    “Please be Dan Likaf Zechus, it was probably not the first time a girl dumped him if he smelled so bad, and that also explains why he was still dating when a rav”

    I think hes talking about a seperate Rav.

    real gematrias – such as the ones brought down by the Gra and Baal HaTurim for example, are definitely true. In fact, the gra’s gematrias aren’t limited to simply additive ones; he also uses advanced math like calculus. (He has a gematria for Pi from the words of the pasuk describing the dimensions of the Kiyor in Nach – it’s beyond cool). Furthermore, gematrias play an integral role in kabbalistic systems and concepts. There is a science, rules and axioms – ptretty much lost to us today – governing how gematrias work. However, nowadays, we are clueless thus the ones we invent are nothing more than cute shtick.

    As a side note, Rav Henoch Leibowitz ZT”L said that one can say drush as long as the idea or concept being said is true.

    “I know of a chashuv Rav who got dropped by a girl whom he felt was very promising, so he went to the pizza store, bought a whole, UNCUT pie and ate it straight”

    Apparently he wasn’t so chashuv back then.

    “So what about drinking away a bad date or dumping?”

    Thre is a huge difference between eating a whole uncut pizza and drinking. etc.

    “Personally, i think that it’s a wonderful idea”

    Good to know that you’ve mastered shas uposkim that your personal opinon matters.

    “you just need to recover and let loose a little”

    recover, yes. Let loose – show me where there is an inyan to take a vacation from being religious. This is so crum.

    “so it’s mutar”

    i am simply amazed beyond words at your stunning halachic prowess.

    “bishas hadchak”

    how exactly is this a shas hadchak?

    we are unable to comprehend any of the chazals that deal with mashiach as more than concepts – ie we hava no conception of what these things will look like when they are manifest.

    “My theory on business is that if it’s so smart and so easy, then why didn’t someone else do it first. Unless you can answer that don’t bother.”

    Because human nature is a powerful force. Many people are simply too lazy to actually pursue even what appears to be a simple easy endeavor, preferring to instead rationalize why it’s so hard, it won’t work, “if it’s so smart and so easy, then why didn’t someone else do it first”, let the next guy do it, etc.

    “klach: Even granting that we pasken that way for all pesukim, could you please ask your rebbi why he extends that halacha to a Rashi? The answer would interest me greatly.”

    The problematic aspect of the song was the part that came from a passuk. Were the song merely Rashi, there wouldn’t be a problem at all. There are two problems with a passuk – song: 1 – Assur to use passuk of Torah or Shir Hashirim (and, acc to some, all of Tanach); 2 – There is a concept that we don’t like to say half a passuk of Torah, since Moshe Rabbeinu ended the passuk where it was supposed to end, and we therefore don’t deviate in our recitation of pessukim from that, pretty much regardless of context. So a song that either simply doesn’t go to the end od a passuk, or one where the words don’t fit exactly and some are repeated, is problematic.

    “Once Moshiach arrives, I’ll have no need for the tools.”

    Even after Mashiach arrives, we will still be doing mitzvos. Mashiach is not gan eden or olam haba (two very different things in their own right.)

    Ideally the right strap should go to the makom ervah and the left should be a little shorter (ie not quite reaching there).

    The basic steps of Mashiach and beyond:

    1 – Mashiach comes before the year 6000, with enough time to have a bunch of festivals as is clearly stated by many commentaries dealing with how certain festivals will or won’t be celebrated in the times of Mashiach.

    2 – The yearr 6000, the physical universe goes kaboom, and all humanity “dies” so to speak.

    3 – The next 1000 years HASHEM creates a new world that will be Olam Haba.

    4 – Year 7000 – Olam Haba starts.

    5 – Year 8000 – New things are introduced (see weird seforim for more details. Disclaimer: you won’t understand a word of it.)

    Some people are simply brilliant at this. Rav Henoch Leibowitz ZT”L said he knew every issue a person had just from the way he said good shabbos to him after shacharis on shabbos and his eyes.

    “Not as big as some would make it out to be. It is relatively rare.”

    No it’s not – recently, there was a sign out up on the yeshivas bulletin board about this and how it is a big issue more so than people would think.

    not really – they have an achrayus to the yeshiva who is paying them a salary in part to render said services. However, Rav Henoch Leibowitz did have appointments with women sometimes.

    There are many Rabbeim who are far more qualified than any therapist to treat emotional and psychological issues. In CC, for example, there are quite a few Rabbeim who specialize in dealing with peoples issues and have years and years of sucessful experience to back it up. (and almost everybody speaks to them!!)
