REVEALED: The Letter Rav Shmuel Wrote Rav Chaim About the WZO Elections – And His Response
End of story, unless you want to say that it’s forged
Simple solution, ask Rav Shmuel if it’s real
This is the fourth thread basically saying the same question and you’ve got numerous answers on the other thread
I suggest counseling for ptsd
מכות means to hit
מלקות is whipping
They’re two different words
Not exactly
Obama talked down to Netanyahu whereas trump “is bibi’s best friend” and it’s only because of trumps idea that he can talk to Iran which is being facilitated by Witkoff who is so far 0 for 2 (hamas and Russia are still at it)
Damoshe
It’s the opposite
Lubavitchers (and chassidim) sit in the sukkah on shmini atzeres and they don’t sleep in the sukkah so you’re doing like them
Mazel tov!
“Ah, so you don’t know. You mock Chabad for a widespread chassidish minhag of talmidei habaal shem tov and onward, explained by giants such as the Minchas Elazar and others.
And when confronted, you admit that you know nothing about this minhag. All you know is: mock first, question after.“You’re (deliberately?) misunderstanding me
Just because they did for whatever reason doesn’t mean it should be done for ALL reasons
“So because of a Gemara you learned in cheder, you’re ready to mock the minhag of many great tzaddikim and poskim going back to the Baal Shem Tov.“
The onus is on them to explain the Gemara, not the other way around
And to those that say it was written regarding ארץ ישראל only, the Gemara (which was written in בבל) doesn’t say that and additionally I wouldn’t be surprised if Lubavitchers in ארץ ישראל still sit in the rain
Additionally I don’t know the circumstances of those Rebbes who sat in the rain, maybe it was first day of yon tov where one still has to make kiddush so once that’s done they said now that the mitzvah is over I want to sit in the sukkah for a different reason that isn’t because of the mitzvah
“YOU “don’t think”, YOU “think that this is a shtus” – who do you think you are? What kind of arrogance is this?
Did you read the teshuvos of all the great tzaddikim who praised and encouraged this chumra that you call a shtus?
Did you see how the Minchas Elazar wrote about the minhag of generation after generation of tzaddikim from talmidei haBaal Shem Tov who stay in the Sukkah even in the rain!?
Why are you so quick to attack fellow Jews and mock their behavior because you have a general resentment to their group?“
The Gemara calls someone that sits in the sukkah in the rain a חסיד שוטה like a servant that gets splashed in the face by his master and is told I don’t want your servitude
But I digress
Still isnt at 6:26 pm on erev Shabbos parshas pekudei
Ard,
I thought that only has to do if one thinks he’s moshiach
“I wouldn’t categorize Chabad as lenient regarding Sukkah.“
I wouldn’t either, doesnt the Gemara talk about that with a master throwing a cup of water at his servants face? Now I know that there are some opinions that say that’s only in ארץ ישראל but according to others I don’t think that’s considered being מחמיר I think that that is a shtus
“When you vote for a Democrat you are agreeing with their platform“
So if someone voted for trump because of his stance on Israel it means that he’s pro tariffs? Or that he’s pro Russia?
Im sorry but life isnt all or nothing
From Ywn WhatsApp chat
🚨 *NEW:* HaGaon HaRav Kalman Epstein, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Shaar HaTorah-Grodno, has announced his endorsement of Eretz HaKodesh in the upcoming WZO elections.
For those unfamiliar, Rav Kalman founded Yeshiva Shaar HaTorah in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, in 1974. His father, HaGaon HaRav Zelik Epstein ZT”L, served as Rosh Yeshiva until his petira in 2009. Over the past 50 years, Shaar HaTorah has produced thousands of Choshuva Bnei Torah, many of whom are now mechanchim worldwide.
Just last week, Rav Kalman was featured on the cover of Mishpacha Magazine, where he addressed the urgent issue of the shidduch crisis.

100% agree
The thing is that they use it for Florida too
Sorry I just read your previous thread, if we do hold ספיקא דיומא so why do chassidim gebrokt (not sure what Chabad does) on the last day of pesach?
“That was the Mitteler Rebbe”
I guess I was misinformed then, I was told that the last Lubavitcher rebbe made that
Nu, wasn’t the first probably won’t be the last
“Go attack the non-Chabad chassidim who paskened that one doesn’t need to eat in the Sukkah on Shemini Atzeres anymore.“
No one ever ate in the sukkah on shmini atzeres, the reason chassidim (which I am noheg) (it’s not limited to Chabad chassidim) do it is because of ספיקא דיומא whereas litvaks don’t consider it.
“When he blatantly rejects Torah, as Shabtai Tzevi, r”l.“
Like by paskening that one doesn’t have to sleep in the sukkah anymore?
Why did the שכור cross the road?
What road?
“Was the problem that they misunderstood their rebbe’s statement or that they obeyed their rebbe?
Were they meant to say “Our rebbe is not infallible, he must have been wrong in saying אל תהיו כעבדים” – as you seem to be implying in this discussion about Chabad?”
Their fault was that they didn’t ask what their rebbe meant, they thought since their rebbe is never wrong and this is what our rebbe meant to say it must be that this is what he said
Torah is meant to be asked on and not accepted Carter Blanche
“So you agree with me that there is such a thing as accepting a “daas torah” and obeying them unquestionably even when you don’t understand. “
Menachem does have a point, just ask tzadok and beisus, their rebbe said “אל תהיו כעבדים…” and they obeyed their rebbe without asking any questions
And a new sect was formed
Square root,
The same could be said of the republicans (including trump’s first term)
Different communities have different minhagim
The more chassidish the more they do
Is there a mekor for not saying tachnun on Sunday (today)?
Arts roll and the Ezras Torah luach don’t mention anything“Actually, Sesame Street in Iraq may be not bad.“
Aaq,
I don’t think it was funding American Sesame Street I think it was geared towards Iraqis ( with big bird having a suicide vest)
“CA: Zelensky met with members of Congress from BOTH parties before his WH meeting.“
GH (and by extension Aaq) that could be true but I can fairly assume that the democrats talked Zelensky out of this deal with trump and even told him to argue with trump “to get a better deal” whereas the republicans said nothing when Zelensky met them
Extra kneich to Aaq if GH told you not to believe me because GH says I will go lower if you just disrespect me you only have yourself to blame
“But these are different accounts“
It seems (to me) that cs forgot how to log into her account but cs’ last post was a month ago and Chabad shlucha started three weeks ago
Can anyone verify if Zelensky met with democrats before coming to the White House
If it did happen then there’s your reason
“At what point did “CS” become “Chabad Shlucha” and is the same person behind both accounts?”
Cs used to be Chabad Shlucha and then she shortened it to cs and now she’s back to being Chabad Shelucha again
“True, that’s an option. Especially in a very civil, respectful conversation.“
Personally I think this thread has been much more respectful sans אותו האיש 🤫)
Refuah sheleimah wolf, im sorry, I didn’t know…..
“Or 2) I don’t know the answer (I never claimed to have all the answers. That would be absurd.)“
A way to have humility is by saying “I don’t know, I’ll ask and get back to you”
741,
What yankel was doing was goading a lubavitcher to post so the thread can get some life into it (which was what happened) if he didn’t constantly post it would have fallen off and no one would’ve commented (until a few months later or the 4th coming of CS)
It has happened to me too, are you on your phone when it happens?
Very funny wolf
Yechiell,
I’ve shown numerous times how you’re a democrat (you’ve even agreed) wow you voted for a republican 👏 you know good and well they would never win against the democrat who you hold so highly of!
A person that lives in filth doesnt smell the filth he’s in until someone that hasn’t been around it can smell it for him, the same way an outside the swamp person can smell the stench of corruption
Btw dumrepcrat? 😂 you put dumbocrat and just switched bo for rep? Really? But I guess I shouldn’t have expected more
Yecheill obviously doesn’t want to address me because he knows I’ve outed him as a phony dumbocrat
And obviously he’s lying about the “checks and balances” the government is horrible in “checking and balancing” themselves
The shadchanim are pushing the girls to get married younger
They also want to get paid if there’s more than a certain amount of dates as opposed to if there’s an engagement
Yechiell,
Keep on dreaming, republicans aren’t lemmings like democrats
Yechiell doesn’t have any answer so tries to make a joke but it’s on a first grade level
Nothing new here
You guys don’t realize
You will never win against Lubavitch until moshiach comes and he won’t be the rebbe (and will tell them it בפה מלא)
Until then they know that arguments are pointless
“as usual you distort and lie about the truth
an example (re transgender surgeries)No, that is not true (that surgeries performed on children without parental consent)).
In the vast majority of cases,“Wow you’re that far off?
You can’t even tell when you’re contradicting yourself?
“Vast majority” means there is a minority (albeit tiny) which means it is true
If it wasn’t true you would’ve started without those words
“You know nothing about Moshiach and Geula AFAIK (you don’t learn like we do) so your concept of both is probably flawed to a similar extent”
I didn’t know you spell cop out with a CS
And I’ll say it again
I don’t see how your claims are any different than the notzrim
And btw your גאוה is showing (and telling)
“I guess you don’t believe in G-d as the missionary claims he does too“
Jews believe in a different G-d in essence, their G-d had a “son” that is part of their trinity
A svara is totally different but hey I wouldn’t put that past you
“President Joe Biden has implemented several strategies to combat the fentanyl crisis in the United States.“
Like a person fixing a bathroom flood by changing pipes, putting drano and using a snake when in essence all he should have done is turn off the tap
“The idea that they should be allowed to stay here definitively means you believe in open boarders“
Life isnt all or nothing, black and white
Would you agree to staying with a fee (somewhat like a ticket to the speeding driver)
If I believed in open borders that would mean that illegals that committed a crime wouldn’t be deported which is false
“The Rebbe back while not actually DOING it, and litvish sincerely want Moshiach someday sometime, and think he’s some kind of Elvis (whatever that means…)”
No we don’t believe moshiach is Elvis, Elvis died (some people don’t think so) but what we believe is that if moshiach was going to come from the dead (which is highly unlikely) he could be from the thousands of tzaddikim that lived before the rebbe
“It’s like this. Remember Bnei Yisrael protested that the Torah is for everyone and shouldn’t be just for shevet Levi? So as Rebbetzin Vechter put it when her husband revealed to her that he was teaching her TheRebbes Torah, “If this is what I thought I’d go to Gehennom for learning, it’s worth it!!””
Tell that to any missionary and he laugh you out of town because that is his reasoning too
“he’s done so many more damaging things, from threatening to annex Greenland to handing the Department of Treasury over to that African American immigrant running DOGE.“
“He has been handed unprecedented access and control over the government and it’s terrifying. If you don’t think it’s a problem for the president to threaten military force to break multiple international treaties and take sovereign land because it has good resources,“
Neither of those things has damaged America instead as we’ve seen with Canada and Mexico it has helped America and Elon musk has so far cut wasteful spending
Aaq,
Kiruv isnt proselytizing
Ncsy doesn’t try to get people to be “modern”, they get people to be “frum” ohr somayach or chazaq don’t try to make people ashkenazim or sfardim (based on their respective nusach) yet chabad gets frum people to agree with their mehalach (so much so that people that don’t learn “moshiach’s torah, will have to be taught) that’s what I mean by “proselytize“
The problem that I have with “The Donald” is what he’s doing with the illegals, I understand that those with a criminal record should be deported but to say everyone here is a criminal because they came here illegally is in essence true but that’s like arresting people for speeding or holding a phone while driving because they broke a law
Yserbius,
How are those things damaging?
It’s easy to throw out words when they don’t mean anything
