Reb EliezerParticipant
אל מול פני המנורה יאירו שבעת הנרות explains the Chasan Sofer that the center is the Rebbi that the talmidim look to, seeing him as heavenly angel. so he stays humble by recognizing that his strength comes from the takmidim and the talmidim rely on the rebbi.
May 28, 2021 2:58 pm at 2:58 pm in reply to: Aaron Keyak, Water Carrier for Biden says Jews, Take off your Kippahur #1978518Reb EliezerParticipantLet’s wear a hat. The Magen Avraham says that one can hide the tzitzis in the kanfus when walking among goyim. Leider it is a pikuach nefesh.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou know the story of the Shlumiel and Shlomazel. One pours soup on another. The one who pours is the Shlumiel and the one who gets poured on is the Shlomazel.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey become a mohel but upset afterwards for not getting severance pay.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhere do we find that you are not allowed to prepare things on a weekday for another weekday? Everyone knows that you are preparing for the day that you can write.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvi K,

צריך להפסיק בין נשבע לה’, כדי להטעים יפה העי”ן יח’] שלא תהא נראית כה”א.What does it mean lehatim hoayin? To pull the ayin like nishbaa.
Reb EliezerParticipantReagon increased the deficit tremendously.
Reb EliezerParticipantMore than one individual. They are being trained in a ‘missionary shul center’.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy son named his son after a beloved passed on friend Aryeh, Ari.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a difference in the pronounciatuon of an aleph and an ayin. The aleph is short whereas the ayin is long. So the nun was added in the extension of the pronounciation. Also yaan kel, the answering of Hashem is included.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis is a great problem which needs prevention:

They made themselves tuma, even though they were tahor, that future genrations who are tuma wil make themselves tahor. Letamei tehorim in order to be metaher temeim.
May 27, 2021 10:42 am at 10:42 am in reply to: Dvar Torah Behaaloscha — Cover-Ups, Caravans, and Connection #1978049Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe there is a public remembrance of the Aigal by having to postpone the Korban Pesach because of tuma and cleansing with the parah aduma, red heifer which is a kapara, forgiveness for it. The zechirah of it is hidden as above. The Klei Yakar explains the contradictory nature of the Parah Aduma. The Parah Aduma consists of two entities, one tuma and one tahor. It had tbe ashes which is tuma and the well water which is tahor. Now, oppsites react, so when placing on a tuma person, the water would react and make him tahor whereas when placed on a tahor person, the ashes will react and make him tuma.
May 27, 2021 9:47 am at 9:47 am in reply to: Dvar Torah Behaaloscha — Cover-Ups, Caravans, and Connection #1978021Reb EliezerParticipantWe do remember them privately. The Magen Avraham above in the beginning SA O’CH (60,2), says that we should remember the six zechiros by krias shema. When we say uvono vocharto, You have chosen us, kabolas hatorah, vekeravtinu leshimcha hagodal. where Hashem’s name will be complete, amolek. We should keep in mind by Lehodos lecha, praise only You through our speech, the using of our speech properly. Miryam. Remember, uleyachedcha beahava. the need to recognize Your uniqeness with love, not like the Jews in the midbar who angered Hashem. Remember at uzchartem es kol mitzvos, shabbos which comprises all mitzvos and asher hotzesi eschem me’eretz mitzraim, yetsias mitzraim. When saying krias shma, we should drop the talis from our shoulders.
Reb EliezerParticipantSeparation of religion and state is maybe the most important law on our books to protect our religion.
Reb EliezerParticipantDinei demalchusei dinei.

Reb EliezerParticipantWhere did Trump condemn White Supremacists?
Reb EliezerParticipantPresident Biden condemns openly anti-semitism and not Trump.
May 24, 2021 2:23 pm at 2:23 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Nasso – Recognizing and Connecting to the Source #1976917Reb EliezerParticipantNow, let us try to explain it. When a person is blessed with wealth, harm can come to him either physically or spiritually. The wealth can be stolen from him. It can also bring to spiritual degradation by forgetting who bestowed the wealth him. vayishman yeshurun vayivot, a cow when it becomes fat throws over the milk. The wealth can also cause a kitrug above, arguing that he is not worthy of it.
The Chasam Sofer explains the meaning of being mechadash betorah. There are hidden secrets in the Torah that one is helped to reveal. This can contribute to gaiva, so he needs a blessing to realize that the more a person learns the more there is to be learned like an astronaut realizes that there is more to conquer and thereby bring to humility and the mutual liking of each other.
Finally, we must pray for the continuation of these blessings which should not cause discord but peace.May 24, 2021 12:16 pm at 12:16 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Nasso – Recognizing and Connecting to the Source #1976868Reb EliezerParticipantThank you por for the Targum Yonasan. I think he says, Hashem will bless you in all your endeavors, protect you from all who can cause harm to you. He will enlighten you in the Torah to come to realize the hidden, you will be liked by people. Hashem will listen to your tefilos and grant you peace in all you do.
May 21, 2021 7:20 pm at 7:20 pm in reply to: Biden tries to claim credit for cease-fire between Israel and Hamas #1976087Reb EliezerParticipantBiden gives credit to his team for negotiating.
Reb EliezerParticipantLook up the Meshech Chachma in Parashas Bechukosai on Veaf Gam Zos where we forget that we are in galus and think Berlin is Jerusalem, Hashem makes us remember it.
May 21, 2021 5:44 pm at 5:44 pm in reply to: Biden tries to claim credit for cease-fire between Israel and Hamas #1976062Reb EliezerParticipantThe Biden diplomacy was through the allies to both sides behind the scene as President Theodore Rolsevelt said, speak softly and carry a big stick.
May 21, 2021 10:44 am at 10:44 am in reply to: Market for Jewish Books: Substance vs. Fluff #1975961Reb EliezerParticipantdovrosebbaum, I think you mean Shev Shematisa from the Ketzos.
Reb EliezerParticipantGet the book 501 Hebrew Verbs which teaches the roots with examples and use the existing translated hebrew seforim to learn hebrew so you can learn the original and to learn aramaic. do shenayum mikra vechad targum, repeat the parasha two times and once the targum.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Torah is compared to water which is available for free and flows from high to low to those who are humble. Emes mearetz titzmach, the truth grows from the ground, for those who lower themselves to the ground. So why don’t people find it? Said the Baal Shem Tov because keiner will sich nisht einbeigen, no one wants to bend down.
Reb EliezerParticipantArtscroll has the Ohr Hachaim and Daroshes Haran first volume, translated into English.
May 20, 2021 12:37 am at 12:37 am in reply to: CNN Contributer Tweets: “The world today needs a Hitler.” #1975386Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t like generalizing as Hitler generalized. All Democrats are not bad as all Republicans are not bad.
May 19, 2021 10:38 pm at 10:38 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Nasso – Recognizing and Connecting to the Source #1975388Reb EliezerParticipantWe pray in birchas kohanim to nullify the bad dreams. The Taamei Haminhagim explains that a dream is 1/60 of kedusha and kohen at duchenen is all holy, so we are nullifying it in sixty.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe as more people are vaccinated, the risk of getting sick diminishes and less restrictions are required. Meno, as safek pekuach nefesh pushes off shabbos, you don’t do any favor to anyone with this thread by discouraging vaccination.
May 19, 2021 5:49 pm at 5:49 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Nasso – Recognizing and Connecting to the Source #1975340Reb EliezerParticipantThe Binah Leitim relates all parshiyos in Nasso to avoid gaiva that can result from different reasons such that birchas kohanim covers all. See https://hebrewbooks.org/41387
Reb EliezerParticipantThey want to make peace, so they don’t want to disturb the two state solution, and they are not against Israel. America, excluding Casper Weinberger, was always with its ally Israel.
Reb EliezerParticipantMods, pass on our complains to your programmers.
May 19, 2021 5:48 pm at 5:48 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Nasso – Recognizing and Connecting to the Source #1975336Reb EliezerParticipantTeshuva’s Harashba exolains that the beginning of a every brocho, the what, is nochach, direct in the second person and rest is nistor, hidden in the third person as the how, the object we thank for is not known.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a story in tractate Shabbos about a man who did not have anyone to nurse a baby and a miracle happened to be able to nurse. There are two views there. One says how great he is but the other says how demeaning it is that the normal nature was changed as menakin lo mizochiyosov, his good deed will be diminished, so if there are no good deeds to be worthy, it will not happen.
Reb EliezerParticipantII am an Oberlander from Sopron. My wife a’h nee Samuel (passed away 11 years ago) was from Debrecen. I learned in Yiddish in Wiener and Chasan Sofer.
Reb EliezerParticipantlakewhut your comments don’t belong here and I don’t give a hoot of what you say.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat you are saying is a kefira. As long as there is no Beis Hamikdash and the coming of Meshiach we are in galus and we say nachem on Tisha Beav. The Jews have to pray to Hashem more fervently in Israel as they are in the palace of the King requiring special behavior which is hard to do.
Reb EliezerParticipantefshar azoi, the Torah was around before the creation of the world as a blue print, so how could the aleph beis been created at the creation?
Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the goyim, nice guys don’t step on others toes to finish first, so they finish last. Finish first is not so obvious.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Yidden pick words up from nationalties where they reside and is incorporated in their Yiddish there, so Hungarian Yiddish, a German dialect, is not the same as Polish Yiddish as chalopches, geschtopte kraute or pechah, kocsonya in Hungarian.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe he means. hamaschil bemitzva omrim lo gemor, as it says, kol hamitzva, indicating that by mitzvos he should finish himself.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy pshat is on sheminis shebeshminis is the mishna in the sixth perek of Avos in 8th mishna there are eight words, hanoh, vekoach, vekakovad etc. according to the Binah Leitim are the main cause of gaiva, so we have to conrol these qualities as Rebbi and his children.
Reb EliezerParticipantExplains the Olalos Ephraim (Klei Yakar) that Moshe Rabbenu was humble to go to Mitzraim, saying mi anochi, so Hashem said to him, that is why I chose you in the first place as will give the Torah on Har Sinai because of its humility.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rabbenu Bachaya points out when we take each of the first letters of tbe names of the shevotim and multiply them individualy by 1000 as Ruevain, 200,000, Shimon, 300,000 and so on. We leave out Levi and use Yosef, so when we add them all together, the sum is 597,000, 3000 who died by the aigal, missing from 600,000.
Reb EliezerParticipantRosh Chodash was given to the women as a reward because when it came to Aigel they were forced to contribute whereas by the Mishkan they were first to contribute. The Aigal emphasizes outside influence whereas Rosh Chodash, reflects the hashgacha and renewal by Hashem as well as the mishkan, Hashem’s closeness to us.
Reb EliezerParticipantNice guys finish last because they help others to finish first.
May 13, 2021 3:58 pm at 3:58 pm in reply to: why should i take the the vacccine if i had the virus already ? #1974269Reb EliezerParticipantGood News! The CDC just relaxed the requirement of mask wearing and distancing, outdoors and indors for fully vaccinated people after 2 weeks as the risk of getting and giving the COVID virus is small. This is an incentive to get fully vaccinated.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou have been constanty complaining that Joe and Nancy are supporting the Arabs, so now you take for granted tbat they do not and don’t have the OP question.
