Mussar zogger- If we lived for olam hazeh, you have a question. But the primary world is thie Olam Habah. Do you think they are not getting just and appropriate reward for following Daas Torah whee they are now? Is Hashem punishing or rewarding them for listening?
We need to see the picture from Hashems perspective. I am sure that if we were able to communicate with any of those neshamos, they would choose to stay rather than come down. Like the story of the 2 year old killed by terrorists who came to his mother in a dream.
With Emunah it is all acceptable as is.
Yisroel and amim is kodesh and chol, night and day. we say the blessing every week.
When I filtered my water through a filter which was not changed in 8 months it didn’t come out clean. Know why? Because the filter was not pristine and pure. When the Tzadikim filtered songs based on teh Baals Shem Tovs vort of “Kchu Mizimras Haaretz” it was Tzadikim and gedolim filtering, not general public. Know why? Because we need a refined clean untainted pure filter consumed wiht Yiras Shamayim to properly filter. especially for music which is the song of the soul.
If you want to let the satan decide shiduchim values and priorities and more, go ahead.
Any info which may be seen as negative we must answer when asked, but should not offer info.
Be careful if you are doing the asking- ask DOES HE SMOKE AT ALL? Do not ask IS HE A SMOKER as that is inviting interpretation.. What is a smoker?? cigs, 10? A pack?? Two?? Fell in once…….. and she got married. and he quit.
start with a sefer like Mesillas Yesharim adn work on each perek. After you finish you will have a better picture of what areas you found most challenging and then learn/work on them. Hatzlacha… a person IS his midos.
Ner yisroel with Hopkins or U.of M 50percent more learning per day……Double the learning per week. Almost double the weeks per year. More than double the days per year. YU has 2 14 week semesters including study week. That is 24-26 weeks of learning 5 days a week. Ner isroel has 44 weeks of learning a year 7 days a week. Thats about 300 days for NY vs about 130 for YU. Shabbos in Ner Yisroel is Shabbos. The choice is clear if you want to be a Ben Torah.
GOQ- What about the lofty praise and spiritual accomplishments of those who the Gemara describes as “those who are insulted and do not respond” are compared to Avraham Avinu and the stories of people who having come upon a person who had self control were asked for a Bracha for MAJOR things and it was answered by Hashem?? Is that to belittle or to be inspired by?
Ner Yisroel with U. of Maryland or Hopkins. More hours learning per day, more days per week, more weeks per year
Call the assistant to the Police Commisioner who is frum. He will advise you.
Why is it so difficult to dress Tniyusdik??
Do we think Hashem wants us to play games with His/Our Shulchan Aruch?
Then we daven for health, shidduchim , good children…….. and get upset if things don’t go the way WE want……
Lo Tilbash is an issur Dioraysa……….. don’t play games and don’t look for loopholes. Let’s show Hashem we care about His word
google it
Thank Hashem you have normal healthy children. Daven for all those who don’t yet have children to be zoche to have your problems!!
Time to start learning and reviewing NISHMAT AVRAHAM in depth!!!
If you are going to be an MD let it be as a shaliach of Hashem with clarity in all aspects of Yiras Shamayim and medical Halacha!
there is tons in those volumes……..
See Midrash Tanchuma in NOACH to see why Yeshivos focus on Gemara. The covenant of Torah of Har Sinai is to engage in learning Gemara, not Torah Shebiksav. While we must learn it and know it, if there is limited time we need to focus on what Chazal tell us to learn.
Many of my Rabbaim friends arrange for groups of bachurim to come when their similar age daughters are away for Shabbos. Others actually have the Rebbe and Talmidim eating together and the women at a different table wither in the same or an adjoining room. IT is being done after consulting with prominent Gedolim.
Let’s tone down some of the rhetoric and be a bit more respectful if possible.
Call the Task Force and ask them!!
Employers don’t drink coffee?
People will pay after?? I know many shadchanim (not offical ones) who never saw a penny or even a tah nkk you note. ONe of my chaveirim was a shadchan and they did not even invite him to the wedding!! I was once promised a huge shadchanus if I find a mate for a difficult bachur and BH I did. NOT A DOLLAR or even shaveh peruta. When the girl became ill a year after marriage they called me to blame me and said I hid facts from them. Ingrates!! They never looked in a spiritual mirror to see who to blame. I don’t want anything from them…… but for people who are doing it as a lifes mission, to be guaranteed that the money is there is meaningful.
Take a sefer with you. Much better in the long run!
Hamavdil bain kodesh lchol and between light and dark is the same as between YIdden adn non. Live it.
Kosher phone. It frees you up to really live life in stead of being controlled.
Look in the mirror and if you are honest with self you will see that all the faults you see in the teachers really exist within yourself.
Daven to Hashem to help you get over it!
Is that the way you would advise anyone who is confronted with any nisayon to react??? Drink it away?? Eat it away?? Escape into physical sensations??
It looks like it is time for a little Chocvos Halevavos- Shaar Habitachon.. It certainly cheaper and more effective than alcohol….. although it too may be habit forming.
People run far and wide to receive a Bracha form a Tzaddik… Rebbe……. Mekubal. here the Rama promises a Bracha to one who is careful to even drink water in the Succa. If the Rama were alive, how long would the line be to get a Bracha from him??? Here we can get one guaranteed!!!
The brisker Rav probably did not seek Brachos form anyone………..
Correction:
Mechaber in Orach Chaim 570-3 says if one vows not to eat on Shabbos or Yom Tov, it does not take effect because we have a Torah obligation to eat.In the times of Chazal he would get malkos for an unnecessary vow. If he vowed not to eat on Chanukah or Purim it takes effect because the eating then is only D’Rabanan. The mechaber continues that the same applies to Rosh Chodesh and Erev Yom Kippur. But he syas that the Rambam argues and says that they are dioraysa like Shabbos and Yom Tov so the vow would not take effect.
Sorry, I should have checked the details before posting.
TziGel is a goat, not TziRel.. someone needs to teach Google some Yiddish!
IT IS NOT A VOW!
The Shulchan Aruch rules that since it is a Mitzvah to eat on Erev Yom Kippur, if you make a vow not to eat then it does not take effect because you are effectively attempting to nullify an existing commandment. Te vow never takes effect.
1- Rabbi Oelbaum form Machon Bais Yaakov always calls teh girls by MIss last name. Zehirus in Tzniyus.
Maybe a girl in the workplace can not use her regular hebrew/affectionate name but use a formal version or even a secular version to be used just in the secular environment…… prevents her form feeling close. Rebbeca instead of Rivka, Judith instead of Yehudis, “Raitchel” instead of Rochel etc………
I know of too many single girls who fell prey to the new fund freedom and excitement of relationship in the workplace………… big time problems……. serious ones……. Enough alluded to. Harchakos are in order.
As Divrei Chayim said ” I daven every day that I should be able to daven”!
Mesivta Ateres Yaakkov of Greater Long Island 516-374-6465 ask for Menahel Rabbi Yaffe……. Talmid Chacham and PHD in pshych……. warmth, vibrancy,personalized compassionate chinuch with focus on Kodesh and chol……… ask around…. it is the successful secret of the 5 towns Hatzlucha!!
Great topic for “ikvasa dimishicha”!
BTW at the end of his responsa Reb Moshe writes “and the GD fearing person shall be stringent”. If there is a time in the year we want to clue in to be a GD fearing person it probably is the time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In addition, whatever mystical quality is created by sticking to Cholov and Pas Yisroel probably affects the way we aspire in a spiritual sphere and be sticking to Cholov Yisroel during this time we may find ourselves pulled more to see ourselves as spiritual beings and make the serious changes in areas of Lashon Hara, davening, commitment to learning etc……
Heels may be uncomfortable and unhealthy. Many do not like them. You want someone to be uncomfortable for you?
Why don’t you look from her perspective……. he knew I am 5-3 and he agreed to go out…. finally a person who cares about who I am and not my height! Surely if he was hung up on height he would not have agreed to this!
My Rebbi used to say that his father frequently told his short family that height is measured from the shoulders up.
Why are they mutually exclusive?? A harmonious self will work on all fronts. Neglecting any is disharmonious and will leave one with a sense of incompleteness and being unfulfilled.
Men who are trying to work on Shmiras Einayim should be appplauded and we should be proud of them. Would you rather they stare or make a comment as the secular world does?? Yiras Shamayim is to be admired. When you see it daven you should be able to train your family in that midah
If she was a good friend and good baalas midos before, there is room for concern. Marriage should accentuate the positives and not make them disappear. When you are happy you want to share, to give………
re alum pans hechsher
Some are coated with a thin layer of fat or grease which may be of non kosher origin. The standard recommendation is to rinse out with soap and water before using thereby ridding that pan of that layer. A hechsher means that there is no such problem with that brand of aluminum pan.
1-Direct deposit removes some of the possible embarrassment
2- It is a privilege to support Torah learning. If the bachur is for real, be proud. he is giving more than he is receiving. Zevulun is equal to Yisachar. Not everyone can be a Zevulun. Not everyone is a Yisachar. If you found Yisachar and can be Zevulun go for it!

Look at http://oceanchiro.net/ and click on HWL DIET and join his program helps you lose 3/4 to 1.5 lb per day and it is safe and it works. It is not expensive and Dr. Weber is there to support you every step of the way. Amazing.. it really is amazing. I know people who have lost 30 in 30 days and even one who lost 34 in 21 days
How can a kohain be a physician ( not just study to be) if he needs to be in a hospital setting and inevitably over time there will be Yidden who have died in the hospital and they for sure create Tumah!
someone should elaborate on the difference between pas paltir and pas akum. chalav stam and chlav akum.and maybe even in which time you live and how reliable the government is in its laws.
Yes In ateres Chyka……… Eicha together with intro followed by 45 min drasha related to Tisha Bav and same all day tomorrow. Kinos explained followed by one great drasha after another. Nearly all free and $$$$ papers have it advertised.
Rav Schorr speaks in English in his shule between shkiya and Eicha.
Rebbetzin Soloveitchik had a scalp medical problem which made it medically inadvisable to cover her hair.It was not a disregard for Halacha
Putting anything with liquid or that will become liquid in any way is a problem of an issur D’Oraysa.
Why don’t people ask “How come Hashem is so good to me?” when things go well?
