    This is less than machshichin al hatchum, to wait my the techum for shabbos finishing which is allowed for a mitzva, so I don’t see what is wrong. Chal Hamoed you can use your computer as the display is not permanent.

    The Yaaros Devash asks on the megilla, because their dasom, rules, are different destroy them personally? So he says that Haman asked on the dasam to get destroyed which the king agreed on but he changed the text referring to the Jews.

    In the Midbar they were free to learn as shmita time which is compared to midbar sinai. The Kohanim, who were also supported, were free to learn when it was not their time to do the avoda. The women were busy raising children so they only learned what was necessary for them to do their mitzvas.

    The Midrash says that Adam Harishon sacrificed a unicorn. The Ksav Sofer explains that one horn reflects the unique devotion to Hashem as the horn points to the heaven. The Midrash says to write on ‘keren hashor’ rather than karnei hashor indicating that what should reflect the unique existence of G-d they should deny. I heard from Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss that they would use the horn of an ox to feed a baby milk. So they wanted them to deny Hashem from birth.

    It could be of jealousy as the Kli Yakar says in Parashas Devorim on penu lochem tzafana, to be hidden in galus and to incite them.

    The holy Shlah explains the pasuk in Mishli אל תוכיח לץ פן ישנאך. when admonishing someone don’t call him a fool as he will hate you, הוכיח חכם ויאהבך, call him a chacham, the wise one and he will love you. Also the Rav Abarbanel says, לא תשא עליו חטא, don’t put the sin on him by labeling him. Maybe rather say that people do instead of you do.

    The same reason we need to daven in a fixed place, makom kevua. To daven is like an arrow which when shot always from the same place, will penetrate. So the expectation of a gate for a particular shevat is a fixed prayer. When we daven betzibur, in a group together, it should not matter. The custom of a person might override the nusach of the tzibur according to the Chasam Sofer above.

    Achdus, unity is not always recommended. The convention of 1866 in Michalovce (Nagymihaly, place in Hungary that time) caused the excommunication of the reform movement from the orthodox when they denied following the Shulchan Aruch. The Maharam Shik interpreted emes vehashalom ahovu, first emes then shalom. Truth must come before peace. They applied hibodlu mitoch haeida hara, separate yourself from the bad group. Ein shalom omar Hashem lerashaim, no peace says Hashem to the wicked. When it comes to the orthodox, there are many ways of serving Hashem, so it should not matter how.

    I moved there 1977. My wife’s a’h cousin decided to move here from Boro Park, buy a house. She wanted us to buy the companion house of two semi-detached houses. Currently they moved a long time ago to the Woodmere, Long Island. My daughter lives in Oceanside and my son in Marine Park, so I am on my own.

    The Chasam Sofer says in O’CH 15 that both have the same kavonos which was revealed by the Arizal for nusach sefard as he was a sefardi which is argued by the Minchas Elozor, so if someone wants to be mechaven should daven nusach sefard as Rav Nossan Adler did but all others davened Ashkenaz. The Divrei Chaim says that nusach sefard is an inclusive davenen for all shevotim who don’t know their origin. He says that one can convert from ashkenaz to sefard but not vice versa. The Magen Avraham says in O’CH 68 that each shevat has his own gate where its tefila goes through. The Pri Megodim argues and forbids changing in either direction.
