    You are crackers. Cancer is not contamgeous and therefore it does not need that many testing. Colonoscopy at 50+ and mamogram at 40+ is recommended.

    I will give you an interpretation. איש, אשה שכינה שרויה ביניהם – thirteen adds up to אחד, unity – husband, wife and Hashem multiplied.

    Do we hate Trump for nothing? He adds a poison pill in the COVID $2000 relief bill such that the Democrats should not be able to agree by being only concerned with his own personal interest.

    The senate must satisfy Trump’s personal interest to allow the $2000 relief bill.

    The $2000 corona relief can only be legislated with his personal interest. Is it a wonder that people hate him?

    If Trump would care for others, he would speak up against restricting the transition thereby endangering our national security. He is generating his own hatred.

    A self aggrandizing narcissist who only cares for the rich, thinks he knows everything better than anyone else and should never been president in the first place. He made the world less safe even Israel.

    The purpose is emphasis and to recall it easily after gone from the recent news.

    Now they are so nice but Israel sold him out. First he did it for free, believing that it was the right thing to do. He was enticed to take money and became a spy and could not quit anymore.
    They were suppose to save him and they left him hanging to be arrested.

    I don’t think chayecha kodmin applies here. You don’t have to give up your place in line but don’t jump ahead. A person can kill someone in order not to get killed or steal from someone because of chayecha kodmin.

    The Berditchever ztz’l on kol nidrei night went through the shul looking under the tables. The chasiddim were wondering what was he looking for? When he finished, he went to the bima and said, Ribonei Shel Olam, you gave the Jews a day when there is a mitzva to eat but I cannot find one drunk under the table whereas the umas haolam on their new year drink themselves under the table. We look backwards at our Rosh Hashana to learn what improvements we can make for the New Year whereas they look ahead and say, should old acquaintance be forgot and let bygones be bygones.

    Can someone explain to me what was the point? A person says to his friend, if you eat a half a frog, I give you a $100. He eats it and says, you know what, if you eat the other half, you don’t have to pay. They both end up eating a half a frog for nothing. Trump signed it anyway.

    ujm, google ‘when is nittel’ and you will see the Jewish Journal, A Brief History of Nittel Nacht, indicating Jan 6 which would make it inclusive. Nittel is not instituted by rabbonim but a custom. Some say that it was dangerous to go to shul to learn. The sefardim don’t keep it as their goyim are mainly muslems.

    I am extending what Rashi says mishom teitzei haroah, from Goshen will come psak and also through Yehuda. Maybe that was the reason that later Yehuda took over psak, which interesting as you would think that the Torah delegates it to the kohanim who did not work. It was the execution of halachas but not the derivation. Yehuda was the nasi who did not need to be supported either, so they had time to work on the Torah.

    It can be done without a chilul Hashem, so pikuach nefesh is certainly not doche.

    efsharazoi, are you familiar with tbe view of tbe EIshas Sma (tbe wife of the Sma) that by yom tov you make tbe bracha before lighting candles? See Mishna Berura O’CH 263,26, many agree with her and tbe Chasam Sofer explains the mishna in tractate Shabbos 24 according to her other view that you light early on yom tov as shabbos.

    אנכי ארד עמך ואנכי עלך גם עלה, I go down with you and bring you up wth me, asks the Dubner Magid, why by going down Hshem comes first whereas when coming up you come first? He answers, it is similar to taking a child into tbe sea. When going in, you go first to protect the child but when going out, the child comes first. Similarly Hashem stays in Mitzraim until we are taken out, imo anochi batzoro.

    The Avudraham points out that we fast the 10th of Teves any day as it says b’etzem hayom hazeh, this very day. It is aschalte depuroniyos, the start of punishment, culminating with the destruction of the temple in two and half years.

    Shabbos is exempt as the kedusha overtakes the tumah. Some say, people used to learn in shul and it was a danger to go out and learn on this night.

    Pope Gregory eliminated ten days and years divided by a hundred became only leap years if they can also be divided by four hundred. Now at 1582, 1600 and 2000 did not change but it changed 1700, 1800 and 1900 making a thirteen day difference, so December 25 inclusive becomes January 6.

    Looking up the Ohel Yaakov, he has a little different mashel. Someone invites people for his son’s bris and sends a big comfortable wagon to bring them. Similarly, at the redemption, Hashem will make sure that we all be able to take part in it providing big comfortable airplains to fly us to Eretz Yisroel, should happen in our time speedily, Omen. The shibud might be a stepping stone to the redemption.

    The Klei Yokor attributes the shibud in Mitzraim to Yaakov’s concern of taking tbe environment along and not get assimilated. They grabbed on to the land ויאחזו בה which created jealousy, so the mitzryim weakened them through work. They had hakoras tov for Yosef, so they did not directlty kill them in contrast to the Natzim ym’s who learned their behavior against the Jews from mitzryim. The Jews forgot the belief to keep in mind constantly that we are strangers in a strange land, as pointed out in detail by the Meshech Hachama in Parashas Bechukosai on Af Gam Zos. Moshe Rabbebu named his first son Gershom to remember this dictum.

    There is a joke, how come that this night the goyim celebrate the night before and Purim we make the sudah towards the night after? They celebrate after a Jew and we celebrate after a goy.
