And our yesod is the foundation, right?

I don't chup what you mean. Could you please explain.

Thanks

You were talking about how certain things are more central than others. This area of avodah, shmiras habris, etc, is referred to as the middah of "yesod." Which translates as, literally, "foundation" - because everything else can only be built on that.

Reb SB,

B'mchilas kevodcha I think that you misunderstood me.

The feeling I had was that just like we want our A"M to be as perfect as possible because every blemish might make a difference to the spiritual affect, so too I reflected how every action of ours makes a difference, and one can only contemplate the damage caused by negative deeds.

However it is certainly true that this is even more crucial when dealing with the Yesod itself.

Thank you SB.

Gotcha - keep on rocking, bro.

I had a fall yesterday. Hard to post this, but a know that I have to. A lot of thoughts running through my mind, but I am trying to focus back on what I should be doing.
The most important thing is to get through today. Please HaShem just today.

you can do it it . Dont worry you will win in the end.  Just have bitachon

Trust in hashem - on day at a time, one hour at a time.

You can do this - you already know that. Now, just do it!

Ani Hakatan Dal Sheb'dalim seconds Frumfiend on that....

To all my special friends,

Thank you for all the chizuk.

I suppose that every tekufa and situation has its own challenge. Even if one really has succeeded in learning how to handle a particular situation (and that is a big IF) he can easily fall in different circumstances – Yom Tov, Chol hamoed, being at home with the family, the kids etc, all have their own frustrations.

In my naivet? I thought that I could go Succos without posting. Now I see that it is not Dovor Haoved, it is Peekuach Nefesh!

OBJECTION. Reb Tried, I respect and admire you tremendously, both in your struggle and your insights what you write. I am sure that Reb FF will second my macho’o on your kovod.

I second it .Unless he is a novordoker were less is better. Ich bin a greserer gornisht fun dir

Please go to a simchas beis hashoava and dance your head off. Store up simcha for a whole year. When you come back from dancing you may feel like acting out. Ask hashem to help you overcome that nisayon.
Chap arien

I am not a Nevardika but less is definetly more:

Less acting out= more REAL happiness

But it was definetly the right thing to defend my Kavod hatorah!!!
It's when we lose the respect for Talmide Chochomim like me that we lose everything... > :o ;D : :

Reb FF,

I like that. It made me think that just like they say "once an addict, always an addict" we can say "once a yeshivisher, always a yeshivisher."

Anyway instead of dancing my head off at a SBH, I went to the kumsits. A slightly different experience. It was great and I really enjoyed it. It would have been nice if you could have been there.
