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.
Zelinsky says he was not pressured because he needs the good will of the US, so he does not want to upset Trump.
Firing genrrals and advocating ‘yes’ man is no way to govern as this brings to tunnel vision by only seeing one side.
anynomous, you can’t hide yourself like Trump. Michael Cohen indicated that Trump hints what is on his mind. We have to interpret his pattern of behavior. The letter indicates ‘do me a favor though’ was is ‘though’?
We have to understand the letter in context as he mentions javelins before. How is it that for the previous president of Ukrane, who was really corrupt, Trump provided aid? Why did he ask China to investigate Biden as the corruption of the Bidens was not in China? Why diid he not investigate the Bidens before he became a candidate? All this indicates that he was not out for the corruptiion of the Bidens but to stop his political opponent.The Rabbenu Bechaya says that the kapora for Chilul Hashem is Kiddush Hashem.
Gordon Sondland testified under oath and Mulvaney at the news conference.
There is an argument whether Adam Harishon burried her or Chanoch burried her which indicates she outlived Adam as he did not burry her. Her age at her passing is not known. google your OP.
knaidlach, It’s called a Jigsaw puzzle so google jigsaw puzzle on shabbos. See MB SA O’CH 340,17 based on opening a sefer with letters on the side.
Philosopher, you are misunderstanding my point. Was Nixon stupid when he resigned? He knew he will be impeached. They both affected our democracy by manupilating our elections and thereby violated the constitution whereas Clinton was impeached on something that had nothing to do with governance.
There is no such thing as a negative midah. Every midah has its pllace. It matters under what instance you use it. Hate in the wrong situation is wrong and so is love. Sometimes showing anger is justified. Jealousy for Torah knowledge is good. So you must train yourself to use midahs appropriate to the situatuon. That is why you should pause before applying a midah to determine if it is applicable.
There is a similarity betwen Nixon and Trump as both wanted to influence the elections. Nixon throgh the break in into the DNC wanted to influence the 1972 presidential election.
Look at the Levyim singing by the sacrifices which added to the service of Hashem through joy. Music generates happines and sadness depending on the tune. and affects the spirit.
I mentioned Trump is stupid you don’t publicize the thing being accused of, i.e. investigate Biden and hold back aid.
We want to place rachamim over din. We want rachamim to ‘trump’ din.
בשמים ממעל ועל הארץ מתחת The Klei Yokor interprets, when is comes to heavenlly (spiritual) things, look at people above you, but wheh it comes to earthly (material) things, look at peiple below you. The Chasan Sofer explains, look at the letter nun, it is narrow above, not being satisfied spiritually, but wide below, being satisfied materially.
שךך אי אתה רואה אבל אץה רואה של אחרים ושל גבוה you don’t see your own faults, but see the faults of others and specially the faults of the holy.
אין אדם רואה את נגעי עצמו a person does not see his/her own faults. כל הפוםל במומו פוסל whoever finds faults, finds his own faults. אדם קרוב אצל עצמו a person is closest to himself.
For anger management, look in the mirror.
מי האיש החפץ חיים אוהב ימים לראות טוב in order to appreciate and love the dqys, see the good in them.
If he is guilty, impeach him but if he is innocent, impeach him for stupidity of acting as he is guilty.
Joseph, don’t be holier than thou. Light Chanukah candles yourself as everyone else does. See what I told your wife above.
I think it is already meuriv you are not m’ariv. The cake is not the simcha but the day which happens by itself.
knaidlach, it says איזהו עבודה שבלב הוה אומר זו תפילה.
Joseph, explain yourself.
TLIK, we are not talking in the OP about a person who is knocking on the door to be fed. These are not poor peiple who need support but feel badly being alone and would never ask to be invited. They will mostly bring a present for appreciation.
Should be Ich bin ein Kalte Litvak. So you need it even more to be warmed up.
Wolf, does this answer your question?
I akewhut, I think because the kedusha is greater, so is the yetzer hara. If someoneis able to over come it. he wil shteig, elevate himself otherwise, fall.
When it comes to tefila, an expressiion of the heart, we say, רחמנא לבא בעי the heart is the most important. There is a story where a peasant came to shul, who did not know how to daven, decided to whistle. It was said that he opened up the heavens with this whistle because it came from the heart.
If we daven betzibur, Hashem accepts the tefila even it is improper, but beyochid the malochim accept it only if they understand it, as aramaic is not said beyochid because the malochim don’t care to understand it.
If you are alone, can you do bikur cholim for the opposite gender?
Milhouse, you are nitpicking . What is the purpose of Hachnosas Orchim. To make sure that a person who is alone has a place to eat and stay. Hachnosas Orchim is similar to bikur cholim part of chesed where I give credit to Satmar. Ths fact is that these people are alone and being alone reminds them of this fact and increases their pain.
GH, well said, even not keeping one disqualifies him from being Meshiach, besides in the Rambam Hilchas Melodhim it indicates that Meshiach iwill be a descendant of David Hamelech.
You can get a intel coompatable AMD 64 bit PC whidh is much cheaperr than the MAC .
Whatsaktome, Does Trump keep the Sheva Mitzvos to be Meshiach?
I learned that you get malochim from mitzvos but I never learned from tefilos. Yaakov Avinu sent malochim infront of him created from mitzvos.
The Chafetz Chaim says that we are adorning the crown of Hashem with precious stones with our tefilla and be careful not to be fake.
I did not say to invite every person, but if we show we care for lonely people, Hashem will make sure that we should never be lonely and need others help. It might even bring him/her closer to Hashem.
The Mdrash on Tehilim quoted by the Binah Leitim compares the creatiion of the world with chesed to a king who has storerooms of all goods he asks, what should I do with this? I will share this with my servants and they will praise me for it. As Hashem created the world for our benefit not His, we must similarly share our wealth and knowledge (teaching our Torah knowledge) to others. The praise encourages the continuation of bestowement of the goods. If one does not do that, it would have been better not be born as the neshoma was on an elevated level before being born.
Philosopher, your logic is what is called ostrich politics, where someone sticks her head in the sand, not caring for the other person as long as she can rest in her holy tower. Chanoch and Noach were held responsible for this type of behavior. not mixing with people. We have a responsibility not only on our elevation but on others.
The last day of Pesach we all eat gebrochs (misch) in order to be able to eat together.I am happy for you. Mazel Tov! It should turn into a wonderful union.
Philospher, Look at Avraham Avinu, three arabs come, it certainly did not elevate his aura of kedusha, but he still invited them because he thoughr that it was the righr thing to do. You must take the chance. If he/she doesn’t behave properly, you are exempt from inviting them again.
If not for a single caring family, I mostly would spend my shabbos alone.
There is a nice pshat from Rebbi Yonathan Eibshutz that, I heard, he said at his bar mitzva. He had two questions, Rebbi Yishmoel Omer, the name Yishmoel and that why it does not say Omar Rebbi Yishmoel as there is no argument on it? We know that Yishmoel did teshuva because he allowed at Avraham’s burial to precede Yitzchok, but the question is, that the Torah is not concerned with the order in the pasuk? If that is case then you cannot darshen a kelal uprat as the in Pesochim questuons, so in the same pasuk order matters and we can darshen a kelal uprat and Rebbi Yishmoel was named properly. Therefkre, from his name he was able to deduce to darshen a kelal uprat.
Philosopher, what is the meaning of the great mitzva of Hachnosas Orchim which is greater than the acceptance of the Shchina?
As I am thinking, maybe the chassidishe above are afraid of their behavior and not mine.
As mentioned before, I am alone now as my wife passed away nine years ago. There are six chassidish fanilies on my block, but to this very day, none of them has invited me. My chassidish rav invites me for every Yom Tov especially for Pesach seder.
Yesterday shabbos, I visited an older woman in a nursing home. We had a discussion of Torah pointing out why noshim are tzidkoniyos because the covering of their hair is for the benefit of the men as women among themselves would not have to do that.
