Reb EliezerParticipant
ubi, I think you are off by a day the Equinox Tekufas Tishri adjusted should be October 6 not 7.
September 23 + 13 = October 6 (not 7)
October 6 + 60 = Dec 5Reb EliezerParticipantThat is what my local shul luach showed but both of you are correct that it should be Dec 5.
Equinox Tekufas Tishri = Sept 23
+ 60 = Nov 22
+ 13 days difference between Gregorian and Julian Calendar.I emailed my shul luach editor.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf you look at the gemora in Perek Chelek, where each of the talmidim thought that their rebbi was Meshiach. According to the Rav Abarbanel, Meshiach is an acronym for Menachem, Shiloh, Yinon and Chanina. There rebbies were all alive at that time.
Reb EliezerParticipantStart Vesen Tal Umotor Wednesday night, December 4.
December 1, 2019 5:02 pm at 5:02 pm in reply to: Why does my son’s Rebbi have a smartphone ? #1806459Reb EliezerParticipantAvi K, I replied on your comment reply #1805792 about domeh l’malach.
December 1, 2019 5:01 pm at 5:01 pm in reply to: Is it okay to learn (Torah) During Davening? #1806399Reb EliezerParticipantIf you look into another sefer when he is speaking is disrespectful as you are showing that you don’t care what he is saying.
Reb EliezerParticipantChanukah is related to Sukkos. According to the Beis Shamai we diminish the candles by days as the oxen was diminished day by day. The Beis Hille holds that as days went by, our spirutuality increased whereas the Beis Shamai wants to dimihish our materialism as the oxen representing the umas haolam are diminished. Sukkas where we celebrate a good harvest is our holiday instead of Thanksgiving Day.
December 1, 2019 11:19 am at 11:19 am in reply to: Does a Divorce indicate a Family lacked Shalom Bayis? #1806162Reb EliezerParticipantHow come the Beis Hilell holds that divorce can be done even if she burns his food? The answer is, if he wants to divorce for that, then there is no help for that marriage. The mizbeach cries for divorcing the first wife because the mizbeach brihgs peace. At the wedding they are mochel the sins because sholam bayis is already such a geat nisoyan and they doh’t need to be also burdened with all their sins.
December 1, 2019 10:14 am at 10:14 am in reply to: Important shidduch questions during hannukah! #1806138Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer questiions, why don’t females light when the neis also involved them? He says that originally they lit outside and it was improper for them to light among the men, so even now that we light inside the original custom remained . The Chasan Sofer explains the custom for the women not working as long the candles are burning. The yevonim wanted to eliminate Rosh Chodesh in order not to keep yomim tovim where the women light the candles. Min haTorah there are eighr days, so the women don’t work and the men light for the neis of the oil.
December 1, 2019 9:34 am at 9:34 am in reply to: Why does my son’s Rebbi have a smartphone ? #1806126Reb EliezerParticipantAvi K, אם תהיה בעינך כמאלך ה’ צב-אות תורה מבקשה מפיו, let’s give credit where credit is due to the Hafloh, rebbi of the Chasam Sofer, so the Chasam Sofer echoes hiim by explaining that the moon was willing to diminish itself to allow the stars shine.
November 30, 2019 9:03 pm at 9:03 pm in reply to: How should one protest against shmoozers during davening? #1806006Reb EliezerParticipantשיבה is an acronym שתיקה יפה בשעת התפילה.
November 30, 2019 9:03 pm at 9:03 pm in reply to: How should one protest against shmoozers during davening? #1806007Reb EliezerParticipantMight get some ideas from: https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/talking-in-shul-2
Reb EliezerParticipantYabia Omer, there is an argument between the Rabbenu Taam and the Rambam if the saying of an unnecessary brocho is assur biblically because of Lo Siso which is the view of the Rambam see SA O’CH 215,4 or rabbinically as the Rabbenu Taam see the Tosafos Rosh Hashana 33,1. If women make a brocho on a time dependent mitzva is related to this argument. Halel on Rosh Chodesh is only a custom. so according to the Mechaber above a brocho should not be made. In SA O’CH 422,2 according to one view holds that in tzibur you do make a brocho. Could be that this view holds that Halel betzibur is not only a minhag but parsimei nisei.
Reb EliezerParticipantYabia Omer,, aren’t you sefard who don’t make a bracha on Rosh Chodesh halel?
November 28, 2019 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805718Reb EliezerParticipantCS, The Democrats follow the Jews whereas the Republicans follow the goyim. Only the goyim are commanded on the iborim. By the Jews punisment by the beis din is monetary. The Meharsha says that is why Pharaoh used the Jewish midwives as they are not commanded killing a fetus in the mothers womb.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is ironic that a turkey is called תרנגול הודו which means also a rooster of thanks.
Reb EliezerParticipantFor more information see: https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/tearing-families-apart
Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, did you read my previous post?
Reb EliezerParticipantAnyway, there is no reason to jail them. I am a refugee from Hungary being here sixty years. We were kept in a DP canp in Austria for 2 1/2 years until we came here.
Reb EliezerParticipantAs mentioned before, labeling people by calling names should not be tolerated in the CR because it is worse than loshan hara. המכנה שם לחבירו אין לו חלק לעולם הבא.
Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, that is the point of not separating them.
November 28, 2019 9:30 am at 9:30 am in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805488Reb EliezerParticipantMilhouse, Your justification does not hold water. Even if it creates monetary harm, abortion is done only when the fetus is a rodef, see the SMA mentioned above. The judgement is min hashomayim because his intentions matter. For goyim, they consider it murder but not us, so they get killed.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf they are illegal, isn’t the whole fam8ly illegal? Keep them together.
November 28, 2019 1:20 am at 1:20 am in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805390Reb EliezerParticipantI am not Jackk, but please explain to me why are socialists evil who help the needy. The rich should pay more because they use the benefits of the country more because they have more to lose. They are not all criminals who are separated from their families. If they are illegal, then the whole family is illegal. I don’t call you names and appreciate if you did the same. The doctors get punished performing abortions without regard of reason and the circumstances are not so extremely rare.
November 28, 2019 12:07 am at 12:07 am in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805363Reb EliezerParticipantYehudayona, I think you are right see the sma CHM 425,2 s’k 8 proving that as long it is fetus in the stomach it is not considered murder because if the womwn is hurt losing her child ch’v, there are monetary damages, so we are obligated to save the mother by whatever means possible.
November 27, 2019 10:25 pm at 10:25 pm in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805331Reb EliezerParticipantMilhouse, I don’t appreciate calling me an evil person. I am not a full socialist equavalent to a communist, but I believe that capitalism has gone to the extremes caring only for making money and not for the well being of the workers. Currently they say, if you don’t like our policies, leave. As an old man I personally experienced this. I worked in bank and was let go before earning a pension.
November 27, 2019 8:32 pm at 8:32 pm in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805320Reb EliezerParticipantI cannot support someone and the party following him, who ostracizes immigrants by separating families, and supports the rich by only givihg them a tax cut believing that he knows everything better than anyone else.
Reb EliezerParticipantCurrently, I giive thanks to Rav Ovadya Yoseph ztz’l for his Yabia Omer and Yechaveh Daas for disseminating all the views when answering a shalah.
November 27, 2019 3:49 pm at 3:49 pm in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805214Reb EliezerParticipantThe Republicans who let the poor suffer end up killing them.
November 27, 2019 3:49 pm at 3:49 pm in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805207Reb EliezerParticipantSome 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.
November 27, 2019 2:29 pm at 2:29 pm in reply to: Any of the 2020 DNC Presidential candidates 100% against abortion (aka murder)? #1805154Reb EliezerParticipantNo 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.Reb EliezerParticipantJoaeph, what about the Chida and the Ben Ish Chai?
November 27, 2019 12:06 pm at 12:06 pm in reply to: Should frum yidden remove all plants from the home during the month of december? #1805078Reb EliezerParticipantIf you want a real maris ayin, lighting a menorah oil or candles inside and placing an electric menorah in the window.
Reb EliezerParticipantFFB can credit for keeping themselves religious as raised.
November 26, 2019 8:19 pm at 8:19 pm in reply to: Is it better to be Chassidish or Litvish? #1804878Reb EliezerParticipantbpkj, as I mentioned before they end up being a chassidisher litvak.
November 26, 2019 5:25 pm at 5:25 pm in reply to: Is it better to be Chassidish or Litvish? #1804778Reb EliezerParticipantTo 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.
November 26, 2019 3:23 pm at 3:23 pm in reply to: Is it better to be Chassidish or Litvish? #1804751Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantEntering information on a computer when it is on, might not be a biblical prohibition since the display does not last.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantחנוכה – 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey ask, how was Avraham Avinu keep shabbos? The Hafloah answers that he worked motzoei shabbos.
Reb EliezerParticipantchash, what you are saying is said by the Chasam Sofer, the hebrew word גר hnts starting with gimmel instesd of an aleph and finishes with a resh insted of a taf indicating hard to start and hard to finish.
Reb EliezerParticipantShemaya 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy two chilldren where converted and adopted as babies and b’H they are Torah observent Jews.
November 23, 2019 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm in reply to: Is it okay to learn (Torah) During Davening? #1803542Reb EliezerParticipantChiyuv 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.
November 23, 2019 8:51 pm at 8:51 pm in reply to: Is it okay to learn (Torah) During Davening? #1803544Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, See SA O’CH 124,4 and 146,2
November 22, 2019 1:33 pm at 1:33 pm in reply to: Is it okay to learn (Torah) During Davening? #1803426Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, 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.
November 22, 2019 10:59 am at 10:59 am in reply to: Is it okay to learn (Torah) During Davening? #1803353Reb EliezerParticipantNo, the problem is that others will follow your lead and also learn and there will not be ten people answering.
November 22, 2019 1:18 am at 1:18 am in reply to: Is it illegal to walk around wearing a counterfeit “I Voted” sticker? #1803267Reb EliezerParticipantA 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/.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy do you want to convert?
