Chizuk, we should always emphasize the positive, The Haflaah in Panim Yafos says uvocharto bachaim, chose life. Remembering the day of death should be the last resort,
We in the Agudah of Staten island with a new Rav Moshe Klein Shlita daven Ashkenaz, so in the green room by Rav Pollak Shlita and the Young Israel.

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.
Blacks are named Ezra.
Adas Yereim (Wiener) in Williamsburg on 27-31 Lee Avenue, switched to sefard.
I say maarovis for myself and daven ashkenaz, even when they daven sefard, saying Kedusha quietly as the above Chasam Sofer and not Reb Moshe ztz’l.
I recently went to a wedding where the Rav’s shlita son married his second cousin (Zeltenreich, the Rav’s mother’s brother) where there were more shtreimels than not.
Last shabbos, we had a Carlbach kabbolas shabbos in the Agudah of Staten Island which was very uplifting.
The only time we davened Sefard in Chasan Sofer when we relocated by Rav Shmuel ztz’l temporarily to a sefard shul (not nusach sefard, minhag hamakom) in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn somewhere on 64th Street.
Always tell the truth or be quite and don’t say anything. If verifying and finding an incorrect halacha paskened or pshat which effects halacha is said, admit it and don’t cover it up as Shiman Hamasini gave up on darshening esin.

GAONMy Rebbi the Matersdorfer Rav, Rav Shmuel ztz’l wore a gartel underneath his beketcher. Only a pasul Sefer Torah has a gartel on the outside.

GAONThe Maharal, Ketzos, Shagas Aryeh, Potzker who left behind that for whomever publishes his seforim he will be a melitz yosher, a defender above, and the Kol Aryeh.

The Biur Halacha 427 when it came to 5743 says, that Meshiach had come already a long time ago.
The same applies to the Republicans where President Reagan would be considered a RINO (Republican in name only) now.
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.
I heard from someone who was named Shaya, it is good that my father did not also name me Getz because then I would have been called shaygetz, which is a diminutive for sheketz.
סיג לחכמה שתיקה, the border of wisdom is silence. Say only what is necessary for understanding.
The Chasam Sofer interprets וסרתם מן הדרך when one turns off the walked on way (mesorah), can lead to ועבדתם אלהים אחרים to worshipping a’z, אשר לא ידעתם. what you don’t realize.
A stitch in time saves nine. The Midrash Shmuel interprets עת לעשות לה’ הפירו תורתך, when procrastinating in doing mitzvos by making time for Hashem (saying I still have time), the end will be that it won’t get done.
The Maharam Shick was forced to have a secular name, so he called himself Shick an acronym for Shem Yisroel Kodash, שם ישראל קודש.
Abaya was an orphan named by an acronym asher becha yerucham yasom, א’שר ב’ך י’רוחם י’תום, where in You a orphan consoles.

Science (olam keminhago naheg) helps to understand the Torah.
From the Torah, vayisyachsu al mishpechasam, where Rashi says that they all brought their yichus letter.
For your information, gonna is not a word but going to. There is a place named Ghana.
There is a shiur on it:
I would say that people who learn the Rambam don’t need the Artscroll and others need halacha. The Raavad and Rabbenu Yonah were very harsh as they used the Rambam for halacha everywhere.
This is the first instance of cloning.
Yaakov Avinu emphasizes Lashon Hakodesh over Aramaic when he translates Yagar Sahadusei to Gal Eid..
I think, an old version is available for download at https://hebrewbooks.org/7190 and reprint might be available.
At the collive web site above search for Yaakov Avinu.
Go to the collive web site and see Nemuoel sings Veato Amarto a Chabad song.
–– from “Kfar Chabad” Magazine:
Throughout his life, the Baal Shem Tov had a yearning to remember Yaakov Avinu’s melody. He once told his close circle of followers: “During my first incarnation, when I was a sheep in Yaakov Avinu’s flock, I used to listen to a beautiful melody, which is very pleasant for the ears and the soul. Yaakov Avinu always sang this melody when pasturing his sheep – when he could pour out his soul to his Creator – until he would hear Hashem’s voice blessing his (Yaakov Avinu’s) sheep.
“I know for a fact that Yaakov Avinu also sent this melody with his sons when they went down to Egypt, to Yosef – as it is written in the Scriptures (Breishis 43:11): ‘And Yisrael their father said to them, “If it has to be, then do this: take from the song (zimras) of the land.”’ ”
The Baal Shem Tov continued: “I merited to hear this melody only once more, which was when I happened to pass by a shepherd pasturing his sheep and singing this melody. When I heard it, I almost turned back into a sheep…”
And when the Baal Shem Tov wanted to go to the Holy Land, he said: “Perhaps I will merit one more time to hear that melody ‘from the song of the land.’ When I do, I shall learn it thoroughly until I know it so well that I will never forget it again. And when this melody will be spread out so far and wide that everybody knows it, Redemption will come to the world…
The Midrash Shmuel interprets עת לעשות לה’ הפירו תורתך when making time for Hashem by procrastinating and saying I still have time to do a mitzva then the end will be that it will be forgotten and not done. Use time judiciously.
For the above reason I made a bas mitzva for my daughter in an outside hall but just for women as it is improper to publicize a girl becoming of age and no change in public behavior of her reflects that. However, a boy puts tefillin on in public.
The Serudei Aish says to make a Bas Mitzva as a necessity so the girls should not feel left out. Rav Moshe’s view is that it is like any other birthday party and thereby forbidden to make it in a shul.
That us why goyim only have 7 mitzvos as they have less bechira as stated above in Tosfas in Kedushin.
Why don’t you look and substance? Don’t be tofas hatafel unaniach kaikar as language devolves. Impacted in place of affected was frowned upon but now it is part of regular speech.
Chanukah gelt, money is a custom but gifts is an appeasement like a Bas Mitzva.
If no free will, no sechar veonash, reward and punishment. It is the second belief of three, belief in Hashem, the above and the Torah given from the Heaven, according the Baal Haikarim as he summarizes the thirteen beliefs of the Rambam.
There is a joke where someone knocks on the heaven’s gate and he is asked, who is this? He answers, it is I. He is being retorted, another English teacher.
In yeshivas, translated from Yiddish, hold is used instead of up to as where do we hold and asks the gemora and answers the gemora but I learned gemora in Yiddish.
