Syag, why is that irrelevant?
ujmParticipantTLIK: The Halacha explicitly says that Beis Din forces a person to marry if he refuses to by the halachic age.
ujmParticipantThe three shot thugs were much worse hooligans than anything describable regarding Rittenhouse.
ujmParticipantReb Eliezer, I mentioned the Kedushas Levi.
ujmParticipantI’m surprised only one person mentioned Sefer Chofetz Chaim, so far. Let me be the second.

ujmParticipantjackk: Under Jewish Law, if someone (other than your parent etc) breaks into your house you are 100% permitted to blow him away on the spot, even if he’s unarmed.

ujmParticipantCS: I read it quite well. I simply decided to ignore what you asked for.
ujmParticipantAbout 100 years ago someone reported finding one of the lost Mesechtas of Shas. A Mesechta that hadn’t been seen in many many hundreds of years. People, including Talmidei Chachomim, believed and accepted it initially. But after a few months people started noticing subtle errors that proved it was a forgery, albeit written by someone who was very well acquainted with Gemorah and Aramaic to fool people for quite a bit.

ujmParticipantThe frum community is much better off — and more effective in the halls of power — finding a gentile that we elect into office, that works for our communal needs, than to have a Jewish or frum person serve in office for us.
ujmParticipantHas the price gone up faster than the price of gas or price of rent?
ujmParticipantRosenberg was a convicted felon of violent crimes who was just released from a mental hospital. He chased Kyle for quite a distance, threatening him verbally and physically, and he lunged for the gun in an attempt to grab it.
ujmParticipantHaLeiVi, how can one newly start experiencing Chasidus?

Rav Moshe says it’s assur.
ujmParticipantElizabeth Warren is a Hitlerite wannabe.
ujmParticipantCTL: How many married grandchildren?
ujmParticipantHaLeiVi: Is Eved Canaani disgusting and indefensible too? Why the differentiation?
November 20, 2021 11:43 pm at 11:43 pm in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2031138ujmParticipantI 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.
November 19, 2021 2:49 pm at 2:49 pm in reply to: Where Klal Yisroel will be in 100 years from now #2030937ujmParticipantShimon, you’re arguing with the Shulchan Aruch.
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.
