Reb EliezerParticipant
He was given a standing ovation by the Republicans making him a hero.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy isn’t the first pair afraid that a second pair will come and be mazim them and therefore will be careful what they say as the second pair? The gemora says it is a chidush. Why trust the second pair more than the first?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rif at the end Eruvin says that Bavli and Yerusalmi argue, we pasken like Bavli because the Bavli came after it and would know what it was saying. I pointed out the Yabia Omer above who discusses the time of Rebbe Yeshuah ben Perachaya in great detail.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Moshav Zekeinim gives another reason. The executed’s family might have such strong hatred in their heart against the witnesses who killed him to get another two witnesses to be mazim them therefore hazoma will not work when killed. There is a midrash that says velo kaasher asa.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is an other limud. zomam leachiv, achiv kayem, means the brother is alive. So they ask even dead is called a brother? The Ritva answers there are two kinds of brothers, A real brother is called so even after death but this a brother in mitzvos which only applies when alive.
Reb EliezerParticipantFirst, what is the difference between eidei hakchasha, contradictory witnesses where they can testify separately and eidim zomemin where they get killed? By eidei hackhasha their taina, the agreement of their argument is being questioned whereas by eidim zomimin, indicating that they were together somewhere else at the time, the credibility of the witnesses is eliminated. The chidush is that we trust the second witnesses and not the first. When the individual was killed, the Ramban explains that Hashem would not have led to kill him and trust the first witnesses by the Beis Din when they were not honest and credible, so kaasher zomam does not apply. The Dubner Magid gives a mashel. Someone slapped someone, so the Beis Din rules to slap him back. He says it is not fair, I was slapped innocently and he is slapped when guilty. So once killed is not kaasher zomam, is not tit for tat. By a gamal poreach, a fast flying camel, an airplane where the trip can be made the same day, they should not become eidim zomemin.
Reb EliezerParticipantHalacha pesuka sheesov sonei l’Yaakov. Constantly in history. The chorban of the second Beis Hamikdash and the holocaust.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Kol Bo says that women have their first responsibility to their husbands and family. Therefore they are exempt from minyonim, krias Hatorah and advocating otherwise is no mesorah.
Reb EliezerParticipantMod, what you are saying does not make any sense. Maybe there is a router where everything received goes to one address.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chezkuni mentioned above is quoted from Pirkei d’Rebbi Eliezer 51.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf open orthodox violate our mesorah, how are they orthodox to unite with them?
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, don’t make it look like you don’t know what I and Rav Hoffman are talking about. Obviously, achdus among the orthodox.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe not all comes out.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantWhen people really do well, they don’t need to show off. The Rashbam explains that Yaakov Avinu told his sons, don’t make it look like you have when you don’t have.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe malachim wanted the hidden treasure, the secrets hidden in the Torah, so Moshe Rabbenu told them that if the simple understanding does not apply they cannot receive that either. The Ben Ish Chai illustrates this with a mashel. A father who had multiple children. He bought one of them a special suit which has precious stones and jewelry sewn into it. They all agreed that whoever gets the suit gets the valuables in it but the question was who it was intended for? The youngest one gets up and says, let’s try it on see who it fits?
The Chasam Sofer explains that in order to be mechadesh something in the Torah we have to put the effort into it through kashyes by revealing the hidden buried treasures. The haflah says that a kashye is a divine intervention, a siyata dishmaya. He gives a mashel to a simpleton who was given a diamond. He thinks, what can I do with it? So, he goes to a goldsmith, as he likes gold, he tells to cover it in gold. As he was no expert in the field, he left some holes behind. The simpleton sees the gold but the smart one sees the diamond under the gold which gets revealed through the kashyes.Reb EliezerParticipantAs stated above the neshama was blown in through the nose, so it would be blown out through the nose.
Reb EliezerParticipantA sneeze might need an immune system as bacteria is being released and infect on the way out.
Reb EliezerParticipantshlucha22, you have the best answer.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey say that people too protected from illness are more apt to get sick as the immune system is not built up to fight it.
December 17, 2021 9:30 am at 9:30 am in reply to: Tu Beshvat, Bracha and Shecheyonu Which Comes First #2042679Reb EliezerParticipantThe shaila above could be if shecheyanu is bracha for the availability to the individual or the world. They might be available to the world but not to him because it is too expensive. So what does one care?
Reb EliezerParticipantהמטה is gematria 59 indicating when a sick person is visited 1/60 is taken away. The gemora in Nedorim 30, asks then 60 people will take away the whole illness. The gemora answers 1/60 of what is left over. Tosfas explains that it only applies to ben gilo, his mazel.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Klei Yakar explains the reason why an am haaretz is not allowed to eat meat. What makes him better than an animal? The learning of the Torah and that is why Noach was allowed meat. He knew the difference between animals to sacrifice, whereas Adam Harishon is not clearly seen that he learned Torah, so he was not allowed to eat meat.
Reb EliezerParticipantA tourist comes from Hebrew word tur as losur.
Reb EliezerParticipantVayechi
The difference between Yaakov and Yisrael the Rabbenu Bachaya explains that life of Yaakov refers to the physical and coming of death of Yisrael to the spiritual.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe above Magen Avraham says that the order is after sneezing that first the one hearing it says asuse, to your health then he answers baruch tihyeh, bless be you and after that he says the pasuk to himself. As first he has to pray for others to get answered first.
מגן אברהם סימן רל ס”ק ו
‘מי שמתעטש וחבירו א”ל אסותא יאמר לו ברוך תהיה ואח”כ יאמר לישועתך קויתי ה
דהמתפלל על חבירו הוא נענ’ תחלה יש”ש ב”ק פ”ח סי’ ס”דReb EliezerParticipantQANON and Trump won the election. Neither of them do I believe in.
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, We have a special obligation to pursue a meis mitzva, a mitzva neglected.
Reb EliezerParticipant1080 is not divisible by 16 and 32.
Reb EliezerParticipantEven when getting sick, sometimes people pass away suddenly, so everyday we still must do teshuva. We should always see it as this is our last day and a reprieve was given to us by returning the day to us.
Reb EliezerParticipantI usually say it.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chezkuni on Breishis (48,1) says that before Yaakov Avinu there was no illness. Wherever a person was, he would sneeze and then passed away. Yaakov Avinu prayed for illness to prepare for one’s passing.
The Magen Avraham says that when one sneezes, he should say ‘לשועתך קויתי ה, I hope for Your help and then the people say, to your health. Labriuth, Gesuntheit, or Naz Dravye in Russian or Polish as a thanks for being alive.Reb EliezerParticipantThat is an 1/1080 of an hour.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Ben Ish Chai gives a mashel to realize that the real treasure is the Torah. The father, to make his plants grow nicely where rain is scarce, had an irrigation canal which he would dig out from rocks and pebbles periodically to ensure that water could flow without any obstruction. When dying, he commanded his sons to dig out the ditch as a treasure is buried in it. The brothers followed the fathers instructions but did not find any treasure. They surmised that the father was not by his mind at the time he commanded them. Later, when they saw how everything grew nicely compared to others, they realized what the father meant by the treasure. The Torah is like the water flowing but sometimes it gets stuffed up, so we have work on it to allow the water to flow without any obstruction makes trees grow that bear beautiful fruits. באר חפרוה שרים The Torah is compared to a well that was dug out by rulers over their bad inclinations כרוה נדיבי עם those who learn Torah lishmo, for its own sake with the help of Moshe Rabbenu.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe five rules of shechita make sure that no pain occurs.
Reb EliezerParticipantMentioned in Sefer Shevil Harakia we find one of the most interesting gematrios:
החדש הזה לכם ראש חדשים ראשון הוא לכם לחדשי השנה adds up to 2658 the same as כמה תשעה ועשרים יום ומחצה ותשצג חלקים
how much 12 1/2 days and 793 chalokim (from one molad to another) where a chelek is 1/1080.
1080 is divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12.15,16,18,20,24,30,32,36Reb EliezerParticipantAs the Torah forbids cruelty to animals (tzaar baalei chaim), it has been shown that our shechita is the most humane way to kill them without any pain.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is one more dechiya, pushing Rosh Hashana to the next day, if the molad of Tishri would be in the afternoon of the day that Rosh Hashana would have been designated. By any other Rosh Chodash we would make two days Rosh Chodash and count the next month from the second day but by Rosh Hashana we count Tishri from the first day.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantubi, you are right.
Reb EliezerParticipantFor Hungarians, there is a book called The Politics of GENOCIDE, The Holocaust in Hungary by Randolph L. Braham, 1998, which describes the deportation.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen I was born in the beginning of 5748 (1948), my father z’l was taken into custody. He reported someone making anti-Semitic speeches. Originally he was called in as witness and found an excuse for not appearing. However then he had no excuse and two policemen came to get him.
Reb EliezerParticipantEven though I thank Hashem that I was born afterwards, I experienced some of it. I heard stories constantly of my parents experiences seeing my father z’l crying when he talked about his wife and two daughters killed in Aucshwitz. I visited my father’s labor camp at Mauthausen, Austria when being around 10 years old, and seeing the lookout towers, prisons and crematorium ovens. I heard my mother a’h tell stories of her working for I.G. Farben filling grenades.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe above szombat is pronounced sombot like ‘all’ at the end. Hetfo is pronounced heit and the german Ostreich in the beginning for Austria at the end. Het means week and fo means head like fej meaning head of the week.
Reb EliezerParticipantShabbos in Hungarian is Szombat and Monday is called Hetfo meaning start of the week with umlauts on both vowels.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe climate changes through the seasons determined by the sun whereas Jewish holidays are determined through the moon. Pesach is spring and Sukkos fall time causes a Jewish leap year 7 times in 19 years in order that lunar year having normally 354 days and the solar year 365 1/4 days even itself out. The mnemonic is guchadzut, 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, 19 year in 19 years becomes a Jewish leap year. A calendar is available in the Tur after siman 428 which enumerates each of the 19 years determined by Cheshvan and Kislev if they are deficient, both 29 days, full, both 30 days or even one 29 days and the other 30 days. The rest of the months cycle between 29 and 30 days. 6×29 + 6×30 = 174 + 180 = 354 days. The variation of the two months above causes the movement of Rosh Hashanah as Adu lo Rosh, the Rosh Hashanah cannot fall on Wednesday or Friday. Rosh Hashanah cannot be on a Sunday in order Hashanah Rabba should not fall on a shabbos eliminating the knocking off the hashanas and Yom Kippur should not be next to shabbos in order that there should not be two consecutive days where work is not allowed.
Reb EliezerParticipantbored_teen, they say alles bei einem is nisht bei keinem, all by one exits by none.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Haflaah gives another answer. Avraham Avinu worked on motzei shabbos. Figure out the answer.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, thanks for straighten him out.
Reb EliezerParticipantHealth, you are against democracy. Maybe you should go Russia which you will like better than the US. Go to the real thing rather than like Putin.
