People lived in Eretz Yisroel before the zionists.
Don’t confuse Zionism with the mitzvah to live in Eretz Yisroel.
I think that’s a bad guess.
Do they give out peanuts there?
Thete are plenty of reasons to wait, but if it works for you to be in Eretz Yisroel, that’s great. Just don’t think it necessarily has any connection to the geulah.

The physical part is easy. Be”H when the true Moshiach comes, bimheirah, we’ll all hop on the next flight.
Meanwhile, we are all in golus, even those physically in Eretz Yisroel.
Whose judgement do we trust?
ROB, I’m sure he did say that we live in yemos Hamoshiach. I’m even more sure that he did not say that the medinah is Moshiach.
Not clear at all, unless you’re a navi.
Difference is, it’s a spiritual one.
Of course. I can’t believe you think it’s a question. Do you still daven for Moshiach, or do you no longer, because he already came?
Joseph:check the Rambam on X-ianity and islam.
Is your real name Steven Riskin?
The premise of the OP is wrong.
Zionism… is the urgency of returning to our homeland and rebuilt it.
You make it sound as if you think the state of israel is Moshiach.
Where do you live?
Flushing, NY
That’s a great idea, but please answer the question – where do you live?
It was made by the same producer with whom Rabbi Wielgus produced other tapes, but he didn’t produce the Purim Story.
Of course not, she didn’t buy a ticket.
For the worse, probably. B”H I didn’t.
Does she have to give $10 million to Oorah?
Gdovz, who said the husband doesn’t help financially?
Besides, we got such a limited picture of their life, there’s no way to judge. Would you have said the same about Rav Elyashiv’s family?
In other words, mind your own business. It’s not for us to determine who gets what reward.
We’re not discussing real people, so we’re not minding anyone else’s business.
Chaza’l discuss s’char v’onesh; why can’t we? We are not determining who gets what s’char, just discussing it.
I didn’t let myself but
Here we go again… who’s going to make a big fuss about your typo?
Are you a finder or a loser?
I like most of the above (the ones I’ve heard). An underappreciated singer, in my opinion, is R’ Yirmiyah Damen of Belz. I’ve been enjoying his recordings for a long time.
Query this: let’s say a lottery ticket was lost, then used to claim a prize, but the purchaser can prove that he bought it (e.g. video footage from the store, or he took a picture and emailed it). Who would be the rightful winner?
If the winner announced that he found his ticket. You cna bet there will be hundreds if not thousands claiming they “lost” their tickets. And miraculousy ALL of them will “remember” their numbers
Correct, if such a claim would be credible, but it wouldn’t.
The winner probably lives around the corner from the convenience store.
And in the super unikely event that nobody else claimed it.
I don’t know the answer to your question, but I don’t think that’s super unlikely. If you lost your ticket, would you be able to recall all six numbers?
Is that a guarantee that if I buy a ticket, Hashem will help me?

The parent is not the one giving it away.
He specified joy, not effort. Wouldn’t you agree that it generally takes more effort to give away earned money?
It’s harder to give away money which came through toil than money which came more easily.
Yes
I agree with LC.
The OP didn’t specify he knew in advance he would give it to Tzedakah.
Nor did he specify that he didn’t.
All other things being equal (they never are), the one who worked hard has a bigger nisayon. Plus, if he knew he would give to tzedakah, his work was partially for the mitzvah, so he should get more.
L’fum tza’ara agra.
Here’s why it’s so important:

If I win, will I be richer than Rechnitz?
Sam, the jackpot doubles.
Do you think Hashem can’t do something because it never happened before?????
It’s not really a billion, and there are other worthy causes besides Oorah.
I think that in 20 or 30 years Technical 21 will have changed her opinion. It is amazing the wisdom gained with money.
FTFY
I meant from my end, since the post was directed at me.
I guess it’s your choice, but I don’t think you need to be offended. It is undoubtedly true that the percentage of people who can afford to make lavish weddings who do is higher than the people who can’t and admit that they would if they could.
You might be from the minority who would make the same wedding no matter what, but I think CTL’s observation that many say they wouldn’t simply because they can’t afford to is correct.
Photoshop
“Hoping to avoid offense or sounding gauche, those who cannot afford to make large and/or lavish affairs often profess to prefer small, intimate and simple affairs.”
Well, I don’t know about sounding gauche, but you did not avoid offense.
Didn’t offend me.
It’s probably true, too.
