    My point is that if somebody would give tzedakah in a grumpy fashion, just doing it because he has to, then he might be rewarded, but it’s just not the right way to give. Your meant to “ivdu es Hashem B’SIMCHA!”

    The best segula for parnassah is: GIVE A LOT OF TZEDAKA!!!
    I promise it’s the best segula for parnassah. But only if you do it out of love for a fellow yid, not because you have to (and keep in mind that Hashem doesn’t HAVE to give you anything back, but I think he will if you have the right thoughts in mind.

    If it’s considered mukzteh, then cleaning your shabbos table after the seudah on shabbos day or closing the cap of the bottle of water is also muktzeh, because you will not use it again until after shabbos (going on a case that he will not drink from that bottle until after shabbos, which is pretty common)

    There are three types of Jews; a shlemiel, a shlemazel and a nudnick. In a typical situation the shlemiel spills boiling hot soup on the shlemazel, the nudnick shouts out “what flavor was the soup?” (:

    I heard a story – I’m not sure if it is absolutely true – but it goes like this:
    There was once a hidden tzaddik who came to a town and started telling them that the current year, in elul, (he named a specific date), the germans will attack their city and that they should leave before they have a chance to. But they chased him and threw stones at him and called him a “navi sheker” and cursed him out. One carpenter had pity on him and he listened to him – and he ended up being saved, because on that exact date that the tzadik said, the germans attacked his city and everyone else was either killed or sent to a conecentration camp.

    We can think that we are totally safe, but who knows? We must be aware, and if there are rumors something might happen, don’t go crazy about it, but keep it in mind.

    I agree with most people on here, even if they themselves are arguing, because, I agree that we must trust in Hashem and that everything is gam zu letova and hashgachah pratis.
    But at the same time, we must be wary and careful of any red flag. We have hishtadlus, we can’t totally rely on Hashem for everything, because Hashem doesn’t want us to be too lazy, (among other reasons).

    Because you make absolutely no sense. All you do is call him a liar. For no reason. Because you think liz cheney is a tzadekes? Or even not? Cheney is a RINO, and that’s facts. Just look at what she does and says.
    Would you agree that joe manchin is a DINO? I think everybody will agree somewhat.
    So Liz cheney is lke that, but in a different party.

    In reality, he is the 45th person who was elected (if he was actaully elected) president. But when you count them formally, he is 46th, as everyone felt the need to express the answer in their own way, that grover cleveland was president twice non-consecutively.

    Even if trump isn’t the nicest guy, and even if he cheated and stole (which I don’t believe he did), what he has done for the frum yidden and will do when he is reelected, comes before his own middos. He has been the best president for the jews ever since ronald reagon. You can’t deny that.

    Just a few months on this coffee room, and I already know everyone’s political views just from all of the tens of politics threads (which everyone says the same things).
    If nobody knows my view (everyone else feels that the whole wide world needs to know their opinions) on politics, then here it is:
    Biden is an old, sloppy loser, a puppet for the left to check off the things on their agenda.
    Trump is not the best speaker, but the best president he was. Anybody who can say that he was not good for the jews must be drunk or something like that, anyone with a human brain can understand how good trump was for the yidden.
    I think trump should run for pres and desantis for vp.

    There are sadly some yidden who got brainwashed by the media and left, and they suffer from a loss of knowledge and an overflowing of fake news.

    And NO, I am not sick of trump.

    It is not like the “unicorn” is described by the goyim, rather a thing that they may be basing it off. But if it did exist, it is not around anymore.
    Why can’t it be the tachash? It was colorfull with all the colors and the most beautiful animal. It also had one horn, but it was not a horse. And the goyim made up many details that are not true, but it is pretty much like the tachash. I don’t believe that the Tachash IS THE unicorn, but there could have been something like it.


    @smerel

    There is a mysterious kind of a deer mentioned in the Torah called a “Yachmor – יחמור” (it is not a donkey, it’s a mysterious animal which some hold is a type of deer) Maybe this animal that your talking about is the Yachmor?

    Ok, I’ll rephrase it: The Lubavitcher Rebbe, R’ Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, Zecher Tzaddik V’kaddosh L’vrocha Zechuso Yagen Aleinu, was the Nasi Hador when he was alive on earth. Avraham Yitzchok and Yaakov and Moshe and Dovid and Shlomo and Rava and Abbayeh and Rav Hai Gaon and all the tzaddikim are still alive, just not physically.
    And if anyone complains that we can’t call the Rebbe the Nasi Hador, since not everyone accepts him, then you can have the same taane by calling someone the Gadol Hador, even though not everybody accepts him.

    I know the stories are for sure not true. The person who wrote them in his book said that they were made up. But that is not where we know the golem of prague from. I don’t if know if for sure it’s true, but it’s not for sure not true.
    I know of a story that the Rayaatz, the fifth lubavitcher rebbe, once went to prague with his father, the Rashab, when he was a kid. They were visiting the Altnue shul and the Rayaatz was so filled with curiosity that he snuck up to the attic, and looked around. I’m not sure what he saw, but the Rashab was very harsh with him and told him that he suffered for months after because of what he did.
    Now, even if there weren’t any remains found, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen – we can’t either find a the aron or any of the keilim, they were hidden so well.
    The maharal wanted nobody to find his golem, he knew how desrutcive it could be. It’s very possible on of his talmidim hid the remains so nobody could use it again.
    I think he hid it between the seforim.

    If you have a problem with this thread, then go tell all your freinds to become more tzniusdik and start an organization encouraging women to keep the halachos of tznius. I don’t believe you don’t know anyone that isn’t following the halachos of tznius properly. Go and get them to follow the halachos properly, and then tell the coffee room members to be quiet. It seems like you yourself have a problem with tznius. And discussing it on the coffee room can actually bring a good result.

    Hashem sees the future. If someone is a ger, Hashem knew he will become a ger and create a bashert for him.

    I agree that Hashem’s ratzon can never be a chilul Hashem. But you can twist Hashem’s ratzon and claim and believe that what your doing is Hashem’s ratzon but it isn’t actually.
    I don’t go around thinking that as long as I’m doing Hashem’s ratzon, then I shouldn’t watch out that I could possibly be making a chilul Hashem. I go around trying to not make a chilul Hashem, period. If you go around thinking that whatever your doing can’t be a chilul Hashem, because in your mind your doing the ratzon Hashem. Don’t take me wrong, I believe that you do the ratzon Hashem all the time. But the mindset that whatever you do is okay, since its what Hashem wants, even if its a chilul Hashem is not lechatchila. Better to watch not to make a chilul Hashem, but of course, always, every single second, you should be doing the ratzon Hashem.

    Chabad shluchim, in order to attract non-frum college students and alike, to bring them back to rheir roots, do compete against the goyim. And do you disagree with that?

    “When chabad writes about “the rebbe”, they can be talking to goyim, and he’s “the rebbe”, because he’s everyone’s rebbeh, the “nasi hador”, a messianic candidate, and some say more.”
    Are you agreeing with that statement you said? Why then are you saying it as if it’s true?

    My rebbe is the lubavitcher rebbe, and in my world he is the rebbe. And in my view, he was the nasi hador when we were still zoche to have him alive physically. I’m not sure what kind of stuff ou know about the rebbe, but he cared about all the yidden. The other gedolim and tzadikim cared fore a lot of klal yisrael-or most of the frum- but not all. And that’s why the rebbe was so into kiruv and sent thousands of shluchim across the world to connect every jew with torah and mitzvos.
    And if you don’t agree with that, then you don’t have to agree.

    I’m just telling you why we think that the rebbe was the nasi hador. And you won’t really change our opinion no matter how many posts you write saying lubavitchers are wrong to believe in their rebbe as a great leader. Nobody is imposing on you that you have to call the lubavitcher rebbe “the rebbe”. Your now trying to impose on us that we can’t believe or say that the rebbe is the nasi hador. (Let alone the fact that some people view some gedolim as the Gedolei Hador and making everyone else view that the same way because he is is the gadol hador, and if anyone says that he isnt, that a different gadol is, then he is shaming the gadol hador! How dare he!)
