the good names were already taken

the back of the beis

I’m not the one relying on the miracle the Israeli Government is, they don’t know it’s happening therefore they’re the ones relying I’m the one knowing (meaning which, I can’t go into the army (I’m not Israeli anyway) without a gun saying there is a miracle going to happen, the government does it’s hishtadlus whatever that is, draft no draft, 10,000 people willing etc and then they aren’t relying on miracles

does that make any sense?

thank you sam and mdd I already stated that

(I know you can’t rely on miracles, however I still believe they WILL happen)

however they are not relying on nissim I think it WILL happen, therefore however many people are in the army for various different reasons will not affect the arabs OVERRUNNING EY unless Hashem really wants them to (it’s like telling the chasmonaim not to fight)

But what will also happen is the reponsibility of being the majority, If 75% of the population is Charedi and wont serve, Lets assume a good chunk of the other 25% wont serve either (If “They” wont serve, than neither will I) Do you really think that the 25% of the non-charedi population will serve 100%?

Even if a law is passed that all non-charedi MUST serve, Its likely that the 25% of the non-charedi population will either dodge the draft or just leave the country

or be given incentives to serve (like we have in America) which is we’ll pay your college plus tax incentives for those that served

secondly, I believe EVERYTHING that happens is in Hashem’s will (regarding something like this) there have been numerous outright nisim in whatever war we have had (I know you can’t rely on miracles, however I still believe they WILL happen) therefore even if 100 people serve in the army if Hashem wills it EY will be saved

haifagirl,

it’s a machlokes

the reason I want Moshiach to come is b/c I feel the world is upside down, and the reason for that is Hashem’s hester panim.

If they are 75%, you cant assume that the 25% will work like dogs , serve in the army and do whatever the majority will want without a fight.

At 75% you will need charedi doctors, Charedi bus drivers, charedi construction workers, charedi farmers , charedi policemen and charedi soldiers etc.

ok, let’s take it that there will be 75% chareidi, and let’s makke it a given that the chareidim won’t serve in the army unless drastic measures are taken (no women singers shomer shabbos, shomer kashrus badatz) the only other option is that there will be an amendment to the law that you don’t need to work in the army in order to get a job

do you have any better ideas? (and no, cutting funding, etc will only make it worse)

additionally when it is 75% of the population then they will elect a religious cabinet that will implement something totally drastic

I am not taking out of thin air that Charedim will be the Majority of the jewish population, the demographicers are saying that and considering that Charedi Families have 10 kids or more and non relgious generally have 2 or less and and Dati-Leumi have 4-5 Kids.

They estimate I think 2050-2075 is when they will be the Super Majority

I see you misunderstood my question

you made a deduction that since they will be the majority (which I agree on) then more responsibility comes with it (which I don’t agree on) (see what I brought about women still being considered a “minority” even though they are a majority in the US)

oomis

you remind me of something my ry wife said to me when i was starting to date and gave her a list of what i was looking for in a wife, one of which is that she “thinks” and she told me youre not going to find one (which im understanding to mean that they are few and far between) so if it was true that she is intelligent then yes i would work

mdd

let me explain something to you

Israel has fought numerous wars over the course of it’s short history and most of it’s wins are miraculous, the chilonim didnt need the bachurim then and instead said it was b/c of kochi v’atzam yadi

the reason dovid, moshe and yehoshua needed an army is because you still need to do hishtadlus (its like saying why did they need to go to work in the times of dovid hamelech, it must mean Hashem doesnt provide for them)

sorry, but I don’t either

all these stories with dreams, I think, are Bubbemassehs

it’s also a cool type of sneaker

I don’t think its right for me, and not interested in wasting this guys time

@seedys

thats strange because we have a rule, amirasa l’gvoah k’miseerasah l’hedyotand vthat rule applies to tzedakah pledges even if its for an ad

additionally, mention that Hashem doesn’t let people into Gan Eden if they break a pledge (I don’t know it that helps though)

PBA,

you still didn’t answer my question,

and anyway if you really want a heter I can tell you that since the group you were in didn’t give chashivus for saying Tehillim (they sand HaTikvah before it) then you didn’t need to either, so you wouldn’t need to be Yotzei Min Haklal

I wanted to eat nuts and shmooze with my brother.

don’t you mean you wanted to BE nuts

Notice also, how it was my brother’s wife and not my wife who got on my case. My wife knows better.

did she get on your brother’s case too? (I’m guessing not, b/c she knows better too)

When we open the door on seder night we are opening it up for Eliyahu hanavi

I actually know of a chashuva family that has someone dress up as a “ghost” (Eliyahu Hanavi) right before Shfoch Chamascha

You are not permitted to say lashon harah about yourself.

(I know the story of the Chofetz Chaim)

I actually heard that the story was made up

I don’t think so (I could be wrong though)

he’s a person that regretted doing a mitzvah therefore he gets no schar for it

try working in a kitchen during a heatwave without a/c, I was sweating every 10 minutes

I just posed the question if using the holocaust as a reference to personal pain is fair.

the question came from an assumption that that was what she was saying we’re trying to pose a different inference from her words
