Reb EliezerParticipant
Barr said no widespread election fraud (AP).
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Yechaveh Daas (1,43) from Rav Avadyah Yosef ztz’l whether to say Nachem currently, He concludes that we are still in galus.
Reb EliezerParticipantGore could have argued on a small difference but he conceded gracefully. Barr, who backed Trump, admitted that he did not see any wide voter fraud. All this audits generate small differences and does not justify the big lie, a stolen election.
Reb EliezerParticipantIYK, you are complaining when you can help yourself. Forget and put aside all that happened to you in your youth. We recognize and value your pain. Don’t let those who hurt you win.
Reb EliezerParticipantCS, if everyone can do that, why nominate me?
Reb EliezerParticipantSee Shut Chasam Sofer O’CH 159 about shaving.
Reb EliezerParticipanter, I know what I know but I don’t know all. The more we know, the more we know how much we don’t know. It is like an astronaut, the more space he conquers, the more he realizes how much more there is to conquer.
July 13, 2021 11:37 am at 11:37 am in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1991087Reb EliezerParticipantDY, The sevara is that you can wear weekday cloth on shabbos at home according to that Biur Halacha, therefore it is not a hachana.
Reb EliezerParticipantI have the means of researching any shaila.
Reb EliezerParticipantTosfas in Bava Metzia explains that the Beis Shamai are charufei tefei, sharper. So the Baas Kol did not argue on our understanding that the majority is in quantity and not quality and therefore not contradicting the rule of lo bashomayim.
July 12, 2021 7:23 pm at 7:23 pm in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990851Reb EliezerParticipantDY, I used a savoro which is min Hatorah, I did not see you abfregen, making a difference.
See Piskei Teshuvas O’CH 551,115 who brings an argument about it. After plag mincha one can daven maariv, without melacha, and for a mtzva be machshich al hatchum. If stepping on is not good, then bideaved this is an eitza.Reb EliezerParticipantResident Mortal. if people say you are drunk, lie down.
Reb EliezerParticipantCongratulate him and wish everyone to reach his milestone.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Binah Leitim interprets the passage eizehu ashir hasomeach bechlka , that a person is reach when he can use his wealth to make others happy and thereby making himself happy.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, there is a Daroshas Haran who explains that they could not follow Rebbi Eliezer because once the Torah was given down to earth, it must be undestood with human understanding. The Chunuch says that we must follow the majority view. The Torah agrees with the view according to their interpretation and is not a change.
I explained that leosid lavo we will pasken like the Beis Shamai, what about the majority? Currently we don’t understand their stringent view but then we will gain a greater understanding, umoloh haaretz deah, such that the majority will follow the Beis Shamai.Reb EliezerParticipantI will explain the logic behind not to stand out but be part of the tzibur. The Shunamis said, besoch ami anochi yosheves, I reside among my nation. Says the holy Zohar, a person should not separate oneself from the group because if anything bad happens ch’v. one will be spotted and recognized thereby getting blamed.
Reb EliezerParticipantA person bought a hat which was too small for him, so he went to a goldsmith to squeeze his head to make it smaller. When we don’t like what the Torah commands, as times have changed, we don’t change the Torah but the envirinment.
Reb EliezerParticipantIYK, when you say Haahem is above Torah, you are saying against the known Zohar who says yisroel, veoyraysa, vekudsha brich hu chad hu. there is a unity between Hashem, the Torah and Yisroel being One. The Torah unifies us with Hashem. It instills in us the love to Hashem and therefore, Hashem shows His love toward us thereby creating one entity.
It says Bereishis, the world was created because of the Torah called reishis and Yisroel also called reishes. The Torah is the original blue print for the world. Takmidei Chachamim don’t modify the Torah which will not change with time but as times require can modify creation. Boro ekokim laasos, Hashem created to do. They are given authority through the Torah to modify creation as required. You cannot make up your own logic as you like.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen it comes to davenen infront of an uncovered women, there are two considerations, erva and hirhur. Hirhur depends on the custom privided it is within tzinus like covering her head with a little hair showing but erva is erva. By a men is much more lenient as long it is not erva.
Reb EliezerParticipantCurrently, if it is a common practice to dress like that, people become used to it. See the Aruch Hashulchan O’CH 75 and the MB who argues there by women but by men he might agree.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Meshech Hachma and Chasam Sofer say, in a small measure anti-semitism is good for us to protect us from assimilation.
Reb EliezerParticipantDirishu brings the Igros Moshe YD (3,47,3) who says that one should not dress in a way where if peoole would visit him at home, be ashamed to greet them.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Tzetil Katan says that our assignment for this world is to change our own natural behavior.
I heard a story from the daughter of Rav Yonasan Steif ztz’l where his student was called in to the draft in Hungary. He went to him and he gave him an incantation to say before seeing the doctor found in the gemora Megilla, the goats in the slaughter house are fatter than me. Once he said that, his hands developed the sign of leprosy. The doctor said, you are coming to infect us, get out. As he went outside, the whole thing disappeared and his hands got cured.Reb EliezerParticipantHashem loves those who learn his Torah and gives them strength to change nature.
Reb EliezerParticipantIYK, Hashem gave the power to change nature, if required, to Torah learners as the Torah is above nature. We don’t worship nature as it is a creation of Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Klei Yakar says in Parashas Devorim on Penu lochem tzofano, to be hidden in galus and not show off to incite the goyim and create our own anti-semitism. Also, see the Meshech Chachma in Parashas Bechukosai on Veaf gam zos to realize we are in galus and not think that Berlin is Jerusalem.
Reb EliezerParticipant2scents, don’t forget the gemora, am haaretz assur lechol bossor which I explained above with the Klei Yakar.
Reb EliezerParticipantShechita minimizes the pain to animals when killing them, but if Hashem cares for any pain in animals how can we kill them?
Reb EliezerParticipantIn creation what was created before was for need of what was created later like a prepared table. Water was for the plants, plants were for animals and animals were for humans.
July 11, 2021 4:47 pm at 4:47 pm in reply to: Universal Health care, Obamacare, Managed Care #1990504Reb EliezerParticipantI have Medicaid next to Medicare but I don’t have Medicaid. My Social Security is too much to be eligible. I have to pay the surplus to be able to receive the sevices, so it is only economical on a big medical expense.
Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the above Klei Yakar, Adam Harishon did not learn Torah and therefore, was forbidden to eat meat whereas Noach was allowed as he did by recognizing the kosher. seven animals for sacrifice and the two, non kosher, not for sacrifice.
Reb EliezerParticipantOne of the lessons we learn, one does not die from a question. This was based on a question to allow a married woman to remarry and consider the husband dead. We must have two winesses that testify to that effect. It also applies in Torah learning by understanding that the lack of knowledge to answer a question is a deficiency in us but not in the Torah. So what the Torah says is still true even though we can’t answer a question.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe girls are exempt of uniforms on Rosh Chodash as it is a holiday given to them as a reward for being the first to contribute by the mishkan and not contribute by the eigal.
Reb EliezerParticipantIYK, I really feel sorry and bad about your situation. The Klei Yakar(born 1540) on the pasuk that animals will fear us explains that if we learn and keep the Torah, we climb above animals that were created for our benefit and we become entitled to consume them at least on shabbos and yom tov which instills enjoyment for us.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe month of Av teaches us that Hashem, our father, who shows through instilling pain that he has not forsaken us. Shivtecha umishentech. your rod,stick and/or your crutch console us that You have not forsaken us like a father towards his son. The Chidushei Harim says that the snake was cursed by eating dust which is around everywhere as Hashem says to it, here is your food and don’t bother me. I don’t desire your prayer.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, that is a new one for me. The Ramban. who was also a doctor, says by arleh that kosher is the healthiest food for us.
July 11, 2021 12:55 pm at 12:55 pm in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990413Reb EliezerParticipantDY, if something is only used for weekday, it is a hachana on shabbos otherwise it is not as you are using it for shabbos.
Reb EliezerParticipantIYK, I understand your situation. When our sages commanded us to eat on Yom Kippur as our health comes before almost everything to protect our holy soul, we endeavour to violate the Torah by doing the smallest violation like eating kosher on Yom Kippur as kosher fish which has scales and fins.
July 11, 2021 11:48 am at 11:48 am in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990380Reb EliezerParticipantDY, did you see the Biur Halacha mentioned above. So as I can wear at home on shabbis any clothing why be a hachana? You might be a Daas Yochid as your name indicates.
Reb EliezerParticipantAbove reply #1990178 should be purpose of uniforms, so they are not suppose to cost so much.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says that the 15th of Av was celebrated as the girls put white dresses on and everyone, even if they had, would borrow from the other in order not to ashame does who do not have. This is the person of uniforms, so they are not suppuse to cost so much.
July 9, 2021 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990107Reb EliezerParticipantStepping can be done on a weekday in 9 days when not worn before.
July 9, 2021 3:12 pm at 3:12 pm in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990079Reb EliezerParticipantYabia Omer, your comment is for sefardim or also for ashkenazim?
Reb EliezerParticipantabove, to raise the price. The Magen Avraham in the begining of Hilchas Shabbos allows to boycott eating fish on shabbos to lower the price.
July 9, 2021 2:31 pm at 2:31 pm in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990063Reb EliezerParticipantWearing shabbos cloth every shabbos is in public but in his house he can do what he wants.
See SA O’CH 262,3 and the Biur Halacha there, kelim naim.Reb EliezerParticipantThe gemora Yoma (83,1) calls Shabsai the Fruit Collector a rasha for storing fruits to raise the price Tj
July 9, 2021 1:16 pm at 1:16 pm in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990052Reb EliezerParticipantSince the RMA says to wear weekday cloth on this shabbos, even though we don’t do it, is our option and therefore, I think, it is not a hachana.
July 9, 2021 12:00 pm at 12:00 pm in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990039Reb EliezerParticipantSyag, what will a person do if they forgot to wear it?
July 9, 2021 11:49 am at 11:49 am in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990034Reb EliezerParticipantIn order not to be a hachana for shabbos, wear it a little while. I suggested before, if being a CR for CR, to validate my suggestions with your LOR.
July 9, 2021 11:47 am at 11:47 am in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990029Reb EliezerParticipantI say that as a maasei rav, a halacha lemaaseh in our yeshivas.
