    New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and wide receiver Julian Edelman paid tribute to the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting victims during the team’s visit to Pittsburgh.

    Kraft flew into the city early Saturday to visit the synagogue where a gunman opened fire in October and killed 11 people, according to the NFL Network. He also attended services at Rodef Shalom and accepted a rabbi’s invitation to speak to worshippers. He spoke partly in Hebrew, the NFL Network reported.

    Edelman, as part of the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” initiative, wore cleats honoring the victims. He posted a photo of his cleats on Twitter with one shoe featuring the Tree of Life synagogue logo and the other featuring a Star of David and the hashtag #StrongerThanHate.

    She isn’t Senate majority leader. She’ll have a good view of the speech, though

    1, I thought you were smarter than that

    from wikipedia

    A formal invitation is made by the Speaker of the House to the President several weeks before each State of the Union Address.

    and it’s taken from

    “Speaker Boehner Extends President Obama Formal Invitation to Deliver State of the Union Address”. Speaker Boehner’s Press Office (Press release). January 11, 2011.
    “State of the Union 2015”. Speaker Boehner’s Press Office (Press release). December 19, 2014.

    Yes we know that. (Although there are stories where people asked for promises from various contemporary Gedolim / Rebbes and were told if you want a promise, not just a Brocha, you can only find that by lubavitch. Don’t know if this is helpful because I don’t know by heart where to find it amongst the thousands of others, I just remember the story itself. But as it’s relevant I thought to mention.)

    Let me guess where you can find this story(ies)

    In a Lubavitcher Sefer/book

    Annie has dutifully forgot that they were still in the year 1941 where medical treatment wasn’t that great and insurance companies didn’t exist as much as they do today. Biz and Annie get to the hospital and the hospital promptly takes care of them, however seeing that Biz’s hand is all swollen amputates it. “That’s it! It makes total sense now! Baruch’s hand was probably injected with rattlesnake venom!” Annie takes out her cellphone and promptly dials her sister.

    In the Kavannaugh hearings, the Republicans had the exact same herd mentality. Even Republican women that understand the gravity of the accusation voted for him.

    I provided factual info on the amount of $ given to Israel the last year President Obama was in office.

    I love it when Democrats attribute things to Obama when he shouldn’t get that much if any

    Congress (republican at that time) decides how to allocate money the president just signs it

    Coffee – How would you know if he was Moshiach Ben Yosef and Not Moshiach ben David? Simple – he was killed.

    That’s not what I said or asked

    This is what I said

    Why couldn’t it be built by משיח בן יוסף who’ll be killed and משיח בן דוד still stand on it

    Because you said

    Thus, the correct reading is “Im Lo Asa Kol Zeh (and he’s dead) OR EVEN IF he did do all those things (build the bais hamikdash etc) but he was neherag, he still isn’t Mashiach, because he was Neherag.

    (This answers up the rambam with the Gemear of Anavim (the famous song): How could Moshiach stand on the bais hamikdash if in order to built itwe need a king, and if a king builds it, he’s Moshiach? The answer is that the king built it but he was killed. Hence, he wasn’t Moshaich.)

    And to laskern,

    I don’t follow what you’re saying

    coffee addict, we have to satisfy both since Aisov has to fall in the hand of Yosef but Moshiach comes from Dovid. We have to build the Beis Hamikdash together with Moshiach on which will come the one from fire.

    I’m saying the בית המקדש coming from fire is already built in שמים through our מצות and moshiach will come with it

    But if we’re not worthy we have to build it with משיח בן יוסף who died and then משיח בן דוד takes over

    Sorry I’m using my phone to reply so can’t see what I’m writing so clearly and other people’s comments

    Yeshivishrockstar,

    Why couldn’t it be built by משיח בן יוסף who’ll be killed and משיח בן דוד still stand on it

    Alternatively why can’t anavim be talking about where we’re worthy for משיח and he comes with a ready made בית המקדש

    Seichel,

    You want to know why the rebbe didn’t make a successor?

    The lubavitcher rebbe was the 7th rebbe and that corresponds to the 7th ushpizin (דוד&משיח) so there can’t be one!

    Cs,

    Ahh, but אחר used to be עלישה בן אבוי׳ who we quote in פרקי אבות and went off the derech because he couldn’t keep the level he was on (פרגוד) and he taught ר מאיר before he went off

    Everyone (I think) believes the rebbe was normal just the question is “did he go off”

    And that’s aside from the fact that it’s halacha that you’re not allowed to doubt your Rebbe, and if you do youre doubting Hashem. Hilchos TT 5:5. Somehow I don’t think people here will refer to the Rambam as an oved az cvs

    So ר׳ מאיר should have followed אחר?

    No, she decided against it, she hated her mother in law (like all good daughters in law should, shouldn’t they?) “after we get the snake let’s kill all those cursed Japs!” She exclaimed loudly “I bet O’Keefle is part Japanese too and if we kill his ancestors then he can’t win the race and shoot you!

    Biz likes the idea and they’re off to find as many Japanese people as possible.

    To add to my previous post I think my memories wouldn’t change my future (and my present too) which I feel is what matters in life

    The past is gone therefore unchangeable the present or future can be changed

    Take the birth of my oldest, I fed him first with him looking up at me with those baby eyes, how does that affect my life right now? It doesn’t! Do I love him any more than my other son who I didn’t feed first? No! So this good memory has no bearing on my present life whatsoever

    Biz realized this a short time later when he passed a street vendor selling water bottles and was given change from years after 1941. “That O’Keefle! It’s payback time!” Biz, drives his car to O’Keefle’s headquarters and meets one of O’Keefle’s cronies and promptly drugs him and kidnaps him. “O’Keefle won’t know what hit him” Biz said menacingly. biz gives the crony a mind altering drug that makes the crony now a spy for Biz and forwards all embarrassing information from O’Keefle

    Baruch walks up to the receptionist and is told to watand the doctor will see him shortly. An hour later, Baruch finished his fifth magazine when he’s called to the desk. “I’m sorry to inform you but the doctor said to cancel all his remaining appointments he had a important surgery to attend to and will be out for the rest of the day”. Baruch, disappointed, gets his hisstuff to go and hails a taxi to his night job, a mashgiach in an upscale restaurant in Manhattan.
