my rosh yeshiva told me that when the yom kippur war they cancelled bein hazmanim. while he agreed that it was the right thing to do he said the following zman was very shvach
I think Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer’s more nuanced approach is best. He wouldn’t make the assertions Simcha613 made but thinks it is very important for chareiedim to participate more in the IDF and society in general. not that that doesnt come with challenges or that it should be done wholesale and drastically.
halavei israel should be cut off from crippling US aid (crippling to our autonomy)
Moses died and his life mission was that of a good teacher to make himself superfluous.
sry i dont have anything specific to say about chasiduswe as Jews should care for the betterment for the people of America. having said that as amazing as the aid has been it comes with downsides for Israel and america. (Israels lack of autonomy, the american military industrial complex)
the wall was a good until Hamas took control of it. instead of keeping terrorists out it only allows terrorists in and out. did you know that Hamas leaders have been in and out of gaza several times in the past months.
someone posted his number if anyone wants to call Sinwar
+970599373765there is so much “Big”s out there getting in the way of good government if this is the only one he has soft spot for he’s still the best candidate
I’m not so familiar with Rabbi Millers approach but as you mention it is probably not so relevant anymore. Could you explain how the reason a kollel guy shouldnt take government handouts is because “a man is supposed to work”?
it is more likely because it is wrong to expect the average (non-jewish) tax payer to support your kollel lifestyle.
regarding your question about challenge going to treife college. this (or the treife workplace itself) has been a struggle for most frum yidden in past 100 years (200 years if you include western Europe). what im saying is that various specific challenges have been addressed and continue to be addressed. I would say its probably better to look at more contemporary adviceMy current understanding is that the Jews historically never fully conquered ארץ פלשתים. And therefore never sanctified it as halachic Israel status. It seems that it can be part of ארץ ישראל from the parsha/radan. 1967 may have been considered sanctification according to some.
@ujm @akuperma
the masterplan behing the oct7 massacre was a freed prisoner of one of these deals.
if a people support hurting a single jew it is our responsibility to kill all of them if necessary.
this is besides the requirement to drive or kill any gentiles in the Land who arent subjugated under proper ger toshav laws.There aren’t really any cooperations that fund Gaza. They’re funded from your tax or the union that you no choice but to be a part of.
Iran doesn’t export anything besides oil and terror. I guess you could using gasoline less.
There’s no way the average consumer could have a affectthe ideal solution would be for the 2.3 million gazans to live under strict jewish authority. where any infraction is punished with death. after many years of this they might learn to act like humans
I think the main thing preventing many religious people in Israel from adopting a more Kehana approach is the belief that all things Moshiach and most things E”Y are completely miraculous and therefore dont require our planning.
this prevents the haredi parties from long term strategic planningim not one to take side in this ancient mechlokos
i one time asked my rebbe if i should marry a Michlalah girl and he kind of shrugged his shoulders and said “i did”
there are definitely fine girls there. as one of the biggest seminaries its probably a good idea to get help getting roomed with a good chevra. also note that of course its very academicMaybe if you supported a string Israeli government they would build more and iyh kick out our enemies (Ramat eshkol is partially in E jerusalem)
Also @Bachur hachashuv I knew very great amazing people in Ramat eshkol (tbh I don’t really know anyone there at the moment
you should make chabad debate university and get PHD on the topic. im not that interested. if you want to read up on the subject read Prof David Berger’s book and identifyingchabad
4) it seems that mincha ketzara has been done a lot longer than chabad’s existence. i was told its mashma from the orech hashulchan that they even did heicha kdusha for shacharis too.
btw i was at a sfard minyan where they did heich kdusha too@EEEE
what would we name the Mesechta if the Greeks hadn’t invented the word ‘Senhedrin’. thats not a serious thing but on serious note the Gemara quotes Greek sources (for non halacha) often. The sefer Torah could be written in Greek letters.
theres something to chochmas yevanis other than Covid varient symbolsmajor troll. but for people who really dont understand. i suspect that most of the people you are referring to find the term a poor description or condescending. yes obviously one of the pitfalls of living in a frum non-chasidic community is that religious practices get stretched thin or ‘poorly reinterpreted’.
there are plenty of pitfalls of chassidic communities too.
if you wonder why i havent mentioned the litvish chereidim it is because they are largely similar to chasidim in this regard.the majority of my neighbourhood of rbsג is anglo chariedim learning in kollel (mostly british but also many americans)
this year there was huge number of olim like myself. about 10 new families a month in my half of the neighbourhoodi happen to have access to dovid lichtenstiens email and im also friends with the main editor, but i dont think i should post it here
fathers day card with a nice note?
this is a real concern and hopefully progress is being made
i know ur not allowed to post links
darchecha dot substack dot com/p/adding-transparency-to-tzedaka-organizationsI just noticed the YWN login seemed to change to wordpress accounts. weird. YWN always used wordpress. It’s a great CMS for normal blogs. I do not know if they use wordpress.com or selfhost/.org
i always liked the idea of letting only Leviim get public funding for learning. and maybe allow individual levi to swap places with a yisroel if they want.
wouldn’t this system keep everyone happy?
sorry i didn’t realize it was from a long time ago, but they still are missing and maybe there in meron somewhere today
three people seemed to have disappeared

in the Milchamos Hashem on the rif
the gemara menachos basically says you need techeiles (unless the garment is ripped)
Menachot 39b implies that a silk garment doesn’t need techeiles because its only derabanan
the ramban said ‘R’ Zerachiah HaLevi did not wear any tzitzit his whole life’
Meor is on the rif 11b shabbos (rif daf)the Ramban quotes the Maharam saying that one shouldnt wear tzitzis today because it requires tcheiles. In which case cotton or poly is better. using today’s tcheiles isn’t better in this regard because its unlikely the right type & tying pattern.
i think i’ve seen his picture used as rat deterrence. not that I support that practice whatsoever. my point is people make strange things out of pictures of holy people and its very hard for me to tell much about a person even when seeing him live.
Yes it seems COR (kashruth council of Canada) has finally relented and allows it
There’s a new siddur that came out recently by rabbi Feigenbaum. It’s an amazing siddur made for teenagers that has translation, notes, and appendices. what is unique about is that it fills a void that is felt strongly by today’s youth. It addresses topics that most don’t such as why guys thank hashem for not creating them women and were men not created in His will.
from as much as I’ve seen it so far it is an incredible work
