Listen First.

It’s important to hear the broadcast – as in really hear what is being said – before commenting. Often times individuals here a few words, snippets of sentences or ideas, interpret them as they perceive from the few words they heard and make comments that do NOT apply to the message. If you take the time to comment, PLEASE take the time first to listen.

May I offer just a couple of messages about this subject as no one else has spoke up. First message: Let’s use this time of Eis Rotzoin to make good resolutions to do acts of goodness and kindness! Why when a tragedy strikes do we all of a sudden say how can we change even a little? Let’s start with the basics of adding in acts of goodness and kindness, a little bit every day. It can be like Yosef when he asked the chief butler and chief baker why there were so upset? Or saying hi to a fellow… Read more »

If you would “Applie the chassidus”you teach in your own life.
You would not think like this about this special Jem of a yid.

#3 You expressed the sentiment so well!

You expressed the sentiment so well! Yasher Koach for articulating what is or should be on our hearts. In addition, one of the greatest miracles is the unity of Klal Yisroel hopefully signifying to the Aibishter that we can we really do it and we are really readu for Moshiach..KiIsh Echad biLev Echad.

There’s a crime of saying a lie about another Jew.
There’s a crime to agree with a witch hunt.(with Jew haters)
he never pleaded guilty to any crime.
A Jew hater said he’s guilty, so now your Going to have the chutzpah to say he did a crime!!
I ask you do do 2 things
First study the real facts of the case the defense side.
Second Make make a chessbon hanefshe on what comes out of your mouth

I agree with you totally!

my take on it
December 24, 2017 3:47 pm

perhaps this was a personal burden on all these people celebrating . i don’t know him nor his family personally but the last 8 years suffered ( to some extent ) the injustice and pain of a fellow jew , it really effected me and my life so this is not only about celebrating HIS release but to some extent mine too as this had become personal. i’m sure this wasn’t just me and it applies to all these people celebrating. This is such a relief to all klal yisroel. It also signifies that Hashem truly can do the impossible… Read more »

Yenikas hachitzonim
December 24, 2017 2:37 pm

How can we reconcile the fact that yenikas hachitzoniyus exists and that the Tanya says that darkness isn’t an existence, it is just the absence of light? Or are they two separate things? There’s darkness which is just confusion and evil which is a reality?

For heavens sake,, what kind of crime did he commit?

9,311 immigrations and child labor convictions were handed down. They were completely expunged from his record. The tax fraud would not have happened if the judge would have been fair. She had shares in the prisons systems. She made money on his arrest. so she wanted his blood, she appointed a trustee who we have proof intimidated the buyers who were ready to pay full price for agri, so that he would have been able to pay back his creditors.. what did he do wrong??? Get off your sanctimonious high horses for real!
