More on Xanathan Gum for Pesach
Wasn’t forest renamed heichal shmuel? What’s beis Yisroel?
ReplyDeleteThey were attempting to bring the sheep into the Jewish quarter not har habayis as that’s only on erev Pesach in accordance with the opinion of Rav Akiva Eiger and the Chasam Sofer that the korban Pesach should be sacrificed even without a beis hamikdash.
ReplyDeleteWill you stop trying to come across so simple minded. This idea of bringing a sheep is not halactic but rather political Your politics can be anywhere along the spectrum as far as I'm concerned but at least declare yourself for what you are. The reason nobody contemplates the halachicangle is because we all know it riles up the Arabs. And when they go out and attack you people just claim oh that's who they are they would do it anyhow.
DeleteDo you really think they wouldn’t try to attack you otherwise? They’ve been murdering Jews long before anyone thought of being makriv the korban Pesach and they do it because they hate all yidden not just “zionists”. Don’t be an idiot. If they control the entire Yerushalayim besides Brisk yeshiva they’d still come destroy it because they hate us all equally. Open your eyes!
DeleteSo basically your argument is there is no danger in riling up the Arabs It's just as safe either way.... And if so the question begs to be asked why would someone go ahead and rile them up if there's actually no effect? Oh it's the mitzvah!
DeleteThe whole idea of Korban Pesach is political.
Delete- Eli
DeleteI'm not sure if you have been in Yerushalayim recently (past 60 years) and have taken a bus to the kosel.
We are living in a danger zone filled with Arabs who can easily be riled up and start attacking Jews.
Are you willing to take the achrayus of Jews getting attacked because of some korbon pesach political stunt?
6:05 et al,
DeleteYou're within your rights to disagree, but it's not just political. Those guys are pretty sincere.
More sincere likely than most of your crowd in this town.
6:40 et al,
Is it dangerous? Could be.
More than living in The Old City? Probably not.
Did the Arabs always need to step on us and push us down in the worst ways? For sure.
Enough to kill us? Not usually.
nb,
DeleteIt's nice they're sincere; but they go beyond that line to the level of obtuse.
They seem incapable of recognizing that whatever their intent, always will it be negatively turned by the media into an international relations circus. Combined that with the fact they operate similarly in a nutshell to Chabad & some others: Somehow "all publicity is good publicity"
For neutral bystanders of a more local scale: would be like to handing Tucker C.,Tyler Oliveira, & Co.some new jewish chauvinistic aberration to go after
Sincere!.So there is some truth to the saying the path to H**l is paved with good intentions.
DeleteDId any Rabbanim from Lakewood weigh in on the xanthan gum situation? It seems most Rabbanim outside of Lakewood hold that it's muttar, but what about our Rabbanim?
ReplyDeletewe've been eating "yonek min haxhqketz" for decades.
Deletethis is just a case of chumrah du jour
should read "yonek min hachametz"
DeleteRav Avrohom Miller said in his name and in the name of the baishoraah it is mutar lchatchila.
DeleteWhat's lmaaseh wit the zantan gum besides for the chasidishe hashgachos the mainstream ones didn't address the issue
ReplyDeleteSeems like Xanthan gum is a chumra as most mainstream hechsherim hold it in not a problem. This years hack.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that it's not even a chumra.
DeleteWearing techeiles is more important.
glad those IDF soldiers were fired and reprimended as they dont stand for pluralistic values
ReplyDeletethat's the problem -- charedim don't stand for pluralistic values.
DeleteDear troll 2:54
DeleteWhat is it that you're surely not trying to say?
All the war in EY is due to the miss guided FRUM but KRUM who do such idiotic things like sacrifice sheep, go up to har habayis, were the fake murex techeles which has NO Torah to support it
ReplyDeleteTecheiles is your issue? Theres plenty of Torah to support it. Maybe not mesorah but let’s keep our facts straight.
DeleteI’m not enough of a frothing at the mouth kanoi or anti-Zionist to have become a Navi , like that crowd thinks they have, so I won’t pretend to know these things but Chazal did say the Beis Mikdash was destroyed because of Sinas Chinom. As in the way you express yourself about those who believe they are being mekayam the mitzvah of Techeles.
DeleteLmaaseh the Tziyonim are winning the battle against the Iranian Amalekim. Thank you Bibi and Trump! Hashem's shluchim!
ReplyDeleteReally Yidden dying every day and many hospitalized.
DeleteAnd no end game.
how are they winning?
There's an internal debate going on in non-charedi Israel: what/who matters to who 'We' Are? Having women high up in the army - even if it's less efficient
ReplyDeleteOr
Having charedim enlisting lower down-even if they're very efficient?
The answers are being put into place
The higher echelons of the IDF and above, claim they want charedim. Yet the moment nachal steps of it out of line, they'll suspend the whole unit. And don't pretend this is coming really from CNN or anywhere beyond Israel.
Paradoxically, they'll keep raising women where/how things really count eg brand new unit 504; recently a new woman head of an air base.
They have to be clearly dared: you can't & won't have it both ways
'.."Fascism with a Feminist Face”
DeleteWomen as well suck up the false narratives. If you follow TV and movie trends, you’ll see the completely false narrative that women have been involved in combat and special operations since 9/11, wielding knives, automatic weapons, and krav maga all over the Middle East for decades. The media, from news to entertainment, enable and perpetuate these falsehoods. The truth of the matter is that no established force utilizes women in the field for close or front line combat (including the Israelis) – and this has nothing to do with chauvinism, and a lot to do with the fact that women just don’t want to involve themselves in war until they’ve been programmed to want it – and yet, they still suck at it. Women in rebel forces often participate in front line combat, but that’s more due to a desperate need than a want or skill – they still suck at it. Women have been allowed to become Navy SEALS since 2016, yet no woman participates in that front line combat. In Afghanistan, the US Army attempted an all woman unit (trained to a lower standard than men because they couldn’t carry the weight nor meet the physical requirements) searching for weapons and conducting house to house searches. The experiment had to be terminated early because they were firing at each other and shooting friendlies, because they were operating in panic mode. The fact is the overwhelming majority of women choose not to participate in direct proportion to the amount of combat going on at the time

Bettina Arndt ,
I enjoy your writing on this issue. Have you ever read Pink & White Tyranny by Harriet Beecher Stowe?
Avi,
How many men are missing out on employment as lollipop operators or even admin in construction due to the ‘need’ to hire women to get the contracts?
The feminazis now control every aspect of society.'
There is ABSOLUTELY No Torah to support the fake murex techeles. It is a big HOAX propagated by two modern Orthodox YU chevrah
ReplyDeleteAnother troll. R Y Berkowitz definitely disagrees
DeleteThe son of the Chofetz Chaim writes that his father once got a letter asking him to arbitrate over a fight about those who wear Radziner techeles. The kanoim/hot heads in town were saying that we can't allow people to be buried in them in our Beis HaKavorus because that implies our acceptance. While he didn't answer because he didn't get involved in such fights he told his son that he doesn't understand how anyone could make machlokes over a thing like that. Just bury people in whatever they wore during their lifetimes V'Shalom Al Yisroel. V'Dai L'Mavin....
DeleteYair Lapid claims that he managed to prevent the money from being transferred to the Yeshivos.
ReplyDeleteIn cahoots with the anti-Yeshiva factions in Lakewood, who claim to be fighting zionim but are really fighting the Yeshivos.
The murex is the source of purple ( argamon) NOT blue!! There is NO CHAZAL to support it. It is all fake
ReplyDeleteIDK about blue but there is certainly no Chazal to support the idea the murex is argaman, if we're going by this logic.
DeleteTo IDK, you are correct there is no Chazal to support that, however it is a known fact that the murex was used in ancient times to dye PURPLE in Tyre, and along the northern coast of EY and Lebenon. It is an assumption that the purple dye from the murex was argaman
DeleteWho says one animal couldn't be used for both?
DeleteRashi does in Parshad Terumah. Ieyen sham by techeles & argaman. It is clear from Rashi that what ever makes one does not make the other.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pelah how much of the Yeshiva oilam fell for the fake murex professional PR, but anyone who looks into it s little see they often INTENTIONALLY MISS QUOTE CHAZAL. It is s BIG HOAX!
ReplyDeleteHardly any Yeshivaleit wear murex.
DeleteThose who do usually have other 'issues' too.
But it seems to be a halachic machlokes, closer to a derech halimud machlokes.
See Yalkut Yosef for an interesting position.
'MiSS Quote' ahem should be taken as serious opinion??
