Food For Thought

 אוקיי אז ככה, אף אחד לא הולך להאכיל את המחשבה שלכם, זהו ביטוי בלבד...

חומר למחשבה יופיע מידי יום ביומו....

קחו איתכם משפט יפה להמשך יום נפלא, ובדרך תלמדו עוד מילה או שתיים...

אתם יכולים להוסיף משפטים, אמרות, פתגמים וכו'

באנגלית כמובן.... ושימו לב שאין שגיאות כתיב... (מקסימום נתקן לכם...)

Learn how to be silent – so that you'll know how to speak.

(Rebbe Mendel of Vorki)

GOOD 

I have trained myself not to want the things I don't want.

(Rebbe Pinchas of Koritz)

A person running to do a mitzvah is liable to destroy the whole world on the way.

(Rav Yisrael Salanter)

No one ever became an apikorus because he started thinking, but only because at a certain point he stopped thinking.

(Rav Shlomo Wolbe ztz"l)

First of all this is not the forum to deal with issues such as Emunah.

These quotes from Tzadikim spouse to give you food for thought; if you disagree you should look for answers or discussions about this topic in a different place.

But if you raised already the question/ disagreement I have a few things to tell you:

You can't bring a quote from an unknown source in order to contradict what a well known Gadol said.

In addition I didn't bring the whole saying which was:

Rav Shlomo Wolbe ztz"l, taught us two principles:

1. There are no apikorsishe questions. There are apikorsishe answers.

2. No one ever became an apikorus because he started thinking, but only because at a certain point he stopped thinking.

If you would like to get articles about this topic, I will send you with pleasure.

And by the way you didn't emphasize the point that bothered you in the sentence.

Many people love falsehood.

Few love the truth, because falsehood can be loved truly, but truth cannot be loved falsely.

(Rebbe Yaakov Yitzchak of Peshischa)

Hi loud voice!!

I told you already that you have to look for a different stage to discuss these kind of issues!! 

These quotes from Tzadikim spouse to give you food for thought – sorry I had a mistake I meant to write – supposed…. 

You said that you don't care who said what, but what he said – I do care who said what especially when it is a Gadol. And I think that it is a great chuztpa to say the word demagogy about something that a Rav said!!!    

I don't know what your background is and where are you coming from – but I can tell you one thing:

The Torah gives an answer to every question. The Torah encourages us to ask questions, and offer answers as well. 

Let me ask you something: How do you definite an apikores?

Nowadays we almost can't find real apikorsim but people who went off the derech from many reasons – such as temptations.  

I don't know how do you definite yourself today, but I believe  that many factors caused you to became whatever you are – none of them is "too much of thinking" this is only an excuse to your condition. 

Let me finish with the following:

The truth is heavy, so very few are willing to pick it up. (Rabbeinu HaMeiri)

Think about it……
