must have some insight into Heavenly matters to decide that a year of R. Elyashiv’s life is worth more than a year of his own.”
Yes, a year of R. Elyashiv’s life may be worth 30 years of this fellow’s life, so he ought to be careful about his pledges. Also, is he taking into account the widow and orphans left without a husband and father?
kee lee kol ha’aretz.
You can do the vast majority of mitzvos anywhere in the world, but not kibud av v’em.
You can wait until after 120 to move Israel, and you will have no regrets later on.
“Hashem also has enough ability to heal them outright, and doesn’t do so.
My point was that if we aren’t suppose to donate organs, then we can safely assume that Hashem isn’t going to cause more of us to die for that. We can safely assume Hashem runs the world and can make those who He wants to live, live; and those who He wants to die, die; regardless of whether we decide to donate organs.”
There already exists a religion with that philosophy; Seventh Day Adventists.
Also, a recent g’mara discusses the argument you pose, but in a different manner; a ben nachor posed an argument against yiddishkeit: Hashem made people poor so He, therefore, does not want people to give charity to help out the poor. Sounds very much like your shita.
And if a yid can’t give an organ to a yid, as you say; then a yid can’t take from a yid. So I feek feel sorry if c’v you will need an organ and only a yid’s is available. But then, maybe you’ll rely on Rav Moshe.
“So give them yours”
Highly inappropriate and insensitive comment in light of those Yidden who are critically ill.
While disagreeing with Rav Moshe, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rav Eliezer Waldenberg have no issues with organ donations from live donors, i.e., kidney; liver parts; blood; bone marrow; or any other organ donation fitting within their criteria of live donor.
“I am sure Hashem has enough kidneys in his bank account for me.”
Tell that to the scores of Yidden who have been anxiously waiting for many months and longer for a compatible kidney donor. Time is running out for them.
Man is m’chuyiv in p’ru u’rvu, not the woman. But a man can’t just go around procreating. However, kiddushin is a matir for the act; hence he is obligated to marry as a hecha timtza to procreate.
The woman, however, is not m’chuyiv in procreating so there is no obligation of marriage; but she has the option of kiddushin if she wants children and companionship.
An Italian pope was criticized after he stated his position on marriage. He was told, “If you no playeh de game; you no makeh de rules.”
A woman is patur from procreation and is therefore, patur from marriage.
Good enough for them, good enough for me.
“The longer the Japanese keep him kidnapped, the likelier the Japanese are to encounter their 2nd Makkoh, since they don’t seem to have learned their lesson from the 1st Makko last year.”
Any n’viem here?
“Avreichim learn so the world will exist.”
Paleeze. It is a mitzva for all to learn Torah and also, the world exists because we all learn Torah; in best case scenarios: from 5AM and the rest of the day and night for the working person, and 9AM through mincha and then second seder for the non-worker.
But that’s a long way from,”S’A Paskens there is a Chiyuv!”.
Everyone needs a Rebbe with a warm hand and smile.
Not always.
No, I didn’t.
Tahini and dd, you are the voices of reason here. Unless someone is 24/7 masmid material, which the vast majority are not, why should a capable non-worker be supported? That’s not how Hashem is m’shadich z’vugos.
Where is the m’siras nefesh for learning? One can learn at least 2 hours before work, during the ride to/from work, and several hours after work? There is more learning yomam v’laila being done this way by working learners than most of those that are supported. Take away the coffee, cigarette, and cell phone breaks from the supported learners and that more than evens the learning time playing field.
But, there is a catch; you have to wake up when it’s still dark outside and there is no batalah permitted. And the end result is that you grow in learning, and you feel good about yourself and you make everyone proud.
It’s interesting that the original Rebbe in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania was not called the Pittsburger Rebbe. His grandson who was born in Newark, NJ and lives in Ashdod, Israel has given himself the title of the Pittsburger Rebbe. His father was a Rebbe in Newark and lived in Pittsburgh briefly after the death of the original Rebbe; before relocating to Ashdod. The vast majority of Rebbes in the USA today are Yankees.
Health – “You argue on almost all my posts”
No, I don’t.
It is not a halacha for a Jewish woman to marry. At best, it is an eitza tova, good advice. On the flip side, once married, because of chashada, there are opinions such as the Rama that she should stay married.
OK, now you sent us on a wild goose chase and wasted our time looking for your Shulchan Aruch source; but of course, it was no where to be found. So where is the source in the Shulchan Aruch as you claimed? It should be quite easy for you to let us know so that we can verify your statements.
AZ – Why do you always answer for Mr. Nasi? Are you his attorney? Mr. Nasi should answer for himself so that we get the right facts rather than your assumptions.
“S’A argues on you and says there is a Chiyuv!”
Fine, so where is that again?
The so called shidduch crisis and solutions is a money business; shame on you Mr. Nasi.
There is no chiyuv for a female to marry.
“Please! i’m sure they’d love for one and all to come on board and run programs far better than what they are doing.”
That should be easy.
“If this person is Frum -then they have to get married whether they want to or not. It’s a Halacha.”
There is no chiyuv for a female to marry.
“gedolim have mattired it very recently.’
Name one.
“They also seem to hold grudges and can’t face conflict and aren’t the most easy to discuss things with but this has come to the extreme by literally ignoring our existence and not attending or finding silly excuses to get out of showing up to our functions!”
Perhaps they were very hurt by your side and have had enough; they don’t trust you and don’t want to be hurt anymore. Telling someone to just get over it isn’t going to cut it.
“in 2008, when during one of their protests Weissfish dragged the store owner outside and while holding him down, they beat him. The man sustained a number of fractures and bruises as a result of the beating.
Weissfish was convicted on counts of assault, extortion, threats and other related charges.”
Good Riddance!
“we have seen by leah a person thru davening can change there bshart.”
Leah was not Eisav’s bashert, however, Dinah may have been.
You are both wrong.
“Aren’t I supposed to try? Do my hishtadlut? We are not given our bsherts, we earn them?”
No, not like parnoseh. For shidduchin, you don’t have to make an hishtadlut; it is a done deal and it will happen regardless.
R’ Shach also stated that any “yeshiva bocher” who did not learn seriously all day, had no heter not to be in the army.
“A husband and wife must act with modesty in front of Hashem, even when they are alone, because there are rules of the Torah that govern their behavior. They cannot do whatever they like.”
The g’mara says that for every behavior that is assur, Hashem provides a setting that allows the individual to experience the davar ha’assur in an allowable way. For instance, for every food that is forbidden, there is a kosher food with the same taste. Having a yen for arayos? The Torah provides yibum.
Want to marry a shiksa? Try an aishes yefas toar.
How about a king like the rest of the nations? Ok says the Torah, but do it the way I tell you.
You have a desire to sacrifice animals like the rest of the world? Ok but not on an alter of one stone.
You want to have a intimate relationship with the opposite gender? Ok but get married k’halacha and keep it private.
Introduce him to PinkOcean88.
“but when you try so hard and want something so bad, it can be difficult on the emotions”
Don’t try so hard, it will happen regardless.
“Yes, but which thousands of years?”
What does that mean? Do you care to be more sepcific?
Hillel and the Rambam and even Rav Moshe were considered modern Orthodox by many of their contemporaries, so MO gedolim are in good company.
Wow! I don’t think you could do better even if you were holding in the sugya.
That was not me.
OK, now you’ve raised the ante. A husband and wife can be as affectionate as they want to be or need to be in their own private moments. Just as the Torah testifies that Yitzchok was “m’tzachek es Rifka”, without details; so too we need not get into details of husband-wife affections and relationships… whether it’s uncovering her hair in her husband’s presence, or singing for him, or dancing with him, or anything else…hakol mutar. No tznius police in the private domain of married couples.
