    The earth still revolves around its axis, in a fixed position as Tehillim say.

    sam2 and zahavasdad: Bircas Hahammah is all about the sun travelling in a circuit for 28 years and returning to the exact same position that Hashem placed it in the sky when He created it at first.

    We say, once every 28 years, just erev Pesach, in a specified way, “ose ma’ase bereshis”. This is geocentric – earth as centre, sun and planets going around earth,and this “looks” or “appears” exactly the same in the relative motions of the planets and sun to each other in the solar system as the “secular” motions, but if you “pin” earth instead of the sun at the centre,everthing that happens in the sky still happens. There was a website showing the actual movements,but I haven’t been able to track it down – that was some time ago -maybe it is back – just don’t whathever you do navigate to some anti-Torah sites!

    NASA uses the calculations based on geocentricity to send space ships up.

    “zahavasdad”- in your enthusiasm for the topic of ” World Events”

    you have just given the proof for geocentricity (earth as centre, sun and planets moving around earth)!

    Please re-read your source article and you will find the word “geocentric” as it is there.

    What you wrote in previous post(above) about Bircas Hahammah is based on the certainty of geocentricity and not on anything else.

    Please make a formal admission. Thank you.

    Original poster,above: DO NOT PUT A STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE THE BLIND – from the Torah – and if one were to say about what is there that it was only a joke, they may have a real problem,has v shalom.

    It is better to sit quietly twiddling one’s thumbs than to engage in some of these so called “threads” – yes we want to give some of our friends koach when they might be feeling lonely – but this is not the way.

    IF Share Military THEN Share Torah Study.

    That is what the original title of this conversation really means. No intention to suggest that Orthodox Jews should be forced to serve in the armed forces – they should not.

    Can it please be changed to “IF Share Military THEN Share Torah Study.”?

    The meaning of Chanukah – light not darkness, not a secular holiday, not the freedom of any other religions other than Orthodox Judaism. What Chanukah should not be: guest speakers at Chanukah celebrations who mislead millions of people at home and around the world, because of news flashes within seconds of the event, who speak of Chanukah as

    The Chanukah candles at the windows and at the doors of Jewish homes was and is great publicity. Now in public spaces, the miracle cannot be delegitimized.

    It is very important that the men are also taught by Yirae Shomayim (those who have fear of Heaven) – nothing less will do.

    In www. artscroll under the Browse Categories Section then under Self Help section then under Dating and Marriage there are several interesting books including this one:

    A father’s wise guidance for wholesome human relationship, a happy marriage, and a serene home

    By Eliyohu Goldschmidt (Author) Rabbi Nosson Scherman (Foreword by)

    Special note : See the excerpt on the definition of “love” right on your computer by “turning the pages”.

    The riddle is solved: When is a combined religious committee or lobby group not interfaith? NEVER. And certainly not in living memory or prehistoric memory. By participating in interfaith one would be going against the foundation of Orthodox Judaism, has v sholom, a very very very big mistake. Just remember you are Jewish.

    Rav Moshe Feinstein did NOT allow the Aguda to lobby with any other religion on any level, religious , social nor political , you can check this for yourself.

    Every Jewish person is your friend. Also with less “friendly” coversation there might possibly be less chance of slip-ups in the department of lashon hara – I have overheard such conversation in public, with the defence beihg – “It’s O.K.-I’m her friend”!

    Be happy all is fine – you don’t have to live up to everyone’s expectations – which may not be suitable or right for you. Don’t feel lonely, you are not alone.

    Rav Moshe Feinstein specifically did not allow interfaith between other religions and Jewish people neither on a religious level nor on social nor on political levels, ever.

    In the summer months, a person on the road, in a car, who has a bottle of filtered water, a small jar of coffee, some sugar (if required) a polystyrene cup and a plastic spoon can make a cool or semi warm cup of coffee in the car, ( a variation of iced coffee without the ice, without the milk, cream or icecream) while parked in a safe place.

    Its also true its nice to sit in air-conditioned comfort, so is it possible to ask (for payment of the price of the coffee sold in the eatery ) for an empty, new, unused disposable cup to mix your own coffee while sitting down in the dining area?

    Would they release us from interfaith ( matters outlined in the posts above) willingly, with accord, even without being formally asked, and with real understanding – the understanding that we cannot and may not do that which is disallowed to us?

    It is very important that askanim express to the government what it is that they feel is the best for Jewish people – from our own unique perspective, in forums separate from other religions, and without any other interfaith, and for that they would be commended.

    The guiding principle is to ask oneself whether our own Moshe Rabbenu would have engaged in the way of interfaith under which heading all their behavior is listed. No. It also helps very much to remember Who is listening. Further, the repetitions of askanim in this fashion affects a whole community including impressionable children, in a line of thinking not in keeping with Orthodox Judaism. Promoting the idea of freedom of religion for anyone is superfluous because there is such a freedom in the USA already! and because according to our own beautiful and correct Orthodox Judaism we can only ask for our the freedom of own religious rights,solely on our behalf, and again – not on anyone else’s behalf, in separate forums, at different times, under our own banner.To argue the opposite shows to what extent interfaith has entered the minds of otherwise sensible Jewish people – we cannot say that askanim’s actions in interfaith have nothing to do with this. The only way “history” matters is to remember our own history and the consequences of not remembering what it teaches us, and what it is we have been promised that will be apportioned according to our own behaviour.

    It is time that askanim withdraw from Associations of Independent Faith Based Schools or Institutions and suchlike. What is our reason? – fine tuning,new direction,reassessment.

    We are very fortunate that governments are understanding of our needs and are so kind and willing to help us.They also understand that we have a special way of communicating with them how they can best do this.

    P.S some of the ingredient lists on a lot of food packages are so small they are often unreadable.

    Please, can the ingredient lists be made a point 14,to make them readable, perhaps even in legislation.

    I know some packets are too small for this, so how about a protruding sticker?

    It could also induce manufacturers to reduce the number of their ingredients,if self life and taste are not compromised.

    slicha, but D I R T Y ?fries? What’s in a name. What next?!

    Also,some people could wrongly assume the fries in question are “sour cream flavour” ,therefore wrongly deducing that is why they are not “dairy” designated.

    A hechsher is supposed to make it all easier,much easier.
