Sam, that can be, especially since we hold that Psik Reisha D’lo Nicha Lei is Muttar.
However, would you call it K’siva if I come right be fore it goes on and just stand there? How about if before it goes on I quickly leave, is that like writing the wall behind me?
In case you wouldn’t call these K’siva, which is what I imagine and hope, why is moving different?
It was just a pun.
Due to the known hazards of texting one may only use it if he has the T9 installed.
Sam2, why’d you say that? We find often in Gemara statements about Talmidei Yeishu Hanotzri. I would say the other way around — calling him Oyso Ha’ish started later, when we had to start avoiding the censors.
Oomis, the Halacha is that we are not supposed to mention the name of an Avoda Zara, Lo Yishoma Al Picha. That is what we are doing by not mentioning his name. If you may not eat something it can be because it is Kodshim or Tamei. Same here.
You can make a campaign and post different signs. You can find one or two people to join you and make a growing project out of the Davenning Awareness program.
I really don’t don’t get it. The machine is writing regardless whatever it sees. My being there doesn’t change anything other than what it will write.
One Gadol said that if this would be an issue you would be able to walk in the street since there are satellite cameras.
It is when there would otherwise be a Mabul. The stuff that caused the mabul is what necessitates a reminder not to bring one. Unfortunately, people have let their guard down in this area, be it by action, by sight, listening or discussing. Thanks for the reminder.
Ksiva!? You are not writing or recording, the machine is doing that. Your action is what it is writing.
Small boats move for larger boats. Both airplanes turn right. Single stroller moves for double stroller. Walking man moves for stationary man. Queen’s boat moves for lighthouse.
If you don’t want to walk straight in or move aside, do what ZeesKite does, stand still. I also usually move to the building which leaves out the option of being forced into the street.
ohr, it means Ben Pondira.
It means your filter is due for an update.
The Chasidishe Hashgachos rely on the OU very often. So, if you turn down the OU, everything else comes along.
This story looks to me more like an oversight. Why would you have to disparage the whole organization?
Well, if you take the Medrash litterally, his ankle was 30 Amos high. MOSHE rabbeinu was ten Amos tall, his stick was ten Amos, and he jumped ten Amos to hit his ankle. An ankle is usually around a Tephach from the soul. A person is considered three Amos tall, not including the head, so the ankle is an 18th of the height. That would put his shoulders at 540 Amos high.
The only problem is, being that he wasn’t quiet built to normal proportions, we can’t really tell if his ankle was higher relatively, or lower, than other humans. It would seem that he was way more muscular than his height would account for, since he was able to lift a mountain.
The Torah says that his bed was 9 Amos wide. It uses the term Arisa which some say means his crib. So, a normal person’s bed is three times longer than its width. A normal person’s bed is like four or more times the length/width of a bassinette. That means, his bed as an adult should have been at least 85 Amos.
Get umbrella insurance.
The Jewish media decides. They get to choose who is Maran Harav, Posek Hador, Gadol Hador, Rabbi, Rebbe, Rebbi, Reb, and R’. They even get to choose who is the Rebbe D’… or Mi…
mdd, they might disagree on certain things but it’s a far cry from thinking of them as Apikursim or as Shabsai Tzvi followers.
Some people are Makpid on fish and milk but not fish and cheese.
Being that fish and meat is a Sakana and not a Din, you would have to know which part of the fish is the Sakana. Probably not the entire fish.
Itche, put it this way. The Chasam Sofer’s main complaint was that you have to Daven with the Shaar of your Shevet, and that Ashkenazim have one Shaar. The Rokeach mentioned above is also in the same vein.
The Chasam Sofer said that the Arizal Davened Sfard because he was a Sfardi. The Divrei Chayim and Minchas Elazar argued strongly about this, proving that the Arizal was in fact Ashkenazi — just like his cousins, the Maharshal and REb Eliyahu Baal Shem. Also, his Nusach was closer to Nusach Ashkenaz than to Nusach Sfard.
If your problem is getting the Teffila answered due to its corelation to the holy realms, than the Arizal is the one to depend on, unless you go with the Chasam Sofer that the Arizal merely followed his Mesora. It is taken for granted that the Arizal’s grasp in Kabbala was greater than anyone before him, dating back to the Geonim.
I wonder if the Chasam Sofer would have been against the change had he not been in a time where there were many changes going the other way.
ItcheSrulik, it might not be that clear. His Siddur was a Nusach Ashkenaz Siddur. But, Nusach Ari Siddrim weren’t around yet. He might have made the changes, anyhow. It’s a matter of turning the page this way, that way, and give or take a few words here and there.
You say that the Gedolim of Ashkenaz established their Nusach. What did they have before that?
Too bad you didn’t catch the Arizal in time.
Define the Halachic problem. The Chasam Sofer didn’t find any actual Halachic problem when he complained about it. Did you find something he missed?
Simcha, it doesn’t really matter how it became this way. The fact is that it is this way today. Changes happen gradually and there is little value inherent in the specific clothing, but the point is that we have our own clothing, which was always considered a good thing.
I can’t promise you that we always dressed so differently. In fact, it seems that at times it was pretty easy to confuse a Jew for a non-Jew. Very often the differences were subtle. But there was always a point to dress Jewish. Today, there is no universal dress code for all Orthodox Jews, but to those that have it, it’s real.
If you are looking for that type of thing we have the Lo Sashchisu Mitzva. In fact, the reasoning the Torah gives is that the tree can’t run away. That sounds like there is a point to having Rachmanus on a tree.
Trees have feelings, too.
Well supposedly…
Sam2, is it really Avoda Zara? The dance in itself is probably not a form of worship, just based on the Avoda Zara idea. It might classify as Kishuf.
The only question is, if it doesn’t work can it be called Kishuf? According to the Rambam that no Kishuf works, obviously it goes after the Kavana. Otherwise, it might have to be ‘real’ Kishuf.
I noticed the same phenomenon about drinking on Purim.
Kasha Yoma D’mitra Kiyoma Dedina.
Gadol Yoma D’mitra Keyom Techias Hameisim.
Do you have to be on Aish to be kosher? Which planet do you live in that you think everyone or most people with an internet connection are visiting the wrong places!?
Sam2, in his Iggeres Teiman he says that there is a Remez that Nevua will return at a date close to his time. It might be referring to the Baalei Ruach Hakodesh like the Ri Sagi Nahar.
Anyhow, Shibud Malchus is the main change. However, we know that Nevua will return and we know that the Shechina will return. Those come with many by-products. During the time of Eliyahu Hanavi and Elisha the Teva wasn’t different but there were Nisim. When someone lost a donkey he would ask a Navi, like Shaul did, where it went. Whatever I mentioned is normal and expected when the world is Kitikuno.
The rain being on time and the extra Hatzlacha are just like it was in the Midbar or under any Melech Yarei Shamayim. That is Shmuel’s Shita.
Sam2, according to the Rambam it will still be a natural world, but not like today. He does describe it as everything being Mutzlach. Nevua will be back. When a person is sick he will be able to ask a Navi what brought it on and how to get rid of the sickness. A Navi performs miracles, too. The Shechina will rest among Klal Yisroel more than it ever did. All the Brachos of Kol Hamachla Asher Samti Bimitzraim Lo Asim Alecha and many others will be fulfilled. That doesn’t mean the undoing of the natural world.
What about the Peyos? Is it visible, until the ear, until the cheek, chin, chest or belt? Is it straight, curled, Geknipped, behind the ear or wrapped around it?
Did anyone really notice them or do we know about it from reports?
‘Troll’ is the most overused and misunderstood word used on this site.
am or pm?
We won’t need surveilance because it is always guarded. There might be a problem with having wiring in the walls being that they were so careful with the stones not being cut with metal.
As far as using inventions, even Hakadosh Baruch Hu uses inventions. The Merkava that yecheskel Hanavi saw used wheels which were invented by the Egyptions.
I really don’t think ZK’s absence has anything to do with one hothead’s remarks. Perhaps ZK is busy these days or was inspired by the Asifa to waste less time. Perhaps a little of both.
You can’t Pasken after drinking too much of it.
Most filters filter the type of site rather or besides the text content. You can always add a site or a category of sites to the white-list. Either you can do it yourself or you can call/email the customer service and they add it in.
The size does not relate to confidence. (I’m writing this in small.) You look at the ratio of the three regions.
Keep in mind that each specific hint may mean a few different things. A graphologist has to evaluate the general picture to see what everything points to.
It depends how nice you want to be.
Sometimes it may have to do with the house, as in some Reb Yehuda Hachasid stuff.
It probably means that when someone has Betachon Hashem helps him, not because of Zechusim, only as a product of his having Betachos. When you drink a cold drink you get cooled off as a product of your actions, not due to a decision in heaven to cool you off. The same is with Betachon.
Knowing this allows you to have Betachon, since you won’t be thinking how will Hashem help you if you aren’t this great Tzaddik. In fact, when we Daven, we always ask that Hashem help because He is a Shomea Teffila, not because of our personal merit — which we are never that sure about.
PCOZ, you might have to look for it under a different name. Try Yiush, Atzlus, Atzvus, Simcha, Zrizus, Charitzus, Madreigas Ha’adam, and Maalas Yisroel.
Popa, you are probably right about most of the time. However, the human needs a brain to work. All thoughts and emotions are created and played out with the brain. There is a concept of malfunction just as there is with any other body part. I imagine you agree to this as well.
When I mentioned someone who learned a lot, especially Lishma, I wasn’t just talking about a Rov. Learning Torah trains the mind to be much more perceptive than a course in personalities.
Just like not every Rov will do, so too, not every therapist will do. There are like five categories that some will initially try to fit any client, whether they got into an in depth relationship or not. There’s depression, OCD, AD(h)D, Aspergers, anxiety. Not being one of them almost automatically means you are the other type.
Most issues and complexes can be dealt with using true ‘common sense’. The art of penetrating into one’s soul to find what is really bothering him is not reserved for degree holders. Nor is it a trait guaranteed to them.
Unlike history and medicine, the human psyche is readily available to all. It is an internal knowledge. Having a connection to a real Talmid Chacham gives a person wisdom. But obviously, he is not the one for therapeutic methods.
Make fun and dismiss what?
Sam, The attitude of following the Arizal and the Zohar Hakadosh didn’t start by the Arizal. The Rambam attitude didn’t start by the Rambam, either. However, the specific approaches did keep their shape, pretty much.
Attitudes are part of Toras Imecha, they go over better Midor Lidor.
PCOZ, chemical balance is not for psychological therapy. For that one needs medication.
Self confidence is the normal, natural emotional state of not having negative feelings about yourself. The Chovos Halevavos says that the kind of Hachna’a that comes from actually being week and subdued is not a special Mida. That is like the animal in a yoke, that happens to be aware of the fact that there is a yoke over him. An Oved Hashem has a Lev Nishbar, knowing that he does not come close to completion, and has, alongside that, a great Simcha and positive disposition, realizing his great purpose and aware of his abilities.
Self confidence is about realizing your abilities, not your achievements. Realizing achievements may help you to realize your abilities. Lack of self confidence is not a Maala in any sense.
