    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.

    When 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.

    We 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.

    One is protected when not vaccinated from being reinfected with the delta variant when recovered from delta variant but not from the alpha variant.

    Many 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.

    Maybe 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.

    By 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?

    The 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.

    When 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.

    What 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.

    The 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.

    According 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.

    ujm, 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.

    The 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.

    The 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.

    ujm, 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.
