    Some are fanatic and don’t allow abortions in any case even when the mother is in danger when a child is a rodaf as long it is not viable. See the last mishna in the 7th perek in Oholas and the Rambam Hilchas Rotzeiach 1,9.

    No one supports abortion. only they are not against. it. It is up to the mother to decide if it is necessary. The rich are always able to get abortions by traveling to a place were it is allowed, but the poor will endanger themselves
    by doing it a precarious environment.

    If you want a real maris ayin, lighting a menorah oil or candles inside and placing an electric menorah in the window.

    To demonstrate the above. the Chasan Sofer passed away at 48 years old. He was the grandfather of Rav Shmuel Ehrenfeld ztz’l who passed away at 89. So when they will be resurrected, they will say on the 48 year old that he is the grandfather of the 89 year old which will make us laugh.

    I said the above as a joke to interpret אז ימלא שחוק פינו we will start laughing when the younger looking will be identified as the grandfather of the older looking.

    The above question should be, how did Avraham Avinu keep shabbos? בן נח ששבת חייב מיתה. The answer above is not so obvious. For a Jew, motzoei shabbos is the next day, but for a non-jew it is shabbos since the night follows the day.

    חנוכה – ח נרות והלכה כבית הלל covers all the controversies about Chanukah discussed above. Even though there was oil for one day, we light eight candles by increasing in kedusha as the neis increased as the days went on.

    Shemaya and Avtalon were converts/ Rav Akiva was decsendent of converts who waa included in the ten martyrs murdered by the romans because of the selling of Joesf in place of Hashem. Nine tribes sold Yowef with the inclusion of Hashem in his judgement.

    Chiyuv on the tzibur is to make sure ten people listen to the leining but I don’t have to worry that people will learn from me as long they are listening now. By tefila, I have an individual chiyuv, so if ten people llisten, I could learn, if not that others will follow my lead. By leining, I don’t have a responsibility to worry about the future.

    Joseph, There is a difference between leining and tefila. Tefila is a chiyuv on each individual whereas leining is a chiyuv on the tzibur (except for megilla). Therefore, if ten people listen to leining , you can learn quietly, but not at tefila.

    No, the problem is that others will follow your lead and also learn and there will not be ten people answering.

    A student asks his rebbe for a certification of his accomplishments in the yeshiiva. The rebbe signed it at the bottom of the page. The studeht asked why, he said it says, מדבר שקר תרחק from a lie further yourself/.

    Chasan Sofer became chassidish. The Viener Rav,. Rav Lebovits, ztz’l also my rebbe, pronounded it as ee chassidish. The yeshiva also turned chassidish. You are right . It ia confusing. It proves there should be a difference, so I say it like the german uber. No mistake is made in laining by the chassidim. The litvishe say oo.
    I also learned by Rav Simcha Bunim ztz’l but I don’t remember his pronunciatiion.

    Joseph, what you saying is not true. My rebbe the previous Matersdorfer Rav ztz’l had a pronounciation a hungarian u with dots on top. I don’t think it exists in english for male and ee for female. It exists in german as uber, over.

    It says in Tehilim כי גמר חסיד The Szombathelyi Rav, Rav Katz ztz’l said that the Chasidim believe that they need no improvement, they are complete, once they are a chasid but the opposite needs to be true/ They are more scrutinized being a chasid.

    The chassidish pronounciation iof ee over oo is a problem because it does not distinguish between male and female. How does a chassidish cow go? mee mee instead of moo moo.

    The Rambam questions if Hashem’s knowledge affects our free choice. He answers that it is beyond our understanding that it does not. I think Hashem knows how our mind operates and what our final decision will be without affecting our decision.

    Someone came to a litvishe gadol telling him, I don’t have time to learn. He told him to learn mussar and then you will find time.

    The question is what comes first Torah or avodah. The Litvish hold that Torah brings to avodah whereas the chassish hold that avodah betaharah brings to the burn to learn Torah. The best is to be a chassidish litvak which instills the burning for Torah.

    It says להגיד בבקר חסדך ואמונך בלילות to tell your favor in the morning and belief at night. The meforshim explain when its going good, we can see the benevolence of Hashem, but when things are going badly, the only thing we can rely on is the belief in Hashem.

    איזהו עשיר השמח בחלקו if a person appreciates what he has to gain the most benefit out of it, and does not desire what others have, will find fulfillment and happiness in his life. עשיר stands for עינים. שנים, ידים, רגלים.

    Admor stands for אדונינו מורינו ורבינו could be a Rav who paskens shalos or a Rebbi who has chasidim. A Rav is not an inheried position but a Rebbi is, if no sons exist, the son in law usually inherits the position.

    It satisfies chasidish yeshivas which learn in yiddish as I did. When I am asked to speak Torah infront of a goup, I ask them, what language they want me to speak. Personally, I rather speak in yiddish.
