Perhaps because the Chiuv is on you to not listen. You have to click on it to hear it. There are many Poskim who mater listening to music that is not live, for anyone. And Poskim who permit it under certain circumstances to certain people.
Perhaps you’re right
The CR and the news page are run by a totally different system of moderation, and set of moderators.
EDITED
But enough joking, maybe now it’s time to get cereal.
You are quite rice.
misspelt matxah is also good
Whoa whoa, maybe i shouldn’t have started this
well, that was obvious to me from the beginning (and probably to wolf) but I can’t delete everything 🙂
And I think you already know the answer to your question.
wellinformed
I like your post.
Rabbi Reismans shiur mentioned above
If the Gedolim make a point, is it not fair for us to repeat their holy words and ideas?
More like it is incumbent upon us. But not that we should decide what is excessive and what is not. And they know when and where and how to speak out against such things. We do not.
I heard and greatly appreciated that shiur
Let the Gedolim rally against this excessiveness.
And let us not.
And let the Gedolim decide what is excessive and what is not.
And let us not.
What you say makes sense.
But don’t forget that there is a deeper spiritual core and root in music that we are unable to perceive with our physical senses.
? You got me. You’ll have to ask far greater heads than mine.
“This how I recall the inyan from Chovos HaLvovos”
If it is in excess, it is not tznius, it is not spiritually healthy for the people themselves and certainly not for their children, and it conflicts with the Torah perspective of Derech Eretz.
What is “in excess” and how to determine this is quite difficult, but for a person to live according to his monetary position and the esteem to which he is held in the community IS compatible with Torah principles, although a person who refrains from doing so (if not to the opposite extreme) is praiseworthy.
This how I recall the inyan from Chovos HaLvovos
Maybe someone can help me understand this.
I agree this falls into the category of not being tznius. But do you really not understand this?
If you just want to talk about it and point out how wrong it is, I don’t see much purpose in that except to cause further ill feelings between the haves and have-nots.
Or perhaps you feel that talking about it here might change the behavior of those you are referring to?
That’s a good question, maybe they should.
You could however ask that about every news story. UN condemns Israel, we should daven that the UN treat us fairly. so and so got arrested, we should daven that only Justice is done for him. Stocks are dropping, we should daven that it does not impact Klal Yisroel in a bad way, etc.
I guess they feel that they wish just to report the news aspect and if someone wishes to daven they will.
But ideally, I think you’re right.
Actually I didn’t get it either at first. Then i googled.
goody
those are all quotes by Ambrose Bierce.
I don’t know much about him, but apparently he had an extremely sharp (and cynical) mind.
Seems to me he was a quicker version of mark twain.
Last try 😉
That’s fine, but then that reflects a personal failing on the part of Bilaam — not a collective failing on the part of the nations.
They were one and the same thing.
A well known Chazal from the word “yorad” ( or similar word, I don’t recall, you probably do)when Moshe came down from Har Sinai.
because the nation fell because of the chait ha eigel, Moshe went down in level as well. Some say even physically he could no longer hold up the heavy Luchos and they fell from his hands. Many similar Gemorahs and Meforshim that Moshes level was always reflective of the level of his People, as is the case with all leaders of the Jewish People throughout the generations. I would imagine the same reciprocity applies to all nations, especially in those days. Perhaps not.
This isn’t really a debate………..It’s a question that I would like to find an answer to.
great! One technique you might find useful when someone is trying to give you an answer to a question that you would like to find an answer to is this.
Read the answer, try to imagine what they are trying to say, “try” to find merit in their answer. If you find a logical flaw in the answer, spend some time trying to come up with a way to solve the flaw. Actually try, see if you can understand their answer in a slightly different way than you originally did. If you just can’t get rid of what you originally felt was a logical flaw, then go ahead and ask for clarification. I find this useful when I want to learn something, you may not.
They can’t make ANY argument. They can’t say if only Avrohom were our father. If only we were the Jewish People, if only we were all prophets.
But what they can argue apparently, is that had they a prophet, of their nation, as great as the prophet Moshe, taken from the Jewish Nation, things would have been different. They didn’t argue that had Moshe been their prophet things would have been different.
I know you love the art of debating wolf, but I really don’t. I don’t think I can explain it any clearer. If you still don’t understand what I am trying to say, maybe someone else can answer your points.
The answer isn’t necessarily no.
The answer might be that you don’t NEED to do anything about it. Since you are living a healthy lifestyle, that would be MY answer to you. What exactly those various numbers mean is not nearly as well understood as medical practitioners would have you believe. Although they think they know exactly what the numbers mean, but they always think that (until, as is so often the case, they are again proven wrong).
But according to conventional medical wisdom, many would tell you that you need to go on statins.
“JUST genetics”!?
yes, genetics
I’m just guessing here
Perhaps the defense is:
Moshe and Bilaam were prophets who reflected the people whom they came from. You were given a prophet who reflected the people to whom he was given to exactly the same extent that Moshe reflected the people to whom he was given.
This thread is about a particular Yid. That is entirely appropriate and that’s how it is going to remain.
If anyone would like to start a thread about someone else, please feel free.
He clearly stated that the deep and ultimate root of the word was from seeing, not a drush or play on words. I’m not going to discuss the correctness of Rabbi Miller’s words on this forum.
As usual, that is not my idea, this is what Rabbi Avigdor Miller, tz’l has said on numerous occasions. In addition to his Gadlus in general, he was an expert in dikduk and Loshon Ha’Kodesh.
I’m sorry, I see you were referring to Kivud Av v Em.
I’ll leave my post up anyway.
At the root of Yirah, it means to “see” Hashem. When you come to “see” Hashem you will be both in awe and in fear.
Not the fear of a gang of youths following you, but the fear of the King who you will be called before to have your service to him evaluated, as his executioners stand beside him with their axes, and you see all this.
When one knows he will be judged in righteousness, he will be afraid.
It is not the simple pshat but it’s a pshat. It’s also a drush
It’s not so easy to translate. It doesn’t necessarily mean opposing in a negative sense.
Someone standing and facing another person is k’neged that person.
If I am facing the entrance to the Ohel Ha Moed, I am k’neged it.
It’s not exactly next to but it can carry that connotation depending on the context.
It can also mean: “corresponding to” or “in relation to”
I think it’s brilliant. I wonder if any Meforshim ever expressed a similar idea.
How many of them had children born with Tay-Sachs and other genetic diseases?
derech
1. I’m a physician
2. I’m interested, and keep up, in other areas of science (the way Hashem made a world of infinite wisdom, co-operation and kindliness) as well.
3. google
If both parents have the TS gene, each child has a 25% chance of developing TS disease
It simply is not proper Derech Eretz for a man and woman to hold hands or otherwise affectionately touch in public. It is a strong indictment of our generation, a clear sign of our descent into dullness, foolishness, and blindness, that we can even discuss something so very clear to our Bubbies and Zadies.
The only place you can purchase this book is at “Blessings Bookstore” self described on their website as:”Blessings Bookstore offers a wide variety of quality Christian books, videos, music and more.”
I’m not disagreeing with the substance of your post. Just a point. Oin did not listen to his wife which is why she had to resort to trickery to save his life.
I don’t know about stuttering, but I see many children who begin to blink and squeeze their eyes with no underlying reason that we can detect. Also other “tics”. In my experience they always resolve spontaneously, usually after 3-12 months.
In my opinion it is very important to not make the behavior a matter of discussion. You should act as if you do not notice. Be patient and don’t display any impatience whatsoever as your child struggles to say something.
If it continues past 6 mo or so then you might consider seeking some help.
I hope your screen name is not some kind of a joke relating to the title of your thread.
Are you implying there is some kind of conspiracy of silence?
What exactly would you like to see discussed about people who stutter?
Feel to free to start off the discussion.

rashi isn’t talking about the whole world, just a part of the world.
That’s true, although it was Rabbi Chanina, and probably he was referring to Eretz Yisroel and it’s surrounding countries (I would think).
Sometimes you only need 1 aspirin, especially for children.
you are expecting that SOMETHING may occur that you were not expecting, the specific nature of which is unexpected.
the bubbles are usually multicolored, not white
I wouldn’t call it nonsense either, but Rashi said the waters will be LIKE oil, not that they would fill with oil. Also Rabbi Chanina says that there will be no fish to be found, not that a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a percent of the seas fish will be killed.
if you are “blocked” it will show up under your screen name in previous posts. You can tell. You cant post, you can’t even access the coffee room at all, even to read the posts.
To paraphrase the short discussion in the Gemorah, al pi Artscroll, based on Rabbi Chanina’s droshoh on the above Pasuk:
Before Moshiach, all the waters of the earth will congeal and there will be no fish to be found to heal a person.
