Hey! The link for the מצב חירום in Hebrew isn’t working. But thanks for your insights ;)

I recently received messages for a charity campaign from my seminary. I was amazed to see they want to get 1 million. I wonder why they didn’t bother teaching us valuable jobs if they rely on us to sustain them - and our potentially learning husbands.

God bless the Bnei Menashe, and I truly mean that, and God bless those who help them, and I mean *that*, but saying "2700 years" is not exactly "rationalist."

This מאי אהנו לן רבנן rhetoric has been around forever, so long that the Gemara talks about it. People who donate to yeshivas are not the type to be swayed by מאי אהנו לן רבנן. You'll have to try something else.

What a hero, rabbi doctor, you are!

I'm sure God is smiling watching you fix the world one post at a time. So now the four cubits of halacha will shrink into oblivion and God will rest His presence... where exactly? How about on those who abstain from hotzaas zera lvatala? Another option mentioned in chazal. - O right! We did away with those in a post years ago!

Actually, who am I kidding? God's presence needing a place to dwell?? That's Zohar hibbie-jibbie stuff! True Judaism is just about getting along with thy neighbor so long as they're not Charedi...

I can't speak for every yeshiva but the few I know collect on Purim exclusively for poor students in the yeshiva. The money collected is given to the poor students in a discrete manner so to not embarrass them

The charedi Yeshivat collect money on purim to help the poor talmidim perfectly fits with Matan it leevyonim
