And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.”

- Some frum media podcasters are urging the community to monitor tzedakah organizations, setting up anonymous tip lines and teams of attorneys to review financials all in the name of transparency. Critics charge that they do so without disclosing whether they themselves are paid, or by whom, highlighting a striking hypocrisy in calling for openness from others while keeping their own advertising funding hidden
- Aish.com: Just days after being trapped for over an hour beneath a collapsed snow igloo during a fierce blizzard, buried under heavy snow pushed by a plow in Lakewood, NJ, a young boy emerged unscathed, thanks to the quick response of first responders and what his family calls open miracles. Thankfully, he was pulled out conscious and without injury. And now, in an outpouring of thanksgiving, he celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with pure joy. The highlight? The entire community joined in singing and dancing, reciting a psalm of gratitude traditionally recited on joyous occasions. From the depths of a snowy grave to the heights of his coming-of-age milestone, this boy’s story reminds us: God's kindness turns darkness into light, and every breath is a reason to sing.
since Daas Torah supports Schnall in this role, we must all be mevater to him and his leadership, one cannot question Daas Torah.
ReplyDeleteOne Daas Torah said that one who doesn't vote for the candidate supported by the Rabbonim
DeleteAre "Kofer in the Ribbono Shel Olam"
That was totally absurd!
One anonymous rabble-rouser misquoted a rabbi about someone who doesn't vote for a specific candidate.
DeleteThis is totally absurd!
how was he misquoted?
DeleteWOW $2295 is a bloody fortune. the actual flights + bus if you did this yourself TODAY would come out to approximately $1200.
ReplyDeleteBut what about giyus habanos?
ReplyDeleteThe LDC was commissioned to help all Lakewood businesses why are they spending nearly 300k for signage for cedar ridge development which is a private entity? Cedar bridge development does not pay taxes gets free land tax abatements And now free signage?
ReplyDeleteWhy does it bother you if someone makes money?
DeleteIt is nice that lalechet is arranging flights and bussing but if you are a little capable you can get to cairo from sharm el sheik and fly direct to newark of jfk for more than half of what lalechet is charging.
ReplyDeletePlease be careful in any travel among the Bnei Yishmael.
DeleteArkia is charging the same.
DeleteReality check. The radziner techeles is hardly authentic. Hertzog on the other hand has a far better candidate. Kabel es haemes mmi sheamro. No one is comparing the two as far as scholarship or yiraas shamyim.
ReplyDeleteLalechet- tcheiles iceberg-goldberg
DeleteHe was moser nefesh for to save Jews especially children after churban he had kollel fir yungeliet supported those who became gedolim was close with gedolim r Aron flew in for Levaya at heichal Shlomo and was maspid Theres video clip of bugy by r Chaim telling him how great he was used to visit lomza pt and shud have long beard like him maybe that’s why he’s not fully shaven
ReplyDeleteRav Aharon spoke in Heichal Shlomo contrary to the Brisker Rav's ban.
DeleteTrue fact check. Rabbi Dr Isaac Herzog attempted to shmear the true techeles of Radzyn in order to promote his failed jhonthene snail ( which has a blue shell ) as he knew the murex snail is grey and no way Doma layam , and also is known throughout history to dye purple not blue. After failing to produce blue dye from the jhonthene he eventually put on Radzn techelles.
ReplyDeleteThe radziner techeles only became blue by adding copper. He was a heiligeh yid but it was not the right one
ReplyDeleteU have no clue what u r talking about. U r advertising your ignorance on the subject. No copper, iron. Indeed the black blood of the chilazon requieres different samamanim to bring out blue from the black
ReplyDeleteSheifeleh Read up on the subject... The color is meant to come from chilazon whatever you add is not supposed to provide the color. And every die there are chemicals added for steadfastness etc. In this case the Cuprous oxide provided the color. He did not decide on which chemicals to add rather he gave this over to chemists who made their own decisions.
ReplyDeleteTo read up on the subject, time to stop drinking the Kool-Aid from the hoax murex ptil group
ReplyDeleteIrregardless of the murex theory the radziner theory has very little going for it..... Cuprous oxide is definitely not techeiles.
ReplyDeleteThe murex BS decided that the samamanim were used to make the dye stick. It was needed to change the black like ink chilazon blood ( Rambam) to blue
ReplyDeleteBeing that the Radzyn techeles is derived from Chazal, I wouldn't exactly say it has ever little going for it, unless your idea of going for it is Fake PR, zilzul Chazal, Sheker, krumeh toras YU, etc etc
