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.

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.

It teaches them how to understand Rashi fully and remember it.

The kapora comes for not escorting by remembering that his father Yaakov Avinu escorted him and Yosef appreciated that. The Dubner Magid has a mashel. A Rav is hired in a new location. He wants to know how heartfully he is being wanted, he should check the wagons that are sent for him. If it is comfortable, big and spacious, then he knows that they want him to take everything along, being a permanent position. Similarly, Yosef sent big wagons, so Yaakov realized that Yosef really wants him there and not just temporarily so he was pleased.

My son could not afford the Kaplan Course, so he did not do as well on the LSAT and did not get a scholarship for law school. The poor have a disadvantage.

He is doing his normal walk and by doing a heter action an issur occurs, he is a misasek provided tbat he does not know there is a light there. This is similar as closing the door to protect the house and a deer is caught unintentionally.

ujm, on the certain circumstances one would be starved in a kuppa.

I agree, stopping the behavior now and for the future. If one burns his hand, he will be careful next time.

Obama was not impeached.

Trump with his pardon power has revealed himself. The emperor has no clothes. If he protected me, I will pardon him no matter what he did otherwise.

If tbe malchus does not cause peace, contradicting the mishna above, we have to get rid of that malchus.

The rich who commit white color crimes unecessarily go free whereas tbe poor stay in prison. Pardoning killing Iraqi civilians can create national security concerns.

Biden is not more senile than Trump. Moshe Rabbenu had problems speaking but Hashem helped him.
Why did not Pharaoh do a better test? If he wanted to know if Moshe was after his crown, he should have had two plates, gold and tbe crown, why hot coals?

Lech reid ki shiches amcha, says the midrash, mardus heim tzerichim. they need a stick, patsh. Explains tbe Dubner Magid, they are two kinds of rebbis. One, who knows a great deal but is very lenient but another who is not as knowledgeable but is very strict. You Moshe Rabbenu are from the ones who are to lenient and they did a strict rebbe even though he is not as knowledgeable. Shlomo Hamelech says, spare the rod, spoil the child. We say, you can get more with honey than vinegar. This depends on the age of a child. Chanoch lenaar lefi darkah, raise the child according to his understanding. An older child can be exolained why to avoid or do something.

Referring to the Yabia Omer above letter 15 from the Cbazon Ish that this stringency leads to a leniency. We find the Nodah Beyehudah allowed to shave with a poor worker on Chal Hamoad as if we let his beard grow to long, he might have to use a saar or gilette which is surely assur. It might be uncomfortable to grow a beard, protecting against pimples underneath it, using the above method. What happens to lo silbash if no stubles are left using cream or powder?

Similarly, Trump creates a safe haven with his rhetoric toward white supremacists.

The Chasam Sofer argues in O’CH 159 about kabalah and imitating the goyim. Leaving stubles should preclude lo silbash.

As my own idea, malochim don’t know what is in the mind of people, so Hashem as part of his mercy, allows them to listen to the prayer and they will bring the above statement to fruition.

Should be above Hamispalel.

You are right I mispelled it. It should be Martial Law.

Trump is dangerous with his Marshal Law.

When Paraoh tells the dream to Yosef, he adds the word I stand by sefas hayeor, by the riverside but at the original dream is it not mentioned. Pharaoh wanted to test Yosef if he also knows the dream itself. So to the Bnei Yesoschor, Yosef said, שפת לא ידעתי אשמע I hear a sefas which I don’t understand.

The Binah Leitim Darush 18, interprets Pharao’s dream differently. Who asked Yosef to find a manager on Mitzraim to make sure that grain is collected for the seven skinny years? He says the seven fat years also contained seven skinny years as some tevuah was set aside and vice versa, the seven skinny years was seven fat years as the collected grain was dispersed. What needs an explanation the question about the repetion which seems to be necessary for each of the seven years.

ujm, since the president and vice president are in question, the speaker of the house would become temporary president.

We find a similar idea when it says Vaykro (25,39) ki yamich achicha ‘imoch’, your brother became impoverished with you. Feel like you became poor with him. Be nosei beol im chavera, carry the yoke togeher with your friend.
