July 9, 2021 11:13 am at 11:13 am in reply to: Do you try on clean clothes before the 9 days? #1990010Reb EliezerParticipantPeople have the custom to do it on shabbos when they are not busy. If it cannot be done, one should step on them. Underware is not really necessary.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Binah Leitim in Eis Tzarah, the 1st Darush for Shabbos Divrei explains the connectiion of the haftoras for the three weeks. It says in Shabbos (119,2) that the churban came because shelo hohichu zeh es zeh, they did not admonish each other. Then it says. keayolim lo motzu mire, like rams that don’t find pasture, being like rams when walking, sticking their head in the tail of the other, not listening and therefore also ashaming talmidei chachamim. He says all are true. The talmudei chachamomim covered for each other, so they did not admonish each other, in order, as each is also knowledgeable, will admonish him back, but the hamon am, the layman, they did admonish. So they did not listen and the taomidei chachamim got ashamed. Therefore, the haftoras are divrei, to admonish equally everyone, then shimi, it will be listened to. The hochacha, admonishment should be what is described in chazon. Listening should bring the redemption and the rebuilding the beis hamikdash, the temple, ibimheira beyomeinu, in our time. Amen
Reb EliezerParticipantPinchas, tosfas in Shabbos (23,2) says that todir only applies in precedence when both are done then the constant comes first but if one is done or the other, todir is not followed but publicizing the miracle. We say a yom tov shemonei esrei with shabbos rather than a shabbos shemonei esrei with yom tov. Also they must be on the same level, if one is obligatory and the other optional it is not followed, see Shagas Aryeh 27. It is like a race where one is crippled. The constant should not be done kamitzvas anoshim melumodim. done by rout.
Reb EliezerParticipantMattos, we can even learn from the bad, what not to do. We can learn mitvos from what ferver aveiros are done. Bilaam wanted a reward from his bridling of his domkey, so he was told that Avraham Avinu did that before him.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer explains the statement, kol hamisabel al Yerusalaim zoche veraeh besimchasa, whoever mourns the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem will be able to see its rejoicement. A dead person l’a is after twelve months forgotten from the heart, but by his mourning, he shows that for him, the destruction of the temple is not dead and forgotten, therefore, his needs to rebuild Jerusalem with the temple will also not be forgotten and be able to see its rejoicenent.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis is the number with 301 zeroes which multiplies their current population of 600,000.
July 8, 2021 4:07 pm at 4:07 pm in reply to: Conservative sounds better for people with ADHD #1989685Reb EliezerParticipantThe singing was eliminated by the orthodox because it was instututed by the reform.
Reb EliezerParticipantSpeaking of mathematics, the Binah Leitim 3rd Darush for Parashas Eicha, explains how the placement of a word in the brocho of Moshe Rabbenu changes its meaning for the better. It says in Parashas Devorim, Hashem Elokeichem yosef aleichem kochem elef pamim, where it should have said, elef pamim kochem? This converts it from a finite brocho to an almost infinite brocho. Hashem should double your current count (kochem) and repeat the doubling a thousand times. The amount will be 2 to the thousand power. It is a number containing 301 zeroes according to the logarithm of 2 which is equal to .3010 when multiplied by thousand will be 301.
Reb EliezerParticipantGH. thanks for your praises. I consider myself a talmid chacham being a talmid mechacham, a student from a chacham, is like an astronaut who the more space he conquers realizes how much more there is to conquer.
Reb EliezerParticipantTell me what you want to know as I have an acquaintance whose son in law comes from there.
July 8, 2021 12:53 pm at 12:53 pm in reply to: Universal Health care, Obamacare, Managed Care #1989642Reb EliezerParticipantWhat happened to Trump? He changes as the wind blows.
Reb EliezerParticipantI left Sopron, Hungary February 12, 1957. here Lincoln’s Birthday being 9 years old. Three months we were in Viena Continental Hotel and taken to Asten being there until Jully, 9, 1959. When coming here, we were two weeks in Broadway Central Hotel at Bleeker Street, NYC after whidh we moved to Crown Heights until May 1972 when married and moved to Boro Park. In 1977 moved to Staten Island. Adopted to children, a boy and a girl. Ny wife passed away in April, 2010.
Reb EliezerParticipantJuly 9th will be 62 years being in America coming here after 2 1/2 years waiting for HIAS to immigrate in Austria DP camp Asten close to Linz in wooden baracks.
July 7, 2021 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm in reply to: Universal Health care, Obamacare, Managed Care #1989385Reb EliezerParticipantI agree of having a healthy diet, but how do you enforce it? Sugar, salt and fats.
July 7, 2021 2:09 pm at 2:09 pm in reply to: Universal Health care, Obamacare, Managed Care #1989326Reb EliezerParticipantYisro did not just complain but gave advice how to fix it. Health stop complaining and advise how to fix it.
Reb EliezerParticipantLekan adds up to 101, learning 101 is greater than 100. Ani Li also adds up to 101. A person must care for himself first and then for others as Hilel tells us. There is a vort of the Baal Shem Tov that even learning one letter requires us to respect the rebbi bringing a proof from Doag who thought David Hamelech only two things. He explains that one letter is para verava, multiplies knowledge but Doag taught him ‘only’ those two things nothing else. Therefore a person learning lishma gains ‘many’ benefits. I have an example how one letter creates new knowledge. Whoever adds to the mitzvos takes away because it says, amosayim vachetsi archa, so the GRA explains that the proof is not from amosayim because we would not know the measurements. The proof is from the ‘vov’ of vachetsi as without it we would read amosayim chatzi archa, two is half its length, so the length would be four but like this it is two and a half less than otherwise.
Reb EliezerParticipantI am told by the above website that the Gemara Tutor has been rewritten to be downloadable to a smart phone the Talmud Master not yet.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe two programs together are less than $100 at the above website.
Reb EliezerParticipantLo Tzirtzach goes with anochi Hashem, don’t take away his chelek alokai mimaal. The Aseres Hadibros can also be read across as Rashi explains in Shir Hashirim on Teomei Tzvia.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe computer programs above are enjoyable multiple choice games that teach the expressions in gemara, e.g. bamei askinin, what are we taking about, that when recognized will allow one to set words correctly. The other teaches the keywords that intruduce ae.g. a kashyeh, eiseva, maskif, iboei lehu, to shema which can be a kashe, question or tiretz. answer depending where the chamor appears. Chamor can mean either wine or a donkey depending on the context.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Binah Leitim explains the passage in Pirkei Avos, im lomadta Torah harbeh, al tachzik tovah leatzmecha, don’t keep the best for yourself. ki lekach notzarto, you were created to help others. For yourself, you did not need to be created. If one learns just for himself, would have been better not be created as he does not satisfy the purpose of creation, to help others. The Ben Ish Chai says that lekach has two kafs, one closed and one open. poseach tiftach es yadcha, open up your clenched fist. The Midrash in Koheles compares this to a fox who sees an vineyard sorrounded by a fence which has a small hole, so he has to fast to get through. When he fills himself up with grapes, he becomes fat again, so he has to fast again. A person is born with a clenched fist but dies with an open hand. There are no pockets in the tachrichim. We cannot take it with us.
July 7, 2021 9:29 am at 9:29 am in reply to: Universal Health care, Obamacare, Managed Care #1989179Reb EliezerParticipantIf is so bad. let us fix it but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. It is better than having nothing. When the Republicans eliminated the mandate, they killed the parents abd complained that they became an orphan. What happened with repeal and reolace?
July 6, 2021 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm in reply to: Universal Health care, Obamacare, Managed Care #1989065Reb EliezerParticipantSyag, why do people like it if it is so expensive?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Tzetil Katan says to change our nature.
July 6, 2021 9:18 pm at 9:18 pm in reply to: Universal Health care, Obamacare, Managed Care #1989051Reb EliezerParticipantIt is pushed because people can’t afford health care but you, who calls himself health, could not care less.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a website called dafyomi dot co dot il which has extra material to learn the daf.
Reb EliezerParticipantSorry, I massed up the name it should be Talmud Master rather than Master Talmud.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is help to understand the gemara called chavrusa.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere are computer programs gemara tutor and master talmud available at tes – jewishsoftware dot com. Gemara tutor teaches the idioms of the gemora to know how to set the words. Whereas, master talmud teaches the logic of the gemara recogniable by key words.
To learn aramaic. it is advisable to do weekky shenayim mikra v’echad targum, two times the pasuk and once the targum. For Rashi, hebrew is must be understood where the knowledge of the roots of the words is required. There is a book from Barons called 501 Hebrew Verbs.Reb EliezerParticipantIf they follow my suggestions and do not question their LOR, will have the blame on their head.
Reb EliezerParticipantI have the time. If I suggest a halacha to follow, you must validated with your LOR as circumstances not known by me determine halacha. Rebbi Moshe Feinstein ztz’l did not want his teshuvos translated for this reason.
Reb EliezerParticipantCS, I appreciate your confidence. I can suggest halachas to follow but I don’t have the broad shoulders to be responsible for CR peoples actions. I rather would nominate as his name indicates GH, Gadolhadorah.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis is what caused the prohlem for Rav Yakov Yosef ztz’l. It was not expressed clearly what is central responsibility and what is local, so the local rabbonim revolted as the civil war where the states revolted against the Federal government.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou can use an ATM card in another bank but they chatge a fee.
Reb EliezerParticipantI like dill dip.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe also find by amolek, zecher and zeicher.
Reb EliezerParticipantOtzros Hatorah does not have as many seforim and search facility is not as good.
Reb EliezerParticipantIYK, It has nothing to do with a spell checker as you once wrote Hashem correctly.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Jews are compared also to the moon that gets larger and than smaller. When the Jews do the will Hashem, they are like the stars but when not, they are like dust. Sometimes they are in between like kahochal hayom.
Reb EliezerParticipant5T look at the Klei Yakar Bereishis (13,13) on the comparison to kechal hayam.
Reb EliezerParticipantIYK, if you believe so strongly give the respect to Hashem that it deserves by using a capital letter.
Reb EliezerParticipantYosef said that pi hamedaber aleichem, belashan hakadash indicates my sanctity which I have not lost.
Yaakav Avinu said Galed and Lavan said Yegar Sahadusa in Aramaic.Reb EliezerParticipant5T, the above Maasei Hashem explains like the stars shine, so will his children call out and publicize to the whole world, yisparsem elokuso, Hashem’s G-dliness.
Reb EliezerParticipantShould be above 5T like the stars through the Torah.
Reb EliezerParticipantrational, it is a Midrash Tanchuma Parashas Pinchos (Warsaw) we leave the Sukkah Shemini Atzeres in order to daven with a full heart for rain.
July 2, 2021 10:37 am at 10:37 am in reply to: Dvar Torah Pinchas – Love Peace and Chase Peace #1988131Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the Chasam Sofer we fight the yetzer hara through rodef shalom, being against peace. The body and soul are constantly at odds but our job is bakesh shalom through veradfehu by creating a small conflict. Let tbe neshama do something that tthe body resists doing and then bakesh shalom, let the body get used to it and continue this process. This will bring spiritual improvements in small increments. This is the meaning of as Hashem creates peace in heavens should make peace on us, body and soul and on all Jews, Amen
Reb EliezerParticipant57, the Maasei Hashem says that is tbe meaning of Avraham Avinu being shown the stars to be a beacon to all the nations like the stars throgh the Torsh;
