    The president is crazy. After the Retrumpicans did everything to stop a bigger stimulus direct pwyment, he goes and blows the whole thing up by willing to veto the bill if tbey don’t agree to give a bigger payment.

    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.

    It says כל המחלה אשר שמתי במצרים לא אשים עליך כי אני ה’ רפאך, all illness which are placed on Mitzraim I will not place on you because I am Hashem your healer. We see that Hashem is the Healer before the illness has arrived. By the doctor, healer is referred to by a ‘peh’ as yerapoh yerapeh whereas by Hashem by an ‘feh’ rofecha. The Rabbenu Bachaya explains that a doctor’s cure is hard whereas Hashem’s is light. The doctor has a double expression, requiring to return to cure the side affects or get a second opinion, which by Hashem is not required.

    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.

    The last day of Chanukah is called Zos Chanukah for its leining. Kol, tefila (136), tzom, teshuva, milchemes hayetzer (136) and mamon, tzedaka (136) together add up to 408 as zos, ches Chanukah, the eight day of Chanukah. These are the means to come to teshuva as Yaakov Avinu taught us by greeting Eisov. Bezos Yavoh Aharon, with this preparation Aharon came to the mishkan.

    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.

    In this week’s parasha Miketz we find an implication for Chanukah. Yosef said וטבח טבח והכן the last two words טב חנוכה tav Chanukah, why here and why tav and not tov? The midrash says אתה שמרת השבת עד שלא נתנה, חייך שבן בנך עתיד להקריב בשבת, you kept shabbos before it was given, I swear that your grandson will do the sacrifice on shabbos, so the shevet of Ephraim will sacrifice on shabbos at the dedication of the mishkan. The Chasam Sofer answers the kashye above of טומאה הותרה בצבור the impurity was pemitted in a tzibur, so why was the neis required in the first place. The mishkan was completed on the 25th of kislev but was posponed to Rosh Chodesh Nissan when the avos were born because it would not have come out that Yosef’s shevet sacrificed on shabbos, so Chanukah came about to be repayed for the day. Now if we apply this rule of permiting tuma, what did we gain as tuma, impurity is on the level of shabbos which we did not want to violate with the sacrifice.
    As mentioned above the Rabbinic prohibition of tuma became enforced with the neis of Chanukah and that is the implication of the word tav, good in aramaic rather than tov, loshan hakodesh.

    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.

    Things happened out of their control and currently they are unable to pay, so they are not a rasha but an onas. Smerel the way you speak you must be a Republican. We are all in the same boat and either sail together or sink together. Borrowing money for education benefits the government as they will become a skilled worker able to pay taxes.

    Abortion by the goyim is murder but it is not necessary as they can be given up for adoption with nice compensation. I adopted a boy being 36 now and a girl 34 now. They are both shomrei torah umitzvas.

    Murder for whom? Look at the Rav Chezkuni in Parshas Mishpotim whose reasons I quoted. Rov are not viable until thirty days as in Pidyan Haben but no rov by goyim. Rashi says that a woman is executed with the baby in the womb being one entity as a calf in the womb needs no shechita. The gemora says the Jews were only commanded on the fetus heavenly.

    They support Democrats because they care for the average working person. We have nothing to do with LGBTQ and people do abortions as a last resort. By the Jews, it is not murder as it is not considered viable until born, money is paid on a loss of a baby and an execution was done together with the baby in the womb.

    As I proved above from Rabbenu Bachya, Rav Nasan Adler ztz’l above that Eis Laasos is not a general heter as Rav Steinzaltz sees it by changing the tzuras hadaf and elimination of hagohas. Every individual should evaluate his eis laasos. The litvishe tend to accomodate like tehilim, yud gimel midos at night and bima beamtza, whereas the chasiddishe see the reverse heferu torosecha eis laasos Hashem being steadfast and not budging an inch.

    An interesting shaila came about Rosh Chodash Chanukah where the baal tefila finished al hanisim but came to realize before finishing shmonei asrei that he forgot to say yaleh veyova, does he have to repeat al hanisim? I ruled that even though the individual would repeat it, the baal tefila going back to say yaaleh vayova but he already did his parsumei nissei and because of tirchei detziburei should not repeat it al hanisim again.

    Not everyone is suitable to be a morah horaoh, cherev muneches al tzavora, otherwise yegiah kapecha ki sachel yoser miyiras shomayim and there is the reason of eis laasos. Rav Nosan Adler ztz’l did not write a sefer only placed a mark on the margin to remember as he had a photographic memory. The Rabbenu Bachya in Parshas Ki Siso explains the meaning of chasurei mechsurei that originally it was unnecessary to write things done in detail but as the generations became weaker more required to be written down in detail, so things were left out on purpose.
