The hidden wisdom of graphology

  1. New security situation on Simchas T.
    How silly of me assuming we might actually learn from where the chassidim and more recently charedi Israel has gone, & going still,so badly wrong. Show of power must be too seductive.

  2. Endeavor bringing Moshiach:
    How could he explain his own (father)'s RY of Chaim B exclaimed emphatically: Moshiach kumpt nit.Mir darf areinbrengen!!

    p.s.& he definitely wasn't referring RGR 's examples!

  3. So does he want to stay in golus forever? His methods haven't exactly worked. In every generation. And they wanted to get out So why more mourn being in Golus?

    1. If he doesn't want galut, he has to go out and demonstratziah. Obviously doesn't want that.

    2. So Moshiach's lack of arrival until now shows that we have been doing something wrong.
      Is that what you are claiming?
      Because that is the christian historical claim against us too.
      And we know the answer.

  4. The RY who declares himself, has to run it by me first. Since I happen to be Eliyahu hanavi

  5. Its says in mitzrasyim the geulah came in the merit of gemilus chasodim & the same will happen in our geulah. I guess he missed it. Also there is no hating of another jew no matter which chasidus. Yitamu chatoim veloi choitim. Another point: Many Tzadikim & Rabonim until this very day are mesader kidushin for those who probably won't keep Taharah. They are makpid that she is not a nidah beshaas kiduhin. If there is fear of dimua bein haakum,which could be stoped by finding them a shiduch , it has always been done. Very likely they will reattach with their families & return to the fold. You are causing more aveiros by them not being married to yidden.
    In Europe if a girl married out her children were concidered goyim lechumrah. See kitzur shulchan aruch hilchos pesach where he explainf for selling chometz to those children they are to be considered like yidden, which means everything else not. We never see that the children of nidos, which did exsist in Europe even by some who kept Shabboss were considered Goyim. IMHO he is wrong you are saving them from worse aveiros & getting comletely lost.
    These 3 clips from this internet Rabbi are tzorich iyun, if someone who knows him could make him aware of my comments please maybe he answered in haste he will reconsider. Thank you.

    1. Silly statement"Also there is no hating of another jew" there's nothing personal and not relevant. Rather Tehillim 139:21

    2. "there is fear of dimua bein haakum,which could be stoped by finding them a shiduch , it has always been done."
      Both you and RGR are making points in a vacuum.
      What is the situation? To proffer a non-observing shidduch, just because?
      Rabbis have found excuses to legitimize & expand essentially limited exigencies, but that still wouldn't render them correct

  6. if your RY says he is Moshiach and he wasn't joking, there is a good chance there is some sort of mental illness there. it is a common symptom of mental illness to think one is Moshiach.

    1. I asked my brother who is a noted social worker in Monsey/New square area around a decade ago how many people who he has worked with who believe they were Moshiach
      His response: 4
      A few years later I asked him again.
      His response: a couple more since then

  7. I was positive that the claims that Rav Shach had davened for the Lubavitcher Rebbe after his stroke couldn't possibly be true—until I saw R’ Shlomo Lorincz recount the incident in his biography. He quoted Rav Shach as saying, “I only fight against ideas; I never fight against people,” and emphasized that this attitude was 100% consistent with everything he had personally experienced in his many years of dealing with Rav Shach.

    1. And no way contradictory to what RGR said

    2. Every single shabbos (and possibly Monday and Thursday too) rav shach would walk over to the bima and give the name menecham mendel Ben chana by the misheberach for cholim. Rmm"s was nifter on motzeh shabbos, that shabbos Rav shach was not feeling well and wasn't by davening.

  8. Sheker chazav I was there that's not what happened he didn't even have strength to walk by himself what a farce...... and anyway rav shach agreed that he was moshiach so so why in the world would he pray for his health
