אזל אסקיה [ליש”ו] בנגידא (לפושעי ישראל) א”ל מאן חשיב בההוא עלמא א”ל ישראל מהו לאדבוקי בהו א”ל טובתם דרוש רעתם לא תדרוש כל הנוגע בהן כאילו נוגע בבבת עינו
א”ל דיניה דההוא גברא במאי א”ל בצואה רותחת דאמר מר כל המלעיג על דברי חכמים נידון בצואה רותחת תא חזי מה בין פושעי ישראל לנביאי אומות העולם עובדי ע”ז
If found, where should it be returned to?
Who is the biggest Sefardic godol today?
“Onkelos then went and raised J the Nazarene from the grave through necromancy. Onkelos said to him: Who is most important in that world where you are now? J said to him: The Jewish people. Onkelos asked him: Should I then attach myself to them in this world? J said to him: Their welfare you shall seek, their misfortune you shall not seek, for anyone who touches them is regarded as if he were touching the apple of his eye.
Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for J himself, in the next world? J said to him: He is punished with boiling excrement. As the Master said: Anyone who mocks the words of the Sages will be sentenced to boiling excrement. And this was his sin, as he mocked the words of the Sages. The Gemara comments: Come and see the difference between the sinners of Israel and the prophets of the nations of the world. As Balaam, who was a prophet, wished Israel harm, whereas J the Nazarene, who was a Jewish sinner, sought their well-being.”
Translation from Sefaria.
You’re sure you don’t believe he’ll come within a week rather than you’re simply not wanting him to come within a week — because you’re too comfortable in golus to have him interrupt your rhythm and lifestyle or simply not being ready for him?
When converting the CR from the old software to the new, most large posts got cut down to one or two lines. This lost many thousands of old posts.
“yes the dating process as you describe it is unbalanced and the boy has the harder job. But that’s ok- because for the rest of the guy’s life, his wife will be cooking for him, cleaning up after him, picking up his socks from the floor”
Then it makes more sense for dates to be more balanced on the side of the girl doing things for the boy, so that he can see how she’ll be performing as a wife.

For those who follow this pop-culture custom for this season, what presents did you under your Chanukah tree?
The Vilna Gaon wasn’t, in his time, accepted as the top leader by all of Klal Yisroel, either. So I don’t see how today is any different than the time of the Gaon.
It has been far from uncommon for Klal Yisroel to have had one widely acknowledged leader of leaders. The Chofetz Chaim, who lived during the lifetime of some Yidden alive today, is another recent example.
LC: Paul built it on Yushke Pundrik’s foundation.
The mamzer wasn’t born on December 25th. That date was conveniently used to co-opt a pagan holiday on that date, when the Christians were trying to convert the pagans.
Btw, where other than the coffee room can a random new poster ask a question on a comment someone made nine years earlier, and actually get an answer from him!
There’s no backpedaling. I am reaffirming what I originally stated.
Now that’s the real problem with shidduchim
Well, as you know, our date didn’t go well. And it was all your fault. I generally get along with non-axe-murderers.
“The guy” who the holiday is named after is a rasha merusha burning in gehenim ad hoyom hazeh in who’s name much much Jewish blood has been spilled.
————————————–
Joseph, im not saying your wrong but im just wondering if you have a source to back up your claim that yoshko is”burning in gehinom ad hayom hazeh”?Takes2, do you need a source, too, that Hitler ym’s is burning in gehinom ad hayom hazeh? Hitler is a talmid of cheese ‘n crackers. For 2000 years Jews have been burnt at the stake, and all sorts of evil vicious murderous persecutions in his name, because of the religion, or whatever you want to call the thing/teachings, that he started/initiated/organized.
Okay, so what we’ve established is…
Gentiles are considered married anytime a man and woman are living together, regardless of any formal marriage certification under gentile laws.
Gentiles are considered divorced from each other whenever one of the two decides to leave the others home.
The above means that a gf/bf (that aren’t married under the law) would be considered married under the Sheva Mitzvos.
Violation of the marriage carries capital punishment.
Question: Regarding the last point, does violating the marriage mean, like by us Yidden, that the violation occurred with a married woman? IOW, a married woman with any male not her husband means both of them are guilty. But a married man with an unmarried woman does not constitute guilt. Or by gentiles does even a married man with an unmarried woman constitute guilt?
My guess (without having looked it up) is that only the former constitutes guilt. (IOW, similar to how it works, in this regard, by Yidden.)
Many have argued that Rav Chaim shlita was the top gadol hador since Rav Elyashiv was niftar, like GAON said above, and Rav Shteinman zt’l and Rav Auerbach shlita came just after Rav Chaim.
A big reason why Rav Shteinman was accepted as the successor to Rav Elyashiv is because Rav Chaim told Klal Yisroel to do so.
I think Meno is an axe murderer.
You can use potatoes as a Chanukah menorah.
Winnie, how can the guy judge whether the girl is sensitive to his needs?
WB Torah613, and freilichen Chanukah. You’ve been AWOL for a very long time.
Are you starting to pull a Dr. Pepper on us and show up here once a year?
Look guys, if ZD and I agree on something, then it’s case closed, discussion over, issue resolved.
Next subject.
Rav Chaim.
KJ: They can have Yiddish pen pals. Like between an American Chasidishe kid with a Yerushalmi Litvish kid.
Did someone say Chanukah P-A-R-T-Y ?!?!?!!
<bump>
Obviously, a walk in central park is a lot different than a walk in a country road out in the boondocks…
How is a walk in a country road out in the boondocks different than taking a date on a highway or an interstate drive?
Where is your emunah, guys? You’re debating whether Moshiach will c’v not be here in 6000? You should be confident Moshiach will be here before the end of Chanukah!
It’s completely unacceptable.
Dates must occur in the privacy of the parent’s home.
Is the State of srael a poor country where the government cannot afford to buy basic protections for its security personnel, that it needs to resort to private fundraising from overseas supporters?
Yichusdik, you’re making contradictory points. You’re saying the male gene pool is intact while the female isn’t as much. Then you’re saying that the females were attacked, introducing non-semitic male genes into our pool. You have to decide which story line you want to follow.
What I would submit is that you not pay attention to these gentile and secular genes professors’ theories about Jewish heritage and DNA. They keep changing their storyline, depending on who is looking to make a name for himself with the latest theory. They’re mostly not worth the academic papers they’re printed on.
Rav Kalisher was niftar prior to the advent of political Zionism. To call him a Zionist is a lie. To even insinuate her shared ideals of the later Zionists is a gross falsehood.
As far as Rabbi Teichtal, he was a small town rabbi who was never considered to be from the gedolim. He only changed his position regarding settling Israel after the war broke out.
CS, I think you drank too much. Sober up!
CS: The sichos of the Rebbe zt’l explain the embassy move of 2017?
RZ: Perhaps you’re correct. I don’t have a direct source on the narrow point whether the non-Jewish courts/law system has the right to define what constitutes marriage and divorce for non-Jews. Do you have a source stating that Halacha directly defines their marriage/divorce and they cannot define it through their Bnei Noach courts/laws?
Off brand rice crispies is good but not necessarily corn flakes.
CS:
You still haven’t told us
a) what you think is the “spiritual significance of the Jerusalem and embassy announcement”,
b) why you think that’s what the significance is and
c) how you came to that momentous conclusion.
The purpose is to allow the citizenry to benefit from the advice of the Wise Men of the CR.
“Question I don’t know the answer to”
Is this title predicated on the assumption that it is rare for there to be a question you don’t know the answer to? (:
We care because they are required to uphold the Sheva Mitzvos on penalty of death. The Sheva Mitzvos are binding upon them bzman hazeh, including before Moshiach.
adocs, that’s an interesting question that perhaps someone will answer. But as an aside note that regarding the Bnei Noach laws they are chayiv a capital crime even if it was b’shogeg.
He was willing to accept Uganda as a permanent Jewish nation.
The point being that Eretz Yisroel was no better to him, it just happened to be what became more politically feasible for them to try to claim legal sovereignty over. All he wanted was real estate to make a country out of.
A country that they wanted to have criminals like other countries, so it should be no different than gentile countries.
