yahadus	Hi, did anyone here attend the Asifa? How was it? Are there insights to share with those that could not attend?

I was there...
Unfortunately, due to the presence of the secular media, there was little said about people in our matzav.
There was a takana that everyone must have a filter on their internet.
Still, it was worth it to see the intense pain felt by our gedolim. I left feeling uplifted... The tefilas rabbim was amazing (and I was by the last siyum hashas, it wasn't like this!

Any non-loshon-hora comments on the asifa appreciated.
Hatzlacha!

These are all linked to the same Youtube video. If your filter blocks Youtube (My home filter does but not my work one), You're out of luck so far. Hopefully some "Kosher" site will host a copy of it.

Blind Beggar OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Not a sexaholic, just trying to be good. Posts: 780 Karma: 12	Here's what I posted on the "other" Asifa thread: Blind wrote on 24 May 2012 19:34: This is what I've been waiting for: http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/05/its-not-just-porn-why-ultraorthodox-jews-fear-the-internet/257561/ and http://www.cross-currents.com/archives/2012/05/24/citifield-a-scorecard/
	The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars. If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look. I can guard my eyes. I want to guard my eyes. I do guard my eyes. Why do I say these four lines?
