  2. Does a person looking to become a jew need to be told about mitzvos for the geirus to be valid? https://musingsonthetorah.blogspot.com/2023/04/who-is-jew.html

  3. Thank you hatzola but don't forget, Thank you Hashem. Thank Hashem for the neis and thank Hashem for hatzola but don't forget that it's all from Hashem!

  4. We should not be relying on Hatzola when we can daven direct to hashem. That same krume logic is used when criticizing those that go to Uman, Kerestir, or Meron.

    1. It's all the same, right? Relying on an unseen, unheard and non-understood spiritual 'force' is the same as using a doctor?

      ורפא ירפא מכאן שניתנה רשות לרופא לרפאות. The Torah told us to use doctors, although we still must be careful to rely on Hashem and Daven that the doctor be His messenger.

      Where is the פסוק to use some dead human? Certainly Daven to Hashem and hope that he Davens for you as well. But who said that you can use a dead person in the same way you use a doctor? Where is the פסוק?

    2. the difference is obvious. nobody worships hatzolah or davens to hatzolah. the moderne chasidim daven to rav shayala and worship him like a god.
