After some of your recent posts this may be heading that way as well.
Mr mod,
I’m just waiting for the קץ 😄
December 3, 2018 9:53 pm at 9:53 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1636587☕️coffee addictParticipantBtw I think this is the longest thread we’ve had so far. Yasher koach everyone. I feel like I’m understanding people here more and more.

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
☕️coffee addictParticipantMeno is right
The reason is for פרסומי ניסא
But in a case where you’re alone you don’t have to get anyone to see it rather it’s fulfilled through you the same should apply here

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
November 28, 2018 11:39 am at 11:39 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1632361☕️coffee addictParticipantWow! The Tanya must really be heilig!! Not only a chumash
Isn’t a חת״ת something where a חומש is on top of a תניא?

Typical of Democrats, makes a statement then doesn’t want to back it up against arguments 😜
November 27, 2018 6:54 am at 6:54 am in reply to: Why Are Torah Observant Jews Overwhelmingly Republican/Conservative? #1631070☕️coffee addictParticipantThe Democrats tolerate everyone, so they tolerate Jews also.
Tell that to the liberal college campus that is pro BDS and anti conservatives

☕️coffee addictParticipantSyag,
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 HashemBut 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
☕️coffee addictParticipantHashem should be ממלא כל משאלת ליבכם and we should all live to experience the גאולה
November 20, 2018 8:03 pm at 8:03 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1627831☕️coffee addictParticipantYeshivish rockstar
Most Lubavitchers probably accepted the fact that the rebbe died just moshiach can come from the dead

If it’s annual what did America do last year? Abstain?
November 19, 2018 12:21 pm at 12:21 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1626100☕️coffee addictParticipantAlthough does anyone else feel this thread is getting kind of boring and the arguments are becoming mere nitpicking? Or is it just me and APY
No, I realized no ones going to convince you what you believe is wrong and vice versa which is why we are called עם קשי עורף which is a good way to keep us Jewish btw

At least someone realizes what I’m talking about
One time I was at a “community kinnos “ where a bunch of different rabbanim spoke and as the Lubavitcher finished off my rebbe kept on repeating ממש like he’s waiting for him to say בקרוב בימינו ממש and when the Lubavitcher finished he ended with those words I cracked up

November 15, 2018 4:34 pm at 4:34 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1624602☕️coffee addictParticipantNow, 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.
Huh?
Lubavitcher is the only “Torah movement “?

November 15, 2018 9:26 am at 9:26 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1624004☕️coffee addictParticipantRemember CS the mods are human and just like I don’t like to read whole long posts I don’t think the mods do either (I try to make my posts (and words) short and to the point (which has the downside of being misunderstood (understandably) and we say טשעה כבים שיחה so understandably your post will be way longer than mine but mods are people
November 15, 2018 7:41 am at 7:41 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1623894☕️coffee addictParticipant. 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
November 14, 2018 5:45 pm at 5:45 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1623692☕️coffee addictParticipantRso,
R Shach is ES and everyone knows what he said
A& is R Aharon Kotler, not sure what he said

November 12, 2018 12:42 pm at 12:42 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1621465☕️coffee addictParticipantI 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
November 12, 2018 9:00 am at 9:00 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1621312☕️coffee addictParticipantReally? 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)
November 11, 2018 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1620999☕️coffee addictParticipantWhy keep giving her a platform to spout nonsense?
For one it shows people that don’t know that much about chabad how it really is
November 11, 2018 1:41 pm at 1:41 pm in reply to: Election Results 2018 — Republicans Do Better Than Expected #1620957☕️coffee addictParticipant“We will get rid of the Affordable Care Act.”

That’s a fact, are you saying none of them are criminals?

The Democrats have a plan to secure our border? Please tell me what it is
November 11, 2018 8:39 am at 8:39 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1620825☕️coffee addictParticipantAnd? 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…
And this is the problem
The Baal hatanya wasn’t greater than anyone in tanach

November 9, 2018 8:28 am at 8:28 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1620534☕️coffee addictParticipantThanks,
You too! And to all of klal yisrael!
☕️coffee addictParticipantHow is this a halachic question?
November 8, 2018 7:23 pm at 7:23 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1620421☕️coffee addictParticipantAfter 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
November 8, 2018 6:17 pm at 6:17 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1620391☕️coffee addictParticipantThe 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
November 7, 2018 11:44 am at 11:44 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1618808☕️coffee addictParticipantNeville,
I’m copying a pasting CS’s comment to you and replying to it
I want to know the answer from CS
November 7, 2018 9:26 am at 9:26 am in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1618639☕️coffee addictParticipantBut neville, again you are conflating anything to do with moshiach and Geula to buy synonymous with who moshiach is.
When a Lubavitcher says בקרוב בימינו ״ממש״ what does ממש refer to?
November 6, 2018 10:39 pm at 10:39 pm in reply to: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us! #1618543☕️coffee addictParticipantTo 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 ?
