Reb EliezerParticipant
It is unclear. Is the Rabbenu Taam’s tefillin also written with מי עפצים?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe teretz is that we only follow the Rabbenu Tam in the parshiyus. Did Moshe Rabbenu wear to tefillin?
The Aruch Hashulchan (34,9) says that both shitus are true. The Rabbenu Tam is havoyas b’emtza is for the next world and Rashi’s is for this world.Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chavas Yair 126 questions, whether children must follow the chumras of the father and he says no but the question is if this is more than that. Many have the custom not to eat gebroks, so it is a Jewish minhag. According to the Sharei Teshuva above, if they truly want to satisfy simchas yom tov feeling that they miss the real enjoyment for yom tov, I would say that they can be matir neder and change. It is recommended to ask your LOR. People put in on Tefilin on Chal Hamoad tend to eat gebroks. This does not apply to kitniyas, even though the Chacham Tzvi was saying that if he had the ability, he would have been matir questioning that it might bring to making more matzas and the relaxation of the protection against chametz.
Reb EliezerParticipantEating or not eating gebroks says the Sharei Teshuva ועמך כולם צדיקים, they are both rightous, when done for the right reason.
Reb EliezerParticipantשערי תשובה סימן תס ס’ק י
וממה דכתיבנא מבואר דבין המחמירין ובין המקילין אלו ואלו עושים כוונים לשמים אילו דעתם לפרוש משימצא דשימצא חימצא ובר חימצא בכדי להזהר מחמץ כל שהוא בכל חומר האפשר, ואלו משום מניעת שמחת יום טוב שלא ערב להם לחם מצה חריבה ובפרט למי
שקשה לו הלעיסה ויש שמחמירין ביותר שאין אוכלים מצה כלל אחר ליל הראשון רק אוכלים למעדנים מיני תבשילין והרבה נמנעים
oלעשות כן משום שמחת יום טוב כי פתא סעדא דלבא ועל אילו ועל אילו שלבם לשמים קורא אני ועמך כולם צדיקיReb EliezerParticipantDY, kitniyas for the askanezim is an issur even on the last day whereas gebroks is mutar in order to show according to the Rav Chidah that it is only a chumra. A potato cholent is very good.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is also unhealthy. Having pure egg noodles in the soup does not help to fight cholesterol.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe white nationalist are encouraged in their anti-semitism by Trump not ckearly condemning their behavior, inciting their insurrection on the Capitol and has nothing to do with his grandchildren and Israel.
Reb EliezerParticipantFor kitniyos there is a good substitute, potatoes whereas the home made egg noodles in the soup are no good. The Chayei Adam wanted to asser potatoes, so he was told, you are taking away people’s chayei adam.
Reb EliezerParticipantHe will speak out against anti-semitism not like Trump who made it look like he encourages it.
Reb EliezerParticipantPeople used to eating knaidlach without it is a empty chicken soup lacking simchas yom tov similarly kitniyas to the sefardim.
Reb EliezerParticipantPeople hate Trump because of his actions. He was down playing the pandenic and thereby destroyed the economy. By giving the impression tbat he is for white supremacist, he was
encouraging them.Reb EliezerParticipantThe stimulus will jump start the economy by investing in capital enhancements thereby creating more jobs and increasing the number of tax payers and paying off tbe increase in the deficit.
Reb EliezerParticipantStimulus ready to be signed by President Biden a G-d sent for Pesach.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe can discuss more the consideration for simchas yom tov in eating gebroks.
Reb EliezerParticipantTo answer the OP’s question, according to this 1 trillion is 10 billion 100’s = 174,672 egg boxes of 100’s.
Reb EliezerParticipantA egg box dimension is 24” x 12” x 13.75” = 3960 cu in = 3960 / 1728 (12x12x12) = 2.29 cu ft
2.29 x 25,000 = 57,250 100’s per box
19 billion – 19,000,000,000 / 57,250 = 331,878 boxes requiredReb EliezerParticipantThe rich use more government infrastructure, so they need to pay more taxes.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe rich do not grow the economy, if they don’t do capital investment to provide jobs. The multiplying effect has to take over. How many yachts, airplanes, cars and houses, not consumed, can one need? Consumption comes from the middle class and the poor, if provided money.
Economy = Consumption plus Investment plus Government SpendingReb EliezerParticipantAAQ, You have not answered the question, how many boxes? How much does one box weigh full of 100’s?
Reb EliezerParticipantParticipant, what are the poor going to gain by getting devalued money because of inflation who don’t pay taxes as they have no jobs?
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, answering the number of hundreds is 19 billion = 19,000 million but you must answer how many 100’s fit in an egg box.
Reb EliezerParticipantShould be above 1.9 x 10 to the 12th power
Reb EliezerParticipant1.9 trillion – 1900 billion – million 900 thousand million = 1,900,000,000,000 =
1.9 x 10 to 11th powerReb EliezerParticipantFind seforim you are both interested like an Kehati Mishnayos or Artscroll and Gemora, Parasha of the Week, Orchos Tzadikim, Sefer Hachinuch or Kitzur Shulchan Aruch and learn it together.
Reb EliezerParticipantFind a sefer you are both interested like an Kehati Mishnayos or Artscroll and Gemora, Parasha of the Week, Orchos Tzadikim, Sefer Hachinuch or Kitzur Shulchan Aruch and learn it together.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Trump tax cuts should be repealed somewhat to pay for the COVID relief. It did not affect the economy to invest in capital enhancements by increasing jobs but used for stock buy back.
Reb EliezerParticipantA kosher movie named Arranged involves an arab girl who makes a shidduch for a religious orthodox jewish girl.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe shidduch comes in an unexpected way as krias yam suf, the spitting if the sea, was not expected. My shidduch came through a plumber who worked by both of our families. My wife a’h and myself together made a shidduch.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer needs some explanation. If he takes something out unintentionally, he is a misasek as asked by the Magen Avraham. What he answers about muktza is also a problem if one changes clothing for shabbos. The answer is as stated above tbat we wear it for a weekday simcha or wearing it for yom tov and we find something in the pocket when outside, so now he is not a misasek.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy did no one question the Trump tax cuts for the rich which increased the deficit tremendously?
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy did no one questioned the Trump tax cuts for the rich which increased the deficit tremendously?
Reb EliezerParticipantPeople stand in line for food as they are still millions on unemployment causes economizing where possible and diminish demand for appliances by paying to fix tbem rather than buy new. States collect less tax money. Small businesses have gone bankrupt. Schools cannot open up without renovation. Vaccine distribution costs money.
Reb EliezerParticipantGeorge H W Bush called it voodoo economics advocated by Reagan. By reducing government spending we are suppose to reduce taxes and supply is suppose to drive demand but if there is no money in the hands of people, demand will not increase. The National Debt increased tremendously under Reagan as the government expenses exceeded the government income.
Reb EliezerParticipantSomeone put on his shabbos clothing on a week day and wanted to see if he feels the taste of shabbos. I will try to prove it. Shabbos has a taste of olam habo. Vayerach es reach begodov, Yitzchok Avinu felt the taste of Gan Eden from Yaakov’s clothing which came from Nimrod who got it from Adam Harishan.
Reb EliezerParticipantSupply without demand to match will cause deflation and demand without supply will cause inflation. So we want to increase demand by giving money to people to increase consumption for the existing supply and encourage capital investment to create more jobs by increasing demand and supply accordingly.
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, You cannot print money if there is no supply because that will cause inflation but supply is driven by demand. If demand increases, consumption increases and that will be an incentive to invest and supply will increase which will create jobs and increase demand and so on. So you need to jump start the economy by increasing demand.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is stimulus. By putting money into people’s pocket, demand increases and the economy grows by Keynesian Theory and not like Milton Friedman, who makes you believe that supply increase generates the economy which there is no incentive for. If no increase in demand, there is no incentive to increase supply. The depression occurred because of overproduction which could not be sold.
Reb EliezerParticipantYes, Trump wanted to look good by suggesting the idea of $2000 payment with conditions of investigating voter fraud and provide liability protection for big tech companies that he knew the Democrats will not agree to.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says ‘דע מה למעלה ‘ממך – you should realize the judgement above from מדה כנגד מדה. The Daroshas HaRan says it reflects on the hashgacha. Mishna Sotah (1,7). The Baal Shem Tov says Hashem Tzilcha , Hashem is like a shadow, reflecting back your actions.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe problem is that even though you don’t know who it is but others might know.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe find the the Hagadah no difference between the chacham and the rasha both using expressions which exclude themelves why? The Chasan Sofer explains the chacbam does this on purpose in order the rasha should reveal itself by thinking the chacham is also a rasha. So the rasha says you are rasha and exclude yourself, I am also a rasha. Trump by not standing up at Chalottesville gave tbe impession that he is also a white supremacist.
Reb EliezerParticipantThose who eat machine matzos, see why 18 minute matzos should be used
Reb EliezerParticipantThe above tries to explain why David Hamelech instituded the brachas on everyone.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rabbenu Bachya there explains that by counting we separate the good and the bad but together we are all good. People are bad mainly because of gaiva, where they think that everything given to them they deserve. Saying a hundred brachas a day recognizes that everything comes from Hashem as a Matnas Chinom. It says in SA O’CH 98,5 that a person should not be thinking that he davened well and therefore he is deserving to be answered because that creates a scrutiny of his actions being judged in a harsher way.
David Hamelech said to Shaul that Hashem got you to sin by creating the yetzer hara. Therefore, counting through machtzis hashekel unites the Jews, as we need two half shekolim to make one, so it fights the effect of the yetzer hara. No sin is recognized when we are in unity but unity is broken up through gaiva. David Hamelech miscalculated figuring that the Machtzis Hashekel is a temporary foregiveness on the sin of the Eigel and just required for the building of the mishkan but it is required whenever we count the Jews. Also, the machtzis hashekel was even more required as the count was made with no purpose, so the mashchis took over without seeing good or bad but the bad, somewhat, got converted to good by the uttering of hundred brachas everyday recognizing that everything comes from Hashem as stated above making gaiva disappear but without it, gaiva would break up unity and the theme of the machtzis hashekel will not help.Reb EliezerParticipantWhether we need hand matzos
see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/hand-matzos-vs-machine-matzosMarch 4, 2021 3:04 pm at 3:04 pm in reply to: Nadler comments in Congress (Here we go again…) #1954140Reb EliezerParticipantThe separation of religion and state is maybe the most important law in the US as it protects religion from any instituted state or central laws.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is not correct above. US is .15% and Israel is .06%, so US is 2 1/2 times that of Israel.
Reb EliezerParticipantIsrael is .15% whereas US is .6% four times as much.
Reb EliezerParticipantMadeAliyah, see how limited it is in Israel 5815 out of 9 million – .06%? Trump could have been more careful such that less people died. Israel did not down play the effect whereas Trump did.
US 520,000 out of 330,000,000 – 15% -
