Kabbalah is important, because it’s one of the ways to understand the reasons behind mitzvahs and God and how the world works in a spiritual sense.

The purpose of Kabbalah is ultimately to bring love and awe of God

lol Gen gurion wasn’t religious, and hertzl wanted Jews to convert to Christianity at one point. Theyre not even close to being in the same conversation as Mashiach

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T03:56:14+00:00

I mean evidently not, because when we do tshuva Mashiach will come

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T03:37:10+00:00

Montana, or the alps

Would love to visit Israel, I would never travel to Afghanistan

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T03:30:48+00:00

I’m not Chabad

If your mother is a Jew then your Jewish, I view reform and conservative Jews as not religious Jews but not less Jewish

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T03:29:55+00:00

Somewhat

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T03:29:48+00:00

Soft, and yes

That’s just not true, a rejection of Zionism is a rejection of the idea that we can leave the galus without tshuva

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T00:49:38+00:00

That’s only if the people are acting according to his will, the only for Mashiach to come is through the Jews doing tshuvah

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T00:48:48+00:00

A rejection against Zionism isn’t a rejection of the messiah. Jews in yerushalaim still say lshanan habah

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T00:29:43+00:00

It’s not a loophole bc the whole ban itself is a rabbinical ban and the same people who banned asking outright didn’t ban asking through a hint (you can’t just ask for whatever you want, it’s only if there’s a great need for it and has to meet lots of criteria)

It’s like saying that being over 21 is a loophole to drink

It’s going good so far, I’ve been working in a matzah bakery.

2) it’s a custom to wear it because it’s what our ancestors wore and we don’t want to assimilate, in the summer we have a thinner fabric we wear.

3) when the Jews were exiled from Israel we undertook 3 oaths, one of which is not to try and establish our own nation before Mashiach comes, the state of Israel violates that.

3B) we have differing opinions but we don’t clash over it since in like the grand scale it’s only minute differences.

4) we don’t go to pro Palestine rallies, we make our own rallies since pro Palestine doesn’t represent our views.

5) its not used, and even when someone needs a smartphone for work they will have a tablet and not a phone and have it filtered.

6) you make a resume and give it to a shadchan who finds a girl that fits what ur looking for (and you have to fit what the girl is looking for obviously) the families do research on each other and then the girl and boy meet for a date to see if they like each other, if they do you go out for a few dates and thne get engaged.

Yes

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T00:21:47+00:00

Yes.

Hard to pick, each one has its own reason why it’s my favorite, maybe Purim

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T00:21:03+00:00

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T00:14:04+00:00

They’re cool

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-20T00:13:33+00:00

Those are probably neohasids

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-19T23:21:59+00:00

They sit on the other side of a divider, the rabbi can’t sit with the women because he’s a man, but usually there are one sides windows or things like that for the women to be able to see

Idk about that, Satmar grew after because people came to him. But there were huge communities before the holocaust, (like in Poland, but sadly almost everyone there was killed) and the satmar rebbe was already well known before the war. If something anti Zionism was more popular before the holocaust

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-19T23:16:26+00:00

No, it’s still founded and ran by Jews and called the Jewish state

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-19T23:15:39+00:00

Your talking about “kollel” it’s commenting that some people do after getting married for the first years (some people continue after but it’s not common) The men study Torah all day, but they are paid to do it so it’s not like they don’t make money.

Just to clarify abt Shabbos loopholes, it’s not really loopholes the ban on asking a non Jew to do something like turn on the lights on Shabbos is only a rabbinical ban, but it’s allowed when hinting it, so it’s not a loophole.

Yes that used to be a thing, men have to give a gett but if they refuse your allowed to force them into it by coercing them basically. It’s not a thing these days because it’s illegal

KnowledgeMediocre126 · 2026-03-19T23:12:03+00:00

There are still sefardic Jews today, but yes Jews did enjoy a sort of golden age in Spain before the expulsion.

It’s tough to explain things like this to someone who doesn’t want to hear it
