if one were to translate lehavdil the three branches of government into Judaism
On what basis?
BPD stands for borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder.
My sister was a “mainstream seminary girl,” and she still has her IDF sweater.
Can He divide by zero?
Can He create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it?I would argue against pictures before which makeup was done by a
professional artist (unless that’s how you usually look), and I would
also argue that such pictures often are not the best presentation of
yourself. (As per Daas Torah, I’m not in favor of pictures in general.)Non-religious or sinning (to whatever extent) Jews are not “fake.”
(Also, I doubt the Israeli authorities would approve more than a
certain number of people immigrating within a certain time period.)Who was Reb Chaim Telzer?
(Note to CR readers – I considered making this a separate thread
to go with the current atmosphere, but decided against it.)Bump.
Sounds like false advertising.
(On an unnecessary but related note, I wore multi-colored socks for
the first time this past weekend, because someone had opened the
dryer that mine were in and they weren’t ready in time for Shabbos.)Joseph, it’s pretty clear that you are trying to read
(or put) something into the text that just isn’t there.What she said was, “…a tzaddekes, as all our Imahos were, besides for Leah,
who was at the level of a baalas teshuva.”I think she was referring to Chazal’s statement about baalei teshuva achieving
a higher level than tzaddikim (“b’makom she’baalei teshuva oimdim…”), and her
statement was presumably based on Chabad teachings. (She was using
“baal(as) teshuvah” in the classic sense, not the modern one, and she
did not mean to imply that Leah was not beautiful.)I think the question is what your title for them is, not their official title.
(In other words, it’s whether you, not the Rav, is Ashkenazi or Sefardi.)(There’s nothing there about the Chofetz Chaim’s own relationship with his rebbetzin.)
From the Mesilas Yeshorim: >The first 3 lines of Chapter 13<,
>the first 2 lines of this page<,
>and the next 2 paragraphs starting at the bottom of this page.<…not being as tasty can allow shechting an animal and cooking
the meat on Yom Tov rather than erev YT. Thus we see that it is an
important consideration.You didn’t mean that regarding kashrus, right?
(I just realized that now.)(I played Potion Explosion.)
Were you using the same dreidel throughout, and if so,
did any other players also use that dreidel?…not being as tasty can allow shechting an animal and cooking
the meat on Yom Tov rather than erev YT. Thus we see that it is an
important consideration.I think you may be giving that too much importance.
What do you mean by that, Joseph? (147’s still here.)
I know of a reform “rabbi” who is not only not jewish, but he is BLACK.
Is there something wrong with being “BLACK?”
(There are black Jews too, you know.)I think the English and Hebrew Gemaras were actually
written completely independently of each other.1. It’s not a solar calendar. (Our full calendar does match up nicely
with solar years, as you already know.)
2. Yom Tov Sheni has nothing to do with calendar accuracy.Whose definition of “game” doesn’t include cooperative games?
(The definition of “duel” does of course exclude cooperation.)Am I allowed to sing “Jingle Coins?”
Also known as Reb Yosef Goldstein.
Something doesn’t have to be “the worst aveira” to
justify being deemed unfit for an office because of it.What if your neighbor’s yard looks like it should
have a store selling inflatable things behind it?That doesn’t mean he thought he would be coming shortly,
only that he could be.…Hitler’s name etc I know that there were many gedolim
at that time who didn’t mention his name. One was R Aron
of Belz and I think one of the readons were not to give
“koiach” to the sitra acrah or something like thatYes, but that was when Hitler was alive.
So how WOULD be the appropriate way to say his name?
“You-Know-Who,” or “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named,” of course.
Joseph:
Perhaps Zahavasdad was using quotations because
he already knew that You-Know-Who was not born
on December 25th?
T22T said he was out of town, not in a town.I didn’t mean that the Torah counts using base 10;
I meant that the gematria values of the letters are in base 10.
