    o dont be confused. what i meant with my tone was to express my indignation at the way the biggest RYs are being spoken about. they know what theyre doing. klal yisroel should trust its leaders. and thirty year old rabbonim (while choshuv-sometimes) are not klal yisroels leaders

    k thats not so smart. i dont think you get the issue. if cow is kosher then being makpid not to eat cow isnt praiseworthy- im sure youll agree its downright dumb.so. goyim arent mitaameh b’oihel- i believe thats how w we paskin. if so there is no halachic grounds for a kohen not to go in. and anonymous, roiv here isnt bassar vichalav. if roiv dead bodies are goyim then halachically the bodies in these exhibits will be assumed to be goyim.

    anonymous: you seem to have showed up late to a two week discussion. had you beem here you would have seen that R hirschs hashkafa differs greatly and in fact disagrees with MO. he was also emphatically against zionism. see his biography by artscroll. you seem to need to brush up on your hashkafa awareness. and youre point of our leaders being MO sounds like you had an agenda b4 you went looking. you went to find examples that fit the bill. next time study the avos and come to unbiased conclusions that arent pre concieved. seriously where do you come up with this?!

    anonymius: one of the rishonim on last weeks parshah says that one of the reasons that moshe couldnt go into EY was because he was thought to be ish mitzri and didnt stand out as a jew.a rishon. pshat.

    ya ok it thats pretty dumb. briskers have a bunch of stories from the gra and r chaim volozhin about how hergesh isnt what we serve hashem with. maybe he meant that MO is colder and more scientific as opposed to a molre dveikusdik’ ruach of chareidim

    your all dumb. do you think the rosh yeshivas today are blockheads? do you think theyre turning a blind eye to what klal yisroel needs? maybe in america more iyun is needed to fight the spirit of the times, who knows?! go ask the gedolei yisroel- not shoot down every RY in north america. theyre acting on mesorah and guidance from rabbeim.and somehow they know shas (the real RYs- not every 30year old shnuk in lakewod who was a rosh chaburah). Lo sassur yemin u’smol still applies.have a little faith and keep shtaiging

    k so maybe this thread was trolling because in previous threads it appeared that the basis for a lot of MO hashkafa was CbGT. and now youre all saying its not a directive. I know i just opened a can of worms but i wante to see what you all would say in a neutral setting. i had an agenda and everyone followed through perfectly. thanks

    k in theory its nice to split the titles. however freinds take it way more personally if you reject advice they give you about where to go, what the next step is and the like. obviously the decision is still yours and hopefuly their negative feelings wont impact your decision but that doesnt mean that the freindship wont suffer. mine did greatly. also, issues that a shadchan should be willing to raise to either side become much more touchy and personal. its not fun. does the possible gain outweigh the risk

    Haifa girl; you’re unfortunately not all that proficient at punctuation. If you really enjoy it and want to learn how to punctuate correctly I would suggest the book ‘Eats, Shoots, and Leaves’. It may help you hone your skills.

    why should it focus on contribution to the tzibbur. firstly even if your right the zchus of ones limud hatorah is the biggest contribution to the tzibbur. and without that a persons learning is his avodah to hashem- who are you to say that to be called succesful he has to show contribution- what do you want a chiddush quota complete with a flowchart?

    josh- the chofetz chaim explained that in a siyum it says that we work and are mikabel schar whereas the goyim work and dont get schar. Q: Goyim do get paid! A: the yget paid for a job well done ie- contribution and mastery- we get paid for doing actual work even without a seemingly concrete result. we get schar for ameilus. even a guy thats not smart and cant read a tosfos if he sits and works for hours with no succes Hashem still gives him tons of schar.

    mw13- thank you. i think that aftewr your post no further arguements are ever necessary ad oilum. how can these relationships not be considered a spiritual sakonnoh to any honest thinking yid. and for that to be part of an idealogy is downright nuts. i think the debates r over.

    the idea isnt who gave rishus or whos making money- though obviously thats a side issue worthy of mention- rather the fact that theres a terrible tragedy in klal yisroel and we run to music studios.go sit and cry. learn musar. be mekabel something. and if putting out a single is what hashem really wants (as if) do it anontmously. but stop the commerciliozation. and moishele i dont think at that point took chizuk. he was three

    do you really believe that CbGT means shakespeare. i happen to read shakespeare. how many of his witticisms and jokes have an inappropriate connotation and can put things in your head that Hashem frowns upon. and if you still argue thats chochma and should be read then CbGT must just mean the mitzius- not that you should learn it.

    gavra. thats pointely not true. MO believes theres what to take out of mada that is chochma and not necessarily in accordance with tora. why learn shakespeare and quote it,(vihameivin yovin) aint no particular torah values there. and in regard to mixed schools as a kiruv/bidieved- how did that somegow grow to include regular MO totally observant ppl?? this ones really tough

    As i understand the difference between MO an R’ Hirsch. MO beliueves there is what to glean from secular study that cannot be gleaned from the torah, and, by studying both, a person can come to realize a bigger fuller picture. tora im derech eretz does not.
