Reb Eliezer

The Meiri says that the finding of pitcher in itself was a neis the first day. This encourages us to learn Torah which is compared to the lighting of the oil. The Chasam Sofer explains that we are mechadesh new findings hidden in the Torah. The Hafloah says that a kashye is heavenly intervention. He compares this to a simple person who finds a diamond. He goes to a goldsmith telling him to cover it in gold as he enjoys seeing gold. The goldsmith is not an expert, so he lives some holes. The simpleton only sees the gold but the smart one sees the diamond besides the gold. Through the kashye the diamond gets revealed. This can also be compared to the well that was bitter and they added a bitter tree and it became sweet. The Torah sometimes is bitter because of lack of understanding. Through Hashem’s intervention we throw in it a bitter tree, a kashye, which is bitter without an answer but when we find an answer, it becomes sweet. Reb Moshe ztz’l says that the fact that oil burns is the neis.

The Ksav Sofer explains that whether by Chanukah we are obligated to relight it when the candles go out is dependent on the two answers above of the Beis Yosef. If we say that they divided the oil into eight parts, we are obligated to relight as an eight can burn a little, so the neis was that it burned longer. In order to commemorate the neis we must make it burn long. Whereas if they poured in the whole oil for the second they it could not have burned even a little if something was not left over, so even burning a little is a neis and therefore we commemorate the neis by not relighting it.

adverb, The RMA says not for saving money. It is not better to make a phone call as putting out fire is a
מלאכה שאינה צריכה לגופה. We have אדם בהול על ממונו caring for his money he might do bigger issur.

Does who say maarovis (yotzros), why don’t we say it on Yom Tov falling on Shabbos? The reason is interesting. The RMA in SA O’CH 275,2 says that (based on the fact there was no electricity before but candle light) he might fix it to make it light better because he is not familiar with the text. We had above Shabbos 12,2 that Rebbi Yishmoel ben Alisha said that he made a note to indicate when the Beis Hamikdash will be rebuilt, he will bring a ‘fat’ chatos. The Magen Avraham paskens like that.  Why? I heard from the Yismach Moshe, there are satisfying a person’s hunger either throgh food or through music. When you use music and you want to distract, it better be a very good one.
Similarly, we have no Beis Hamikdash, so we are currently mekayem by wanting to bring it, so lets want to bring a fat one.

This is a correction to reply #1840405 should be SA O’CH 108,8

The RMA says in SA O”CH 334,26 that currently, if necessary, we are allowed to put out a fire on shabbos as it endangers everyone.

The Ran in the beginning of Perek Kira explains that the covering of the coals can be done partially because it is a haker, reminder not to touch it to make it burn better. We put a metal plate, blech on the gas as a reminder so even if we don’t cover the knobs, it acts as a reminder.

The Nemukei Yosef in Bava Kama 22, asks according to the view that fire is harmful as an arrow by constantly renewing itself, how can we light shabbos candles? He answers, as long as she lights erev shabbos, ir is considered completed erev shabbos. The karoim who did not allow to use fire burning on shabbos held like the kashye, therefore, it is a requirement to eat warm food on shabbos.

כל הפוסל את התרומה מטמאה משקה להיות תחלה a sheni letuma would make teruma a shlishi and no further will make fluids be a rishon. The SA O’CH 158,4 if someone dunks anything in seven fluids that is machshir יד,שחט,דם
ייו,דבש,שמן,חלב,טל,דם,מים wine, honey, oil, milk, dew, blood and water should wash his hand before. We don’t follow this halacha except by the Pesach seder. The Taz O’CH 473 questions why is the peasch night different? Some say that the children have something else to ask. Maybe, this reminds us as a symbol of redemption and the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash when these laws will be relevant.

Rebbi Yishmoel ben Elishah read through candle light, saying I will read and not bend and fix but he ended up doing it. He said כמה גדולים דברי חכמים שאמרו לא יקרא לאור הנר how great are chazal who said not to read by candle light. Explains the GRA that the greatness of chazal was that they did not reveal the reason for the prohibition. Once the person knows the reason he tends to rationalize by saying that it does not apply to him. King Solomon married multiple women indicating that he can watch out and they won’t sway him away from Hashem but at end they did. He rationalized as he knew the reason but others did not as they did not know the reason.

This idea to notify when one gives something to his friend is to spread good feelings and peace creating unity.
It could be implied in the pasuk in Mishlei (3,27) אל תמנע טוב מבעליו don’t withhold good from its rightful recipient. The person giving something to an other deserves hakoras hatov, good and if he does not know it, he cannot provide it.
The Ohr Hachaim on the pasuk אני ה’ מקדישכם says that through the shabbos we see the greatness of our neshomo that even though how great shabbos is but the neshomo is greater. The Chasam Sofer explains how the neshomo is the greatest. The mishkan was the holiest place but it cannot be built on shabbos, so shabbos is greater than the mishkan. But the protection of live supersedes the holiness of shabbos. Therefore the neshomo is the greatest holiness. I made a kal vochomer, if one takes out the wrong Sefer Torah by mistake we have him find the place rather than put it back because we will say that the Sefer Torah is pasul and the holiness of it only emanates because of a Jew with a neshomo who wrote it, so how much do we have to watch out not to denigrate a Jew who has a neshomo, a chelek elokai mimaal himself.

There is an argument between the Meharal and Maharam Shick what comes first if there is a conflict between אמת and שלום.
The Maharam Shick says that אמת comes first based on the pasuk אמת ושלום אהבו whereas the Meharal says that שלום comes first because it is the name of Hashem whereas חותמו של הקב’ה אמת emes is the stamp of Hashem and the name comes before the stamp.

If someone procrastinates with mincha in the middle of some work saying I wll still will have time to daven and meanwhile the time runs out says in SA O’CH 98,8 and MA s’k 11 is considered forgotten which is accidental and he can daven two shmonei esreis for maariv. This argument is brought by the Nemukei Yosef Bava Kama 24 about someone having a stone on himself and falls asleep and when he gets up someone else gets hurt when he stands up. A field in a walled city must be redeamed in a year and waits to the last minute and then forgets it is it accidental?
