    No, the previous threads had closed because of the spewing hatred from both sides as well as some questionable apikorsus. After some of your recent posts this may be heading that way as well.

    Mr mod,

    From Fox News

    Bible scholars believe the legendary Ark of the Covenant may have landed in Africa after it was taken out of Israel.

    The Ark is said to be a gold-covered wooden chest containing two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments – which Moses brought down from Mount Sinai – are written.

    Since it vanished there have been several theories as to where the Ark is now, including Mount Nebo in Israel, southern Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt and even several locations in Europe.

    While the idea that the Ark was taken to Ethiopia is not new, there has been renewed interest after evidence was unearthed by the Bible Archaeology, Search & Exploration Institute (BASE).

    Christian monks in the African country have long claimed the Ark is being kept under guard at the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum.

    In a blog post on the organization’s website it said: “As unusual as this may sound, the BASE team has uncovered compelling evidence that the Ark may well have been spirited up the Nile River to an eventual resting place in the remote highlands of ancient Kush — modern-day Ethiopia.”

    According to their research, the Ark was taken out of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the reign of Manasseh, where it was first taken to a Jewish colony on Elephantine Island in Egypt.

    After that, it is thought it was taken down the Nile to Lake Tana in Ethiopia and in particular Tana Kirkos Island, which is considered to be a holy island only populated by Christian monks.

    From there the Ark was moved to Axum, or Aksum, a city in the north of the country.

    The BASE Institute claims to have spoken to a man at the church who was “The Guardian of the Ark of the Covenant” and who spent his life inside a fenced-off area surrounding the church and claimed he would not leave the compound until he died and a new guardian took over the role.

    The man claimed he was the only person who could look on the Ark because it was a holy object and he and the villagers would protect it with their lives, if necessary.

    When an investigator from the Smithsonian approached the guardian in 2007, he was told: “I’m the guardian of the Ark, I have no other name.”

    While the BASE Institute did not claim the Ark had been found, it did say: “At this juncture, we cannot say with certainty that it is, but neither can we say for certain that it isn’t. What we have concluded is that St. Mary’s of Zion church in Axum, Ethiopia, is the resting place either of an incredible replica of the biblical Ark of the Covenant, or of the actual Ark of the Covenant itself.”

    Were the yidden in mitzrayim in a state of geulah before Moshe rabbeinu showed up?

    Were the yidden in bavel in a state of geulah before Esther became queen?

    I think the answer to both questions is no

    I have never heard of someone writing a letter to רחל אמינו, and if it’s done that doesn’t mean they’re not crazy too

    What I do hear (and this differentiates between the normal people and those that aren’t) is davening to HASHEM in the זכות of רחל or רשב״י

    Syag,

    A rebbe once told me regarding my son that “whatever rebbe your son has will be a great rebbe because he is so smart”
    I think the same can be said of your children, whichever Yeshiva your children go to they will grow in Torah and Ahavas Hashem

    But just because אל תהי ברכת הדיות קל בעיניך your kids should find the right Yeshiva for them that they should be true Ben torahs and yarei shamayim

    Now, the reason why shluchim are so successful in mekareving others is not because they are such great PR people that they manage to package Yiddishkeit better than non Torah movements.

    . It was precisely because he was a Torah leader that the Rebbe cared to strongly disagree with his words.

    And then not to teach his chassidim to not curse Rav Shach or to never have an Avi ezri in any chabad house whatsoever

    I said no such thing.

    Really?

    And? He was holding by the avoda of tzaddikim. He wrote the Tanya, also known as the Sefer shel beinonim, and also wrote a Sefer shel tzaddikim which unfortunately was burnt. Point being he could only write the Sefer if he was holding there…

    Yes so he was a tzadik who stood up to his yetzer hara even in extremely difficult circumstances (beinoni),

    And Avraham didn’t have nisyonos? So that made h a beinoni (according to your definition)

    Is there someone according to your definition of צדיק and if so name one because everyone has נסיונות even משה רבינו

    Really? For the sake of a no brainer, I’m sure you hold your Rav to be on a higher level in Avodas Hashem than Achav. (Yes the temptation then was greater but im saying on an Avodas Hashem level.)

    I was waiting for you to nitpick my words

    Who says I’m talking about avodas hashem?

    You really are comparing apples to oranges. Before you were saying the Baal hatanya was greater than the Avos (who were beinonim) and now you bring Achav?

    (And btw it’s possible that if the Baal hatanya was in achav’s generation he would be worse than Achav)

    After he showed him what a beinoni of Tanya is (someone who has a yetzer hara but never does any aveira, big or small,

    I admit unfamiliarity with mesillas yesharim but based on what I do know, what you describe is the norm. There are the born tzaddikim who are the rare exception (such as Moshe rabbeinu who was born mohul, which is apparently can be a sign of such),

    Moshe rabbeinu worked on himself to make himself a tzaddik (maaseh where they brought someone to draw him)

    Additionally nowhere does it term benonim in Gemara like you, Benoni could be either someone that is “50/50” or someone that has at least one mitzvah

    We say Yosef is Yosef hatzadik because he was עומד בנסוין yet there are four people who didn’t sin and only died “because of the נחש”

    And I highly doubt the בעל התניא thought he was a בינוני

    The one I said was a demand was Lama nigara. It is a demand to have the right to bring the korban pesach. Again, Lama nigara doesn’t mean, ” Is it possible for us to bring the korban too somehow?” It means, “Why should we miss out?!” Which is a demand for the opportunity to bring the korban Pesach.

    I think I finally understand what CS is talking about (even though I wouldn’t call it a demand) I wouldn’t call it a request either

    I would call it a טענה which is a claim but I see where you’re coming from

    But neville, again you are conflating anything to do with moshiach and Geula to buy synonymous with who moshiach is.

    To parrot it is time,

    If that’s a beinoni, I guess we’re all reshaim according to the Baal hatanya and really the only tzaddikim are ?
