If I write what time I observed the eclipse, can anyone ping my location?

This place wasn’t really meant for personal people bashing… Oish!
There’s a way, I believe, an edele way to get through to people (that’s us, I suppose)

Little FroggieParticipantJust to interrupt a moment..
KUDOS TO THE MOD…

Little FroggieParticipantNo one “chapped” that line!!
Little FroggieParticipantNo respect is due. At all.
Oh… Seems you forgot.. none of my comments are smart.. Do a cursory browse.. of my past. Nope. Brains don’t grow by themselves. (they need water)February 19, 2024 10:04 am at 10:04 am in reply to: Time for Frum Magazines to Change their Standards #2262284Little FroggieParticipantGOSH!!!
Frogette is not going to let me on to the Coffee Room! I may get ideas ื”ื.
Little FroggieParticipantAAQ:
It would appear to my humblekite that someone filled with Torah wisdom, someone whose very being is suffused with ืืืืช ืืืืงืื need not evaluate himself via secular tests and barometers (thermometers, speedometers, altimeters) to weigh in on a Torah related subject.
If he was once ืืืืื to a Tosfes’ Kasha or a Shach, that should suffice!
Little FroggieParticipantDaMoshe
Please, a bit of respect, deference to a Giant who has lit the world aflame with a fire and life of Jewishness in all aspects.
No, he was ืืก ืืฉืืื not a bumbling wild rabble rouser as your “sources” would have it. No, he DID NOT INVENT ANYTHING NEW.
Before you develop your personal belief, why don’t you educate yourself by reading up on real stuff…I find it weird that I should be writing in defense, as if R”L my humblekite should “weigh in”.
I may address each sludge you’ve flung, at a different time, when I have time (gosh – did you read that? I’M BUSY NOWDAYS!!!) I just couldn’t let such an affront to such a giant go unchecked. You don’t get to attack, vilify, denigrate the leader and master of the MAJORITY OF FRUM JEWS.

Little FroggieParticipantAAQ: Here I am, your humble little i
Little FroggieParticipantDaMoshe:
You’re being extremely disrespectful towards the giant of the world. There’s an expression used in gemarah, I should be using here, I’ll spear you.
I already wrote there was nothing “NEW” about his movement. Read what I wrote, it’s written in plain easy English. He put YiddishKite into Torah, Avodah, Yiras Shomaim. He put a dagash into Davening with feeling, doing Mitzvos with intent and understanding. Nothing he did is not found in Gemarah, Medrash etc. HE INVENTED NOTHING.
True, the early opposers were wary of a new movement, ever since the advent of Shabsi Tzvi. They were greatly worried, however they were greatly mistaken. Time would tell – boy were they mistaken. As they say – without litvaks there would be no Torah (very untrue for today’s situation – Torah grows by leaps and bounds in Chassidishe courts in all areas ืืชืืื, ืขืืงืืช, ืืืืืืช, ืืงืืืืช, ืืืืช, ืืืืืช), without Chassidim there would be no Yid.
You don’t have to believe about the Baal Shem Tov meeting up with Achiya, don’t ever ืืก ืืฉืืื attribute a “new torah” or ” a new Judaism” to him.
And while where at it may little me add, he did in fact have a mesorah, he was the last in line from the Baalei Shem, most of German descend
I shudder to think what you wrote, that caring Mod had to edit your post.
Little FroggieParticipantDaMoshe: Chassidus was not initiated by a “Dream”. Neither is it “a new form of Judaism” ืจ”ื. A renewed focus, cocentration into the heart and soul of Avodas HaShem, ืฉืืื ืฉื ืืฆืื etc. Nothing at all new. Straight from the pages of our vast Torah. ืืื ื ืืจืขื!
Little FroggieParticipantujm (is that a roshei taivos or gematria or something):
According to the posting time posted in your post, it seems like it was sent after licht benthing – before shkia. Something like the things created ืืื ืืฉืืฉืืช.
Little FroggieParticipantOH YEAH!!!!
Happy times are coming!!!
Just remembered this one (from a life ago!!!)
Little FroggieParticipantWOW!!

I missed that last word! WB ARWSF.
Little FroggieParticipantZK here! (yeah, still here, nish inagantzen here)
Spill the beans… what WAS your Screen Name?
Little FroggieParticipantCA: That’s in reference to the antisemitic trope “the Jews control the world/ media/ market/ political arena /weather”
Little FroggieParticipantThere’s a two volume book with all his songs, I saw one in Eretz Yisroel one time
Little FroggieParticipantHe started out with records. Many of them.
Little FroggieParticipantNo. It’s because someone wrote that he wants the last thread. THAT SET ME OFF!!
(It’s also fun reading this stuff over and over again… I’ve been here for quite some time)
Little FroggieParticipantBeg your pardon..
Little FroggieParticipantAnd to answer my question:
Torah is compared to three liquids wine, water and oil. Compared to wine in the sense that the more your drink the more thirsty you become – ืืืจืืจ ืืจืืจ. A person who learns a drop of Torah may feel satiated, but when he really puts himself to it, he feels the urge to go on and on. ืืืจืืจ ืืจืืจ. That’s why you’re “allowed” to learn erev Shavuos! Just like drinking wine Erev Pesach, a lot is allowed, a bit not.
Little FroggieParticipantCA, Thank you for that! No, I didn’t know you like me as a friend!
And yes, I hear you, loud and clear!
Little FroggieParticipantAm I mistaken? I thought Nevuah (“MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM…”) stopped many a year ago. Just for that purpose, so that no one sane should be getting up one day (after a cup of corrupted human psychological mind morning coffee) and claim to have heard a “MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM”.
That’s why we paid no heed to “that man”.
Someone who keeps posting messages “heard directly from HASHEM”, well, if it’s not Nevua, than it must be…
ืืืื ืฉืืจื ืืืช ืืืงืืฉ ื ืืืื ื ืืืื ืื ืื ืืืืื ืื ืืชื ื…Little FroggieParticipantOOPS… serious discussion .. I’m outa here
Little FroggieParticipantubiquitin:
Yeah, I’m pretty sure. It was in the 80’s. And after every else left. Very unofficial, low-key, modest at around two in the morning.
Little FroggieParticipantThe thing started as a “Geshmake” idea, some Eretz Yisroel chassidim did after the music in Stolin way back…
Way back those days (40+) no one had any festivities besides Stolin and maybe some other very few. They danced in Stolin for 3 – 4 hours straight, until about 12 – 1 and then went home. The Eretz Yisroel Yungeleit and Bochurim wanted a taste of Meron, so after everyone left, they lit a fire in a trash can and sang the night away…
After a few years of doing it that way they made it more official. And gave it more focus.
And the rest is history.
Little FroggieParticipantWHOA!!!
I am missing… Anyone found type BXGDSP screws?!?
Little FroggieParticipantREFUAH SHLEIMA!!!
Little FroggieParticipantRubashkin will arrange his release!
Little FroggieParticipantI ever posted?!?

Little FroggieParticipantujm: The prosecution wouldn’t be to keen with it… They get to reject too. And I was hoping they’d think I wasn’t to bright…
Little FroggieParticipantCA: Wow! Thank you for that one!!!
But it’s the truth. The whole truth.. nothing but the truth… May I be seated?
(I can’t seem to get this ‘parsha’ out of my mind. I relive it constantly..)Little FroggieParticipant135847: That’s actually one of the points I gleaned from this experience. There is such a difference in people’s performance when not attached to the ‘toys’. The fact that all twelve of us know we’re TOTALLY disconnected from the outside, that in itself lent to more power of concentration, attention, focus.
It was uncanny; during the first few days of testimony and exhibitions we were herded into the jury room to wait to be called in. Then marched out back to the room for numerous breaks. At all such times the place was so quiet, EVERYONE into his/her device – for hours upon hours (of course there’s this Little Froggie with a little Gemarah). Then when it’s time for deliberation, all toys are sent away in a box (out of the room), all of a sudden everyone’s talking. Everyone’s involved!
One seriously seeking a connection, involvement with HaShem needs to do the same. This is a lesson that I (hopefully) will remember.
ujm: I DID try to get out, I did my ืืฉืชืืืืช. The judge and lawyers by the voir dire questioning asked each one their educational status, familial status etc. Each and every one had some high fluten degree in some major institution – and no family. I answered truthfully that I was a ninth grade dropout, I tried to accentuate that as much as possible… it didn’t work. But nevertheless it was so interesting – everyone with a degree and zero family. A very Jewish looking Froggie with no degree and ื”ื ืงืข”ื family. As to occupation, I wanted them to have some positive image of Whom I represent, I laid down some of my cards (again to them its the degree / occupation that matters most)
Little FroggieParticipantOur case involved an African American. Interestingly, the many African Americans sitting along with me were inclined almost at once to convict.
We deliberated for two days, actually intense. We went back to the court room about ten times to get more clarifications of the law, to have testimony reread. Every time – the same procession. Line up. Jury entering. Attendance. Judge’s instructions… Jury exiting. Locked back into jury room. At the end we all agreed that defendant was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Actually beyond almost any doubt. Defendant did himself in by testifying.
You all should have heard the lawyers arguing. ืืืื ืืืงืื ืขื, you should believe the witness (my client) because if he wanted to lie he could have said a better lie. And the same want by the other side!! Fascinating. ืื ืืคืขื ืข ืชืืกืคืืช. I wanted to point that out to my “club”
Little FroggieParticipantUjm, In that case I would have pleaded to be recused (is that a word?). I would have darshed in front of the (Jewish) judge all about hilchos Mesirah… Gemaros, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, the later Poskim.. until he’d start to “zing arayn”.
CA: He glanced at me and asked if anyone of us need to be let home early on Friday, they were very accommodating (I said 2, they stopped at 1). Mrs/Ms/Mz Court Officer pulled me aside when ordering lunches for the rest of the bunch, she had the menu sheet of a nearby Kosher Deli for me to choose. (Of course I declined, corn chips and coffee are just fine)
AAQ: They specifically request over and over again to let feelings of mercy etc right outside the door. That’s for the judge to decide. We are bidden to have, as you yourself put it, courts of justice. Because you have rachmanus, it has no bearing on the truth, whether the drunk drove or not.
Little FroggieParticipantIt didn’t involve Jews. And I didn’t want to make a Chilul HaShem by saying anything nasty. As it was it was a bit of inconvenience but definitely an experience.
Little FroggieParticipantAre you kidding?!? Planes fly in the clouds!!! That’s where all the internet stuff is… Cloud based
Little FroggieParticipantThat time of year. Hmm.. let me see.. where saw I holding last year? Hey… which color am I? (Is it even legal today to have to colors?)
Little FroggieParticipantWe all did the same in the glorious Covid year(s). We were paid NOT to work
Little FroggieParticipantIt’s called a Good Achis!!
Little FroggieParticipantI once (OK a few times) had a better seat. It was a window seat. The front window. And I had the fun of flying it.
