I recall another big taaina against Steinsaltz was that he printed his Shas with different pagination than the standard Daf.
ujmParticipantNo, sorry.
ujmParticipantDBS: The meforshim describe physical attributes that are their simonim. Including skin color and geographical location.
ujmParticipantNonImpedit: Read the Bell Curve, by psychologist Richard Herrnstein and political scientist Charles Murray, in which the authors demonstrate that human intelligence is substantially influenced by both inherited and environmental factors.
ujmParticipant“Eisav Sonei LeYaakov is as real today as ever. Only a fool world deny that.
ujmParticipantNoach’s curse on Chom’s grandchildren is valid and has its place in today’s world.
ujmParticipantToday, in the 21st century, there is more “reverse racism”, i.e. anti-white racism, such as affirmative action, giving preferences to non-whites, falsely accusing all whites of subtle racism, teaching school children that by definition whites are predators and non-whites are victims, is far more prevalent than old anti-black racism.

ujmParticipantHealth: Your argument then means people must keep taking booster shots indefinitely, forever.
November 19, 2021 1:13 pm at 1:13 pm in reply to: Where Klal Yisroel will be in 100 years from now #2030910ujmParticipantHaLeiVi, it’s assur for them to learn Torah Shebalpeh. Even Shebksav only what is relevant to them.
ujmParticipantCelebrities, as a klal, are the lowest people.
ujmParticipantGadol, as of now, even without SCOTUS, the courts have blocked Biden’s mandates for private businesses.
ujmParticipantVirtually every Goy would push a button to immediately and permanently rid the world of Jewish beliefs/practices, if not of Jews themselves, if he absolutely knew he could get away with it with zero consequences.
ujmParticipant“I would pose the same question to you, about Trump.”
The very large majority of American Rosh Yeshivos *did* vote for Trump. So the hypocrisy of the question is telling.
ujmParticipantHarping on racism (even where it is non-existent) is 90% of the Democrat Party’s political strategy to win office and stay in power.
ujmParticipantI don’t think anyone argues that the vaccine is more protective for someone who didn’t have Covid compared to someone having recovered from Covid but not having vaccinated.
November 18, 2021 10:29 pm at 10:29 pm in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2030631ujmParticipant“who refrained from saying halel on 5 iyyar”
Avira, did you mean tachnun?
ujmParticipantWe’re in galus. Yidden are not the Baal Haboss over the land. Until Moshiach comes the Goyim are in charge.
Don’t expect Zionists to change any of that.
ujmParticipantEisav is the zaida of European Goyim. Expect them to act as Eisev.
ujmParticipantBravo. Your entire essay is entirely on point and correct.
Nothing more need be said.
Yasher Koach!
ujmParticipant“It is pretty clear at thsi point that the vaccines are indeed doing something, the vaccinated, AS A GROUP, have less infections, less symptoms, less hospitalizations and less death.”
It is pretty clear at this point that the natural immunity (without a vaccine for those who had Covid) are indeed doing something, the naturally immune, AS A GROUP, have less infections, less symptoms, less hospitalizations and less death.
ujmParticipantRestaurant or restaurantS?
ujmParticipantAAQ: I said earlier that throughout history, from ancient times until today, there have always been groups that falsely claimed to be Jewish. There have been real Jewish communities in various parts of the world where they no longer exist. Some places had ancient communities that left long ago and some had communities that lasted much longer but nevertheless left the region in more recent centuries. This is all well documented and uncontroversial.
That there was, at some point in history a Jewish community living in Ethiopia, hundreds of years ago seems very plausible if even likely, yet something of a question that still was raised with a question mark that resulted in various opinions by the rabbinic establishment over more recent centuries.
Yet, even if we accept the premise that there was a Jewish community there half a millennium ago (which is the approximate timeframe of the Radbaz, Benjamin of Tudela, and Eldad HaDani — and even back then it wasn’t a widely or universally accepted opinion), a group that about 500 years later claims to be Jewish but doesn’t have a known or demonstrated lineage to the group that a few opinions referenced hundreds of years prior, doesn’t make them Jewish.
Here’s just a partial list of other groups that also claim to be Jewish, mostly claiming to be from the Ten Lost Tribes:
Igbo Jews (Nigeria) — they’ve been claiming Jewish since the 1500s
“Jews of Rusape”
House of Israel (Ghana)
Black Hebrew Israelites (United States)
Bene Ephraim (India)
Bene Israel (Mumbai, India)
Bnei Menashe (China and India)
Banu Israil (India)
Benei Sión (Chile)
Knanaya
Lemba (Africa)
Yibir (Somalia)
Xueta (Spain)
Rastafari (Jamaica)
Knanaya (India)
BrutakhiAs you can see, there’s a preponderance of these kooks in Africa, especially.
And there are other groups that some claim to be of Jewish descent, including:
Samaritans
Pashtuns
KurdsEven the Mormons claim to be the Israelites, although that is an entire different category.
ujmParticipantIf you had Covid in the past, you do not need to vaccinate.
ujmParticipantThe Yeshivish and Chasidish Yeshivos never recited the pledge of allegiance.
November 17, 2021 9:31 pm at 9:31 pm in reply to: Where Klal Yisroel will be in 100 years from now #2030065ujmParticipantDear CA, I’m not arguing with you; I’m simply asking for your explanation. I made a mistake misreading your question about men when skimming your comment. My answer to your question about men is “yes”. Are you saying, therefore, women will be davening all day?
ujmParticipantReb Eliezer, who will give the mussar?
November 17, 2021 7:09 pm at 7:09 pm in reply to: Where Klal Yisroel will be in 100 years from now #2029997ujmParticipantCS: Jews.
November 17, 2021 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm in reply to: The most unexpected place where you met yid. #2029995ujmParticipantI met a Brisker in Mecca.
ujmParticipantReb Eliezer, Rav Moshe Meir Weiss shlita retired?
ujmParticipantBenignuman:
a) What evidential proof exists that the people spoken of by the Radbaz, Benjamin of Tudela, and Eldad HaDani are the same people today calling themselves Beta Israel?
b) What references do the Islamic and Christian sources you speak of say of of the Beta Israel, what dates are these Islamic and Christian documents and by what name do they reference the Beta Israel?
c) Where can the 1850 correspondence you reference be located and read, and what is the evidence of was written by the same group today calling themselves Beta Israel?

“Will the men learn all day?”
Torah.
“What did the women do all day in the מדבר they didn’t need to clean, sew, or launder (the ענני הכבוד took care of that) they didn’t really need to cook (the מן) so what did they do?”
Tell me, please.

November 17, 2021 6:05 pm at 6:05 pm in reply to: The most unexpected place where you met yid. #2029934ujmParticipantIn North Korea.
ujmParticipantYou want to throw mussar out the window for most people??
ujmParticipantBenignuman: If a heretofore unknown group living in a remote African jungle came out and related to us their oral tradition, which they say they’ve passed down generation by generation for the last 2000 years, that they’re Jews who moved to Africa at the time of the Churban, would you accept their word and accept them as Jews/safek Jews?
What evidence and documentation exists *after* the Radbaz and Eldad HaDani until 100 years ago that connects the current group calling itself Beta Israel to the people the Radbaz or Eldad HaDani speak of?
ujmParticipantBoth.
ujmParticipantUmm, AAQ, the Falash Mura’s minhag is to use a cross by prayers.
ujmParticipantBenignuman: I’ll try to go through your older comments to address additional points, but if the Church only permitted Jews to use the New Testament would you argue that we should use it since we have nothing else? I’m pointing out that the Christian Old Testament is no less heretical than their New Testament.
What history is clearly documented (not presently orally testified) about this group’s religious history and practices and identification in the one hundred years prior to the formation of the State of Israel in 1948? And where have you seen such 1848-1948 sources?
ujmParticipantReb Eliezer, when’d you move to Staten Island?
ujmParticipantReb Eliezer, do the bochorim in Chasan Sofer today still daven Nusach Ashkenaz? 90% of the student body today is Chasidish.
ujmParticipantIs he the fellow who recently started a heavy PR campaign for his 5 minute Daf, with the video advertisement focusing on his making some entertaining motions?
ujmParticipantRY613: Can you sponsor a copy for me?
ujmParticipantOnly if Mr. Schottenstein funds it.
ujmParticipantThe Christian Old Testament the they used as their Bible is not Torah.
Indeed, if a Jew were to ever have a copy of it, he would need to discard it.
ujmParticipantCan anyone tell me how much is accomplished by the annual Shabbaton, where the idea is to invite a frei neighbor for Shabbos? How many Reform/Conservative/secular Jews actually show up on that annual Shabbos? And how many of those become observant?
November 16, 2021 10:33 pm at 10:33 pm in reply to: Where Klal Yisroel will be in 100 years from now #2029476ujmParticipantCA: The women and girls will be davening all day?
