Wolf, maybe, there is a bigger yetzer hara for yeshiva boys and too much emphasis is placed on learning torah and not enough for sensivity and empathy and that is why we wear masks and require social distancing to minimize our interaction with each other.

A child is very impressionable and therefore, it is utmost to keep him currently out of public school.
The chitzonos, the outside action in performance of the mitzvos, should reflect on the penimiyos, the inner feelings and closeness towards Hashem.
The Retrumpican tax cuts helped the average American?
The generations become weaker in Torah knowledge. The Rabbenu Bachaya at the end of Parashas Ki Siso explains that mishna was written concisely as we could only write down what was necessary for understanding but as the generation became weaker, more became necessary. Therefore, in our psak, we rely on our previous poskim who were smarter than we are. I pointed out the ruling of the Chasam Sofer, Rav Yehudah Assad and the Maharsham which is being dismissed because of lack of knowledge. I don’t see the Encyclipedia Talmudis talking about a goy being a shaliach but you might want to look at the Sefer Piskei Teshuvas siman 695 referring to the above.
Charlie, that she equivocated makes it plausable not made up apology as she points out were she has problems.
See also the Pelei Yoetz under Ger, a similar idea, to see ourselves as a temporary dweller of this world.
The Denocrats wirh 11 Republicans voted to bar MTG from commitees. The excuse is that the Republican Party is a big tent but I would not want to bring something that stinks into it.
The Ksav Sofer asks why give two crowns when we must hear before we can do? The crown was given because of the precedence. However, there was only one precedence, so why two crowns? If they would have said, נשמע ונעשה, hear and do, then no two crown would be given, but they said נעשה ונשמע, do and hear, but you cannot do before you hear, so נשמע over here means to understand and for that an extra crown is deserved. The precedence caused the change of meaning through which a crown was provided.

Dvar Torah on the Redemption
Rashi in the beginning of Parshes Vaychi asks, why is this parshe closed? (nine letter separation in between two parshiyos) Answers Rashi, because the Torah wants to symbolize that this was the beginning of the suffering and enslavement of the Jews. Their breath was started to be taken away by closing their breathing passages. It says that they couldn’t listen to Moishe, because of their shortness of breath and hard labor. Another answer is given by Rashi, that it symbolizes the closing off the revealing of the end, the coming of the Meshiach, which Yaakov Avinu was curtailed from disclosing.
The problem is that, neither of these answers satisfies the question. It does not answer why especially there is no pause after parshas Vayigash. Depending on the above answers this lack of pause should have been delineated, either in the beginning of Parshas Shmos, or before the blessings to his sons, respectively.
The Klei Yokor at the end of parshas Vayigash explains that, the reason for the suffering and enslavement was because the Jews forgot an important lesson that must be remembered in galus, diaspora. We must constantly keep in mind that we are strangers in a foreign land. Moishe Rabbeinu constantly kept this in mind, and therefore the G-d of his father was constantly helping him. This was the lesson that Moishe Rabbeinu wanted to teach us through the naming of his children. The Jews wanted to become part of the Egyptian establishment. They forgot that they came to Egypt just as a temporary dweller, who is fleeing his problems temporarily by escaping to a strange land. They became rich and acquired land. They built on it fancy houses which the Egyptians resented.
The Klei Yokor in parshas Devorim explains, that when we are in diaspora among the descendants of Eisov and Yishmoel, we must keep ourselves inconspicuous. They resent the fact that we got the blessing from Yaakov and Yitzchok, which causes envy and hate. They will do everything possible to take our wealth away. They will put us into labor camps to weaken us, and if that doesn’t work, G-d forbid, annihilate us.
This envy and resentment happened in Egypt. When the Egyptian saw how the Jews are getting wealthier and stronger, they became envious and the resentment grew.
The Klei Yokor also explains in the beginning of parshas Vaychi that the reason that G-d curtailed Yaakov Avinu the revealing of the end, was because, if people know that the coming of the Meshiach will not be in their life time they will give their hope up (meyaesh). They will forget the lesson from above and that they are in diaspora. They will build fancy houses etc. This will hold back the redemption. The redemption can only come if we keep in mind that we are in diaspora and we require the help of G-d to redeem us and no one else can do that.
Therefore, the disclosing of the end was impossible. The Jews behaved in like manner without revealing the end. The revealing would have caused the viscous cycle which would have held back the redemption. Therefore, everything is symbolized at the end of Parshas Vayigash.The Daas Torah from the Maharsham of Brezon the grandfather of Rav Shvadron also qoutes the above Rav Yehudah Assad, Yehudah Yaaleh, O’CH 204 on the SA O’CH 695,4.
The Pelei Yoetz says to have in mind לישועתך קוינו כל היום. we hope for Your (Hashem’s) help. The Arvei Nachal says המתפלל בעד אחרים whoever prays for others (Hashem) והוא צריך לאותו דבר and he needs that thing (redemption) הוא נענה תחילה he will be answered first.
The above Yehudah Yaaleh view is also the Chasam Sofer’s view as indicated in reply #1944827 from the Sefer Mishnah Halochos by Rav Menasha Klein ztz’l allowing to send it with a goy.
According to the Aruch Hashulchan there, we should sent it on Purim in order to create simcha.
We see Hashem as the choson and us, the Bnei Yisroel as the kallah, lecha dadi likras kalah, as Moshe Rabbenu saw us, vayotzei Moshe, but Hashem sees us as the choson and the Torah, the kallah. The kallah is always seen as new. Asher anochi metzavcha hayom, every day the Torah be seen as new.
They also say that if the mitzva woulld be that you personaly must send then it would be a question if a goy is considered like you as there is no shalichus by a goy. However the MB O’CH 695 questions that maybe we need a shaliach and it is no good to send by oneself. Therefore, it just a means to get it to someone, shalichus does not apply over here and we can send it with a goy and also by yourself.

Rabbaim, what is fated every year? How much one will earn this year or how much one will one earn through buying a lottery ticket?
Rabbaim, when you buy one every week, the probability of winning increases as you nught not be to worthy of a miracle to win and your hishtadlus must be stronger. it could also be that by only buying one a year you increase your worthiness by trusting in Hashem.
Mordechai has a long beard without a chup in the back.
Yes, see Yehudah Yaaleh, 1,204 from Rav Yehuda Assad quoted by Rav Menasheh Klein in Mishnah Halachos proving that a katan can be a shaliach so can a goy because shelichas does not apply as I said before with siyata dishmaya.
the square, not a circle, thanks for making fun of me but I happen to be right. Many, Rav Yudah Assad a talmid of Rav Mordechai Binet very highly regarded by the Chasam Sofer, O’CH 1,204 and the Chelyas Yaakov O’CH 234 and Rav Menashe Klein ztz’l, Mishneh Halachos 6,121 quoting above Rav Yudah Assad say that you can send mishloach manos through a katan, so you can also send it through a goy as shlichas does not apply here and therefore, I say you can send it also through the post office just make sure to get there by Purim. I happened to think clearly with siyata dishmaya.
The shaliach is not the mitzva but a heiche timtzo, a means to get it to one, as according to the Rambam and the Kapos Teporim, the mitzva of shafor is not the blowing but the hearing the sound, so we make a bracha on hearng and not blowing.
The RMA paskens SA O’CH 695,4 that if someone sends mishloach manos and the other does not want to accept it, he is still yotzei. The Chasam Sofer explains that the mitzva is the giving, to show love and unity, and not the receiving. According to this if he takes it himself and not by shaliach it should not matter and also if sent through the USPS. The halacha is in hilchas sudas Purim that the sudah should not be sudas kreso but sharing it with others. Therefore, says the Ksav Sofer, that if he has a good heart and wants to give a mishloach manos on Purim Katan, he can also make a sudah. The SA starts with yeriah and finishes with ahavah both tamid which is included in שני תמידים כהלכתם.
abukspan, it says תורת ה’ חפצו when ir comes to Torah of Hashem, he desires it, but בתורתו יהגה יומם ולילה, his own written Torah, he keeps it in mind day and night.
Mod-29 you misunderstood the post. I said that people stay by their beliefs even to the last minute when everything is proven agaunst them. I did not infer anything about the character of the poster, so there is nothing dreadful about it.
We have RJJ in Staten Island to send shloach monos for you, so you don’t have to do it yourself.
That was a dreadful thing to say and will not be posted. -29
