Reb EliezerParticipant
The king carries a Sefer Torah constantly witb him to remember to follow it and not judge like all other nations as the pasuk Samuel (1,5,5) indicates.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen wanting a king the pasuk says, kechol hagoyim, as the nations do, but when the Torah commands us to appoint a king, it does not say it. You are allowed to appoint a king but not as the nations do.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe have to weigh the effect of the vaccine towards the effect of COVID. The probability of ill effects of the vaccine is much smaller than the risk of ending up in the hospital and death c’v with COVID without beihg vaccinated.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhiloeopher, 12 in how many?
Reb EliezerParticipantOne is protected when not vaccinated from being reinfected with the delta variant when recovered from delta variant but not from the alpha variant.
Reb EliezerParticipantThw military is deciding to vaccinate all its participants which employs 3 million people.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou will not cut off your nose to spite your face. If you can satisfy your needs through another company, kol hakavod.
Reb EliezerParticipantphilosopher, how many vaccinated ended up in the hospital and how many died from it?
Reb EliezerParticipantMy mother was in Aushwitz and lost family members and father was in Mauthausen and lost family members. I would say if you get personel benefit from the merchandise. you are not supporting them but yourself.
Reb EliezerParticipantHealth, once I agree with you how to protect the children.
Reb EliezerParticipantMany chasiddish clothes, (long beard, long payes, white socks, long garb etc.) was worn to protect against assimilation. They bring a proof to wear long garb from the clothes borrowed by the Jews in mitzraim were put on the children as it was too short for them but it could be that the children being clothed comes first.
August 6, 2021 2:24 pm at 2:24 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1997708Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe לא ניתן תורה למלאכי השרת, the Torah does not require exact like some say that we don’t have to look for worms with a magniying glass. We don’t compare the bullet to the gun by removing it from the deceased. The computer does not determine pasul letters in the sefer torah only point out questiinable.
August 6, 2021 2:23 pm at 2:23 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1997705Reb EliezerParticipantBy tefiin how do you make a true square, so its ee efshar letzamtzem. The Rambam explains in Eruvin that the value of 3 was taken because PI is impossible to be known exactly, so the integral value was used. How do you measure your string or the diagonl of the square?
August 6, 2021 12:34 pm at 12:34 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1997678Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, what is the precise value for PI and the SQRT(2)?
Reb EliezerParticipantShould be above, you are making him equal
August 6, 2021 12:33 pm at 12:33 pm in reply to: The irrational response to Covid is part of the Decree from Above #1997675Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, thanks for the vort from the Satmerer ztz’l whidh sounds like him.
Reb EliezerParticipantShould be above, belongs to Hm
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasan Sofer interprets the pasuk את קרבני לחמי לאשי ריח נכוח תשמרו להקריב לי במועדו why get a reward for doing mitzvos when we use Hashem’s bread (what belong to Him) for our sacrifice but My enjoyment is that you wait and anticipate the the time when you can do it.
August 6, 2021 9:02 am at 9:02 am in reply to: The irrational response to Covid is part of the Decree from Above #1997625Reb EliezerParticipantThe Klei Yakar Shemos (23,5) on azov taazov imo says that from here is an answer to some poor persons who do not want to help themselves and scream that their needs were not fulfilled through charity, we are not responsible to give them.
August 6, 2021 9:01 am at 9:01 am in reply to: The irrational response to Covid is part of the Decree from Above #1997626Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantSyag, you misunderstood. The consequences does not mean that he should get sick as if he gets a card, it will not save him from it but the peoples scorn for not vaccinating.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says ואביו שמר את הדבר Yaakov Avinu waited and anticipated Yosef’s dream. It says ושמרתם ועשיתם אותם when it comes to doing mitzvos, we should wait for and anticipate to do them.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen I took chemistry, I asked my teacher, why do I have to know this? He told me to see the greatess of Hashem’s creation, a miniature solar system in every atom. We understand the first Daroshos Haran how a tzibur gets formed. Every individual has deficiencies which another individual fulfills thereby creating a unity which cannot be broken. Water is made up of oxygen and hydrogen which shares the electeons which oxygen is missing. I heard pshat in the meaning of בורא נפשות רבות וחסרונן indicatung this that Hashem created humans with deficiencies which Hashem and other humans fulfill.
August 5, 2021 6:28 pm at 6:28 pm in reply to: 42nd Yahr Zeit of Satmar Rav Ztz’l כואב the 26th of Av #1997489Reb EliezerParticipantHe said ‘אולי יש חמישים צדיקים ‘בתוך העיר, I want them to stay in the city and scream gevalt and not escape.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, what you suggesting is genevas daas. If he believes in not vaccinating, let him suffer the consequences.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen Trump in 2021 wanted to destroy our democracy, we were reminded of 1984.
Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t think the pillow is given to build the eved up but not to lower him by making the eved think that he gets the worse one because he is the eved. By providing him here, you qre makung him equal. Chayecha kodem hurts over here the other.
August 5, 2021 11:54 am at 11:54 am in reply to: 42nd Yahr Zeit of Satmar Rav Ztz’l כואב the 26th of Av #1997393Reb EliezerParticipantThe moderation procrastinated as the Yahr Zeit was yesterday., Wednesday August 4.
Reb EliezerParticipantChasiddim stay home to take care of many children as caretakers cost much money.
August 5, 2021 9:47 am at 9:47 am in reply to: The irrational response to Covid is part of the Decree from Above #1997357Reb EliezerParticipanttorahval, get vaccinated to avoid getting sick and ‘dying’.
August 4, 2021 10:30 pm at 10:30 pm in reply to: The irrational response to Covid is part of the Decree from Above #1997286Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, I agree, someone who is vaccunated should not have to wear a mask when the other person has the optiion to vaccinate.
August 4, 2021 9:44 pm at 9:44 pm in reply to: The irrational response to Covid is part of the Decree from Above #1997275Reb EliezerParticipantWhat is the purpose of this thread? I think we should do what we can and then daven that iit should bear fruits by protectihg us. It says by Bas Paraoh, vatishlach es amosah, where Rashi says her hand grew. How did she know that her hand will grow? It teaches us to do what we can, our hishtadlus, and than we will be helped and not sit idly by and wait until we will be helped.
August 4, 2021 7:48 pm at 7:48 pm in reply to: The irrational response to Covid is part of the Decree from Above #1997244Reb EliezerParticipantThe Torah says venishmartem meod lenafshosechem, you should be very careful to protect your flesh, body. It is in plural implying that be careful not to hurt others besides yourself. Appreciate the life given to you and don’t risk it. The CDC uses the available science at the time to protedt us, so we must follow them.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Levush certainly applies by unmarried girls who don’t have to cover their hair.
Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the Levush, once the women decided to go to work, men got used to it and now a man can expect her to go to work as it does not effect the men or the women anymore.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, the Aruch Hashulchan accepts it based on the Levush but not the MB and don’t bring proofs from what it should be but what it is. Could be, should be, the fact is that currently women go to work and men became used to it and does not effect them any more. Look at the above teshuva which discusses the Aruch Hashulchan’s question which is very interesting.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe source of this is the above Levush that man don’t get affected any more as women are involved in masoh umaton, business, they became accustomed to it. See the above teshuva in great detail.
August 4, 2021 3:58 pm at 3:58 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1997179Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, When it comes to PI, see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/chidushim-on-daf-yomi-eruvin, reply #1895845, I am also a mathematician but not a PhD. FYI The Rash in Kilaim 5,5 quotes the Pythagorean Theorem under Chachmei Hamidos. There is a book available in Amazon called
Rabbinical Mathematics and Astronomy by W. M. Feldman and GRA’s sefer Ayil Meshulash is available at hebrewbooks,org.Reb EliezerParticipantThe CDC is ruling that people who had COVID should still get vaccinared as the antibodies are not that effective against the delta variant.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Aruch Hashulchan paskens O’CH 75 that men can daven infront of women’s uncovered hair.
שו”ת יביע אומר חלק ו – אורח חיים סימן יג
ואמרתי להביא קצת סמך נוסף להנ”ל, ממ”ש הלבוש בסוף או”ח (מנהגים אות לו), שאע”פ שכ’ בספר חסידים שבכל מקום שאנשים ונשים רואים זא”ז בסעודת נישואין, אין לברך שהשמחה במעונו, לפי שאין שמחה לפני הקדוש ברוך הוא כשיש הרהורי עבירה, מ”מ אין נזהרין עכשיו בזה, וה”ט משום שעכשיו מורגלות הנשים הרבה בין האנשים, ואין כאן הרהורי עבירה כ”כ, דדמיין באפן כקאקי חיורי מרוב הרגלן בינינו וכיון דדשו דשו. עכ”ל. ומכבר הבאתי סיוע לזה ממ”ש בס’ לקט יושר (חיו”ד עמוד לז) בשם הגאון מהרא”י בעל תה”ד, וז”ל: עוד אמר שמותר לילך אחר אשת חבר או אחר אמו, משום דבזמן הזה אין מוזהרים כ”כ מלילך אחר אשה. ע”כ. ונראה טעמו כמ”ש הלבוש שבזה”ז מרוב הרגלן בינינו דמיין באפן כקאקי חיוריReb EliezerParticipantThe vaccinated don’t get as sick to end up in the hospital and die as admitted by Senator Graham. The delta variant is very dangerous to the unvaccinated, so it is recommended to vaccinate which is the governments job to publicize the latest science.
Reb EliezerParticipantTo scream fire in a crowded theater is not free speech as to infect others by being unvaccinated.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy boss was a Rebetzin Lieff, Rav Schneiderman’s daughter.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, circumstances change halacha. Everyone agrees that it would be better for her not to work. Schar Halimud and general livelihood for a big family have skyrocketed. It also says עשה שבתך חול ואל תצטרך לבריות, make your shabbos like a weekday and don’t rely on people. As mentioned above, if something unexpected happens, a family will have no natural lifeline. Also, אין סומכין על הנס, don’t rely on miracles.
Reb EliezerParticipantGedolim are chachamim who recognize reality and don’t ask people something they will not follow.
Reb EliezerParticipantSenator Elizbeth Warren wrote a book The Two Income Trap. It is an insurance for one spouse being laid off, getting sick or providing for unexpected expenses.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy wife a’h wanted gold jewelry, silver utensils and crystal glasses, so she worked for it.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says in Parashas Reaih וסרתם מן הדרך you turn off the road ועבדתם אלהים אחרים and you worship sttange gods, asks the Chasam Sofee, how does the turn off the road lead to idol worshipping? He says אשר לא ידעתם you don’t realize that one thing leads to another and that is the start by turning off the accustomed walk on traditional way (mesorah, minhagim) can lead to sway away from Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantcommon saychel, no thanks, then I decline the position as you have abukspan the Maggid, and כל הישר בעיניו יעשה, let people do as they desire. This is the way the Chief Rabbi of New York, Rav Yaakov Yosef ztz’l was destroyed and was killed 15 years after coming to America. I can write daroshas without being CR of CR.
August 2, 2021 1:53 pm at 1:53 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1996441Reb EliezerParticipantThere is no mitzva of hashovas aveida by a goy, so if he makes a mistake, its not our responsibility to tell except for kiddush Hashem.
