Frum schools these days place too much emphasis on learning irrelevant secular subjects and learning is basically memorization instead of actually teaching important subject to internalize the message. However, it is important to remember that we all have bechira and no amount not of proper chinuch can make a person do the right thing because it’s a choice. No one can blame their personal choices on parents or educators or education.
All frum Jews should be able to read, write and speak in Hebrew.
And that is one of the reasons why I am not a fan of the “Zionist” government. They do not have laws for the death penalty, or even minimum long-term prison sentence guidelines for terrorist, and the “justice” system generally treats Jewish prisoners much worse than these Arab terrorist.
The government sends soldiers on these non-stop dangerous missions to capture terrorists which are then released a few years in jail! Is there a winder why they don’t keep on repeating their terrorist activities once they are out of jail?
The Europeans have a long history of anti-Semitism. Couple that with liberalism and you get nothing but Jew hatred and sympathy for the fake Palestinians.
Yserbius, I do have a problem that the US is giving billions to Israel. However, the US only gave Israel 3.8 billion this past year, not $40+ billion plus billions in ammunition! In fact, the US is giving Ukraine so much ammunition it is now running of low of high-end weapons systems and ammunition! Israel is required to reinvest the money the US gives them in US produced ammunitions while the Ukrainian money is all being lost to us.
It is a terrible injustice that the barbaric terrorists got lenient sentences. How can the Israeli judge care more for terrorists than an innocent girl? Reshuim.
Wow, some posting on this thread sound like Jew-haters! “Israel’s human rights violations”! what are you talking about! They treat Arab terrorist way better than they treat Jews. And I’m totally, absolutely not pro-Israel government, but the truth is the truth. Why are Jews such haters of their own people? When you fight terrorists who want to kill and kill innocent people what are you supposed to do? Give them a cigarette when you catch them, like Israeli soldiers did?
jackk, the prime minister also blamed it on the Russians. We don’t know exactly why the missile was landed in Poland, these missiles are highly accurate so it seems unlikely it was a mistake, perhaps it was but that cant be said as a fact. But the problem is that Zelensky blamed the Russians right away and is still blaming them despite the fact that the missile was proven to be a Ukrainian missile. That makes people very skeptical of him of his honesty.
Now the world is angry at Zelensky for saying the Russians hit Poland with the missile while it was most likely a Ukrainian missile. Everyone is claiming that Zelensky wants NATO to join the war and we should have a WW3… I’m embarrassed that the president of Ukraine is Jewish who is fighting a Ukrainian war and we Jews will have to get blamed for whatever Zelensky does that is bad, including shnorring billions of dollars of aid from the US and instigating WW3…I hoping that further research will show that it was a Russian missile (that is highly unlikely though) because Zelensky is still claiming that it wasn’t them and it will look really bad if it was indeed a Ukrainian missile.
* I meant to write are so repulsive to me
What an an idiot we have here, as well as a vicious, vile person; AAQ is the Jewish idiot who loves non-Jews and hates Jews. He bashes Jews for daring to breath ( we kill everyone like that) while whitewashing the evils of non-Jews…He is a Jewish, Jew hater…uch, disgusting.
I have responded to AAQ last comment but it seems that the moderators won’t let it through. Seems like it’s ok that AAQ writing hurts me writing about “people here were inspired by online propaganda somehow” but I cannot respond to that. I do not forgive such a person and he should know it. Seems like some people get away with their disgusting statements that it’s ACADEMIC history when we discuss the Jewish history in the Slavic regions dripping with the blood shed by the Slavs, including AAQ’s beloved Ukrainians, but it’s propaganda when we don’t care them…Some people repulse me.
AAQ, it’s ironic that you say on someone else that they love finding the worst in everyone…
Avirah, well said.
Chopping off healthy organs from teenagers is totally rishus, giving puberty blockers to children is rishus, parents and “educators” brainwashing kids that they are the opposite gender is rishus. That this all is legal and encouraged by government officials is disgusting. Humanity is disgusting.
Creating viruses (they are STILL doing that) that kill people is not rishus? Millions of people died because so many scientists are obsessed with creating viruses that kill people. Killing people and giving them chronic diseases by forcing them to get shots that were not proven to be safe or efffective to satisfy the barbaric elements of society is not rishus?
Often there’s no justice in the courts; some people with protektzia get away with crimes while others get disproportionately sentences for their crimes.
I don’t think civilization “softened”. Instead of fighting in wars they watch violent and cruel movies that fill their lust for killing. They play violent video games; not only teens, but adults and seniors too.
I don’t believe supermax prisons for murderers and prisoners who are murderers and disrupt other prisoners, and are dangerous to them, is barbaric. They got there because of their own actions. They are there for others’ safety. It’s when murderers are realeased early from prison and criminals don’t even land in prison, that’s when we see how how barbaric civilization is that they don’t care about justice for victims (and that’s when crime skyrockets). Not caring about innocent victims is barbarism.
We are lulling ourselves to complacency. This civilization has plenty of murderers and those ready to kill. Anti-Semitism is on the rise. It is a scary world and getting scarier. Hashem should continue watching over us but I think we should prepare ourselves like Yaacov Avinu did before meeting Eisav. We have not fully met the face of Eisav and I pray that we should never meet it. We should daven that we never experience the full barbarism that humanity is capable of.
Ujm, thank you.
Ok, we can’t have AAQ’s sentence modified…here it is in it’s entirety; “If you do accept Putin’s culpability, there is no reason to discuss ACADEMIC HISTORY of Slavs in the same sentence.”
Putin’s culpability is irrelevant to the fact that I don’t care about the war in Ukraine.
The Slavs fighting each other is an ongoing fact. it is not only academic history but a continuation of Slav culture. But again, that is irrelevant to the fact that I don’t care about the war in Ukraine.
What is absolutely relevant to me is the Jewish victims iliving in the Slavic regions who were murdered, raped, their possessions plundered for hundreds of years until the early 20th century! Then the barbaric Ukrainians fully participated in Holocaust and were at least as brutal, if not more so, than the Nazis. And Russians partisans often killed Russian Jewish partisans who were fighting the Nazis. This is nothing but ACADEMIC HISTORY to a Jew?!
Chas v’sholom, I’m didn’t mean to say that AAQ makes the spelling and grammar errors…I meant I constantly make those errors because of carelessness….I hope everyone can find it in their hearts to forgive me…
Spelling and grammar errors is totally ok with me. Being a barbaric people lover and excuser is disgusting.
user176, I knew this will happen…I knew herd immunity will be attributed to the “vaccine” that was proven to not prevent transmition nor even prevent people from getting covid…lol.
“there is no reason to discuss to discuss ACEDEMIC HISTORY of the Slavs in the same sentence”… Well, thank God I will don’t have to get AAQ’s permission to engage in ACEDEMIC HISTORY…
I believe Biden will be foaming at the mouth while the great US heads towards the cemetery…
huju, no logical person would defend any Democrat position which is going to bring us neverending inflation, “legal” child abuse, election fraud, etc.etc. our country is headed to the edge of the cliff and then…
AAQ, I called Putin is a murderer because I’m happy that people are being killed? My goodness, either you are not honest or you don’t comprehend what people are writing. I called Putin a murderer because he kills Ukrainians and send Russians to be killed in war and OBVIOUSLY I don’t support that otherwise I would not call Putin a murderer. That does not mean I’m crying for the Slavs who fought each other practically since they became a race and committed atrocities against other people.
Maybe with the exception of some Russian peasants who believe Russian propaganda that they are rooting out Ukrainian Nazis, no one is interested in a war, I believe even Putin himself would at this point like to stop the war but his ego won’t let him climb down the tree.
I believe I said this to you before, the world is not black and white, the world has varying shades of grey and has many colors and millions of hues. Not caring about the Ukrainians is a far cry from supporting war, supporting the invasion of a sovereign nation, supporting the killing of civilians or even soldiers many of them who were drafted against their will.
Furthermore, I strongly protest comparing my not caring of Slavs engaged in a (practically neverending) war with each other to the Germans actually engaging in the mass murder of millions upon millions of innocents, and in particular the Jews, because they felt they had an excuse to do that. That is incredibly vicious of you and I will not be engaging in any dialogue with you. Shame on you.
What about the poison shots? Fraudci and co., including Bill Gates and the CDC, have caused the death and harm to millions of individuals, not only through the “lab leak” of COVID-19 but also the forced “vaccinations”; the vicious forced “vaccine” mandates. Currently doctors who were not only not against the covid poison shots but who liberally gave them to their patients, are reporting many adverse events including an abnormal amount of deaths which they attribute to the covid poison shots. The murderers are getting away with murder.
AAQ, where have you seen anything written here that is pro-murderer? I have seen many times that you do not have good comprehension. I have read this read thread over a few times and nowhere have I read one word in favor of anyone being killed.
I have written that I’m not crying over the Ukrainians nor the Russians; nowhere have I said that I’m pro the murder of Slavs. Yes, I absolutely do not cry about a people who kept on committing numerous progroms against the Jews as late as the early 20th century, I do not cry about a people who helped the Nazis kill our people, I do not cry about a people who spilled rivers of the blood of my people and committed the most heinous crimes against them. If my non-caring equals being pro-murder then I feel so sorry for you that you would twist my words to defend the “poor Slavic nation” ( who fought between each other for millenia) against a “vicious” Jew like me…
Let me tell you even the Circassians and other nationalities care more about there murderered brethrethen than you. I have been in discussion with some Circassians who are are not as forgiving and forgetting as you are of your own people being killed and murdered in the most gruesome ways. No, they are not saying we are so excited that the Slavs are killing themselves, but in a recent discussion with a few individuals from that race, I realized that the Slavs have done great harm to many races, but only Jews will DEFEND these barbarians when Hashem is giving these people back what they did to our nation and perhaps to other races as well. Hashem cares more about the spilt blood of our ancestors than you and the likes of you who care more about the barbarians. In a few generations Jews will likely be defending Germans as well. They’ll say that Jews generally had a good history in Germany but since Jews did xyz that’s why the Germans got angry with them and committed the Holocaust…this is exactly the argument used to excuse the Slavs, particularly the “poor” Ukrainians, against the crimes committed against our people. But God remembers everything and that is a nechama to the victims.
Whoever doesn’t have a smartphone and is not online for downtime, kol hakovod to them.
I am also surprised that there are ads featuring women on YWN, and I find it especially revolting when I see the ads with women on YWN WhatsApp group because it’s so untznius. I also find the nivul peh recently posted in one of the YWN news article very, very revolting.
I also still feel guilty for being choished 2 people here on the CR for being the same person, and giving them mussar but it could be I was right and they are one person….
Regarding posting in the CR, talking to other anonymous people does not make me “feel closer to them”. Perhaps other people feel like that but I don’t think you can be closer to anyone you have no clue who they are. I have no clue whether halachically it’s wrong to be here, but I am definitely of the opinion it’s better to not be on the internet at all.
One thing that being here helped me was that I am able to stop arguing and not endlessly try to prove that I’m right. After arguing endlessly about covid regulations and covid poison shots I realized I can just say my thing and move on. This understanding that I don’t need to win an argument with another person also helped me a lot in real life.
jackk, aha, you sticking up for the complete meshuganna Stacy Abrams shows how you can downplay the fact that Democrats do not want ID requirements when voting. You need ID when you travel, you need ID to open a bank account, you need ID to obtain a driver’s license, etc.etc, but when you vote it is magically racist to have to show ID; all of a sudden there are so many disadvantaged blacks and Hispanics that can’t show their ID…
I agree; -Putin is a mass murderer. However, I’m not crying over the murderous Ukrainians, they are the same war loving, barbaric people as the Russians.
Amil Zola, you should have a complete refuah sheleimah.
Yserbius, I’m not aTrump fan at all ( although I think he did great as a president I wouldn’t vote for him now) many, many Republicans are not Trump fans and that does not mean that there’s no election fraud going on. What “1” said had absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
Democrats are against voter ID
Republicans are pro-voter IDDemocrats are pro mail in ballots
Republicans/Trump are anti-mail in ballotsThat’s all you need to know which side is cheating and manipulating data
Yserbius, whether Trump had a narrow lead or not, the fact is that it is statistically impossible for almost all of these states to go to Biden when Trump was ahead. And in rural and suburban counties it is very often Republicans who are preferred candidates, the Democrats usually win in the cities.
The fact is that during 2020 vote count when the polls were open many states were showing that Trump was winning, but only in the last hours before the polls closed, they went, one by one, almost all for Biden. That is statisticly impossible.
It is not only King James version, there are other New Testament versions and many other Christian scriptures, in fact they base their entire ideology on misconstrued and mistranslated verses and verses that are taken out of context. This is a vast subject and if you want to learn more there’s Jews for Judaism which is an excellent organization counteracting missionaries; they have many videos and I believe books as well, or you can contact them for info on books you can read that counteract missionary points.
Jackk, it’s nice to be positive but you are not seeing the entire picture. The mabul was sent because of gays. Not only gay, but people are engaged in all kinds of promiscuous behavior that is an abomination to Hashem. And yet we have askanim and Rabbonim who are meeting with these individuals who engage in and or support this behavior, encourage it and make it legal. And they are endorsing them as well! Non-Jewish kids are having organs chopped off to serve the liberal cult and what are we doing about it? I know Jews think we live our own lives but all these laws and regulations WILL eventually effect is H”y.
We are living in times where Jewish women look like pritzus and it’s totally accepted, sing and dance on public social media forums, materialism is overtaking our lives.
Hashem is sending signals all the time and we are ignoring them. We need to wake up fast and not be complacent!
I think that many people don’t understand what mesorah means. Mesorah does not mean that we have to dress the same or have the same dialect of Loshen HaKodesh than how klal Yisroel dressed or spoke when they stood at har Sinai. The Yidden in different generations and different geographical regions all spoke and dressed differently and had different minhugim, that does not mean their mesorah was broken. The Yidden during the times of the destruction of the Beis Hamildosh, approximately 1,000 years later than matan Torah, did not speak the exact same dialect, did not dress exactly the same as their ancestors 1,000 years earlier and had many more minhugim that Yosroeilim at Har Sinai. The Babylonian Jews, the Greek Jews, the Caucasian Jews, they all spoke and dressed and had different traditions. That is not unbroken mesorah. The Jews who migrated to Europe 1,000 years ago, which also includes the ancestors of the Sephardim, did not have a broken mesorah just because they did not dress the same, had different traditions and different dialects than other Jewish communities spread throughout, who each had their own dialects and traditions.
Mesorah is the unvoken and untampered chain of halacha and the concept of Hashem is One God whom we serve and abide by His Torah that was written and transmitted to us by Moshe Rabbeinu. From then on on the midbar, it was taught to the Yidden, and taught and taught, from leaders of klal Yisroel, from father to son, from Rebbe to student, from mother to daughter. Although our dialects are different, our minhugim are different, our dress is different, we have the same mesorah going back to Har Sinai.
Akuperma, Christians do not know Tanach, the just misconstrue and mistranslate verses taken out of context to “prove their religion is true”. There are some individual Christian who know Tanach but they are rare exceptions. Israeli missionaries do know Tanach, as Avira pointed out, but there are very, very few Israeli Jewish missionaries, not more than a few individuals. The overwhelming majority of missionaries, even those operating in Israel, are non-Jews who don’t know Tanach well, if anything, at all.
King James bible “adaptations” are flights of human fantasy so it’s irrelevant to how Yidden learn Tanach. Now I am certainly not minimizing the importance of learning Tanach within the framework and clarity of Torah SheBaal Peh, I am certainly not minimizing learning Rashi with Chumash. The Torah is extremely deep and we do not know how to navigate it properly without the clarity of our Sages. My point is simply that it is very important for Yidden to know the basics of Yiddishkeit with is Tanach, but of course, only within the framework of what our Rabbis taught us because that is the only way we can know how to live the life the Torah demands of us; through the practical applications of Torah law and Torah hashkafa that our great Rabbis taught us.
Yabia Omer, Ashkenazi mesorah was passed down from great and illustrious Rabbonim and Poskim throughout history. Our history is recorded and our Rabbis and their students, and by extension our communities, are well known and our mesorah is only questioned by those who think they are inferior or superior, but not by the knowledgeable.
