Seckel HaYashar, I was in a rush and misspelled it.
Put down the gun, some of them in our time ended up declaring that the Rebbe is a part of G-d. It didn’t come from nowhere. A couple of stories with regular ( not open minim) Lubavitchers from awhile ago which illustrate my point: a) one Lubavitcher telling another that he must remember that one day he will have to stand in front of the Rebbe and give din ve’cheshbon; b) a Lubavitcher explanation of a certain Chabadnik being able to risk his life for Yiddishkeit: his total mesirus to do the will of the Rebbe.
Bratzki Poretz, let me respond. There were reasons for the reaction of the Litvish Gedolim. Lubavitch is not 99% like the others. It was founded with very different fundamental hashkovos than what was the mesorah before that time – views dangerously approaching Christian views.
As far as the pidion shvuiim goes. I am not familiar with the details, but you have to know there are Halochic rules about it: Kohen goes before Yisroel, Talmud Chocham before Am Ha’Oretz even if the latter is more me’yuchas.I am not a Lubavitcher and I don’t know the system from inside, but as far as shidduchim go, those people are, probably, just strict about yichus. Look in the last perek of Kiddushin. Even Rabbi Yochanan had to deal with it.
Volozhin was Chassidish? Really?
Joseph, you have to know how the market works. It may have been rising because of what the investors were thinking Trump was going to do and not because he actually did something. Like they are expecting a tax reform and less regulations. So far he has not done any of that.
Sorry, I meant it in the affirmative: the kings are not supposed to have their own private armies.
Anon…, kings are not supposed to have their own private armies? What are you talking about? Also, I don’t know what you mean by “the bloody history”.
Anon…, Rambam says explicitly that an order of a Jewish King which goes against Halochah is to be disregarded. Plus, he also says that a discretionary war can be waged only with the permission of Sanhedrin.
I am sorry, but it was Shaul who ordered it. Avner refused because it was an aveirah.Doeg did it.
Anon1m0us, ONE example? Okay. Here we go Shaun ordered the army to execute the inhabitants of Nov, the city of Cohanim, but the two main generals (Avnet and somebody else) refused to comply saying it was an average. So the army didn’t do it. Diego did it personally.
