    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 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.

    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?

    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.

    Reb Eliezer

    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.

    When 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.

    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.

    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.

    The 25th word in Parashas Breishis יהי ‘אור’ ויהי אור , if we pray for light, we get light. This is an implication of finding hidden secrets in the Torah with the power of the hidden light.

    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.

    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.

    I agree with knaidllach that love comes after marriage. It says Breishis 24,67 Yitzchok brough Rivkah to the tent of his mother Sara, he took Rivkah as his wife and came to love her thereby consoling himself after his mother.
    The Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh gives two reasons why Yaakov Avinu loved Rachel, one, not because of her beauty but being his besherte, two. beauty was against resisting yetzer hara by not desiring someone beautiful. He saw her as a cheftzei shel mitzva.
