    All of our chachomim had foresight when israel was formed. What the Israeli government is now doing about kashrus was recognized then. Mods, Please allow this:

    I am familiar with the Sopron kehila at 217 Hewes St, What you said is correct Rav Shimon Posen ztz’l the father of Pinchas Shlita at the above kehila left already in my time. My Rav in Sopron was Rav Aaron Meir Krausz who became Rav in Sydney, Australia and then lived in Monsey, NY.

    Unknowingly copied the above from the OU website:
    If potatoes are subject to bishul akum, what about potato chips? Must kosher certified potato chips have bishul Yisroel status?
    This question hinges on the following inquiry. As noted, bishul akum applies only to foods that are “oleh al shulchan melachim” (served at royal feasts, henceforth abbreviated oas”m). Must the food be oas”m in its current form (which would exclude potato chips from bishul akum, since they are not served at royal banquets) or, does it suffice that the food category can be prepared in a manner that is suitable to be oas”m (in which case potato chips are subject to bishul akum, since potatoes can be prepared as a fancy food item)?

    Rabbi Belsky, zt”l subscribed to the former position and held that potato chips are not oas”m and bishul akum does not apply. Rabbi Belsky brought as evidence the statement of the Rama (YD 112:1) that rice bread is not subject to bishul akum, because it would not be served at a royal table and is not oas”m. Plain rice is oas”m, but nonetheless rice bread is not. This proves that we consider the actual manner of preparation and not the suitability of the food category.

    When one puts aside their own needs for the needs of the other it shows that you love your friend more than yourself, therefore you are listened to first.

    I found the OK website about granola which apples also here:

    In terms of the question of Bishul Akum, granola does not require Bishul Yisroel for numerous reasons, including that it is not eaten as a meal, but rather as a snack food, and is not a food that can be classified as being of a royal nature. (It is not the norm to eat it with bread, a person does not invite one’s friend to come over just to eat it, etc.)

    Hungary had a big inflation requiring them to change their currency from Pengo to Forint. My father told me that they took an egg to the movies as money was not accepted for admission. My father had a confection business. The Germans marched into Budapest March 19, 1944. My father lost his wife and two children in Aushwitz. He was in labor camp in Mauthausen which I saw after the war. Horthy stopped deportation on July 8, 1944 and was forced to resign by kidnapping his son, so he abdicated October 15, 1944 having the Arrow Cross, who were worse than the Nazis, take over. My father remarried in 1946 (the sister of his dead wife, my mother). I was born in January 1948. I did not know that the Russians were in charge until the revolution in 1956. There is currently no yiddishkeit in my hometown Sopron which was a big kehila before the war.

    It says by Pharaoh that he was taken away the free choice. I think the meaning is that the help that we have against the yetzer hara was taken away from him. In Parashas Bo they ask the question about free choice where the Dubner Maggid explains that Pharaoh originally did not want but the makus changed his mind, so his freedom of choice was restored.

    GH, Why Tishbu instead of Eliyahu? Maybe this is a proof to the Chasam Sofer, who asks how can we rely on him as the Torah is not in heavens? He answers that if Eliyahu comes in human form, he is like any other individual. So, the emphasis is that he is resident of his home town and not a malach.

    Yabia, there is no gemora to say it but in SA O;CH 124,5 as noted by the Beer Hagolah 6, Tur in the name of his father, the Rosh. This is the reason when it is forbidden to be mafsik, we don’t say it.

    The Rosh was a talmid from the Maharam from Rothenburg who was a talmid of Rav Yitzchak Ohr Zarua of Vienna. He was called Ohr Zarua because of a dream. He saw in a dream that Rebbi Akiva should be spelled with a ‘hey’ at the the end and not an aleph as the last letters of the pasuk אור זרוע וכו’ – ר’ עקיבה indicate. His rebbi was the Sefer Chasidim above, Rebbi Yehudah Hachassid.

    Sarah Imeunu felt, as she did not even have a womb, she was not worthy of a miracle to change nature. It was a fear of the greatness of Hashem, as the gemora in Shabbos argues by the man nursing if he was great or not for changing nature.

    The Chovas Halvovas explains that when a carpenter makes a table they all look the same like a table but Hashem created every individual to be different. The Sefer Chagvei Haselah from Rav Yonah Tzvi Horowitz, explains that the Torah start with a ב to emphasize this bechina, being different and the aseres hadibros with an א, through the mitzvos to unify each other. Tefila, the zechusim of the tzibur, Torah learning, give a take like a business transaction, and even for Tefilin, someone else’s help is necessary, if someone does not make it, we cannot put it on.

    CTRebbe, limudim come with logic. A girl is also a Jew and needs to be trained. Learning Torah is a mitzva on its own for men but for women it is to know how to do their mitzvas, therefore gemora is not really required and they can do their mitzvas because they were commanded.

    The Sefer Hachinuch Mitzva 21 says that the telling to your son also includes the telling to anyone. So, the Torah many times talks about the usual, dibrah hatorah behoveh as the sons are responsible to perpetuate the mesorah. Rabbi Moshe in Ingos Moshe (5,20) says that women can be motzi men sippur yetzias mitzraim as they are also responsible. For the family, women should also be able to ask questions.

    Rabbi Yonasan Eubshitz gives a very interesting interpretation on vaadoni zoken, which refers to Hashem. When an open neis is being done like yetzias mitzraim, Hashem revealed Himself as a gibor, general but at kabolas hatorah as a zaken because no open neis or miracle was done there. Sarah Imenu saw Hashem as a zaken indicating to her that here no miracle will be done and she cannot have a child as she did not have a womb, so vaani zakanti refers to Hashem. Lo tzochakti, I did not laugh for not being possible, but ki Yarea is a yiras horamemus feeling that she is not worthy to this type of miracle.
