Reb Eliezer

The above has Rebbi Akiva written with a heh. It is based on a story why his sefer is called Ohr Zaruah. Rabbi Yitzchak of Vienna had a question whether to write Rebbi Akiva with an aleph or a heh?
He dreamt to write it with a heh based on the pasuk אור זרוע לצדיק ולישרי לב שמחה which ends with the letters ר’ עקיבה.

Wolf, I don’t think that you are matriach the tzibur as you get them to say Amen and Amen Yeheh Shemeh Rabba etc. which is very chashuv as mentioned above. There is the story with Rebbi Akiva who taught a boy to say kaddish. Maybe you should not say all kaddishim but affer alenu.

Did Trump ever say, you misunderstood me? I did not mean to fight physically, I meant it figuratively. Stop it. I don’t want you to hurt Pence.

Examine all fights of Trump from before the election that we must win or it is rigged in context. Even Mitch agreed on Trump’s incited insurrection guilt but pushed away the senate trial after Trump was out and argued that a former president cannot be convicted.

There is one aveira mentioned in tefilas nilah, oshak, stealing which encompasses all aveiras misusing what Hasbem provides us including time for the bad. If a person does teshuva meahava, from love, the aveiras get converted to good deeds because he accomplishes more by sinning than not sinning at all by getting closer to Hashem. If he does not do teshuva, he is punished twice, once for violating Hashem’s will and two, not allowing Him to do good.

Doesn’t this prove that he likes Jews? See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/featured/1947311/nyc-mayoral-race-taking-off-candidate-andrew-yang-names-district-leader-david-schwartz-as-jewish-community-outreach-director.html

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 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.

See also the Pelei Yoetz under Ger, a similar idea, to see ourselves as a temporary dweller of this world.

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 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.
