What is this about yibbum, when currently there is no yibbum but chalitza?
There is a difference between מומר לתאבון an otd from desire and מומר להכעיס and an otd to anger. An otd to anger passes his non-beliefs to his children whereas an otd from desire will not. An otd from desire will repent when the age of desire is gone, whereas the otd to anger will never repent. I would say that otd to anger will be a מסית ומדיח, someone who makes others sin, and can be called Ym”s.
I think the prayer we say don’t bring me to temptation and don’t bring me to shame. We can interpret this that if you bring me to temptation, you will bring me to shame.
Revealing a secret is lashan hara. A kohen was killed when he revealed to his friend that the floor was not level in the Beis Hamikdash and the holy ark was hidden there.
There is a pasuk in Mishlei 11: 13 הולך רכיל מגלה סוד one goes and gossips by revealing secrets.
He is enciting people with his conspiracy theories. It is similar like yelling fire in a crowded theater causing riots which harms individuals.

Gaon, you did not answer my question in 1571760 as it says mitzva and not chiyuv.
No, in either way, people who care will ask, where is your hat or they don’t know and their won’t be an embarassment. As according to the Baer
Hetev above you are not mechuyav to spend any money on a minyan but not gaining money might be different.Takes2 – Look at the Baer Hetev O:CH 90:13 many of your questions will be answered.
Gaon, does permission of Erev Techumin required to be a Chiyuv or just a Mitzva?
The MB in O”CH 415:4 mentions the creating an Eruv Texhuman for a minyan is a mitzva.
I think the argument between Yaakov Avinu and the brothers is, if to satisfy the judgement requirement for kidnapping do you have to kill the whole city of Shechem or satisfy the requirement by some other means like making them slaves.
It does not say in the above mentioned source that it is a chiyuv, It says that effort should be exerted. More important to daven in a shul and the time people are davening.
There is a Baal Haturim on ויקץ יעקב משנתו ויאמר Yaakov Avinu woke up from his sleep and said, has the last letters צבור indicating that ones prayer is only listened to in unity. We need each others zachusim that our prayers be listened to. It says before אכן יש ה’ במקום הזה ואנכי לא ידעתי could be related to the above, Hashem exists in this place provided I put aside my egotism.
Gaon, Where do you find lehalacha that for a mitzva, you are allowed to endanger yourself when sofek pikuach nefesh is docheh shabbos even if it is hudcheh having against the mitzva the mitzva of ushmartem es nafshasechen?
Shulchan Aruch O”CH 90:9
Where is that Meiri? I don’t think that the above Chezkuni upholds that.
Gaon, Yaakov Avinu held like the Samuel Hanovi that this is a שכיח הזיקא where being harmed is prevalent so the mitzva will not protect you.
1 – I explained already that assuming that you have a good reason going to this place on vacation, so you are not doing anything wrong since you davened already with a minyan before you left. It is recommended that, if there is a shul, daven there and the time when people daven.
It’s a מצוה הבאה בעבירה, mitzva through an averoh for him.
Joseph, did you see the rephrasing of the question. There is nothing wrong
in going to a vacation. You daven with a minyan before you leave.Gaon, I think the question that Yaakov Avinu had , do I have to put myself
in a precarious situation in order to enforce the law that might get me killed and then have to rely on a miracle to get saved?I will rephrase your question. Are you allowed to do something currently (where you don’t do anything wrong) which will cause that later on you have to rely on a bedaved davening without a minyan?
You can’t compare it to the case where the hot water spilled on shabbos because there is mitzva to do milah which causes the pikuach nefesh to heat water after. Here there is no mitzva to go on vacation.
His writings in דברי יואל are still alive.
Gaon, look at the Chezkuni 34:25 ד”ה ויהרגו כל זכר it looks like they have a chiyuv to create a court to enforce the laws of kidnapping and if they don’t that it becomes our responsibility.
I remember that a kosher animal that chews its cud has multiple stomachs so I don’t think this is scientifically possible.
According to the above Ohr Hachaim why do we need to create a new entity let us do a genetic modification to make it kosher?
The Ohr Hachaim says in Parshas Shemini that there will be a new pig created by the redemption that will chew its cud which will be kosher. Aisov who is compared to the pig being fake showing its cut hoofs will repent and therefore it will become kosher.
The Ramban says that the people of Shchem were responsible for not enforcing Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach and therefore deserved death.
The yahr zeit to remember him by is כואב, pain – the 26th of Av.
Something to remeber him by. It says in Parshas Eikev מראשית השנה עד אחרית שנה from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Why is there a specific article ה ידוע in the beginning of the year. I heard the explanation in his name that every beginning of the year a person thinks this is the year (for the redemption), but at the end realizes that it is like any other year. This is the meaning of הן גאלתי אתכם אחרית כראשית it will be said that the redemption at the end will be like the beginning.
We can create unity among the different groups according the writing of Rav Eliyohu Dessler in Mchtav Eliyohu saying that every group serves Hashem with their nature, some are cold and some are warm. There are different ways of serving Him. The importance is to serve Him and not how we serve Him.
If unity is that knaidlach are good, I agree.
If the unity comes about an agreement that Torah comes from Hashem no big deal they have unity. Also if there is one G-d unity is ensured.
If the meeting about chasidus, it is great that they can have unity. So unity about what?
Could be a ת”ח should have שמינית שבשמינית 1/64 of humility which is the ר”ת of סייעתא דשמיא recognizing that he needs Heavenly help to find the truth in learning. I also heard that Mount Sinai the smallest mountain is 1/64th of the largest mountain Har Karmel.
How does one shteig (climb higher)? There is constantly a confilct between the body and soul. The Ben Ish Chay says the Shabbos is a day of peace because eating for shabbos sake unites them. To make peace and resolve them explains the Chasam Sofer we do something small for the benefit of the soul until the body gets used to it and continue this to improve ourself day by day. This is what is meant in סור מרע ועשה טוב בקש שלום ורדפהו turn away from bad and do good by creating peace (between body and soul) through fighting the peace.
It says שוב יום אחד לפני מותך repent a day before your death. As the person does not know when this day comes, he will repent every day. Every day he will climb to higher level so the yetzer hara becomes stronger, because כל הגדול מחבירו יצרו גדול ממנו, whoever is greater than his friend, his yetzer hara becomes also greater.
Help from Above is also required to understand and find the truth in our learning. The Chasam Sofer explains that the Torah has hidden treasures and through Hashem’s help they get revealed. The Hafloh says that a question comes from Heavenly help. I explained that the Jews encountered bitter water and through a bitter tree it became sweet. Comparing this to the learning of Torah, sometimes we don’t understand at all our learning making it completely bitter. We are helped to find the truth through a question, but a question itself without an answer is also bitter. When an answer is found, it becomes sweet.
Heavenly help or help from the Heavens. It says יצרו של אדם מתגבר עליו בכל יום the yetzer hara of the person strengthens itself every day ואלמלא הקב”ה עוזר לו לא יוכל לו if Hashem would not help the person, he could not fight him.
Look at Shut Yechaveh Daas 1:43 discussing the importance of saying Nachem even though some wanted to change it.
