A better question is why don’t people try to work through a marriage (such as yankel who couldn’t even last 7 days) why do people rush to divorce?
“The ACA (Obama Care) was instituted recently, what have the Republicans done for the poor?”
One three letter word
J O B S jobs!
Quayboard,
Let’s ask the question further
Why does Hashem make stillborns isn’t that נעמה דכסופא?
To answer both I think the answer is that there’s no נעמה דכסופא where the person isn’t able to get it himself, the כהן & לוי can’t own land and just like the stillborn isn’t able to do mitzvos
To be fair I’m not sure what to say about an עני I would need to think why an עני isn’t נעמה דכסופא but I don’t think the guy wasn’t working, I think he doesn’t have land to work for some reason
In your case if he has land and decided not to work it would he be entitled to מעשר עני in someone else’s land
Unemployment (at least recently) has been a reason not to work (why should a person work and get less money instead of collecting unemployment)

“Why can’t I be critical of views that I don’t like and praising of views that I do like, no matter who it was that said them? “
Because most people aren’t like that
I didn’t hear a peep from republicans when Trump out our soldiers from Afghanistan and when he said we’ll be out by May but when Biden does it the scream that it’s going to be a vacuum
Then I’m sorry I’m not clear
A person shouldn’t be judged on how little he (or she) does, as long as it’s done with the right כוונה
As long as your כוונה is right you are doing a good thingQuayboard,
Good point
However the Torah doesn’t base מעשר off of income it was a flat tax which republicans agree to and תרומה of 1/40-1/60 isn’t based on wealth either but rather how much the בעל הבית wants to give
I’m not saying the תורה is democrat or republican rather a mix of both
“It is the biggest level of tzadaka to train one in job skills.“
Hashem is the biggest מטיב and the reason he created this world is so that we don’t have נעמה דכסופא (handouts, sorry don’t know how it’s spelled)
Reb eliezer,
Care for people? Like providing abortions for African Americans instead of teaching them the right way
Or maybe you mean like the Taiwanese who China has been persecuting (and the nba doesn’t want to step on China right?)
Or maybe they care for the people that couldn’t go to shul (and if that was “caring” then they didn’t care about the rioters getting the virus)
They for sure didn’t care about the store owners who’s businesses got looted
Do they really care about the kids being brought in by drug cartels to be left in who knows where away from their family? (I’m not going to be more graphic)
The Democrats only care about THEMSELVES!
But hey believe what you want, it’s a free country (which will probably change soon but for now it is)
Well said
So all news is basically opinion and not really facts because facts means אמת and there’s no bias to it
🤔
“With guns though, their primary purpose is to be used to defend oneself from other people with guns. Hence why gun control may be the solution. You know, like most developed countries.“
The reason that gun control works in other countries is because they don’t have a constitution that allows gun ownership
“And that’s wonderful. But it also has nothing to do with me. I’m not competing with the Gedolim to see who can accomplish the most in the least time.“
You’re deliberately misunderstanding me and you know it
You don’t judge a person on how little he (or she) does, as long as it’s done with the right כוונהI was going to start a new post but I would rather piggy back off of this
Why are people so biased one way or the other
If you ask the lefties on this site they’ll say this is from project veritas who is part of qanon and you can’t believe it
People have an opinion and they watch(or listen to or read) things that support that opinion and if they come across an opposing opinion they will just say it’s wrong (or fake news)
Why is that and what changed in order for that to happen (religion more or less is the same thing)
Wow I only started posting in the CR in November 2009 (even though my screen name is older than that) and I wasn’t even on the CR when this topic was posted!
And then afterwards I didn’t even post that often!
(I think I had a life back then, can’t remember it though (or maybe it was due to phone capabilities back then 😉)
CTLAWYER,
👍
“38,000 gun deaths in a year in the US: Who needs gun control?”
More than 100,000 fatalities via car crashes, ban cars too!
I echo syag,
And jackk if you want to know what the Democrats slogan will be it’s KAS (just in case you can’t figure it out it stands for keep America socialist
In 4 months we’ve had
The cancellation of 6 dr Seuss books
The all star game moving out of Atlanta because Biden said so
A mass flood of migrants to the border (two terrorists were caught how many went through we don’t know, and the VP who’s supposed to be overseeing it has been awol from the boarder)There are more but this is what you wanted?
Give me a break! Or as joe would say “cmon man!”
Oh and while I’m at it why hasn’t ha made a state of the union address (and don’t tell me covid because the house has been in session they’ve all been vaccinated for months already, or at least should have been)
Wolf,
There are numerous stories of gedolim that “steal” 5 minutes a day to learn something where in the end they make a siyum called a “5 minute siyum”
“Thank you, but in reality, it’s not that big of a deal. It literally takes me no more than three minutes a day.“
So what? How many people say even one perek of tehillim (besides the שיר המעלות that everyone says)
Akuperma,
So what? He created the chicken first and the egg is considered ירח אמו until it comes out (look at ביצה that doesn’t consider an egg anything until it comes out)
Little froggie,
I always figured you were zeeskite
(I can’t figure out/never seen the others)
Anything
We say בשביל לי נברא העולם if there was no reason for them in regards to us they don’t exist
😊
Rabbi feiner (Rav of the white shul in far rockaway) has an excellent 5 minute talk about it on TorahAnytime which I think people should listen to
“worth noting that this is the official company policy whether each individual flight attendant is familiar with the policy is an entirely different matter. I would print out their policy to show them and keep your doctors note, completed form and Negative Covid test handy“
I would say the same thing cover all your bases (and keep your camera rolling for when they make a stink)
Just to clarify I don’t say it on shabbos and Yom tov
Thanks 29
Oh I spelled it k’eyleh instead of ka’eyleh that’s why I couldn’t find it
What a difference an “a” makes
I can’t find the k’eyleh thread
I’m surprised no one has bumped it yet (but then again maybe no one else found it either)
Wow wolf!
יישר כח!
I only say one perek of tehillim from that day’s set (along with ממעמקים & אשא עיני) and there are some perakim I haven’t said because I tend to choose short
Mostly normal,
There are shuls that still have a mask policy, and there are venues that aren’t opened yet
But it is a big improvement from last year
IYH next year will be a big improvement over this year in that we will bring קרבנות with the בית המקדש and משיח במהרה בימינו
Sounds like Abie Rottenberg’s book
“A woman puts on a wig, not very comfortable in the summer, just for the benefit of the men as the woman can pray in her own hair.“
Sorry for the late reply
A tichel (snood) would be just as comfortable at plain hair and I don’t think she wearing it just for her husband
I totally agree with that
BH my Rav did because I got it one time (that’s how I know) so I switched it to kosher retzuos (I can tell these are kosher, they’re different then the one I had before)
Do you know for sure that they say black and black is pasul even bdieved? If so please quote where you know this from
Seichel,
I guess you know more than Rav Gifter’s son in law
🙄
Wow,
My Rav emeritus (R Yaakov Reisman) has been talking about this for YEARS and you’re just hearing about it now?
Just FYI it’s kosher bdieved if it’s black on black
Ujm,
When I said “Additional round” I didn’t mean another election, I meant if there’s no winner then they go to the candidates who are out of the race and find out who their voters chose as second place
In far rockaway we held elections for our city council and in first round balloting Pesach Osina came in second
We’ll see what happens with the next round but I’m not getting my hopes up
Ctlawyer,
Yoshke was one Jew whereas this is Jews in general
Always ask questions,
Florida didn’t lock down as much as New York (to put it lightly) yet have less deaths
Sweden didn’t lock down and their deaths didn’t skyrocket
To really answer you
Our cause and effects are switched
“You sound like it’s Not a Half Dozen eggs, but it’s 6 eggs!“
You’re the one who started!
I said “פרעה made the work harder in מצרים that also brought the geulah”
And you said “ Not really.
Hashem didn’t really change the time of Geulah.
What he did was change the 400 years to 210, because he made the work much harder!”I don’t understand the comments saying merrick garland will stop anti Semitism when there was a basketball player that said anti Semitic statements and garland didn’t do anything (granted the nba did, but the statement above was about garland)
“Because Hashem changed it to 210 years because of Hard Labor.
We were supposed to have 400 years of regular labor, but if you make it Much Harder, you can Condescense the time.
It came out to 210 years!“How about saying it like this that Hashem gave us hard labor to take us out after 210 years (according to one way of learning, according to the other way it started from Yitzchak)
May I point out a person decides if he wants to give 1/40, 1/50, or 1/60 for peah so it’s his choice ultimately which bracket he’s in
Health,
Come again?
“Et tu Coffee Addict?“
No one said he’s moshiach and where פרעה made the work harder in מצרים that also brought the geulah
