י’ר שיתקיים חכמתו ולא ישתכח את תורתוReb EliezerParticipantSo let us define what we talking about.
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard from a Young Israel rabbi, if you must dance together, dance with your wife.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is an argument between the Rambam and Raavad what olam habo means. The Rambam Hilchas Teshuva (5,2) considers olam habo after life when no bodies exists but only souls however, the Raavad says that it is techiyas hamesim, resurrection when the souls will return to bodies.
Reb EliezerParticipantArguing for the sake arguung and not caring about an answer to arrive to the truth and clearer understanding.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Abarbanel on lo sisa alav chet says, don’t call them names and label them only critisize their actions or behavior which can be changed and as mentioned above emohasize the positive.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Kli Yakar explains that Kayin continues building because the rich are never satisfied and happy with what they have. They always want double of what they have. A rich person is poorer than the poor through his desires. A billionaire wants another billion.
Reb EliezerParticipantI am in the low seventies. Experience is knowledge.

Reb EliezerParticipantKabala says duchra (mashpia) provider and nukva (mushpa) being provided to.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, Yaakov Avinu had the excuse גר שנתגייר כקטן שנולד דמי they converted, so the relationship broke, but they did not get burried together as it did not look good. For others it is a proof that the relationship disbands after death.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a site called realcleardaf dot com emphasizing better understanding.
Reb EliezerParticipantMany people who are learning daf yomi never learned gemora before. Learn the halachas pointed to by the Ein Mishpat – Neir Mitzva. The problem I see that they are spoon fed their whole life with Artscroll and not given a means to learn on their own. They should learn the idioms of the gemora and thereby helping them how to set words. There are two computer programs at jewishsoftware dot com, Gemora Tutor for idioms and Talmud Master for gemora’s logic recognizable through key words.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf a husband marries a sister of the first wife after her death, what happens when they both become alive?
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard once on the צדקים יושבים the pious sit ועטרותיהם בראשיהם and their crowns is on their head ונהנים מזיו השכינה and they enjoy the beauty of the shechina. Why mentions the crowns in the middle rather than the end? One cannot directly look into shechina, so the precious stones in the crown act like a prism by reflecting the light.
Reb EliezerParticipantSpare the rod, spoil the child as they translated it. The serpent was cursed with eating dust, even though it is available everywhere, as explained by the Chidushei Harim, Hashem said to him, here is your food and don’t bother Me.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a better way of learning called oraysa where you learn an amed a day, revieing yesterday’s amed, learning 2 1/2 daf a week and on friday, shabbos review it.
Reb EliezerParticipantFor daf handouts go to dafyomi dot co dot il. For more advanced daf yomi go to shasilluminated dot org.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer said that the Torah is like an egg. You can eat it raw, half boiled, hard boiled, sunny side up, or scrambled.
October 2, 2021 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011533Reb EliezerParticipantWhen Kayin killed Hevel he said, gadol avoni minso, my sin is too great to take. We find this expression also in SA when one speaks in middle of davenen. Rashi explains in Shir Hashirim 4. beginning teimei fzeviiya, that we can read the luchas across. Anochi goes with lo sritzach. One who kills because he does not see the G-dly image, similarly one who speaks by davenen does not value the others
G-dly image.Reb EliezerParticipantIsn’t the person responsible who placed the sefer Torah incorrectly in the holy aron? The gemora says to say aron hakadosh Shabbos (32,1).
Reb EliezerParticipantRac Moshe ztz’l in Igros Moshe explains how to raise children. First, half persperation, by putting the personal effort into it, and then half inspiration, to pray to Hashem that it should bear fruits.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, maybe sair is not because of a goat.
October 1, 2021 12:54 pm at 12:54 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011330Reb EliezerParticipantThe Mayanai Shel Torah mentions a Chidushei Harim that I believe the whole idea of tefila is based on. The serpent is cursed, dust you will eat, but dust is available everywhere? He answers, that Hashem said to him, here is your food and don’t bother me, I don’t want to hear from you again. We thank Hashem that He has not forsaken us and wants our prayers. We praise Hashem for the fact that we can praise him. Hilel thanked Hashem day by day.
October 1, 2021 12:25 pm at 12:25 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011326Reb EliezerParticipantThe serpent questions the emunah by insinuating that they will not die even though Hashem said they will. Rav Moshe ztz’l explains that when Moshe Rabbenu said that he cannot come and go, he did no mean that he may not but he cannot. The words of Hashem curtail him from doing it. Similarly he said that the Jews cannot climb the mountain because You, Hashem admonished us not to do it. Also, Hashem advises us to chose life and we should realize the consequences of not doing it. So the serpent questions the words of Hashem by saying they will not die and thereby creating a doubt in their beliefs.
October 1, 2021 11:44 am at 11:44 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011315Reb EliezerParticipantabukspan, as I reread your writing, I noticed that you alluded to the above Kol Simcha pshat but I lost the forest from the trees.
October 1, 2021 10:54 am at 10:54 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011292Reb EliezerParticipantabukspan, the Matanai Shel Torah summariaes the above from sefer Kol Simcha (I think Rav Simcha from Parshischa) where he asks, why wasn’t Chava satisfied with her eating without having him eat? He answers, once one sins, it encourages to sin more, even though she had no real enjoyment from it. Aveira gareres aveira, one aveira pulls one to perforn another aveira.
October 1, 2021 9:34 am at 9:34 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011226Reb EliezerParticipantThe Mayanai Shel Torah explains that Adam justified his actions that he did not violate Hashem’s commandment from minos, non-belief but from taaveh, desire. For the former a small amount would have created the desired goal of yodea tov vera, to distinguish between good and bad (then justify the bad as good) but I am not satisfied with my eating as I desire to eat more, so I did not eat from minos.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey simply want to show that they are Torah scholars who dress accordingly. A white shirt and black suit is considered to dress up.
For Shabbos and Yom Tov we get a better quality outfit.October 1, 2021 8:44 am at 8:44 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011209Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer in Toras Mishe explains Adam’s justification differently. The Midrash says that he drank grape juice. He was forbidden grapes but juice might be allowed. She was not commanded, so maybe she was allowed to eat the grapes and that is why she did not die but she also was part of him as the juice is part of the grqpes. So memanefshech, in either way he was allowed to eat. Why did she not die after eating? If she is part of him, she should have died and if she is not considered part of him, then I only drank grape juice which is not part of the grapes and therefore, in either way, I can contimue on eating.
October 1, 2021 8:43 am at 8:43 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2011208Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rambam paskens that chametz is assur less than a kezayis, an olive because of lo yeochel chametz. They ask why we need an extra pasuk and use like Rebbi Yochanan who forbids it all over from kol chelev. Answers the Noda Beyehudah that it is required for the last day of Pesach when chaze leitztarifa, being able to axxumulate by eating more does not apply. The Chasam Sofer, whose yahr tzeit happens to be today, says in Toras Moshe, that had Adam Harishan waited until shabbos of eating from the eitz hadaas, the forbidden fruit would have been allowed. Maybe the strength of shabbos would have swayed him towards the good. Similarly Adam Harishon ate it Friday at the end of the day, so if he ate more, he was allowed by justifying himself, I ate a small amount and will be allowed to eat more as it will not accumulate.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou are right, I made a mistake.
Reb EliezerParticipantFargreng has a bad connotatuin farbreng the zeit, wastijg the time.
Reb EliezerParticipantShaving a beard according to the holy Chasam Sofer whose yahr tzeit is tomorrow on the 25th of Tishri as indicated in his teshuva O’CH 159 is not such a big deal as long as stubles are left.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Baal Haikarim devides the thirteen beliefs of the Rambam to three:
1. belief in Hashem
2. Reward and Punshment
3. Heavenly TorahHe has to first believe in this abive three beliefs.
Reb EliezerParticipantHilel, who I think gives a purpose in life, says אם אין אני לי מי לי, if I don’t care for myself, who wiill, כשאני לעצמי מה אני, if I am only for myself, what am I, אם לא עכשיו אימתי, if not now when? A person first must improve oneself and then others as soon as possible provided one believes in the afterworld.
Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the holy Shlah, scar veonash, reward and punishment, the second belief of three according to the Baal Haikarim, is a measuring stick of the amount of nachas ruach we give to Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantSometumes we withhold what they desire, no ice cream for you.
Reb EliezerParticipantGH, It says, the same as when Av enters we duminish in simcha, so when Adar enters we increase in simcha. What is the comparison? Says Rav Yosef Baumgarten in his sefer Pardes Yosef, that we certainly fast lashem shomayim but eating lashem shomayim needs extta effort. See the topic Yom Kippur like Purim.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe gemora says, how great are the hachamim who said forty means thirty nine, but we don’t find the same expression by sefiras haomer where fifty is forty nine? I heard, that by lashes it is specially great how they showed mercy on the individual when possible.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says vehayisa ach semeach, so let us not squander the simcha we acquired through the holidays and keep it, at least in a smaller measure, for the rest of the year.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Haflaah explains the passage uvocharta bechaim, chose life as always emphasize the positive.
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard from my Rav, Rav Pollak in Staten Island that the first day there was also separation. The light and darkness is good when separated but not water and water on the second day.
September 30, 2021 9:04 am at 9:04 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis – Undiminished Sensitivity: #2010843Reb EliezerParticipantThe Haflaah explains the meaning of when learning from a rebbi, we should see him as an angel of Hashem. An angel is stationary. Similarly, a rebbi should set aside his own edification for the benefit of thr talmidim. The Chasam Sofer explains that the moon agreed to be made smaller, so that the stars could be seen.
Reb EliezerParticipantWelcome back. Happy to hear you again b’h. We thank the Healer of the Sick. Baruch Rafei Cholim.
September 27, 2021 3:22 pm at 3:22 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah:The Succos Willow and the Essential Jewish Good Nature #2010370Reb EliezerParticipantThe earth get punished at the time Adam Harishon sined. Why? Maybe, He wanted to eat the fruit of the eitz hadaas as the tree was forbidden, so tasted each from the other trees and noticed that they taste different. But the eitz hadaas was an esrug tasting the same, so the fruit was also forbidden. He would not have eaten of the eits hadaas if the earth would have followed Hashem’s commandment eitz peri having the fruit and tree taste the same.
September 27, 2021 1:20 pm at 1:20 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis – Undiminished Sensitivity: #2010352Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rabbenu Bachaya in Parashas Pinchas says that the sun took the shame from the moon and did not answer back. This is the meaning of hanelavin veainim alvim, does who get ashamed but don’t ashame back on them the pasuk says veahavov katzes hashemesh bigvirosa, those who love Hashem are like the sun at its strength.
