    Sefardim didn’t have a yeshiva system like there were in Europe. Porat Yosef was revolutionary for the sefardi world

    UJM yes but the people of Vietnam fought them with guerilla tactics. The US didn’t win. Vietnam is still a communist country. The US mission failed.

    Of course there have been Jewish individuals who were physically strong but by an large it’s not our main attribute. We just learned this past pasha that there’s a dynamic הקול קול יעקב ביד וידים ביד עשיו.

    Yes. It’s an injustice that boys yeshivas don’t teach Hebrew. Yiddish isn’t the mama loshen anymore.

    Would they pull the hechsher if the owner doesn’t pay his workers fairly or cheats on his taxes? It shouldn’t be agenda based.

    Physical strength has never been an attribute. When they were righteous Hashem helped them win wars and conquer Israel. Since the exile our might has diminished.

    It can be avoided if you live in a very sheltered and restrictive life in KJ or New Square which isn’t the practical really for most people and don’t have any business activity beyond that

    Philosopher: so how would you handle a client who’s convinced he’s a different gender than he was born with? A therapists job is to help people cope, they aren’t rabbis. A person can get a therapist from a religious perspective and one with a secular perspective.

    Jackk there were Jews who were very instrumental in bringing in bolshevism and shutting down yeshivas across Europe. There were Jews who were willing informants for the church. There are self-hating Jews in high power positions in every generation who do have control.

    Avirah a Jew who never puts on tefilin in his life is a karkafta. While he might not have the right daas or do the mitzvah properly it’s better than no tefilin ever. How many people do the the Lakewood establishment yeshivas reach from the outside and make them religious?

    Some of the “issues” that Democrats make up shouldn’t be mainstream issues. Democrats support every abomination. They push being trans as mainstream. They think it’s a good idea to have draq Queens at schools. The Democrat way of everything is make more legislation thus creating new problems.

    No it hasn’t happened this slowly in the past. The races were confirmed on election night for the most part. The FBI is run by deep state Democrat operatives of course they won’t look into it.

    How are we still having so many races undecided? It’s not logical to believe that they’re counting ballots that are being misdated. If the elections aren’t being outright stolen by Democrats, there’s room for distrust in the system. It should be a law for the sake of real democracy and trust in our system that ballots not coming in by mail on election day shouldn’t be counted.

    No I don’t think the narrative that everyone in the shtetl was learning in kollel is living in reality. We’re supposed to learn from the flaws of previous generations, so as not to repeat their mistakes.

    The Goyim also swore to be peaceful to us. We’re allowed to defend ourselves. And no shtetls aren’t a mandated golus. It’s an old system where the Royals and nobles own the property and say where Jews are allowed to live. And had more people moved to EY earlier more would have survived the Churban Europe.

    Usually, abuse is learned behavior from someone a person trusts e.g. family member, rebbi but they know it’s wrong and such a thing is unhealthy to the development of a person. Anxiety develops as a result and can affect many different aspects of a person’s life.

    Maybe the money was made illegitimately in other ways. Noticr they don’t say which daas Torah advised him. Many yeshivas and other Frum Jewish causes took donations from mechalelei shabbos.
