Reb EliezerParticipant
My pshat is in the 6th Perek of Avos the 8th mishna has eight words, hano,hakoach, vehakovad etc which is teaching us the importance of humility, to know how to use these properly as explained by the Binah Leitim.

May 12, 2021 9:50 pm at 9:50 pm in reply to: why should i take the the vacccine if i had the virus already ? #1973990Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, look at the Ramban in Parashas Bechukosai on voolech eschem komimyus who says, even though Hashem commanded a doctor to cure us, we should avoid going to him. This needs an explanation. Normally we have to go to a doctor but there will be a time when we will be on high level trusting Hashem and being tested through yesurim shel ahava. In that case, we should take it in stride and rely on Hashem, who gave it will also take it away. In the Haggada we don’t find directly Moshe Rabbenu mentiioned as we don’t praise a doctor’s tool, so Moshe Rabbenu was Hashem’s tool, so is a dodtor. We have to daven to Hashem to provide the strength and abilities to the doctor to heal us.

Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, the Beis Shamai said to accept everyone with a pleasant disposition. We pasken like the Beis Hilel because they wanted to arrive to the truth by hearing the Beis Shamai’s view first. The baas kol said to follow them even though the Beis Shamai was sharper as the pasuk indicates majority in quantity and not quality. The Ran explains that we have to undestand currently a view we follow with human understanding and Rebbi Eliezer was not understood and so the Beis Shamai. When meshiach will come, we will have a new understanding, so we will pasken like the Beis Shamai as the majority will come to understand their view and accept their view. According to you why pasken then like the Beis Shamai?

He might feel as a rebbi, mitalmidai yoser mikulom, you gain from students more than the teachers. also beholden.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe go by majority and an accepted fact by the majority is the truth which the minority must disprove. We pasken like the Beis Hilel being in majority.

Reb EliezerParticipantThe Magen Avraham had foresight when he paskened not to mqke a difference between shabbos and Yom Tov in the view of the Sma’s wife who recommended that Yom Tov women should say the brocho before lighting candles.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Anaf Yosef says that there is no reason as parah adumah but maybe the parah adumah cleanses, so the tzadikim also cleanse us by learning from them how to behave but if we don’t learn from them, what is the use?

Vashti did not come, saying that you were a horse trainer to my father and you could not even afford wine whereas myself was a queen before you married me as my father was a king.

https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1971612/republicans-promote-pandemic-relief-they-voted-against.html.Reb EliezerParticipantIf it makes the people visited feel good, I don’t think it matters. We have to judge according to the background of the individual. דברים שבלב אינן דברים, מעשה מוצא מידי מחשבה acttons are more important than what his inner thougts are.

Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rambam’s view is that teshuva is not the mitzva but viduy as you cannot tell a person to do teshuva if one does not realize that a mistake was made. However. once teshuva is done, a new person is born on whom the kelolas don’t apply.

May 6, 2021 12:20 am at 12:20 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond:Behar — Of Contracts, Crowns, and Kings #1971382Reb EliezerParticipantחרות על הלחות – אל תקרא חרות אלא חרות etched into the luchos with a ‘o’ under the ches, should be read as freedom with a ‘ei’ under the ches, A person is realy free from everyone if he keeps the Torah. Hashem freed us from the servitude of Pharaoh when we accepted the Torah. The contract with which Hashem sanctified us is the Torah as the Baal Haturim says that we were sanctified by all three means, kesef, the booty from Mitzraim and the Yam. contract, Torah, biah, the mishkan. Spiritualy we are free from all kings by only serving Hashem but physicaly we become free only when Meshiach comes. hashteh nami avdei deachashveros anan.

Reb EliezerParticipantRBZS. I think you mean bereaved.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf the tzadik admonishes others, no, but if he is a tzadik in pelz, fur coat, for himself, he is taken away. Tzadik spreads around his rightousness as the letters indicate. tzafon, darom, yama, kedma – north, south, west and east.
