Rav Elazar Menachem Shach

I added an idea here about an idea of Rav Elazar Menachem Shach of Yeshivat Ponovitch.
In short there is question in the Rambam.
First let me say  the Etrogs on an  Etrog tree do not ripen all at once. They can stay on the tree for years. So there is a question what to do about Maasar [tithes]? The Rambam goes with the opinion you go by the time the etrog was picked. But he also says an etrog that goes from the 6th year into the 7th is obligated in tithes. Direct contradiction. Rav Shach says the fruit of the 7th year is not הפקר. They have owners. All Israel. So when his field is being trampled  he would not be obligated in tithes because of trampling,-- not because that from the law they would not be obligated.

I have another answer for the problem, but here I just wanted to defend Rav Shach.[That is since the Etrog has owners it is fruit that is owned by partners and thus obligated in tithes.]


Rav Shach is important-the only area of disagreement I have is STEM [Science, Tech, Engineering, Math]. But in terms of areas of numinous value, I am in agreement with him.  That is that the holy Torah contains all the answers and all the meaning [for human life].

Most men are shying away from marriage---- comment from Dalrock

A comment from a blog. This is relevant to you to show you why I am telling you with all urgency to marry into a Litvak family and avoid the cult that the Gra signed the  excommunication on like the plague. They are trash pretending to be aristocrats. They think rituals can cover up their criminal activities.

Most men are shying away from marriage because they don’t want to get divorced. They don’t want to lose most of what they’ve worked for. They don’t want to end up in the poorhouse. They don’t want to be wage slaves. They don’t want to lose their relationships with their kids. They don’t want to end up as social pariahs, where everyone (including their own religion teachers and parents) blame them for the breakups of their marriages.

These are guys who would happily sign on for marriage if it was a good deal. These are guys who would work hard at it if the odds of failure weren’t around 45%. (If 45% of planes crashed, who would fly them?)

Mud sharking

Mud sharking is what is called on the internet black male and white female

The name comes from the fact of the mud sharks hanging around in the mud at the bottom of the sea.

It does remind me of the importance of genes and DNA.

What I recommend is you should try to find a Litvak shiduch, Religious Zionist also. Not the cult that the Gra signed the  excommunication on. 
If I have time I would like to collect some thoughts and ideas on this. I have seen enough disasters when it comes to shiduchim with individuals with bad DNA. It is as if stupidity and viciousness go hand in hand.

Even not black and white or the cult that the Gra signed the  excommunication on which are all defective. Even among white and white {Ukraine with Tartar-which are white I have seen that the damaged DNA criminal heritage gets passed on. That is some Ukrainian women I have seen are not careful about this. One very nice woman married a tartar and as expected the children are a combination of insane and criminal. I am sure she though she was getting a good guy because, in fact her husband is a pretty decent fellow. But the bad genes came from potential into reality in their deranged children. Another fellow married a gypsy--not knowing she was a gypsy because there also her skin was white. As expected the children are criminals. You can't outsmart biology. There are so many examples of this in front of my eyes, but because of being from the USA I choose to ignore this. But if you think about it you can see the effects of ruining ones DNA with some bad mixture.

Don't ruin your DNA with by joining it with someone who has damaged DNA.

Litvak [Lithuanian] yeshiva. The real ones as opposed to the phonies and fakes.

Sometimes institutions work against their stated goal and sometimes not. I used to think that all institutions work against their stated goals but someone loaned to me a book about long lasting corporations e.g., MMM that are successful and also in fact produce quality products.

This goes I think for yeshiva also. For I think that to really get a decent idea of what is going on in the Gemara is almost impossible without the context of a Litvak [Lithuanian] yeshiva. But it takes a discerning eye to tell the different between the real thing and the phonies and fakes.
The difference should be clear in terms of intention. What are people in the yeshiva intending to do? To learn and keep Torah? Then it is authentic. If their intention is to use Torah as a profession then it is fake.I might as well make  a short list of the best places. Ponovitch and its branches are great. The Litvak yeshivas in NY are tremendous. i.e. Mir, Chaim Berlin, Torah VeDaat. In Yerushalaim there is mainly Brisk. Though I am also impressed by Rav Zilverman in the Old City. His Yeshiva goes by the Gra in all details and it seems pretty good to me.
But in essence almost any place that you can tell is concentrating on Gemara, Rashi, Tosphot and Musar you can be pretty much guaranteed that is it is OK.

[I am not saying to do yeshiva at the expense of going to college. If one is going into STEM that is great and should be done in connection with sessions in Talmud. But the Humanities and Social departments of universities are disaster zones.]
