Reb EliezerParticipant
HaLeiVi, you like better the Ben Ish Chai explains? By me they have the same meaning. I did not put a subject in the front, obviously I mean the subject is the Ben Ish Chai. If someone else explains, I would have said, the Ben Ish Chai is explained. Why don’t you criticize the exchange of who and whom, the subject and the object?

HaRav Yitzchak Yosef To Boycott Committee For Appointing Dayanim
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, in Kesuvas, Rav Acha danced with a kallah on his shoulders seeing her as a beam.
November 8, 2021 10:53 am at 10:53 am in reply to: Trump is a Distraction, Much to the Detriment of the Republican Party #2025961Reb EliezerParticipantStealth, I am too tired with your Demoncrats, and not with the obstructionist Rebublicans being in the bubble of Drumf.
Reb EliezerParticipantTosfas in Kedushin, (39,2) starting words, machshava, explains that by a Jew a good intention is like action but not a bad intention and opposite is true by a goy. Explains the Maharal with the Meharsha that a Jew is basically good and will follow up in action on his intention to do good but not bad and the opposite by a goy.
Reb EliezerParticipantTo whom do you return the kesuba to? There are both muchzakim here. The heirs the money and the wife the kesuba. Could be that since the kesuba is out of her hand here, she is not muchzak on it any more, so we say they paid it and she cannot collect the kesuba.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think so in order to be paid as no shover is written.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think the yesomim claim that the kesuba was returned to them after she was paid and they lost it and she claims that she lost it before it was paid.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe six divisions of misnayos have the acronym zeman noket זמן נקט, grab on to time – and do not waste it.
Reb EliezerParticipantA tzadik ben tzadik has two zechusim whereas a tzadik ben rasha only one and half. We find what you say from the Alter of Kelm by Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov when they are mentioned in reverse order vezocharti es brisi Yaakov etc., indicating according to the Ksav Sofer, that each one was great not because of his father but by his own accomplishment.
Reb EliezerParticipantבית משיח = 412 + 358 = 770
Reb EliezerParticipantAni reflects the hardest meseches, Eruvin, Nidah and Yevomus. Maybe, they are all related to unity where the center is the closest. We find, it says beficha, ubilvovecha laasoso. Says the Rabbenu Bachaya that the sides turn to the center so that the mouth, expression is from the heart and the action is fron the heart. Husband and wife have the closest relationship. Marrying a brother’s wife is somewhat further and bringing people together through an eiruv is even further. They should all turn to center. To understand the hardest meseches we need unity which correct sinas chinam, futile hatred and bring Meshiach in our time, Amen.
November 4, 2021 4:00 pm at 4:00 pm in reply to: Day of Prayer Today Erev Rosh Chodash Kislev, Thursday #2024991Reb EliezerParticipantIt is the expression by Yosef when Yaakov Avinu bows down to him in Parashas Vaychi, taaleh beidna ‘sagid’ leih, a fox when he is ruler is bowed down to, so was Yosef. This an Ethiopian Jewish holiday celebrating when Hashem first revealed Himself to Moshe Rabbenu at the burning bush choosing him as a leader.
November 4, 2021 11:46 am at 11:46 am in reply to: Day of Prayer Today Erev Rosh Chodash Kislev, Thursday #2024895Reb EliezerParticipantRecommendation to say Tehilim 119 about the love of mitzvas (8 pasukim for each letter of the aleph beis, tamyeh apei).
November 4, 2021 11:44 am at 11:44 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Toldos – Our Birthright #2024893Reb EliezerParticipantThe Targum Yonasan says that Eisov denied the after-life. However, the question is why did Yaakov Avinu say after Eisov asked for lentils to sell his birthright? The Maasei Hashem says an interesting pshat. Yaakov Avinu knew what was told to his mother, Rivkah that rav yaavod tzair, the elder will serve the younger. So, Yaakov Avinu said, if you want me to serve you, I must be the elder, so you must sell me your birthright.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen it comes to Ribis, it says lo yechetzu yemehem. Explains the Ben Ish Chai that Yitzchak Avinu said that half of time people are sleeping so they should not be punished as they are not sinning. However, one who takes ribis, even when he is sleeping his money makes money, so the days cannot be divided in half, but vaani evtach boch, I trust you, so I don’t take ribbis and my days will be divided.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen it comes to Meshiach what happens to the gemora of tipach atzmosov, his bones be blown up for those who count the days towards his coming. There is mashel where one takes his son and a friend to Leibzig, the market (the most populous place in Germany). His son asks right away when will we get there? The father gets very upset, yelling, why are you asking me when we just started to travel. After a while the friend asks the same question, so he answers him in another hour. Says the son, why did you scream at me when I asked? The answer is obvious, it was not time to ask but now in the akavte demeshicha, the time when Meshiach can come, is the time to count and ask.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe check reminds of the joke of the orthodox rabbi who was given money to place it in someone’s grave after his death, after he spent it he wrote a check.
Reb EliezerParticipant‘not vaday, still we’re concerned for choshid amamona choshid ashvua’. Froggie, I don’t know what you are saying. Only if we know for sure he did an aveira even a derabonon are we choshud as the words of the SA.
שולחן ערוך חושן משפט הלכות טוען ונטען סימן צב סעיף ג
וכל מי שחשוד ליקח ממון חבירו, {ט} חשוד על השבועה, (ח’) ודוקא שיש עדים שלקח ממון חבירו, {י} ו’] ג’) אבל
בלא עדים אינו חשוד, (ג) ד} דשמא ({יא} ו
[ב] ספק) ד’) ד) מלוה ישנה יש לו עליו שבשביל כך (ח*’) תפס אותוReb EliezerParticipantThe Maharam Shick paskens not to place a secular year on a matzeva as it indicates the lack of life after death but try putting a Hebrew date on a check. In the Wiener cemetery, the matzeva writing is checked ahead of time and no English is allowed. We should use lemisporom on an invitation.
Reb EliezerParticipantLittle Froggie, I think that the SA answers all questions. Abbaye’s view is accepted when possible but a safek does not undo a vaday, so normally we are not chashud but if we know for a fact with eidim that he steals even rabbinically as playing cards, we are chashud and no shevua is placed on him.
Reb EliezerParticipantHe won on a lie. They don’t teach critical race theory in Virginia public schools.
Reb EliezerParticipantIn SA CH’M 92,3 says that if we have witnesses that he stole, then we don’t let him swear as milva yeshena does not apply.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says that Meshiach is born on Tisha Beov.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, he does not believe in it when he uses it as the most of the world does. When we use a kapital, chapter for chumash, do we believe in the goyim’s believe who compiled it?
Reb EliezerParticipantDo you mitzvos because Hashem says so or the Rebbi says so?
Reb EliezerParticipantChabad – Cherev al Habadim, sword when separation
Reb EliezerParticipantK-cup, is Chabad more important than Hashem when it comes to capitalizing?
Reb EliezerParticipantK-cup, maybe you misunderstood. Every Jew has a Chelek Eloach Mimaal. Kol yisrael yesh lohem chelek.
Reb EliezerParticipantI just got an invitation from my Rebbi’s son, Rav Dovid Aryeh Ehrenfeld current Matisdorfer Rav Shlita, who is marrying of his son, designating his wife, mother of the chasan and the rest of the family. as above ubnei beiso.
Reb EliezerParticipantDid the Rebbe ever say that he is Meshiach? Hilel says that their will be no limos hamoshiach. Explains the Rav Abarbanel that techiyas hamesim will occur with the coming of Meshiach and no forty years will be in between them. That a dead person should become meshiach only works with this minority view.
Reb EliezerParticipantfarbycoffe, don’t you read posts? Didn’t I say that leosid lavo we will understand Beis Shamai’s view and the majority will follow them, so we will therefore pasken like them?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Shlah Hakadash says that reward and punishment, the second of the three beliefs which is a summarization from the Baal Haikarim of the Rambam’s thirteen, is a measuring stick of the nachas ruach we provide to Hashem through our performance of the 613 mitzvos. We should do mitzvos for this purpose and reward and punishment will come automatically.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Ksav Sofer on Parashas Yisro gives a mashel from his father the Chasam Sofer. A father had a goldmine and had multiple children. He wanted that the youngest child should inherit it, so he taught him the act of goldmining and divided the goldmine equally. Since the others did not know what to do with it, it automatically fell to the youngest child. The Torah Shebeksav is the goldmine and the Torah Shebaal Peh the act of goldmining. We received the Torah Shebaal Peh so we were able to understand the Torah Shebelsav. The Rabbenu Bachaya has another mashel where a king commands in writing his child to follow certain behavior and the reward given if followed by him. Being afraid that it will fall into the wrong hands who will demand the reward for their behavior, he passes part of his commandment orally.
Reb EliezerParticipantMoshe Rabbenu and the others could not transfer the Torah and determine our psak halacha wiith heavenly understanding. According to the above Ran it requires sechel enoshi, a human mind.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe have the neshama and the guf. The neshama has a tendency to strive towards above and the guf for below. Which overpowers which? The question is how can we both get a reward and punishment? If one has tendency to turn to the right, above why a reward? On the other hand, if the tendency is vice versa, why a punishment? They say that the tendency is to do the right thing and in order to reward us Hashem created the yetzer hara and that is for our benefit to get rewarded once we don’t follow him. Shechara ani venava. Now we have a tendency to do bad but we get punished because we also have the yetzer tov and the neshama.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Darashas Haran, Darush 7, explains that Rebbi Eliezer’s view was not accepted even it is emes according to the heavenly understanding, as once the Torah was given down to earth at kabolas hatorah, we must understand it through human understanding. Maybe, for the same reason currently we don’t pasken like the Beis Shamai but leosid lavo we will gain a higher understanding and the majority will follow the Beis Shamai so we will pasken like them.
Reb EliezerParticipantTorah Sebaal Peh was not allowed to be written down originally so the minimum was passed over to each recipient which sufficed then for their great understanding but as the Jews were in diaspora their minds became weaker and questions arose which they started to argue about. The Rabbenu Bachaya explains at the end of Parashas Ki Sisa that Rebbi, Rebbi Yehuda Hanasi only wrote down the minimum necessary for understanding. As the generations went on, more and more explanations and commentaries became necessary.
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, the Chasan Sofer explains the pasuk by Yosef as Potifar’s wife spoke to him daily he did not listen to her. This is how the yetzer hara operates. He nudges a person constantly to sin as he has no good merchandise to sell. However, the yetzer tov does not talk so much as the merchandise talks. A lesson in marketing where good merchandise only needs description but not much convincing.
Reb EliezerParticipantYabia, see SA O’CH (128,44) the RMA there.
Reb EliezerParticipantAll the chachomim on the above referenced list.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat is the purpose of the semicha? According the RMA his rebbi gives him permission to pasken, so we have more chiefs than Indians.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf someone says that they know everything, they really know nothing. Only Hashem knows everything.
Reb EliezerParticipantAs a sign of respect, Hashem should be capitalized in English.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Sefer Hachinuch 62 has an interesting discussion on kishuf, witchery. The nature is under the control of the Torah learners. To change nature through witchery is not the will of Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantShabbos should be keilu kol melachto asuya, where one should not worry about his daily work and consider it done. The RMA paskens that we don’t duchen on shabbos as people do worry and therefore, not being happy.
Reb EliezerParticipantI agree. They have to learn the halachas on the gemora they are learning. When I learned in the mesivta, we had a Rosh and Ran on the Rif shiur.
Reb EliezerParticipantNot I am not. I am upset at what is going on there. Look at list of the rabonon it includes litvish also.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a story where a student asked his rebbi for a recommendation letter and the rebbi signed it at the edge of the paper. Asked the student why? He said because it says midevar sheker tirchak.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe can learn from the goyim with what hislahavus to do mitzvos.
