- Ttrump: As the President of the United States, I have been watching Data Centers very closely, and have come to a very strong conclusion. New and large, in some cases gigantic, Data enters are mandated by me to make their own electricity, and give or sell any excess back to the local community, or grid, and therefore there is electric price increase. In fact, there could be a substantial decrease. Other elements likewise! If companies want to make their Data Centers popular, pay the community, and/or individuals within the community, a “dividend.” I have watched the process closely, and Data Centers that were highly unpopular in a certain area, have become extremely popular when a financial deal is struck. MAKE DEALS, and get them built!!! GREAT FOR THE U.S.A. President DJT!

All owners of seminaries in Israel that are raising their tuition can GO TO HELL!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you cursing jews?? They have a business they owe you nothing you are a sheeple who feels the need to follow... And assume their lives will be better that way so you can pay the price.... Others live their life and don't go and don't pay and are happier for that
DeleteEzchange rate?
Delete95% of the seminary expenses are in ILS, and tuition is in USD. So when there's been a 24% fluctuation in the exchange rate (3.72 to 2.8) in the past two years, then there will be a increase
DeleteKol hakavod for the seminaries for not raising it 24%, rather doing a much more moderate increase
WOW big moifes, two brother in laws decided to talk to each other after many years. No wonder so many Chassidim today are embarrassed from their Rebbes!
ReplyDeletecurious -- do the sisters / sisters-in-law talk to each other? (cousins?)
DeleteWhat an embarassment that it's news worthy that they spoke to each other!
DeleteFind me one group of satmar or vizhnitz chassidim that are embarrassed of their rebbe
DeleteSeminarian in Israel should be banned. The principals in America and worldwide should say we are not sending if the prices aren't lowered forget about a raise!!!! Someone should make a incentive for anyone that doesn't go to sem in Israel. Let's also make seminary in America cheaper. It's not so much less costly to stay in America overdoing to Israel.
ReplyDeletePrincipals and parents need to refuse to send to sems in Israel unless prices are lowered significantly. This isn't acceptable. Prices in America need to be lowered as well. Let someone offer an incentive time for girls to stay home and not go to Israel
ReplyDeleteInstead of raising prices, maybe they should require the student to pay a few thousand dollars when she gets engaged? That way, she ends up paying a success fee.
DeleteAguda and Satmar are not representative of the mainstream yiddin, how despicable to endorse Hochul after everything she's done to our communities and to president Trump.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame,and don't say that it is a private endorsement, he is the head and face of Agudah!!
Disgusting.
I may understand why president Trump would be upset at this endorsement. But how does that concern you so much? Why do you care so much about Trump's feelings? Does he care that much about yours?
DeleteI think it is self-evident that Blakeman would not be as good for the NY community as Hochul can be.
Self-evident?? Explain if you can
Deletethank you Aguda askanim for following daas Torah moetzes and endorsing Hochul
ReplyDeleteI would like to add to the simcha by publicizing that I have spoken with each of my siblings and brothers-in-law in the past few months.
ReplyDeleteBH! That is so good to hear. May it only continue!
DeleteMy Daas Torah:
ReplyDeleteThe Rebbes who don't get along with their siblings are not Reshaim. They are normal people. Most normal people will fight with their siblings at least once or twice in their lifetimes, especially when large sums of money are involved.
But the Rebbes who don't get along with their siblings are clearly not exceptional Tzadikim. A Tzadik doesn't fight with his siblings, or with anyone else for that matter, especially over money.
To summarize. They are not Tzadikim, but they are also not Reshaim.
It is possible that now they became Tzadikim and overcame their huge Yetzer Hara in order to make peace. In this case, it would definitely be very newsworthy that a Yid did Tshuva and became a Tzadik.
May we all do Tshuva and become Tzadikim. Amen.
Rashi asked last week why the dor hamabul was destroyed but the dor haflaga, which rebelled against Hashem,was not.
DeleteHe answers, in the name of Chazal, that the dor hamabul had machlokes and friction, but the dor haflaga was b'ahava , achva v' sahalom.
To teach you how great shalom is and how hated machlokes is.
No wiggle room here. Time for the Satmar Rebbi to take a break from the evils of Zionism and the importance of thick stokings and put an end to mackhlokes!
Btw, noach was a big tzaddik, from his keppala....and no, he didn't make machlokes, even "lsheim shamayim". We should all learn from his example
DeleteMy Daas Baalei Batim: As the Gemara (Menachos 109b) says:
Deleteאמר רבי יהושע בן פרחיה בתחילה כל האומר עלה לה אני כופתו ונותנו לפני הארי עתה כל האומר לי לירד ממנה אני מטיל עליו קומקום של חמין שהרי שאול ברח ממנה וכשעלה ביקש להרוג את דוד
What Rav Yehoshua ben Perachya is saying about himself and Shaul HaMelech applies to most of these kinds of fights. It's easy for someone on the outside to say, "If I (or he) were in his position, we would act differently." But as the Gemara is saying , once someone actually is in that position , giving it up can become extraordinarily difficult, therefore, such behavior may reflect far less negatively on a person's character than you would assume.
5:05 In the case of Shaul HaMelech (1)Doeg Hadomi had (falsely) told him that Dovid was looking to harm him personally. More importantly (2) The Posuk says that Hashem sent him a Ruach Ra ויהי ממחרת ותצלח רוח אלקים רעה אל שאול. Rashi and the Radak both say it caused him to lose his rational thought. So the common argument "look at Shaul and Dovid" in relation to these type of arguments isn't really correct.
Delete505,
DeleteWhen that is just one strand of behavior, amongst many notable strands, nu nu.
When it's a basic part of identity and of those who surround you - your Source is moot
Something im not understadning.. A cterer fails to show up an hour before shabbos? What was the real story?? Did the ball simcha not realize like at 2:00 where is the caterer? Was there a caterer? This is a story with many questions.
ReplyDeleteWas the baalas simcha in touch with the caterer all week? Did he ask for a head count? Menu?
ReplyDeleteGreat news to hear that the Rebbes of tens of thousands of chassidim even though they are not Tzadikim, they also are not Reshayim gemurim! Lol
ReplyDeleteFor this one aspect only. Don't get too carried away.
DeleteThere is an emergency on an elal flight right now. Daven!
ReplyDeleteHuge kinnas in boyan kloiz on malchei Yisroel.
