Reb EliezerParticipant
Syag, I applaud you but not everyone is able to do that as the president is looked at as a model of behavior. Clinton’s behavior was private which was publicized whereas your president flaunts his bad behavior.
Reb EliezerParticipanthealth, Ahavas Chased Michah (6,8) which unites, but not Trump, is the most important. Rashi says on Mishom Hefitzom in Parashas Noach that the Dor Haflaga even worshipping a’z were not killed because there was unity among them. We abhor toava behavior but advocate caring for each other.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Alshich Hakadash has a very interesting interpretation. If Lavan would not have fooled Yaakov then he would have married Rachel first and Yoseph would have been the first born deserving the kesonas pasim and no jelousy would have occured, so they would have never ended up in mitzraim,
so Lavan’s actions contributed to go down to mitzraim.
The Chasan Sofer interprets it that the yetzer hara wants to destroy the feeling that Hashem is our merciful father. Could be that by being redeemed, even though not worthy of it, taught the Bnei Yisroel that Hashem cares for them like a father.Reb EliezerParticipantSarah S, I would not want to bring up my children to learn Trump’s behavior, lying, calling people names which according to us has no part in the world to come and getting rid of his advisors because he knows everything better than anyone else.
Reb EliezerParticipantNot every religuous Jew is Pro – Trump.
Reb EliezerParticipantShould be above 70 languages.
September 3, 2020 5:06 pm at 5:06 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond: Ki Savo 2 — The Birth of a Nation #1898395Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the Taz O’CH 47 for making the bracha laasok bedivrei Torah making learning a business of give and take, to deepen oneself into it. The Chasam Sofer in Nedorim there explains that they considered learning Torah as a hechsher mitzva, to know what to do, so they held that it needs no bracha before learning. As a melitza the Chasam Sofer interprets the statement that they praised one for his secular knowledge first over his Torah knowledge.
Reb EliezerParticipantResident Mortal, can you live with corruption and constant lies?
Reb EliezerParticipantJude, Gavriel thought Yosef all 70 languges, so they learn pshat that they understand but einom nizkokim, they don’t want to do anything with it.
Reb EliezerParticipantOne condones toevos the other corruption. Toevos I can avoid. The churbon came because of corruption. sheeris yisroel lo yaasu avlo velo dibru sheker.
Reb EliezerParticipantn0mesorah, the two questions are related. If you cannot make a bracha, it is forbidden being a mesaken.
Reb EliezerParticipantShnayim mikra might be because of learning Torah which women are exempt from.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Tosfas is paskened in SA O’CH 106,1 that women are only responsible for tefila derabonon because it is not considered time dependent as praying for mercy applies any time.
Reb EliezerParticipantBenephraim, Tosfas Brachos (20,2) on the top of the page applies the savoro for a mitzva derabonon like halel.
Reb EliezerParticipantTbe Biur Halacha 8,7 explains from the Magen Avraham that currently since no techeles, separation is not realy necessary, so no mesaken mana applies whereas the GRA argues, so it might be assur according to him. The question is can you make a bracha on a talis if not separated?
September 2, 2020 1:20 pm at 1:20 pm in reply to: why cant ywn ever show any gaffs of trump #1897959Reb EliezerParticipantIt is pointed out in Michael Smidt’s new book Trump vs US, Trump going for health checkup to Water Reed Hospital and placing Pence on standby if take over required for possible operation.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen it comes for Rashi, learn the roots of the hebrew words getting 501 Hebrew Verbs and for the gemora, do shenayim mikra veechad targum. sedra maavir every week.
The Shlah Hakadash (Shabbos 16) says to do this as a parasha (פ. ס) unit rather than pasuk by pasuk.Reb EliezerParticipantOn this we say:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת עירובין דף יד עמוד ב
אמר ליה רב חנן לאביי; הלכתא מאי? אמר ליה: פוק חזי מאי עמא דבר.Go and see how the nation speaks. Explains Rashi how the nation behaves.
Reb EliezerParticipantRashi must agree that we punish the ben sorer umorei for his current actiions which reflect his future actions otherwise we have a questiion of baasher hu shom from Yishmoel where Hashem punishes as he behaves now.
Reb EliezerParticipantRav Ovadyah above says that the entanglement is not permanent and stands to be opened, so untying prohibition does not apply.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, bemechilas kovad tarohsa, you don’t know whqt you are talking about. Rav Ovadyah Yosef above would not be matir one of the 39 melochos of unknotting. The question is if considered mesaken miderabonon. Moving the fingers does not unknot when permanently tied.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee the Biur Halacha there from the GRA’s view. Playing is not a pesik resheh so its a safek pesik resheh miderabonon is mutar and certainly if only the first time.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee the MB, Biur Halacha and Sharei Teshuva in above SA O’CH (8,7) there.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says in SA O’CH (8,7) to separate the tzitzis. Therefore, shabbos might be a finishing touch or makeh bepatish, mesaken rabbinically. The Yabia Omer (5,3) says, as besalel above, that it only applies the first time as if done once, it is complete. According to this, certainly playing around would not be assur.
If an entangled, maybe do it with a shinuy by shaking it.August 31, 2020 11:32 pm at 11:32 pm in reply to: it’s dumb to blame trump for not doing anything about covid19 #1897408Reb EliezerParticipantShould be above herd immunity.
August 31, 2020 6:48 pm at 6:48 pm in reply to: it’s dumb to blame trump for not doing anything about covid19 #1897362Reb EliezerParticipantDr. Atlas wants to create heard immunity which to be effective might kill around 2 million people.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Berdichever ztz’l says that when we do a mitzva with joy so we are happy below, we pass on that happiness to above and we can ask anything we desire and it wil be listened to.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, how do you want to meet someone in an empty forest?
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a safek when night is so erev shabbos we are machmir like the Yereim to stop work 18 ninutes before the first shkia and motzei shabbos doing work by the second shkia when it is completely dark. Since davening is rabbinical, we daven maariv 12 minutes before. The Baal Hatanyeh changed his view.
In the SA he paskens like the Rabbenu Taam whereas in his Siddur like the geonim where there is only one shkiah and 13 1/2 minutes is ben hashmoshos. Those who go by the Rabbenu Taam can daven Mincha until 58 1/2 minutes before his shkiah and then Maariv.Reb EliezerParticipantn0mesorah, look up the Rabbenu Taam Pesochim 94,1 about the two shkiyos as pasked in
SA O’CH 261,2. See the Minchas Kohen, Mavoh Hashemesh who paskens like the Rabbenu Taam. The Chasam Sofer paskens O’CH 80 like the Rabbebu Taam even erev shabbos lekulah.Reb EliezerParticipanthealth, government is there to provide help as a springboard to ones losing their jobs because of health or economic conditions as charity is a temporary help. Neither of them encourages to stop looking for work as mentioned above. Sometimes people need retraining as their jobs were lost forever. I took unemployment benefits but never welfare.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe goverment should support job training as the CETA program which I took advantage of.
Reb EliezerParticipanthealth, giving charity is an incentive not the work and let others give. You are as uncaring as Trump.
Why come to this world and earn your reward? In order not to get bread of shame.Reb EliezerParticipantRebbi Reb Yonasan says in Yaaros Devash that we say selach lonu avinu but mechal lonu ‘malkenu’ because if avinu, we would be a ben sorer umorei towards Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantHCQ must be given in the beginning and then it is questionable whether the risk of ill effect should be taken.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey asked the Klausenburger ztz’l why he dioes not find anything bad in Israel? He said I find the good and if I am busy with one mitzva, I an exempt from another mitzva.
Reb EliezerParticipantשולחן ערוך אורח חיים הלכות תפלה סימן קח סעיף ח
<ו> מי שלא התפלל בעוד שיש לו זמן להתפלל, מפני יא שסבור שעדיין ישאר לו זמן אחר שיגמור (כג) אותו עסק שהוא מתעסק בו, ובין כך ובין כך עברה לו השעה; * ט) ט’] וכן מי שהיה טרוד בצורך ממונו (כד) שלא יבא לידי הפסד, ועל ידי כך הפסיד מלהתפלל; י) וכן מי שהוא שכור ולא התפלל, כולם חשובים טז] אנוסים, ויש להם תשלומין. הגה: * <ז> מיהו לכתחלה לא יעבור זמן תפלה משום הפסד ממון (ת”ה סי’ ה’).The Magen Avraham there s’k 11 says that forgetting is an onas as the argument in Bava Kama 26,2 about the stone that he had on himself and got up forgetting it according to the Nemukei Yosef there.
Reb EliezerParticipantTosfas on 13,1 questions the accuracy of PI the ratiio between the circumderence and the diameter of a circle.
The Rambam on the mishnah 13,2 which uses the integral value of 3 based on the yam shel shlomo whose diameter was ten amos and ciircumference 30 says that since the value is not known exactly, so any value would not be correct, therefore 3 is taken as a rounded integral value. We use 22/7 or 3 1/7 to approximate it as the Ralbag there in Melachim 7,23. The GRA uses the pasuk to approximate its value by using the written וקוה and the read וקו taking the value of the written excluding the connective vov which is 111 and multuplying by the integral value of 3 for an adjustment which is 333 and dividing by the read value 106, 333/106 = 3.141509 which is correct to 3 decimal places as the value is 3.1415926. Maybe, we can improve on this value by using the conective vov and adjusting the value a little. 117 x 3 = 351 add to tbis the number of letters in the word 4 making it 355 and add a kolel of 1 to the denominator of 112 so we get 355/113 which is 3.1415929 known by the chinese a long time ago as a good approximation correct to 4 decimal places of 3.1416. The denominator has no letters added as they are not all the letters written and numerator has no kolel as it is not read.Reb EliezerParticipantakuperma,I think the opposite is true. Thw left liberals allow any religion whereas the red states are stuck on their non-jewish religion.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee the discussion at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/publicizing-kiddush-hashem
Reb EliezerParticipantProud, be proud and give Hashem the respect He deserves to refer to Him in a capital lettter!
August 25, 2020 7:21 pm at 7:21 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah: Ki Seitzei – Compassion and Cruelty, The Dual Nature Shiluach Hakan #1895590Reb EliezerParticipantWhen it comes to kibud av voaim, could be the long life is automatic. The Rav Abarbanel in Parashas Yisro explains that your children will see you honoring your parents, so they also will honor you which will elimnate all the headaches and give you long life.
Reb EliezerParticipanthealth, isn’t what you are saying a lie? Biden was advocating at the convention specially ‘MADE IN AMERICA’.
August 25, 2020 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm in reply to: any predictions on what will be with the economy? #1895476Reb EliezerParticipantAmil, how do you read the Republican platform when there is none?
August 25, 2020 1:09 pm at 1:09 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah: Ki Seitzei – Compassion and Cruelty, The Dual Nature Shiluach Hakan #1895461Reb EliezerParticipantWhy is ki yikorei written with an aleph rather than a heh,similarly in Parashas Vaychi asher yikro eschem beacharis hayomim? The question of the Chavas Yair 67 is, if he does not want the children, can he walk away?
There are three reasons for this mitzva: 1, to show mercy, 2, to protect the species (Chinuch), and 3, the Zohar, to symbolize the mother looking for its children (calling it achzoriyos above) which symbolizes the redemptiion. Axxording to the first two eeasons we should be able to walk a1ay but not the third. Sending away the mother and leaving the children is no mercy. Also the species are protected. To show hope for the redemptiion would still apply.
The means of bringing Meshiach requires speech. The Midrash says that emunah (krias shma), hishtachvoyo, tefila and learning misnayos will bring the redemption. This might be the implicatiion here of how to bring Meshiach.Reb EliezerParticipanthealth, you want anarchy in corporations behavior, vote for Trump.
Reb EliezerParticipantCTRebbe, There is a schar for tefila bezmana and another for tefila see SA O’CH 89,1 which one gains until chatzos.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rashba’s view iis that as we don’t make a bracha directly on krias shma, so we can say it by the zman and the brochos at davenen but the Rabbenu Aharon Halevi and the GRA say they are related and therefore krias shma must be said togerher with the brochos.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe zman of krias shma is an argument between the Magen Avraham and the GRA. First there is an argument in the length of the day. The Magen Avraham’s view is that the day starts from alos hashachar, dawn and ends at tzetz hakochovim, the coming out of the middle size stars. The GRA holds that the day starts at sunrise and ends at sunset. There is 72 min between dawn and sunrise. Also 72 min between sunset and tzetz hakochivim making the day according the Magen Avraham 12 hrs + 2 x 72 min or 12 hrs + 2 hrs + 24 min = 14 hrs and 24 min = 14.4 hrs. Divide 14.4 by 12 to find the shaos zmaniyos = 14.4/12 = 1.2. Zman of krias shma is 3 hours from alos hashachar 6 AM normal sunrise – 72 min = 6 – 1.2 = 4.8 + 3 x 1.2 = 4.8 + 3.6 = 8.4 which would be 8 + 2 x 12 min = 8 hr 24 min AM whereas according to the GRA is 6 AM + 3 hr 9 AM a difference of .6 or 36 min
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard until 9 min after shkia and as the Chasam Sofer start davening togerher wirh the shliach tzibur to be mekayem tefila betzibur.
