@YEZ?

YeZ

Why did you summon me here?

:)

Shokhet

Halfway to make sure that I could actually do this, and halfway to tell you something

YeZ

@Shokhet OK. I hope it's nothing incredibly private, because I think anyone can still access this room.

Shokhet

@YeZ I know that

YeZ

@Shokhet Well that takes out all the excitement.

Just wanted to tell you that I find it hard to believe that havarka's first language is English, as he's from Pressburg......so he probably doesn't understand that using vulgarities (or their symbolic equivalent) shouldn't go over so well among us English-speakers

@YeZ :P

.....I tried to get that across by asking about how Pressburg is going, but I'm not sure if I was successful with that hint.

YeZ

@Shokhet Aha. Is he a he or is he a she? S/he chose Lisa Simpson, after all.

@Shokhet Yeah, that totally went over my head.

Shokhet

@YeZ I know. In a different chat room, he said that he's gone to yeshivas in Bnei Brak and other places....so I figure it's a he.

YeZ

@Shokhet Yeah - not too many yeshivas which accept the ladies in Bnei Brak.

Shokhet

@YeZ :)

@YeZ Just curious....what does an invitation look like? Can you take a screenshot of the notification bar?

I just can't figure out how to use a special chat user, like "Meta-Man" or something

Q: Can we really bind people to social contracts?

One of the ideas I've been struggling to understand are the nature of existence in regard to the idea of social contracts. For example, a social contract like a constitution seems to bind people to laws within a territorial boundary even if they didn't directly sign a contract. However, is it r...

Q: Any recommendations to help learn a Tosfot?

Q: If a nations laws are immoral in the face of Torah laws, are we still obligated to abide by them?

Let me be clear, I'm not advocating breaking any laws. lol Say, for example, a country makes it a crime to keep kosher or wear head coverings inside buildings. Throughout history we've been forced to assimilate through laws that force conversion, or laws that make Shabbat illegal, and etc so...

Q: Non-Jewish Mysticism

According to the minhag I follow, one who is not a talmud chacham should not study Jewish mysticism (maase merkavah, heichalot, kabbalah, et c.). Following this, would one be able to read non-Jewish mystical texts (for non-religious purposes, of course), or would the same restrictions apply?

Shokhet has added YeZ to the list of this room's owners.

Shokhet

@YeZ How about now?

YeZ

21:14

@Shokhet Sorry, totally spaced out from my being in this room.

Shokhet

@YeZ It's all right....not much happened here :P

You are now a room owner ;-)

YeZ

@Shokhet I didn't try to talk before when instructed. Sorry for ruining your experiment.

@Shokhet I OWN this room!

Shokhet

@YeZ It's all right; I don't believe that you would have been able to, at that point.

YeZ

OK I am preparing a shiur right now - going back to spacing out. Please take care of our room in my absence!

Shokhet

@YeZ :)

@YeZ Good luck!

What's the shiur on?

YeZ

21:18

@Shokhet Shemoneh Esrei. Tonight's topic is ראה בענינו - what is the significance of ראיה and how should ענינו be translated.

Shokhet

@YeZ Cool. Hatzlacha!

YeZ

@Shokhet thanks.

@Shokhet When I first joined MY, I figured my first tag wiki badge would be in shemona-esrei. I'm always surprised which posts get votes and which don't.

Shokhet

@YeZ Huh. .....I wanted mine to be slaughter-shochet-shecht, but so far all I've got is the badge for halacha

shabbos might be next

YeZ

@Shokhet Yeah, I've been monitoring your score for shechita. I'm waiting to congratulate you on getting ksav v'kaballa from MY.

Shokhet

@YeZ :)

I currently have to top score, asking and answering, in that tag :)

YeZ

21:26

OK mincha time and then I'm finishing my shiur.

Shokhet

Alright; TZT!
