August 15, 2025 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm in reply to: Three Oaths essay from Rabbi Avraham Rivlin of Kerem B’Yavneh #2438426SQUARE_ROOTParticipant
Arizal stated that the Gimel Shevuot [Three Oaths] did not apply after 1,000 years of exile.
Meaning we could have come up by force to conquer Israel after that.
But we did not even do that.
SQUARE_ROOTParticipantOn 2025 August 14 at 10:54 am,
in a discussion titled: “Where does Joseph/UJM live”,
GadolHadofi described UJM as:__________________________________________
“…the arch-troll who lives a very rich fantasy life.In other words, he’s a nasty, compulsive liar
who can’t even do that very well.Not surprising, given his highly questionable genealogy.”
__________________________________________
I did not write those words; GadolHadofi wrote those words.August 15, 2025 6:20 pm at 6:20 pm in reply to: Three Oaths essay from Rabbi Avraham Rivlin of Kerem B’Yavneh #2438425SQUARE_ROOTParticipantוכבר אמרו רז”ל כי זמן השבועה היא עד אלף שנים
SQUARE_ROOTParticipantOn August 5th, I disagreed with this discussion,
and I recommended that this entire discussion be deleted.Since then, UJM has started a new discussion, titled:
“The Fourth Reich of Israel”.I changed my mind. I was wrong.
Everyone should know where UJM lives and what he looks like.
Everyone should know where UJM works and what his job is.
Everyone should know where UJM prays and learns.UJM is a Baal Motzi Shem Ra against MILLIONS OF JEWS.
UJM is a MOSAIR against MILLIONS OF JEWS.
UJM is a RODAIF against MILLIONS OF JEWS.
What is the punishment for being a Baal Motzi Shem Ra against MILLIONS OF JEWS?
What is the punishment for being a MOSAIR against MILLIONS OF JEWS?
What is the punishment for being a RODAIF against MILLIONS OF JEWS?

“There were indeed very many great Sephardi Achronim,
who most Ashkenazim haven’t heard of. In all fairness,
the ‘fame’ of an Acharon usually is related to the availability of his Sefer.”__________________________________________
MY RESPONSE:In the 1800s of the Common Era, there were many printing presses
in Europe that mass-produced books.But in the Turkish Ottoman Empire,
where most Sephardic Jews lived, at that time,
these printing presses were very rare.A Jew living in the Turkish Ottoman Empire
might have to travel 1,000 miles to publish his book.Even in our times, there are dozens of unpublished manuscripts,
written by the Sephardic Rabbis of the Turkish Ottoman Empire,
that are still manuscripts only, and have NEVER been published!August 14, 2025 9:32 am at 9:32 am in reply to: Wish I Could write, re Hamas, as well as this guy #2437985SQUARE_ROOTParticipantYechiell said:
“Why are people so blind and foolish?”
__________________________________________MY RESPONSE:
Because the neo-Marxist Mainstream News Media (MSM)
has been propagandizing against Israel relentlessly,
since the early 1970s, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.After many decades of working non-stop to turn
public opinion against Israel by ANY means possible,
the Mainstream News Media has finally succeeded
in destroying Israel’s reputation,
which has been they goal 365 days a year,
for more than 50 years.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantUJM just committed Motzi Shem Ra against MILLIONS OF JEWS.
Could someone please explain to us:
What is the punishment for Motzi Shem Ra against MILLIONS OF JEWS?
August 13, 2025 4:14 pm at 4:14 pm in reply to: Thank you Bibi for Israel’s Starving the Terrorists of Gaza #2437900SQUARE_ROOTParticipantIn the 1980s, an Orthodox Rabbi from Brooklyn
wanted to expel all Arabs from Israel.Even Henry Kissinger, who was never a friend
of Israel in any way, agreed that all of the
Arabs should have been expelled from Israel.If only we had taken his logical advice,
then the Sbarro’s pizza store bombing
of 2001 CE never would have happened.If only we had taken his logical advice,
then the 2014 CE Gush Etzion kidnapping
and murder of the youthful:
Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar & Naftali Fraenkel —
never would have happened.If only we had taken his logical advice,
then the massacre of 2023 October 7
never would have happened.
And the hostage problem that resulted.If only we had taken his logical advice,
then we would not be in a difficult situation
where most nations recognize a “Palestinian State”.If only we had taken his logical advice,
then we would not be in a difficult situation
where Israel’s government wants to draft Chareidim.But the Leftists and Socialists rejected his excellent
advice, because it was not Politically Correct.And the Chareidim ignored him,
even though he was an Orthodox Rabbi,
because he was not one of their own Chareidi Rabbis,
and also because they don’t care about anything,
except for constantly learning Torah all the time.CONCLUSION: Rabbi Meir Kahane ZTL ZYA HYD
was 100% correct, and everyone else was WRONG.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantIn Eretz Yisrael, there are 80 yeshivahs where the students
spend half their time studying Torah, and spend half their time
defending Jewish lives and defending Jewish land.Some people pretend that these 80 yeshivahs do not exist at all.
SQUARE_ROOTParticipantThis has nothing to do with the mesirah and hate of anti-Zionism.

HaKatan responded with name-calling, which is immature,
and the tactics used by Socialists, and Motzi Shem Ra,
and bullying and intimidation tactics.HaKatan likes to accuse people [falsely] of being
heretics and idol-worshippers.HaKatan and UJM have repeatedly proven themselves
to be guilty of Motzi Shem Ra, and both of them are
worthy of being known as Rodaif and Mosair,
who do not care if millions of Jews are murdered by Arabs,
so long as they accomplish their goal of “peacefully”
dismantling the State of Israel.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantnone2.0 said:

SQUARE_ROOTParticipantHaKatan said:
“… the Zionist invasion …”
__________________________________________
MY RESPONSE:HaKatan’s misuse of the word “invasion” is Motzi Shem Ra.
It is also kefirah, because he indirectly denies the words
of Tanach which teach that Eretz Yisrael is the land of Jews.In 1920 CE, the League of Nations designated Eretz Yisrael as Jewish land.
In 1948 CE, the United Nations designated Eretz Yisrael as Jewish land.HaKatan chooses to ignore these facts, because they
contradict his precious preferred narrative of hate.SQUARE_ROOTParticipant“His stringency to not leave Eretz Yisrael was ironclad.

2025 August 7 at 1:20 PM in the YWN Coffee Room in a discussion titled:
“Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and the modern State of Israel”:__________________________________________
Some major Rabbis held that the Three Oaths are NOT in force anymore,
including: Rabbi Chaim Vital, Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, and Rabbi Shlomo Kluger.Even if they were in force, in 1948 CE, there were many Rabbis who held that
they were not violated, because the League of Nations and the United Nations
Organization both voted to establish a Jewish state, in 1920 CE and 1948 CE,
so the State of Israel was NOT established by force.Also, the oath not to go to Eretz Yisrael in large numbers requires
more than half the Jews in the world —- this is the opinion of
the Shittah Mekubetzes, the Maharal, and Rabbi Yonasan Eybshitz.The Torah Temimah held that it only refers to when people are
forced to move to Eretz Yisrael, not when they do so voluntarily.So do not falsely claim that all Rabbis held that they are in effect,
or that Israel violated them.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantYankel Berel said:

of 1929 CE was because of the Zionists,
and before the Zionists, the Jews in Israel lived safely.This is historically false.
How do you explain the Tzfat Riots in 1834 CE or 1838 CE?
How do you explain the anti-Jewish riots by Muslims,
before the year 1,000 CE?Not everything can be blamed on the Zionists.

In response to Hamas’ October 7 [2023] atrocities and Israel’s war
against terrorism, Agudath Israel of America is organizing an ongoing
“Virtual Washington Mission” to impress upon the nation’s elected officials
the importance of their continued support for Israel and to solicit their aid
in helping to address the security challenges currently facing American Jews.Agudath Israel’s Washington Office has worked closely with the organization’s
nationwide regional offices to coordinate the virtual meetings with
over 30 senators and congresspersons. And more are being arranged.
Some members expressed their desire to have in-person meetings,
which were convened in their home districts.The agenda of these meetings has included the need for Congress
to back up Israel’s rooting out of Hamas, to condemn and isolate
the terrorist group, the safeguarding the hostages, and to quickly
pass legislation to provide Israel the military aid it urgently needs.In addition, the activists are expressing concern regarding the
dramatic uptick in antisemitic incidents in the U.S., particularly
those experienced by Jewish students on America’s college campuses,
and urged the members to support a substantial increase in federal
security grants that support shuls, schools and other community institutions.The mission’s participants include hundreds of rabbinic and
lay leaders across the country, all meeting with their respective
members of Congress. Participants report that the reaction
of the senators and congresspersons has been overwhelmingly
positive, and receptive to the Jewish community leaders’

CRIED when they heard that “OUR soldiers” had been killed.Notice that Rabbi Paysach J. Krohn refers to them as “OUR soldiers”,

and even though they took orders from Secular/Chiloni commanders and a Secular Jewish State.Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rabbi Leizer Shach CRIED

The bare-headed driver had an earring in one ear, and he seemed angry and bitter.
There was a stony silence in the taxi as the driver wound around small side streets at breakneck speed.
Finally my brother broke thev silence and said in Hebrew, “Anu Achim” (We are brothers).”
the incensed driver responded angrily, “Anu Lo Achim” (We are not brothers)!
Atah Dati Va’Ani Lo Dati (You are religious and I am not religious)!”My brother said softly, “My rebbi taught me that those who
are dati (religious) and those who are not dati are brothers.”The driver turned to my brother and asked with disdain, “Who was your rebbi?”

because the Mainstream News Media already
performs that role, and for free.I cannot justify enjoying myself with music,
when the Jewish world is in chaos.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantWhen the Melech HaMashiach finally comes,
Chabad will be in very big trouble,
because they will REJECT the Melech HaMashiach,
because the Melech HaMashiach will NOT be Rabbi Schneerson.The Melech HaMashiach will then have the Halachic authority
to execute [kill] the entire membership of Chabad,
because that is the Halachic penalty for anyone who
rebels against a king from the dynasty of King David.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantDo an internet search on “Jewish music”.
August 5, 2025 7:26 pm at 7:26 pm in reply to: Moshe Rabbeinu criticizes 2 tribes for not wanting to fight for the Land #2434294SQUARE_ROOTParticipantMoshe Rabbeinu was not the only Biblical prophet
who criticized Jews for not fighting for the Land of Israel.__________________________________________
In Tanach, Sefer Shoftim, [the Book of Judges] chapter 5,
the Prophetess Deborah [Devorah HaNeviyah],
sings a Divinely-inspired song.In chapter 5, verses 12 to 16, the Prophetess Deborah
publicly praises those Jews who fought against the enemies of Israel.Then she publicly REBUKES those Jews who
did NOT join the fight against the enemies of Israel.__________________________________________
In Tanach, in Sefer Shmuel Aleph, chapter 18, verse 7,
we see Shaul HaMelech and the General of Shaul’s Army,
David ben Yishai. (This was before David became King.)They are both returning home from recent victory in war.
We see the Jewish women publicly praising both of them:
“SHAUL HAS SLAIN HIS THOUSANDS AND
DAVID [HAS SLAIN] HIS TENS OF THOUSANDS.”PERSONAL NOTE:
From this we see that the soldiers who fight our enemies
deserve to be publicly praised and thanked.__________________________________________
Tanach, Nechemiah, chapter 4, verse 8:“And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles,
and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people:‘Be not afraid of them!
Remember HaShem, who is great and awesome,
and FIGHT FOR YOUR BROTHERS, your sons
and your daughters, your wives and your houses!’”______________________________________________________________
Babylonian Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin, page 72A:“If you see someone coming to kill you, then arise and kill him first.”
PERSONAL COMMENT:
In our time, Hamas and Hezbollah are coming to kill us.
For Jews to arise and kill them first is not merely permitted,
it is required by Torah Law.August 5, 2025 8:08 am at 8:08 am in reply to: The Peaceful Dismantlement of the State of “Israel” #2433930SQUARE_ROOTParticipantHaKatan said:
“The Zionist army is shmad. Period. It is expressly designed for that.”

MY RESPONSE:What you just said is Motzi Shem Ra
AND gross ingratitude
AND Sinat Chinam
AND machloket.The punishment for Motzi Shem Ra is extra-ordinarily severe.
Your punishment for gross ingratitude & Sinat Chinam & machloket,
they will also make you wish that you had never been born.Your teachers will also receive extra-ordinarily severe punishment.
SQUARE_ROOTParticipantWe need a new pre-nuptial agreement which requires that
every new child be DNA-tested, as-soon-as-possible [ASAP],
to determine if the husband-of-the-mother is the father of the child.If the test result is negative, then it should be published in
Jewish newspapers, like: Yated, YWN, Matzav, Jewish Press, Binah, etc.In this way, we can prevent mamzerim from happening, IYH.
__________________________________________
We need as new pre-nuptial agreement which requires that,
in the event of divorce, the wife will NOT receive more
than the amount specified by The Ketubah.There must be no alimony or child-support,
only the amount written in The Ketubah.__________________________________________
In the event that divorce happened because the wife
committed infidelity, the pre-nuptial agreement should
specify that she receives NOTHING from her ex-husband:
no alimony, no child-support, and no ketubah money.__________________________________________
Those women who are innocent,
they have no reason to complain about any of this.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantWhy is this question anyone’s business?
Why is this question for discussion by strangers?
SQUARE_ROOTParticipantUJM said:
“They’re like the Democrats who want to import immigrants to vote for them.”
__________________________________________
MY RESPONSE:I agree with UJM 100%, and it was my intention to
make EXACTLY THE SAME comment that he made.Amazing! This is the 2nd time that this happened in 2 months!
Maybe the Melech HaMashiach really is coming very soon!

SQUARE_ROOTParticipantI vote to DELETE this entire discussion,
which never should have been started.This Coffee Room should be a place where
Jews respectfully disagree with each other,
by using facts and logic.This Coffee Room should *NOT* be a place where
Jews make personal attacks against each other,
especially so soon after Tisha BeAv.This entire discussion is much-too-close to
becoming a personal attack against one person.Again, I ask that the moderators DELETE this discussion.
Thank you.
July 30, 2025 2:28 pm at 2:28 pm in reply to: Rabbi Moshe Sherer and the modern State of Israel #2431747SQUARE_ROOTParticipantChaim87, I thanks you for answering my question.
If you are able to find the article from JEWISH ACTION
which says those things, then please do so.July 30, 2025 2:28 pm at 2:28 pm in reply to: Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch and the IDF (Israeli Army) #2431715SQUARE_ROOTParticipantThis is for Haimy:
__________________________________________
No one (including me) would attack the Kanoim
if only they would keep their big mouths shut.They run around criticizing everyone (except for themselves, of course)
and spewing hatred for everyone, while also using VERY provocative
and insensitive words, and then they whine when they are hated in return.When I first came to this web site,
I had no intention of attacking the Kanoim.As the weeks turning into months,
I began to notice that Kanoim
were attacking “The Zionists” relentlessly,
and at every possible opportunity.
Still, I had no intention of attacking the Kanoim.As many months passed by, the relentless attacks by the Kanoim
began to anger me. They repeatedly disrespected not only
Secular Zionists, but even the Religious Zionists!By doing this, they transformed me from a neutral observer,
into a permanent enemy.
The Kanoim never stop their stupid,
ignorant, wicked attacks, and I will never stop
using facts and logic to prove that they are WRONG.Additionally, the constant, relentless, never-ending attacks of the Kanoim
have caused me to HATE Chareidim and Chareidi-ism and they also
lowered my opinion of the Chareidi Gedolim, especially The Satmar Rebbe.If the Kanoim would stop their relentless, attacks against
both Secular and Religious Zionists, then I would stop also.
But they NEVER shut their mouths, so I also never stop
using facts and logic to refute their never-ending false accusations.MARK MY WORDS: The Kanoim are pushing The Jewish People
in the direction of a JEWISH CIVIL WAR, with Jews shooting
at each other and intentionally killing each other.After 120 years, The Heavenly Court will blame THE KANOIM
for the bloody JEWISH CIVIL WAR, because they caused it.
They will go to Gehinom – FOREVER!!!PS: The Kanoim are: HaKatan, UJM and SomeJewIKnow.
July 30, 2025 7:33 am at 7:33 am in reply to: Rabbi Moshe Sherer and the modern State of Israel #2431424SQUARE_ROOTParticipantWhat is the exact source for Chaim87’s quote from Rabbi Isser Zalman:
A state is something that we have not had for nearly two thousand years,
and now it is being offered to us — even if only in a small measure for now.
Please, do not reject it.
It is evident that it is from Heaven and is a sign of the beginning of redemption.”July 30, 2025 7:33 am at 7:33 am in reply to: Help finding that app for maximizing CC points #2431421SQUARE_ROOTParticipantSomebody recently told me this:
The Citi “DOUBLE CASH” MasterCard
pays 2% cash-back on all purchases,
regardless of category.Not “points”, but actual money.
If anyone knows a credit card that gives a better deal,
then please tell all of us, here in the YWN Coffee Room.Thank you.
SQUARE_ROOTParticipantHaKatan said this on 2025 July 28 at 8:56 AM:
“The Chazon Ish held that wine owned
by a Religious Zionist is yayin nesech.”__________________________________________
MY RESPONSE:This morning I sent an email to the highly-respected
Star-K of Baltimore kashruth certification agency.I asked them about “wine owned by a Religious Zionist”.
I repeated HaKatan’s claim exactly.They sent me an email back.
They said THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT.__________________________________________
CONCLUSION:HaKatan spoke falsehood. He LIED!!
Now that we know that HaKatan lied about The Chazon Ish,
how many other things did he lie about?July 29, 2025 3:35 pm at 3:35 pm in reply to: Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and the modern State of Israel #2431038SQUARE_ROOTParticipantYankel Berel: What is s/j? What is p/n?
