Get racists like Biden out of the US Government!
Make America Great Again!
PRAY THAT DONALD BEN FRED WINS THE ELECTION!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!
I don’t live in NYC, but logically, getting money for schools is more important than having rights to play in playgrounds. If you’re already paying taxes to NYC, bout might as well get some benefit from your own taxes. Logically, just sitting this out is logical.
Now, besides that, there is a wicked double standard I do not like when people have the right to go on planes (which is a small space) but not shuls (which can be much larger). The Corona pandemic is being used by the secular elites as an attack on our traditions.
^True.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Nefesh Ha-Chaim isn’t an ancient book while the gemara is literally ancient teachings. The gemara is not clamming to literally support Anarcho-Communist extremism. In fact, democracy is not necessarily a Jewish value.
The cases for allowing abortion don’t come up that often. Most abortions in the world are forced, and goyim can not take a life with leniencies that apply to saving Jewish women. But again, I repeat that you can’t have a government built on leniencies that are based on rare situations. Even former abortion “doctors” do not claim that there were actually any life-saving operations done from their sins.
Also, on a sociopolitical note, if you brainwash goyim to murder their own children, they’ll murder our’s. That already happened in many countries, and the idea that you can’t see the long-term damage done by heavily promoting such a leniency. Sometimes, a nation has to be stringent.
P.S. The political party that overtly promotes abortion also promotes sexual immorality.
There will be new world order when the mashiach becomes king of Israel. The evil elites are trying to create their own kingdom but will ultimately fail.
We already live in a morally torn society where abortion and sexual immorality are normal. Americans look down upon families with many kids, the food is unhealthy, and you can’t watch most TV channels or hear appropriate lyrics on popular music radio. These evil animals already influence this place.
I am late on this, but Americans and Canadians have a higher standard of living. Therefore, the neighborhoods cost more.
1. You don’t have to feel like you should marry her after one date.
2. You need someone who is emotionally compatible with you.
3. Some shadkhanim are unreliable.
The last comment is true. Morroco and Tunisia aren’t as heavily involved in the Islamist ideologies that are affecting countries like Yemen. Pakistan is somewhat more influenced by the English-speaking world (given its history). They’ve had some respectable leaders that wanted to make Pakistan more decent.
However, the original post would practically make sense for Oman. The Sunni-led gulf states have an incentive to seek help to deal with the Shia-led Iran.
Saudi Arabia has also undergone some serious changes in the past decade, so their kingdom’s historic anti-Jewish sentiment might decline with the rise of some newer leaders.
I’ve been doing more introspection due to spending more time alone. I was able to note what mitsvos and middos I need to work on.
The actions of Bill and Hillary are not the same; Bill was not in the Obama administration.
Kennedy was the last Democrat to do anything special for us since the Post-1948 world. However, he was killed while in power. The other democrats’ since him were not that great even though Bill Clinton pardoned many people. However, Obama had his entire administrative era to pardon Rubashkin. Obama was generally weak with Observant Jewish people.
With Trump, Orthodoxy is on the spotlight (which would be good for our future even if it means very little now), and America has a better relationship with Israel (which matters even if you’re not a Tsionist since most Jews live in either America or Israel).
Harris is not ideal because she’s generally progressive. Biden is mentally unfit for office, and Trump is at least doing a better job than tat Bush, Clinton, Bush 2, and Obama. If I’m voting this year, I’m voting for Trump.
#MAGA
They don’t support him [either] because he’s an idiot who’s not qualified to run or doesn’t have any good policies.
NYC has been a broken and corrupt place for ages. The culture of Non-Khasidic Yidden living in Brooklyn is limited to only a small number of places. It’s over. Queens is pathetic too! And Manhattan is more modern for my type. If you’re a Frum Yid living in NYC and plan to stay in America, you have a better option in the Greater Lakewood Area (including Jackson and Tom’s River). You also Frum communities in or near other cities like Philadelphia.
I don’t think Hashem wants me to move to NYC.
I haven’t left Ocean County since I came back to it after the recent Pesach week. I don’t intend to move there, and don’t see why anyone would. Maybe there’ll be some Lubavitch enclave still at Crowned Heights, but even that crowd will move out.
Trump is not as much of a pathetic looser as modern-day Democrats.
For goyim, hostility to Israel invites open hostility to Jews. The Left opened the doorway to it. The Left openly supports the secularism of America and wishes to make it bigger.
To Sam Klein. I am criticizing them in a constructive way. The Jewish community needs to seriously consider teaching musical theory. I learned it, and it has help me not steal Goyish niggunim for a Jewish-lyric song. FFB people need to learn music if they are taka going to play!
FFB people aren’t privileged with musical theory classes that teach people how to write nigunim.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
בתי תפילות
וישבותAre back to normal
Most are
Restaurants are not.
Obama is evil and masks it with a nice personality.
China can get away with things that Israel never could.
Trump is already critical of China as a whole.
And Chinese Muslims helped China take over the Uighur region.
I didn’t want to go into detail during the heat of the debate, but I did want to share some thoughts.
I would like to add that I was not born into a Khareidi or Dati family (though I am now involved in a Yeshivish community). Currently, I do not identify as part of the Tsionist movement even though I did before I became Shomer Shabbos. I only identified with the word “Tsionist” back when I knew little Torah and had a developing interest in identifying as a Jew. I became less interested when I became aware that the Jewish religion is the crown of the Jewish Nation and essential in the preservation of nation. I guess identifying with a word like “Tsionist” is just as logically irrelevant as whether or not someone identifies with any other “-ist” or “-ism”.
There were Yidden making Aliyah in the Pre-British [colonial] era. The Rambam was, at on point there, and there was the khevra in Tsfas. The Khassidish and Yeshivish/Litvish sub-cultures of Ashkenazi Yidden have well-established communities in Eretz Yisrael. So do Sfardim! The user “Rational” did have a good point by saying this wasn’t battled out generations ago. If there was, then there would have already been commentary about it.
The Gemara in Kesubos actually claims that the 3 Oaths are really 6 Oaths. The gemara in Kesubos also claims that one who makes Aliyah should make the opposite of Aliyah.The gemara also claims the following:
ת”ר לעולם ידור אדם בא”י אפי’ בעיר שרובה עובדי כוכבים ואל ידור בחו”ל ואפילו בעיר שרובה ישראל שכל הדר בארץ ישראל דומה כמי שיש לו אלוה וכל הדר בחוצה לארץ דומה כמי שאין לו אלוה שנא’ (ויקרא כה, לח) לתת לכם את ארץ כנען להיות לכם לאלהים
The Rabbis taught: A man should always live in the Land of Israel, even in a city of which the majority are idolaters, and not live outside of the Land of Israel, even in a city where the majority is Jewish. For whoever lives in the Land of Israel, it is as if he has a God. And whoever lives outside of the Land of Israel, it is as if he has no God. For it is said (Leviticus 25:38): “to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.” -Kesubos Daf Kuf-Yud Amud Beis.
How can one choose not to live in Israel when there are [ברוך השם] many Khareidi communities one can live in? BeUrBest claimed that it’s different which makes sense. It’s surely not like America; it’s surely not like any other part of the world. Toldos Aharon is based in Israel. Other good rebbes live in Israel too. I don’t understand why many Jews practically worship New York. Shouldn’t the trend of moving to Lakewood at least signify something?
Someone interested in learning an entire concept should learn not just one part of one sugya but the whole thing. It’s not like every Pre-Tsionist Rabbi was historically against Aliyah. However, some people have tried to manipulate and amplify a specific hashkafah in order to make it look like that.
I am also upset that “holier than thou” people have openly misused (if not abusted) the 3 Oaths and misued the words of the Satmar Rebbe and Brisker Rav. I’ve only heard the words “Satmar” and “Brisk” being in the same paragraph in reference to Tsionism. However, I was never told by [most of] those who oppose Tsionism that living in Israel is literally a bad thing to do. I’ve ironically met a Tsionist who doesn’t believe he is ready to make Aliyah.
During the Corona Pandemic, I realized that it can be hard to live anywhere, so why not live in the land that was meant for us? My interest in making aliyah is dominated by rukhnius. There are more people there interested in rukhnius. The Israeli people that are “Kharedi” take Yiddishkeit seriously. Marriage is a holy thing, and for my type, it is better for shiddukhim. The secondary motivation (which I did not learn untill after applying to make aliyah) is financial. Certain schools have subsidies. It’s not like America (which is too big and diverse to have Israel’s socioeconomic system). You don’t have to be a money-chasing animal that has to take up a lucrative career. I intended to make Aliyah in the true way – which implies making it without the intent of leaving. That is the true Aliyah.
P.S. I did call Tsionism a “physical” reason to imply that it is secular and should not be seen as Kadosh as the mitzvah of living in the desireable land that Our Father gave us. Politics is part of the physical world just like economics. It’s בעצם secular.
And as a late and irrelevant comment to “Rational”: tucking in tzitzit doesn’t make someone not Frum. It would specifically depend on the reasons why one tucks it in.
Simple Answer: The outside world doesn’t like us.
YOU CAN MOVE TO ISRAEL WITHOUT JOINING an apikorisdig movement that opposes Yiddishkeit. You can settle there without having to be DatiLeumi.
Hashem knows what is best. SYAS was not working for me after a 2 years of being a member. It may work for modern-leaning people who prefer w matchmaker. It is not psychologically healthy for a man to constantly be seeking women.
It is a Mitzvah to live in Israel.
One’s interested in making Aliyah shouldn’t be dominated by physical reasons like the Tsionist movement. It should be dominated by the spirituality of the holy land. “Spiritual reasons include the kedushah of Erets Yisrael and it’s kehilos.
I wouldn’t kind raising a donkey in Israel. I wouldn’t mind harvesting grapes in Israel. I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my life in Israel.
I support any arm that’s protecting over a million Jews (even if it’s an enemy country like the USSR).
Goyim have the tendency to violently oppose us, so sometimes, an armed group of defenders is a necessary evil.
7-11 isn’t owned by a Yid.
WOW.
Phone-Dating is still a thing.
I was already doing that even before Corona season.
We haven’t hit Lag B’omer. Who knows? The משיח could come before the 33rd count of the Omer, and we could all be in Israel.
1. You are part of the Jewish Nation, so being involved in the theological complications involving Catholicism is not allowed.
2. You need to go to the communities that have more converts like Atlanta, GA. These places also have many Ba’al Teshuvah people.
3. I am a Ba’al Teshuvah, and I found a way to “fit in” while still having a sense of self. However, Judaism, like any community, requires an understanding of one’s collective existence since no religion is individualistic (including Catholicism).
4. Catholicism means “universal”. They are trained to accept converts, but that doesn’t mean they are on the our side. They are on their own side.
5. Many people have converted and integrated into certain communities.
6. Don’t be fooled by the “Hasidic Jews accept converts mentality” because they’re just following certain Mitzvos that there culture has. They might not be open to the stuff that many Yehudim are into. In fact, it might make sense for you to be in a Yeshivish or Kiruv-oriented Synagouge.
If you are all on your own properties, it’s fine.
Keep on the Social Distancing.
Stay away from the Red Zones (areas where the Corona Virus is high).
In America, I may have to abstain from dating in or near NYC for a time.
You can still have a phone date or be Dalet Amos from the woman.
Perhaps Frum people need a wake up call no to be Fake with Frumkeit.
I just davened with a physically spaced-out outdoor Minyan. It felt so special and satisfying to daven with a minyan. That’s not something I normally feel. The mere ability to do a mitzvah has become special.
Sometimes we take the little things in life for granted. We don’t even stop to think of what we truly value.
Exactly.
Some fake frum people obsess over how much they don’t like Tzionism but seem to ignore the tragedy of Communism. The average American Jew doesn’t know what it’s like to be scared of being put in a Siberian Concentration Camp for KEEPING SHABBOS.
I find Western Jewish culture to be embarrassing in what it chooses to hashkafically oppose; it makes no sense!
