You are all contributing to my understanding of Torah and Yiddishkeit! Your postings are meaningful and worthwhile.

I was hoping people would share their thoughts on how they weigh these issues. And it is great that Yitz has already spoken to his Rav about this.<BR/><BR/>I do hope you or anyone else readin this will share the issues they feel need to be addressed in this area. Certainly hearing all of this will help me concretize the the issues I will be specifically asking my rebbe about. <BR/><BR/>-Dixie YidDixieYid (يهودي جنوبي)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713423988723533390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-80868871308018369432007-03-28T13:05:00.000-04:002007-03-28T13:05:00.000-04:00I spoke to my rav about it this past erev shabbath...I spoke to my rav about it this past erev shabbath.<BR/><BR/>I told him I've been trying to write 3 divrei Torah every day and put them out on the web. I shared my fears, mainly either that I might mislead people or that perhaps I shouldn't be posting because of how much more I have to learn.<BR/><BR/>He told me: <BR/>it's very important to share (or at least write down) your chidushim otherwise it is possible to have to come back in a gilgul to share them.<BR/><BR/>he didn't state any issue with it, I explained I felt much happier when I see that I have almost no traffic because then I don't need to worry about these things.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>I do realise that I waste a lot of other internet time because of blogging. Which when I noticed this, I cut back on sites that I enjoyed but sometimes posted innappropriate things.<BR/><BR/>It does cut into my work sometimes, but I think it's important to make my Torah kevah and my work arai.. not to mention that how complicated things get at work (ie. how much work I have to do) is directly dependent on God and what he puts before me and when he hads simple answers from me--i've been a lot happier with this methodology.

I wish you Hatzlocha with your decision - whether it is to blog or not - as I am sure you are going through a sincere process of evaluating the gains and losses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-45973461874101622172007-03-28T12:13:00.000-04:002007-03-28T12:13:00.000-04:00Keep blogging and I will keep reading!Keep blogging and I will keep reading!A Simple Jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158902792838896670noreply@blogger.com
