George Santos is *** NOT *** Jew”ish” and *** NOT *** a Jew!

Chareidim often attack the Jewish soldiers who protect them.

Even Jewish soldiers who are Chareidi — are attacked by Chareidim.

Since Chareidim ATTACK soldiers who protect them from Arabs, I do NOT feel sorry for Chareidim when Chareidim get attacked by Arabs.

According to my understanding, the Spanish Inquisition happened because wealthy Jews displayed their wealth a fancy possessions before the eyes of the Gentiles:

{1} Shevet Mussar, Chapter 17, paragraph 15:
Those who rise up against us seek false accusations against us when they see Jewish women decorated with gold and silver.

{2} Kav HaYashar, Chapter 18:
“Because of our many sins, the Gentiles have their eyes on Jewish wealth.
It is a very good idea to conceal your wealth from them.”

{3} Kav HaYashar, Chapter 82:
Imitating the fashions of the Gentiles… they provoke the jealousy and hatred of the Gentiles. They look at us and notice that Jewish women appear better dressed than the Gentile noble women; and we are in bitter exile, where according to justice we should be wearing black clothes to mourn the length of our exile and the destruction of the Temple.

{4} “Because flashy clothes and jewels draw so much attention to themselves, they may also draw the ire of your clients who may secretly question why your clothes are so much more costly than their own. Wearing flashy outfits is particularly dicey during a recession or during a down business cycle when company layoffs abound.”

The Metsudath David commentary on Tehillim, chapter 69, verse 5, seems to imply that Sinat Chinam is hating a person who never harmed you.

Netziv’s introduction to his commentary on Bereishit [HaEmek Davar] teaches that sinat chinam is hating someone because he belongs to a different group or because he has a different point of view or because he does things differently or a different custom.

For 20 years, I fought against “Jews For J____” (with haskamahs from prominent Orthodox Rabbis) and lots of mesiras nefesh.

The differences between Chabad / Lubavich and “Jews For J____” are much smaller than most people realize, and the number of similarities between Chabad / Lubavich and “Jews For J____” are much more than most people realize.

N0mesorah: I do not understand your question.

Are you asking how old I am?

I know a Baal Teshuvah who took two years away from work to study in yeshivah.
He paid full-tuition, using his money ONLY.

So his total expenses were: two years of full-tuition PLUS the amount of money he lost by not working for two years.

If an FFB did something like this, he would be respected as a tzadik.

But since this person was only a lowly Baal Teshuvah , he gets no credit at all.

On the Jewish calendar, EVERY DAY is filled with countless tragedies, from the first day or the year, to the last day of the year, and 100% of the days in between.

This entire discussion is pointless, and should be deleted.

President Donald Trump cut-off the money supply to the so-called “Palestinians” (actually, they should be known as The Phoney-stinians). Because of their reduced money supply, The Phoney-stinians were unable to pay terrorists to murder innocent Jews, which resulted in a large decrease in the number of Jews murdered by Phoney-stinian terrorists.

When Joe Biden became President, he restored hundreds-of-millions of dollars in payments to The Phoney-stinians. As a result, Phoney-stinian leaders are again able to pay terrorists to murder innocent Jews, which resulted in a large increase in the number of Jews murdered by Phoney-stinian terrorists.

Who should Jews vote for: The Democrats, who intentionally pay for Phoney-stinian terrorists to murder Jews (even though this violates American law), or Donald Trump, who stopped payments to The Phoney-stinians, so they could not afford their “Pay-for-Slay” policy, which literally saved Jewish lives?

So long as the Democrats remain in power, YOUR TAX DOLLARS will be used to pay Phoney-stinian terrorists to murder Jews!! Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!

If you are a True Democrat, then you will completely ignore and completely forget everything that I just said, because the Democrats use the Mainstream News Media and educational institutions and Hollywood, to exert a powerful form of Mind Control on millions of people.

This Mind Control shuts-down your ability to think logically, and forces you to always vote for The Democrats 100% of the time, even when doing so is completely contrary to basic logic.

If I wanted to, I could easily give many good reasons to vote for Donald Trump instead of the Democrats — but would be a total waste of time, because no amount of facts or logic can break the powerful Mind Control that Democrats use to brainwash people.

125 st said:

“Nach should be taken out. It’s not Torah.”

MY RESPONSE:

What “125 st” said above is one of the most ignorant statements that I saw in my entire life.

For your information, any Jew who says that ONE WORD of Nach is NOT from HASHEM, that person is an Apikuris Gamur, and he or she is guaranteed to be eternally-banned from Gan Eden, no matter how many good deeds he or she did in his lifetime.

If Sefer Mishlei is not Torah, then why did: Rashi, Vilna Gaon, Malbim, Metsudath David, Ibn Ezra, Ralbag, Rabbeinu Yonah all write commentaries [peirushim] on Sefer Mishlei?

Everything that I just said about Sefer Mishlei is true for all of Nach.

================================
Midrash Tanchuma, Parshat Re-eh, chapter 1:

“The wicked rebels of the Jewish People do not believe in the Neviim (Prophets) or the Cetubim (Divinely Inspired Writings).”

================================
Midrash Rabah, Seder Tisa, Parshah 41, Paragraph 5:

Rabbi Levi taught in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish:
Just as a bride wears 24 different decorations,
a Torah Scholar must be diligent in all 24 books of Tanach.

================================
Midrash Rabah, Seder Bamidbar, Parshah 2, Paragraph 10:

Through the study of Torah, Neviim and Cetubim,
the Holy One Blessed Be He atones for him…

================================
Midrash Rabah, Kohelet, chapter 1, paragraph 34:

The Neviim and Cetubim [Nach] were given
so we should labor in them, and do mitzvot
and good deeds and receive reward.

================================
Rashi commentary on Exodus/Shemot,
Parsha Tisa, chapter 31, verse 18:

…A Torah scholar needs to be expert
in 24 books [of Tanach, which has 24 books].

Right now [May 2023 CE] Lubavitch has hundreds of posters in Brooklyn, placed where they can be seen by millions of people, most of whom are not Jewish.

These posters strongly suggest that Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson [the last Rebbe of Lubavitch] is alive right now, and that he is the Melech HaMashiach, right now.
This is very wrong, for many reasons.

No matter how many things Lubavitch does wrong, they always have thousands of useful idiots who rush to defend them and justify the things they do wrong.

I wish that I also had thousands of useful idiots, who would rush to defend me, and justify me, no matter what I do wrong.

In March 2002, the Moetzes Gedolai Torah issued a public statement, which decreed that the Vort ceremony be COMPLETELY ELIMINATED, to reduce the cost of getting married.

That decree was published in Jewish Observer magazine, which was the official magazine of the Agudath Israel organization (at that time).

That decree was completely ignored, even by the most “Frum” Jews, and even by people who claimed total loyalty to “Daas Torah”.

Soon after, the decree was completely forgotten by almost-everybody [except me, because my special midah is that I remember things that other people forget.
Many people, both Jews and non-Jews, told me that I have a “photographic memory”].

PS: We “Frum” Jews spend too much on liquor.

You might want to include a few whole eggs in the chulent, some people like that.

To reduce excess gas: pre-soak the beans in water for 24 hours, then drain-out the water, then add new water, and then pre-soak the beans in water for another 24 hours.

I did this, and it removed the excess gas from the beans.

Is that is not possible, then use fewer beans.

The word “Gaon” is certainly over-used as a title for Rabbis.

When the word “Gaon” is over-used as a title for Rabbis, then those Rabbis who are not referred to as “gaon” are being indirectly demoted.

If my memory is correct, the Steipler Rav requested that he NOT be referred to as “the Steipler Gaon”.

If my memory is correct, the practice of over-using “gaon” as a title for Rabbis started with Chareidim, and only Chareidi rabbis are referred to as “gaon”.

YU / Modern Orthodox Rabbis are never referred to as “gaon”, no matter how much they know.

Donald Trump freed Jonathan Pollard –- something other presidents did not do.

Donald Trump was the ONLY President to have two Orthodox Jews as close advisors.

Donald Trump cut-off funding to terrorists, resulting in a big decrease in terrorist attacks.

Donald Trump showed that Jerusalem is Jewish, by moving the USA Embassy to Jerusalem.
(Something many other presidents promised, but never did.)

And lots of other things that we must be grateful for.

When you rejoice over the downfall of Donald Trump,
you are rejoicing over the downfall of the most
pro-Jewish and pro-Israel president of all time.

That makes you a wicked fool.
The G*D-of-Israel HATES ungrateful people.

Our obligation as Jews is to give gratitude to those who helped us,
not to judge them for their flaws,
and certainly not to rejoicing over their downfall.

Those who rejoice over the downfall of those who helped us
(like Donald Trump) they make Chillul HaShem,
because people will say:
“LOOK AT THOSE UNGRATEFUL JEWS!!”

PS: Under Donald Trump, inflation was under-control.
Under President Joe Biden, inflation is out-of-control.

In our times, the Mainstream News Media relentlessly attacks: the State of Israel and also Orthodox Jews and Orthodox Judaism.

If the Beth HaMikdash were fully-functional today, then the Mainstream News Media would attack it relentlessly. There would be many attack-articles (also known as Hit-Pieces) about cruel Jews slaughtering innocent animals.

There would also be massive protests against the Beth HaMikdash in all major cities.

The United Nations Organization (UN) would repeatedly condemn the Beth HaMikdash for slaughtering innocent animals, and also for excluding non-Jews from the Temple, and also for excluding non-Kohanim and women from the Avodah.

Many organizations around the world would boycott any business that sells things to the Beth HaMikdash, and also boycott any person who works the Beth HaMikdash.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) would issue arrest warrants against the people who work in the Beth HaMikdash for slaughtering innocent animals, and any other accusation they could think of.

The attack-articles, and the protests, and the condemnations, and the boycotts would be 365 days a year, and endless.

The countless enemies of the Beth HaMikdash would never get tired of attacking the Beth HaMikdash: they would attack the Beth HaMikdash again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again, forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever….

“Rav Soloveitchick actually preferred the use of machine-baked matzot-shemurot to the traditional hand-baked version.

The risk of hand-baked matzot becoming chametz has not changed fundamentally in the past 3,000 years.

However, technological progress has resulted in a baking process that leaves almost no possibility of machine-made matzot becoming chametz.”

In year 2008, The Jerusalem Post published an article by Chananya Weissman, in which he suggested that:

If Jewish singles are expected to make Shidduch Resumes that they give to shadchanim, then shadchanim should make Shadchan resumes, that they give to Jewish singles.

In year 2007, The Jewish Press published an article by Chananya Weissman, where he said:

“Strange as this may sound, the occasional success makes it easy for shadchanim with haphazard methods to pass themselves off as competent, for singles to continue putting their fragile hope and energy into something that depletes them of hope and energy, and for our inertia-laden society to delude itself into believing the system is working pretty well. (After all, it worked for so-and-so.) As a result, change continues to be slow and tentative while the ranks of suffering singles continue to grow.”

In year 2020, Emes Ve-Emunah published an article by Chananya Weissman, in which he criticized shadchanim for abandoning older singles and the poor.
In that article, he also criticized shadchanim for not knowing the people they match, and for not trying hard enough.

In year 2023, Chananya Weissman published an article on his web site, in which he pointed-out that shadchanim are one of the few professions that have no way of removing people who do not belong there.

In the same article, he also pointed-out that we sometimes reward failure by giving more money to shadchanim who do not succeed in getting Jews married; in any normal profession, people who do not succeed would be fired from their jobs, and thereby removed from a profession where they do not belong.

In year 2023, Chananya Weissman published an article on his web site titled:
“What Makes Someone a Good Shadchan?” Three quick quotes from that article:

[1] “It is not the place of a shadchan to admonish people to settle for something that they don’t want. There is a fine line between offering advice and trying to control people, and many shadchanim trample over that line like they own the place.”

[2] “A good shadchan offers encouragement. A bad shadchan offers despair.”

[3] “It’s common for a shadchan to place someone on the front burner when they first meet them, make a haphazard attempt or two to fix them up, and then give up on them when it doesn’t work out. They admonish singles to never give up, yet they give up if they don’t get satisfying results from their initial attempt.”
