    I’d say they’re absolutely the same person. They both ignore the spellcheck at the same frequency because they know better.

    I will not apologize for believing in Torah MiSinai. When I say the second parsha of Krias Shema I accept on myself all mitzvos that can possibly be kept today without the Beis Hamikdosh. I accept upon myself all the different types of mitzvos including the “chukim” which we keep whether or not we think we know the meaning for them. We keep the chukim because G-d said so. Modern science and discoveries mean nothing.

    If the coffee room was an actual free for all then mods would be working full time trying to erase unwanted comments that would appear too fast. This coffee room requires a mod to approve every single comment before it becomes visible. They should invest minimal due diligence to weed out shmutz and kefira. Kefira is denial of the 13 ikkarim as delineated by the Rambam. I’m not talking about the heated debates about Zionism.

    Mashiach isn’t a concept. He will be a living human being. A direct descendant of Dovid Hamelech who was a direct descendant of Yehuda the son of Yaakov Avinu as clearly enumerated in the final pesukim of Megilas Rus. A person can have lots of middos in common with Yehuda but if he isn’t a direct paternal descendant he isn’t of Shevet Yehuda.

    @rescue The shevatim don’t represent the months. They aren’t constellations. They were actual live people. All non convert Jews are directly descended from one of the 12 sons of Yaakov Avinu.

    AI doesn�t know how to distinguish between chassidish and yeshivish. It�s a classic milsa d�avida legluyei. He was born a litvak. Lived his life as a litvak. Did what he did as a litvak. It�s said that he did teshuva. AFAIK he�s no longer among the living.

    You�re the one who seems to have implied that because I said that the mekor of Choshen Mishpat is the sugyos of Seder Nezikin, therefore those learning the sugya should be able to answer halachic shaalos.

    Learning the sugya is the beginning. The svaros of Abaye and Rava sharpen the minds of those who learn them. Nobody will get semicha from just Tur and Shulchan Aruch.

    I don�t advocate cheating on taxes or claiming benefits and government programs that one isn�t entitled to. I certainly hope that my rabbanim aren�t permitting that. I was raised by upstanding parents.

    @Always_Ask_Questions

    Learning a sugya and knowing it well doesn�t give the biggest talmid chochom the authority to answer shailos. That�s what an actual Rov is for.

    All these things that you talk about regarding halachos of driving and cars belong to middos. Some people have good middos without being talmidei chachomim and some talmidei chachomim may be sorely lacking in middos.

    We don�t ask our Halachic questions of random talmidei chachamim. We ask them of Rabbis who have semicha. Not all musmachim have semicha in choshen mishpat. Those who do have semicha in choshen mishpat started with the sugyos of Seder nezikin.

    You do NOT respect Rabbis. You inserted yourself into a halachic discussion with leitzanus before knowing any actual opinions. You see the Rabbis as inherently flawed which makes you an am ha�aretz. That�s nothing to be proud of.

    Car damages aren�t more difficult than �bull fighting�. The basis for nezikin is the beginning of Bava Kama. The halachos are derived from the �bull fighting�. Sifrei SHU�T are all applying �bull fighting� into modern day situations.

    Yud Tes Kisleiv was celebrated by Chabad before the �current� Rebbe�s grandfather was born.

    Shulchan Aruch Harav doesn�t belong exclusively to Chabad. It�s no less valid than the Chayei Adam (which may or may not have predated it and if yes not by much) and the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. Shulchan Aruch Harav is mentioned in the Mishna Berurah, referred to as Shulchan Aruch HaGRaZ.

    There are jobs that you don�t have to work until 5PM on Fridays during the winter. There are thousands of people working for goyim that are in Shul for mincha erev Shabbos no matter how early shkiya is. If you work for a business that won�t let you out early enough maybe that�s not the place you should be working.

    The Yiddish language forum ivelt has a system that has been working for years.There is no shmutz because people actually follow the rules. If Yeshiva World has users that would post shmutz they need to do some self reflection.

    It begs the question why moderators are unpaid. In my honest opinion comments should be immediately posted with registered users having a report button that would alert moderators to possible issues that could bring penalties for both commenters and when warranted abusive reporters. Ivelt has an amazing system that has worked for years.

    � Another problem with Satmar is:

    If you indeed live in Olam HaZeh as you claim you are susceptible to Olam HaZeh problems such as illness (lo aleinu). As such you or a family member can need hospitalization. You are certainly welcome to turn down the delicious home made meals.

    In a Secular Marriage aka Civil Union the �wife� is halachically a penuya which results in non mamzeirim. When they are forced into a Halachic marriage which is an institution they don�t respect it�s more likely to create mamzeirim.

    If the mods are going to so rarely approve comments to the CR maybe it�s time to do away with them. A CR by definition is a place where people throw around opinions. The way it is being run now defeats the sentiment. Maybe let people shmooze and if it gets out of hand then the mods can make some sense of order.

    People donate sifrei Torah to a shul because they want their loved ones to be remembered in that specific shul. Sometimes they actually remain the property of the donor and they�re kept there for use at certain occasions and when the donor moves away they take it with them.
