Reb EliezerParticipant
They hate Trump because of his lack of human behavior, separating families, dismissing 3000 dead in Puorto Rico , calling people names, celebrating white nationalists, not carring about the poor’s ‘livelihood and their health care.
September 13, 2018 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm in reply to: Rabbi Miller on walking during davening #1590976Reb EliezerParticipantLook at SA O”CH 98:4 davenen should be like the korbonos, sacrifice which was done at a fixed place and not done all over the place.
Reb EliezerParticipantDon’t taking it literally. He was saying that people who wear a small yarmulke have a small brain, they are not so smart, otherwise they would be wearing a larger one. Any way most of the head should be covered. רובו ככולו most is considered like the whole.
September 13, 2018 8:47 pm at 8:47 pm in reply to: Driving German cars by ” heimish” people. #1590956Reb EliezerParticipantMy mother filled granades in IG Farben being strong enough to work thereby sent to the right in Auschwitz.
Reb EliezerParticipantI did not meet the Lebovitcher Rebbe personally, but I saw something interesting in his farbrengen.
When someone wanted to drink wine and make a lechaim, he would lift his cup such that the Rebbe would see it and after the Rebbe saw it, he would nod his head with an acknowledgement to drink.
When davening his daled amos was left empty.Reb EliezerParticipantThe way I understand it is that there are kitrugim, so you need to shoot many arrows or tefilos at the same place to shoot through and when you move around that is not happening.
Reb EliezerParticipant1, King Solomon says אל תצדק הרבה don’t be too relgious because you put your emphasis on mitzvos that apply between you and G-d forgetting mitzvos between you and your fellow man and not caring about insulting someone.
Reb EliezerParticipantI agree, but if the companies are out for themselves by not paying a living wage and their is no job training then the government has to help.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Maasei Hashem explains that Avraham Avinu what shown the stars. Didn’t he see it himself? This is what Hashem told him. You will be lighting up the world like the stars by spreading Emunas Hashem around the world. If they keep the seven mitzvos , we should not exclude them but respect them. There is a question if shutaf is forbidden by a non-jew. Also, they follow their religion as a custom and not a belief.
Reb EliezerParticipantAbout putting Rabomim on top of the list , the gemora in Nedorim says that the exile came שלא ברכו בתורה תחילה they did not make a brocho before learning. The Ran explains that the Torah had no chashivus in their eyes to make a blessing on it. The Chasam Sofer says there, baderech malitza, that when they praised someone they praised first his secular knowledge over his Torah knowledge. Borchu can also mean praising.
Reb EliezerParticipantI once heard from Rav Shulman was asked how big a yarmulke you should have? He said it should cover your brain. The explanation is that we dress up the sefer Torah because you want to protect what is valuable.
Reb EliezerParticipant1 – Are you a religious person? Before Yom Kippur, I would be concerned for my own lot and not insult people.
Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, your party does not care about the poor, sick, workers and uneducated.
Reb EliezerParticipant1, Look at the mishna in the 7th Perek in Aholos that under certain circumstances the baby is a radof so the mother comes first. אשה שהיא מקשה לילד מחתכין את הולד במיעה The Maharshoh explains that was the reason Pharaoh picked jewish midwifes because the Jews are not commanded on the uborim which is punished heavenly not by beis din. It is only monetary punishment. When it comes to the Iran Deal, Israel is more endangered now because they are not checked in what they are doing.
Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t know what he says, but I can explain what is wrong with it. The reason we need a makom kavia by davening according to the Ari z”l is because davening is compared to the shooting of an arrow, When you shoot an arrow from multiple places, you cannot shoot through.
Reb EliezerParticipantNo one is all good and no one is all bad.
Reb EliezerParticipant1, Protecting the borders is our values even it separates families?
Reb EliezerParticipantMB brings in SA O”CH 2:6 s’K 10 the gemora Shabbos 156 Cover your head in order to have the fear of Heaven on you, can be that you should recognize that there is someone above you.
Reb EliezerParticipantאתם נצבים היום כלכם לפני ה’ אךקיכם we stand in judgement on Rosh Hashana in unity before Hashem our
G-d.Reb EliezerParticipantThe Zahor Hakadosh says that the reason is that the mother (Hashem) should look for her children. It says that it will be happening that a nest of birds will be found by you, but the problem is that it is written with an aleph when it should have been written with a heh. Similarly Yaakov Avinu tells his children that I will tell you what will happen and the end of days, again written with an aleph. Maybe, it says in the Midrash that Moshiach can be brought for three reasons where all three are related to reading or speech. Learning of mishnayos, belief and the act of bowing down showing appreciation for the good, That is Mishnayos, Krias Shma and Davening. What about if he does not want the birds or the eggs? There are three reason, protecting the species showing mercy and the above. According to the two reasons no because you are protecting the species, if you don’t take the birds or eggs and you show more mercy by leaving them with the mother.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe sefer Hachinuch explains that the bringing of Bikurim is a sign of Hakoras Hatov. He recognizes that Hashem has helped him plant a tree and to grow fruit. The first the most appreciated and he is willing to part from and giving it to Hashem thereby showing that He is more beloved than himself.
Reb EliezerParticipantובחרת בחיים The explains that to convince Jews to the follow the mitzvos of the Torah should be done from life, positive reinforcement, telling him that he will gain Gan Eden not vice versa because then he will accept the Torah and mitzvos from love.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a logic to be happy for slichos for appreciating that Hashem because of his mercy gives us an opportunity once a year to ask for His forgiveness. Rosh Hashana is a day we designate such that the satan does not know when it is to be mekadreg and Hashem the King sits on His throne when we tell him so.
Reb EliezerParticipantIs it our values to separate families where the Aguda had a statement against it?
Reb EliezerParticipantSholom Schnitzler,from London zt’l , Simon Wisenthal in LInz, Austria. He was a stamp collector. The Mattersdorfer Rav zt’l father and son were my rebbies. The Viener Rav (Hadhauser) was my rebbi. Learned together with Menachem Fischer Viener Dayan Shlita, Dovid Yitzchok Schik Shlita,
Binyomin Gruber Rav Hamachshir for Hisachdus Harabonim Shlita, Rav Noach Isik Oehlbaum Shlita.Reb EliezerParticipantLIpa Schmeltzer performed at my sons wedding.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhether to say selichos or not is an argument by Reb Moshe O”CH 2:95 and Rav Ovadyah Yosef Yechaveh Daas 1:46 and Shareh Tshuva in the beginning SA O”CH 581 about saying selichos, the thirteen midos, before chatzos. According to kabalah it hurts by starting up with midas hadin considered קוצץ בנטיעות..
Reb EliezerParticipantIn the above tshuva Rav Ovadyah Yosef suggests tp say it before Mincha if it is not possible to say it after chatzos.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey need linear translation selichas and kinnos to understand what they are saying so it should be appreciated.
Reb EliezerParticipantubiquitin – We say all selichos without music and all kinnos including extra selected pieces which are easy to understand for the holocaust.
Reb EliezerParticipantIsn’t this thread about selichos, I am confused why are we talking about kinnos?
September 5, 2018 7:55 pm at 7:55 pm in reply to: Why are Children from divorced homes treated as second class citizens? #1587982Reb EliezerParticipantThe pasuk above for the sefardim should be:
לכו אל יוסף כל אשר יאמר “לכם” תעשו
September 5, 2018 6:25 pm at 6:25 pm in reply to: Why are Children from divorced homes treated as second class citizens? #1587939Reb EliezerParticipantBoth the Ashkanazim and Sefardim have pasukim who to folllow. The Ashkanazim according to the Chasam Sofer ובני ישראל יוצאים ביד רמה and the sefardim according to Harav Ovadyah Yosef Yechaveh Daas 5 לכו אל יוסף כל אשר יאמר לך תעשו.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says יפה תלמוד תורה עם דרך ארץ even when we learn Torah we should have derech eretz. לעולם יהי’ אדם he should always be a mentsch.
Reb EliezerParticipantLook up the introduction in the Rabbi Abraham Rosenfeld slichos that these designations indicate the poetic structure not tune, duplications according aleph beis, reverse aleph beis, rhyming and introduction, pesicha e,g. pizman refrain and repetition of the last stanza, sheniyoh, a two lined strophes, shlishiyoh, three lined strophes and shalmiyus, four line strophes.
Reb EliezerParticipantIn Europe the Reform Movement, Neolog brought organs into shul which was forbidden by Orthodox Rabonim going back to the Chasam Sofer.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Magen Avraham 25 paskens that halacha supersedes kabalah e.g. when it comes to put tefillin on the hand sitting down or standing as our gemora indicates that mitzvas should be done standing as the implication of bekomo, bekama which is an accepted rule by the ashkanazim and certainly the brocho should be said standing. So, the paskim rule that we should not daven to malochim see Maharam Shik 293.
Reb EliezerParticipantFor a discussion of tefila to malochim like midas horachamim and its adjustments see Encyclopedia Otzar Yisroel under malochim.
Reb EliezerParticipantMilhouse, what does it hurt to daven to Hashem rather than directly to malochim that could hurt. He could be ovar on שם אלהים אחרים לא ישמע על פיך See the Minchas Elozor not to say the names of the malochim by shofar aloud, where some is incorrect. See Korban Nesanel at the end of the first perek in Tractate Rash Hashana about the stanza midas horachamim. Could you give me the source that their opinion is rejected.
September 5, 2018 8:18 am at 8:18 am in reply to: Why are Children from divorced homes treated as second class citizens? #1587357Reb EliezerParticipantThe Beth Hilel says that divorce is permitted even if she burns his food.
They say if someone is so petty that he wants to divorce for that, then it is better to divorce because there is no future for this marriage.Reb EliezerParticipantAvi K, Hashem wants to merciful but also just. Yaakov Avinu asked the sar of Aisov to accept the Brochas of Yitzchok Avinu. We need that the malochim should not be מקטרג, accusatory and allow Midas Horachmim to rule.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy does not the ten days of repentance come before Rash Hashanah?
We can’t repent before we accept that we are responsible to someone. By saying Hamelech Hakadash we are proclaiming that we are making Hashem King on us. Being His servant gives us an aura of hapiness that He desires our service and He does not set us aside, but it also brings on us a sense pf responsibility. We have to atone for our lack of service that a King like Hashem deserves and repent for our bad deeds.Reb EliezerParticipantMilhouse, in all cases we should pray to Hashem to command the malochim or midas horachamim to intercede in our behalf.
Reb EliezerParticipantTakes2, yes, if he mechallel shabbos lehachis where his wine would be yayin nesech and is mumor lechol hatorah kulah, but not letaiovan when he is a tinuk shenishbo.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Mahrik says that if there is an explanation, bechukasehem does not apply, since we are not following them blindly. So if there is an explanation a’z does not apply, as anyway, I said that the red band is a symbolism.
Reb EliezerParticipantAnyway, in the ten days, Hashem is close to us and we don’t need the malochim to intercede for us. The Rosenfeld slichos that I say for Austria Hungary does not have the pizman malachei rachamim.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe difference is speaking on a specific group or individual instead of speaking in general, but as long as they are pen-names used, the individuals are not known.
Reb EliezerParticipantI explained why they put a red band on a baby. We make a proclamation through symbolism that we recognize that we are sinners (a sin is reflected in red), so the child should not be punished because of us.
Reb EliezerParticipantSomething related to above is in SA YD 334, an argument between the Rema and the TAZ, if we worry about the cinsequences when we put someone in cherem.
September 3, 2018 11:13 am at 11:13 am in reply to: Cars Blowing Past School Buses With Lights Flashing #1584985Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a chilul Hashem. If you know who it is, admonish him first privately. If this does not work, follow the Rambam Hilchas Deas 6:8 for heavenly things.
