Wow 3.6 million cups of coffee. How many minutes are wasted drinking them and bittul Torah? How much shtussim talk is talked during these 3.6 million cups of coffee?
ReplyDeletei bet you never drink a cup of coffee because you don't want to waste a minute of learning except to post important things on blogs
DeleteYou sound like an AH who didn't learn much in yeshiva.
DeleteHow many hours were gained by energized, focused learning?
Spoken by a true masmid atzom who nevers wastes a second online. It averages to about 1.5 to 2 cups of coffee a day per Talmid. To have koach to learn. Not hock online
DeleteWhile not condoning bitul Torah, there are several things to keep in mind. First, during learning there are no distractions allowed, no phones no eating no coffee at your desk so you're forced to go out and drink a coffee. Don't start telling me to manage without it, this after being up with your kid in the night etc. And you need to concentrate and focus intently. Secondly people need help and advice and this is a time to get some info, from shidduchim and dating location info, to medical housing and many other things. You are there till 730 pm with not much free time, no Sunday to deal with everything. So just like the proverbial water cooler at the office the coffee room serves a valuable purpose.
DeleteChazal call you a person who says מאי אהני לן רבנן
DeleteYou should ask mechila from the bnei Torah
Their שיחת חולין is worth far more than your learning.
DeleteEvery tragedy has a wake up call message directly from Hashem that you're not going to find in any sefer in the world or read in any newspaper from a Gadol Hador or speaker saying about the tragedy. Neither is it from me a internet writer businessman.
DeleteTHE SHOCKING MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM RELATING TO COFFEE.
Do YOU drink coffee, I'm just asking? See that's your corrupted human psychological mind (יצר הרע) fooling you and convincing you huh I had my morning coffee, now I feel strong and ready to go to work/learn. What would be if your spouse or parent woke you up one morning and asked you, how are you feeling today? now that you slept longer than usual? You would reply I'm feeling much better and more ready for my day. And then a minute later the person yells back at you, no it's a mistake that was 2 nights ago, don't you remember last night we had a late night wedding and didn't return home until after 2:00am? What would happen to you as soon as you heard that? Your entire body would weaken now that your corrupted human psychological mind told you that you slept the same many hours as usual. Showing you that it's all in your corrupted human psychological mind (יצר הרע) and the way how a person thinks. What's A Pill/Vitamin? 100 crumbs put together to make it into a pill but nobody in the world can heal anyone besides Hashem Directly and all strength comes DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM as we say in davening every morning Boruch Hanosein layoeif Coach-Blessed is Hashem for giving us strength. Sure we still have to do our part hishtadlus and eat, drink, sleep etc…. But in truth it all comes directly from Hashem. Who 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.
Shalom - never stop taking your meds. It may seem like a small thing, but it makes a big difference.
DeleteWhy is there no names on the letter? Who is talmidim? It's a call for gedolim and rabanim. Not talmidim.
ReplyDeleteThe clueless mayor has no idea what goes on in town had no knowledge about a major construction project but than goes on TLS for propoganda to show how he got involved to switch the work to overnight shift. In a normal run town it would never come down to that in the first place

Well played.

Note Tina Kelly, in the first paragraph of Monday's article, calls out the Commissioner for not following the court order.
"Responding to an appellate court order to decide if Lakewood public schools are funded fairly, the head of New Jersey’s education department has instead called for an“expedited comprehensive study” of the district."
The Commissioner ordered a comprehensive study of Lakewood when she ruled in 2021 that the state is providing for T & E in Lakewood. And now she was reversed and she orders it again?
Her job was to come up with recommendations to adjust funding.
And we are back to court.

what times does shachris start in the Mir?
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming it's the chasidim that are making the eiruv across rt 9. I have no sympathy for BMG hanhala for opening up Lakewood to the chasidim, now you lay in the bed you made.
ReplyDeleteLook like they are putting up a digital advertising board at the corner of rt 9 and Cross.
