MadeAliyah, aren’t you concerned with your own country?
I nominate Sam Klein for Resident Preacher who likes to belabor the obvious but misses describing where teshuva should be. I said that the COVID prohibited our interaction with each other by social distancung and masking which we should evaluate and change.
I am more concerned about Israeli government.
Phil, I don’t agree. When other peoole are involved, veavto lereacha comes into play and maybe your personal rights have to be put aside.
The holy Shlah says that every person must place judges and police on one’s own gates, openings, ears, eyes and mouth to monitor what goes in and comes out and not be lazy but learn from the ant.
Philosopher I don’t agree with you. This virus is extra ordinary, so it requires extra ordinarily measures by getting vaccinated which most rabbis agree with besides the normal protection you prescribe as I take every year a flu vaccine.
We don’t rely on miracles as G-d helps those that help themselves.Philosopher, why don”t you say that he should get the J&J vaccine which I received in March not having the above problem?
phil, it says ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם, you should protect your body well, in plural to protect others too, so I don’t agree with you but תפסת מרובה לא תפסת grabbing too much is also not good.
We say, רופא כל בשר ומפליא לעשות, maybe, we are referring to a vaccine that can fool the body to think it is sick before becoming sick to create antibodies to fight when becoming sick as it says אני ה’ רפאיך, Hashem prevents us from becoming sick.
Above should be. live one’s life
The Chasan Sofer, who was a talmid of the Ksav Sofer, interprets the Haggada as a seder, rule for the whole year, בשעה שיש מצה ומרור מונחים לפניך to keep the good and bad constantly infront of us.
The Ksav Sofer gives us a remez, hint of how one should like one’s life both when going good or ch’v badly. It says, וה’ הולך לפניהם יומם when Hashem provides someone hatzlacha, success, בעמוד ענן לנחותם הדרך, a person should keep infront the dark cloud, not make his wealth sway him from Hashem but realize that his wealth comes from Hashem who can also take it away, ולילה בעמוד אש, and vice versa, when going ch’v badly, he should keep in mind the cloud of fire, not to get depessed but realise that Hashem can make it better. ללכת יומם ולילה. this will help to live when doing good or not.
Use j&j which does not use this technology.
Reah, Rav Shwab was mechaven to the Binah Leitim on Pirkei Avos that true wealth is what we give to and share with others. The Binah Leitim also says (Shevii shel Pesach) based on the pasuk olam chesed yiboneh, the world constantly stands on chesed, Hashem created the world to share His wealth with others. So vehalachto bedrachav. we should emulate His ways,so it makes sense that we should do the same to others.
You can do personaly what you want but don’t try to influence others when it is a question of their health. I don’t think that you would be happy if someone died ch’v because of it. The protection of the vaccine outweighs the discomfort.
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.
Philoeopher, 12 in how many?
One is protected when not vaccinated from being reinfected with the delta variant when recovered from delta variant but not from the alpha variant.
Thw military is deciding to vaccinate all its participants which employs 3 million people.
You will not cut off your nose to spite your face. If you can satisfy your needs through another company, kol hakavod.
philosopher, how many vaccinated ended up in the hospital and how many died from it?
My 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.
Health, once I agree with you how to protect the children.
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?
AAQ, what is the precise value for PI and the SQRT(2)?
Should be above, you are making him equal
AAQ, thanks for the vort from the Satmerer ztz’l whidh sounds like him.
Should be above, belongs to Hm
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.
The 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.
Syag, 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.
It 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.
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.
ujm, what you suggesting is genevas daas. If he believes in not vaccinating, let him suffer the consequences.
When Trump in 2021 wanted to destroy our democracy, we were reminded of 1984.
I 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.
Chasiddim stay home to take care of many children as caretakers cost much money.
torahval, get vaccinated to avoid getting sick and ‘dying’.
coffee addict, I agree, someone who is vaccunated should not have to wear a mask when the other person has the optiion to vaccinate.
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.
The Levush certainly applies by unmarried girls who don’t have to cover their hair.
