Reb EliezerParticipant
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.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher 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.Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, why don”t you say that he should get the J&J vaccine which I received in March not having the above problem?
Reb EliezerParticipantphil, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe 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.

August 13, 2021 1:37 pm at 1:37 pm in reply to: Is the frum “business/economic model” sustainable? #1999678Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
August 13, 2021 12:22 pm at 12:22 pm in reply to: Is the frum “business/economic model” sustainable? #1999653Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantUse j&j which does not use this technology.
Reb EliezerParticipantReah, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
