    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.

    AAQ, 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.

    The 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 חיורי

    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.

    It 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.

    common 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.

    There 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.

    We ask in davenen והסר שטן מלפנינו ומאחרינו, remove the satan from before us and from behind us. The Tiferes Yisroel Perek (4,2,12) explains that when we want to do a mitzva, he stands infront of us to stop us from doing it, whereas by an aveira, he stands behind us, to allow us to do it.

    When you have good merchandise, let the merchandise speak for itself. The yetzer hara talks a great deal because he has nothing good to sell compared to the yetzer tov who does not have to talk much.
    The Chasan Sofer explains that Yosef did not listen to Potifar’s wife as she was constantly nudging him similar to the yetzer hara.

    According to the Sefer Hachinuch there are also 6 mitvos that constantly apply. אנכי ה’ א-להיך, belief in Hashem, לא יהיה לך, not to believe in strange gods, יחודו, recognizing Hashem’s uniquness, אהבה, to love Him, יראה, to fear Him and לא תתור, not to get influenced by our heart and sight. Maybe the mnemonic can be א-לי, א-לי.

    The Magen Avraham says to keep in mind the 6 zechiras by krias shema. ובנו בחרת, You chose us, kabolax hatora, וקרבתנו לשמך הגדול, broght us close to your name, which will be complete after the destruction of amolek, להודות לך, to praise You, use our mouth properly, not like Miriiam, וליחדך באהבה, to recognize Your unique might with love, not like the people in the midbar, ‘וזכרתם את כל מצוות ה, remember all Hashem’s comandments, shabbos which comprizes all commandments and אשר הוצאתי אתכם מארץ מצרים, yetzias mitzraim and he finishes by saying tto drop he talis from the shoulders when saying krias shema. Maybe like the Midrash says to be surrounded by all sides with mitzvos.

    One way to fight the yetzer hara is to keep in mind the holy Alashich’s vort, והיה עקב תשמעון as the end will be that we will be forced to listen through a melech kasha kehaman, a king harsh like haman, וידעת היום we might as well take to heart now and liisten now.

    Maybe we can learn a new pshat on גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות when a person where his physical codition causes spritual depression, the yetzer hara affects him, nothing bad will happens to him if he realizes that the rod, stick or crutch is there to comfort him and has not been forsaken like a father who says I hit you because I love you.

    The Arvei Nachal in Parashas Shelach explains the three means to recognize the yetzer hara’s influence over the yetzer tov. One, if something is done with a greater ferver than usual, two, how would one feel if done by someone else and three if all else fails, do the sin with a small neasure and see your reaction. When David Hamelech wanted to kill Shaul he instead cut off his shirt’s corner and felt bad about it, so he knew that he should not touch him.

    The Baal Akeida explains the meaning of הרהורי עבירה קשה מעבירה. thinking of a sin is worse than the sin itself, rationalising, explaining an aveira by minimizing it and saying there is nothing wrong in doing it.
    The GRA explains the gemora in Shabbos (12,1) where Rav Yishmoel ben Elisha bent the wick and said afterwards. how great are the words of the chachamim who said in the mishna not to read by a candle light and did not mention a reason for it. When a reason is known, one rationalizes by saying, by me it does not apply as king Shlomo married many women (1000) hy saying that the prohibition of being swayed away from Hashem by them does not apply to me.
