    With can explain many things with E=mc2. Hashem create everything from energy as in string theory. His movement being everywhere greater than the speed of light where time stops. את הברכה אשר תשמעו we need that the condition be before action but by Hashem everything happens now.

    The whole thing does not apply. The Rambam paskens Hilchas Melochim (9,4):

    רמב”ם הלכות מלכים פרק ט הלכה ד
    בן נח שהרג נפש אפילו עובר במעי אמו נהרג עליו, וכן אם הרג טריפה או שכפתו ונתנו לפני הארי או שהניחו ברעב עד שמת, הואיל והמית מכל מקום נהרג, וכן אם הרג רודף שיכול להצילו באחד מאיבריו נהרג עליו, מה שאין כן בישראל. +/השגת הראב”ד/ וכן אם הרג רודף וכו’. א”א קשיא ליה אבנר, עכ”ל.+

    There is no such a thing as a rodaf by a goy.

    coffee addict, by a business there is an issur of maasei gevul. Putting a net out is a large catch applying to a business. However, by the talis it is not assur because of massei gevul but ani hamhapech bachararah which only applies with proper kinyonim and not intentions.

    The hint in Melachim is the GRA. kav = 106 and kavo with a ‘heh’ = 111, adjusting
    3(111) = 333/106 = 3.141509
    Maybe we can adjust it. There is a known value of PI accurate to 6 decimal places, 355/113=3.1415929.. By including the additional vov we have vekav = 112, vekavoh = 117
    3(117) = 351 add to it the number of letters of 4 = 355/113 adjusting the denominator by a kolel.

    Lakewhut, your logic is gavre dekatila kotla, but a rodaf is a protection to save a life, so he is not considered a katila.

    AAQ, What you are saying is a Perush Hamishnayus from the Rambam on the mishna in Eruvin. If the diameter is a tefach, the circumference is three tefochim. The Rambam explains that Pi is impossible to be known exactly, so the mishna took it as three, a round number, as the yam shel shelomo.

    To clarify, behind his back, judge him for the good but to admonish him personally, do not call him names as the Shlah Hakadash explains, do not admonish a joker because he might hate you but admonish a chacham and he will love you. When admonishing one, don’t call him a joker or a fool but tell him he is a chacham.

    You must be good in mathematics. A square of has for every 1 on the side 1 2/5 (square root of 2) in its diagonal. Tosfas in Sukkah (8,1), kol amseh, explains that it is inaccurate. 5 in the side would have 5 times the square root of two, 5 times 1 2/5, 7, according to the above, in its diagonal but the area of the inner square (rombus) of 5 times the square root of 2 is one half of 100 or 50 (the area of a half of square of 10) and not 7 squared 49.

    The Rav Abarbanel explains (the psychiatrist accept it also) lo siso alov chet, don’t label a person by name but question his behavior or actions. If you call him names placing the sin on him personally, you are taking away the ability from him to do teshuva. You can change your behavior or actions but not yourself. The Torah gives an advice how to avoid lashon hara by placing one next to another. If you judge a person for the good, you will not gossip about him.

    The problem with the daf yomi is this that much is learned but little is remembered. It has heen suggested to learn an amed yomi with the halachas on it, so a person will remember what he learned.
    If a person understands what he learned, he will remember it. Learning in a chavrusa with questions and answers should help to remember. Some websites provide questions and answers. Learning a sugya might also work. Currently repeating the same thing multiple times is not very interesting, so people will not do it.

    There is a Rabbenu Bachaya at the end of Parashas Ki Siso explaining the purpose of Torah Shebaal Peh with a parable. A king wrote a letter to his son commanding him with a process of behavior and the reward him for its performance. For fearing that the letter will fall in the wrong hands and requiring to fulfil the reward, some information he left out and transmitted orally. Originally Rebbi only wrote down what was necessary for the understanding as concise as possible. As the generations became weaker in their understanding, more elaboration was required. With this he explains the expression חסורא מחסרא והכי קתני the mishna left it out on purpose. The Ksav Sofer in Parashas Yisro from his father, the Chasam Sofer, has a different parable. A father had a gold mine and had multiple sons but he wanted that his youngest son should inherit it. In order not to create jealousy, he taught his youngest son the act of goldmining and divided it equally. As the others did not know what to do with it, it fell automatically to the youngest son. The Torah Shebeksav is a goldmine, the act of gold mining is the Torah Shebaal Peh and the youngest son are we the Bnei Yisroel. Hashem chose us by teaching us the Torah Shebaal Peh which is necessary to understand the Torah Shebeksav, the goldmine, letter interpreted orally.

    Without the Ketzos we interpret the Tosfas Rid that if is a chiyuv shebegufo, one wearing tefiin is a chiyuv on the body which does not turn into the other’s body but one can bind tefilin on the other’s hand.

    BTW, punishment for bad doing is not against liberalism. It is required by society to force proper behavior. I think conservatism, being selfish, is against the Torah. The government is there to provide a jump start for everyone.

    The Tosfas Rid wiith tbe help of the Ketzos explain the conditions for shlichas. It only appies where a massei,an action is involved but you can’t make a shliach to wear tefilin for you as the lying on the hand is the mitzva. So the fruits of the action transfers from one to an other.

    The whole thing is false. Liberalism believes, everyone should be treated equaly. When someone did not have the background and education by discrimination and allowance be made. The holy Torah is for equal treatment for everyone. A servant is provided a home and support. One who buys a jewish servant buys a master for himself. A non-jewish servant was converted. Sometimes we go overboard for equal treatment.

    I am retired on Social Security and did not get any extra money from tax cuts which just put us into a greater deficit and not growing the economy by providing more jobs.

Borders are not being opened up just the immigrants, being one of them, not dealt with cruely. Encourage adoptions, as I did, will cause less abortions and psycological rehabilitatuon for lgbtq behavior. Funding the palestinians is a means of making peace.
