There is an argument between Ptolemy and Copernicus. Ptolemy says that the earth is the center of the universe whereas Copernicus says that the sun is the center. All seven planets revolve around the center. This rule is based on Ptolemy, the greeks. It is very hard to say that the sun, enormous body revolves around the smaller body, earth and the gravitation of the sun does not pull out the sun from the center. Look at the Rambam how complicated this is.
It is a Magen Avraham O’CH 271,1 says that every hour one of the seven mazalos, rules mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn and neptune. The sixth hour is mars, madim which is not good luck, so we should not make kiddush on Friday night between 6-7.
Yaakov Avinu cursed Ruvein’s and Shimon’s anger but not them personally.
CE is assumed, BCE should be mentioned and AD should not.
We are indicating that we don’t count the date from some deity of theirs but their designated calendar. We live in a world where their secular calendar is required, so we do the best under the circumstance.
The Pischei Teshuva in YD says that it if was accepted as a neder is worse being min Hatorah than derabonon which was accepted as a gezera. Reb Moshe ztz’l rules in America the government forbids non-kosher milk so there is no gezeira.
Fermenting for the Next World Judgement.
Our behavior this world will reflect the behavior in the next world. It says לא יכלו אחיו לענות אותו כי נבהלו מפניו, the brothers could not answer Yosef as they were shocked before him. The Midrash says Abbeh Kohen Bardeleh says if in front of Yosef the smallest of the tribes they could not answer, what will we answer when we are taken in the next world for judgement on לפי מה שהוא to account on our actions. People are judged according to their actions elsewhere like giving charity or how they see themselves. If they are conceded, they will be judged accordingly and vice versa if they are humble.
Where was that part of dream to choose someone? The Binah Leitim explains that the dream can be interpreted that the rich years also provide poor years when someone puts aside some of the grain and vice versa the poor years become rich years if someone unpacks the above saved grain. This is only possible if there is someone who collects the grain at the rich years and unpacks it at the poor years.
Miketz stands for ממון, קול and צום which are ממון, תפילה and תשובה. Why in reverse order rather than תשובה, תפילה וצדקה ? Maybe it is in the order of the amount of effort one must exert to accomplish it from less to more. Each one is 136 together 3 x 136 = 408, Zos as Zos Chanukah, Ches Chanukah (8th day). It reminds us of the ladder, סולם (136) of Yaakov Avinu to climb to spiritual heights from the ground to heavens where the malachim are either above him or below him. One should keep in mind constantly what Hashem told Adam Harishon, איכה, ayeka where are we on the ladder?
There is an argument in SA O’CH 684 between the Mechaber and the RMA how to lein in the Chanukah for the third person. The Mechaber says to repeat the leinen for the day whereas the RMA says from the Hagahus Maimanus to lein next day. Why when they say that their is no sefaka deyome? Maybe he learns like the Taz that some oil was left over which contributed to the burning of the next day.
The Ramban in Parashas Bahalascha explains that when Aharon the Kohen felt bad that he was left out of the chanukas hamizbeach and he was told by Hashem that yours is greater that your will light the Menorah forever (maybe as the view that Chanukah will not disappear at the time of Meshiach being a commemoration of the acceptance of the Oral Law) for Chanukah. The Rokeach has a hint from the Torah in Parashas Emor as after the description of the Yamim Tovim the Menorah is described (Chanukah) and Lechem Hapanim (Purim).
When the shevotim, in Parashas Mekeitz, found their money doubled, Yosef said Hashem your G-d provided a find in your sack and your money came to me. Asks the Ksav Sofer it should have said that your money came to me first? So he explains in great detail that a blessing must come on something already there. By Chanukah the Taz says that some oil was left over on which the the blessing of the additional oil, or long burning of oil came. The Chashmanaim knew that they cannot defeat the Greeks but did their own part. Similarly Ruvein did his own to save of Yosef even though it was not a complete save as snakes and scorpions were there. He figured that they have no bechira, free choice being being in the hands of Hashem compared to human beings.
Chanukah Thoughts is not getting bumped.
I say it every morning except Shabbos and Yom Tov as the Wiener do.
The Ksav Sofer explains that Leah said it as a wonder. Only now should I praise Hashem when I am suppose to praise Him for every breath take.
It says כי תבא אל הארץ in singular indicating that we should arrive to EY in unity.

My name is Eliezer Tzvi Kern – אליעזר צבי = 420 קערן = 420
See the Rambam Hilchas Melachim 11.
I dont know according to the Rambam if a goy can be Moshiach. He has to follow the Torah to bring the Jews back to it.
There is a story that when Meshiach arrives he goes to a shul with a bend up hat. We wear our hat bent down, he is told. When he goes to another shul with the hat bent down, he is told that they wear the hat bent up. Finally, when he goes to another shul he is told we don’t wear any hats at all. He says that I will return until you can agree and there will be peace and unity.
There is a Briggs Myers Personality Test which tests if Thinking or Feeling is the personality one uses in their decisions. Women’s personality type is more towards Feeling and men towards Thinking. This is used also to decide what job one is more suitable.
You want RFK Jr. make health decisions?
This follows with what it said later that he built a hut to invite people.
He is picking the worst expertise members in their fields of his cabinet.
So justice is according to the person’s state of behavior. More is expected from a chassid than an anav. Rambam Hilchas Yesodai Hatorah (5,11).
Man tzair ihu rav uman derav ihu tzair. Whoever acts small is really great but one who acts great is really small.
Lev Melachim beyad Hashem.
The Ksav Sofer explains the meaning of Yaakov Avinu’s dream where a ladder stands on the ground and its edge reaches the heavens. It reflects the human being’s potential to start from the ground and through our actions can reach the heavens such that the angels are either above us or below us.. This is similar to the altar above. We must convert our physical to spiritual.

Look at the Baer Hetev by benching Siman 183 sief 11 to wear a hat and jacket to say it beaima, with fear.
Look at SA O’CH at the end of Siman 91.
The shul has the right to enforce their standatds but usually for the sheliach tzibur.
We are suppose to ask forgiveness of the Torah which is a reflection of light.
Maybe the Ohr Zoruah dreamt that R’ Akiva should be written with a Heh at the end as the last letters naming himself by this name. Rebbi Akivah is known for unity. Veohavta Vereacha zeh kelal gadol baTorah. This is the most important theme to remember on Yom Kippur.
Hang up bug repeller tape. They have a bug repeller light.
It says Baruch atah bevoacha without sin. Maybe one still has to correct one’s previous life to go to gilgul even though it was forgiven after that.
It could be after all gilgulim.
The Kol Bo says that women’s first responsibility Is to her family over doing time dependent mitzvos.
The Tosfas Rosh Hashanah 33. discusses in great detail that being exempt does not mean that women don’t have a mitzva when they do it so they can make a bracha on it as the men are responsible. In a situation where everyone is exempt would be different.
The Baal Akedah says that lo yihyeh lecha elohim acherim includes going after money.
The Maharal says that the one who repeasts something in the name of the one who said it, will bring the redemption. Hashem wants us to give hakoras hatov for the redemption. One who repeats it will surely give hakoras hatov to Him as one gives credit where credit is due.
The Haflaah says that we should emphasize the positive, uvocharta bachaim, choose life which brings to love of Hashem rather than fear of death.
They were matir in SA Even Ezer 17 because of tekonos agunos. See Kesubos 22:.
