Wolf, does this answer your question?
I akewhut, I think because the kedusha is greater, so is the yetzer hara. If someoneis able to over come it. he wil shteig, elevate himself otherwise, fall.
When it comes to tefila, an expressiion of the heart, we say, רחמנא לבא בעי the heart is the most important. There is a story where a peasant came to shul, who did not know how to daven, decided to whistle. It was said that he opened up the heavens with this whistle because it came from the heart.
If we daven betzibur, Hashem accepts the tefila even it is improper, but beyochid the malochim accept it only if they understand it, as aramaic is not said beyochid because the malochim don’t care to understand it.
If you are alone, can you do bikur cholim for the opposite gender?
Milhouse, you are nitpicking . What is the purpose of Hachnosas Orchim. To make sure that a person who is alone has a place to eat and stay. Hachnosas Orchim is similar to bikur cholim part of chesed where I give credit to Satmar. Ths fact is that these people are alone and being alone reminds them of this fact and increases their pain.
GH, well said, even not keeping one disqualifies him from being Meshiach, besides in the Rambam Hilchas Melodhim it indicates that Meshiach iwill be a descendant of David Hamelech.
You can get a intel coompatable AMD 64 bit PC whidh is much cheaperr than the MAC .
Whatsaktome, Does Trump keep the Sheva Mitzvos to be Meshiach?
I learned that you get malochim from mitzvos but I never learned from tefilos. Yaakov Avinu sent malochim infront of him created from mitzvos.
The Chafetz Chaim says that we are adorning the crown of Hashem with precious stones with our tefilla and be careful not to be fake.
I did not say to invite every person, but if we show we care for lonely people, Hashem will make sure that we should never be lonely and need others help. It might even bring him/her closer to Hashem.
The Mdrash on Tehilim quoted by the Binah Leitim compares the creatiion of the world with chesed to a king who has storerooms of all goods he asks, what should I do with this? I will share this with my servants and they will praise me for it. As Hashem created the world for our benefit not His, we must similarly share our wealth and knowledge (teaching our Torah knowledge) to others. The praise encourages the continuation of bestowement of the goods. If one does not do that, it would have been better not be born as the neshoma was on an elevated level before being born.
Philosopher, your logic is what is called ostrich politics, where someone sticks her head in the sand, not caring for the other person as long as she can rest in her holy tower. Chanoch and Noach were held responsible for this type of behavior. not mixing with people. We have a responsibility not only on our elevation but on others.
The last day of Pesach we all eat gebrochs (misch) in order to be able to eat together.I am happy for you. Mazel Tov! It should turn into a wonderful union.
Philospher, Look at Avraham Avinu, three arabs come, it certainly did not elevate his aura of kedusha, but he still invited them because he thoughr that it was the righr thing to do. You must take the chance. If he/she doesn’t behave properly, you are exempt from inviting them again.
If not for a single caring family, I mostly would spend my shabbos alone.
There is a nice pshat from Rebbi Yonathan Eibshutz that, I heard, he said at his bar mitzva. He had two questions, Rebbi Yishmoel Omer, the name Yishmoel and that why it does not say Omar Rebbi Yishmoel as there is no argument on it? We know that Yishmoel did teshuva because he allowed at Avraham’s burial to precede Yitzchok, but the question is, that the Torah is not concerned with the order in the pasuk? If that is case then you cannot darshen a kelal uprat as the in Pesochim questuons, so in the same pasuk order matters and we can darshen a kelal uprat and Rebbi Yishmoel was named properly. Therefkre, from his name he was able to deduce to darshen a kelal uprat.
Philosopher, what is the meaning of the great mitzva of Hachnosas Orchim which is greater than the acceptance of the Shchina?
As I am thinking, maybe the chassidishe above are afraid of their behavior and not mine.
As mentioned before, I am alone now as my wife passed away nine years ago. There are six chassidish fanilies on my block, but to this very day, none of them has invited me. My chassidish rav invites me for every Yom Tov especially for Pesach seder.
Yesterday shabbos, I visited an older woman in a nursing home. We had a discussion of Torah pointing out why noshim are tzidkoniyos because the covering of their hair is for the benefit of the men as women among themselves would not have to do that.
Philosopher, there is a problem if the chasidishe sometimes must mix because they are not used to it. The divorce is less because the women have less desires for luxuries and they are satisfied with what the husband provides.
Philosopher, look at the Aruch Hashulchan about covering hair at davening, something that is done frequently wil not affect us anymore. People of opposite gender mix more and talk to each other more than used to, so they become immune to each other.
I heard in the name of one of the Rebbes maybe the Besht that Hashem enjoys our tefilos like a bird chirping.
knaidlach – thanks, that is what I meant.
Joseph, you are wrong. One this it says ודגלו עלי אהבה – על תקרא ודגלו אלא ודלוגו meaning that leaving out my mistake is accepted with love.
The one that comes to mind discussed previously in CR is yidmu kooven meaning similar, which should be yid’mu meaning silent.
Mentioned above the Rokeach who says mustard is allowed for Pesach provided not ground in a dish of chometz.
Is mustard a legume?
knaidlach, do you mean putting together a jigsaw puzzle?
Certain halachas are by their definition based on the place and times e.g. bechukosehem, but most are ever lasting.. Tosfas in Betzeh 6,1 questiions if times change, do the chazal’s gezerah disappear automatically because the reason for it is gone.
Maybe that is why there is no ayin horah in josef like fish as Rochel did not see her beauty.
Since women didn’t work outside of the house, she should be able to say, either I can buy whatever I want besides supporting you, or you supporr me and I will not work outside of the house.
I don’t know if this halacha applies currently as the wife sometimes earns more than the husband. They are willing to work in order to have a say in how to spend the money.
GH, bravo, nicely expressed. If you feel they are not behaving properly, tell them abour it with tact (the way you would want to be told) and they will welcome it.
It says that the number of .letters of a Sefer Torah is against the Bnei Yisroel. יש ששים רבוא אותיות לתורה – ישראל. All letters must be separated by white empty space מוקף גויל as every Jew is unique.
It says when one davens Shmonei Esrei he should keep his eyes below and his heart above. The RMA O’CH 98 says that we should keep the greatness of Hashem infront of us (in our hearts) and see our lowliness (looking down).
Takes2, Is working six days one of the 613 mitzvos? It means not shabbos but six days.
We can invite them like a BT and explain to them nicely the significance of shabbos.
Avi K, Look at Rashi that if we take anything from amolek, we have not desttoyed its memory. Rashi is clear, so I don’t know what the Minchas Chinuch’s 604 , problem is. It only applies after the coming of Meshiach because we currently don’t know who amolek is.
It should be ואהבת – שתהי שם שמים מתאהב על ידך the school should create students through whom Hashem will be beloved. If this does not occur, the school is messed up. The students should be examplary such that those seeing them will say, I also wanr to sent my child to this school.
From those that were not from Haman they still did not take anything, to show that they fought for the survival of Yiddishkeit and not for the booty.
Avi K, Haman is amolek where taking booty is forbidden as by Shaul.
Look at the Rav Sapurna Breishis (16,15) who says that the name Yishmoel was applicable because of both. Avraham davened for him whereas Hagar heard it from the Angel. It seems that Avraham called the name on his own because Hashem listened to his tefila Breishis (17,20).
As a side question, Rivkah was told, the older will serve the younger. Did Yaakov Avinu know this? The Maaseh Hashem explains the connection between Aisov asking to be served the lentil food and Yaakov Avinu wanting him to sell his birthrite. Yaakov Avinu said, if you, Aisov want me to serve you, I must be the older.
Thank you Syag for your reassurance.
Is a widow or widower ok? I am a widower, who lost his wife nine years ago, appreciate being invited to a shabbos table.
People get a president they deserve. If they elect Trump again, they deserve him.
I thnk monopoly is assur not because of money which is play money but it looks like doing business on shabbos.
Syag can you be more specific?
