Reb EliezerParticipant
I wear my tefillin sixty years, so I don’t have to worry about this.
March 22, 2021 11:20 pm at 11:20 pm in reply to: No more kids divrei Torah before Avodim Hayinu #1959697Reb EliezerParticipantExplain by Avodim Hayinu all the kashyes they have on ho lachma.
Reb EliezerParticipantSimilarly, if the eruv is down, don’t tell one on the street.
March 22, 2021 2:38 pm at 2:38 pm in reply to: Gebrok halacha? Liquids in Pesach Dip recipes (for matza) #1959625Reb EliezerParticipantThe way it should be spelled gebrochts meaning something broken in german.
March 22, 2021 2:38 pm at 2:38 pm in reply to: Gebrok halacha? Liquids in Pesach Dip recipes (for matza) #1959624Reb EliezerParticipantSee more about gebroks discussed before at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/eating-gebroks-on-pesach.
March 22, 2021 2:38 pm at 2:38 pm in reply to: Gebrok halacha? Liquids in Pesach Dip recipes (for matza) #1959623Reb EliezerParticipantI will tell you being familiar with german the meaning and origin of gebrochs is. We break matzas and pour on it hot coffee. Matzah Meal used for making knaidlach is brocken matzahs. Some like to break matzahs into soup.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey say kitniyos is what is called legume including rice which should be mutar until chatzos. The shabbos lunch will be early this year, so cholent beans without barley should no be a problem.
Reb EliezerParticipantTo your example the Malbim in Parashas Noach explains that the mabul created a chemical change thereby make it look that the earth is older than it really is.
Reb EliezerParticipantKitniyos, legume we find the Rav Mordechai 588, who says tbat kitniyos is assur because flour can be made from it and mistakenly exchanged with chametzdig flour whereas gebrochs is a chumra because of matzah not baked well, touching water and becoming chametz. No rishonim asser gebrochs. It is a far consideration. See the RMA O’CH 453,1
Reb EliezerParticipantThe sefer above is a priminent Haggadah called Maasei Hashem from tbe Rav of Crakow after the RMA.
Reb EliezerParticipantAs the MB above says, we don’f differentiate and we always have tbe egg and chicken neck, on the seder plate. At ho lachma anya, remembering our exile that currently anyone can take part in the sudah without being counted on as explained by tbe Naasei Hashem, we remove them to realize that currently we don’t have tnem.

Reb EliezerParticipantTrump was never impeached for his behavior towards women.
March 21, 2021 9:10 am at 9:10 am in reply to: Very late Friday night (Shabbos) Minyan in Flatbush #1959224Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the Chasam Sofer Shut O’CH 80.
Reb EliezerParticipantMoshe Rabbenu wanted to show that even if Bilam is on top of a mountain, he is still small as the aleph in vatikro.
Reb EliezerParticipantDY, does he mean eating kitniyos after chatzos?
Reb EliezerParticipantתורת משה בראשית פרק מה
כי פי המדבר אליכם. פירש”י כי פי המדבר בלשון הקודש, נראה כי סגולת לשון הקודש שלא יתקיים באדם שאינו משמר עצמו בקדושה, שפלא גדול הוא בגלות בבל בזמן שבעים שנה נשתכח לשון הקודש והי’ העם חציים מדבר כשדית ואשדודי’ יען כי לא שמרו עצמם בקדושה, ולזה נתן להם יוסף אות על דרכו הטוב במה שלשון הקודש מורגל ושגור בפיו.The words of the Chasam Sofer in Torahs Moshe:
The speaking of Lashon Hakadash has a benefit that it only stays if one conducts oneself with sanctity because it is a great wonder how in the duration of seventy years lashon hakadash was forgotten and other languages spoken because they did not keep themselves holy, so Yosef gave them a proof on his proper behavior that his constant speaking language was lashon hakadash.
And we can add the fact that he was circumcised.Reb EliezerParticipantse2015, thank you for quoting the Rambam.
Reb EliezerParticipantכי פי המדבר עליכם – בלשון הקודש the writings I don’t know, referenced the gemoras speaking about it but the language is holy as the Ramban says there are no dirty words in it. Akuperma it is despicable to say Loshan Hakadash is dead as it is too holy to be used.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe also find it in Bavli Sanhedrin (21,1).
Reb EliezerParticipantYou might want to look at the Yerushalmi Megilla Halacha 9.
Reb EliezerParticipantObviously above should be אלקים.
Reb EliezerParticipantLomdus, iin-depth, thorough analysis of a Torah topic on the Parasha of the week in English is at your fingertilps.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says זבחי אלגים רוח נשברה a true sacrifice is a broken spirit לב נשבר ונדכא אלקים לא תבזה a broken and humble heart Hashem does not foresake.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a cinnection between Pesach and Rosh Hashanah, teshuvah meahave, Pesach which is isaruse mileailo a wakeup from above, whereas Rosh Hashana, teshuva miyiroh whiich a isaruso miletato, wakeup from below. Rosh Hashanah we avoid eating nuts whereas Pesach it is a mitzva. Tbe remaz is the letters before שופר is קערה.

Reb EliezerParticipantYou don’t have to know Hebrew to appreciate Lomdus, indelving in fhe Torah in English.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is earlier minyan, so we eat liunch before chatzos being no problem.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere are two consideratiins here, an egg on the kaara is for chagigah mentioned in SA O’CH 473,4 and tbe MB s’k 22 there discusses the egg on motze sbabbos seder either we have one or twio tavshilin by not differentiating, lo palug. Eating eggs at the meal, is in the RMA in SA O’CH 477,2 because of Tisha Beov as a zecher, so women can also take part like everything else of tbe seder meal.

Reb EliezerParticipantIt says in the Parasha of Vayikra אדם כי יקריב מכם קרבן it should have said כי יקריב אדם מכם קרבן this is telling us how to sacrifice a korban like Adam Harishan by sacrificing himself together with the sacrifice. The holy Alshich explains the meaning והבל הביא גם הוא Havel brought himself with the korban. The Ramban explains the meaning of a korban that a person should think that everything done to it should be done to him. The right thought is very important because the Rambam explains that by itself the bringing of a sacrifice is a barbaric act which was done to an a’z.
March 18, 2021 6:35 pm at 6:35 pm in reply to: Vayikra-Worth Its Salt:Lust and Glory Forbidden, Kinah Is Given A Place of Honor #1958675Reb EliezerParticipantThe famous statement interpretation of the Kli Yakar and others on בשמים ממעל ועל הארץ מתחת, when it comes to heavenly, spriritual things, you should look at people above yourself, to be envious of them and thereby try to follow them. Whereas, for earlthly, material things, look at people below you, to be satisfed for what you have by recognizing that others have less than what you have.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat is Chagigas Erev Pesach? The chiyuv is for being in Jerusalem for yom tov and done as early as possible.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe filibuster currently is obstruction and can be racist. It has to reformed to stand, speak and justify one’s point about the issue as it used to be otherwise it is invoked just for obstruction.
March 18, 2021 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm in reply to: Gebrok halacha? Liquids in Pesach Dip recipes (for matza) #1958587Reb EliezerParticipantAsk your LOR what is part of the custom as it is not a halacha.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Nodah Beyehuda’s YD (2,148) son differentiates between shituf and swearing. Shutaf for a non-jew is also assur but swearing is not. Tosfas in Tractate A’Z (2,1) says that we know for a fact that the akum don’t really worship the current a’z, so we can do business with them.
Reb EliezerParticipantSince that is no erva by men the question is there hirhur. Hair is assur because of hirhur. Erva is not related to being used to but hirhur is.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy prove was from rishonim quoted by the above Aruch Hashulchan that we follow the custom of the current behavior. We can make brachas with men wearing only undergarments because we are used to that. This answers the BaltimoreMaven question also but by women two wrongs don’t make a right.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a time of chagiga as Shevuos we say zman matan torasenu and not yom matan torasenu.
Reb EliezerParticipantTosfas says that christianity is not an a’z. They arej ust following their customs as the RMA O’CH 156 about having a partnershp with a goy.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Aruch Hashulchan O’CH 75, says that hair not covered by a woman does not prohibit davenen infront of it since this became a custom, there is no hirhur. The MB argues on this. Certainly currently boys are used to seeing each other like that.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe egg is eaten as a remaz for Tisho Beov falling on the same day. The Chasam Sofer explains the relationship. If they would not have been taken out of mitzraim before the four hundred years, no charban would have occured. The Jews are like eggs where the more they are cooked, the harder they become.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a concession here where they are willing to set aside their view for the greater good to make each other happy.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a comprimise as there is an agreement satisfying and making both sides happy and there is concessiion involved on both sides by willing to give up one’s fiew for something else.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy definition of a compromise is to do something where both sides are satisfied and happy with it without regard to any concessions which will create peace.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Mechaber SA YD 289,6 says place it vertically like Rashi and the RMA mentions the Rabbenu Taam’s view to place it horizontally and says that whoever wants to satisfy both views should place it slanted. I think this is a compromise satisfying both views. The husband and wife should do things they are both happy with. Whether a compromise is concession or not does not make a difference.
Reb EliezerParticipantYD, The RMA SA YD 289,6 says שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות מזוזה סימן רפט סעיף ו
והמדקדקין, יוצאין ידי שניהם, (ט) ומניחים אותה בשפוע ובאלכסון (טור והגהות מיימוני ומהרי”ל ות”ה סי’ נ”ב),
we satisfy both views. I think that is not avoiding but compromising.Reb EliezerParticipantThe proof is from RMA SA YD 289,6 who says that the שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות מזוזה סימן רפט סעיף ו
והמדקדקין, יוצאין ידי שניהם, (ט) ומניחים אותה בשפוע ובאלכסון (טור והגהות מיימוני ומהרי”ל ות”ה סי’ נ”ב),Reb EliezerParticipantWe pasken like the machria because he creates a compromise.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think if you do something according to everyone’s view is a compromise.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe compromise by picking a means that is good for everyone.
Reb EliezerParticipantDon’t Toi with me. Mi samcha leish? Who are you to tell me what to do when I believe I am right as mentioned on the other website and you have not convinced me otherwise. If one is wrong the other is right. If you are not saying both views are wrong, it is a compromise. Why don’t we follow the right view?
