Peace strenghtens tbe rashaim, so we must chase it and break it up whereas by the ztadikim it brings love and unity so we must strive to create it.
When it comes to ztadikim love peace but for rashaim hate peace.
abukspan, the Ksav Sofer right there in the beginning of Parashas Emor that sometimes, when it comes to rashoim, you work on breakng up peace, be radef shalom, as I mentioned from the Maharam Shik above to trump peace by truth.
There iwas a question by rhe Maharam Shik by the reform movement, what comes first, peace or truth? It says to love truth (first) and then peace. However. I heard from the Meharal, that peace is the name of Hashem but truth is the stamp and the name comes before the stamp.
In SA O’CH 128,35 says the Mechaber that a Kohen who killed someone even beshogeg and did teshuva should not duchen. So Pinchas required permission to do the Avodah.
The Rav Abarbanel explains that Pinchas required the two rewards. Since he did not inherit the kehuna gedola as he was alive when his father Elozor became one, he had to be promised that his children will inherit it. Also, if one kills, the gaol hadom can revenge it, so he had to be protected.
Rashi explains that Pinchas deserves his just rewards. The Dubner Magid gives a mashel for Hakoras Hatov. There was a wholesaler who hired a young apprentice stipulating that he only gets room and board without a salary, Once, a retailer came on Purim in the middle of the sudah. The proprietor pushed him away telling him come tomorrow as we are in the middle of a sudah, The young man offered to help him. The wholesaler asked afterwards the young man, what do I owe you for your salary? Didn’t we agree that I don’t get paid just room and board, he asked. He told him, until now I thought that food is valuable to you but as you were willing to give it up for my business, I have to give you something that you will appreciate. The nimshal is, we are unable to thank Hashem enough for our healthy life without worries but Pinchas sacrificed his life for the name of Hashem, so he deserves a reward valuable to him.
The above question was asked from dodtors who said yes they should wear a mask as we don’t know enough about the immunity one has.
I heard once that when a fish is out of water it looks likes it is jumping around like it is enjoying itself, but it is realy dying. Similarly, it looks like peoole without Torah are enjoying themselves but they are realy dying.
You know the Midrash that Hasatan is 364 as he has no control for one day.

The Maasei Hashem explains the connection of the selling of the birthrite to the request of the lentils. Yaakov Avinu knew what was told to his mother Rivkah. The elder will serve the younger.He said, if you want me to serve you by giving you lentils, I need to be the older.There is a nice gematria Yisroel (541) adds up to Yaakov (182) plus satan (359) encompassing the powers of his adversary after defeating him.
Thw GRA explains that there is a difference between imom and itom. Imom is the same mindset. He can go itom but not imom.
There is a saying, let sleeping dogs lie. There is a pasuk in Mishlei (26,17) quoted by the Midrash Rabba (75,3) in indicating that yaakov Avinu should have never be concerned with Aisov and fight a battle that does not apply to him like grabbing on to a dogs ear that is running away. The Binah Leitim says that vayiro Yaakov meod vayetzer lo, Yaakov Vavinu had pain that he was afraid of Aisov in the first place.
The question is if we thank Hashem for what He gives us or who gives it to us. If a great individual gives a present, even the smallest anount is a appreciated. Similarly, Hashem judges the mitzvos we do on our level and not His what we are responsible towards Him.
Can you explain to me the connection to the Klei Yokor?
The Klei Yokor uses the rule, opposites react. The daf tomorrow Shabbos 111,1 putting vinegar on a tooth when hurting heals otherwise it is detrimental.
My question was why didn’t King Solomon think of it? Maybe, tne questiion is why doesn’t the efer metamei tbe water?
leMaan Achai, look at the Klei Yokor in Parashas Chukas on umazei mei hanidah which explains its contradiction.
When it came to stop the plauge, it was Aharon who did it because that was done to heal. The Rashbam says that the katoras which kills if done by other than kohanim, heals when they are kohanim who are suitable for the avodah.
huju, that is shellac.
Protesters were wearing masks but not rally people.
This pshat is troublesome. The Targum Yanoson says that Moshe Rabbenu worried about Yehashua because of his humility. This pshat emphasizes their gaiva and not their humility. Maybe, the Meraglim felt that they are not worthy to benefit Hashem’s intervention so they have to do everything by themselves as they have exhausted all their zechusim but the geula is not tied to worthiness as it was a promise to the Avos. Once they entered EY now they had to be worthy to keep it.
Ina646, thank you for recommending the sefer Avoda Berura. It brings all the commentaries making the inyan more understandable. I was not familiar with the sefer. Some available at http://www.hebrewbooks.org.
The Turei Aven and Yom Teria.
leMaanAchai, Look at the Daas Zekenim of Tosfas about the implication of tbe missing yud tbat he was humble in all his body.
I can give situatiions where the talmidei chachomim are moving their Beis Hamedrash to learn and lunch outside or have a business meeting outside.
At the time of the Jerushalmi it was improper to eat outside for talmidei chachomim but they were not pasul leeidus currently it is dangerous to eat inside with other than the family, it becomes acceptable for them to eat outside.
Joseph, look at the Bach ב”ח חושן משפט סימן לד
והוא דאינו פסול לעדות אלא בדאית ביה תרתי דאוכל בשוק בפני הכל וגם בשעת אכילה הולך ואוכל ואינו יושב במקום אחדI asked a Posek who agreed with me.
What the gemora is talking about buying a sandwich and walking and eating. I don’t think seating outside on a bench and eating, a picnic with the family, is included in this restriction.
With zos which is 408. There is a Midrash which asks what is an atonement for a sinner? The Torah says to bring a karbon like a Aharon above.
It should above Kidushin 40,2. Sitting outside at a table is certainly not included in this restriction as the reason above does not apply.
I reviewed the halachas in Kidushin 409,2, SA CHM 34,18 where it was considered demeaning oneself to eat on the street so they compared him to a dog and was paasul leedus. When he does not care about himself, he will not care about telling the truth. Currently this is set up for the purpose of enjoying the fresh air and even talmidei chachomim eat in this environment outside in a restaurant, so the halachas don’t apply.
