Author Topic: Matisyahu Shaves Beard... (Read 118318 times)

Based on that interview, I will be shocked if this man is a frum jew in 5 years from now.

Calling "ludicrous" the chasidic belief that the yud gimel midos ha'rachamim and G-ds mercy comes through the beard and what the tzemach tzedek paskened a d'oraisa is but a step away from calling "ludicrous" the need to keep kosher, observe shabbos, or tefillin in order not be cut off from G-d.

+1!

he started off in chabad,then went to breslev,now he is more freelance,ive seen him perform he is a bundle of energy and very charismatic.
if he is searching for his truth so good for him.maybe we ought to try this on ourselves,looking for our own individual truth instead of looking over our shoulders what does ploni think of me

Yes yes we should all do what he did. We should keep switching our lifestyle every couple of years until we find our true self

Really, because back in the day he was indeed full of great energy but with each passing year that I've gone to a concert he has less and less energy and looks more and more stoned.

Me too. Does Chabad charge an ETF? What if there is a material change in the terms (no more shlichus spots, zal tuition rising higher than $20K)?
