Our presidenr has endandered the world by breaking up treaties and relationships.
Philosoper, as your name indicates, look Melachim (1,12) what happened when Rechavom, son of King Solomon, set aside the advice of the elders and listened to the young thereby ending up in the division of his kngdom.
Philosopher, if you think you know everything like our president, you don’t ask advice from everyone and you end up making mistakes. For this reasoh the mishna says at the end of Kidushin that the best of the doctors belong in the gehinom. The Beis Hilel only revealed their view after hearing from the Beis Shamai because of their great humility in order to arrive to the truth.
Having shalom bayis is a nisayon. The Mezuzah is put up slanted. There are two views, horizontal and vertical. We make a compromise to satisfy both views, This is something that both the bride and groom should keep in mind when they enter the house. The wedding is called nisuyin which means elevation. Each one of the mates should elevate the other by putting each other on a pedestal.
Chanah said that if You, Hashem don’t give me any children, I will (could) make myself a sotah and I will drink and be innocent and You will have to bless me with children.
קשה זוויגו של אדם כקריעת ים סוף the matching of a person with their mate is as great as the splitting of the sea. Explains the Chidushei Harim that splitting of the sea was unexpected, similarly to parnasa the shidduch comes unexpected. We must apply our effort but we don’t know if it will bear fruits, so we must pray for it. To have children, there is segulah to wear the hebrew letter ‘heh’ הא לכם זרע.
Grateful, look at the Rav Sapurna and what I said above about mincha and the Klei Yokor.
Grateful, the pasuk above to pray to you ar the time of finding is no proof thar you pray for a mate, because it could mean after finding as a hakoras hatov.
syag, I want to add something, who thinks he knows everything as interpreted by the Ben Ish Chai איש בער לא ידע a man of emptiness who does not know it, and וכסיל לא יבין את זאת and a fool who does not understand it.
To understand why Mincha: Eliyahu Hanovi was answered at mincha time. It reflects the poor worker who designates time when he is very busy, by sacrificing his time to Hashem showing love to Him, as the poor sacrifices his small sacrifice which is accepted by Hashem as the greatest sacrifice. This is the time to pray for what one requires most. He gives up some of his needs and Hashem fullfils all of his needs.
The prayer above about finding a mate is applied to Yaakov Avinu, who wanted to sit and learn without worries for his livelihood as he went to Lavan poor without a penny. Elifaz cleaned him out from his wealth in order to obey his father Aisov’s command to kill him, and by making him poor he fulfiled his father’s wishes.
Grateful, thank you for pointing that out, but it doesn’t say he davened for her only that he found her there. The Klei Yokor says that propably he davened then for her.
CS, it can be found in a Sefer Maharam Sofer from the nephew of Rav Chaim Sofer (Machnei Chaim) student of the Chasam Sofer in a different fashion for someone who wants to sit and learn and be supported through the wife. If she is G-d sent, you can have your cake and eat it, by her having a business and you sitting and learning.
coffee addict, I gave a proof to your disclaimer, no feeling apply regarding Hashem.
coffee adict, the Sefer Hachinuch says that whoever prays to Hashem, have mercy on me like you have mercy on the bird, we quite him down because he makes Hashem’s commandments humanly with feelings. If this was the case, shechita would not be allowed.
A woman being with an abusive husband is gehenom.
Haimy, now we can understand the brocho of the women שעשני כרצונו with there existence to serve their husband they fullfil the will of Hashem.
There are two times that the redemption can come, if it comes the fixed time, then we must have a king as harsh as Haman to force us into teshuva whereas if we want the redemption earlier, then we have to yearn for it with a full heart by making teshuva from love by most of the Bnei Yisroel as stated in the Sefer Beis Elokim from the Mabit. This is what we say maybe in the Mi Sheberach, healing of the spirit, teshuva, or healing of the body by forcing it into teshuva.
CS, we say on Yom Kippur viduy, we are full of sin and You are full of mercy. Hashem is like the mother, who cleans the baby from the filthy diaper, purifying us from sin.
The mishna says the best of the doctors belong in the gehinom because they don’t ask advice. They say as a joke that we need good doctors for the gehinom.
It says the gehenom is 60 times as hot as our fire.
In the news, Rav Hagaon R`Yitzckok Zilberstein Shlita says that Torah is missing this time which protects but Torah protects even when he is not learning, maybe not enough Torah learning for protection of direct dangers.
mdd1, In EY there is no chibut hakever, so he could commit great aveirus in EY and only the neshomo will suffer disagreeing with the gemora that it with the guf are punished together.
mdd1, Is the guf also punished for doing the aveira?
Philosopher, what you say is correct, for the wicked is יורדים ואין עולים, they are thrown in and not taken out, but for others, it is a temporary cleansihg process.
Philosopher, it is a dangerous situation where people should take precaution and it is a common thing to get harmed.
David Hamelech davens מאין יבא עזרי – as we find עזר כנגדו will she be earthly (knowing how to deal with people) or heavenly (how to behave towards Hashem) עזרי מעם ה’ עושה שמים וארץ if she is G-d sent. she can be both heavenly and earthly.
Avraham davened that Yitzchok should find the proper shidduch through the help of Eliezer and so did Eliezer.
If the midas hadin rules says the Rav Ohr Hachaim Hakadash we have to show a mesiras hanefesh to have the midas harachamim rule, so tefila should have an effect.
Philosopher, it says ‘שומר פתאים ה Hashem protects the fools, but not if it is שכיח הזיקא if the harm happens often.
Because of the above question we can conclude that the gehenim is not always a punishment but a cleansing process.
What do you do that the neshomo is not responsible because it needs the guf to do the aveira, so they get punished together?
Sam Klein, you are right, If we do aveiros and we get into dangerous situations, we don’t have פרקלטים גדולים, great defenders to be worthy to be saved through miracles.
I have Stearn & Foster which is very good.
They say about Basyeh the daughter of Pharaoh when she stretched out her hands and it grew, how did she know that it will grow? She put in all her effort and then prayed to come to fruition.
Once we did everything to protect against drowning and it happens anyway, then we must scrutinize our ways.
Even Shmuel Hanovi avoided getting into obvious physical danger when he was commanded by Hashem to anoint David.
עולם כמנהגו נוהג sometimes we are not worthy of miracles of being saved. סכנה חמורי מאיסורי a danger requires more stringency than an issur. Hashem creates the refuah before the makah because once the makah comes, we might not be worthy to be saved. לעולם יתפלל אדם שלא יחלה a person should daven not to become sick because he might not be worthy to be healed.
The president says, guns don’t kill, people kill. They both do as the guf and neshomo don’t sin individually, so they are punished together as the stealing from the fruit tree where the blind holds the lame are punished together.
In order to arrive to the truth in learning you have to listen to opposite views as the Beis Hilel listened to the Beis Shamai first because of their humility. Trump fires his adversaries, so he ends up with tunnel vision. Rebbi Yochanan missed Rash Lokish because he asked kashyes on his statement which created רווחא דשמעתתא expansion of our understanding.
If there is no difference in halacha, some fun can be made. What sweetens the tea, sugar or mixing? The answer is mixing and sugar is required to know how long to mix.
It is important that a Brisker Chakira should make a difference in halacha not just the Rambam whom we don’t always follow. An example is the meaning of שומע כעונה. If it means that ir makes you speak, the problem is , how can you be yotze megilla when you don’t have one personally? We must say that your speaking from the mouth of the baal koreh who has a megilla, so you don’t need one yourself. They say that the kohen can be motzei another kohen in duchenen but he must also raise his hands. Raising the hands is a physical part of the mitzva whereas holding a kos is not. So you don’t need a kos to be yotze kiddush from someone else.
