CA: The argument presented was that it is nullified because the Goyim gave permission. But the Goyim only gave permission for a small part of what the Zionists took.
If the Goyim gave permission to make a state just in, say, Sfas, it is illogical to claim the vows are nullified and they can take 100x what the Goyim gave them.
CA/RW: So what? The point that was advanced here was that the Shalosh Shavuos was nullified because the United Nations gave permission for a Jewish State. If that’s the basis to nullify the Shalosh Shavuos, then on that basis the nullification is only applicable to the Jewish zone and not to the Jerusalem (international) zone or to the Arab zone, since no permission from the UN (or from the British) was ever granted over those territories.
A later war isn’t a basis to nullify the Shalosh Shavuos.
“Britain agreed to the vote so that’s why it was binding”
Okay. The original vote split Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, with Jerusalem being an international zone. In that case, Israel only has permission to control the original Jewish zone and not the Jerusalem zone or the Arab zone.
Syag, you’ve been MIA for too long. Your absence is felt.
Good Shabbos
What could be possibly wrong with a Cuomo Bridge?
Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, the Interboro Parkway…
If the UN vote permitting a State is binding, then the UN votes partitioning Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, with Jerusalem being an international zone, (and future UN votes demanding Israel leave the Arab zones) is equally binding.
On purim it is appropriate to be drunk. On purim it is the proper Chinuch to show children Yidden are drunk.
What was the instructions that you posed to the AI robot that generated the OP as its response?
Avira, excellent points. Yasher Koach.
Shimon: Don’t kid yourself. There are numerous very clear shittos to get completely, totally and utterly stone drunk, ad dlo yoda. And numerous Gedolei Yisroel, Talmidei Chochomim, Ehrliche Yidden and Poshuta Yidden, both past and present, have annually gotten completely drunk in full accordance with the Mitzvah, L’sheim Shamayim.
Have you ever learnt Gemorah?
Numerous gedolim, both past and present, get stone drunk on Purim.
Please post the AI summary of this.
MDD: Perhaps most gedolim don’t follow his shitta (I didn’t take a survey to know one way or another), but what is for certain is that NO gedolim whatsoever follow the Zionist/Mirachi/Daati Leumi/Modern Orthodox shittas.
AAQ: Do you deny the validity, importance or existence of the Rambam’s Igerres Teiman?
More of the Weissman garbage. You might as well put out what the AI at ChatGPT says about this. It would be more intelligent than the OP.
MDD: Provide a source, if it exists, regarding your claim about Rav Yoel zt’l.
You are supposed to get stone drunk on Purim. What the Rebbeum are doing by getting drunk is the best Chinuch for Purim.
BTW, I take full credit for Reb Volf having this massive annual hangup about his failing to get drunk on Purim. If you’ll look through the forum archives you’ll find me needling him for it year after year. It’s left a deep scar on his psych.
All the in Purim spirit, of course!
AAQ: Au contraire. Today, in modern liberal politically correct society, it is popular and brownie-points awarding, to say do not drink/I don’t drink. We have to worry that those who wear a sign saying I don’t drink on purim/I don’t get drunk on purim, are saying so to sound politically correct and goodie -goodies rather than any interest in doing the Mitzvah correctly.
On the other hand, those that the whole year barely drink, but on purim force themselves against their natural inclination to get drink purely lsheim Mitzvah, are true heroes.
MDD: It is definitely a far far greater chilul Hashem to be frei in Eretz Yisroel than in Chutz L’aretz.
Dorah: ad shelo yadah is, by definition, the opposite of moderation.
Dorah: Bush II’s verbal gaffes were nothing remotely comparable to Biden.
What did Mir do in Shanghai?
Zev: There’s a shitta that allows an alternative to getting drunk, so you’re not sinning according to every shitta.
Is regularly biking on the city roads risky?
What do Chabad shlichim and other Jews living in areas unclear which side of the international date line do regarding Shabbos, etc?
Avira, how were the prewar demographics different than today’s demographics?
Reb Yosef: I think Eretz Yisroel was even more dominated by Litvaks before the war than today.
Reb Yosef: Excellent point.
Menachem, can you give some examples of the creatures you’re referring to?
Democrats have played the race card and the sex card victim politics for many decades already. Claims of racism and sexism ring hollow and mean nothing more than politics as usual.
“First, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by directly introducing Jewish singles to each other, who are now married to each other.”
So now he’s a Shadchan, too? A Shadchan who is against Shadchanim; this must be a first.
“Second, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by personally organizing over 100 events for Jewish singles.
Third, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by encouraging mixed-seating at Jewish weddings”
Your “Second” and “Third” result in more boys/girls hookups than shidduchim. I know that proponents are in denial about this fact, but just take a little visit to the Upper West Side, where the “frum” hookup culture thrives on these events.
rightwriter: You could also say it was a miracle that Hitler survived the assassination attempt against him. Does that make the Holocaust a good thing?
Reb Dorah: If one wouldn’t be steeped in modern liberal Western culture, and rather think entirely in terms of Yiddishkeit, the logic would be quicker to grasp.
mentsch1: The frum Jews were elected to the Polish Sejm and dealt pragmatically with its government. Does that demonstrate to you that they essentially agreed that Poland was good for the Jews?
For an alter kocker 40+ year old alter bochor to give dating advice is akin to a thrice divorced woman providing marriage counseling.
The Teimani community was older. And it still exists in Yemen (in tiny numbers for the last 20 years.)
Wikipedia is unreliable, especially on Jewish issues.
SR: Weissman got married very late and was bitter about that. He started penning these anti-shidduch screeds while still an older single. His advocating that the traditional Orthodox community adopt his failed Modern Orthodox style of hookup culture dating is a joke.
The topic of multiple spouses comes up on average less than once a year in this forum. I didn’t raise it in this thread, I responded to it being raised. Despite its great infrequency, the few times it has come up has caused great conniptions, tantrums and hissie fits by the same few posters who simply cannot even tolerate a discussion on a legitimate issue that they disagree with. The only obsession is on the part of those who violently disagree with dialog on this.
Having multiple wives is similar to eating knitiyos on Pesach. Yet these posters who get bent out of shape over any discussion regarding polygamy, have no issues when a poster discusses knitiyos on Pesach. Both are issues where Ashkenazim and non-Ashkenazim have different customs. Indeed, the kitniyos ban is even more severe than the polygamy ban. Whereas Gedolei Ashkenaz today can once again permit polygamy, as Rabbeinu Gershom anticipated and built in an expiration to it and instituted it in a repealable mechanism, they cannot permit kitniyos.
A woman’s place is at home; not in political office.
Baruch Hashem… Dorah and Dofi have both accepted the name that I baptized them with.
SR:1) A State with nuclear arms can get nuked just as much as a state without nuclear arms. 2) Brooklyn is part of a State with more nuclear arms than the State that includes Eilat (which is also part of Chutz L’aretz, unlike southern Lebanon which is part of Eretz Yisroel.)
My parenthetical sentence had a typo. It should have read:
Though, we may have to execute his parent(s), depending on the circumstances.
right writer: mamzeirim are a bad thing; I’m sure you agree with that. So what should we do with a mamzer? We do not kill a mamzer. (Though, we may have to him his parent(s), depending on the circumstances.)
The State is a mamzer.
Do you say that the Holocaust was a good thing since Hashem let it happen?
Rome, which destroyed Yerushalayim and slaughtered the Yidden, was around for a lot longer than the State of Israel.
Anyone would be best served by doing the opposite of any suggestions by Mr. Weissman. The folly of his “ideas” is consistent and long-standing.
Gedolei Yisroel have associated particular tragedies to particular bad behaviors for thousands of years. From time immemorial until today and all years in between.
For example, the Tosfos Yom Tov let Klal Yisroel know that Tach V’Tat occurred because of talking in Shul. Other Gedolim told us the reasons why they Holocaust happened. Chazal in the Gemorah told us that Beis Hamikdash was destroyed because the women dressed pritzusdik, because of sinas chinam and give a few other reasons. So there can be more than one reason as well.
