You cannot force people to be frum. You can inspire them, you can show them the beautiful stuff of Yiddishkeit, but you cannot coerce. Or, you can just accept that Yidden come in different levels. The only time that it can be a Halachic state is when we will have a Sanhedrin. But let’s suppose we do have a Halachic state, then whose psakim do we follow? Who decides what is allowed and what is not?
There are many rabbonim and tzadikim in the past few decades who have said that if there’s any issues with religion in EY such as chilul shabbos etc, it’s ONLY because of the frum memebers of society.
Unfortunately many, not all, Chareidim have made Yiddishkeit very ugly. The brand of Yiddishkeit they espouse is very extreme, overzealous etc. Why would a secular person be inspired by that?
You guys genuinely seem somewhat learned. What excuse do you guys have to be so involved in CR? So much wasted time
It’s that also. What I mean to say is Jews have been getting “resumes” or “summaries” of boys and girls since time immemorial. We just changed it to paper because of Meshugas. This is not central to being a frum yid.
“Do you know Dasani water is tap water? Now what if that tap water was unfiltered (like in NYC) and there are rabbanim (I know rabbi belsky disagreed) that say that it needs to be filtered
In that case does water need a hechsher?”You only need a hechsher if you want to cater to a market that hold’s of the the stringent shita of that Rav.
Ask yourself a simple question: If you met the Shaagas Aryeh, or the Radvaz, etc and told them that in 2022 we have a symbol that says water is kosher, what would they say to you?
“I dont understand this example, Are you saying it isnt kosher? How is this an example of them not following shulchan aruch. Water is kosher and they certify that it is. What is the problem?”
I need a hashgacha agency to tell me water is kosher? Vechi water cannot be kosher? That is what I mean. So it is shtusim. If you buy into it and do not believe in your own personal harchavas hadaas, then it’s ok. I have no tainos on people who decide to wear blinders with the acknowledgment that they have blinders.
a resume is just “she’s a good girl, her father is a rov, she’s eidel, good middos, etc. etc.” on paper.
“Why do people have shidduch resumes at all? They certainly didn’t have them in the alter heim.”
Excellent point
Rightwriter:
1. I think the perception of Jews the world over has benefited from the IDF, even a guy in Brooklyn.
2. Having said that, I agree with you 100%. The CHIDA has a tefila to include in davening in which he asks for Hashem to grant us Chilutz Atzamos (physical strength). Jews should be top caliber intellectually, including in Torah study, but also should be top caliber physically. It doesn’t mean they are obsessed body builders. It just means they are in shape, strong, brave, etc.
I must say that in Israel, the Dati model is a little more successful in that regard. They are frum, but they give off an image of strength, confidence, etc. The Chareidim give off a weak, feable image.
Why can’t we be both?
PS: Yishmael only understands physical strength.
Syag, no bitterness. Why do you give hashgachas full rein? What’s your take on “kosher” water? Or “kosher” table cloths. Which siman in S”A talks about kosher vs. unkosher water?
For example, giving a Hechsher to water that comes directly from filtered water pipes (zero chashash for grapes, etc.). Have you ever heard of “kosher” water??
Another example is a Hashgacha requiring the food manufacturer to use ingredients/coponents only with THEIR Hashgacha. In other words, Hashgacha Gimmel requiring a muffin manufacturer to use flour, sugar etc etc with Gimmel, and not from equally-reliable Daled. That is not Halacha, that is money.
You guys can argue all you want but everyone knows that the IDF changed the perception of the world vis a vis the “weak Jew”. And that does not negate the fact that Hashem runs the world.
No, I’m an adherent of Emes. Plus, let’s not forget that based on your previous analyses (plural), we’ve determined that there’s an interruption in your Mesorah. So you are summarily unqualified to talk about Kashrus.
50% of the decisions, operations and Hashkafa of most hashgachas have nothing to do with Halacha. You guys know that right?
So there’s minhag to pour water and there’s also a minhag for commonseychel to call everyone a troll

A minhag for you to call everyone a troll.
So it seems like a Minhag.
Where is it brought down that one should pour a drop of water from a Becher into a wine bottle?
How were you able to answer ubiquitin’s question before it was posted?
Where is this brought down?
My question is: Where is it brought down that one should specifically pour a drop of water from a Becher into a wine bottle?
Aveirah you’re not taking like a T”C. A T”C looks at all sides, sees the maalah of the other side, even if ultimately he doesn’t agree. This has been the way for millennia. You come off as very arrogant. I really can’t respect someone who is so involved with the Coffee Room as T”C. Yes, I’m on it too, but I don’t claim to be a T’C. Please answer the question though: what trauma did you experience when you transitioned from MO to “Chareidi”? Btw “Chareidim” in EY wouldn’t sanction your involvement in the CR.
How are Lakewood and say, Bnei Brak different?
Again. Who decides who is and who isn’t in this fictional “Yeshiva World”?
Haha I looked at 273. Either way, it doesn’t say pouring a drop of water from becher to bottle.
OC 473:1 talks about Makom seuda and kiddush. Don’t see anything about pouring water from a becher into a bottle.
Where is this brought down in the S”A?
They fill the cup with water, then pour just a drop into the bottle?
Shas is a Lithuanianized party pretending to serve Sefardim.
Correct, there’s no Mitzvah. I am simply stating an observation.
Who does 1)?
No you have a break in your Mesora in how you reason and how you react. And what does all this have to do with Shas?
What’s a “Lakewood-style” community?
I can say with 100% certainty that Aveirah and UJM have a major interruption in their mesorah. In other words, Mesorah is a chain going all the way back to Maimad Har sinai. If there is a break in that mesorah, then paskening, minhagim etc. become hazy. The way they analyze these issues shows me that their mesora is not shaleim. I can say with 100% certainty that both these people have a break somewhere in that mesorah. Same thing with the user in other posts “Joseph”.
Because it’s a halacha, Eisav soineh leYankef
“Aveirah” :)))
DaMoshe, very valid point
