“Just as we have women’s sections with a mechitzah, perhaps we could have one for armed men“
Good idea! So when a terrorist or madman comes in with a gun he’ll be told he’s on the wrong side of the mechitzah and then is directed to the other side!
😂
☕️coffee addictParticipant“I did answer you you said at the entrance. I said no problem with a cop outside the door with a gun. To me that is at the entrance.
You didn’t ask about inside the building at the entrance to a particular room where davening occurs.“Ok to me it isnt and since you understood that before and still haven’t answered the question it proves that you wouldn’t want police inside the shul either
So it’s due to two reasons that you were irked that someone next to you was packing while davening
1) he’s a civilian
2) it’s in a shul☕️coffee addictParticipantAnd just like that none2.0 starts yeshiva (2 weeks ago)

Or a lady reform rabbi singing while half unclothed trying to stop a slaughterhouse
September 29, 2025 11:28 am at 11:28 am in reply to: Why are the YWN tech people incompetent? #2454660☕️coffee addictParticipantHakatan,
My filter is apple white list, can only access Ywn, a hurricane app, and godaven
☕️coffee addictParticipantXctlawyer,
You didn’t answer my question (or maybe you did)
I asked
“Would you be more comfortable if it was a cop at the entrance? It seems like you wouldn’t because “guns don’t belong in a shul”
Inside the shul at the entrance like where people come in to daven
And you answered
“outside the shul door“
In other words im right that it doesn’t matter who’s inside or outside be it police officer, private security, or mispallel
☕️coffee addictParticipant“I wrote I was uncomfortable davening in shul with the person next to me having a gun.
I consider a shul a place of peace where guns don’t belong.“Would you be more comfortable if it was a cop at the entrance? It seems like you wouldn’t because “guns don’t belong in a shul”
“Please don’t twist my words. The fellow davener with a gun in his holster is not using a gun, he is carrying. Whether or not the gun is muktzah is not for me to pasken“
Im not twisting words a gun in a holster is a potential use of the gun
You’re the one who started with the traumatic story in the beginning, you were saying a point in your opener that you kept on going with in your post
☕️coffee addictParticipantIt gets a bugabooboo
September 22, 2025 1:25 pm at 1:25 pm in reply to: Why are the YWN tech people incompetent? #2452913☕️coffee addictParticipantYeah I hate that too and since my phone is filtered I can’t access the captcha until my wife takes off the filter
☕️coffee addictParticipantAaq,
I think you hit the nail on the head regarding the emotional side
IMO xctl was traumatized by his store owner that missed and killed a child, seeing a death (especially unintentional) can do that
In the same vein we say כל הרואה סוטה בקלקולה יזיק עצמו מן היין because he can be like that
So too here I think xctl is saying he feels uncomfortable around civilians using guns even if they’re good law abiding citizens because of an unintended death
☕️coffee addictParticipantMunkatch,
That’s only where the police officers are, everywhere else they drive dangerously and it stops the police from catching dangerous drivers which would really teach them to stop
September 18, 2025 11:52 am at 11:52 am in reply to: Why am I more upset over Charlie Kirk, then the Ten Keddoshim Murdered? #2451447☕️coffee addictParticipant“The murder of Ten Kedoshim happened around 2,000 years ago.“
Square root,
You really didn’t understand that he was talking about the four soldiers and the 6 people in Ramot that died on the same day?
Time to listen to music again
September 17, 2025 9:46 am at 9:46 am in reply to: The Amazing Frum Community We Are Part Of #2450640☕️coffee addictParticipantCommon,
That’s an amazing story! I hope your son got better
September 16, 2025 10:06 am at 10:06 am in reply to: The Amazing Frum Community We Are Part Of #2450343☕️coffee addictParticipant“And of course our level of spousal faithfulness is off the charts.“
Sorry to detract from the flow of this thread, but how do you know that’s not why frum people are getting divorced?
☕️coffee addictParticipantUbiq,
Rav shlomo zalman and Rav Shternbuch said one is allowed to drive to shul on Shabbos if need be? Really? Why wouldn’t it be a מצוה הבאה בעבירה?
Can you please provide sources?
☕️coffee addictParticipant“How about posting immediately for those that have already earned the trust of the moderators?“
Dr Pepper,
There were numerous posts of mine that weren’t approved of in the past due to the way I worded it
I wouldn’t be surprised if other regulars were the same
September 1, 2025 6:12 pm at 6:12 pm in reply to: Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef and the IDF (Israeli Army) #2443691☕️coffee addictParticipant☕️coffee addictParticipantOh and btw his name is יאיר ניסן בן שרה
☕️coffee addictParticipantMlberg,
I saw him recently while shopping he looked well
Btw he writes in The Jewish Home weekly newspaper
August 24, 2025 4:32 pm at 4:32 pm in reply to: Reasons Why Chareidim Cannot Govern Eretz Yisrael #2441546☕️coffee addictParticipantSquare root,
I think you need to start listening to music again
Such hatred and lies (as Hakatan pointed out, but additionally there are news articles praising the work of the chareidi politicians from various daati or cholini residents and politicians)
August 24, 2025 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm in reply to: Are there any limits actually enforced by the moderators? #2441221☕️coffee addictParticipantI have a better question
If the thread isn’t really “moderated” why does it take so long for posts to be “approved” it should either be “all or nothing” in regards to this
☕️coffee addictParticipantwill you, moderator, please remove HaKatan from this forum. Do we really need to hear the neturei karta and the hamas beasts here? No we don’t .
Typical democrat control
You can’t just not allow a post because you don’t agree with it
If that was the case 3/4s of the threads and comments would be deleted
☕️coffee addictParticipantHaleivi
Im saying that they make hamotzi made with water and mezzo is made with fruit juice yet they don’t specify when you buy a ready made wrap what bracha it is
Btw i make hamotzi on wraps too
☕️coffee addictParticipantHaleivi,
You don’t know how deep your question is
I work with wraps and there are some wraps that are Hamotzi and some are Pas Habah Bkisnin and really the place that sells the wrap should specify the bracha (or if it is pas Habah Bkisnin or not)
☕️coffee addictParticipant“On vacation now, headed to Florida“
Stay safe ex-ct! Now starts the peak hurricane season!
“ Flights from NYC were $54 each way.”
with which airline?
August 13, 2025 6:24 pm at 6:24 pm in reply to: Wish I Could write, re Hamas, as well as this guy #2437939☕️coffee addictParticipantWith all due respect the “starvations” of the Germans Japanese or even currently the afghans or Iraqis weren’t broadcast to the world
☕️coffee addictParticipant“What is the status of the offspring.“
Isnt that a שתוקי (from the 4th chapter of קידושין)?
August 11, 2025 3:28 am at 3:28 am in reply to: Yeshivish/Orthodox Shul in Brooklyn Welcoming Non-Frum for Yomim Noraim? #2436352☕️coffee addictParticipantPba,
Is that you?
☕️coffee addictParticipantAaq
“I understand that you mean – Rabbi looks at the demonstrators and says “you are learning” and get same benefits?“
Yes, is there a problem with that?
“That is making things even clearer: after consulting and having a milchemes mitzva, Yehoshua is still told that he needs to learn – at night, after fighting. Not that you can do one of them and Hashem will count. Not that you can even have one group fighting and another shteiging.“
How do you know that everyone went to fight?
August 10, 2025 9:45 am at 9:45 am in reply to: Yeshivish/Orthodox Shul in Brooklyn Welcoming Non-Frum for Yomim Noraim? #2435817☕️coffee addictParticipantCommonseychel knows of one, I can’t remember the name but I think it’s under the Brooklyn bridge 😂
☕️coffee addictParticipant“And, according to your opinion, it is possible for a gadol to declare that going to the Army is equivalent to learning?
Then, I suggest 2 approaches:
1) follow RZ gedolim
2) respectfully approach your gadol and ask whether he is amendable for such declaration l’ darkei shalom. Maybe, just a tryout for a week before end of bein haazmanim.“Aaq,
We don’t go “gadol shopping” unless that’s your type of Yiddishkeit 🙄 and it seems like “דרכי שלום” seems like what the daati rabbanim are doing agreeing that they’re not obligated to go to the army
It seems like a lot of people on this site are all or nothing type of people either sit and learn 24/7 or go fight
☕️coffee addictParticipantWhy don’t you call volove?
☕️coffee addictParticipantAaq,
“you suggest transformation between different substances upon Rabbi’s decision?”
Can you rephrase that in simpler English?
“When malach told Yehoshua that he came because Jews were not learning during the war – Yehoshua could just say that when I order the fight, it counts as learning?! Or why he did not designate bnei Levi to sit and learn?“
I don’t think Yehoshua was the same scenario because he could’ve asked the urim vteumim and that was a milchemes mitzvah
☕️coffee addictParticipantWelcome back square root of 2! How have you been?
☕️coffee addictParticipantAaq,
Thanks for teaching me the Halacha
☕️coffee addictParticipantI second Martin’s statement about personal preference
Each singer brings his own style
☕️coffee addictParticipant“Despite my own remark, I don’t think this is a halakhically valid argument.“
I don’t think embarrassing someone that wouldn’t get embarrassed is like killing him since the blood isn’t draining from his face
☕️coffee addictParticipantFrumwhere,
I highly doubt Joe is getting embarrassed by this thread his skin is too tough to get embarrassed by an unknown person on this site
☕️coffee addictParticipant“To Yaakov Yosef A
You’re such a nice guy. I wrote my weekly Dvar Torah this week on the subject of rebuking other Jews. Thousands of people read me including some very prominent Rabbis.“
“Sechel is correct that I misspoke that time out of ignorance. I am the first to admit that I am very far from a Talmid Chacham and so it’s quite possible that I can make a mistake“
?
August 4, 2025 1:18 pm at 1:18 pm in reply to: Help finding that app for maximizing CC points #2433491☕️coffee addictParticipant“fake, the issue would be – taking advantage of someone. Seller is not allowed to overcharge more than 1/6, but so does the buyer.“
That’s only Jewish run businesses
☕️coffee addictParticipantSorry Joe,
Just saw this
“Coffee Addict: So America is Christian, since they shut down government offices on Chrsitmas?“
It’s more Christian than Israel or Egypt
☕️coffee addictParticipant“He says “there’s not a Jew in the world who deserves punishment” that does not mean there is no שכר עונש”
So if a person gets “punished” he’s telling Hashem that the person doesn’t deserve it? He knows better than Hashem?
☕️coffee addictParticipant@fake,
My thoughts exactly
☕️coffee addictParticipant“coffee, thanks, but I am still reaching for the navi. There are a lot of features of tlamid chacham mentioned in the gemora that I view as a criteria“
Aaq,
I never said you were a TALMID chachacham, i said you are a CHACHAM which anyone can be (חכמה בגוים תאמין) the saying חכם עינו בראשו doesn’t only apply to Torah
☕️coffee addictParticipant“I am a Navi because I can predict how this discussion will end: everyone will stand firm at their original opinion.“
Aaq,
You should have called yourself a חכם because as שלמה המלך said “חכם עדיף מנביא”
July 29, 2025 12:54 am at 12:54 am in reply to: Moshe Rabbeinu criticizes 2 tribes for not wanting to fight for the Land #2430691☕️coffee addictParticipantWow yechiel and Aaq posted the same shtus
Did you guys fight?
☕️coffee addictParticipantIn feldheim’s translation of מאמר הגאולה from the רמח״ל quotes the מלבים (in a letter to Rav Tzvi Hirsh Kalischer) that the Jews will gain permission from the great leaders of the world to have ארץ ישראל then they will settle there , then Moshiach will come
It seems like the tziyonim are going according to this malbim
☕️coffee addictParticipant“First, what source in Torah do you have that makes this a meaningful distinction. Is your implication that a government that keeps Torah law is a “Jewish” government? So, which governments are the ones keeping more Jewish law?“
You obviously don’t understand what makes something more Jewish than something else
Hakatan wrote
“bottom line, there is nothing “Jewish” about the zionist state, certainly nothing more Jewish than New York State or Lebanon.“
To which I replied
“I don’t think NYS or Lebanon shuts down their buses and their government offices on Yom Kippur”
I didnt compare Israel to NY or Lebanon, Hakatan did, i didnt say Israel is a Jewish state im just showing that it’s “more Jewish” than Lebanon or NY
☕️coffee addictParticipantI love how Lubavitchers have to turn themselves into a pretzel
They take all these proofs that moshiach can come from the dead but argue on them that it HAS TO be their rebbe as opposed to whoever the other person is (anyone should pick the besht over the rebbe)
☕️coffee addictParticipant“bottom line, there is nothing “Jewish” about the zionist state, certainly nothing more Jewish than New York State or Lebanon.“
I don’t think NYS or Lebanon shuts down their buses and their government offices on Yom Kippur
