ToiParticipant
Halevi and GAW- please dont tell me you thought i meant not holding hands in the street. what i meant was that GAW said that there are harchakos and people shouldnt be ablew to tell. thats not true. you cant let on your matziv through public affection- but you can pass the phone.
ToiParticipantfirst tell me what kefira aristotle held of then ill prove to you about R Schwab. joking. but point is why isnt a gadols written word, not heard third hand but his writings, not good enough for oyu? Why do you need to hear kefira to believe theres something wrong. do nyou make the expert in the shatnez lab show you the shatnez?! or do realize hes the qualified expert and not wear the suit, even if it fits.
ToiParticipantdo you remember computers that had a vlack background and only alien green type?
ToiParticipantso is not spitting in the street. yes, its illegal and you can get a ticket.
ToiParticipantOh no, not the apostrophe!
ToiParticipantim embarassed to admit that i frequently win on expert
ToiParticipantwho do you think you are to belittle Gedolim?! and Rmoshe did not, ever, make shvere assumptions. i think there is an actual chiyuv for you to be rebuked. you are talking about gedolei oilam who knew kol hatorah koolah. and you know 4 blatt in six mesechtos.

ToiParticipantplay minesweeper
ToiParticipantcuz clearly thats the north american mehalach. thought that was understood
August 17, 2011 9:20 pm at 9:20 pm in reply to: Teenage girls and older chewing gum on the street #800872ToiParticipantas a mashal- i know this is an exageration- its meant to drive home the point of having yiddish sensetivities- wearing shorts to kol nidrei on yom kippur isnt ossur, right? but you still wouldnt do it. sensetivities.
ToiParticipantyou cant kiss children in shul because its supposed to be a place where all your love is directed to Hashem and kissing a child doesnt shtim with that. GAW- theres no inyan for people not to know your matziv. can you source that?im interested in the mekor
ToiParticipantWritten rule or not, it is embarassing when the public is made aware of my semicolon infractions…
ToiParticipantthe gefilte fish
has no fins,nor any scales
and trouble swimming
ToiParticipantya waste of a shtick tzeit no?
August 17, 2011 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm in reply to: Teenage girls and older chewing gum on the street #800861ToiParticipantalot of people in here base their opinions on persoal life experiences and their own journey.you kno who you are. fact is its an association. just like maybe people with bushy eyebrows and a long nose are assumed to be mean. its a siman not a siba, what? but i still think it looks crude and grubbe.
August 17, 2011 7:40 pm at 7:40 pm in reply to: What is the cheapest cellphone plan in Israel for students? #798806ToiParticipantprobably orange/landau. twenty shek a month for 450 to kosher and 450 to landlines. everything else is half a shek a minute
August 17, 2011 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm in reply to: Kohanim not being able to go to exhibits with real dead people. #800188ToiParticipanti dunno people are weird. i happen to have stumbled into one such exhibit recently.im a yisroel. and goyim find freaky things interesting
ToiParticipantwhen youre a little older youll understand a little better what your rabbeim wanted from you and why it made sense. i understand your taaneh. give it time and keep at it and keep chazering. learn b’kius on your own (not shidchiyus- r shach in michtavim shrays against that,too) and learn seriously. youll remember and youll be surprised how much ground you can cover
August 17, 2011 2:56 pm at 2:56 pm in reply to: The Great Debate: Ultra-Orthodoxy vs. Modern Orthodoxy #798719ToiParticipantr avigdor miller deals with what scientists decided came from billions of years ago. he explains the fallacy of carbon dating which is what scientists generally use to date things. kind of a chicken and egg problem
ToiParticipantyichusdik im impressed.i was at all those places w my wife. the beaches arent so well known and are gorgeous. modesty, or lack thereof, is a problem both at the beaches and yorkville, and for sure at this time of year
August 17, 2011 9:54 am at 9:54 am in reply to: I think my kitchen is the most cluttered kitchen in the world (almost). #801244ToiParticipanthang a box from a hook in the cieling with a pully. if youre that desparate
ToiParticipantEats shoots and leaves!! a must for all.im generally very careful with my graamar but i type with one finger; that’s enough work for anyone, without semicolons
ToiParticipantmost people need some sort of personal incentive to follow strict rules which, from a beginers perspective, dont seem enjoyable and fulfilling. im sure your rov, rebbe, etc dont do it for the schar. we have to strive to get there.
ToiParticipantmods write subs. and to the dicussion b4- there are halachos about shmiras einayim. and while it may not bother you to see certain things (nebach) it doesnt mean its muttar. even looking at a part thats muttar is assur when done for hana’a
ToiParticipantya i think he died. nebach
ToiParticipantkiddush hashem and ohr lagoyim starts with working on ourselves, not doing things to sell judaism to the world
August 17, 2011 8:32 am at 8:32 am in reply to: Kohanim not being able to go to exhibits with real dead people. #800184ToiParticipantitch i already said i thought thats how we paskin.
ToiParticipantno offense to everone, but i think that a double standard is in place here. everyone here is ready to shrei chay vikayum about what certai gedolim said about derech halimud. (fine thats ok- even though i pointed out b4 that the gedolei north america have a way bigger haracha of R shach then we do and theyre still doing it so perhaps they might thought this through b4 allowing the masses to learn like this) its funny to point out that other things gedolim said seem to get brushed aside. i like to illustrate with the Chazon Ish ztl. Everyone knows the famous maaseh of how a top brain surgeon couldnt figure out a complicated surgery and when the Chazon Ish was asked he gave a simple solution that astonished all doctors involved. people hear this one and say wow ruach hakodesh, thats a gadol, he mustve been something. then they hear that the same man said that giyus bonos and sherut leumi is literally yaharog vi’al ya’avor and the response is..ya…well…he was extreme…we dont think so..etc. If you want to change systems and turn over north america(which im not saying is a bad thing) then dont pick the shittos that fit your agenda, rather, adhere to everything R shach said. and good luck with that, its not so easy
ToiParticipantEvery word of torah learnt is mikayim the world. i think kiyum ha’oilam is a pretty hefty contribution. R Aharon also says in mishnas R Aharon that due tot his its also the highest form of chessed
ToiParticipantim a whale
August 16, 2011 8:14 pm at 8:14 pm in reply to: Kohanim not being able to go to exhibits with real dead people. #800180ToiParticipantha i thought we paskened only bimaaga. sum1 else said i was wrong. on that hanochoh- with which i didnt see lihalachah- i said the shailah was pashut- which is the yeshivish way of saying the hanochoh was wrong.thats the hesbir behind my last post
August 16, 2011 5:13 pm at 5:13 pm in reply to: The Great Debate: Ultra-Orthodoxy vs. Modern Orthodoxy #798682ToiParticipant80- the gedolim didnt hold he erred. rather that wjat he did was a horaas shah. which doesnt apply to his actual hashkafa.
August 16, 2011 4:49 pm at 4:49 pm in reply to: Kohanim not being able to go to exhibits with real dead people. #800177ToiParticipantyou wouldnt need a tshuva for that. its a straight up issur
ToiParticipantya but not the no tachanun part. i forget where but it says in halocho that one who doesnt say tachanun on monday or thursday when supposed to is called a poretz geder. we dont need to be happy not to say it
August 16, 2011 4:45 pm at 4:45 pm in reply to: The Great Debate: Ultra-Orthodoxy vs. Modern Orthodoxy #798679ToiParticipanti did. im a yekke. and your associating R hirsch and MO to closely. you yourself should know R hirsch wouldnt approve. if you cant be true to yourself a what a gadols view really was then theres no point in continuing. o btw i dont know how you managed a thourogh study in htree weeks. im impressed
ToiParticipanti would propose that the rambam didnt praise aristo; solely his chochma. the rambam probably was also on the madreiga to be able to separate the negative hashpaos from the chochma itslef. to go nowadays into goyish halls of study where the ruach of tumah and kfirah permeates is alot more dangerous, especially for someone on our level
ToiParticipantWhen its time head to brisk or r’ tzvi. they do about twenty something blatt first seder in a winter zman.
ToiParticipantcuz it just means to be the closest to Hashem you can be and people will realize you, and by extention klal yisroel, is special
August 16, 2011 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm in reply to: Kohanim not being able to go to exhibits with real dead people. #800175ToiParticipantthe baalei mussar say that hte reason that certain mitzvos are kept by the frei ie pesach yom kippur milah and a few others is either because the frum keep it stringently and that makes a hashpa’ah (not the ‘them seeing it and getting a hashpa’ah, rather a haspa’a m’lima’aleh) so the frei do to. or its the actual ntrinsic kedusha of these specific mitzvos that saves the frei from abandoning them and draws them to these mitzvos

August 16, 2011 4:15 pm at 4:15 pm in reply to: The Great Debate: Ultra-Orthodoxy vs. Modern Orthodoxy #798676ToiParticipantR’ chaim ozer grodzinsky- clearly the posek of his dor and assumed “chareidi” called R hirsch a tzaddik gomur and that he was to the yekkish community what the sanzer ruv was to his. R yisroel salanter said that R hirsch was a gadol in nigleh and nistar. I would call that a haskomo, not that one is needed, from undisputed gedolei hador. i urge anyone who isnt clear on R hirsch hashkofo and ideal way of life to read his biography by artscroll. it will clear up a lot of your uncertainties.
ToiParticipantim not sure thats a an appropriate venue for a date. try near harborfront. nicely designed and very cool at night
ToiParticipantshkoich im quite aware. R shach also said that he would lie down in front of taxis to prevent tiyulim and R elyashiv assured crocs for Yom Kippur. shaychus? if the RYs of america and their biggest talmidim are doing this- they know what theyre doing. do you think you have more of a ha’arachah for r shach then then R yisroel neuman does? cuz i dont think you do. so if theyre still doing it then they understand all the issues.
ToiParticipantnot end of story. with deepest kavod for above comments i dont think the issue is whether the family approves, though its good they did and took nechama. the issue is whether this is the way that the am segula is supposed to deal with a tzara. by listening to a song, albeit a moving one? or does Hashem want us to strengthen our observance and be mekabel something etc. thats the issue
ToiParticipantah minyan gal you make me proud. wonderful place. just wonderful
ToiParticipantmy gut feeling is to agree. but the fact that this occuring on a wide scale must mean something.
ToiParticipantno CV dont entertain the thought. im probably the farthest rightwing person in here. (ay internet? good q. for another time and place and in private) what i meant was that klal yisroel has to go according to its current gedolim and we can be assured were doing ok if we follow the gedolim. if u go on your own system then who knows. and maybe R shach ztl was talking for EY or maybe even after a few years he’d be maskim nowadays. we cant know. but what our gedolim do and how they feer us now we can depend on
