Reb EliezerParticipant
A Jew has the highest level of kedusha, so the when the kedusha leaves, the absence creates the highest level of tumah.
Reb EliezerParticipantrational, look up the dictionary, against can have the meaning in comparison to. They are on opposite sides being matched up with each other.
Reb EliezerParticipantrationnal, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantSefer 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantKorach 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantSatmar was ashkanez led by Rav Yehhuda Gruenwald before Rav Yoel ztz’l.
Reb EliezerParticipantNev, Krias Hashatz, did you mean chazoras hashatz?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, In around 3 months (April 16, 1944 – July 8, 1944) they ym’s exterminated 437,000 Jews in Hungary.
Read The Politics of Genocide, The Holocaust in Hungary by Randolph L. Braham, Condensed EditionReb EliezerParticipantThe 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.Reb EliezerParticipantIt is also called קרובץ – קול רנה וישועה באהלי צדיקים, see the Bach in O’CH 68
Reb EliezerParticipantYO, For Yotzrot see SA O’CH 68 and for Maaravit see Tosfos Brochos 11,1 ד’ה אחת MB 489,1 אור יום הנף said at night 2nd day pesach before shmonei esrei about sefiras haomer.
Reb EliezerParticipantAbout yotzrot see Chavas Yair 238, Teshuva Meahava 1:1

Reb EliezerParticipantThe Satmar Rav ztl’l was asked, why do we need the letters ש, ת and ס, so he said, how would you write
כסילים מתי תשכילו?Reb EliezerParticipantMy breed is a dying breed. The parents of these boys are chasidic younger than I am, so the boys are broughr up in a chasidic environment.
Reb EliezerParticipantChasan Sofer started to become chasidish in my time.
Reb EliezerParticipantModerator: Torah in the title of the OP is mispelled.
Reb EliezerParticipantOberlander what is called a gebrutener ashkenaz (burned in ashkenaz). Went to Wiener and Matersdorfer Yeshivas (Adas Yereim and Chasan Sofer).
Reb EliezerParticipantModerator: Can you please correct the title?
Reb EliezerParticipantI am not a lawyer. Don’t like it, don’t go.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer emphasized וסרתם מן הדרך ועבדתם אלהים אחרים getting off the walked on way will brring to the worship of a’z אשר לא ידעתם which you don’t realiize.
Reb EliezerParticipantAs the redemption will come behasech hadaas. unaticipated, so is shliach hakein, unprepared.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think, once it is scaned to disk and printed from there , they are all the same.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe don’t have a chandelier in the bathroom and I don’r know anyone who does. My mother o’h was a holocaust survivor from Aushwitz. She was not fancy being satisfied with what she had.
Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, As you mentioned the Jews left at the October 23, 1956 Hungarian Revolution against the Soviets. Around h 20,000 Jews left then. My father o’h was involved in gettting them through the border.
Reb EliezerParticipantOberland 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantAre the children mamzerim if they married forbidden relationships unwittingly? Catch, I would say according to you, yes.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe can extend the question above, someone can’t have children anymore and discovers that he married one of the forbidden relationships, does he have to divorce her?
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a forum to discuss halacha.
Reb EliezerParticipantHe finds out he is a Kohen and married a divorcee, does he have to divorce her? Is the issur to live with her or to marry her?

Advice welcomed. #1736820Reb EliezerParticipantIn the Wiener Cemetery above, chavreh kadishe has to approve the text to the matzeva. The cemetery belongs to a group who has the right to set rules as a shul does.
Reb EliezerParticipantAlso, by reading the targum in aramaic helps in learning gemora .
Reb EliezerParticipantTalmidchochom, Look at the benefit of it, gaining long life Brochos 8:2. You can speed up rhe process by doing a parsha (peh or samech) at a time.
June 2, 2019 12:32 pm at 12:32 pm in reply to: Putting a nickname on a matzeva or footstone. Advice welcomed. #1736657Reb EliezerParticipantIn 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.
June 2, 2019 12:32 pm at 12:32 pm in reply to: Putting a nickname on a matzeva or footstone. Advice welcomed. #1736655Reb EliezerParticipantAbout 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantTalmidchochom, Klugeryid, About Rashi see SA O’CH 285,2
Reb EliezerParticipantHaving 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey were Jews a thousand years ago
Jews speak holy languages
Yiddish is holy
Ergo
Jews spoke Yiddish a thousand years agoReb EliezerParticipantNev, the MB is unclear it says until the mouth which could be from the bottom.
Reb EliezerParticipantLook at Igros Moshe O”CH Chelek 4, 70
שו”ת אגרות משה אורח חיים חלק ד סימן ע ד”ה י”א
י”א אם יש לקרוע היום על ראיית ירושלים ואלו הנוסעים לארץ ישראל מסתבר שאף שעדיין לא נגאלנו בעוה”ר אין לקרוע בראיית ירושלים מאחר שהיא בחסד השי”ת בנויה לתפארת ואינה עכ”פ ברשות אומות עכו”ם,
Reb EliezerParticipantMrSarahLevine613, What you are saying about yuhara applies to covering the head with the talis but not about wearing it. See the MB I referred to before 17:10.
May 30, 2019 5:51 pm at 5:51 pm in reply to: Percentage of men members vs. women on YW Coffeeroom? #1736054Reb EliezerParticipantlaskern – Male
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Debretziner Rav ztz’l was asked, are you allowed to take to the bathroom the פארווערטס, Forward, a yiddish newspaper? He answered, the question is if you are allowed to take it out?
