@Rocky, I have a great idea, since the biggest financial backer of Hamas is Qatar and you cant differentiate what country the oil is coming from, my suggestion to you is that you live off the grind and travel with a horse and buggy.

@Jackk, Carter wrote the book calling Israel an Apartheid state and now we are sowing what he reaped, Jimmy always had an issue with Israel and was very open about it, Obama come in a close second as to his dislike of Israel, Trump rarely has an original thought on anything besides Donald Trump and when it came to Israel he let Jared and David Friedman call the shots not a bunch of Arabist in the DOS.
PS I am supporting Nikki Hailey in 2024 and would tell that to him to his face

@AAQ, “But if you want to be meikel and follow your own daas, you can do that also.”
So I guess your always meikel because you constantly deride people who ask daas torah.

@Jackk, Carter loves Israel??????????????? please let me know what your smoking

@ss77, the only thing R Srotzkin care about is feathering his own nest, @Shintzel bigot said it best.

Communism tried making everyone equal, it does not work.

Is Caroline B Glick yet another example “Halomed me kol odom”

there are no navim, so this whole thread is irrelevant.

Bringing up a 10 year old dormant Thread???????????????????????????????

@Damoshe, I once saw Yankel Feferkorn throw eggs at NK demonstrators on 13 Ave, the fact that both Yankels did something does not prove a point,

@Fanatic, you don’t need a prove a motive to indict, all you need to prove with the preponderance of evidence that the crime was committed and the suspect committed the crime,
Motive is just a tool investigators use to narrow down suspects, please take some CJ classes.
PS the word is INDICT.

“As to your questions – of course, people can and should ask for advice. And Torah scholars should be first on the list.”
Good so the discussion is over and we can close this thread or do keep on beating a dead horse

@OP because it would give you one topic to discuss

@OP, Do yourself a favor and log off and speak to a holocaust survivor, they are a few still around, after you speak to them come back and till me if we have problems.

@square root, what shul does Hesh Kesten belong to?

@AAQ, If one realizes that he may have been interpreting something wrong and rather than change being up the subject for purely a discussion basis that is called haking a chinik or stam gerit.
FYI If someone ask his/her Daas torah and is told to do something and that person does so, they have my full admiration even if it conflicts with my hashkafa

@lostpark LOL

@AAQ, my bad I thought you had a genuine change of heart, did not realize you were “stam hocking a chinik” like they say in certain quarters. Do whatever floats your boat, like Amil Zola once said you do your I will do mine.

It’s easy to sit 6000 miles away from the action and criticize, The IDF knows what they are doing, want to help? say a couple of kappitilch of thilim

1. How many toilets are there is BMG?
2. How many toilets are there in Mir?
3.How many cups of coffee does the average person in person in BMG drink?
4. How many times does the average yungerman in Lakewood use lechoreh in an sentence.
5. What the ratio of leased cars vs used cars for bnai yeshiva?

Try the Troller sem under the guidance of the Troller Rebbetzin, I hear it take care of all of the issues you mentioned plus it has an amazing creative writing class.

@Takeh, please put as much emphasis on the other 612 mitzvas as you do on this and then we can talk.

think it’s all about our mindset. I once heard an explanation for why we say al chet for things that were done b’ones. If it was an ones, why do we need forgiveness? The answer was, that sometimes, we do a mitzvah because we have to, and don’t always appreciate it – and when given the chance to not have to keep it, we jump at it. For example, let’s say someone doesn’t enjoy having to eat in the sukkah. If it rains, he might be happy that now he can eat inside his house. That joy is what we need forgiveness for.
So how do we keep our simchas Yom Tov now? I think we need the proper mindset regarding the mitzvah. Yes, we want to eat in the sukkah, and it should pain us to have to eat inside. But remember that our avodah is to follow the halachos – and in this case, the halachah says to eat inside. This is a halachah that we don’t always get to keep. So we should follow the halchah with joy! Not because we don’t want to eat in the sukkah, but because by eating inside, we are fulfilling Hashem’s will!
