    Töltött káposzta for Hungarians, cholopchis for the Polish, gefilte kraut for Germans or in Yiddish, stuffed cabbage for the Americans and כרוב ממולא for the Israelis.

    Maybe currently, children do gelilla because they cannot lift the Sefer Torah. I don’t think it is an embarrassment as in the olden times הגולל נוטל שכר כולן, Megilla 32, gelilah was greater than everything. Dressing the Sefer Torah is a great zechus.

    RNC calls Jan 6 a ‘legitimate political discourse’ as admitted by Trump to overturn the election, according to the former governor of New Jersey.

    They say people get what they deserve. Trump had no government experience at all, so he was never suited for the position.

    I beg to differ. It was not the DNC but the Democratic Party of Arizona.

    Trump is against democracy. When the states approved the electoral college counts, Trump wanted Vice President Pence to stop the certification for his lack of proven cause and hunches. אין ספק מוציא מידי וודאי a doubt does not rule over certainty.

    Like the ארון, spiritual not be satisfied when looking at someone greater than you, whereas like the שולחן, physical be satisfied as there are people who have less than you.

    It says בשמים ממעל ועל הארץ מתחת, the heaven above and earth below. Isn’t this obvious? Says the Kli Yakar that when it comes to heavenly, spritual things look at people above you, who are greater than you to learn from them, whereas by material, physical things, look at people below you, so you will be satisfied with what you have.

    What about the standing filibuster?

    ubi, your question is an old question. The solution was the Great Compromise where two houses were created in Congress, one with equal representation, the Senate and the other by population, the House.
    If the filibuster requires standing and talking as it used to be, there will be less filibuster.

    The filibuster has made the senate obstructionist, so if you want something done, you have no choice.

    The Midrash compares the mishkan to a king who married off his daughter. He felt bad that he cannot be close to her. So he built a hut close to her and said wherever you go I always will be near you. Hashem gave us the Torah. he wants to stay close to it, so commanded us to built a mishkan to be able to be close to us having the Torah. The mishkan is from cedar wood standing firm to remember the Torah and not to sway from it. If we don’t keep the Torah, Hashem escapes from our shul as there is no reason to stay close to us.

    Lostspark, this happened in Nevardak where there greatness was how they saw themselves as nothing compared to Slabodka where they looked at their potential through their great neshama. When a bachur arrived tp Nevardak. he saw the others say that they are nothing. so he followed them and was told, who are you to say you are nothing?

    If the President sits in consecutive terms in the Oval Office, he is not counted, however, as long as he sits newly (not in the previous term) even not elected is counted.

    When Spiro Agnew resigned, Nixon appointed Gerard Ford as his Vice President. When Richard Nixon resigned, Ford became President and appointed Nelson Rockefeller as his Vice President. When running again, Ford dropped Rockefeller for Bob Dole and lost the election to Jimmy Carter, so Ford was never elected President or Vice President.

    The Hungarians have a joke, what is the difference between Lot’s wife and solet (pronounced sholet), the answer is nothing they both became salt. The meaning in Hungarian as chulent is pronounced is solet meaning became salt as ‘so’ means salt and ‘let’ means became.

    The Dubner Maggid with the above reply #2054338 explains the mishna in Pirkei Avos שלי שלך, שלך שלך חסיד. If mine is yours isn’t obvious that your is yours? So he says that a person, when in question, is willing to give up his by saying mine is yours because he wants to be sure that the other person’s belongings stay with him. and his is his.

    The mishna in the beginning of Bava Kama enumerates four means of causing harm. They can also be interpreted spiritually. The ox standing erectly, gaiva, the digging of a pit, being in the pits, sinning through the mouth, fire of desire, taiva. These mainly contribute to our sins.

    He is completely narcissistic who has not stood up against white supremacists because he would have lost their votes. Only showed concern towards his rich cronies with his tax cuts by enriching the already rich corporations. He wanted to overturn the election by choosing false electors through storming the Capitol because he did not like the results.

    A person can judge his own behavior with the interpretation of Rav Nasson Adler ztz’l as quoted by the talmid, the Chasam Sofer. כי יתן איש אל רעיהו כסף או כלים לשמור Hashem (being referred to as Ish) gives a person money and kelim, utensils (eyes, ears, mouth) to guard וגונב מבית האיש and he steals it away from Hashem by using it for his own purpose rather than doing mitzvos. אם ימצא הגנב ישלם שנים if he is found guilty by judgement Above, one pays double, one, for not listening and two, for not letting Hashem do good to him. אם לא ימצא הגנב, if he repents through love, so the sin gets completely erased, ונקרב בעל הבית אל האלקים, he brings himself closer to Hashem, more than if he never sinned, provided אם לא שלח ידו במלאכת רעיהו, if he did not violate sins of ben adam lechavero, personal inter- relationships.

    Judgement from Above is mentioned by Rashi 21,13. Two individuals where one killed intentionally and other unintentionally and there are no witnesses for either one. Hashem invites them to one motel. The one who killed intentionally sleeps in a bunkbed below and other above. The one from above falls on the one from below and kills him with witnesses. Now, the one above goes to orei miklat, to exile and the one below got killed.

    Avira, as a rebbe, you must agree that yeshiva boys must be educated of the great sin of motzei shem ra to accuse some one for abuse. Having them realize that it is not a game and the consequences it causes to the accused and the false accuser.

    Wolf, getting a MBA does not make you an apikores. It actually makes us understand a mishna in Bava Metzia. It says הזהב קונה את הכסף, gold acquires silver because silver becomes the currency and gold a commodity. Why? Gresham’s Law says, bad money drives out good money from circulation. The bad money here is silver which becomes currency, being spent and gold will be horded and not spent becoming a commodity.

    I heard that we start shmonei esrai by saying, Hashem open up my mouth to be able to utter your praises. Then, all we do is to ask for our needs. Where is the praise? The fact that we turn to Hashem to ask only from Him to fulfil or wishes is the praise. Wolf, so it is self understood that if you praised your mother is because of she being your mother and her abilities to raise you to be shomrei Torah umitzvos came from Hashem.
