I am embarrassed to say ive never even heard of telegram until now and I am usually on top of these things
Finances
It affects every, Its getting too expensive from yeshiva tutions, Kosher food and the high cost of living in a Frum area
SMC
You obviously missed the point, the Bans are useless. technology is moving ahead whether you like it or not. Did you know the Chofetz CHaim would learn by candlelight and refused to learn by electric light. I dont see anyone advocate doing that.
You have to learn to live with these things. We are not going back to a life of Subsitance Farming ,riding Donkeys , and sending messages by Horses.
Any technological advance has good and bad and Ive heard people call a smart phone “Avodah Zarah”.
I used the phone and printing press to show devices that are accepted that have caused much damage. It was the printed word that allowed Kefira to be spread. No filter prevented this Kefira from being printed. So you ban WhatsApp, people can just go back to the phone and talk Loshon Harah. If someone wants to do an Averiah they will find a way. No bans are going to stop them
For the record I do not use Whats Up, but my point is any technology has good and bad and banning it really is silly because people who want to do things against the torah will find another way to do it
Is Whats App easier to spread Loshon Hara than a Telephone, Probably very similar
is the majority of people speaking on the phone learning torah/Chessed or Business, or does it involved Loshon Harah, Nivel Peh , abizraya di’Arayos
And which group do you think is bigger?
is the majority of Printed Materials Torah related or Kefirah, Prizus nasrishkeit and other things
Which do you think is bigger?
The Nazis invaded Europe and killed people while Learning Torah.
Many times Torah alone does not protect.
Was the printing Press a Positive or a negative?
How about the Telephone?
There are issues with almost anything
I think automobiles cause more accidental deaths than anything else. Should we avoid the car because many people get killed each year
Should we ban the Telephone because of all the Lashon Harah spoken on it?
Should we ban the Printing Press because of all the Prizus and Kefirah because of it. The Hashkalah would never have occured without the printing press
What wasnt Eicha supposed to be said today?
It is not proper Kavod, The Rebbe is not your friend, He is a Rebbe and deserves the proper kavod of a Rebbe
You have asked these kinds of questions before. I am not chassidic, however I am not sure its totally appropriate to contact a chassidic rebbe you are not affiliated with. The exception might be the Boston Rebbe and a few others, but most arent in the category
WhatsApp is a chatting App
its a strong language
He purposely used harsher language to make his point
Also its the poster themself. If I had written a similar post you would have gotten a different feeling, If a certain nameless trollish poster had posted it you would have gotten another feeling
There will not be Frei jews during the time of Moshiach
but in the merit of his prayers his primary talmid Reb Elchonon Wasserman, may G-d avenge his blood, was
Should have been written something like this..Although it probably never should have been written at all
The Chofetz Chaim’s primary talmid Rav Elchanon Wasserman was R’L killed by the Nazis YMSH. HYD
The way the language was written
The frei ones are not going to want to pay for Yissocher and they do have ways not to pay.They could just leave for example.
The Post seemed to me to be posted very haughtingly and in a tone that warranted the response
So who decided who is Yissochar and who is Zebulun
You cant force people to be the Zebulun, everyone is going to want to be Yissachar
The charedim will be forced to get jobs
If you are 50% of the population you cannot expect the other 50% to pay for your lifestyle, they will balk and if you try to force them and they cannot change the laws, they will leave making even more of a aid based society
The chofetz chaim is not the same as Rabbi AKiva
Sorry but that is really bad advice. You NEVER call a stranger. You need to go to people who are vetted a little bit. Unfortunatly just because someone is an orthodox jew, doesnt mean its appropirate for someone to go to their house if you dont know them
Many times there are many shitas on a particular case.
Shabbat.com might have age restrictions Im not sure, so that site might not work for you.
Generally Sephardim wear Tallisim, but Askenzim dont at that age
Just some advice here, this forum is not really the best place for judaic advice, you are much better off going to something like NCSY and ask these questions
Thanks for the invitation, unfortunatly I am doing ________________ on this shabbos
Its likely that Both Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump both converted for marriage as both married jews and converted orthodox
It doesnt matter why the conversion occured. if the Gador Hador says something you can belive it especially since he flew to Brooklyn to do so which is a major undertaking. Many Gedolim will not leave Israel.
Mammle
There was a convert who converted in israel, Rav Ovadiah Yosef the Gadol hador for Sephardim flew to Brooklyn to vouch for her and they still would not let her marry in.
(It almost did create a schism because many did not want to disobey the Gadol Hador especially since he flew to Brooklyn to speak to the leaders)
A Brit came to a real estate agent in NY and asked for a “Free Flat”, every where he went all the real estate agents threw him out as they did not know what he wanted.
Finally he went to an agent who knew that Flat meant apartment in english, but he told the Brit. that he had flats available, but that he had to paid for them, they were not free
If you come across the pond and ask for the “Car Park” people will look at you funny and wonder what you are talking about
I have spent many shabbos tables at people who are not like me and it really depends on the host if I am comfortable or not. If the host only discusses Kedoshim it really doesnt work, but if the host will discuss other topics that they think I might be interested in there is no problem
And my personal favorite Brits use “Supporter” instead of “Fan”.
Whenever I go to Europe I have to remember to speak British instead of English
All joking aside people from Chicago have a differnt accent than people from NY who have a differnt accent than people from Boston
Spoken from a guy who spells Tire with a Y ..Tyre
Parks their car in a “Car Park” instead of a “Parking Lot”. What is a “Car Park” anyway..A Park full of Cars
And rides a train that tells everyone to “Mind the Gap ” instead of telling them to “Watch their step”
And take a “Lift” instead of an elevator. A “LIft” is a verb not a noun
I did a quick google and there was a woman who converted in israel and Rav Ovadiah Yosef personally flew from israel to Brooklyn to vouch for the woman they still refused to let her marry one of them. They disobeyed the gadol Hador for this takanah
One of the converts I know well converted and they found out later they didnt need to convert as they were jewish all along. I belive there is a idea that a convert really isnt a convert but someone who is just coming back
If your daughter was redt two otherwise equal guys for a shidduch, one was a black ger born in Nigeria (now living in the US) and the other was Jewish born in the US with a long line of documented yichus from both sides directly back to Rashi and the gedolim in the doros since. The American for whatever reason won’t be available for dating for a week after the Nigerian is available for dating, but other than the aforementioned both are equally good boys and a match for your daughter.
I belive the son or grandson of Moshe Rabbeneu was a Rasha and the Sons of Korach were Tzdekim and the decendents of Haman became the head of the Sandedrin. And a decendent of the Baal Shem tov has been in the news lately for a “Change” in their life. Yichus can be overrated
I suspect the takana was not because of dating but because of the danger of performing conversions. A muslim who converts to Judaism is subject to the death penalty (As was christians during the Middle Ages) Rabbis did not perform conversions except in the Netherlands because they could get killed
WOW, I know many wonderful gerim and its a shame they cant marry any Syrians. I didnt realize they were that harsh
If the guy is macher, there isnt much the Rabbi can really do about it. Unfortunatly money talks LOUDLY
Is the place the Rav’s shul or is he just an employee.
If he is just an employee of the Shul’s board, he might actually be a bit powerless and the person who was rude to you might actually be a macher who is more powerful than the Rabbi. and he is actually quite powerless
If the shul is the Rav’s shul then you should write the letter
When Brits mispronouce Leicaster as Lester instead of proper english by pronoucing it as Li-Caster they need to be taught how to speak english properly
I dont think the syrians prohibited marrying Gerim, the prohibitted themselves from making gerim, but they accept them from other communities.
If you go to the Syrian community in Brooklyn asking about conversion they will tell you they dont do it, but they will tell you where to go
Its pronouced LESTER not Li-caster. I dont know where the Brits learned proper english pronunciation from
Most of us here in the US dont really know much about English Football. Those of us who follow sports dont really follow Soccer.
I did see that there were 5000 to 1 odds paid out for them to win.
Google Red Star Line Museum in Antwerp
It was a fascinating museum and I found out some family history when I was there. I had family members who had gone through Antwerp and this museum (It wasnt a museum, it was the ships docking) they turned it into a museum.
If anyone here ever gets to Antwerp you should certainly visit this museum
Cruz and Kasich had no path to victory
Its foolish to fight a battle you cant win, At some point you are labeled a sore loser and damage yourself even worse
trump should get the 1237 Delegates without a brokered convention, He has 1050 now and NJ has 51 that he is basically gurnatteed to get. He . There are 390 more available and then he would only need 135 or so of them and he was also ahead in California with 172 delegates
I know for many chassidim preserving their look is extremely important. I mean they have been wearing the same clothing for literally hundreds of years. I would think this to mean they would want to preserve the color of their offspring as well.
Chabad is very different than other chassidim. The Lubavicher Rebbe was much more modern thinking than others. He embraced many of the newer things in order to spread the word of hashem.
