Some yeshivos are factories producing educated laymen
Miracles happening in war in E.Y.
The credibility of a Kol Korei recording isn't there. Seems that a Kol Korei has no credibility at all.
ReplyDeleteNot what he said. He said that if a Kol Korey was created through some askon gathering signatures it has little value because they won't tell you who refused to sign. Most Kol Koreys today fall into that category.
Delete720 -- you mean who signed first, who signed cause other Gadol signed (but not before)
DeleteHaven't they always been like that?
DeleteWhen it come to voting for Eretz Hakodosh, hefkervelt is a big fan of Kol Koreys. When it comes to voting for Schnall, Kol Koreys become meaningless on hefkervelt.
DeleteWhich recording discusses kol koreis? Because I can't find any
DeleteAnyone who signs a Kol Korei without having researched a matter himself and spoken to the person they are signing against has announced that their signature is worthless.
DeleteI ignore all Kol Koreis that are signed by those who have signed in the past without taking responsibility.
the story of the golem of the maharal is proven to be 100% fiction.
ReplyDeleteWhoa.However unpc it will to be to take this benighted stand,the very fact that Czech goyim in the early 19th century were still scared of some golem should prove that something, in some form, probably sort of existed ?
DeleteThe Czech goyim believed in lots of nonsense. Some of that leaked into Judaism.
DeleteThe Rumanian goyim believed in Frankenstein, don't mean it's true.
Frankenstein, or rather Dracula- who was based on an actual person
DeleteSee, Mr. Cohen fell for it. Others believe in the Golem.

DeleteIirc how did Mary Shelley come to the concept of Frankenstein 'randomly' in Central Europe (besides as reaction to her radical proto-feminist mother Mary Wollstonecraft)?
DeleteThe golem of Prague has references too early time for it to be a variation of the Frankenstein. I don't know if it existed but most of the claims of it being made up give "actual" origins that post date the legend becoming widely known
DeleteNobody claimed that the golem was a variation of Frankenstein.
DeleteMerely that local myths entered Jewish culture. People believed in all kinds of superstitions in those days, like nowadays. And some of those superstitions entered the back door of Jewish culture. Smart people didn't bother themselves with nonsense like that, it didn't make them wiser or better people. But the riffraff believed in all kinds of foolishness.
People contra your modox propaganda weren't that primitive or gullible in all kinds of superstitions in those days.They believed- because they were astute & had valuable experience.Tgey would've been condescending to your modern adolescence
Deletealmost no poskim hold that surveillance cameras work for yichud even if they are working.
ReplyDeleteThis point that yeshivas do not prepare you for the real world is a hot button. It is very hard (though aurely not for everyone) to keep a respectable seder hayom when your waking hours consist of office work and family obligations.
