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.
Music is the universal language which everyone can understand whether it is happy or sad which affects the spirit.
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.There is a hungarian proverb, whoever has butter on his head should not go under the sun. President Trump do you have butter on your head?
They don’t allow first hand witnesses and complain that impeachment has not been properly proven.
Parashas Vayeshev
Rashi says that Yaakov Avinu wanted to live in peace. HKBH said. isn’t it enough for tzadikim to have the world to come, they also want this world, so the worry about Josef fell on him. The question is, why does Hashem not want tzadikim to have both worlds?
Explains the Ksav Sofer and the Chanukas Hatorah (Rebbe R’ Heshel) comparing a tzadk and a rasha. For the tzadik, his whole life is a worry that maybe he does not have olam habo, so he constantly improves himself to gain olam habo and the same time since his life is a worry, he loses his olam hazeh. The rasha either he is sure he has olam habo or doesn’r believe in it, so he does nothing improve and thereby he loses it, but he gains olam hazeh as he has no worries. Yaakov Avinu wanted to live now worry free by being sure that he has olam habo, so he had to worry about Josef thereby worrying about his olam habo as he can only have olam habo if all his children stay alive.There are two contradictory sayings, absence makes the heart go founder. or out of sight out of mind. You have to decide which one is applicable. Could be you don’t miss him/her because they are not really absent, so I agrree with the previous post to imagine going on a plane ride and thinking what would be your reaction.
ותקע כף ירך יעקב says the Shlah Hakodash the word kaf is not so good because it has a kaf kemutze, clenched fist and a peh peshuta, open mouth. We switch כף to פך having a peh kemutza, ckosed mouth and an kaf peshuta, an open hand. According to this, could be, שלום רב לאוהבי תורתך ואין בהם מכשול, מכשול is the same as שלום with a ‘כ’ in it which is not good.
I am seeing a presentation that their was music played in Aushwitz. The natzis ym’s did it to show everything is fine and for the Jews it helped them to cope with the environment.
The Sefer Hachinuch 243. מצוה לאהוב כל אחד מישראל says כי כמו שיעשה הוא בחבירו כן יעשה חבירו בו the way he acts in regard to his friend will his friend act towards him.
So what I am saying is that our behavior towards others is like a mirror image.
CS, כפנים אל פנים כן לב האדם אל אדם like the reflection of one’s face in the water is the heart of the person to the other. If you smile at him, he wil smile back at you. You also must look down to see yourself.
