Mostly agree but it should be noted that water is also toxic.

I personally think it is not yoshar, it depends on how Halacha defines mechack tous, the reason these credit card companies give these points is a insentive to open and spend with there credit card, not opening and closing cards, and calling up to get one time courtesies etc…..

lesschumras:

My comment was only lechumera, why a rishon or the Gemara in this case is not a proof for gebrochs is ok to eat, as the matza they ate and we eat are very different.

1 – Please look up shair emunah of the mitteler rebbe,
2 – what do you think betten means ?, when we write to the rebbe we write on the first line Ana liorer rachamim rabim avuri…
3 – you can watch the rebbe give dollars every time someone thanks him for a bracha he gave them, he says don’t thank me thank hashem

P.s
You sound more like you have an agenda.
rather then caring about yedishkeit, you are using this for your own stupidities

Here is another story to make this idea more clear ( there are many similar stories)

Reb Mendel Futerfas was the spiritual mentor of the city of Kfar Chabad in Israel. But in the 1940s, he was imprisoned and finally exiled to Siberia by the Soviet government. His crime: teaching and practicing Judaism.
On his birthday one year in Siberia, Reb Mendel longed to celebrate in the Chasidic manner by gathering with one’s friends, making an account of the past year and good resolutions for the upcoming year, and by having a private audience with the Rebbe.

Reb Mendel’s only “friends” in Siberia were the boorish Cossacks and political prisoners with whom he was exiled. A Chasidic gathering he could not make. But what he could do was to have a private audience with the Rebbe — in his mind.

Reb Mendel made the customary spiritual preparations for the communing of his soul with the Rebbe’s.

He then pictured himself writing a note to the Rebbe with all of his requests for blessings for the coming year. He imagined himself giving the note to the Rebbe and the Rebbe reading the note.

Then, in his mind’s eye, the Rebbe assured him that everything would be well.

Reb Mendel felt encouraged and strengthened.

Years later, when Reb Mendel was released from Siberia, he joined his wife and children who had meanwhile moved to England.

One day, as Reb Mendel perused the correspondence that his wife had received from the Rebbe in his absence, he came across a telegram.

The telegram’s date was the day after Reb Mendel’s birthday, years before. The Rebbe had sent Mrs. Futerfas a telegram to notify her that, “I received your husband’s letter…”

No distance, physical, spiritual, or medical, can separate a Jew from the Rebbe.

(a slightly different version: Years later, after he was released and united with his family, his wife showed him a strange letter that she had received from the Rebbe. The Rebbe had written her several letters but all were addressed to her and this one was addressed to Rav Mendel although he was in Siberia far from home at the time.

He read it and also at first didn’t understand, until he noticed that the date on the letter was the same as his birthday six years ago, the same day he had imagined his ‘Yechidus’. When he read it again he saw that it
contained answers to all the questions he asked, in the order that he had asked them. The Rebbe was with him.

Your snide comments are uncalled for.
No one says he is all knowing.
Here is a story to give you a better picture.

A men came to the frierdeker rebbe and said his son wants to go to Israel, the frierdiker rebbe answered he should not go.
The son was angry his father asked the rebbe and went anyway, on the way his boat sank.
The father came crying to the rebbe way did you not tell me that the ship will sink, the rebbe answered believe me I did not know the ship will sink, only that his neshama was not meant to go to eretz yisrael.

I heard once
that the yisomim of the town would go around collecting money.

Chabad is still in shita against Zionism
But to clarify a little there is two aspects to that changed after 1948

1 – as Jews we need to support any Jewish community in the world no matter where it is, including eretz Yisrael

2 – 1 – once the yidden have control of eretz Yisrael we have not right to give it away, and giving it away is against Halacha
As it is a gift to every Jew from hashem.
2 – giving away land will only cause more violence, and when an enemy comes and tries to fight even just to steal straw we are Obligated to fight them even on shabbos ( citation needed )

3 – right now the madina as a whole is not fully shomer Torah umitzvos, the best thing we can do is work to change that and make the whole country shomer Torah u mitzvos, with a big enfaces on education of the young children.

( a non expert opinion )

As a general rule, we do not eat” cholov stam”, I am 99.9 percent sure he would not eat it

So you heard some shmutz from a few people who unfortunately where hurt,. there are plenty of “geshza” who do not marry geshza, and in every community there are families who feel they can only marry other special families sometimes right sometimes not, and many times it’s a religious consideration, they want there child to have a very chasidisha home, I do not see anything wrong with wanting the best for your child.

As a Lubavitcher, I agree with syag, although we are chasiddim I usually do not think when people say chadimdim they mean Lubavitchers.

But it cannot be eaten together

Big deal

The reason the reassurance does not work many times is because it is a lie to this person, that is where the expectance comes in, understanding the danger the person was/is in danger allows the person to deal with reality, I think here is maybe the mistake of thinking that bitachon tells a person to deny reality and just say your safe even thought they are not.
Bitachon has many aspect to it.

Here is an extreme example
A man sees a child fall out of a second floor window, this event does not leave him and he is horrified by what he saw, now when he sees children even next to a closed or gated window he gets nervous. So the root event is logical it is now where he associates these other events that although safe and illogical bring out many of the same feelings.

In real life it usually is more complicated

It is not a contradiction one can only heal if they take personal responsibility, yet the fact that one comes from a broken home plays a huge role in there drug addiction, and when the child understands this it can really help them heal.

Also this concept of a broken home damaging a child is said in many places in Torah, here are some of them.

Rosh to Nedarim 66d
Brachos 7b
Milachim a6

It is not that simple to say the army is against Halacha, you may say kivush haaretz is against Halacha maybe but that is a different discussion.
