Hilel wanted to arrive to tthe ruth, so they heard the arguing view first before deciding in order not stumble into tunnel vision.
There is a intersting pshat in the sefer Peninim Yekorim. Moshe Rabbenu was the shaliach as Avraham Avunu provided water to the malochim through a shaliach, so the Jews were also given water through a shaliach. Hoewer, shechina medabers mitoch gerono, the shechina spoke through his voice, so he was unable to speak and had to hit the rock. When he became angry at them. the shechina left and now he could have spoken himself.
Avi K, when the Jews were in bavel even some were in EY, they still were in galus. od akabetz alov lenikbatzav. Having a government which violates the Torah is galus. Your question is discussed in Yechaveh Daas (1,43) whether we should continue to say Nacbem. We are in galus until the Beis Hamikdash is rebuilt, sorry your view is zionist view. Most Jews in EY don’t keep the Torah and until tbey do, we are in galus.
Beis Hamidrash Govoah – BMG in Lakewood
The holy Ohr Hachaim enumerates 10 reasons for what Moshe Rabbenu did wrong. Rashi explains that he should have not hit the rock, but why the first time he was told to hit it?
The Daroshes HaRan explains that it is like disciplining a child who we hit the first time but the second time talk is enough and admonishment of showing the belt, stick is enough.
However, the Malbim differentiates between a tzur, first time, having no water, to a selah, second time, which contains water. The tzur had to be hit to provide from it water. A selah has to be emptied first from water by speaking to it and then hit to gain water from it. When it was hit first, no miracle happened just water in it came out. According to the Rav Aberbenel, Aaron by tbe eigel diminished tbe emunah of the Jews and Moshe Rabbenu by the meraglim, so they needed a means to restore it. So their sin was not the mei meriva but the previous incident.Why not learn SA (four sedorim) supplemented by the Rambam where there is none. The Rif and Rosh wrote no perush where there is no SA as hilchasa lemeshicha. Why learn the Rambam by itself?
I think Hillel gives us the purpose of life, im ein ani li, mi li, if I don’t do things for myself, who will and kesheani leatzmi mi ani, if I care only for myself, who am I? Improve yourself and then others. We are all together on a boat and if we bore a hole in it, everyone sinks, as the famous American saying, we all must hang together or we will hang separately.
You know that the Ravad used a very strong language against the Rambam by discouraging people from just learning it as they used to before the SA.
A yekke would write די ווארהייט
The Rambam should be learned as a supplement for SA for zeraim, kodoshim and teharos, zman naket, grab on to the time, six mishna sedorim.
What about Chess?
The Ramban explains why one living in CH’L is like worshipping a’z. There are 70 natuons. ruled by a malach who has the title elohim but Hashem who rules over EY is elokei hoelohim, rules over them. If a person prays to these intermeadiaries, is worshipping a’z. einei Hashem elokecha bo.
ujm, irregardless is a double negative. Should be regardless.
The pain for sins is derived for a kol vechomer from a non-jewish servant being freed with the loss of tooth or eye. It is also derived from the fact that salt softens meat, so does pain over sins. In the first case a lot of pain must be tolerated but when compared to salt, to much salt destroys the meat. Similarly to much pain destroys. That is the meaning in mitzraim, voezkor es brisi, the covenant of salt. They have suffered already too much. so it is time for the redemption.
This would explain how shabbos gives the strength of the previous six days of the week. They are against the six thousand years of the world. The first two tohu, desert, without Torah. The second two, Torah and the last two, limos hamoshich. Similarly shabbos evening is davened for shabbos of creation, the morning kabolas Hatorah and mincha for yom shekula shabbos. The kedusha increases as shabbos passes by, called kedusha rabba as explained by the Chasam Sofer.
Korach figured that Shmuel Hanovi descended from him, so he must be worthy of leadership. The Kol Aryeh explains that his mapolah, an enjoyment, beavod reshaim rinah, created the zechus of Shmuel Hanovi. He saw tzadik katamar yifrach, ending with the letters Korach. Korach says, kol haedah kulom kedashim, the whole nation are all holy, they all heard the aseres hadibros at har sinai. So hen is negating the excuse that lo yihye lecha was only said to Mosbe Rabbenu. so they were all sinners including Aaron Hakohen but he, as a levi, did not sin.
The Haflah explains that by kabolas hatorah they wanted to make day night. Hashem was waiting for them at alos hashachar and they said that morning for them starts, kodem kabolas hatorah, at netz hachama as a goy whereas for the Jews (at least bediaved. not by Hashem who knows the exact time) starts at alos hashachar.

It is an argument between the chasiddish and litvish yeshivas. I went to the Wiener camp where we had to get up 5:30 every weekday morning to learn when the mind is clear and not at night.
Early to bed early to rise makes the person healthy. wealthy and wise.CTLAWYER, How do they validate the affidavits, if not by signature?
They have a signature on file for a citizen which is being compared when he signs to vote. Maybe software should be ised for signature recognition called pattern matching.
The differnce is that ssy it is not a hefsek being part of teflla whereas gold rings is not parr of the lulav.
Whether it is a hefsek, see Shaar Ephraim, 13 and for the understanding of yotzros see Teshuva Meahava (1,1) and Chavas Yair 238.
I meant depoisting a check by using signature recognitiion rather than actually cashing.
Because there is an age requirement to buy does things. Currently we vote through signature recognition.
DY, he means to say that it beautifies the tefila like cufflings on a shirt or icing on a caks which should not be a hefsek.
Maybe it is the right that is destroying deoocracy by limiting peooles ability to vote? I can cash a check without an ID but voting will require one.
See SA O’CH 68 about piyutim and whether it is a hefsek. By rrachos of krias shema there is more a consensus by the Tur that it is. See the Bach whwhose view is that it is not.
Children see how their fathers behave to follow them as mentioned above, so it has to be seen by them.
In the Otzar Midrashim from Eisenstein we find under Shimon Kefa (St. Peter) was a double agent like Calev above who made it look originally that he was with Yoshka ym’s to get the Jews to follow him and then was able to encourage them from following the notzrim ym’s. He built a tower to separate himself from the group and ionly appeared once a year.
It says by Yosef, vayhi kadibra eilov yom yom, velo shoma eleha. as the wife of Potifar spoke to him day hy day, Yosef diid not llsten to her. Explains the Chasan Sofer, it is like the yetzer hara who has nothing good to sell. so it talks much but the yetzer tov does not need to speak much as it has good merchandise. When a car salesman talls much, be careful.
Get a mechanic to look under the hood when buying a used car.
This is similar by the chassidim when getting up, making a big noise so the children see it. However, by the yekkes iit s done quitely in order not to wake up everyone. I saw from my father a certain behavior thereby I followed it. I say maarovis for myself and the children don’t see that. No nut throwing on Shemini Atzerees. The litvishe don’t say any yotzros on the four parshiyus.
When sending invitations, invite the yekkes on time and the chassdiim for an hour earlier.
They don’t say maarovis according minhag HaGra.
In Staten Aguda we daven ashkenaz and have a separate chol hamoad tefilin section in the weiber shul as dictared by Reb Moshe ztlz’l. On Purim we say Kerovatz Lapurim.
What about tne Debretziner, not being oberland, but having oberlandisher minhagim?
Rashi says by Yisro, ma shemuah shoma, wossere ‘herring’ hat er gehert? What kind of hearing (news) did he hear?
I follow the Oberlandish minhag on my own by saying marovis on Yom Tov which is not said if falling on shabbos in order not to make the candles burn better when one cannot see the text.
When starting to say vesein tal umotor, the yekke says to his wife, I am comming home late tonight.
They would have nut throwing on Shemini Atzeres
CTLAWYER, did you get married with the chasan and kallah covered with a talis?
Ted Cruz originally was against Trump and then he became his advocate as well as Lindsey Graham.
We are Oberlander and my father sang ledovid boruch motzei shabbos.
The MB explains that not wearing a talis is not right based on the above semicha, so it could be that the yekkes use it for a chasan and kallah and not for a bachur.
The Yekkes also cover the Chasan and Kallah in a talis based on the semicha of gedilim taaseh lecha followed by ki yikach ish isha.
