"Reuvein vs The Witnesses"
Eidim (witnesses) appeared at the Beit Din (court) and testified they saw Reuven
commit an aveira (transgression) b’shogeg (unknowingly), for which he was
chayav (liable) to sacrifice a Korban Chatat (Sin Offering).
If Reuven admits that he
committed the aveira, then he is obviously liable to offer a Korban Chatat.
But what
if Reuven disputes the testimony of the eidim and insists that he did not commit
any aveira?
Should Reuven be believed, despite the witness testimony he had
committed an aveira?
According to halacha, we indeed believe Reuven over the
testimony of the eidim, and he is patur (exempt) from offering a
Korban Chatat.
Why is Reuven patur?
If Reuven was a liar who
wanted to cast off his liability to offer a Korban Chatat, he could
have told the Beit Din that the eidim were correct (i.e., he had
committed the aveira), but that he had done so b’mayzid (on
purpose) and not b’shogeg as stated by the eidim.
A person
who commits an aveira b’mayzid is not obligated to bring
a Korban Chatat.
The eidim are unable to contradict such
a claim, because they have no way to prove what Reuven’s
intentions were in the moment of sin. Being that Reuven did not
make that simple claim, we conclude that he is not a liar. As such, we believe him that he did not commit any aveira.

Five Towns Newspaper Advice To a "Overweight" Girl on a Shidduch Date
I want to preface this post with the following caveat .....
Being obese is not healthy .. period.......nothing to do with getting a shidduch ....
Having said that....Let's talk about a girl looking for a shidduch that is not obese but is by 2019 standards a bit overweigh!!
In Yeshivois and Seminaries the Rabbaim and Morahs preach that Jewish values is about the "pneemious" of a person..... that it is "what is in the inside that counts."
אל תסתכל בקנקן אלא במה שיש בו
always quoting Chazal's advice to people , that one shouldn't judge a "book by its cover" so to speak...
And that is absolutely true.... because the bottom line is after you you take your wifey home, you and only you will need to deal with her personality.....
It's not going to be her weight .....
So why do all Yeshivisha learners insist on a girl thats a -3 ?
Is it because they are concerned about her health?
Is there only good chemistry between the learner and the girl if she is "cheenush" (slim in the gypsy hungarian language?
My Theory?
It's all about the neighbors! Absolutely.....
Let the neighbors eat their hearts' out, I'm going to parade my anorexic Kallah with her 8" heels and gucci dress right past their window while they are eating supper ....
Let them choke!
Now look at the advice she gets from the experts...
Only ONE advises her correctly that she should be concerned about her "overall health and emotional well being."

It Does Not Appear That EitherParty Has Enough Seats to Form a Coalition.
According to an informal count of 90% of the votes in Tuesday’s elections for the 22nd Knesset, Blue and White has a slight advantage over the Likud.
Blue and White has 33 seats, Likud - 31, Joint List - 12, Shas 9, Yisrael Beytenu - 9, United Torah Judaism - 8, Yamina - 7, Labor-Gesher - 6 and the Democratic Union has 5 seats.
The right-wing bloc has 55 seats and the center-left has 56. Both these numbers do not include Yisrael Beytenu’s 9.
According to the updated official results obtained from the Central Elections Committee: Likud -28%, Blue and White - 26.4%, Shas - 8.7%, UTJ - 8.3%, Yisrael Beytenu - 7.7%, Yamina - 6.6%, Labor-Gesher - 5%, Democratic Union - 4.4%, Otzma Yehudit - 2.2% and the Joint List - 1.74%.
The voter turnout in Tuesday’s election was 69.4 percent, 1.5 percent higher than the voter turnout at the end of the previous election in April of 2019.
Exit polls published on Tuesday night showed that Blue and White was the largest party in the Knesset and is followed by the Likud, but it does not appear that either party has enough seats to form a coalition.
Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu party will probably be the deciding factor in determining who will head Israel’s next government – Binyamin Netanyahu or Benny Gantz.

The Theory that "You are born gay" Debunked in Huge Study ...... No Gay Gene ! .... "Feigalach Turning Over"
The largest study to date on the genetic basis of sexuality has revealed —that DNA markers are not reliable enough to predict someone’s sexuality.
The findings, which are published on 29 August in Science and based on the genomes of nearly 500,000 people, shore up the results of earlier, smaller studies and confirm the suspicions of many scientists: while sexual preferences have a genetic component, no single gene has a large effect on sexual behaviours.
“There is no ‘gay gene’,” says lead study author Andrea Ganna, a geneticist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

''דף ב' ''מסכת כרתות
Page 2 Mesectas Kreesois
There are certain punishments the Torah did not place in the hands of the Beit Din to
administer.
Rather, the Torah determined certain cases were punishable by karet (a
penalty of Divine punishment, cutting off of the soul).
Masechet Keritot opens with a
listing of the offenses for which the penalty is karet, as well as the halachot related to
the implementation of the karet punishment — (from the word keritah, “cutting off”).
Rambam posits that there are three types of karet:
“Karet Kal” (mild ‘cutting off’):
where the offender dies before their time, but retains
their place in Olam Haba (World to Come) and still merits techiyat ha’meitim
(resurrection of the dead).
“Karet Chamur” (more serious ‘cutting off’):
where the offender lives a full life, but
does not merit Olam Haba.
“Karet HaChamur Be’Yoter” (the most severe ‘cutting off’):
where the offender’s life
is cut short and their soul is excluded from Olam HaBa.
However, the penalties are different for a Chozer B’Teshuvah (person who has
repented).
According to Rambam in Hilchot Teshuvah, even an individual who was
banned from Olam Haba, can regain that privilege if they were to do teshuva. The
importance of teshuva supersedes all considerations.

Tens of Thousands Attend "Voting Kinus" With Ger, Belz, R' Chaim Kanievski Defying R' Sternbuch, R' Tuvia Weiss & Satmar
Tens of thousands of Chareidim came from all over Eretz Yisroel to stick the thumbs into the eyes of the Satmar, R' Sternbuch and R' Tuvia Weiss's SHIT'ah who claim "that voting is prohibited min ha'Torah"
All those attended were handed a 64 page booklet called
קנאות של אמת
which basically broke down the entire anti-voting SHIT'ah and then concludes that not voting is actually against the Torah and it is a "SHIT'ah Shel Sheker"
The booklet had quotes from the previous Belzer Rebbe, R' Aaron Rokeach, the previous Sadigera Rebbe, Rav Zalman Sorotzkin, Rav Aron Kotler, Chazon Ish, the Imrei Emes, the Tchabiner Rav, R' Yechezkel Sarna, etc...
all writing that there is a "Chiyuv" to vote in Israeli Elections....
and that was in the very first Israeli Elections...
