Reb EliezerParticipant
Obviously above should be אלקים.
Reb EliezerParticipantLomdus, iin-depth, thorough analysis of a Torah topic on the Parasha of the week in English is at your fingertilps.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says זבחי אלגים רוח נשברה a true sacrifice is a broken spirit לב נשבר ונדכא אלקים לא תבזה a broken and humble heart Hashem does not foresake.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a cinnection between Pesach and Rosh Hashanah, teshuvah meahave, Pesach which is isaruse mileailo a wakeup from above, whereas Rosh Hashana, teshuva miyiroh whiich a isaruso miletato, wakeup from below. Rosh Hashanah we avoid eating nuts whereas Pesach it is a mitzva. Tbe remaz is the letters before שופר is קערה.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou don’t have to know Hebrew to appreciate Lomdus, indelving in fhe Torah in English.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is earlier minyan, so we eat liunch before chatzos being no problem.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere are two consideratiins here, an egg on the kaara is for chagigah mentioned in SA O’CH 473,4 and tbe MB s’k 22 there discusses the egg on motze sbabbos seder either we have one or twio tavshilin by not differentiating, lo palug. Eating eggs at the meal, is in the RMA in SA O’CH 477,2 because of Tisha Beov as a zecher, so women can also take part like everything else of tbe seder meal.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says in the Parasha of Vayikra אדם כי יקריב מכם קרבן it should have said כי יקריב אדם מכם קרבן this is telling us how to sacrifice a korban like Adam Harishan by sacrificing himself together with the sacrifice. The holy Alshich explains the meaning והבל הביא גם הוא Havel brought himself with the korban. The Ramban explains the meaning of a korban that a person should think that everything done to it should be done to him. The right thought is very important because the Rambam explains that by itself the bringing of a sacrifice is a barbaric act which was done to an a’z.
March 18, 2021 6:35 pm at 6:35 pm in reply to: Vayikra-Worth Its Salt:Lust and Glory Forbidden, Kinah Is Given A Place of Honor #1958675Reb EliezerParticipantThe famous statement interpretation of the Kli Yakar and others on בשמים ממעל ועל הארץ מתחת, when it comes to heavenly, spriritual things, you should look at people above yourself, to be envious of them and thereby try to follow them. Whereas, for earlthly, material things, look at people below you, to be satisfed for what you have by recognizing that others have less than what you have.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat is Chagigas Erev Pesach? The chiyuv is for being in Jerusalem for yom tov and done as early as possible.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe filibuster currently is obstruction and can be racist. It has to reformed to stand, speak and justify one’s point about the issue as it used to be otherwise it is invoked just for obstruction.
March 18, 2021 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm in reply to: Gebrok halacha? Liquids in Pesach Dip recipes (for matza) #1958587Reb EliezerParticipantAsk your LOR what is part of the custom as it is not a halacha.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Nodah Beyehuda’s YD (2,148) son differentiates between shituf and swearing. Shutaf for a non-jew is also assur but swearing is not. Tosfas in Tractate A’Z (2,1) says that we know for a fact that the akum don’t really worship the current a’z, so we can do business with them.
Reb EliezerParticipantSince that is no erva by men the question is there hirhur. Hair is assur because of hirhur. Erva is not related to being used to but hirhur is.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy prove was from rishonim quoted by the above Aruch Hashulchan that we follow the custom of the current behavior. We can make brachas with men wearing only undergarments because we are used to that. This answers the BaltimoreMaven question also but by women two wrongs don’t make a right.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a time of chagiga as Shevuos we say zman matan torasenu and not yom matan torasenu.
Reb EliezerParticipantTosfas says that christianity is not an a’z. They arej ust following their customs as the RMA O’CH 156 about having a partnershp with a goy.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Aruch Hashulchan O’CH 75, says that hair not covered by a woman does not prohibit davenen infront of it since this became a custom, there is no hirhur. The MB argues on this. Certainly currently boys are used to seeing each other like that.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe egg is eaten as a remaz for Tisho Beov falling on the same day. The Chasam Sofer explains the relationship. If they would not have been taken out of mitzraim before the four hundred years, no charban would have occured. The Jews are like eggs where the more they are cooked, the harder they become.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a concession here where they are willing to set aside their view for the greater good to make each other happy.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a comprimise as there is an agreement satisfying and making both sides happy and there is concessiion involved on both sides by willing to give up one’s fiew for something else.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy definition of a compromise is to do something where both sides are satisfied and happy with it without regard to any concessions which will create peace.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Mechaber SA YD 289,6 says place it vertically like Rashi and the RMA mentions the Rabbenu Taam’s view to place it horizontally and says that whoever wants to satisfy both views should place it slanted. I think this is a compromise satisfying both views. The husband and wife should do things they are both happy with. Whether a compromise is concession or not does not make a difference.
Reb EliezerParticipantYD, The RMA SA YD 289,6 says שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות מזוזה סימן רפט סעיף ו
והמדקדקין, יוצאין ידי שניהם, (ט) ומניחים אותה בשפוע ובאלכסון (טור והגהות מיימוני ומהרי”ל ות”ה סי’ נ”ב),
we satisfy both views. I think that is not avoiding but compromising.Reb EliezerParticipantThe proof is from RMA SA YD 289,6 who says that the שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות מזוזה סימן רפט סעיף ו
והמדקדקין, יוצאין ידי שניהם, (ט) ומניחים אותה בשפוע ובאלכסון (טור והגהות מיימוני ומהרי”ל ות”ה סי’ נ”ב),Reb EliezerParticipantWe pasken like the machria because he creates a compromise.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think if you do something according to everyone’s view is a compromise.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe compromise by picking a means that is good for everyone.
Reb EliezerParticipantDon’t Toi with me. Mi samcha leish? Who are you to tell me what to do when I believe I am right as mentioned on the other website and you have not convinced me otherwise. If one is wrong the other is right. If you are not saying both views are wrong, it is a compromise. Why don’t we follow the right view?
Reb EliezerParticipantIf someone is really sure about oneself, does not need to show off. If you are there, you don’t need to shout. It comes from an inferiority complex. If he does show off, he shows there is nothing there.
Reb EliezerParticipantGaiva brings one to worship a’z. He believes that Hashemi is not being mashgiach on us because of His
greatness, so he pushes Him out from earth to the heavens by being dochek raglei hashchina. He ends up worshipping the servants as by dor enosh. He believies the master is not around, so it says al ponai, I am everywhere. The Rabbenu Abarbanel explains, lo siso, don’t elevate Hashem falsely.Reb EliezerParticipantI would say that eminas chachomim originates from lo susur. Even if they tell you on the right left and vice verss as Yosef believed Yaakov Avinu did by the placement of his hands on his children. The Chasam Sofer considers Yitzchak Avinu’s test of the akedah greater than Avrohom Avinu’s as he was not directly commanded by Hashem as Avrohom Avinu was but only heared it from him.
Reb EliezerParticipantI follow the Chasam Sofer who says ashkenaz has the same kevonas but because the Arizal was a sefardi (argued above), he revealed the hidden secrets of the sefard davenen. I put on tefilin on chol hamoad (not Rabbenu Taam), eat gebroks, say maarovis, make yom kippur katan and put on a kittel on Rosh Hashanah. I take red radishes for karpas.
Reb EliezerParticipantToi, if one way is wrong the other way is right but we don’t do it either way but a third way to satisfy both. So we do something that both the husband and wife agree. Isn’t tbat a compromise?
Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the Chasam Sofer Shut O’CH 16-17,197, Meharam Shik Shut O’CH 43, Divrei Chaim above Shut O’CH (2,8) and Minachas Elozor Shut (1,11).
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Divrei Chaim above is Shut O’CH (2,8). He says if some does not know his soul’s roots, what shevat he comes from, should daven sefard.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf someone has stock in a chametzdig corporation, is that a problem on Pesach? He can have a part in tbe non chametzdig ownership of the corporation.
Reb EliezerParticipantThw Magen Avraham 68, says not to change minhagim in teflos as every shevat has its own gateway but according to the Divrei Chaim, sefard tefila is non denominational good for any shevat. The Pri Megadim says tbere not to switch one type of tefila to another but the Divrei Chaim says sefard not to ashkenaz but ashkenaz can be switched to sefard.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Arizal communicated with the Marshal both having the name Luria indicating that he is not from his family but Rav Chidah in Shem Hagdolim says that he was from his family indicating that he is also an ashkenaz whose rebbi was the Shutah Mekubetzes, Rebbi Betzalel Ashkenazi. The Chasam Sofer says that he revealed the kevonas in the sefard tefila as he was a sefaredi and he if would have been an ashkenazi, he would have done the same to the ashkanazic tefila.
March 13, 2021 7:49 pm at 7:49 pm in reply to: Making a Barocho on a Blossoming Tree in Nissan #1956779Reb EliezerParticipantMODS! Please move this topic to decaffeinated coffee!
Why are you yelling?
Reb EliezerParticipantI like Mitt Romney, John Kasic, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Chenney among Republicans.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt can reoccur that a wicked ruler forbids to practice yom tov, so tbe calculation for the molad will be forgotten.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe most important lesson can be learned when entering the house. There is an argument between Rashi and Tosfas whether to place the mezuza horizantialy or verticaly, so we place it slented teaching us tbe importance of compromise. Most shalom bayis problems can be solved by following it.
March 12, 2021 2:30 pm at 2:30 pm in reply to: Devar Torah Vayakhel – A Greater Catch: great Pshat #1956661Reb EliezerParticipantThe holy Zohar says that the six days gain strength from shabbos. The value of work done on the six days comes through shabbos. A person works but does not accomplish anything. The coming shabbos, as by creatiion, reflects back by streghtening tne previous six days and determines the work’s done value.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe find a similar idea in the placing of the mezuza. There is an argument between Rashi and Tosfas whether to place it horizantilly or verticaly, so we compromise and place it slented, satisfying both or neither.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is an argument when it comes to doing a mitzva, what is better, do it right away, zrizus or doing lt later in a nicer fashion, hiddur mitzva. It is interesting that the nesyim. leaders, where held responsible for waiting to contibute by seeing what is required because nothing might be required but maybe they could have added, if required, afterwards to their contribution. Also by a mitzva, if not you doing it then who except for contributions where others can precede you.
Reb EliezerParticipantAnonymous Jew, Tosfas in the beginning of Betza (6,1) questions this case if a chashosha is followed and the reason is gone whether to follow it further but sometimes like Yom Tov Sheni the reason can reoccur but over here, for those who followed it, tbe reason is still around. Overuse of an antibiotic is a problem by becoming immune to it.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen would the ashkenazim only make one bracha on tefillin? I think, if he makes two brachas my mistake on the Rabbenu Taam, then he should only make one bracha on Rashi’s tefillin.
Reb EliezerParticipantAnyway the Aruch Hashulchan says that Rashi’s is pasul according to the Rabbenu Taam and vice versa, so our Rabbenu Taam’s is pasul according to him. We are putting it on according to his view in the parshiyus but not according to all his views.
Reb EliezerParticipantObviously above should be, did Moshe Rabbenu wear two tefillins? I see that you say that the Rabbenu Taam’s tefillin is also written like that.
