People view mussar as I’m bad and mussar helps me work on my middos to be a good person
People view the 12 steps as I’m spiritually sick and the 12 step will make me spiritually healthy
“Why are you learning mussar from 12 steps when you can learn it from sifrei kodesh, from tzadikim who are experts in Jewish middos, and the fight against the yatzer hora. Why go to something designed for mentally ill individuals??“
It’s a lot easier to accept mussar if one thinks he is sick as opposed to being bad
“he’s the one who is taking psychology and using it to form a derech in mussar and milchemes hayetzer. What works for addicts is psychology and yes, above my pay grade.“
One can learn a lot of mussar from the 12 steps
Wow ujm,
I would have never known you watched the wizard of oz but anyways I think she’s more like the knight on the bridge in Monty Python (which I never watched just heard about)
“Even if showing early signs of dementia, at least Biden kept his promise to be “boring” since I really believe Garland is running this investigation w/o any WH input.“
I have a bridge to sell you GH and I’ll even give it to you for half off
Sorry, it can’t be the second one that was for Jan 6
Syag,
I don’t follow
Wasn’t the reason for the impeachment trial “quid pro quo”
Not sure what you’re talking about
If trump used the FBI to go against Hillary or against Biden through his son I think the democrats would be ok with it
Oh wait, wasn’t that what the second impeachment was about? That he was going against a political rival?
“Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing [subject to the Presidential Records Act], that willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined” $2,000, up to three years in prison or “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”
Did you say the same thing when Hillary destroyed her emails? Hard drive?
What are road trip minyanim?
Worse was done in Russia against a Putin rival (he almost got killed and then they put him in jail) and there was no condemnation
Isn’t there a Mishnah in chagigah that says the chachamim told hurdos not to cry because he’s a brother (i know it was to make him feel better, but wasn’t there something that his mother was Jewish)
Sorry yabia he isn’t a troll
To answer the OP,
Rav Shmuel kamenetsky
On
You mean with a cloth?
Don’t want to start a new thread and don’t know which thread it should go in so I’m putting it here
I saw on Arutz sheva that Zionism started with n tisha bav
Take what you want out of that
I think if a rich Baal tzedakah publicizes his donation it shows that the mosad is worth giving to, just because baalei tzedah are rich doesn’t mean that they give money to any and every thing so those people are showing that it’s worth it to donate to this cause
“The point is for free expression of ideas, I have no issue expressing my beliefs, and when I ask one what his belief is and he wont answer something is strange.“
I asked him the same question about believing that the Rebbe is moshiach and he answered me
Yes, my name is based on the Gemara (ירושלמי ברכות פ”ב ה”ד) that says that Moshiach’s name is Menachem.
(וכ”ה באיכ”ר פ”א, נא. משא”כ בסנהדרין צח, ב דשם גרסינן מנחם בן חזקיה)I chose this profile name for two reasons:
1) Since my name is actually Menachem (get it? מנחם שמו?)
2) It’s nice to remind myself about Moshiach when I’m online (every word makes a difference – “צריך כל אדם שיראה עצמו כל השנה כלה כאלו חציו זכאי וחציו חיב. וכן כל העולם חציו זכאי וחציו חיב . . עשה מצוה אחת הרי הכריע “את עצמו ואת כל העולם כלו לכף זכות וגרם לו ולהם תשועה והצלה see Rambam Hilchos Teshuva 3:4)“henceforth it is proof that the rebbe can be moshiach?”
Maybe I’m trying to prove that I can be Moshiach…
[Regarding the names of Moshiach listed in Sanhedrin, the Rebbe’s father Reb Levi Yitzchok writes that all the opinions are true – כל הדעות אמת הם ואלו ואלו דא”ח (לקוטי לוי”צ על מארז”ל ע’ קו)]Maybe he doesn’t want to turn his thread into a debate about the rebbe just like you told him to start a new thread so really what difference does it make
Commonsaychel,
So to paraphrase a former First Lady that lost to the 45th president
“WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE”
House 250
Senate 53And the democrats deal with manchin will only exasperate it
“My suggestion – Joe Manchin. He is already holding the partial Presidency for 1.5 years and everyone except Progressive (40% of Dems?) are happy with that.”
From YWN WhatsApp group
In a startling turnabout, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Joe Manchin announced Wednesday they had reached an expansive agreement that had eluded them for months on health care, energy and climate issues, taxes on higher earners and corporations and federal debt reduction.
The two Democrats said the Senate would vote on the wide-ranging measure next week, setting up President Joe Biden and Democrats for an unexpected victory in the runup to November congressional elections in which their control of Congress is in peril. A House vote would come afterward, perhaps later in August. Unanimous Republican opposition in both chambers seems certain.
Just hours earlier, the expectation was that Schumer, D-N.Y., and Manchin, D-W.Va., were at loggerheads and headed toward far narrower package that Manchin was insisting be limited to curbing pharmaceutical prices and extending federal health care subsidies. Earlier Wednesday, numerous Democratic senators had said they were all but resigned to the more modest legislation.
A democrat is a democrat is a democrat
Then I guess the question is who will more easily turn on us a frei yid or a non jew
Lakewhut,
Do you know how people contract monkeypox?
Menachem,
May I ask, is your name based on the Gemara that says moshiach’s name is Menachem, henceforth it is proof that the rebbe can be moshiach?
“ymr: They looked up to me and tried to emulate me.“
This is the funniest line I’ve seen today
Another interesting observation is that commonsaychel didn’t call the person a troll and is actually trying to help a newcomer
If it wasn’t for the aforementioned comment I would’ve thought I’m in a parallel universe
“Do you view Joe Manchin as a “profile in courage”?“
Amazing question
However I know the answer already
“No”
“She is a profile in courage, one of the very few on todays political scene. I disagree with her on many issues but can’t help but respect her for standing up for truth, justice and the American way.“
In other words “she has a vendetta against trump and I hate trump, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend”
Reb eliezer,
You sound like someone that believes in flat earth
Great!
Write her in on your ballot
Ujm,
Trump wasn’t mentioned
Rightwriter,
There is winds and cloud covering involved too
No
The sun goes closer and then further away as the year goes on
“The murderer and the gun are together responsible as this parable“
Are you saying people can’t get killed other ways? (Ie car, knife….)
Ujm,
So Acs wouldn’t be called and kids taken away if a parent hits their kid in public?
Yeah I saw that (the first part)
Why are schools different than parents?
Ujm,
😉
And Reb eliezer agrees with it!
Democrats are מרחם when it comes to bail reform so it’s understandable that they are cruel when it comes to abortions (or even to arresting a bodega owner)
It all comes from the same place
Wow, I never knew that
Interesting
כל המרחם במקום אכזריות סופו לאכזר במקום רחמניות
The reason being is because it comes from the same place
“Maybe if more people recognized the pain of these suffering youth, we can do more to actually prevent these acts“
I think instilling in them fear of G-D and authority would prevent it too
Joe,
It’s more than what the goyim will think, it’s what the goyim will do (put the teacher in jail) if you’re not afraid of that then do something that will get yourself arrested, you’ll understand
