With 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
☕️coffee addictParticipant“Garters separate the head from the lower part of the body, and some have thicker heads thsn others …. anyway, a tie fulfills the minimum requirement.“
Aaq,
Does that mean the same holds true for thicker ties?
☕️coffee addictParticipantSechel,
A common misconception is that רוח הקודש is נבואה, really it is a step below it
The Gemara says that kids and שוטים have רוח הקודש so we see that never left
☕️coffee addictParticipantWelcome back ry23!
☕️coffee addictParticipantThe news likes to hype stories
July 23, 2025 5:21 pm at 5:21 pm in reply to: Intergenerational Trauma: The Post-Holocaust Generation #2428927☕️coffee addictParticipant1,
I personally think there is the opposite effect
Since the holocaust generation didnt have food they more or less force fed their kids and that made their kids entitled
Just my humble opinion
☕️coffee addictParticipantSeems like German new is a bot
☕️coffee addictParticipantI would like to know where the parents were before they took him out of the school? Did they try to teach the kid how to deal with “a bully or bullies” did they show they were on his side every step of the way?
Additionally I find it highly unlikely that Chaim will get punished for what he did as a kid in elementary school and instead the parents who said “kids will be kids” will get the punishment
My kid got bullied and we went and dealt with it and taught him to stick up for himself when the other parents said kids will be kids
☕️coffee addictParticipantSo besalel,
Why can’t they claim that this is “proof” that we’re not real Jews (according to Muslims)
☕️coffee addictParticipantAaq,
Are you saying the only “good goyim” are those that had some shaychus to a Jew?
☕️coffee addictParticipantBesalel,
Thanks for enlightening me to what the Quran says (I’ve never looked inside one) but doesnt it say also that “a rock will say a Jew is hiding behind me” or something like that? Isnt that talking about in Israel?
☕️coffee addictParticipantWhy is us living in eretz yisrael a disproof to the Quran any more then us not living in eretz yisrael until 1948 wasn’t a disproof to the Torah
☕️coffee addictParticipant“I thiojnk, good middos is the only sure sign of good yihus, and opposite – of opposite.“
Aaq,
Im surprised you would say that!
You don’t know of any goyim that have good middos? I highly doubt that!
☕️coffee addictParticipantI think doom was the only one to answer Joe’s question
☕️coffee addictParticipant“First I’ll buy the cotton-picking machine that was invented more than 100 years ago by the yankees.“
מה שקנה עבד קנה רבו so your money isnt yours and your master would probably rather have your $100 and have you pick cotton
“Second, I’ll request you share your last pillow with me al pi halocha.“
That’s only if he was your master, which I don’t think your ancestors were slaves of Joe’s
☕️coffee addictParticipantMobico,
You’re puns are really getting my funny bone moving
☕️coffee addictParticipantI like mobico’s answer
It got me to smile
☕️coffee addictParticipant“Golus is defined in Tanach and Gemara as location based.“
“I am in Eretz Yisroel and I am NOT in galus.”
Obviously not because of galus yavan (like I mentioned before) and the 400 years of mitzrayim started with Yitzchak who lived in eretz yisrael
But believe whatever you want
☕️coffee addictParticipantJoe,
Bayit thinks (like most if not all of religious zionists do) that ראשית צמיחת גאולותינו means that we can’t be in galus if we’re in a state of geulah
☕️coffee addictParticipant“What are you trying to prove?“
Eval,
Joe is trying to prove that anisraeliyid (like a lot of Israelis) are mistaken that one isnt in Galus if he is in ארץ ישראל
☕️coffee addictParticipantI don’t know why this is even a שאלה
When the Jews were in ארץ ישראל during the second beis HaMikdash when you had מכביים for kings in t was called גלות יון why is this any different
☕️coffee addictParticipant“ If after he is elected, I guess a new election.“
Deputy Mayor becomes mayor? Why would it be any different than if Adams was thrown out by hochul?
☕️coffee addictParticipant“Biden-the steady”
😆😂🤣😆😂🤣
June 30, 2025 8:46 pm at 8:46 pm in reply to: How Should Israel Thank the United States for American Military and Economic Aid #2419971☕️coffee addictParticipant“its funny how people dont even respond to fandango“
Ard,
Im starting to learn that too
😉
☕️coffee addictParticipantJoe doing what he does best 😎
☕️coffee addictParticipantNone,
I don’t think the Jews relaxed when Haman rose to power
