    YD, The RMA SA YD 289,6 says שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות מזוזה סימן רפט סעיף ו
    והמדקדקין, יוצאין ידי שניהם, (ט) ומניחים אותה בשפוע ובאלכסון (טור והגהות מיימוני ומהרי”ל ות”ה סי’ נ”ב),
    we satisfy both views. I think that is not avoiding but compromising.

    I think if you do something according to everyone’s view is a compromise.

    Don’t Toi with me. Mi samcha leish? Who are you to tell me what to do when I believe I am right as mentioned on the other website and you have not convinced me otherwise. If one is wrong the other is right. If you are not saying both views are wrong, it is a compromise. Why don’t we follow the right view?

    If someone is really sure about oneself, does not need to show off. If you are there, you don’t need to shout. It comes from an inferiority complex. If he does show off, he shows there is nothing there.

    Gaiva brings one to worship a’z. He believes that Hashemi is not being mashgiach on us because of His
    greatness, so he pushes Him out from earth to the heavens by being dochek raglei hashchina. He ends up worshipping the servants as by dor enosh. He believies the master is not around, so it says al ponai, I am everywhere. The Rabbenu Abarbanel explains, lo siso, don’t elevate Hashem falsely.

    I would say that eminas chachomim originates from lo susur. Even if they tell you on the right left and vice verss as Yosef believed Yaakov Avinu did by the placement of his hands on his children. The Chasam Sofer considers Yitzchak Avinu’s test of the akedah greater than Avrohom Avinu’s as he was not directly commanded by Hashem as Avrohom Avinu was but only heared it from him.

    I follow the Chasam Sofer who says ashkenaz has the same kevonas but because the Arizal was a sefardi (argued above), he revealed the hidden secrets of the sefard davenen. I put on tefilin on chol hamoad (not Rabbenu Taam), eat gebroks, say maarovis, make yom kippur katan and put on a kittel on Rosh Hashanah. I take red radishes for karpas.

    Toi, if one way is wrong the other way is right but we don’t do it either way but a third way to satisfy both. So we do something that both the husband and wife agree. Isn’t tbat a compromise?

    Look at the Chasam Sofer Shut O’CH 16-17,197, Meharam Shik Shut O’CH 43, Divrei Chaim above Shut O’CH (2,8) and Minachas Elozor Shut (1,11).

    The Divrei Chaim above is Shut O’CH (2,8). He says if some does not know his soul’s roots, what shevat he comes from, should daven sefard.

    Thw Magen Avraham 68, says not to change minhagim in teflos as every shevat has its own gateway but according to the Divrei Chaim, sefard tefila is non denominational good for any shevat. The Pri Megadim says tbere not to switch one type of tefila to another but the Divrei Chaim says sefard not to ashkenaz but ashkenaz can be switched to sefard.

    The Arizal communicated with the Marshal both having the name Luria indicating that he is not from his family but Rav Chidah in Shem Hagdolim says that he was from his family indicating that he is also an ashkenaz whose rebbi was the Shutah Mekubetzes, Rebbi Betzalel Ashkenazi. The Chasam Sofer says that he revealed the kevonas in the sefard tefila as he was a sefaredi and he if would have been an ashkenazi, he would have done the same to the ashkanazic tefila.

    The most important lesson can be learned when entering the house. There is an argument between Rashi and Tosfas whether to place the mezuza horizantialy or verticaly, so we place it slented teaching us tbe importance of compromise. Most shalom bayis problems can be solved by following it.

    The holy Zohar says that the six days gain strength from shabbos. The value of work done on the six days comes through shabbos. A person works but does not accomplish anything. The coming shabbos, as by creatiion, reflects back by streghtening tne previous six days and determines the work’s done value.

    We find a similar idea in the placing of the mezuza. There is an argument between Rashi and Tosfas whether to place it horizantilly or verticaly, so we compromise and place it slented, satisfying both or neither.

    There is an argument when it comes to doing a mitzva, what is better, do it right away, zrizus or doing lt later in a nicer fashion, hiddur mitzva. It is interesting that the nesyim. leaders, where held responsible for waiting to contibute by seeing what is required because nothing might be required but maybe they could have added, if required, afterwards to their contribution. Also by a mitzva, if not you doing it then who except for contributions where others can precede you.

    Anonymous Jew, Tosfas in the beginning of Betza (6,1) questions this case if a chashosha is followed and the reason is gone whether to follow it further but sometimes like Yom Tov Sheni the reason can reoccur but over here, for those who followed it, tbe reason is still around. Overuse of an antibiotic is a problem by becoming immune to it.

    When would the ashkenazim only make one bracha on tefillin? I think, if he makes two brachas my mistake on the Rabbenu Taam, then he should only make one bracha on Rashi’s tefillin.

    Anyway the Aruch Hashulchan says that Rashi’s is pasul according to the Rabbenu Taam and vice versa, so our Rabbenu Taam’s is pasul according to him. We are putting it on according to his view in the parshiyus but not according to all his views.

    Obviously above should be, did Moshe Rabbenu wear two tefillins? I see that you say that the Rabbenu Taam’s tefillin is also written like that.

    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.

    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.

    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.
