It’s amazing the lengths people will go to defend their actions which are simply based on tremendous weakness of character.

Pot is most definitely assur, dangerous and stupid. Not necessarily in that order.

Any comparison to kiddush wine, a glass of wine with dinner, or even drunkenness on Purim and Simchas Torah, is so ridiculous as to make the motivation for the argument completely transparent.

Agreed but I would add that every intention and every action causes an effect in the spiritual worlds even more than in this world.

Yes, but that doesn’t do any more to answer the question, because I would assume that Hashem re-creates the spiritual worlds as well.

To italicize, put <em> before the text, and</em> after it.

Does this concept come up elsewhere?

Yes, in gemaros referring to havchana – determining who the father is when a woman was divorced or widowed and then quickly remarried.

and ammounces a contest to deligitimize the news media

They don’t need his help. They’ve done a terrific job delegitimizing themselves.

We leanred the Gemara itself and rarely we learned Rashi and Toisfois and those are the only mefarshim we ever learned

Is that typical in Lubavitch?

Also, the Baba Sali used to predict every war in eretz Yisrael. One year, he predicted a war but it never happened. Surprised, his followers asked what had happened. He responded, how was I to know that the Lubavitcher Rebbe would come out with mivtza ois bsefer Torah and thereby push the war into Lebanon?

He could have predicted it.

So the obvious question is why Rav Gershon or some other gadol over the centuries did not provide some equivalent (aka heter shava maohs rabonim) alternative for extreme cases where the husband refuses to provide a get to his wife?? And the obvious answer is…??

The obvious answer is that she is an eishes ish, and 7 million rabbonim can’t change that.

Okay, but you made up a ridiculous explanation for what he/she meant.

A simple piece of advice to the secret keepers would be, “If the shoe was on the other foot, would you be outraged from the other side keeping such information from you?

That could go the other way as well. To the people whose child went out with a nebach mentally ill person, one could ask what would you do if r”l your child were mentally ill?

Judaism is a middle eastern religion

Chas v’chalilah! It’s a G-d given religion (if we can even call it a religion).

Your grandparents from the Middle East were just as likely to have been affected by their culture as people in the Western world by Western culture.

Achashverosh’ sharvit?

I doubt many, if any goyim are on the CR.

There are plenty of women here, don’t kid yourself.

Is being a jerk something for which a person can’t do teshuvah?

Anyhow, if you want to know, the reason why this is such big big deal is because there is great spiritual significance for all the Jewish people here

The reason this is a big deal is because a Yid is free, and he and and his family are b”H reunited after eight long years when it seemed like it would be another 19.

an accurate calendar that is 11 days short of a solar year and that pretends that in chutz learetz we don’t know when yom tov begins

It’s accurate. The chachomim were well aware of the solar calendar (certain dinim are based on it) and put in leap years so that it remains in sync over the long term.

No, we don’t pretend anything, but we do still keep two days. Learn the sugya if you’re interested to know why.

M – see תוספות סוכה מ”ו ע”א who clearly learns it’s a chiyuv on a home dweller.

Neverheless, there’s a תשובה from the מהרש”ם about lighting on a train, saying that it could considered your בית for the night, which should apply to an airplane as well.

This is a barrier to achdus which noone else has to deal with until they come along.

Do you really think your incessant ranting will increase achdus?

I do know some Lubavicher chassidim, and I don’t get the impression that they’re particularly arrogant. Yes they do think their ways are correct. I don’t have a problem with that per se, except for the parts that have veered from normative Judaism.

I don’t know about “holier”, but they do probably have the best nigunim.

Litvisherchossid, as you may have noticed, I’m not exactly a Lubavicher, but your ranting is really way over the top.

Also, using the same reasoning, that if the מעשה חושב and חכמת המשכן had seen the picture drawn by the רמב”ם, they would have changed their minds, you could similarly argue that had the רמב”ם seen all of the evidence, he would have agreed that it was round.

Here’s the piece GAON is referring to:

In 1948, there was no Shabbos Chanukah. It was a Jewish leap year, and Chanukah went into January of ’49, when there was a Shabbos Chanukah.

Chanukah went into 1969

Any further left is outside the frum world.

Rav Gifter made this point regarding a classification made by Rabbi Norman Lamm. I’m not sure how you would know to apply it to TM, though.
