    rationnal, in yiddish we translate as kegen which gets translated against. כנגד ארבע בנים דברה תורה it is true the Satmar Rav ztz’l translates that the Torah is against and does not agree with any of the children. אעשה לו עזר כנגדו translated I will make him a helper corresponding to him. The Midrash says זכה עזר לא זכה כנגדו. I translated it from yiddish.

    The Kedusha of shabbos increases as the day progresses. בה, בו. בם. The Chasam Sofer explains that is why in the morning we make a kedusha rabba. There are three tefilos which the Tur explains is against three shabosos, shabbos of creatiion, shabbos of kabolas hatorah and all eternal shabbos. The afternoon is the holiest of the three having the sudah against all three.

    Sefer Habris Chelek 2 Maamar 1 Perek 3. You must start reading from Perek 1 as there is no Table of Contents because he builds on the previous chapters.

    Korach believed that no leader is necessary because we are all holy on the same level. People are judged above according the level of their holiness. Kodoshim is holier than truma. A kohen is holier than a yisroel. There are twenty five leveks of the neshomo. When he fights his yetzer hora and he defeats it, he gets a higher level of neshomo because the yetzer hora can’t be stronger he can take. See the Sefer Habris.

    The Ben Ish Chai explains that someone did not want to have a beard because he was not born with it then hakheh es shinov as he was not born with his teeth either. I said he did not want to circumsize himself because he wasn’t born like that, so then knock out his teeth not to be able to eat the korban pesach.

    The Germans marched into Budapest March 19, 1944. Horthy officially stopped the deportation on July 8, 1944. The Arrow Cross kidnapped his son, so he was forced to resign. They took over leadership October 15, 1944.
    They wanted to liquidate the Budapest Ghetto around 70,000 Jews. Raul Wallenberg saved it and was freed January 17, 1945. Carl Lutz and Raul Wallenberg saved half the Jewish population of Budapest around 125,000 people.

    The Rabbenu Bechaya at the end of Parashas Ki Siso explains the expression חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני Rebbi only wrote down what was absolutely necessary and not what was self understood from the mishna. When the generations became weaker in knowledge, more had to be written down. This is how the gemora came into being. So what was left out of the mishna, was left out on purpose.

    The Midrash Shmuel on Avos explains the mishna כל מחלוקת לשם שמים סופו להתקיים the question is who wants the arguments to stand? He explains that since the Beis Shamai helped the Beis Hilel to arrive to truth, they are also praise worthy and maybe therefore the Beis Hilel were preceded by the Beis Shamai because of their humility to hear an opposite view before making a decision.

    Oberland is towards Austria, the west of the Danube, whereas Unterland is towards the east, Romania. I was born in Sopron going back to the Romans on the Austrian border. A synagogue from the forteenth century (1325) was discovered there through excavation.

    I am Hungarian, who left Hungary at the revolution sixty two years ago and being in America sixty years. My wife o.b.m. enjoyed silver and crystals. She said, I enjoy honoring my guests. I stick to our ashkenazic heritage (maarovis and yoitzros) not swaying an inch saying it on my own. She liked limoges so we got a curio cabinet to display them. She had a ceramic doll collection.

    The Torah Temimo’s view is that the rule of placing seforim on each other only applies to parchment. The holiness of printed seforim is all the same.

    In CH’M 56 the Meharam Shik says clearly that the world was created in lashon hakodash and that is the only language in hebrew letters the matzeva should be written in.

    About writing any other language but hebrew letters on a matzeva, see the Mehram Shik YD 171 that the language denies after life. He called himself שיק to signify the beginning letters שם ישראל קודש. Adas Yereim (Wiener) in Beis Yisrtoel, Woodridge, NJ forbids anything but hebrew letters on the matzeva.

    Having seforim written in a language, doesn’t make it holy. Yiddish might be because it distiguishes us from the umaa haolam. It is famous the words of the Chasam Sofee, ויבא יעקב ‘שלם’ שם, לשון, מלבוש name, language and dress. כי פי המדבר עליכם -לשון ההקודש is holy on its own. No dirry words in it.
