Always ask questions,
It’s fine if you don’t see him unclothed (you wait outside until he gets dressed then he sees you go in (I know someone that does that)
Reb eliezer,
So if someone understands the Torah later on he can change how we follow the torah?
“Takmidei Chachamim don’t modify the Torah which will not change with time but as times require can modify creation. “
What about the Gemara with the story of תורה לא בשמים היא where Hashem said “my kids beat me”
I’m surprised the Rav didn’t use the mikveh himself (and take his son along for the same reason)
Do you want current or old (pre covid) stories?
Thank you iyk,
I don’t know how to deal well with praise (I have my own demons to take care of)
On the topic of R Akiva’s emotional pain he got up from the deaths of his 24,000 talmidim while not questioning Hashem and accepting that כל דעביד רחמנא לטב עביד whether it was physical or emotional
Everything, and I mean everything, happens for our benefit (Hashem is the טוב ומיטב לכל and absolutely nothing happens outside of His will)
Iyk,
I never said (or even implied) that you were on Rav Akiva’s level, what I am saying is that Rav Akiva shows one can still have a close connection to Hashem even with pain because you should always transform the pain into “ how is this going to help me grow”
That is the point of life, to grow as a person (both spiritually and emotionally) and if Hashem is giving you that pain he’s the one that knows you can grow (and hopefully will) grow from it
Nothing happens in this world by chance and everything that happens to you happens FOR you (the ל means both to and for)
Reb eliezer,
It seems like iyk is emotionally allergic to kosher food
Reb eliezer,
And if the person is allergic to kosher?
IYK,
I think R Akiva disproves what you’re saying
He was able to see Hashem’s Goodness through his “pain” (fox leaving the heichal, saying אחד when he’s being killed, כל דעבד רחמנא לטב עביד)
To everyone (except for IYK)
אל תדין את האדם עד שתגיע למקומו
Additionally,
גדול עבירה לשמה ממצוה שלא לשמה
It seems like IYK is doing עבירות לשמה what does that mean? To come closer to Hashem as opposed to doing mitzvos because that’s how he was brought up (I’m assuming iyk is a he as opposed to someone else that assumed iyk is a she)
I have heard in the name of Rav Avraham Twerski that if an addict needs to make a call on shabbos or Yom Tov he’s allowed to because that is פיקוח נפש the same can be applied here
Iyk,
I see all the pain you are going through and I’m sorry for that and I’ll try to pray for you to get through it
There are a few things that I’ve learned so far in life
1) you can only change yourself
2) people that can’t or don’t want to see that are spiritually sick
3) they need your prayers and blessings
I hope this helps you through your journey of life
You also have to add all the overhead (on addition to the mashgiach for the product and the mashgiach for the store
Ujm,
And I know the cost too (I’m a mashgiach myself) and I know a mashgiach that gets paid 100,000 a year and that’s in a supermarket
Ujm,
And how do you know that? Are you involved with hashgacha?
Ujm,
I didn’t know uniforms have a mashgiach presiding over them to make sure they’re kosher, or that there’s a vaad that takes their dues biyearly
Wow you learn something new every day
?
I don’t remember what I wrote
But anyways if you were editing you should have changed changed to charged
I don’t (if I did I would use it also) but I think it’s stupid to charge so much (especially in regards to Hamodia where it’s mostly news which you can get online anyways, they started changing $15 a month when it used to be $79 a year)
edited (sorry)
“Chashmal, a type of angel, was used to become the word for electricity by yehudah leib gordon sr”y“
Doesn’t it mean lightning (which was how electricity came about)?
To add to health (who sounds like what Rabbi Miller would say)
The Torah says לעולם בהם תעבודו just in case you don’t know לשון הקודש, לעולם means forever, no ifs, ands, or buts
“and what would be the rational of such a thing?“
Mostly an assumption because I haven’t seen it done in the CR, but also I thought it had to do with being anonymous on this forum
I never said that, I just was always under the impression that we don’t advertise our “business” on this forum
Lostspark,
I’m in the same boat (except for the fact that I bring it into the room where a work (which happens to be a fridge more or less)
29,
Is the CR a place for free advertising because if that’s the case, I know a good ……
“CA, I was being sarcastic.“
That’s easy to tell in your writing (I’m being sarcastic if you didn’t know)
Also Reb yid,
We were forced to accept תורה שבעל פה
Avi,
What does it matter how it’s said, look at the message and don’t divide us into sfardi ashkenazi chassidish….
Remember it’s the three weeks
Reb eliezer,
But goyim weren’t given תורה שבכתב either
What’s the chiddush?
Bilaam viewed Hashem like any other AZ, it was meant to serve himself and the only way he will get something from Hashem is if he gives what Hashem wants (karbanos) which is why he tried 3 times with karbanos
But the reason one brings karbanos and davens isn’t supposed to be like that it’s supposed to make one close and realize that Hashem doesn’t have to do your will instead you are supposed to accept Hashem’s will and that’s done by “coming close” (הקרבה) to Hashem
Philosopher,
The midrash says “multiplied by 210 years”
Baltimore maven,
Don’t you mean cicadas
“No, it doesn’t.
Except in the Crazy Woke World.
Since almost the beginning of this world – there were Slaves.
So generations have changed, but once you were a Slave doesn’t entitle to you to get money for it.“Uh…. We got “reparations” technically from מצרים look at the midrash
Participant,
You said you believe in reparations, philosopher is blasting that by saying reparations can’t be paid because you don’t know who’s ancestor was a slave and who was a landowner etc
🤷♂️
I don’t live in San Francisco
“to be honest I think reparations make sense. that is, the amount of unpaid work blacks gave should be paid by those who owned them, or their estates.“
Participant,
So you want to give land that we “stole” (hello, Manhattan) back to the Native Americans?
The Irish, the guy said, were also slaves in America
Participant,
I think San Francisco is more woke than LA
Yesterday I heard someone say it best
America is turning into a lunatocracy (this was said in regards to the pc culture and reparations for African Americans, once you start with them you have to give to the native Americans because “America stole their land” and the Irish because they were slaves too and the list goes on
And this was from someone who isn’t Jewish
Manhattan
“Today I created a conference call and let the car warranty guy talk to the fake Social Security enforcement agent.“
My father in law messes with the warranty and social security people by not giving a number in his “social security” or “credit card” and makes up a fake name
No problem 😉,
I actually missed seeing ry23 and I’m glad he/she stopped by
Philosopher,
I suggest you look at rebyidd23’s other threads and comments
Philosopher,
You obviously haven’t met rebyidd23
What type of dance lessons?
You would think so many people voted for a guy, at least half of them (ok a third) would watch his inaugural state of the union

To add to health’s comment
Ehud barak was also a defense minister it doesn’t mean anything
“I doubt there are any honest posters on this thread.“
במומו פוסל
Not sure why there has to be a dig at posters over here, but hey I guess it comes as second nature to some people that aren’t comfortable with themselves
