ReplyDeleteI am one of those that are happy in his heart for what is transpiring in Iran.
This memshelas haresha (Iran) had been causing havoc to acheinu beis Yisroel for 45 years.
How many Yiddishe neshumois were killed lo aleinu because of these Islamist.
It. Is. About. Time. We. Took Care of Business.
Yes. I said WE.
If that makes me a Tzioni. Good.
Guilty as Charged.
Why shouldn’t one be happy from the Resha that is being תעקר ותשבר and תמגר’d׳
Genick Shoin! Good riddance
The Medinas hachesed (USA) would never have done this without the joint effort of the ‘Zionist’
And if 1 Yiddishe neshama is saved from this operation it is very much worth it. … And worth being happy.
We must continue to Daven to the רבוש׳ע that both the USA and Israel be successful in their goal of rooting out these cockroaches that have been blowing up buses, firing missiles, stabbing, plundering.
Just in case anyone forgot:
Iran is the Avee avois hateemah
Hamas and Hezbollah and Houtus are just their proxies. The Head of the octopus needed this petsch 45 years ago already but the world was too scared.
Well too bad. Putin is going to lose his oil too
Let all the Resha be gone
במהרה בימינו
and for this….. yes I am happy. Very Happy.
May we only hear besurois toivois and may we all continue to Daven that Bashefar continue to watch over us.
We hardly have any friends.
The cousins hate
The left hates
The hard right hates
The former friends hate
70 to 1 is a neis nigla each day.
Who says a single life was or will be saved?
DeleteSo far, the state of Israel has been a sad failure in saving lives.
What to do in the future? Keep Yeshivos open through dealing with the godless government to allow people to stay in learning, try to help those who aren't learning stay frum, and helping enough people do teshuva.
But the soi is not the solution, and hasn't been in the past.
You don't need to ask mechila from the Satmar Rebbi for dismissing what he said. Incidentally, Rav Aharon told the Lakewood butcher not to sell Satmar meat.
DeleteDecapitation and regime change has never worked and has always backfired actually the situation in Iran now is a product of the US meddling in the Iranian election 45 years ago backing the shah against the will of the people. Think about it if someone wanted to stop democracy and destroyed Washington DC how far would he get? There's at least a large minority of Iranians who are pro regime at best you'll end up with a civil war and more chaos. You can be a Zionist or anti-zionist but you need to think clearly.....
DeleteWhat does Satmar meat have to do with anything?
DeleteAnd I don't think that story is true at all.
It has to do that there has been a turn towards the Satmar shita in the Yeshiva world, thinking that they are more authentic. All has never been so great there. Meat scandals is one example.
DeleteRe my quote of Rav Aharon?
I heard it directly from the Lakewood (and R Aharon's )butcher. He sold only Breuer's and Tzelem as R Aharon instructed him.
You and 99% percent of Lakewood wouldn't eat from that butcher as he was a Yankee Doodle, clean shaven with a ring on his finger! It is well known that Rav Aharon had total confidence in him.
DeleteThose who don't feel the pain of the soldiers and their families, needs a Kaporah!
ReplyDeleteThose who feel their pain, should encourage their return home and to Hashem.
DeleteYou assume that there are no soldiers connected to Hashem. There are tens of thousands, despite your leaders convincing you that as soon as you enter the army you lose your Yiddishkeit.
DeleteSay all the anti-Zionist propaganda and rhetoric about the Zionists was correct. A Yid should still feel their pain and be happy when it was relieved . The Posuk says that Elisha Hanavi cried terribly when telling Chiel he would become king of Aram. Chiel asked him why he was crying so terribly and Elisha answered because I see with nevouah what you will do as king of Aram and basically described another 10/07/2023. The government and people Elisha was referring to was a lot worse than the Zionists. Yet he cried so terribly at the mere thought of such things happening to them.(Had Cheil not asked him why he was crying he wouldn’t have even verbalized it) If Elisha Hanavi was not enough of a kanoi for you I’m sure Rav Reuven Grozovsky was. Yet he also says in his kuntress on Rashaim and mumrim that if Rasyhim are going through difficult times we are not to look at them as Rasayim and feel bad for them. Based on the Gemora of כיון שלקה הרי הוא אחיך
Deleteמשנאיך ה׳ אשנא ובמתקוממך אתמוטט
DeleteEnglish translation please?
He says these outlandish stuff to keep the grift going, to keep his minions happy.
ReplyDeleteHe does not believe what he’s saying.
Just like those in Israel don’t believe that תורה - בין בעידנא דעסיק בה, ובין בעידנא דלא עסיק בה מגנא ומצלא because if they did, they would be going to the front lines to learn rather than running away from the front lines when there are missiles or rockets incoming.
Why should they learn at the front lines? Why not in Bney Berak?
DeleteWhere's the mixed concert today?
ReplyDeleteThere was a mixed purim party with mixed dancing too
Yeah, I also want to go
DeleteLakewood high school
DeleteThere's a halacha in shulchan aruch that those learning are exempt from going to war. The mfasrshim explain because they are fighting with their limud hatora. This is not a modern invention by a bunch of scared roshei yeshivas. If you choose not to believe then we have no point in having a conversation.
ReplyDeleteAbout as ridiculous as the conversation on TLS about the "regular" lakwood guy not wanting to wear a hat and jacket in kloizenburg shul.
1. I dont remember this din in shulchan aruch (it's a gemara regarding asa hamelech)
Delete2. Doesnt apply to milchemes mitzvah which clearly post October 7th was according to the rambam. (The ramban would apply it to any war to conquer eretz yisroel borders even bizman haze. )
3. Its talmiday chachamim not lomday torah, even using the most generous interpretation of talmid chacham rov lomday torah are not.
4. According to the shaylas uteshvos mahari veil (163) there were no talmidi chachmim for most dinim in his day, I dont think things got better in the past 600 years
Since October 7 until when is it a milchemes mitzvah? Which Rambam says that, after the enemy has been repulsed, it is still a milchemes mitzvah?
Delete1. See יורה דעה סי' רמג, ב
Delete2. The Rambam holds that any מלחמה needs a מלך, סנהדרין וכהן גדול.
(הקדמת ספר המצוות "וידוע שהמלחמות וכיבוש ארצות לא יהיה אלא במלך ובעצת
סנהדרי גדולה וכהן גדול")
And even when it's about protecting Eretz Yisroel from invaders, that was done with by Oct 9 2023, after that it was about destroying Hamas which everyone knew is a pipe dream
And according to the Ramban it's only if you are conquering land with the intention on holding onto it, that is definitely not what the recent Gaza war was about
3. An argument can be made that the Yeshivos and the Chareidi community in general that are producing Talmidei Chachomim and should not be called upon for defense.
See the beginning of איכה רבה where even תינוקות של בית רבן are a protection on the city
We're not even getting into the issue of the lack of frumkeit, kalus rosh and gilui arayos in today's IDF which practicly all Chareidi gedolim and poskim have said that it's אסור גמור to join, which would make all the above arguments irrelevant
According to the Mishne Berura Lomdei Torah have din of Talmidei Chachomim
DeleteObviously this has nothing to do with the topic
A mishmash of irrelevant and misunderstood mareh mekomos. Pathetic.
DeleteJb
Delete1. That din is not about war, but taxes, and labor for defense. War is a totally different halacha.
2. The rambam is clear that when attacked one doesn't need a sanhedrin see hilchos shabbos for starters.
3. Wars dont end when the enemy retreats to the border. Under you Yisroel is routing ashur in a war where ashur attacked ashur is chased across the border and you stop an convene the sanhedrin. You want to make such an outrageous claim I need a rishon at best.
4. The war in Gaza was the only way to make it safe to live near Gaza so even with your sevara in the ramban this would be a milchemes Mitzvah because it enables yeshiva in ey. (Not convinced the ramban argues with the rambam about tzar being a milchemes Mitzvah (haven't seen the ramban for a while)
4. Interesting argument that is clearly rejected by the same shulchan aruch you tried to quote
5. You ignored the mahri veil.
6. Then stop being migale panim bitorah. And say there is a chiyuv to fight but there is an over riding factor of shmad. I strongly doubt it is true as a klal. And charadim dont care about the torah life in the army otherwise they would have fought feminizing the army for the past 2 decades. If the army lead s to shmad it is a heter not to go to the army but the charadi politicians are chayav for allowing shmad in the army even not a single charadi goes to the army and never will go. Every single person who enablthose politicians are also responsible.
Anon 4:53
Delete1. The shulchan aruch is clear that Talmidei Chachamim are not obligated to contribute to defense, because they don't need it. Why should taxes be different than joining an army
2. The rambam is saying that you are permitted to be mechalel Shabbos, not that it becomes a milchemes mitzva
The rest is just a mishmash of shvache taanos
Keep in mind that it's about milchemes mitzva otherwise you can't obligate people to join the army
Taxes and war are completely different. For starters, one is an immediate acute danger and the other isn't.
DeleteAgav everyone knows the Radvaz says that it's a davar pashut that if the tc think they need defense then hodaas baal din and they have to contribute, even with regard to taxes. Are the chareidim willing to live outside the areas protected by the army? Obviously not so the whole thing isn't nogeah.
Milchemes mitzvah is about protecting klal yiarael from sakanah, obviously the existence of a long etc. isn't necessary for there to be a sakanah -on the contrary, there's more sakanah without them.
The aruch learns, which is the pashtus in the gemara, that we know Asa drafted the tc from the fact that he EVEN drafted the kallah mchupasah. Lfi zeh, the actual halachah of kallah mchupasah proves that of course tc have to join.
Ths rambam in hilchos melachim says there are 3 types of milchemes mitzvah. The 3rd category October 7th clearly falls under. I was just bringing ramham in shabbos to show that a sanhedrin is not necessary. This is pashut.
DeleteThe mahari veil is very clear that claims of being a talmid chacham are not to be taken seriously in most dinim. War is a mitzvah like the other responsder said. The pitur for taxes is clearly not relevant and the gemara is clear on this in sotah.
Where is the mixed concert I would like to go to gawk at all those silk cap long shaitels!!
