Sometimes the chazal assered more the less severe, Yom Tov over Shabbos by muktza, because he might desecrate it more. Ramban Hilchas Yom Tov (1,17) see Mishneh Lamelech.
September 6, 2019 2:01 pm at 2:01 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1784526Reb EliezerParticipantYom Tov malochos with admonishment is malkus, Yom Kippur is kares and shabbos is skilah.
Similarly, the number called up for laining indicates this severity. Chal Hamoed 4,Yom Tov 5, Yom Kippur 6 and shabbos 7. A rabibinic prohibition is chayev misah. Explains R’ Yanoson Aibshutz ztz’l, the chazal are protectors of the palace of the King who have the right to shoot intruders on the spot.September 5, 2019 10:45 am at 10:45 am in reply to: Satmar Rav R’ Yoel Ztz’l 40th Yahr Zeit #1784160Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, By being a preacher, be careful don’t be a kitrug on Klal Yisroel ch’v.
Reb EliezerParticipantTrumps breaks it why shouldn’t we? In SA the first siman, this is emphasized. We would not sin if we kept in mind that Hashem our King of Kings is infront of us but we forget, so doing aveiros on purpose is bishgogo,
נכנס בו רוח שטות.Reb EliezerParticipantWhen they change the name of a sick person as mentioned in the RMA above, he turns into a different person.
The Ben Ish Chai explains that the parable sayers said let’s go to Cheshbon and conquer the city of Sichon. What connection does it have to accounting of our sins? The question is, how can you conquer Sichon when he took over Maov whom you are not suppose to touch? Once he took it over, it became a new entity. Similarly, once we do teshuva we come a new entity.September 4, 2019 3:42 pm at 3:42 pm in reply to: Younger siblings waiting for older to get engaged #1783976Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, we find knowledge among the goyim. We can apply Ericson’s theory of child development together with the Rambam in Perek Chelek. There are stages of development which come with obstacles. We mature when we can overcome the obstacle for that stage. There are levels of the neshomo. The obstacle is the yetzer horah. When we defeat it, we are given a higher level of the neshomo as the yetzer horah cannot be stronger from what the neshomo can take. The Rambam says that different stages have different desires.
Reb EliezerParticipantAs I mentined before, it is ironic, the second amendment was originaly instituted to protect oneself, now it is used to desroy.
September 4, 2019 3:22 pm at 3:22 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783959Reb EliezerParticipantStoning is more severe than chenek or cherev.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis is the meaning, to rejoice from shock.
September 4, 2019 3:22 pm at 3:22 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783953Reb EliezerParticipantShabbos is the foundation of Judaism. If you destroy the foundation, you destroy the whole building,
therefore the punishment is greater. If someone is mechaleh shabbos after admonishment, we can’t drink from his wine.September 4, 2019 12:51 pm at 12:51 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783858Reb EliezerParticipantWhen we must tear toilet paper on shabbos, don’t tear on perforations in order not to cut to size.
Reb EliezerParticipantMilhouse, currently we have nothing. At least Iran and the world considered it a treaty.
September 4, 2019 12:43 pm at 12:43 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783851Reb EliezerParticipantIf someone has bulmus, hunger pang, we feed him the lighter sin. For shabbos its a sakonoh, so we slaughter for him rather give him naveloh. There is an argument between the RMA and Mechaber if shabbos is hutra or hudcha. If there is sakonoh on shabbos, if there is a goy around according the RMA use him, but according to the Mechaber you don’t need to. It is a actually a mitzva to use a talmid chacham, so that people should not learn from it. SA O’CH (328,12)
September 4, 2019 12:42 pm at 12:42 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783842Reb EliezerParticipantThe mashal above is from the Daas Zekenim MIbaalei Tosfas in the begining of parshas Eikev.
September 4, 2019 12:42 pm at 12:42 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783826Reb EliezerParticipantThere is mashal on this, where a king tells his servants to grow a garden of flowers. They get paid on the work they do. Some are more worthy than others, so they get paid more for it; The king does not tell them the pay for each because he wants a nice mix and not one or two types, but if they would know the pay for each, they would only plant the higher paid ones. Similarly. when it comes to mitzvos. Hashem, wants us to perform a mix because we don’t understand the effect it creates above.
September 3, 2019 7:37 am at 7:37 am in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783176Reb EliezerParticipantubiquitin, look at David Hamelech in Bava Metzia Perek Hazahav where he was ashamed in public in the middle of learning being questioned, who commits adultary how is his executed? He answered through chenek but has olam haboh, whereas who ashames someone in public does not.
Reb EliezerParticipantGoogle Audio Shiurim
September 2, 2019 9:52 pm at 9:52 pm in reply to: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment? #1783150Reb EliezerParticipantThe Shlah Hakadash says that the purpose of mitzvas is to make a nachas ruach to Hashem and reward and punishment is a measuring stick on amount we do.
Reb EliezerParticipantkol haloshon
Reb EliezerParticipantklugeryid, if we figure treuma 1 of 50 it comes out to
1-1/50 = 49/50 = .98, .98 x .7776 = .762048
1 – .762048 = .237952 = 24%Reb EliezerParticipantThe unemployment rate only refers to people seeking work. If they have no skills, they might give up looking for work.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, the zohar says we come to this world because people don’t want a bread of shame, free handouts.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is 22.24 % (1-..10) x (1-..10) x (1-.-04) = .90 x ..90 x .96 = .7776 left over which is 1-.7776 =.2224 or 22.24% taken
Reb EliezerParticipantThe tarrifs increase prices which creates a hardship for seniors like myself being on social security on a fixed income.
Reb EliezerParticipantQuayboardwarrior – what is left over after teruma is taken and so on.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is worthy to quote the eloquent statement of then Shulchan Aruch above, don’t think I am worthy that HKB”H should fullfil my needs because II had the proper kavono in my prayers, as the opposite is true, this reminds above his sins, checking his actions saying that he relies on his own zechusim. Rather, he should think that HKB’H should do it because of his favor saying in his heart, who am I, poor and ashamed, go to ask from the King of Kings HKB’H, if not because of his great chasodim that he shows towards His creations.
Reb EliezerParticipantfanilygirl, you must play with the cards you were dealt with and pray to Hashem that your effort will bear fruits in shidduchim and everything else.
Reb EliezerParticipantHashem listens to those who see themselves not worthy to be listened to as stated in SA O’CH 98 at the end of the siman.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen Levi, I am not talking about guns and revolvers used for hunting and personel defense otherwise, we can outlaw cars also , bur assault weapons with magazines that are acquired only for domestic terror.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen Levi, The answer is Trump’s economy is good for the rich but not for the poor or middle class. Their income differentiation has becomie wider under Trump.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, those that have the ability to work, teach them a skill. I was educated throgh the CETA progam by Project Cope through the Agudah in computer programming.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, let’s be realistic the RMA O’CH 128,24 was more realistic than you are. He paskens that we don’t duchan on shabbos because we are not fully in simcha as we are worrying about our livelihood.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe question above should be. why are the poor not richer?
August 29, 2019 4:40 pm at 4:40 pm in reply to: Younger siblings waiting for older to get engaged #1781437Reb EliezerParticipantSome people don’t want to win a lottery like that because it is a test as we say every morning don’t bring me to temptatiion because it can lead to shame.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen Levi, why are the poor hecoming richer?
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klei, Jews go to a Rebbe to learn from his midos and be able to emulate him. I mentioned before that sometimes we are not worthy on our own to be listened to. The Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh says that at the sea, Moshe Rabbenu was told, don’t scream to me, tell the Bnei Yisroel to move. Asks he, why tefila will not help? When the ruler of the sea argued that the Jews also worshipped a'”z midas hadin took over, so they had to have midas horachamim rule over and show a mesiras nefesh by getting in the sea. Sometimes we need an intermediary as a conduit for the acceptance of our tefilos, so we choose someone great and holy to intercede in our behalf. We daven in a tzibur to be accepted as part of a tzibur led by a holy person, otherwise, our teflos might not reach Hashem but stolen by outside sources as stated before.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, who are we to expect that we are worthy to be listened to?
Reb EliezerParticipantNo one said the guf is the gun. I am saying that sometimes two things contribute to one result like the guf and the neshomo to sin. Similarly, the gun and the person together contribute to the murder, so both should be held responsible.
Reb EliezerParticipantNot only the stock market but the whole economy, investment, consumption and government spending is based on perceptiion.
Reb EliezerParticipantMiriam, well said.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe close to one trillion yearly deficit through the tax cut mainly for the rich does not help the economy.
Reb EliezerParticipantOur president does not realize that the stock market is affected by perception. He should be quiet and not blame the fed chair for his doing.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen L, look ar my previous post on August 19th about guns.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, you misunderstood listening to the elders. I wasn’t talking about you but our president.
August 29, 2019 10:40 am at 10:40 am in reply to: Younger siblings waiting for older to get engaged #1781207Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, you don’t seem to believe in hishtadlus, so don’t go to a doctor. The midrash says, יכול שהוא יושב בטל ת”ל בכל מעשך אשר תעשה
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilospher, great individuals whom we can emulate are better conduits in our tefilas who are listened to more than we are. We ask them to intercede in our behalf as Kolev went to the Avos asking them to pray for him not to follow the meraglim.
Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t know what the source is. The mezuzah part I heard, nisuyin I said myself.
August 29, 2019 10:37 am at 10:37 am in reply to: Younger siblings waiting for older to get engaged #1781189Reb EliezerParticipantWe find that this was Lavan’s argument which was wrong for not telling Yaakov Avinu ahead of time and cheating him. If the older agrees that the younger marry first, fine.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, you are no phioosopher when you advocate Trump pushing out experienced Matis, Secretary of Defense and listening to Stephen Miller on immigrarion. We are befriending our enemies and alianating our alies. The tax cuts created a trillion dollar yearly deficits. He puts the world including Israel in danger by breaking nuclear treaties with Iran and Russia.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, everyone knows what you saying, but Hashem Yisborach wants us to emulate His true servants therefore their behavior is honorable and worthy of respect. את ה’ אלקיך תירא – לרבות תלמודי חכמים.
