I think it is a symptom of Chani from Flatbush Syndrome
I’ve heard the likes of this Avira type nonsense a hundred times. That the Arabs were our best friends until the ‘zionists’ showed up. It is a complete blindness to thousands of historical facts and accounts. This is ignorance at its very height on par with the levels of deceipt that are themselves driving Jew hatred and holocaust denial. It is also horrific slander and denial to that thousands of Jews slaughtered in Iraq during WWII

You need to talk with a real life person
I know. Your point?
Avira, it doesn’t seem you even know the basics of Mishna Berura. Can you remember back to one of our earliest interactions? You might want to change your username
While we’re on the subject of shidducim, I met my wife on Jwed. After meeting with several top shadchanim suggested to me by rebbeim and friends, I realized rather quickly they weren’t interested in giving me the time of day (perhaps because I lost a parent as a teenager and don’t have an extensive social status or extended family). One shadchan who kept feeding my inbox with the most ridiculous resumes messaged me the same day I was engaged and asked who the shadchan was…
Sometimes only you know best, especially if no one else could care about your shidduch prospects.
There’s also more to my shidduch story, and there was tremendous hashgacha from Hashem on many occasions. But I just wanted to show that for some, it really is necessary to go and look for a wife on their own
@ujm what makes you say that?
Avira hates Eretz Yisrael. He doesn’t have a right to express his opinion here. The avira of eretz Yisrael is machkim, but apparently for some it just makes them coocoo
Let’s go Avira! Tear him down! The gall he has to suggest that anyone would EVER do that! Chalila! No one would ever ever ask these things, you must show him he’s crazy for even thinking it
Avira, your sichlus borders on kfira
Avira, have you forgotten Jersey City??? You should seriously be booted from the cr
You can make a thousand kugels with all the lokshon in this thread
Avira, why don’t you learn Ramban? Yes, the earlier generations did have super strength. The answer to the question is that we are cursed when we are in galus amd lack the brachos of the Torah. It’s a pasuk, ארור פרי בטנך
I’m sorry, but this is so ridiculously silly that it’s almost hysterical. Ki keshmo ken hu, your username befits you so perfectly. You are so obviously mufka as the sun shines every day. Please go learn the basics of Torah Judaism from a living breathing rebbe
It seems you are an outsider. I advise you go learn from a rebbe to educate yourself
No, he’s supposed to go outside and look for three more people to complete the minyan, talking freely while doing so, then come back and say yishtabach and immediately start barchu without waiting for his three captives to catch up
It is bad, but I think you should let him go just once or else it will just be worse.
However, more concerning is the kind of friends he seems to have. If he continues to accompany friends like these, it is certain he won’t be on the derech before long
Ujm mistook halacha for shiite islamism. It isn’t a sum game. It can very well be that Reuven is just very weird and has issues, or it can that he’s actually a huge parush. The point is, it depends on each person. If Reuven isn’t supposed to be machmir like he is, then I will be bold as to say that no, he won’t necessarily get more olam haha for doing it
It just so happened that there isn’t any such oath and never was. Some people are just very gullible
Avira, so let’s see
Avira, let’s see if you can say from memory the first three pesukim of any parasha (bar mitzva parashas excluded)
NO CHEATING!! GO!
Ujm, the gedolei Yisrael don’t approve of girls learning halacha? Sheker gamur.
Avira, so the GRA isn’t mesorah? He says that every boy must know all of tanach and be able to remember all of chumash b’al peh. The Rambam in hilchos talmud Torah, says that everyone must know all of mikra and dedicate a third of his limud to study mikra (unless he’s already a baki in all of Torah)
Ujm, girls are chayav to know all of the shulchan aruch that covers hilchos shabbos, kashrus, tefila, chametz, and much much more. Can you say you covered all that? It sounds like you’re a neo tzeduki
It already is taught and has been taught for ages. What planet are you from?
Avira is wrong. It doesn’t say anywhere oseh maaseh amcha in regard to that pasuk.
Also, not every Jew is a tzadik. The very definition of a tzadik is someone is not a beinoni. Someone who is never mesiach days from the Hashem (at least according to the best of his abilities).
They lied to you in preschool. Get over it. Maybe give your kids some quality chinuch yourself instead of entrusting all of their initial Torah learning to a handful of underpaid young women who are barely knowledgeable themselves. As a general rule, you cannot fulfill your obligation to teach your sons Torah by leaving it all to women. This is a great way to have your child off to a bad start.
The shtetl life mostly ended by the mid 19th century
Besides, there is no mitzva to financially benefit a heimish Jew over any other Jew who is shower Torah umitzvos. Perhaps we should seek to benefit talmidei chachamim, but they are rarely the ones to head big enterprises
Chachamim aren’t tools for marketing. And the fact is that there is hardly such a thing as a heimish company. Companies aren’t individuals
What exactly makes them heimish? Do you personally know the owners’ lifestyles?
This may nor seem obvious to some, but it is a very real concern.
If you separate the yeshivos from the school system, many thousands of families would stop sending their kids to yeshivos altogether. Some would suffice by homeschooling both lemudei kodesh (a terrible and devastating prospect) and lemudei chol. Others would end up accepting public schools as a legitimate option for their children. We would undo a hundred years of progress, only this time infinitely more catastrophic.Avira, what about all the hesder kolelim? Are they barely observant? They are definitely a lot more learned than you are
כל הפוסל במומו פוסל
There’s no maale whatsoever in in imitating 18th century European nobles
@rightwriter that’s exactly my point! People also ate food and did many things before matan Torah. It means absolutely nothing
Where does your question start? Hindus also eat food and breathe air. Does that mean anything at all?
@commonsaychel I don’t disagree at all with advanced planning. I was specifically replying to the op who asked about road trips. He didn’t mention a set destination such as Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia.
Aaq, according to the Rambam you would be allowed to travel by boat on a river on shabbos. That was a major conflict between him and the rosh yeshiva in Bavel of that time.
Instead of driving (literally) your family crazy looking for a fictitious minyan, why not open a shulchan archive? You’re only required to travel up to a certain distance to find a minyan. If there are no jews in your area, then why not fly to catch a minyan?
The reason why it is safer in other western countries is because people do actually own guns, regardless of what the law is
@Sam Klein, don’t be a רשע שוטה ופתי
Hundreds?? Are you sure? How CAN you be sure?
I’m not sure you dumped him. Maybe you couldn’t sit still for more than 3 minutes. Focus on improving your hasmadah
Reb Eliezer, thanks. That’s really great advice
Cs, I think this the origin story of every chasidus only with whiskey involved
Teenagers don’t follow shulchan aruch? What about kiddush, cos shel bracha, arba cosos?
I’m so confused. Why do you assume they are innocent just because they were born afterwards? Did they do teshuva?? How did they attempt to make ammends? Did they at the very least ask forgiveness?
All people are responsible for the sins and crimes of their ancestors so long as they have not taken any steps towards teshuva. That is also why we are responsible for the chet ha’egel, and that is why Mashiach did come in the days of Ezra, because they did not do a complete teshuva for avodah zara even though they were already the next generation. When we say viduy, we always acknowledge our fathers sins. Why? Is it just ceremonial, symbolic, or superfluous? It is an integral part of teshuva. It is absolutely fundamental to the process of atonement.
So yes, they are indeed guilty. And I suspect that are also proud of what their fathers and mothers did. If they have never even begged forgiveness, why would anyone think otherwise?Don’t answer if you agree
