ExGingi: Good morning Dan, how's you day going?

Dan: It's going well, thanks for asking.

ExGingi: Wrong. Bh you woke up, thanks to Hashem as explained in modeh ani and even more in depth in inyanei shel toras hachasidus. If you would understand that sicha properly you would know that one doesn't simply wake up, it's not us who wake up, but rather thanks to the brachas of the rebbe and Hashem's help we wake up.

And if it can be explained by a moshul you can say shorsho bbilti baal gvul?


Just wondering how you would draw bli gvul, and how you would represent that being the shoresh of kav.
I don't sin, I give myself opportunities to repent.

I've been working on a rendering for years now, but I keep running out of paper and pens, and it's getting too big to store. I'm hoping to finish it one day, so I can show it to my mushpa'im and they'll then understand Bli Gvul. Once I finish it, drawing Kav will be easy.

Ok, I'm going to bite, hook line and sinker.


One of my pet peeves is when people say that chasidus can't be explained. That's kabala, not chasidus. If kav can be explained by a picture, you can't say shorsho bbilti baal gvul. If igul hagadol is a big circle, you don't understand a word. [Italics] You [/Italics] should be the first one to agree with me.
If bochurim wouldn't be tainted by such pictures and sayings there might be more people who are able to learn chasidus.
/Rant
What's the difference between kabalah and chassidus?

The answer is in this book, particularly footnote 71.

How you would give over a moshul for bli gvul? And how would that be different from a drawing? I'm not asking facetiously.

The video is just talking about mathematical infinity.

I'd appreciate an answer to my question

Did you watch the whole thing? If not, start here.

My point was not about understanding anything being Bli Gvul (or Infinity), it's about understanding how it's very hard to understand such concepts.

And that's not even bli-gvul!

Also don't forget that כשם שישנו בבלי-גבול כך ישנו בגבול.
Exactly.

1. I am definitely a better writer due to receiving some level of secular education. I have friends who went to high schools without English who simply can't write.

2. Shochet required shochad, not a GED. Other places to as well. Whole system is pretty sick, they don't make it easy to get.

3. BA.
So with those 3 statements, you didn't prove that you English education had ANYTHING to do with your business success.

Let me provide you with a few quotes from what I consider to be the קיצור שו"ע for anyone aspiring to be a Lubavitcher - לוח אור זרוע לחסידי חב"ד:


Underline added in allusion to a discussion in a different thread.

4. I'd say they both did, feel free to ask someone who attended my hour long DD history speech over YT. People have told me it was the most inspirational thing they've ever heard!

I don't know who attended (I know Jared and Ivanka didn't - but I wouldn't have a way to contact them, let alone have a conversation). Is the Shliach there Shapiro? If yes, did he attend? I do have a relationship with him, so I could ask him, but I'm sure I'm not the only one here curious to know what you might have spoken about on YomTov. Can't be Credit Cards or Points, as those would probably violate מדבר דבר. So why not write something about it, maybe post an outline of the talk.

In any event, I refer you back to the above quote, and provide here another one from the same source:



5. Good Enough Degree doesn't give any of the tools that may be necessary in life. I graduated number one in my MBA class, I don't think that happens without previous secular education the aibershter giving you your talents, and סיעתא דשמיא at many steps.
FTFY

PS: I just realized that this is post #2000! Am I required to do a JTZ/Houdini act?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Serious question.

Does exgingi believe in this:  "wake up thanks to brochas of the Rebbe"? Or was that not serious?
