Not a fan of the music 30 minutes before shabbos. Really disliked it last week. Does not feel Shabbosdik and, if you take in Shabbos early, it is the exact opposite of the Shabbos feel.
ReplyDeleteWell bring at the correct time and you won't have issues
DeleteThis is what we need in Galut!
DeleteEven if you don't take Shabbos in an hour early, it is still hiddur mitzvah to light a little early (10 minutes, or so) and this music interferes with the kedusha of shabbos. it was BOOMING!
DeleteWho owns the Shabbos speakers? Is it the Township?
DeleteThe music shters the people that make early shabbos.
DeleteIts sefira music should not be played.
DeleteWho chooses the music?
ReplyDeleteWhat other neighborhoods?
ReplyDeleteOy. Please no music. Another degradation of communal life. We’ve been keeping Shabbos for a long time without it.
ReplyDeleteMusic during sefirah? Either way please don't bring this idea to my neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteNobody ever use to make early Shabbos before Shevuos. Especially Bnai Torah. New moderna mishigas!(except for those who have a mesorah to do so year round)
ReplyDeleteNo one used to have loudspeakers blaring music for several minutes straight either...
DeleteOr have small or young children
DeleteThis whole thing is not a Jewish Tradition.
DeleteWill sounds like the 'Inner Hood".
What if someone is in Availus ? will you supply them with ear plugs enough to drown out the music ?
Which poskim were consulted on this issue ??
The shofar being blown to signal the arrival of shabbos is from the time of the bais hamikdash. Not sure which tradition you are referring to, but please educate yourself.
DeleteThe shofar was blown to cease from melacha. Implying that they worked until the last minute. Which we do not do today after 18 min before true Shabbos.
DeleteTo some it sounds like the Muslim prayer call that goes off 4:30 am in the summers.
Historically, all Jews made early Shabbos. The idea of making late Shabbos is a newfangled, post-holocaust concept.
ReplyDeleteBTs are wonderful. But they shouldn't be telling us our Mesora.
+1 :-)
DeleteRidiculously innacurate. In Krakow - the largest Jewish community in the world at the time - they followed Rabbeinu Tam, and lit candles after shkiya regularly.
DeleteCan someone please explain this “Reb Shayale” madness? At what point is this straight up עבודה זרה and/or דורש אל המתים? And let’s not even talk about the fact that nobody even heard of him 10-15 yrs ago other than a handful of people.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It's completely Avoda Zara when you can go directly to the source our loving father and king of kings Hashem ruler of the entire world.
DeleteWho do YOU think has a bigger chance of their tefillos being answered directly from Hashem? Go to a Gadol Hador for a Bracha for Children or a Shidduch etc … or go to the corner of your house and call out directly to Hashem? Your right He’s a big Gadol Hador and there’s a famous line called “צדיק גוזר ה מקיים” but the pro of YOU going directly to Hashem is WAY more powerful. What’s the message? Stop depending on Rebbe’s, segulahs, doctor’s & Lawyers and turn directly to Hashem for help as we say in bentching from Tehillim “ודורשי ה לא יחסרו כל טוב” i.e. for one who seeks out Hashem directly lacks nothing that is good.
Many have tried praying and weren't helped yet were helped when they went to R Shayala. People are desperate for yeshuos and will try anything.
DeleteOh, ab - whoops, Dovid Hamelech got it wrong then? Because he says לכל אשר יקראהו באמת, but you added 'at a village in Hungary'.
DeleteSee also Mishna Avoda Zara 54b
That has no bearing on a potential issur
DeleteTrump is right Biden is destroying America limb by limb
ReplyDeleteCan someone point to a single policy of Biden's that led to this inflation?
DeleteAnd if yes, how come other countries have the same, or worse, inflation, without Biden at the helm?
Canceling gas leases significantly raised gas prices, a major contributor to inflation.
DeleteCanceling Trump era policies around red tape that businesses faced leading to increased costs.
Allowing millions to be on benefits without needing to work, shrinking the labor pool and increasing costs.
Canceling Trump era corporate tax breaks.
I could go on but you're not really looking for an intelligent debate. You're trying to sound intelligent without actually understanding the facts.
The fourth is fallacy & counter basic economics
DeletePutting aside guilt which Biden does deserve
Deleteiirc the massive inflation got going during Covid under Trump.
It was excused or ignored then as temporary and extraordinary
Once the genie gets out..
1. Canceling gas leases is half of the story. The fossil fuel industry is desperate to prevent any climate change progress, so they decrease prices every time a serious attempt is made at tackling their hegemony, and increase them later. Biden is the first president not to blink for their tactics.
Delete2. What you call 'red tape' is really regulations that protect us all. When Trump canceled the regulations around the train industry, derailings increased by a huge amount. It is those regulations that save your life when there is an earthquake, make sure that tornados and other natural disasters only cause minimal damage, and ensure that harmful chemicals are not released into the air. If you want no regulations, move to China and see how you like it.
3. How exactly did Biden 'allow millions to be on benefits'? The rules weren't relaxed in the last two years, if anything they were tightened.
4. Corporate tax breaks, as has been proven many times in the past, do nothing to help the middle class or shrink the distance between the rich and the poor. Trickle-down economics has been disproven time and time again, yet it is still pushed by the ideologues on the right, goaded by the self-serving uber-rich, who use the problems that they caused to convince the gullible that others are hurting them.
Where exactly is Jackson Trails development? Who is it being marketed to?
ReplyDeleteThe egel hazahav issue is alive and well
ReplyDeleteThe KCL is trying to prevent the chassidim from opening their own hashgacha in Lakewood. We'll see if it works.
ReplyDeleteYour missing the whole point, when you go to a corner of the house to daven, you don't get to enjoy 2lb rib steaks, while getting achance to get away from your nagging wife..
