    We see Hashem as the choson and us, the Bnei Yisroel as the kallah, lecha dadi likras kalah, as Moshe Rabbenu saw us, vayotzei Moshe, but Hashem sees us as the choson and the Torah, the kallah. The kallah is always seen as new. Asher anochi metzavcha hayom, every day the Torah be seen as new.

    They also say that if the mitzva woulld be that you personaly must send then it would be a question if a goy is considered like you as there is no shalichus by a goy. However the MB O’CH 695 questions that maybe we need a shaliach and it is no good to send by oneself. Therefore, it just a means to get it to someone, shalichus does not apply over here and we can send it with a goy and also by yourself.

    Rabbaim, when you buy one every week, the probability of winning increases as you nught not be to worthy of a miracle to win and your hishtadlus must be stronger. it could also be that by only buying one a year you increase your worthiness by trusting in Hashem.

    Yes, see Yehudah Yaaleh, 1,204 from Rav Yehuda Assad quoted by Rav Menasheh Klein in Mishnah Halachos proving that a katan can be a shaliach so can a goy because shelichas does not apply as I said before with siyata dishmaya.

    the square, not a circle, thanks for making fun of me but I happen to be right. Many, Rav Yudah Assad a talmid of Rav Mordechai Binet very highly regarded by the Chasam Sofer, O’CH 1,204 and the Chelyas Yaakov O’CH 234 and Rav Menashe Klein ztz’l, Mishneh Halachos 6,121 quoting above Rav Yudah Assad say that you can send mishloach manos through a katan, so you can also send it through a goy as shlichas does not apply here and therefore, I say you can send it also through the post office just make sure to get there by Purim. I happened to think clearly with siyata dishmaya.

    The shaliach is not the mitzva but a heiche timtzo, a means to get it to one, as according to the Rambam and the Kapos Teporim, the mitzva of shafor is not the blowing but the hearing the sound, so we make a bracha on hearng and not blowing.

    The RMA paskens SA O’CH 695,4 that if someone sends mishloach manos and the other does not want to accept it, he is still yotzei. The Chasam Sofer explains that the mitzva is the giving, to show love and unity, and not the receiving. According to this if he takes it himself and not by shaliach it should not matter and also if sent through the USPS. The halacha is in hilchas sudas Purim that the sudah should not be sudas kreso but sharing it with others. Therefore, says the Ksav Sofer, that if he has a good heart and wants to give a mishloach manos on Purim Katan, he can also make a sudah. The SA starts with yeriah and finishes with ahavah both tamid which is included in שני תמידים כהלכתם.

    The GRA explains above reply #1943652 not why it was written in the sefer but why is it said, vesim beoznei Yehoshua, to make Yehoshoa hear it, to understand how rhe word zecher is pronunced and not zochor as they are no nekudos, dots for vowels, in the Torah.

    advice in investment to lose his money. Isn’t there a contadiction in Beshalach it says, Hashem will destroy them whereas in Ki Seitzei there is a mitzva on us. Maybe, since we don’t know who they are, Hashem will destroy them.

    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.

    Rashi 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.

    smerel, 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.

    Trump 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.

    The holy Berdishever in his sefer Kedushas Levi says that actually the accusatiion of the ruler of the yam saying that we also worshiped a’z turns out to be beneficial to us. 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.

    מה 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.

    Always 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.

    It 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.
