    We say it with a segol as it is in Artscrol Sidurim. The Chasam Sofer questions it should have said במאמרו? He answers that it refers to our abilities we can also accomplish with our mouths. To explain what he means, the targum on ויפח באפיו נשמת חיים, Hashem blew in him soul of life, says the ability to speak. Now if someone blews, he blews from himself. If Hashem has the abilities to create things with His mouth, then we should also be able to do that, but we have besmudged our mouths.

    I think that shema only refers to the first parasha whereas krias shema refers to all three.
    The pasuk תהלים פרק מ
    אַתָּ֤ה יְדֹוָ֗ד לֹא־תִכְלָ֣א רַחֲמֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּ֑נִּי חַסְדְּךָ֥ וַ֝אֲמִתְּךָ֗ תָּמִ֥יד יִצְּרֽוּנִי:
    You, Hashem don’t stop with providing mercy to me, Your favor and Your truth should constantly protect me.
    This refers to the Torah. The daf yomi will provide through searching of the truth, mercy and chesed from Hashem., It adds up to 2711 as the number of dapim in shas.

    klugeryid, if the two things are different (looking and mixing) then the Rambam is contradicting himself. In the commentary on the Mishnayos Sukkah (5,2) he says שלא יסתכלו whereas in Hilchas Lulav (8,12) says שלא יתערבו.

    klugeryid, why does Reb Moshe ztz’l come to the conclusion that Rashi and the Rambam in Sukkah are arguing? Maybe Rashi might hold that if you stare. you will mix, so if you see through is not a kosher mechitza as the Tosfas Yom Tov?

    klugeryid, Doesn’t a shul have a responsibility to build it the proper way that the women should not be seen? Are the women right when they say don’t look?

    klugeryid, Reb Moshe ztz’l uses this logic, don’t look, even though in a shul because of its sanctity the yetzer hara is stronger.
    The following are the words:
    שו”ת אגרות משה אורח חיים חלק א סימן מ
    בכל מקום שהוא דין על האנשים שלא יסתכלו בהן כמו ברחובות ואם יש מי שיעבור ויסתכל בכוונה לראות ליהנות אין אנו אחראין להם

    The Klei Yokor in Parashas Devorim on פנו לכם צפונה saiys that it happens because of jealousy. Aisov is jealous on Yaakov and therefore, hates him, so we should not show off in galus but act it a hidden way.

    There is a apparent argument between Rambam, Tosefos Yom Tov one view and Rashi about a mechitza what is its purpose. Rashi says not to mix whereas the Tosfas Yom Tov says not to stare. What happens when it is good for separation but not for looking being not tall enough or with holes in it? Reb Moshe ztz’l says that as long it separates and don’t look. There was a ruling in 1866 by the abour 200 rabonim, in a place callled Mihelowiz, that in a shul not having a proper Mechitza where the men can see the women, one should not daven there even if he must daven on his own Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

    Look how Trump is dismantling the ACA health care. First gets rid of the mandate in his tax law, then he says now you have no mandate, so the rest is no good without a mandate and therefore it should be abolished.

    The above is from the Sefer Peninim Yekorim in the lekutim on Maseches Brochos, also explaining a talmid chacham should have an eight of an eight, 8(8) = 64, 6+4 =10, 1+0=1 the smallest integral number. I said to remember the need for the ס’ד 64 סיעתא דשמיא – ר”ת

    8 is the most powerful number lemaaleh min hatevah, as the mispar katan of Hashem, bris, Chanukah, Pesach, sukkos.
    8 (1) =8, 8(2) = 16, 1+6 = 7, 8(3) = 24, 2+4 = 6, 8(4) = 32, 3+2 =5 and so on going down to 1 and starting up with 9 then 8 and so on
    26(1)=26, 2+6=8, 26(2)=52, 5+2=7,26(3)=78, 7+8=15, 1+5=6 and so on

    Maybe, Trump is the traitor whose policies endanger our national security? His experienced advisers quit on him because they can’t take his tunnel vision policies living the Kurds in Syria and Ukrane hanging. We have a Hungarian saying, don’t throw out the dirty water until you have clean. Don’t break treaties until you have replacements. We are more in danger than ever with North Korea, Russia, China and Iran.

    Elchonon, I think the Rambam in the Moreh Nevuchim, the Malbim quoted above, the Sefer Habris believe that it is a mitzva to reconcile if we can. The Ramban by orlah says that treifos are not healthy. We have a rule עולם כמנהגו נוהג. The gemora in Shabbos at story of the man nursing, one view is how ugly it is that nature had to change for him because he will lose his zechusim. Something like Darvin’s theory is against modern science as Newton said I am standing on great shoulders indicating that peiple before him were smarter. The Klei Yokor in Parashas Chukas uses the theory of Newton before him, opposites react by explaining the functioning of the parah aduma to a certain extent.

    Kvitlach – you must get 21 to win, if you stop and the banker deals and catches up (more or equal) he wins. If you have twenty one, you say twenty one and you win before the banker deals . If you or the banker have more than 21 they lose.

    CS, Are you speaking from knowledge? The Rambam says at the end of 17th Perek of Hilchas Kiddush Hachodash that when it comes to Math, we can rely on the goyim because a logical proof is impartial towards religion. Look at the sefer Habris from the 18th century encompassing all the knowledge of his time. So, we cannot generalize but everything must be judged on its merit. When it comes to classics, read a summary by google it, and then decide.
