    @neville, what are you talking about? “Keser” is mentioned in rishonim. Putting baruch sheamar in the middle [of shabbos psukei dezimra] is brought down in the Tur.

    a prime example of why not to entangle ourselves with ta’ama dekra, and just suffice with “kach tzivani haborei.”

    And according to Ashkenazic tradition, the plural is “shtuyos”.

    Great question.
    Answer: it’s a community of very similar, judgemental people , who therefore become very guarded and –shall we say,–insecure.

    “The vast majority of Chareidim will never accept any candidate for the Melech HaMashiach who is …a Baal Teshuvah…even though there is no Halachic reason why those people should be automatically disqualified…”
    i think the rambam says that moshiach will be muchzak bechassidus from a young age. But I might be mistaken.

    what’s the difference between reishis tzmichas geuloseinu and aschalta degeula?

    @always
    was that a reply to me? You’re proving my point. There are many avenues Hashem may take for the Geulah. It need not come about through the state. What makes the state aschalta degeula?

    Now on to the spin off:
    “rashis tzmichas geulosienu,” which someone here said even R’ Isser Zalman and R’ TPF used, shocks me. Because if you delve into it, what they’re saying is that the geulah will come THROUGH the state of Israel. Which means that the State will be the impetus for kibbutz goliyos, and then Moshiach will come.
    But that’s a direct contradiction to “achakeh low bchol yom sheyavoi ” because if it comes THROUGH the state, then naturally it won’t happen in one second. It will take years until a state builds up. But if we’re waiting for any day, then the kibbutz goliuyos could happen in one second, al kanfei nesharim, and will have nothing to do with the state.

    “We must daven for the galus hashechina to be revealed again. We don’t understand the tzaar of Hashem.”
    So if we don’t understand it how are we expected to feel it?

    Participant

    what does the tzaar of the shchina mean? The shchina is the presence of Hashem. Wouldn’t it make more sense to say Hashem’s tzaar? And all midos of Hashem are actually hanhagos, so the shchina is not actually betzaar.

    Myth 1: I thought that Hashem loved everyone, including reshaim.
    Fact: He doesn’t. [There are several sources for this, the pasuk “Hashem oheiv tzadikim” being a good start.]

    Myth 2: Judaism is male chauvinistic.
    Fact: Judaism is female chauvinistic.

    Myth 3: You can’t play Monopoly on Shabbos.
    Fact: If you may play Monopoly ever, then Shabbos is no different.

    Myth 4: Earth revolves around the sun.
    Fact: There is insufficient evidence whether Earth is geocentric or heliocentric.

    wow mesivta world!

    Just my 2 cents. [not “my”, as in original, “my” as in “parroted”)

    Avira quotes an unnamed RY that R’ Aharon held R YB to be an apikores…..yet he invited him to speak at the chinuch atzmai event. Tiyuvta.

    I was once in his house and a woman was in his kitchen, or side room, maybe (sometimes the gabbaim allowed women in, i don’t know what it depended on, I had heard this woman asking before I went in; apparently ,permission was granted). It was the end of the night, R’ Chaim looked very worn out, anyway, he looked up a bit (seemed to me the way I might stretch my back, like being a bit worn out. I might be wrong about the exact psychology behind his looking up and slightly to the side. Anyway,) he saw her, and instantly, as though his eyes had been burnt, looked back down.

    (One last parentheses: I don’t think the woman was supposed to have made herself visible to R’ Chaim.)

    “maybe people realize that sometimes giving attention to those who crave it may create a pattern of emotional dependency where they keep coming back to you for more in desperation”

    I would hear that but it doesn’t make sense that people tell others “shh. he’s just doing it for attention.” Are they that considered about others being the attention-seeker’s desperation korban?
    Also, they’ll say things like “Don’t do xyzzy, if u want attention, say “I want attention.” That sounds like their just being balei gavia like user176 said, that they have to prove they know the motive behind everyone’s actions.

    “Like that friend that always makes the joke and immediately looks at you to see your reaction. Not everyone enjoys that”
    Spot on! But i feel ppl are more likely to give a chesed laugh to a stupid joke than give attention to someone seeking it. And i never heard someone say, “don’t laugh at his stupid joke.” if they don’t want to laugh, fine, they’re not stopping anyone else from it.

    “people crave attention”
    Why is that?

    “a few times a week that somebody wants to show me some clip on their phone or demands that a listen to some song (isn’t it great?). this is beyond all pale of normalcy and must be purged from our society asap.”
    What’s the matter? Technology? or it’s too often?

    Huh participant? Is that sarcasm or what? I can’t figure t out.

    But u asked a good question. let me explain. the root of attention might be immaturity (n, immature= adj) but so what? IF someone does something normal because of immaturity u don’t have to call him out on it. Bad stuff because of immaturity does have to be stopped. So jumping on a chair and screaming in class, don’t encourage that immaturity. But something else, who cares?
    For example , I remember someone eating a lemon. I guess that he did it for attention, because I can’t think of any other reason someone would do it. Maybe I’m right, maybe not, but the point is let’s assume it was for attention. Is there any reason I have to ignore him because he’s “just doing it for attention?” Who cares?

    If someone asks you to borrow money so he can buy candy, do you purposely not lend him so he’ll grow up?

    “Everyone wants attention”
    Why is that?

    “eople who brush others off as “wanting attention” are just proud of themselves that they know how to read people. If they really cared they would simply give the person the attention they thought he was seeking.”
    The point I was making. Plus they’re often wrong.
    I just don’t know why attention was the thing so zoiche to this.

    coffeddict, not what I said at all. The math class was an example of not seeking attention. Even people doing mature things if perceived by the attention police as sn attention seeking effort then they will make sure not to respond.

    I understand not encouraging immaturity. That’s not the issue here.

    First of all, why’s it immature, second of all, let’s say it is. You can’t humor the immature?
