    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.

    Esther was the student who originally did not want to go Ahashverus. She learned from Mordechai to go to Ahashverus in order to save her people. I don’t see where she was rhe rebbi.

    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.

    Possibly the tzibur can forgive their tircha, so ask the tzibur if they mind you saying all kaddishim as there is no one else to say it.

    We take out, if possible, two or three sefer torahs to avoid mishing (turning to the place) the torah in public in order not to waiste people’s time. What is necessary is necessary, so we don’t cut it out. The more people there are the greater the aveira. The question alwsys is, if tbere is way around it.

    I don’t think this is worthy of an answer. We have a mitzva to learn Torah but not being a doctor or a mechanic. so I cannot do it myself. I thank Hashem that He gave me the means and the abiliity to research it. All by one exists by none.

    There is a shaila but not this one. If someone hires one to say kaddish for his/her behalf, there, I think, since he is saying kaddish in place of a chiyuv, should say all kaddishim and certainly it is not a waste of time.

    common saychel, the whole shaila over here has to do with tircha detzibura, waisting other people’s time, for which I said to minimize kaddishim. We satisfy the requirement without saying all kadishim.

    It is better to leave the sefer torah open when making the first bracha on it and looking aside when saying it in order to avoid opening and finding the place again because of tircha detzibera which is multiplicative, by waisting people’s time, aveira. If a wrong sefer torah was taken out by error than pegima of the torah takes precedence kal vechomer how to watch not to be pogem in a Jew who has a holy heavenly soul.

    It says ומרדכי לא יכרע ולא ישתחוה, and Mordechai did not bow or prostrate himself. Why was it right for everyone else but not for him and not only Mordechai does not bow down but shows Haman ym’s the contract that Haman sold himself as a slave to him when in in the desert provided him food. The Chasam Sofer explains that Haman was wearing an idol on his neck, so others were able to bow down to him showing respect for his stature but Mordechai could not because being his slave, people will think that he is not bowing for resoect but to the idol. The contract was shown as a reason for not bowing down.

    There is an argument for the reason of mishelach manos. Is it related to the sudah to share our sudah with others or to send presents to everyone in order not to ashame the poor? The first side might be the reason as currently in Jerusalem, matonas leavyoni, caring for the poor, goes with the reading of the megilla on Friday and the mishelach manos, to show unity toward each other, is on the day of the sudah on Sunday.

    President Biden realizes that to get something accomplished, we need partners as it cannot be done alone as mitzvos cannot be done alone. Someone must make the tefilin and write the sefer torah.
