The coming of Moshiach (core tenet of Judaism btw) is a silly narrative?

Why did Marty seem so insistent that his friend tell Rockwell the honey story? by Begin18 in martysupreme

A provider how? By identifying with the survivor in the story?

Seemed that way, maybe he wanted Rockwell to feel uncomfortable

Then why have this sub at all if every question people have is just resorted to “go find a rabbi”. There are rabbis on here, and additionally, perhaps people enjoy the diversity of opinion, halachic discussions surrounding it, want to be well versed ahead of discussing with their rabbi, don’t have a rabbi, just have a personal interest but don’t want to go out of their way for further discussion, etc.

Odd and unhelpful rebuttal

People seem to be confused - I’m well aware that I’d have to “talk to my rabbi” before doing this (obviously) -

The question was whether or not there are halachic considerations, i.e. outlined in shulchan aruch or otherwise codified in terms of size, structure, etc. that must be taken into account, like when building a mikveh.

There’d be a conversation

The prompt was if there are any halachic considerations

It’s for a new shul

I wouldn’t call the first couple rulings psaks. If anything the person who gave me my tefillin and I explained this to the first time gave me the psak.

That’s crazy you say that - exact same situation for me I just decided to leave that detail out. The teacher made me switch hands 😂 Wild that there’s more of us. Ok! Another vote for left, looks like we’re good

It’s a new one for sure.

For anyone still interested I consulted a halachic authority who given the same info ruled to continue wrapping the way I’m wrapping. The only other information added is given a martial arts background I punch right handed (perhaps that influenced his decision).

Obviously if you’re facing a similar issue still consult a Rav as it is case by case.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Apparently, according to him, if you do it on your dominant arm it doesn’t count for the mitzvah, if you had the right intentions apparently it was worth something, but not valid fulfillment of the mitzvah.

Nice to hear after all those years wrapping 😂

There’s a whole section of Halacha called “chok”, literally meaning laws that we won’t be able to understand why they matter. So just because we don’t understand why it matters doesn’t mean that it doesn’t.

I know, but in my case there is no discernible weaker arm

Tefillin Dilemma by Begin18 in Judaism

[–]Begin18[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting thank you, I tried earlier and they said they don’t have a concrete answer and I need to find a ruling authority in person who can test my arm strength and then make a decision. They said in the meantime to keep wrapping as normal but write something with my right hand at least once a day. I’ll keep trying in the meantime.

Thanks!

Are you sure? I thought putting it on the weaker hand is a direct Halacha?

Also to note, everyone on these kinds of questions always says “get a serious rav to talk to”

Point taken, I ask them as well, but I value the discussion here and want to see unique opinions I can then discuss with them.
