ORA ! I have no problem with people who have faith,as Moshe Dayan said:I have faith in people with faith,(Ashrey Hamamin),the problem is when faith is at war with secular education,and science,Sefarim chitsonim (secular books) and khokhma Yevanit (science),and as long people have to use the Telephone,the Telegraph,to communicate,Telepathy is just a interesting theory,Yes ,Christians love the Bible,but for 2000 years they have persecuted the authors of the Bible,the Jews,The Anglo-Saxon Bible lovers, on both sides of the Atlantic did everything they could to block every avenue of escape for European Jews from the Germans,The Jews are not a light to the nations ,but a bonfire to the nations,beside being a light to the nations the Jews need strong armored Divisions,to make sure that the light will continue to shine.

Why not use open cockpit planes to rush after clouds ? They must be having a good time. By the way, who is paying ?

67. Ora , don't curse me !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.29.10)
By hoping that there will be someone who can convince me , it's the same as cursing me . 1 ]The tora was never printed in quantities of billions . 2] The Rambam said " the tora is "ve'ahavta et re'echa...' the rest are only comments 3] nazi sol;diers had "got mit uns" engraved on their belts . 4] maybe the biggest murderers , but the total murdered worldwide was because of religion . 5 ] only weak people can believe , they need it to behave correctly It's not only because of the Shoa , how can you believe that the world was created less than 6000 years ago . I prefer , for the sakle of our children to teachj them humanistic values , not something from an inexisting thing . For the light under the nations read : Israel in the world . It's because of those achievements , and not because of tora , that Israel is a light under the Nations . PS : how many Rabbanim were awarded a Nobel prize ? only two kippa wearing Jews , Agnon and Prof. Auermann , out of more than 150 Jews who received this honor . Regarding the happines of charidi women , i received a very different view from someone who was in direct and personasl contact with them .
68. 67 Charles I curse you?That hurts...
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.29.10)
69. 67Charles,i hired a balloon for next curse
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.29.10)

70. Ora , a great answer !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.30.10)

When you hurt me,it is very easy for me to respond the same way. But instead i make a joke to myself,and i laugh of my own joke,and the pain disappears.Thanks to you i developped my sense of humor. Charles, you can be so charming when you want.Than, reading your post is not a waste of time,it is a real pleasure . In a crowdy street in Paris,two man are running one in another._The frenchman says to the arab:-What are you doing?-,-I am looking for my wife,and you?.I also look for my wife. The arab asks:-how does your wife look? -She is a mannequin with blond hair,and blue eyes. And the frenchman asks to the arab:-and how does your wife look?- The arab answers briskly:Let s us go and look for your wife!
72. Ora , 71 . This joke : your FIRST
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.01.10)

Clowns, Balloons and Snake Oil are perhaps for some kind of public awaresness campaign that may rally support for prayer in a wide base in world Jewry which could trigger a response ;Tikkun perhaps would become a mantra in Jewish society and such fixing of the burdens of their world would find pleasure with G-d. Ine might assert in their behalf that such an expression is similar to sewing cut hairs from the head of a Prophet into the skirts he wore then distributing the clippings to the wind a bit odd and certainly debated as to it's effectivness but then again the aspiration of Jewish people to self determination is such a journey fraught with decisions as to which is best the old way or the new, remembering the old bottles adage we could say that this is the old but the old may be responded to in that kind, by older adherents and their daily lives regimes which bring favor from G-d. There is room for both the behavioral admonitions for providences from G-d and the spiritual prophetic admonitions such as the acts of the prophets and their meaning to certain peoples. Rain will come to Israel, abundance, surity, and providence when humility returns to the discourse and advicacy for self expresson and the shard values accentuated rather than disparate feeling concerning how best to pray for rain. Think of Job, of his mentors and advocates, what they debated and why the outcome, Israel is job, how was his flock restored and his family regathered, his life regained and his humility the path?

Your compliment reminds me one i received many years ago,and i never forgot. I was newly married and my late husband invited for dinner an important businessman ,from the high society, who could be a great help for his carrier.We had a nice neighbour who lent us his first class butler.I bought in a delicatesse boutique a very rare bottle of the finest porto.And for the rest i spent three says in the kitchen for a meal of three persons.The dinner i thought was a big success.Some days later i received a thank letter,and extatic praise about ....the butler and the porto.Not a word of the meal.
76. 73 , Ora . A compliment
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.02.10)
for this joke . The contrary for all your other tb's . Most likely that your kitchen ability , as a young woman , was NOT worthy of a compliment .

This joke is not my creation.Do you have only critics for me,not a single kind word?Sei gezund und stark.(Be healthy and strong)

ORA ,   Jerusalem   (12.02.10)
For me it is not that important as thanks G-d ,my family and friends are kind to me.But your family and friends need you to be ,not so critic but the opposite,they need you to notice the way they care for you;they need to be appreciated .Keep them happy,Charles.And you will be happy too.Hanuka Sameah.
79. Ora , 78 . Who are you to give me advice ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.03.10)
I told you already , i'm talking to everyone in the way he/she deserves . I'm kind to people WHEN they deserve it . Not kind to someone who wished that a person could convince me to become "ba'al tshuva" . Generally you only wished me good things [ thanks for those wishes ] , but this was the contrary and can't be given compliments . Who are you to give me advice ? you're only a charidi woman , far from the person from whom i could accept this , and who's unable to give it .
80. 79 No roses without thorns!
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (12.03.10)
I can t take anymore thorns from you. Only, if you think i deserve a kind post,you are my guest.
81. 79 A rose for Shabat
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (12.03.10)
Charles,you are great.
82. Ora , 81 . Thanks , i know it [ dikkenek ! ]
charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.04.10)
But i'll give you more than a rose , an entire bunch [ i'm generous ! ] because everything you wish people is for their good in your eyes . חג אורים שמח
83. 82 Charles Heavenly smell up here
