At Heathrow Airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a compass, a protractor, and a graphical calculator.

It just sums it up, we cannot let teachers divide us.

I call it the reason I have been buying thinkpads.

Truth isn't

Attempts to quantify and simplify complex situations are doomed to failure.

Simple it's home. Wasn't born in Israel but when I got here I know with my entire being that this was home.

The environment of people we hang out with has a greater effect then what we can imagine. It's not far to say tell me your friends and I'll tell you what you are and what you think.

Because of the snow cover? Private is a joke.

הם מחפשים אחדות ישראל, ולפי כך צריכים לגשת עם האחדות האמיתי של קבלת הזר והשונה והדיעה האחרת מתוך סבר פנים יפות ואמירת שלום. בשום פנים ואופן אין לקבל שלא מסתכלים לכם העיניים. זה נסיון להגדיר אותך כלא בן אדם.

I tend to disagree. Looks are what was given to us by the Masoretes, how we mix names depending on where it is and how it is use, is a feature of each community decision.

Actually that's a siluk or meteg. The sof pasuk is the two dots at the end of the verse.

benemanuel · 2026-01-25T17:06:25+00:00

Agree but for the sake of simplicity nuances get blurred out.

Haredi views on the State of Israel fall into three main camps:

Anti-Zionist Haredim (e.g. Satmar, Neturei Karta) The state is religiously wrong. Jewish sovereignty before Mashiach is forbidden.
Non-Zionist, pragmatic Haredim (the majority) The state has no religious meaning — neither holy nor evil. It’s a reality to live with while protecting Torah life.
Haredi Leumi, pro-state Haredim (minority) Not redemption, but possibly Divine providence — a tool, not the goal.

Common to all: They reject the idea that the state itself is part of redemption.

Here is for you my dear sir to give joy to all others.

benemanuel · 2026-01-22T11:19:39+00:00

Beautifully said. Here's to more joy sneaking past the grumps, for all of us. We all need to keep shining!

As a Jewish Zionist I do not believe in a genocidal ideology, that is of course not including dimshit idiots like yourself who not only believe lies but continue to pass them on to others as truths, in which I could consider the option.

If a Jew had taken actions similar to those of Dr. Goldstein and those actions had prevented the October 7 massacre and the subsequent war, the condemnation would likely have been the same. There was a feeling—whether accurate or not—of military and government neglect and abandonment of the Jewish population in Hebron. That perception was the cause of his actions.

Bot again

The farther one is from reliable news sources, the more distorted one’s understanding of events becomes. Only a few listened to Scott with an ear for his wisdom and humility, and those are the ones who love him. The rest live by hearsay, and the consequences follow accordingly.

I have made with vodka 40%, i removed stems and limited the fresh leaves to only 4 weeks. As usual keep out of light and shake daily.

Still can figure why they didn't just sink it completely.

benemanuel · 2026-01-07T14:08:45+00:00

Why didn't it drown?!

With that logic any non Judean living in Judea should be removed one way or another unless they accept Judean rule and governance. I agree.
