Avira, I don’t understand the above halacha as the hanoah does not come from bosor bechalav but from feeding the animals. Maybe since you have a hanoah from feeding them and you don’t have to spend money on other food, you gain from bosor bechalav and have hanoah from it.
July 27, 2021 9:20 pm at 9:20 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1995010Reb EliezerParticipantAvi K, the Rambam was like Rebbi Meir who learned from acber but we are not on his level to learn from an atheist.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvi K, if the trust is kost, the contract is void.
July 27, 2021 2:21 pm at 2:21 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994986Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, it says clearly that in the summer one with neder cannot tovel hmself because of personal physical enjoyment and mitzvos are not for enjoyment does not apply.
July 27, 2021 2:21 pm at 2:21 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994985Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, whether safek brachos kehakel means to make a bracha or not make bracha might be an argument between the Rambam, brachus unneeded are assur for lo sassur, so don’t make a bracha on a safek and the Rabbenu Taam, who says (Rosh Hashana 33), that women make a bracha on time dependent mitzvos because unneeded brachas are derabonon and therefore on a safek we should make a bracha. The RMA paskens like the Rosh that Chol Hamoad we should make a bracha on tefilin. The Magen Avraham paskens like the Rabbenu Taam there.
July 27, 2021 12:13 pm at 12:13 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994975Reb EliezerParticipantThe Binah Leitim on the last day of Pesach based on the pasuk עולם חסד יבנה, the world was created witb chesed, not for Hashem Hiimself but for us as a king who shares his weaktb with his servants. Maybe, והלכת בדרכיו, we should emulate Him, our assignment in this world is to share our wealth with others, physical wealth and Torah knowledge.
July 27, 2021 11:08 am at 11:08 am in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994924Reb EliezerParticipantWho cares about Rand? The Chasam Sofer says כפתורה ופרחיה ממנה יהיה all emgelishment and beautifying for the Torah should be from itself.
July 27, 2021 11:05 am at 11:05 am in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994935Reb EliezerParticipantIn either case Rashi or Rashba we don’t care about spiritual enjoyment and consider the act as altruism.
Reb EliezerParticipantI asked our LOR if vaxxinated Jews are responsible to protect the unvaccinated by wearing masks like St. Louis, MO and he agreed with me that they are not as they have the responsibility to vaccinate themselves.
July 26, 2021 7:03 pm at 7:03 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994840Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a difference between a physical hanoah which is not batel but a spiritual haniah as above s batel because of mitzvos were not given for enjoyment see Rosh Hashana (28,1) therefore it is considered altruistic. See rhe Binah Leitim volume 2 on Pirkei Avos about being selfish.
Reb EliezerParticipantYabia Omer, doesn’t lesaken mean to fix?
Reb EliezerParticipantWe say in yiddish boruch dir on yashkoach.
July 26, 2021 10:48 am at 10:48 am in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994674Reb EliezerParticipantIs there such thing as pure altruism? It says איזהו עשיר השמח בחלקו explains the Binah Leitim that a person is truly happy personally when he makes others happy with his wealth. Making others happy makes us feel good spiritually that we were able to share our wealth and made others happy. Your personal enjoyment does not matter and is batel as being mechadesh something.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, Moshe Rabbenu wanted the meraglim to see the strenght of the residing nations to realize that they need Hashem’s help to conquer them and they cannot do it on their own. According to the Malbim originally every shevet was sent to see the good and what land is their preference, lasur but they changed their mission, leragel seeing the bad its deficiency by thinking that they themselves need to conquer it. Maybe they felt they exhausted their zechusim to be helped but Hashem provides a matnas chinom, free hand even though currently no zechusim exist.
July 25, 2021 10:22 pm at 10:22 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994592Reb EliezerParticipantThe world was created and stands on chesed as the Midrash says behiborom read is as avraham.
Reb EliezerParticipantRealize that the nazi’s ym’s also generalized, saying ch’v all Jews are bad.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira. I appreciate and thank your effort.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, the Rambam paskens that chasidei umos haolam have a part in the next world, so we don’t generalize.
July 25, 2021 3:29 pm at 3:29 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994482Reb EliezerParticipantI would tthank Hashem for the ability given to me to say a good pilpul.
Reb EliezerParticipantDo not order online but call the US distributer mentioned there.
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, we did not rely on the farmer but watched him milk the cow usung our pale.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, Look at dbs123 dot com.
July 25, 2021 12:47 pm at 12:47 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994429Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, I see you have capital letters in your arsenal, so why not use it for Hashem?
Reb EliezerParticipantIs CR a social media?
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, I was born after Horthy’s rule in January of 1948, who abdicated to the Arrow Cross October 15, 1944. Whether he was anti-semite see momentmag dot com/horthy-jews-budapest/
Reb EliezerParticipantThe reason that something out place returns to its place because it is uncomfortable being out of place.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Meharal in Netzach Yisrael says that if something is out of place, will eventually return to its place. We Jews are out of our place EY, so let us hope that we will return soon to our place.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy favorite is the Jewish Mother or where the orthodox rabbi wrote a check to place in the coffin. In general comedy, Who is on first.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantThank you Benephraim as the piel takes a dagesh.
Reb EliezerParticipantI came from Hungary under communist rule and we kept shabbos and kashrus there having a cheder where we had Torah education. Pesach we took along a pale to a farmer in order to have kosher milk.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee for Tu B’av, https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/promotions/1993659/video-got-90-seconds-why-is-everyone-talking-about-live-tu-bav-together-4-shidduchim.html
Say Tehillim 32, 38, 70, 82, 121, 124, 127 and 128 where each has a reference to shidduch.Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ,
מגן אברהם סימן סח הקדמה
האר”י ז”ל לא היה אומר פיוטים ופזמונים אלא מה שסדרו הראשונים כגון הקלירי שנתקנו ע”ד האמת, אמנם המנהגים שנהגו בשרשי התפלה אין לשנות ממנהג מקומו כי י”ב שערים בשמים נגד י”ב שבטים וכל שבט יש לו שער ומנהג לבד מה שנזכר בגמרא שוה לכל (הכוונות) וז”ל הגמרא ירושלמי אף על פי ששלחנו לכם סדר התפלות אל תשנו ממנהג אבותיכם עכ”ל וכ”כ בס”ח סי’ רנ”ו וכתב שגם הפסוקים שאומרים על הפיוטים צריך לנגן כמו שמנגנים הקרוב”ץ. ובש”ל האריך בשם גאונים שמצוה לומר פיוטים
וכשפייט ר”א וחיות אשר הנה וכו’ ליהטה אש סביבותיו עכ”לReb EliezerParticipantAAQ, sometimes we rely on emunah and we stop asking questions.
Reb EliezerParticipantYabia Omer, reply #1994029, why is there a chatov (shavo nah) under the ches when it is a tenua ketana (patach) which should be closed with a shavo noch?
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, maybe, living in EY, the palace of the King.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis happens when the midas horachamiim turns into midas hadin as above, so Moshe Rabbenu was asking in Parashas Vaeschanan to turn midas hadin to midas horachamim.
July 23, 2021 11:02 am at 11:02 am in reply to: Dvar Torah / Chesed Avraham – Parshas Vaeschanan #1994102Reb EliezerParticipantIt also teaches us the love that Moshe Rabbenu had for EY to be mekayem its mitzvos where he did not stop davening until 515 tefilos.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen we sin, we sin doubly, once for not doing the will of Hashem and two for not allowing Him to do good to us. It hurts Him when He cannot do good to us and maybe there is a double nechama, one for us and one for Himself.
Reb EliezerParticipantNow Tu B’ov falls on Shabbos Nachamu which is similar to Yom Kippur being a kapara of the meraglim whereas Yom Kippur is the kapara of the eigel. Both, the girls celebrated in white dress borrowing in order not to ashame each other.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf I understand the first Rashi correctly, it says that we are only entitled to EY if we keep the Torah as it originally was given to the goyim and was taken away from them because we, the Jews, were more worthy but if we don’t keep the Torah, EY would revert back to them.
Reb EliezerParticipantMods, has this problem been fixed?
for now
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Klei Yakar explains the pasuk bashomayim mimaal, the heaven above, vehaaretz mitochas, and earth below. This looks obvious. He explains how a person should learn mussar. When it comes to heavenly, spiritual things, one should look at people who are seen as being above him, to strive high, however, when it comes to earthly, material things, one should look at people below him, having less than him, becoming satisfied with what he has.
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, The MB O’CH 68 s’k 4 quotes from the Arizal not to change the nusach hatfila as each shevet has its own gate where it enters. The Pri Megodim there says not to change nuschaos for this reason. The Divreu Chaim says that sefard is a general nusach for any shevet, so it can be changed to but the Shut Chasam Sofer O’CH 15, did not agree. See Shut Shaar Ephraim 13, Teshuva Meahava 1,1 and Chavas Yair 238 about saying yotzros.
July 22, 2021 5:47 pm at 5:47 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah Classics and Beyond Va’eschanan — Reasons for Rest #1993955Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe we can connect the two reasons with a Ramban who says that hotzisicha by aseres hadibros also validates the creation as only the One who created the world can change it.
So yetzias mitraim includes the creation but creation does not necessarily include yetzias mitzraim.Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, as in the beginning of the Sefer Chasiddim, in hebrew, we should say Hashem Yisborach as the Rosh was mesaken to say Boruch Hu Uvorich Shmo based on the passage Zecher tzadik livracha.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen the cheftza does not change in kashrus can we eat it? As we said that trust changes, the answer would be no.
Reb EliezerParticipantYes, you can debate what should be written.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rebublicans, being in a bubble, get paid in Congress but are only there to obstruct. They cannot even discuss a bill.
July 22, 2021 3:34 pm at 3:34 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah Classics and Beyond Va’eschanan — Reasons for Rest #1993893Reb EliezerParticipantZechira, remembrance applies also to goyim but shemira, refrain from work on shabbos only applies to Jews.
