Reb EliezerParticipant
The GRA explains why Yehoshua had to write the commemoration in a sefer. The sefer has no dots. Yoav killed the males because he said that his rebbi taught him the word was zochor amolek and not zecher amolek. so Yehoshua needed to be taught how to read the word.
Reb EliezerParticipantRashi brings a mashel on ויבא עמלק, and Amolek came, which we should keep in mind all the time. A father is carrying his son on his shoulders. Someone asks the son, where is your father? He says, I don’t know, so he throws him to the dogs. Hashem carries us on his shoulders by providing al of our needs and we forget, so Hashem threw us to the dogs to Amolek.
Reb EliezerParticipantsmerel, what I bring proof is that someone responsible of people whether a melech or not is judged differently. Trump has violated his oath by endangering peiple that he was responsible for and therefore, he certainly should not serve in that position not now or in the future. You brought a proof from a melech, so I said he is not one.
Reb EliezerParticipantTrump is not a king as the halochos of morid bemalchus does not apply since he can’t put them to death and even bring tbem to justice. Achashveus gave Vashti over to justice but because of his shcizophrenic nature were afraid to rule.
Reb EliezerParticipantA leader has different judgements to protect the nation as Shaul Hamelech. It does not have to be a criminal act. Trump was a masis umadiach contributing to deaths and injuries to people for whom he is responsible for.

Why the mitzryim got into the sea? Didn’t they realize that this was a miracle? It says rama bayam, elevate and then it says yara bayam, thrown. This accusation was transfered to the ruler of mitzraim who gave the mitzryim a feeling of victory, getting into the yam, by elevating them which led to their downfall.
January 29, 2021 9:31 am at 9:31 am in reply to: Dvar Torah Beshalach 5 — Order of Operations: Cute vort on a great question #1943603Reb EliezerParticipantמה תצעק אלי why scream to me דבר אל בני ישראל ויסעו, speak to the Jews to move, asks the Ohr Hachaim Hakadash, why did tefila alone not help here? He answers, that sometimes midas hadin, judgement, rules as they were accused of also worshiping a’z, so they had to show a mesiras nefesh, a sacrifice, to have the midas rachamim, ruling of mercy, overtake by getting into the sea which actually done by Nachshon ben Aminodov, besoch hayom bayabosho, first going to the sea and then dry land but by the Jews was bayabosho besoxh hayom, the dry land was in the sea.
The GRA explains that choma originally was with a ‘vov’ meaning a wall but later it is without a ‘vov’
cheimo, meaning anger.
The GRA explains that it refers to the pesel of Michal. When the Jews were in the sea, the pesel was still outside in the dry land whereas when the Jews were on the otherside, the pesel went into the sea. They were never in the sea together.January 28, 2021 1:22 pm at 1:22 pm in reply to: Biden condemns racism and nativism in the same sentence #1943408Reb EliezerParticipantBiden says, silence is complicity, shtika kehodah.
Reb EliezerParticipantTrump did not lead the insurrection but encouraged it.
Reb EliezerParticipantHealth, I told you before, if people say you are drunk, lay yourself down. They don’t want to go through this again and not because Trump would win.
January 27, 2021 9:14 pm at 9:14 pm in reply to: Tu Beshvat, Bracha and Shecheyonu Which Comes First #1943183Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a question whether to make sheyonu at all as the fruits are available the whole year.
See Igros Moshe O’CH 3,34 and Teshuvas Vehanhogas Krach 1 siman 201 from Rav Sternbuch Shlita.January 27, 2021 9:14 pm at 9:14 pm in reply to: Tu Beshvat, Bracha and Shecheyonu Which Comes First #1943182Reb EliezerParticipantThe Beer Hetev brings the sefard halacha from the Halachas Ketanos see the Chasam Sofer above.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat you saying makes no sense. Why was the insurrection at the time of certifying the election?
January 27, 2021 7:16 pm at 7:16 pm in reply to: Biden announces restoration of U.S. relations and aid to Palestinians #1943144Reb EliezerParticipantWe have the Oslo Accords in 1990 with Arafat but later Ehud Barack wanted to give him everything but the kitchen sink and he refused to make peace.
Reb EliezerParticipantAbout shecheyonu see my discussion at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/tu-beshvat-bracha-and-shecheyonu-which-comes-first
Reb EliezerParticipantEating 15 kinds of fruits and make a shecheyonu. Make an esrug compote.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou Retrumpican approve of the insurrection destroying our democracy where the majority accepts President Biden realizing that no fraud occured. Currently, the second amendment should not apply as we are not in the wild, wild west and if it does, we need gun control legistlation not to sell guns to mentally disturbed like you. If the consertive view points lead to murder, it should be silenced.
January 27, 2021 3:42 pm at 3:42 pm in reply to: Biden announces restoration of U.S. relations and aid to Palestinians #1943024Reb EliezerParticipantHe believes in two state solution and encourages the palestinians to make peace with Israel.
Reb EliezerParticipantAlways Ask Questions, the difference is that Dasan Vaavirom figured the opposite that the birds will not eat it. However, we figure that they will eat it and reward them for it. Intentions do matter. Doing something for the right intentions is rewarded. מחשבה טובה הקב’ה מצרפה למעשה see Tosfas in Kidushin (39,2) beginning machshava, explains the Meharsha that there is difference between goyim and yidden. By the Jews, a good machshava is counted whereas a bad one is not but by the goyim the opposite is true. A Jew when he has a good machshava will folllow up and do it but a bad one, he will not. However, a goy is the opposite, a bad one he will do but by a good one a machshava is not enough until actually done. The Maharal explains that by a Jew the atzmiyus is good as the reason of the Rambam of forcing a divorce until he agrees because a Jew wants to do the right thing but the yetzer hara resists him, so we force the yetzer hara out.
Reb EliezerParticipantWho cares? Trump was not my president.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt recognizes that parnasa is provided by only Hashem, so we are asked to throw our worries on Him as the mon was provided by Hashem, not more or less from what is fated. On erev shabbos there was a double provision. Maybe Tuesday is a double ki tov and Beshalach is the parsha of the mon. This reminds me of the famous mashol of the Dubner Magid. A man was carying a heavy package. He sees someone coming with a horse and wagon. The man invites him to get on the wagon. He looks back to see how the package guy is doing and sees that he is holding the package on his lap. He says, why don’t you lay the package on the wagon? He says to him, I don’t want to burden the horses with my package, so he is told, you are a fool. If you carry it, don’t the horses have to carry it also? The comparison is, if we worry about parnasa, doesn’t Hashem worry about it also?
There is a minhag to put out for shabbos bread crumbs for the birds as they ate up the bread crumbs placed out by Dasan Vaacirom to fool Jews to think that mon fell on shabbos.Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantThey confirmed them easily because they are all competent not like Trump who only cared about a ‘yes’ man and not experience in the resoective fields of expertise.
January 26, 2021 11:51 am at 11:51 am in reply to: Supreme Court Dismisses Case Creating a Laughter #1942665Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t understand the whole thing. Is it moot because there is no proof or because he is not president anymore?
January 25, 2021 9:44 pm at 9:44 pm in reply to: Supreme Court Dismisses Case Creating a Laughter #1942458Reb EliezerParticipantI would not go by Dershovitz who held at the first impeachment that the president is above the law.
January 25, 2021 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm in reply to: Supreme Court Dismisses Case Creating a Laughter #1942453Reb EliezerParticipantGH, explain to me where is the justice in this rulling?
January 25, 2021 8:51 pm at 8:51 pm in reply to: Supreme Court Dismisses Case Creating a Laughter #1942444Reb EliezerParticipantBeasher hu shom, not when judged but when comitting the crime.
January 25, 2021 7:42 pm at 7:42 pm in reply to: Supreme Court Dismisses Case Creating a Laughter #1942424Reb EliezerParticipantThe second impeachment is being presented to the senate even though Trump is not president now as long as when he was impeached in the house, he was president to make sure he cannot run again.
January 25, 2021 7:42 pm at 7:42 pm in reply to: Supreme Court Dismisses Case Creating a Laughter #1942422Reb EliezerParticipantIts a chuka veatlulh does not make any sense, chotei nisker, if he took money as president, he still has it. Why is it moot when he commited the crime when it was forbidden?
January 25, 2021 6:16 pm at 6:16 pm in reply to: Is being “eco-friendly” a value that means something to you? #1942403Reb EliezerParticipantMalenoma occurs because of destroying the ozione layer created by Hashem to protect us from the sun.
January 25, 2021 10:00 am at 10:00 am in reply to: Is being “eco-friendly” a value that means something to you? #1942223Reb EliezerParticipantIt is part of the Torah of hakoras hatov where we are commanded not to destroy the environment Hashem provides to us by showing that we appreciate it as we have a resposbility to return tne neshomo clean as given to us.
Reb EliezerParticipantLook up factcheck where the money 50B, Iran money, was held back in US banks for sactions but after the agreement, the money was returned.
January 22, 2021 2:15 pm at 2:15 pm in reply to: Biden condemns racism and nativism in the same sentence #1941477Reb EliezerParticipantI miss your jewish common sense as Jews were never forbidden now to come here, so they don’t need an executive order to be allowed.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe make a bracha yotzer hamoros to ask Hashem that tbe moon should reacquire its original size and new light (having its own light) of creation being equal to the sun as explained by Rashi in Breishis on the pasuk.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe also see from the Korban Pesach and Milah the concept of free choice. The Jews sacrifice the lamb of the horoscope for Nissan, the idol of mitzryim, the mazal, to show that we are above the stars and they don’t predermine our fate. The Sefer Hachinuch says that Milah reflects this idea indicating that we have the ability to change ourselves. The Tzetil Katan by the Noam Elimelech says that our purpose in this world is to change our nature.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Jews are like the moon. There greatness appears in cycles. Sometimes they are up and sometimex tney are down. The Chasam Sofer says that the moon was willing to make itself smaller that the stars should be seen. The Hafloah says tbat a rebbi should be seen like a malach who is stationary in his edification to show and reveal the greatness of his talmidim in order to learn from him. The Rabbenu Bachaya on the parasha says from the Rabbenu Chananel that the calculation is what we rely on when determining the new moon. Tbe observation must agree with this calculation.
Reb EliezerParticipantI waited 2 1/2 years before I was able to come to the USA.
January 21, 2021 1:09 pm at 1:09 pm in reply to: Biden condemns racism and nativism in the same sentence #1941182Reb EliezerParticipantImagine how different would have been if Trump spoke out clearly against white supremacist as Biden did and not encorage them by making them think tbat he is their advocate.
Reb EliezerParticipantBy being president of a group, he becomes president of each individual within that group.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat you are saying is obvious tnat a president tries to satisfy the majority of the group and cannot safisfy each individual whim.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, look at the Klei Yokor on the hasneh einenu ukol, the whispering of gossup makes a noise like tbe burning of bushes which is constant.
Reb EliezerParticipantEvery person has his own Mitzraim and Pharaoh. For me it was leaving Hungary and the communists regime almost 64 years ago. Pharaoh is also the yetzer hara from whom we want to cleanse ourselves.
We didn’t interact with each other properly by showing a smile, so our interactiion was curtailed. Yedid, a friend, is yad el yad.Reb EliezerParticipantNot caring about people starving and dying is against the Torah.
January 20, 2021 2:24 pm at 2:24 pm in reply to: Frum Man Has “Credible Information” That Trump Will Remain President #1940715Reb EliezerParticipantGH, you forgot that Trump was banned from Twitter forever.
Reb EliezerParticipantPittsburg – terrible
Capitol- terribleReb EliezerParticipantI think that Trump pardoned himself and family privately, so when necessary, he will be able to refer to it.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey should expess their contrition publically.
January 20, 2021 1:55 pm at 1:55 pm in reply to: Thank You Donald Trump, the Jews’ Best Friend! #1940689Reb EliezerParticipantIt means that Biden will not encourage anti-semites as Trump did.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy are you belaboring the obvious? If one does not show contrition does Hashem forgive him? Why not? Because. He does not want him to repeat his sins.
Reb EliezerParticipantOne must show contritiion to get a pardon but ones listed above never showed it.
