-hat tip to Sfeika D’oraisa

al tikri believe elo be’leive

    1.  I once heard from a Rav who was always bothered by how people talk and disturb others during davening. He then went on to explain it by saying “those people just don’t beleive.” If we believed in our tefilot, if we actually thought about the fact that Hashem is in front of us, then we would act differently. I appreciate the story and I hope it reinforces the point to others as it has for me.

  2. Bizrizut,
    Chas V’Shalom they ‘don’t believe’!! That rav didn’t understand the yideshe people. We are told that we are believers and children of believers thats who we are. Now to explain the lack of decorum in our shuls.
    As reb Avrom points out that with time we can become lax in our ‘respect’ for a beis hatfilah. When one realizes the enourmous potential there is in tefilah one can understand the tremndous desire to interrupt that very task. The Satan knows that tefilah is extremally valuable, and tries to minimize the effect by introducing all sorts of narishkeit into this task. (I always wondered why people can’t put their phone on ‘vibrate’ mode, but with this explaination I no longer wonder.) How many times do we get together each week, month, year, lifetime to daven? Is this the mark of people who don’t believe? When we daven 21 tefilos a week, 10 hours at a minimum per week, how can you say that we don’t believe? If its lip service, that should last 2-3 hours but 10 solid hours a week should profess our belief that there is a creator and he runs the world. I believe that anyone of the people that attend the minyanim daily would give up their lives al-kidush hashem in a nano-second.

    Lets not bad mouth our fellow yidden. I enjoyed the article because the author did not trash yidden, but merely elabarated on how lucky we would be if we follow the decorum lesson.

BLOCKBUSTER DEAL LOCKS IT UP:

The switch-hitting Betemit, who has 10 home runs, 26 RBIs and a .231 average in 84 games for the Dodgers, adds versatility in the infield. A career .263 hitter who was serving as a reserve in Los Angeles, Betemit, 25, has played mostly third base in a five-year Major League career that also included parts of four seasons with the Atlanta Braves, but he's also played second base, shortstop and right field.

Speaking of exorcism…

July 30, 2007 By: mohammedk Category: Ruckus 5 Comments →

A 48-year-old Phoenix grandfather was killed by police after cops walked in on a gruesome scene:

Police reportedly found Ronald Marquez, of Phoenix, shirtless and choking his granddaughter as her 19-year-old mother, naked and bloody, looked on. The bloodied girl was gasping and screaming as her mother chanted and held a religious picture of some kind, police said….Two officers forced the door open slightly to find Marquez sitting on a bed blocking the door, police said.

The man held the girl in a headlock with one arm as he was squeezing her torso with his other arm, causing her to gasp and scream, police said. Investigators later learned the man was trying to "squeeze the demons out of the young girl"…

The mother could face charges as a result of the incident.

An Edgewater, FL city council member was recently reported to the police for battery, after attempting an exorcism on her teenage daughter. The girl had hit her father, and was cursing, and was "confrontational, and out of control". The city council member and her husband denied the charges, which allegedly include the father's asking the teenage girl, "Do you believe in G-d?" while twisting her arm. The father, who according to the daughter's account considers himself "Christian and super powerful" poured oil on her in an attempt to "anoint" her.

Just a little snippet of today's news you may have missed.
