I'll be in the chat for a few minutes.

I'll be in the "Torah Chat" room for the next while. See you there.

Sam,
Have you had time to review my questions? Thanks for your time.

I replied to your private messages.

I'm in the "Torah Chat" room right now. I'll be there for the next hour or so.

Please note that the "Torah Chat" room is for members only and is not moderated. However, the "Guest" one is moderated, so if you are a member, join the "Torah Chat" room.

To Whom Maay knoe the answer:

About the idolatry issue--I had a discussion with my father and the following hypothetical situation arose during our discussion:

A man comes into you home and says (with a gun to your head) that you must burn the TOrah in order to save your own life. Do you do it?

My answer : No, because to do so is idolatry (my own life is worshipped over the value of HaSh-m's word of life), and because I don't think I could do so, regardless of whether it was permitted for my life's sake.

His answer : That HaSh-m's word cannot be destroyed, so to save his life, G-d would forgive;especially if the lives of his family were threatened as well.

Who is right, Rebbe?

I'll be in the "Torah Chat" for the next while. Enter the "Torah Chat" room for unmoderated discussion in "real time". See you there.

I'll be in the chat room for the next few minutes. Anybody?

Yes, Rav. Chaim--can we just go to Torah Chat and start typing?

I plan on being (for the end of Bein Hazmanim, by the chat room WED. Morning from 11:00-12:00 if conditions permits. Whoever would like to join, i invite them

of course it's Eastern time.

Also it depends if any people show up for the first couple of minuets

I staid for a half hour, none showed up, so I'm out of here. Oh Well

Sorry we all missed that. We should always take the opportunity to meet with a great TC Rav.

How about, all those that are interested in the live text chat, post what times (and time zone of course) they would be interested and available to join and then perhaps, we could arrive at a time that is available for those interested?

I'm currently in the Chat Room. I'll be in there for a while and if anyone would like to "Chat" in real time, let's do so.

click this link - http://globalyeshiva.com/groupee/chat - and choose - "Torah Chat". See you there.

There are now 2 people in the room, come join us.

I'm going to be in the chat room for a few minuets
