    It is unclear. Is the Rabbenu Taam’s tefillin also written with מי עפצים?

    The 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.

    The 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.

    Eating or not eating gebroks says the Sharei Teshuva ועמך כולם צדיקים, they are both rightous, when done for the right reason.

    DY, 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.

    For 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.

    To answer the OP’s question, according to this 1 trillion is 10 billion 100’s = 174,672 egg boxes of 100’s.

    A 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 required

    The 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 Spending

    The Trump tax cuts should be repealed somewhat to pay for the COVID relief.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.

    The 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.

    People 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.

    George 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.

    Someone 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.

    Supply 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.

    AAQ, 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.

    It 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.

    We 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.

    The 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.
