The Rambam in the beginning of Hilchas Yesodei Hatorah (1,2-3) says, if we think that
He (G-d) is not found, nothing else will be found. If we think nothing else can be found, still only He will be found, and He will not be eliminated from any of their elimination as all creations require Him for their existence and He does not need one of them for His existence therefore, His truthfulness is not like any of their truthfulness.If you are familiar wth string theory, everything is made up of strings of energy, and because Hashem is the source of all energy, everything has the koach of Him.
Trump, who thinks he knows everything better than anyone else, saying that under his presidency this would have not happened, how can he not be a comedian in chief?
I like peiple who have a pleasant demeanor. knowledgeable, who are not selfish and willing to listen to the opinion of others.
Rabbenu Bachaya in Kad Hakemach under Lulav explains that the shedra, spine of the lulav resembles Hashem, kaveyachel, and all leaves lie on it. If we remove the spine, all leaves fall. Emanate, Hashem is the source and everything is derived from Him.
Ki Savo, the holy Alshich interprets the statement above as Lavan fooled Yaakov Avinu by destroying his intentions. He gave him Leah instand of Rachel and thereby caused the jealousy of the shefotim. This would not have happened if he had given Rachel first. Yosef would have been the bechor, the firstborn and thereby the Bnei Yisrael would not have ended up in Mitzraim.
It says veosu li mikdash veshochanti besocham, create a holy tabernacle and I will rest among them. It does not say besocho, in it as Hashem is everywhere so He rests in each one of us.
See Iyov (31,2)
Avira, the holocaust is similar to mitzraim, so look at the Klei Yakar at the end of Parashas Vayigash and Parashas Devorim on Penu lochem tzofano. The Mitzriim didn’t directly kill jews because of the hakoras hatov to Yosef. The germans also made them work if they were able to.
כל ישראל יש להם חלק לעולם הבא some translate that every Jew has a chelek elokah mimaal that brings one to olam habo. Through it he can gain olam habo.
There is an implication that Hashem created the human being, Bereishis, bealef tishri, Rosh Hashana. es hashomayim, his soul, ves haaretz and the body.
It means a taam of olam habo. A chasid put on his shabbos clothes on a weekday and was surprised that he felt the taam of shabbos.
It says by Yitzchak vayorech es reach begodov, he felt the taam of gan eden as it belonged to Adam Harishon. So it is no surprise to feel the taam of shabbos on a weekday that his clothing absorbed as shabbos is meein olam habo.It says ‘קדשים תהיו כי קדוש אני ה, be holy because I, Hashem is holy. How do we come close to Hashem? Through the holy nashama that is chelek elokai mimaal.
According to the levels of neshama above, a beineni, middle person, is not the same by everyone but relative to one’s level of neshama.
This Sefer Habris explains that there are five levels of neshama whidh increases into twenty five levels as sefira’s seven levels.. As the neshamas become greater their potential to elevate in kedusha inreases. A Jew gains a higher level of neshama when he has fought the yetzer hara, overcome and exhausted its potential.
It says ויפח באפיו נשמת חיים and He (G-d) blew in his nose a living soul, מאן דנפח מדיליה נפח, whoever blows, blows from oneself. So, the soul had to come from Hashem.
ויפח באפיו נשמת חיים – מאן דנפח מדיליה נפח it says G-d blew in him a living soul and one who blows, blows from himself. So the soul had to come from Hashem.
Neshama comes from under kisei hakovad with G-dly features and arrives to earth to gain its keep and not get a bread of shame which it did not work for. Part of it is left above and through our prayer we are connecting ourselves to the root. See the Sefer Habris, 2nd Part.
Avi K, didn’t they eliminate the yetzer hara of a’z?
Sometimes I use expressions that hurt people, so I ask mechila from everyone, beit mechila fun yeder einer.
Daven for a Refuah Sheleimo for him:
See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/featured/2002034/tehillim-hamekubal-hatzaddik-harav-shimon-galai-contracts-covid-for-2nd-time.htmlI mentioned the Targum Yonasan by Yitzchak who says that love starts from the man, maybe, as the woman is passive being mushpa and not mashpia. We speak about Hashem in masculine being the mashpia.
I will explain mobico’s sense of humor. In the selichos ‘ישראל נושע בה is mentioned the above passage which refers to the sair, goat, Eisov and chosno, his father-in-law, Yishmoel should be destroyed. Sair also means hair being destroyed.
It says veyehav Yitzchak es Eisov ki tzayid befiv. like loving a pece of stake that you don’t protect because you really love yourself, Verivka oheves es Yaahov, true love, not dependent on anything, because of his behavior and deeds.
יהי רצון שלא יהי’ קרח מכאן וקרח מכאן
In the Sefwr Peninim Yekorim questions the wording of the mentioned Yalkut Shumoni, lo dibrah Torah ellah etc should have said, dibrah Torah kaneged yetzer hara? There are two reasons for a wife protection against zenus. against the yetzer hara and having children but here by yefas toar, the child will be a ben sorer umoreh, so the only thing remaining is against the yetaer hara. So we always need to protect ourselves from the yetzer hara.
Should be above, As an enemy.
Love is not automatic. There is a cause for love. By recognizing His greatness and benevolance leads to love Hashem. Loving our friend is because of our connection to each other as we are all children of Hashem, avechad lekuloni, we all have one Father. Loving a ger is because of our suffering in Mitzraim as a ger thereby recognizing his suffering. Loving a wife is because of her behavior and deeds. If it is just physical, it is temporary and will not last.
As a enemy, the yetzer hara behaves like one. He takes the appetite away to do mitzvos by telling us how hard and tiring it is to do. vaymoreru es chayehem beavoda kasha, says the Chasan Sofer, he makes our life bitter by telling us how hard it is to do the avoda. Arami oveid avi, the yetzer hara takes away the bechina that Hashem commands us to do mitzvos for our benefit as a father who wants the good for his child. The Dubner Magid has mashel to one who comes to visit. The host sends out his servant to get his luggage. The servant comes in exhausted all sweated up. The guest tells him, this is not my luggage as my luggage is light and you would not be sweating from it. If we are exhausted from keeping the Torah, we are doing something wrong. The cheshek, desire to keep the Torah by recognizing that it is for our benefit, should make it easy to keep.
The Baal Hatanya says kamacha, your friend also has a chelek elokai mimaal and is just like you.
coffee addict, the Ramban explains that you cannot love your friend like yourself so it says lereacha but not reacha so the meaning is whatever you want your friend (lereacha) to do you, do to them but a wife אשתו כגופו and אדם קרוב אצל עצמו a wife is like himself and one loves himself best.
ה’ ישלח להם רפואה שלימה בקרוב
Trump downplaying its effect.
Maybe, meohvai techakmenu mitzvosecha. means to make us smarter from my enemies, the yetzer hara, how do your mitzvos, to learn from them as above how to fight them. ki leolom hi li, a mitzva stays with us forever, the enjoyment stays with us and we don’t regret it. However, an aveira is not forever. It is only enjoyed when done and regretted afterwards.
The Chasam Sofer explains that veshaviso shivya, to capture something from him, the yetzer hara. The yetzer hara fights us incrementaly, in small steps as the Chasam Sofer also explains vesartem min haderech, we sway from our walked on ways, minhagim which eventualy lead to the worshipping a’z. Asher lo yedatem, we don’t relize that it leads to it. We should fight him with his own techniques.
See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/kedoshim-how-to-accomplish-itIt is a reciprocal relationshps as I mentioned the Targum Yonasan in Breishis (25,67) says that Yitzchqk Avinu married Rivkah and got to love her because of her outstanding and beatiful deeds. Kepanim el panim, feeling his love, she gets to love him. Love is a feeling, so we can’t have e mitzva. You cannot force something that comes from the heart. We muet do this that cause it and contribute to it.
Our version, a naar darf man a halb gebaute haus nisht weisen, to a fool we are not allowed to show a half built house. Yours, to a fool we are forbidden to show half of the work.
The answer to the question is yes. If peoole have a loving home, they are satisfied with less.
CS, I will connect the topic at hand. The gemora says in Yevomus (62,2) that on the one who loves his wife more than himself (she will recipricate) the pasuk says veyodato ki shalom aholecha, you will know that there is peace at home. When you go out to work to your business, you don’t worry about your wife because their is love between you.
The Targum Yonasan says on the above story of Yitzchak marrying Rivka that because of her proper deeds he came to love her.
If beauty or other outside qualities like beauty or money bring the love then it is an ahava teluya bedovor, it is a dependent on a outside inffuence, and if that disappears love also disappears.
The Ramban says that it impossihle to love your friends like yourself and that is why it says lereacha rather than reacha. Says the Sefer Habris, that whatever you don’t want your friend to do you, applies to him (lereacha), don’t do to him. Maybe, by the wife their behavior brings to a mutual unconditional love.
The gemora Yoma (86,1) has a problem with loving Hashem as the question of the Baal Haikarim, how can there be commandment to love each other which is a feeling, so the gemora says שתהי שם שמים מתאהב על ידך make Hashem beloved on others through yourself by behaving properly as the examples indicated. .
We find in Breishis 24,67 where first Yitzchak Avinu takes Rivka as his wife and then he comes to love her. Her behavior brought him to love her. The act of care and wanting to make each other happy brings to love.
right, abtibodies might not work for delta variant, whereas the vaccine does.
