The Kli Yakar explains that when we live in fancy houses in galus, Eisav becomes jealous of us as it happened in Mitzraim.
We should always keep in mind that we are strangers in a strange place. Moshe Rabbenu called his first son Gershom and the second Eliezer. Hashem helps if the above is kept constantly in mind.
Assimilation was their choice. They did not have to assimilate as the chassidim in Europe dressed differently to avoid it.
Hashem provided a place to escape from the inquisition of Ferdinand and Isabella, who themselves hired Columbus to discover America.
Chabad shows currently for the last shabbos 40 minutes from shkia as the ending of shabbat in NYC.
The CR is what we call an outlet of feelings and opinions being bottled up which can create anxieties, so people will avoid alcohol and drugs.
I am ka’h more than 74 years old hitting the 3/4 mark in 4 months, who left Hungary more than 65 years ago when being 9 years old at the Hungarian Revolution. As I stated before, I call myself Reb to teach to give respect to the elderly as it was the custom in Europe. I did not learn in BMG but respect their learning. My purpose mainly is to pass on Torah as the Binah Leitim explains the passage אם למדת תורה הרבה אל תחזיק טובה לעצמך כי לכך נוצרת when you learned much Torah, don’t keep the ‘best’ for yourself as you were created to disseminate it. With this I explained הלומד תורה שלא לשמה מוטב לו שלא נברא, one who learns Torah not for its on sake but the to make himself look good, it would have been better for him not to be born. As he does not abide by the purpose he was created for, there is no reason to have been born.
Moish, תשובה also means an answer. If people learn Torah, it is no bitul zman. The editors avoid non tziniusdig pictures. Feelings are not developed for the invisible and unheard. Shiva helps the mourner psychologically by being able to express their feelings. Similarly, world affairs cause anxieties that people can express here on the CR helping them to learn with more calmness, so it is not bitul zman.
When it comes to motzei shabbos, Chabad is interesting. In the SA Harav the Baal Hatanyeh paskens like the Rabbenu Tam, 4 mil from shkia, 72 minutes but in the siddur he paskens like the geonim, 3/4 of a mil after shkia, according to the location. They say that the Baal Hatanyeh changed his view in the siddur which was written later.
ujm, what is your excuse being on CR over 14 years?
The Ksav Sofer compares Yaakov’s dream of a ladder סולם (136) to a human being where he has the potential to climb from the earth to the heavens. The means are קול, tefila, צום, teshuva and ממון, tzedaka where each adds up to 136. Together it is 408 as ‘ב’זאת with this of the Jews יבא אהרן Aaron comes to the Beis Hamikdash.
It does not say kovato torah leitim, to set the Torah to the times but kovato itim latorah, set the times to the Torah. A man bought a small hat, so he went to the goldsmith to squeeze his head to make it fit to the hat rather than expand the hat to make it fit to his head. We don’t change the Torah to make it fit to the times.
Maybe that is the meaning of our Botei Kenesiyos and Medroshus that we prepare currently for the holiness of the last Beis Hamikdash will move to Jerusalem as it will be greater than the first.
MBS was just appointed Prime Minister, the de facto leader by King Salman.
When it comes to influence, a bad apple destroys the good and not the good apple makes the bad good.
Who has the influence on whom? Will she have the influence on him or will he have the influence on her? Yaakov Avinu over here learned from his mother Rivkah and did not want to risk this marriage.
Maybe he had holey (full of holes) thoughts.
Avira, I don’t think he had holy thoughts in his mind when according to the Targum Yonasan on הנה אנכי הולך למות, I will die and who cares what happens after that, he denied after life. He said what people wanted to hear but his heart was not in it.
See what we wrote at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rosh-hashanah-contradictory. Yom Kippur we have a mitzva of eating Erev Yom Kippur to make up for the simcha of Kabolas Hatorah. When Yom Kippur falls on Shabbos, our fasting is an oneg shabbos as it provides a simcha of forgiveness.
The reason that only Esav’s head ended up in Meoras Hapachpela as his heart was not in line with what he said.
The pruzbul was instituted by Hillel to avoid not wanting to lend when one cannot collect. To understand that the Beis Din can collect now but makes the lender their sheliach to collect.
On my question above, Artscroll distributes a Pruzbul form where it looks like that any three people can be judges.
The Sefer Vaydaber Moshe uses this pasuk in a joking manner, how frightening (too small) is this place it must be a shul. It says אתם נצבים היום (Rosh Hashanah) כולכם in unity ‘לםני ה the gemora in Rosh Hashanah says that it indicates in Beis Hamikdash.
Can any three people like hatoras nedarim sign it or rabonim?
We have two eyes. With one, we should look down to see our faults and with other look up to see the greatness of others. Korach, as Rashi says, his eyes fooled him. He did not use his eyes properly, he saw his own greatness and the lowness of others.
If something or someone is lost, give tzadakah to Rebbi Meir Baal Hanes and say א-להי דמאיר עננו, the
G-d of Meir answer me.Maybe both are true as it says with the mouth indicating learning where by the heart only one forgets and actions indicating teshuva where the mouth alone is not enough and the heart is also required.
The Rabbenu Bachaya sasys that the center rules. The mouth should follow the heart and the actions should also follow it especially for teshuva.
We should have concern for others.
An other option, maybe you can lease them for Yom Tov.
Rosh Hashanah might be called by Yom Teruah, a day of unity as utruas melech bo meaning reus, friendship.
The Haflaah in Panim Yafos says on our Parasha Nitzavim, ובחרת בחיים to choose life, emphasize always the positive which leads to love.
