catch yourself did not finish the Chazal’s statement לא ינקה מדינה של גיהנם, can’t avoid the punishment of the gehinom, as counting money will bring to direct interaction as stated above.
Reb EliezerParticipantI am an elderly person who thinks experience leads to knowledge, also had great rabbeim in the yeshivas, so I enjoy sharing it with others.
Reb EliezerParticipantLooks like Pence is an honorable person. He says, you are sueing the wrong party as congress sets the rules.
January 1, 2021 12:19 pm at 12:19 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah Vayechi — Counting Our Blessings #1934483Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasan Sofer explains the expression as eishes Potifar encouraged Yosef day by day, he did not listen to her. This is a reflection of the yetzer hara, bad inclination, who nudges a person constantly to sin by encourages him with all kinds of justifications, whereas the yetzer tov, good inclination, does not need to nudge as he has good merchandise which speaks for itself. Yosef thought that she had honorable intentions, but then she does not need to talk so much. Maybe, Yaakov Avinu taught Yosef to watch out for this and don’t follow the advice which comes from the yetzer hara which Yosef remembered when the father’s face appeared in front of him.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rabbenu Bachaya in Parashas Korach explains the reason keeping our feet together at the shmonei esrei besides being like malachim. We want to show that without Hashem’s help our feet are tied and thereby we recognize that only He can grant our wishes and no one else. That is what the first three brochos depict. One, there is a Supreme Being who remembers what our forefathers accomplished and brings the redemption in their zechusim. Two, He is mashgiach on us constantly and provides us our needs. Three, He is the only One able to give us this provision and therefore, the only One to daven to.
January 1, 2021 11:25 am at 11:25 am in reply to: Dvar Torah Vayechi — Counting Our Blessings #1934465Reb EliezerParticipantWe ask Hashem, don’t bring me to temptation and to shame. We are not Yosef. If You bring me to temptation, You will bring me to shame as I will not be able to pass the test.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chidushei Harim asks, what kind of curse was it to the snake to eat dust which is available everywhere? He answers, Hashem told it, here is your food and don’t bother me. We praise Hashem that we can praise Him and He wants to listen to our prayer. Hilel praised Hashem day by day that He provides food for a day at a time requiring to pray for the rest.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe, we can interpret on this, lo sosifu and lo sigru mimenu, don’t add to the psak and don’t take away. Don’t include and don’t exclude more than intented.
Reb EliezerParticipantTherefore, we ask Hashem, maleh mishalos libbenu letovah, fulfill our wishes for the good. I don’t know if it is good for me, so only grant my wishes when it is good for me.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is a question of the Baal Haikarim, Hashem does not change his mind, so how does davenen make Him change? He answers that He does not change but we change through davenen by bringing us closer to Hashem. It says in Ashrei, the will of those who fear Him He does and then He listens to their voices. He fulfilled their will before davening so what are they asking for? Sometimes one asks something that is not good for him but Hashem grants his wishes anyway and then he davens to change and undo it.

Reb EliezerParticipantYishai had doubts as Boaz died, thereby thinking that he has relationship with a shifcha. His wife took her place which she never revealed to him from which David Hamelech emerged. Shmuel Hanovi, later ruled with his beis din that a moavis was not included in the prohibition.
December 31, 2020 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm in reply to: Tznius — Not Directly Handing Items Between Men and Women #1934256Reb EliezerParticipantIs the OP a chasiddish custom? Is age a consideration?
Reb EliezerParticipantWe still don’t know whether one vaccinated can transmit the virus.
December 31, 2020 5:36 pm at 5:36 pm in reply to: Tznius — Not Directly Handing Items Between Men and Women #1934236Reb EliezerParticipantIf done sometimes and not always it is a problem.
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard it of a talmid of Rav Moshe ztz’l.
December 31, 2020 3:52 pm at 3:52 pm in reply to: Tznius — Not Directly Handing Items Between Men and Women #1934131Reb EliezerParticipantYes, we don’t want to differentiate when one can or cannot as with holding hands in public.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb Moshe ztz’l forbade to translate his teshuvos. Psak is dependent on tne circumstances invoved.
Reb EliezerParticipantywnjudy, ADHD does not require this kind of behavior. My son was diagnosed but never behaved so despicably. He is considered very creative and finished college in three years. Trump has been diagnosed by others with NPD – Narcissistic Personal Disorder.
Reb EliezerParticipantTrump only cares for himself and the proof is in the pudding. Senator McConnell does his bidding, even though they might lose the Georgia runoff, by withholding the $2000 COVID relief bill if the poison pill conditions are not met.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe pardon can be an impeachable crime when done for personal benefit, according to Harvard Professor Lawrence Tribe.
Reb EliezerParticipantA yid, we don’t hate because he will do teshuva whereas Trump will never do teshuva.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Perek for a shiduch is 121 not 13. Thirteen is for the galus.
Reb EliezerParticipantEach of the three is unique, Hashem, the husband to the wife and the wife to the husband being אחד,
thirteen. The relationship is unique. They are both connected to Hashem. איש through the ,י,
אשה through the ‘ה’ and כתובה through ‘וה’.Reb EliezerParticipantWill you pay shadchnus to Him by keeping His mitzvos?
December 30, 2020 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm in reply to: President Trump Releases Jonathon Pollard From Parole to go to Israel #1933865Reb EliezerParticipantI asked him to stop the parole earlier but he let it expire, so what should I be thankful for?
December 30, 2020 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm in reply to: President Trump Releases Jonathon Pollard From Parole to go to Israel #1933832Reb EliezerParticipantujm, why does Trump encourage white supramecists like the Pittsburg shooting incident through not speaking out strongly against them?
Reb EliezerParticipantYou are crackers. Cancer is not contamgeous and therefore it does not need that many testing. Colonoscopy at 50+ and mamogram at 40+ is recommended.
Reb EliezerParticipantI will give you an interpretation. איש, אשה שכינה שרויה ביניהם – thirteen adds up to אחד, unity – husband, wife and Hashem multiplied.
Reb EliezerParticipantDo 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantDo you know that rightism extreme is also a mental and spiritual degeneratve disease which leads to hatred and anti-semitism?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe senate must satisfy Trump’s personal interest to allow the $2000 relief bill.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe $2000 corona relief can only be legislated with his personal interest. Is it a wonder that people hate him?
December 30, 2020 2:06 pm at 2:06 pm in reply to: President Trump Releases Jonathon Pollard From Parole to go to Israel #1933636Reb EliezerParticipantTrump does not do anything selflessly. It is not in his DNA.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf Trump would care for others, he would speak up against restricting the transition thereby endangering our national security. He is generating his own hatred.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantShould be above, who made the world less safe even Israel.
Reb EliezerParticipantA 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.December 30, 2020 11:23 am at 11:23 am in reply to: President Trump Releases Jonathon Pollard From Parole to go to Israel #1933531Reb EliezerParticipantPeople asked for it including myself.
Reb EliezerParticipantDo you know that 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.Reb EliezerParticipantThey will say ‘goodbye and good riddance’ and forget about him.
Reb EliezerParticipantMeno, if someone has water, he does not have to share it with another because of chayecha but to take at away from him?
Reb EliezerParticipantTrump bypassed tbe pardon advisory board.
Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy is your blood redder than someone else’s blood?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe House approved the $2000 Stimulus Direct Payments.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantCan 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.
