ujm, the elderly is mostly at home not mixing but AOC is out among others. I am an elderly person having also a pre-existing condition, waiting but not making a chilul Hashem.
I wanted to demonstrate how a woman became famous by contributing to halacha in her own mitzvos and how the men try to understand her views.
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.

where Rav Yair Hoffman, Shlita says that ‘there is no heter to avoid taking the vaccine’ujm, the Rambam Hilchas Yesodei Hatorah (5,11) says that Chilul Hashem is dependent on expectations. There is more expected from Orthodox Jews.
Look up the Jewish Journal. People from Adas Yereim follow their customs and don’t care for America, the am reik even among goyim. There is something called epiphany.
By us they keep it the night towards Jan 6 little kratzmich.
Could be that Shemaiah and Avtalyon got into the picture who were gerim to break the previous succession and start from Yehuda, Hilel from then on.
All the halachas eminate from Hilel descendants of Yehuda the Rosh Yeshiva.
מעשה אבות סימן לבנים, Yehudah Hanosi will disseminate the Torah through the mishna, as we know, they say that there is no nishna for Chanukah because the kohanim took over.
Charlie, I don’t understand what he is saying. One person can do what Trump is doing, whereas a group of people will stop this type of behavior.
There is another way, by referring to the reply number attached to each post.
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.
I would say that moed maseches should precede bava basra but even there the gemara veres off to topics not applicable to women.
The women have a responsibility to learn the written law, so they also have a responsibility to remember what they learned.
ujm, would it not be January 7, 14 days difference? For a goyishe celebration why use the jewish calendar?
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.
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.
We observe Jan 6 as the calendar was modified by Pope Gregory in 1582.
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.
Rav Silberstein paskened lehalacha to vaccinate following the doctors and the leaders.
See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/1931565/hagaon-harav-yitzchak-zilberstein-the-vaccine-has-the-authority-of-beis-din.htmlHe 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.
Could be the 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 encorages 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 infront of him.
ujm, on the certain circumstances one would be starved in a kuppa.
Obama had not personal benefit in any of his pardons.
I agree, stopping the behavior now and for the future. If one burns his hand, he will be careful next time.
It was instituted for mercy when someone circumstances forced him to commit the crime as stealing to feed one’s child. An addict steals to satisfy his addiction.
Obama was not impeached.
The number does not matter but the reason.
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.
We have an adage in computers ‘gigo’, garbage in garbage out which can be apllied on Trump.
If tbe malchus does not cause peace, contradicting the mishna above, we have to get rid of that malchus.
ujm, did the white collared criminals pardoned pay for the damages?
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.
If angry, try to come down by counting to ten and think that tbe spanking is for his benefit and not yours.
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?It is not a general rule. A young child crossing the road in traffic requires spanking to avoid this in the future or any other endangerment like striking a match or opening the gas.
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.
