You know why it's called "fast"I favor nuggets

A. Because it doesn't end so fast

B. When it ends, you run fast to the kitchen.
Eat faster than your stomach can bear.

C. You can fasten your belt easier.

Nice

Does english blind you to the Torah?asd100

I asked my Bekkius rabbi an he told me that because i learn torah the most of the day i won't harm me. but who isn't learning so much Torah- it might harm him. Because that the Rabbi Tzvi Israel Tau Shalit''a's schools (from 1th to 8th grade) don't teaching English.

What do you think?

A lot ofגמני

jewish people speaks English from birth. Are they less religious? I'm not sure.

my dad is a rosh-yeshivaתמיד בבטחה

and he is speaking English from birth. I don't think that makes him less religious

The Torah protects from the language's harmsasd100

I'm levying in USA. Yes, it's not makeפנסאי

Me to know English.

But, after a few years here, I can say.

Most of the time, to learn Torah in English makes it less dip learn.

It's not makes them not religious but they are don't know to learn like Israeli yeshiva bocher...

Of course not all the American yeshiva bocher like this, but a lot of them.

I don't understand why... what is the cause?נגרינסקי

On the contrary, many times the English can help to learn...
Additionally, you can find in many books of Rabanim from the Rishonim and the Geonim mostly that encourage learning of other languages to add a wisdom...

language come with cultureתמיד בבטחה

and when you speak English a lot, you start to think like Americans when you speak English. so it's not the same as learning in Hebrew...

I'm not sure that's the reasonלך דומיה תהילה

for not learning English, according to Rav Tau Shlit"a.

It's just that younger kids should learn much Torah as possible.

So it's not anti-English, more like pro-Torah...

But I never really asked about it.

It is an additional reasonasd100

The major reason is' as someone told up, is the culture that comes with this language. And it makes you think more 'GOY' and less Jew...

I must tell that the Rav Rau Shlit"a encourage English learn at higher ages, because it may be useful for explanation abroad about Israel.

I was about to say that. thanks!לך דומיה תהילה

(Rav Tau Shlit"a is well known in his approach to stay away from השפעות חיצוניות)

There is something about that...לב אוהב

Sometimes I feel that when I lean Torah in English, it doesn't sound like real Judaism. It feels like somethings external to the Torah and less deep...

This is somewhat extremeI favor nuggets

But if one sees English learning as a danger -
for any reason whatever - he should avoid it.

I can't see how it is a danger.
However you should learn a language only if you feel like doing so.

If you'll go to academy you'll take English courses anyway....

As somone told before-asd100

Language comes with culture, and this culture is excatly the opposite from the Torah.

After some years at a Yeshiva english won't harm you anymore

Not quite accurate, thoughI favor nuggetsאחרונה

It's more about with what you learn the language,

and with which literature / content / English speaking friends you practice.

Is it from movies? simple English books with stories about animals?

Maybe even books written by Haredi jews from London or Brooklyn?

How much the Rebbe or R. Moshe shared the same culture and values

with some American movie star or congressman?

Their English was quite good, however.

The world of an international language such as English -

it's vast. Very very vast.

"will be improved" instead of "will improved" because it is passive.

Tznius
- by Esther Korf

I’m not strong enough
And I’ll never believe that
I can stand up for what’s right
You know what I think?
It’s so cool to be like everyone else
Don’t tell me that
If I had the will I could fight them
Because honestly
It’s nerdy to be tznius
It’s ridiculous to say that
Modesty is beautiful
Because
It feels good to be cool
I don’t care if
My knees or elbows show
Because it’s totally not okay if
I have to be different

what is "tznius", "will" and "modesty"?שאג

אופטימיות

Tznius/modesty- צניעות
Will- רצון

Thanksשאג

What "tznius" is the difrent (?) from "modesty"?

Hebrew and Englishזה רק אני

Tznius is a an Ashkenazi pronounce for צניעות.
Modesty is the proper word in English

thanksשאג

Ashkenazi pronounce?! I don't think soאופטימיות

It's like we say "Beit Kneset" instead of a synagogue..

Yes, Ashkenazi pronounceזה רק אניאחרונה

The origin Ashkenazi's pronounce 'ת' like 's'
And that's what I ment when I said 'tznius' is an Ashkenazi pronounce- its not spelled 'tzniut'.

The Sephardic way to pronounce 'ת' is like 'th'.

Hope I was clear
