He was ready to compromise and negotiate as long as no forbidden boundry was crossed. When the "boss" of the other side insisted that he do something wrong... it was a test but he did not betray his own soul..." i would rather be called a traitor then to betray my own soul". The Israeli State however is being pused around by the "boss" of the other side to betray its jewish values and it should take example from this young man to have integrity. Congratulations! You are a champion! The Test of strength took place before the match and you won!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323014179438735674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856901020048896556.post-32147871285909577832016-04-20T10:19:11.350+03:002016-04-20T10:19:11.350+03:00When your website or blog goes live for the first ...When your website or blog goes live for the first time, it is exciting.

Amateur boxing is very strict about weights. The "boss" that intervened to prevent the above arrangement was an idiot. It makes no difference how you arrive on the scales. The purpose is to measure your weight, nothing else. It takes about 30 seconds to weigh-in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856901020048896556.post-10015072953493120802013-01-03T07:17:02.634+02:002013-01-03T07:17:02.634+02:00just curious, you describe yourself as non-orthodo...just curious, you describe yourself as non-orthodox yet care about Halacha?

The schedule had been published several months earlier, and his decision was made well before the Games. Liddell spent the intervening months training for the 400 metres, though his best pre-Olympics time of 49.6 seconds, set in winning the 1924 AAA championship 440 yards,[1] was modest by international standards. When the day of the Olympic 400 metres race came, Liddell went to the starting blocks, where an American Olympic Team masseur slipped a piece of paper into his hand with a quotation from 1 Samuel 2:30: 'Those who honor me I will honor.'" He went on to win the race.[ This story is told in the movie "Chariots of Fire", which I comment on here:<br />http://beneaththewings.blogspot.co.il/2008/01/chariots-of-fire.html ]<br /> Yes, Mr. Liddell had to give up his preferred race, but today he is admired.Rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078192111057725026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856901020048896556.post-71952900287968169602012-12-23T23:43:18.839+02:002012-12-23T23:43:18.839+02:00This was included in this week's edition of th...This was included in this week's edition of the <a href="http://esseragaroth.blogspot.co.il/2012/12/haveil-havalim-391.html" rel="nofollow">Haveil Havalim Blog Carnival</a>!<br /><br />(#391)Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856901020048896556.post-28293057306642182682012-12-23T07:07:59.955+02:002012-12-23T07:07:59.955+02:00Write to my email and I will let you know.

Many of these parents and other posters are going to find, the more you stifle and frustrate a child's inner yearnings, the more likely he will throw off what you are trying to shove down his throat. I see it constantly, those who leave the Torah world to experience what they wanted to do as children. The numbers are not insignificant and growing.

The other prevents predators from preying on the sheep, protecting them from their foibles and the wolves of the world. Not all people (or Jews) are endowed with the ability to sit all day and write off those who would protect them, their friends, families, and property as being somehow inferior creatures. The sheep dog is fed, housed, and valued by the higher beings who control his life, like the sheep; but without having his milk, and wool taken before he is roasted on the spit. Akiva is light years ahead in maturity, mental, and physical skills than his contemporary 'sheeple' brothers.
