We owe so much hakoras hatov to President Trump for doing all that he has been doing protecting Israel and us the Jews. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're right.
DeleteWe won't care at all about the stupidities like renaming lakes and seas, tariffs that help nobody, or obnoxious fights with countries that leaves them less likely to help when we need them.
He is mamish a tzadik/
His support for the Zionist State is NOT making Jews safe at all. Farkeht, his support is only causing rising Jew hatred and making it unsafe for Jews globally.
DeleteDont let perfect be the enemy of the good.
DeleteSo Biden who held back ammunition and hancufffed the army was protecting israel and jews? Trump released the hostages Bh. Hkbh should protect President Trump.
Delete2:08 According to Mesoras Moshe (whose author was there at the time) Back in 1982 during the Lebanon War when the Neturei Karta put out ads in the New York Times opposing the US giving ammunition to Israel tey were using your argument . lRav Moshe Feinstein then said about the Neturie Karta that they aren't misguided kanoim, they are purely rashyim motivated by rishus alone. Enough said.
DeleteYou are misquoting Reb Moshe, missing half the quote.
DeleteBut even according to your story, it has nothing to do with the differences between incompetence and a different opinion. You can disagree with Biden; Trump is just dangerously incompetent.
5:10
DeleteTheir own family don't take MM very seriously.Tendler has a political ax to grind
Masores Moshe has pretty solid haskamas. Blaming Tendler was always an excuse the kanoim used. Even the fact that Rav Moshe had Begin over in his house (with Rav Yaakov and Rav Hutner in the picture ) was blamed on Tendler by the kanoim who weren't bad enough to speak against Rav Moshe directly for doing so.
DeleteWhat is the full Rav Moshe quote? What am I missing? I actually do remember more. While he was willing to meet with people like Menachem Begin, he refused to meet with the Neturei Karta members because they are just resayim motivated by rishus so no meeting would with them would be productive. What else did Rav Moshe say about them? Do you mean the next paragraph where he said that referring to Zionism as Avodah Zora is Ziyuf HaTorah because there is no way based on Hilchos Avoda Zora you would come to that conclusion? Do you mean that he said that those who don't daven for Israeli soldiers are wrong for not acting like Elisha Hanavi who davened and did even Nissim for Achav when he was is military danger, even though Achaz was a lot bigger rasha than the Zionists? What else am I missing?
Delete(continued)
DeleteR Moskowitz meant well, it depends from who he got the responsa from
The NK at the time went to Lebanon and actively supported the Arab side of the war.
DeleteIt wasn't just 'don't send weapons to Israel'.
He also said that NK wouldn't listen, so they shouldn't speak to them.
11:14 You seem to be confusing Achav with his son Yehoram who Elisha davened on behalf of.
Delete1:07
DeleteBe very specific.
You mean the American NK?
M Hirsch and his small crowd??
You mean wildest Satmar noisy floaters?
Is your ultimate agenda to turn"kanoim" to become almost meaningless?
It is now a term here used by some liberal-lites over a wide spectrum for any perspective they have too much difficulty to stomach
7:05 I'm not going to be very specific when referring to other Yidden as Rashayim motived by rishus alone. But those act similar to the example of the NK and that NYT ad mentioned deserve that description. Keep away from them! Personal question: When you read accusations about the "Zionists" do you also demand an exact specific definition of who the "Zionists" are and assume some agenda in anyone using the term as a general one?
DeleteDepends.Sometimes yes.
Delete1:14
DeleteStop regurgitating your Achav excuse.
His original Kingdom was ordained and legitimate-even if he became evil.
That excuse can't fly today
cf Radak Divrei Hayamim
The kingdom of Achav was ordained and legitimate? Which of the kings who came before him through the means of assassination was ordained? Achav was a legitimate king? So you argue with the teretz in Tosfos that says he wasn't because it he would have been then he would have been right in the story of Navos since Navos would have been a mored b'malchus by refusing to sell the vineyard to him. (But I'm the one with the messed up haskafas...)That aside the same Navi who gave the ten shevatim their legitimacy also later said that they will be destroyed because of their averos. So being ordained and legitimate means nothing in this context.
Delete4:41 PM Tosfos in Sanhedrin 20B says דפרשת המלך לא נאמרה רק על המלך שנמלך על כל ישראל ויהודה ומאת המקום, ואחאב לא מלך על יהודה וגם לא מלך מאת המקום While there are other terutzim in Tosfos, Tosfos very clearly says as a general statement that Achav was not a legitimate king in the eyes of Hashem.
DeleteThe kingdom's foundation was legitimate.
DeleteIf Achav as legit monarch has a right to force Navos,any king can force anything.Dovid was fully acceptable then getting rid of Uriah & take his wife!
Dictatorship
4:31 Um ... There are halachos about when a king can and can't demand property. If you don't know or understand them (you clearly don't!) don't make assumptions . By your logic since the US government has the right of eminent domain it should also be able to break up any marriage or do whatever it wants too.
DeleteGo ahead.Explain the difference.
DeleteEspecially if Dovid per Chazal had from a higher sense that Bas Sheva was preordained for him.
"Eminent domain" isn't applicable at all.
& BTW constantly we are told in nach that we deserve to be punished for not learning from lessons of the past.
Between 2 1/2and 3 millennia gone by and we're still following the same bad force of authority?!
So therefore even if the present reality is more or less similar to back then (somethings better something s worse) give or take as you wish to claim - we're going to be meted punishment much worse off !
NB 6:02 I’d be glad to answer any actual question and clarify any real points, but I’m not sure how to respond to consistent incorrect assumptions presented as them.
Deleteend Devorim 29:18 this very week.
Deletecompounding on travesties of the past
In elementary child idiom: fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me
NB You've reached the point that I have no idea what you even trying to say. I suspect you don't either. It certainly won't hold up to scrutiny.
DeleteYou don't need to come on to a Tosfos in Sanhedrin to show that NB is wrong. It is a machlokes Rambam and Raavad if had Yeravem Ben Nevat been a tzadik would his children would have inherited the melucha or not but they both agree that the way things were they did not. Let alone Achav who wasn't even a descendant and wouldn't have even been a hava amina.
Delete11:02
Deletesplitting irrelevant hairs ad nauseam.How enjoyable.
a.Was or wasn't the inherent foundation of the 10 shevatim monarchy legitimate?
b.Was the monarchy of Hordus &/or Yannai also by contrast inherently legitimate?
c.Can legitimacy furthermore be forced by simple majority of non-practicing Jews,
1)just because they happen to be in the land of Israel
2)control big influential organizations; 3)choose to organize an autonomous region elsewhere on the planet?
d. Wasn't the answer taken by our nation as patently obvious earlier before so many badly biased journals in the 20th century otherwise pontificated?
NB. I have no idea what you are asking me and why. You stated about Achav "His original Kingdom was ordained and legitimate-even if he became evil." That isn't true. There was no navi who appointed him king with the shemen hamischa as is required for any king who is not from Malchus Beis Dovid. Your questions do not seem to be coming from learning the sugya. If this helps you understand the halachos the Radvaz says that Yeravam and Yahu were both legitimate kings despite being of the ten shevatim because they were appointed by a Navi. No other king of their seems to have been. Let me know if you have a kashe on the actual sugya
DeleteSimplify it,dear Nb.
DeleteHow [un]likely would it have been to assume for Eliyahu lifting his robes and run in front of Hordus;the King of the Khazars;or Saul Wohl??
Very likely. Kovod Malchus has nothing to do with the person who is king being recognized by halacha as a member of malchus beis dovid or having been appointed by a novi. If it did then that story would not be mentioned by later poskim in relation to the non-Jewish rulers of the countries they were in. But they do.
DeleteCorrect.Eliyahu would only give such honor to a real melech with legitimacy
Delete7:48am,
DeleteWrong.
a.Chazal didn't do it for Hordus. This certainly was their general attitude towards him throughout.
b.We have no record of any such obligation as obligation for later non-jewish Kings. Even with the respect and veneration properly afforded to them.
c.How about High commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel, or PM Leon Blum?
Lakewood fire department got a new truck with a 75ft ladder at cost of $1.8 million. The was purchased because the fire department didn't have apparatus to fight fires at the new high-rise buildings planned on airport rd.

DeleteWho's moving into eagle ridge
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Eagle Ridge development:
ReplyDeleteAs I have been saying, while road closures and construction were happening all over town, much of it was apparently being done to prepare for these upcoming disastrous developments, paid for by us and absorbed by our already overburdened roads.
A 512 home development on the former golf course property will enrich a handful of machers by building more overpriced housing for out of towners, while our own yungeleit are pushed farther and farther away because they can no longer afford to live here.
Now, the developers are appearing before the Planning Board seeking approval to subdivide part of the property into 129 lots. They continue to play games with us while the rest of Lakewood suffers from more traffic, overcrowding and a declining quality of life.
Where are all the people who told us that voting for these officials was a mitzvah d’oraisa?
How many countless hours of sitting on central Ave traffic was because of this
DeleteWho is taking achrayus for what lakewood residents were inconvenienced over the last 5 years
If you think that traffic was bad wait to see when this development is actually built and has thousand cars. We are doomed!!
DeleteDoomed...
DeleteWho is this really benefiting?
ReplyDeleteThe yungeleit don’t live in Lakewood anymore, and families under 40 are mostly not buying homes in lkwd. So who exactly is all this new development for?
Why should current Lakewood residents have to deal with more traffic, overcrowded infrastructure, and increased property taxes just so a small number of wealthy developers and investors can get richer?
What is the actual benefit to the people who already live in Lakewood?
Well you guys voted for it, so clearly you want it.
DeleteBibi will go down in history as one of the greatest world leaders ever (probably even greater than Trump). And the anti-Bibi crowd - from the avid leftist Torah haters in Israel to the avid leftist Jew haters (NK) here on Hefkervelt - are going out of their minds.
