    Good to know,

    It depends on what is a noble cause

    To the frei tziyonim judicial reform is bad so opposing it is good and whatever is done to do that is good, whereas religion and Torah is bad and whatever is done to further that is bad too and whatever is done to counteract it is good so not wanting to be counteracted is bad

    Isn’t it a Gemara in brachos that neshamos don’t care about what goes on down here?

    And additionally what is this about davening that a neshoma helps, davening is to Hashem in the merit of the neshoma

    Now my question is if chabad is effectively Christianity with black hats why hasn’t there been someone like Paul (I think he’s the one that made Shabbos on Sunday) that veers it off from yiddishkeit

    “4) Having a business decide who lives and who dies Is as you said “wrong, I agree””

    Ubiq,

    So it’s better for the government to decide “who lives and who dies”?

    My son can’t be a jc (junior counselor) in camp this year because he will be 1 month short or 14 when the second half of camp starts

    He wants to work so he can make money
    We want him to work because it will teach him responsibility
    The camp wants him to work because he used to be a camper and they know him

    This is what is probably being permitted in Arkansas, not forced child labor like the democrats want you to believe

    This question my son asked me on Purim (I don’t have an answer to it) during yeshivas Mordechai hatzaddik (so I wasn’t drunk yet)

    רש״י says צומו עלי was י״ד- ט״ז (probably from a Gemara or medrash) so if that was the case בסוף שלשת ימים was ט״ז but in the הגדה at נרצה says that נדדה שנת המלך was the first night of Pesach so how does it work out?

    “MBachur: How did you not throw up? My husband tried everything, but every year he throws up, and I can’t take it. I don’t mind when he’s high… but it’s not worth it afterward when he’s throwing up and feeling sick like a dog.

    One thing I can’t understand is how they do it again every year. I understand the first time when you don’t realize what’s coming. But after feeling so sick, how can one bare to drink again. (And it’s not like he dreads it, he gets excited every year! How do I remind him what it felt like?????“

    Sorry I’m twelve years too late in answering

    “Im sorry i dont understand what you are trying to say“

    You said

    “it is not coming from insecurity. if a bunch of modern orthodox people just show up in a yeshivish shul, it is one hundred percent warranted that people wouldnt want to start socializing with them.“

    So I said “But I’m dressed yeshivish”

    And you’re right, I can’t base a chassidus off of one random chassid I’m just saying that it reminds me of something that happened to me which I feel was the “shpitz shtultz”

    “CA: The kehila in Klal Yisroel that is the most anti-“shtultz”is Satmar”

    You reminded me of a story that happened to me when I was younger

    I went to be מנחם אבל someone in Boro Park and afterwards went to a restaurant to eat so when I got my order over there I went to a table to sit down, then a few minutes later a chosid (not sure what type, I didn’t ask him) sits down opposite me (with his food) so I commented that שנים שישבו and now we were יוצא (because that is a הלכה) and he stared at me with this shtultzy stare and then kept on eating

    I want to be clear

    Shultz isn’t specifically for high schoolers (or even beis medrashers) I have been places where NO ONE comes over to a new person that started to daven in their shul/Kollel, not the Rav and not any of the other mispallelim

    This is what I call shtultz, when no one is gores anyone outside of their circle

    One time I went to a Young Israel, on the other hand, and when no one said shalom to a stranger the Rabbi got up and made an announcement because of that

    “Coffee, comparing the yeshiva worlds shtultz issues to modern orthodoxy is like comparing a blood test with an amputation.

    MO is rife with institutionalized sin and heresy.“

    Saying that the Yeshiva world doesn’t need to be fixed because MO is worse is like saying you don’t have to go on a diet if you’re 30 lbs overweight because there are people that are 50 lbs overweight

    It’s like saying that someone doesn’t have to quit drinking alcohol because his liver isn’t as bad as someone that has been drinking for decades and his liver is worse

    If you always look at other people’s problems you’ll never fix yourself

    Joe,

    You forget that wars fought over territory is binding if the other side retreats (look at Russia with Ukraine) now that is part of Israel and UN can’t say no, if that was the case Russia has to give back whatever they captured and good luck with getting them to do that!

    A bunch of things in support

    1) I’ve heard it quoted from the תלמידים of the גר״א that כלל ישראל in ארץ ישראל is משיח בן יוסף and לאו דווקא will משיח בן יוסף die if they live past 5771 which is the ראשי תאבות of the פסוק in אז ישיר “אמר אויב ארדוף …״ until אריק so that makes sense with what geulah time was saying

    2) Amnon Yitzchak has said that the world will go crazy until the year 2030 (you can find out his predictions on YouTube) and he said some interesting things that will happened beforehand

    “If the UN vote permitting a State is binding, then the UN votes partitioning Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, with Jerusalem being an international zone, (and future UN votes demanding Israel leave the Arab zones) is equally binding.“

    Britain agreed to the vote so that’s why it was binding

    Israel doesn’t agree to the subsequent votes so therefore it’s not binding

    I was in the same boat

    I got an MBA from Keller (an online college) and didn’t go for a CPA, no one wants to look at me due to having no experience and really whatever experience you have is more worthwhile than the degree

    I think going for a CPA is if you want to work in a place like Roth & co.

    I think you are playing down the Palestinians abilities

    They have captured soldiers and the soldiers went into the lion’s den where the terrorists can shoot from roofs etc. they went in the middle of the day and they gave a warning beforehand

    I’m extremely surprised no one got even injured especially if there were hundreds of Arabs surrounding them
