Joseph, if justified, why lie about it and why get fired?
Why was he fired?
A lot is equivakent to much.
If Flynn had nothing to hide why did he lie to the FBI and the VP about talking to the Russians related to the lifting of the ssnctions imposed by Obama? He might have violated the Logan Act, a private citizen communicating on behalf of the US with a foreign official.
A person does not plead guilty when he is innocent but he might be covering for someone.
Are you famIliar with the Marik on chukas akum? If there is a reason for it there is no chukas akum. The consideration once might be a reminder for everyday.
With this I explained the comparison of the bitter spring water to the Torah were a bitter tree was thrown into it and it became sweet. A person learns a piece of gemora and he is unable to understand it being completely confused such that it is so bitter that he can’t even ask a kashye. Hashem gives him heavenly help and he is able to ask a kashye which without an answer is also bittter, but it helps him to get an answer and now it becomes sweet.
The RMA paskens in SA O’CH 146,4 to stand at the leining of the Torah to remember Kabolas Hatorah as if it happened today. אשר אנכי מצוך היום – בכל יום יהי-ה בעינך כחדשים see it as something new every day. We can find simething new in the Torah every day. The Chasam Sofer explains that the chidushim are hidden in the Torah and through a heveanly help one can reveal it. The Hafloah says that a kashye is a siyata dishmaya. He demonstrates this with a mashel, A simple person is given a diamond. He does not see what he can do with it, so he goes to a goldsmith to cover it in gold. He is no expert, so he leaves some holes around. The simple person sees the gold but the clever one sees the diamond. So Hashem provides us with kashye through it we are able to reveal what is hidden in the Torah.
There is a very interesting Rabbenu Bachye in Parasahas Ki Siso on the expressiion of the gemora חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני first a joke from the Ben Ish Chai, people when they have no money, sit and learn. Now he explains that originally the mishna left things out on purpose as it was understood when left out. You were only allowed to write down what was necessary for understanding. As the generations became weaker, the gemora came about and more elaborations were necessary and so on. They say about Rav Nasan Adler ztz’l that he had a photographic memory so he only required to place a dot in the margin. We only know things from him from his talmidim.
When we add to something, we show is incomplete. By adding to the Torah we are taking away from it.
Look at the Peila Yoetz on Darshon ויאמר בועז אל הקוצרים ה’ עמכם we accomplish more by cutting Dvar Torahs short.
Joseph, what did the president’s dismissal of the effect of the virus for around two months do?
In the News, when making a minyan, this is the way to behave. See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/1856652/quebec-chassidish-familys-thoughtfulness-touches-non-jewish-neighbors.html
There is also a fascinating Sefer Hachinuch mitzva 187, who explains that we don’t cover the blood of a behama because it went on the mizbeach as an atonement whereas most birds were not sacrificed with wild animals, so there blood did not go on the mizbeach being considered life which was put out, must be covered like being burried to show our dismay for death.
As we are talking about fascinating peshatim, there is a fascinating Ramban this parasha on וחי בהם. He says that the rewards are provided according to the purpose for doing mitzvos. If someone does mitzvos to gain olam hazeh, he will be rewarded accordingly. If he does mitzvos for olam habo, his rewards will be set aside for olam habo. If he does mitzvos for itself, he will gain both worlds.

\Who is this Minchas Ariel which I cannot find?
Intentional release does not make any sense. They will not infect themselves intentionally.
One who elaborates on the halachos of cooking in great detali, see the Minchas Kohen, Mishmeres Hashabbos, SHaar Hasheni with 8 perokim in it.
I don’t know your problen as this thread is in decaffeinated coffee.
People might not have the above sefer so I am stating his conclusion as follows:
שו”ת יחוה דעת חלק ג סימן עו
בסיכום: הנוהג להפריש מעות מעשר ממשכורתו, ומכל רווחיו, רשאי לנכות מדמי המעשר, דמי פרנסת וכלכלת בניו ובנותיו הגדולים היתרים על גיל שש שנים, ואפילו הם סמוכים על שלחנו. וכן רשאי לסייע ממעות מעשר בהוצאות נישואי בניו ובנותיו, כגון לצורך דירה ורהיטים וכיוצא בזה, כדי שיוכלו לבנות את ביתם. וכל שכן כשבניו ממשיכים לעסוק בתורה בכוללים הרבים אשר נתברכנו בהם, וכן כשבנותיו נישאות לתלמידי חכמים השוקדים באהלה של תורה, שמצוה גדולה היא לפרנסם בכבוד, וצדקה גדולה היא, והקרוב קרוב קודם. (וראה באור זרוע הלכות צדקה סימן כ”ב, כ”ג, כ”ו). ומה טוב ומה נעים שהרוצה להפריש מעשר מכל רווחיו, וממשכורתו, יתנה מראש במפורש לפני שיבוא לו הריוח או המשכורת, שיוכל לעשות במעות המעשר כל מצוה שירצה כפי ראות עיניו. ואם לא התנה כן בפירוש, יעשה התרה בפני שלשה על שלא אמר שהוא מפריש המעשר בלי נדר, ואחר שיתירו לו, יתנה התנאי הנ”ל. ואם שעתו דחוקה מבחינה כלכלית, ואין ידו משגת לנהוג מעשר כספים מכל משכורתו או רווחיו, יתנה מראש שיתן המעשר רק לאחר ניכוי הוצאות ביתו. אבל מי שחננו ה’ בעושר, וידו משגת, יאחז צדיק דרכו לתת כל המעשר לעניים ולאביונים ולעמלי תורה ולישיבות הקדושות. ועץ חיים היא למחזיקים
.בה ותומכיה מאושרLook at the Yechaveh Daas (3,76) from Rav Ovadyah Josef.
The Shach’s view is that you are only suppose to support your children until age 6.
I would like to here also more about people who were sent home from hospital and were taken off the ventilator.
To disseminate Torah, discuss halachic issues and political toics.
abukspan, isn’t this a duplicate?
חכמים הזהרו בדבריכם a president must be careful what he says or he does not say. People put their trust in him.
abukspan, I have to apologize that I misread your vort. I am talking about one thing and you are talking about another. You are talking about someone who has not personally hurt you and you hate him for doing an aveira and I am talking about someone who harmed you, so you hate him. אלו ואלו דברי אלקים חיים they are both true.
See Rambam Hilchas Deas (6,6) about resolving the hatred by telling about it and if you want to make peace with your full heart, he will not hate you for it.
We have to resove the fakeness שלום אל רעהו ידבר ובקרבו ישים ארבו don’t act like a friend by speaking nicely and plan against him in your heart but tell him about your feelings inside.
The reason that hatered in the heart and admonishment are two separate mitzvos is that admonishment can exist without doing him any personal harm as the gemora says in Shabbos 55,1. Even though we should not hate our fellow Jew, people are human and Torah recognizes this and wants us to resolve our feelings by telling him about it and not stop talking to each other, which will bring to peace.
It should be above, the reason you should not hate him.
Another situation of sinas chinom, futile hatred, as pointed out in the above Yad Yosef when a person has an unexcusable hatred where you cannot even tell him about it. Jealousy is an example, where you cannot tell him, I hate you because I am jealous of you, so the hatred is kept bottled up in the heart.
It does not say in Kedoshim you are not allowed to hate. It says, don’t keep your hatred bottled up in your heart but tell him about it which will resolve the hatred as the Rashbam points out. If you hate him without telling him about it is sinas chinom as the Yad Yosef on the Ein Yaakov Yoma 9, indicates. The reason you should not him is as the Sefer Hachinuch under lo sukam, don’t take revenge,says because he is only a shaliach of Hashem who is not directly causing your grief.
I am explaining the Ksav Sofer that Moshe Rabbenu figured that his children will put more effort in their learning.
From your vort above something was missing. It did not explain why they did not want to have children.
Maybe because of lack of time, Moshe Rabbenu overestimated his children and expected more from them.
The Kol Aryeh, a talmid of the Chasam Sofer, explains the idea that the neshama wants constantly to return to its source. There are two things which hold it back, one fear and two the yetzer hara. Over here, there was no mitzva involved, so no yetzer hara. They performed their sacrifice completely from love. This is the meaning that their closeness to Hashem made them die. He expains another reason why the kohen gadol needed bells on his shirt. To wake him up from getting into a trance because of love.
I wil try to put their drinking in a good light. They wanted to do the avodah with simcha, so they drank wine which also brought them to make mistakes. There error was that simcha should come from the avodah itself.
