    nishtdayngesheft,
    “ It is a greater mitzva to teach someone how to fish than give him a fish. ”

    Quotes with poor people and fish come from a very different religion.

    If not in this terms but teaching a parnasa is a halacha, Rambam Hilchas Matnas Aniyim (10,7), Yesh Chachma Bagoyim. GIVE A MAN a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for his life time. — Italian proverb.

    I adopted a converted boy from Columbia who is around 37 years old at six months old currently having three children. Also, a coverted girl of Italian origin as a baby born in NY who is 34 years old having a boy and a girl. Abortion is considered murder for non-Jews. For Jews, viabilify is from birth as mentioned by the Rabbenu Chezkinu in Parashas Mishpatim where money is paid for damages. What about 500,000 dead through Coronavirus and peoole starving from hunger which can be attributed to Trump?

    er, I agree, if we openly discriminate against a group, we create reasons to be discriminated. In galus, the Klei Yokor says on פנו לכם צפונה in Parashas Devorim, we must be hidden.

    Instead of abortions let them bring it to term and give it up for adoption. They can even make money on it. I have two converted from birth adopted children now married with their children.

    It is a greater mitzva to teach someone how to fish than give him a fish. People need job training which is more supported by Democrats and not like Reagan who eliminated the CETA program, otherwise people are on their own to sink or swim.

    They care about big tax cuts for the rich and the poor can starve. The deficit was no problem for the tax cuts for big corporations. It was not invested in capital enhancement in order to create jobs but was used for stock buy back.

    I think socialism applies to Torah values. Government is there to support peoples needs and not the sink and swim attitude of tbe Republicans where they only care for themselves. Why should I give charity, let others do it.

    The Midrash Shmuel on Pirkei Avos on איזהו דרך ישרה says that ben adam lechavero comes before ben adam laMakom. The democrats care for the poor not like Desantos who only
    vaccinates the rich.

    The best thing is a chasiddishe litvak where he has the hislahavus of a chasid and the brisker learning of a litvak, so he will appeciate both. The chasiddim should respect each other’s type of chassidus.

    Everyone serves Hashem with his abilities, some cold, some warm, through one’s natural tendencies and it does not make a difference how, so there is no reason to hate each other.

    AAQ, my answer is based on a midrash: ויאמינו בה’ ובמשה עבדו – אם במשה האמינו בה’ לא כל שכן – אם כן למה מאמר במשה should have said ‘למה נאמר בה but it could be that Moshe is obvious as his strength emanates from Hashem.

    The Binah Leitim says that to correct the three thihgs tbe Jews violated, lack of Torah, concern for each other and consuming non-koshef from the sudah, Esther commanded them to do three things. Get them together learning Torah, fast for concern about her, and not eating anything. Three mitzvos weee instituted to remember them, megilla for Torah, mishloach manos and matonas leavyonim to show we care for each other and tbe sudah.

    AAQ, why didn’t Rav Shimon Hamosini think of Rebbi Akiva’s darush? I think it was obvious as the chachomim’s strength emanates friom Hashem but Rebbi Akiva was an am haaratz, so he realized that they need a special admonishment.

    The Ben Ish Chai compares the yetzer hara toa lame person who a horse rider has mercy on and he picks him up and allows him to sit in tne front of tne horse and to hold the reins. When they enter the town, the picked up person says to the horse’s owner, get off my horse. They go to the beis din and the dayan says to the owner, we know you are the owner of tne horse, but why did you allow him to sit in the front and let him hold the reins, so be careful not to let the yetzer hara be too confortable and take over.

    An intential murder with admonition by witnesses has no kapara. A shogeg, no admonition but witnesses, goes to arei miklat. so this was a crime of passion where if he thought it over a head of time
    would not have commit it as the meil, long shirt was made with proper measurement. Similarly, the mishkan wss made to exact specification. The Ben Ish Chai compares this to an architect who has to create a blue print for his test. He lives out a dot. He ends up failing the test but its only a dot. He is told that the dot is a representation of the king’s palace. Everything in the mishkan represents the mikdash above in the heavens, so it required exact measurements.

    Sometimes you have to use your intuition to pasken from your knowledge on the spot and hopefully you have the help of Divine Intervention not to make a mistake which later I was able to prove. If I wasn’t able to prove it, I admit I made a mistake saying what Shimon Hamasini said, the way I gained reward on the darishe, deduction of halacha, the same way I gain reward for the parishe, from refraining from it, so no bias involved but only to arrive to the truth. I made a ruling because the Rav was not there.

    An interesting shaila occured when the Rav was not there. It was Rosh Chodash Chanukah and the baal tefila just said Al Hanisim when it came to his attention that he forgot Yaaleh Vayovo. so he goes back and says it, does he have to repeat Al Hanisim. I said that the invidual would repeat it but the baal tefila does not because he already accimplished his parsumei nisei when he said it, so it would be a tirchei to repeat it. Later I wrote a detailed teshuva justifying my decision. Many poskim agreed with me and some did not.

    nishtdayngesheft, anything unnecessary forced on a tzibur is a tircha, especially if people stand to answer on a kaddish, as mentioned in MB 55,1 from the Baer Hetev and Aruch Hashulchan there not to increase kaddishim. Therefore if no chiyuv exists, one kaddish should be said without the tzibur’s approval. Our rabbi does not even allow a loud kedusha. For an example that an extra tefila is a tircha, see O’CH 126,3. On Rosh Chodash if the chazen forgets yalah vayavo, he goes back to ratzeh to say it except in the morning because of torach hatzibur as he will mention Rosh Chodash by musaf.

    Ask the tzibur if they are makped to say all kaddishim. If they are, then ask the Rav if the OP case is a chiyuv. Or asks the yasom to hire you with a penny or make you a shaliach.

    The Rav can pasken if it is a chiyuv but if not, we need the tzibur’s permission, the Rav cannot be matir against the tzibur’s will.

    Most kaddishim besides the chazen are optional depending if they are a chiyuv, otherwise it is up to the ztibur’s permission.

    The Ben Ish Chai says that shabbos unites which corrects the cause of the charbon, futile hatred. We say shabbos shalom because it unites the body and soul when we have a sudah lashem shomayim as a shalomim unites us with Hashem.

    Yes, the tax cuts helped the poor. The sink and swim attitude were good for the poor. The encouraging of elimination of Obamacare was beneficial for the poor. The increase in unemployed was really for the poor. The lack of concern for COVID for people without health insurance causing them to die was a blessing for the poor.

    Use your common saichel, Moshe Rabbenu told the judges to bring the hard judgements to me. Did you see all the posts about saying all kaddishim. You are busy with your own beliefs and don’t bother read all posts. Let peiple decide whether they want to go to a Rav or not. When it comes to azus, as I said before, one faults with their own faults.

    Maybe, Anolek is a reflection of the enemy from within, ki setzei lamilchama al oyvecha, the true enemy, the yetzer hara. A king came home after a great baftle and was happy being victorious, so he was told that now comes the real battle, the war against the yetzer hara, our bad inclination. The Chasan Sofer expains what it says vayhi kedibro elov yom yom as by Eishes Potifar to Yosef. When simeone has good merchandise, he does niot have to be a nudge to convince one to buy, the merchandice speaks for itself, only the yetzer hara speaks oinstantly to convince someone because he has nothing good to sell.

    Maybe, Moshiach and Shabbos is related, as teshuva is necessary to bring Moshiach and Shabbos has the letters toshev to do teshuva.
