Meno, I don’t get it. Why can’t you donate one kidney?
Meno, did you see the reference above in Yechaveh Daas 3,84 from Rav Ovadya Yosef ztz’l?
On Purim we say ארור המן ברוך מרדכי on Chanukah there is argument between Beis Shamai and Beis Hilel how to light. Is the destructiion of our enemies or salvation of us greater? The gematria for Purim is the same, but ארור is greater than המן indicating that he diminished, whereas ברוך is less than מרדכי indicating he was elevated. The Beis Hilel emphasizes the elevation of the spirit whereas the Beis Shamai the dimishment of the phisical and material. The Maasei Hashem says on the Haggadah of Pesach on והקב’ה מצילנו מידם and HKBH saves us from their hands, saving is greater than destruction. Saving proofs that Hashem loves us, but their destruction does not prove we are good only that they are bad.
The dreidel has גשנה – נס גדול היה שם gematria משיח what about EY? נגהפ – נס גדול היה פה gematria צמח.
Purim is Kabolas Hatorah for Torah Shebeksav (GUF) where as Chanukah according to the Yaaros Devash and Chasam Sofer is Kabolas Hatorah onTorah Shebaal Peh (Neshomo). The tuma was a tuma derabonon which through the neis was reinforced.I think the Baal Hatanya says ואהבת לרעך כמוך you should love your fellow man like you, he is just like you, he also has a chelek elokai mimaal, a neshomo.
It says literally והייתם נקיים be clean.
The Ben Ish Chai says, עבירה stands for הב ירע when someone says constantly, give me, is and will be bad.
It is the question of the Taz why on Purim the emphasis is on mishteh vesimdha whereas Chanukah lehodos ulehalel? He explains, that on Purim, Haman wanted to destroy their body but Chanukah, the yevonim wanted to destroy their soul. It says in Pirkei Avos, wild animal comes to the world for swearing falsely. Asks the Binah Leitim, why it says comes to the world? He answers that the person not speaking properly, himself, turns into a wild animal, so it is important for us on Chanukah to cleanse ourselves spiritually by cleansing our mouths.
devny, Rav Chaim Shlita agrees with me to stop learning and the husband should light himself,
see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1813010/rav-chaim-kanievsky-shlita-on-chanukah.htmlsyag, A smart person knows what he does not know and will not argue.
Syag – Did you see the WAPO that the Ukranean election interference is a russian Putin talking point which never happened?
huju, see Yechaveh Daas 3,84 discussing this question in detail.
syag, two wrongs don’t make a right. If there is an investigation, we should do it here and not in Ukrane, we don’t spread out our dirty laundry.
Obama never gave military assistance to Ukrane, so we can argue whether it was good or bad, but Trump, who gave before why dd he stop giving? Was it because Biden became his opponent?
After Shabsei Tzvi both the GRA and the Noda Beyehudah were afraid that the chassidim will revitalize him.
When it comes to the economy look at the national debt?
klugeryiid, why did he give Ukrane aid before Zelinky to a corrupt president?
Clinton had a big yetzer hara but he did not curse in public, make fun of handicapped people and speak on the dead.
The reform argument is that the times have changed, but the Torah is above time. It maybe implied in איש עיתי המדברה a person going after the times, belongs in the desert.
קבעת עתים לתורה translated to steal time for learning Torah.
I think the Ran was an add on with the Rif. Many gemoras don’t have it. The Rosh is earlier in time than the Maharsha. The Maharsha is primarily on Tosfas or Agodas of the gemora complicated to learn because of its conciseness. The other meforshim came later in time. When it comes to halacha, when two of the three, Rif, Rambam and Rosh agree, Rav Yosef Karo, the mechaber of the Shulchan Aruch, paskens like them. The Rosh escaped to Spain, so the sefardim accept him also.
The acronym for the six mishnayos sedorim is זמן נקט to grab on to time and don’t waste it.
עת לעשות לה’ הפרו תורתך when we make time for Hashem (meaning I stiil have time to do a mitzva), will eventually not be done. Midrash Shmuel
CR Birthday People, To give a brocho surely not affecting bechira, Hashem Yisborach should give you the knowledge and proper understanding to do what is His ratzon and does nachas ruach for Him.
לראש – לעשות רצון אבינו שבשמיםWhen it comes to bechira will say what Reb Moshe ztz’l said in his teshuva when it comes to raising children, rewording it, it should be half perspiration and half inspiration. Put in your effort and daven that it should bear fruits. So our bracha is that after you put in your effort in your desire, it should bear fruits.
GH, the question of the litvak was if he was a mazik? How are you so sure he is responsible?
GH, There was a yekke who asked, was it baked well?
Goldilocks. it does not say drench it oil which is unhealthy, when the minhag was established, there was no air fryer which happens to use some oil.
Trump is not one to learn from how to respect the dead.
Someone tweeted, for once in his life Trump got something he earned.
Tastes differ. I don’t like sour cream and like apple sauce.
Why woud it be assur? The mitzva of eating healthy should override any issur.
Another suggestion for english translated seforim new Daroshes Horan from Artscroll.
To have a happy marriage, think of the mezuza. Some say to place it vertically and others say to place it horizantilly, so we make a compromise and place it slented. Similarly, marriage will need much compromise. It is called nisuyin meaning elevate. To have a happy marriage, you must place each other on a pedestal.
worldwatcher, everything is not so simple. It matters why you are unhappy. If you are unhappy being alone, marriage will help you, otherwise, it might not.
Not producing witnesses and documents is similar to killing the parents and screaming, I am an orphan, so don’t touch me.
syag, how do you explain Trump’s pattern of behavior and his own admissions? הודעת בעל דין כמאה עדים דמי
About pressure ond Zelinsky, when you push someone to the wall strong enough, eventually he will scream ‘uncle’. He was afraid to say I was pressured in order not to anger Trump.
As the moderaton in CR, we would need a hechshar on the books. There is nothing wrong with an essay by Helen Keller of Three Days to See where she provides an appreciation for our sight.
Sadei Chemed – 10 volumes which discusses different topics in hebrew alphabetic order.
Someone in the impeachment proceedings of the house said we are not impeaching the president, he is impeaching himself.
GH, Not every one has been following those proceedings, so they want to show that there is a reason for their action.
Not going to the courts reminds me year 2000, Bush vs Gore, where the Supreme Court selected the president.
rational, you have fabricated a new halacha, if one makes a mistake (which usually happens by not being alert enough) you can embarrass him publicly.
Ameica is now Babel. Whoever moves from Babel to EY violates an Asei because we must stay in CH’L until Meshiach arrives.
knaidlach, שתהי שלהבת עולה מאליה the light should catch on by itself.
The custom to relight candles in the shul in the morning according to the Sheorim Metzuyonim Behalacha on the Kitzur is based on the above Rambam. Even though it might not be seen in the light, but it is done for zecher lemikdash and not for parsumei nisei, I explained.
rational, thank you for making fun of my misspelling. Your actions are very rational.
You should use new wicks for hiddur mitzva. In the Beis Hamikdash there was a mitzva of hatovas neros to replace the old wicks. According to the Rambam, Hilchas Temidim Umusofim 3,12 if it went out, ithey would clean it, replace it and relight it in the morning, but the Rashba holds that they would relight it in the afternoon.
