Even if there was fraud, there was not enough to overturn the election.
The Rabbenu Bachaya in Parashas Vayechi explains that Yaakov refers to the physical whereas Yisroel the spiritual, so both are true.
Yaakov + Satan = 182 + 359 = 541 = Yisroel. Yaakov by fighting the Satan encompasses his power.Mortal, you talk about lying, Trump’s every utterance is a lie.
Hashem created an ozone layer protecting us from the sun. Carbon emission destroys it.
cofee addict, look at the Klei Yokor Vayikro (11,4) how Aisov is compared to the chazir referring to a midrash.
coffee addict, The holy Ohr Hachaim in Parashas Shemini says Hashem will create a new chazir which will be mutar. Why?
It says והיה ה’ למלך על כל הארץ Hashem will be King, it does not say מושל, ruler. The difference they say is the a king is accepted whereas a ruler is forced. So Aisov will accept leosid lova, the rule of Hashem by doing teshuva.
Keeping shabbos does not mean that we can phycally destroy the environment given to us. As Hashem transferred the climate function to nature, olam keminhoga nohag, we might not be worthy to create a miracle to change the effect of our actions.
הצילנו נא מיד (בראשית לב,יב) – ר’ת המן, הוציאה ממסגר נפשי (תהלים קמ’ב) – המן
Aisov is fake like a chazir showing his cut hoofs. Sometimes Aisov behaves like Yakov to fool us and catch us off guard. Leosid Lova, the chazir wiil be permited as a it will become a new creation being maalas gero, rechew. Aisov will do teshuva.
AG Barr himself said that he has no evidence to prove that fraud was in the election.

Rash in Parshas Noach, mishom hefitzom differentiates between dor hamabul and dor hafloga. Dor hamabul was destroyed because of lack of unity but by dor hafloga the unity protected them and they got punished by breaking up the unity. The Sifri says from Ephraim (Hoshea 4,17) that peace protects even from a’z. If there is no unity in a shul, Hashem escapes from there as I and him cannot reside in a one place.
avreichamshlomo, I have a problem with that as he will never reach the highest level (through 25 levels) and will be constantly in gilgul. We must be a benuni, middle of the level which is different by everyone.
How does a person gain a higher level of neshama in Gan Eden? Maybe through the children and talmidim left behind as it says, holech tomim it does not say holach in the past, so he can continue elevating himself even after death.
I explain from the Sefer Habris the 25 levels of neshama. Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Chayah, Yechidah, starting from nefesh shebenefesh, ruach shebenefesh, etc. As a person elevates himself, the yetzer hara becomes stronger, כל הגדול מחבירו יצרו גדול ממנו, so he gains a higher level of neshama in order to balance each other and be able to fight it on an even level.
Above it should be, if for no effort.
The answer is that we come to this world to fight the yetzer hara by improving ourselves and others and for that there is reward and punishment. The reward and punishment indicates how much nachas ruach, enjoyment we give to Hashem in doing mitzvos.
The Baal Haikrim combines the 13 beliefs of the Rambam into 3. One, belief in Hashem, two, reward and punishment and three, the Torah is heavenly. If for know effort a person gained olam habo, reward and punishment would be completely eliminated.
When everything is received free, we don’t appreciate, have hakoras hatov, what is given to us. People don’t have to better themselves because they believe they deserve it and it is coming to them.
ENS, well written and expressed.
Torahval, The Torah requires us to do everything possible when it comes to pikuach nefesh as safek pikuach nefesh trumps Shabbos and Yom Kippur. When tzadikim of all ages are dying all over, we have the utmost responsibility to protect ourselves and others in anyway possible.
Edited
jewish123, we differentiate the reference to Hashem and to an idol by showing respect through capitalizing the reference to Hashem.
The question is, why the neshomo should come to this world to earn its keep and not enter olam habo right away? The neshomo does not want nehama dekesufa, bread of shame, free bread without working for it.
CTLAWYER, I agree with everything you said.
charlie, it says that listening to the Torah is the true freedom חרות על הלוחת אל תקרא חרות אלא חרות not as ‘o’ sound, meaning the letters carved, under the ches but ‘ei’ meaning freedom. A person controlled by the yetzer hara, bad inclination, is not really free.
Benephraim, I try to answer your kashyeh, the 4 are mesim even currently, but that was a onetime situation.
Maybe it should be “Give me liberty and give me death”. If you have liberty not to watch for corona, you can die ch’v.
No at my time Rav Yosef Steiner Hakohen was the Dayin but I knew him. You know, ein mashivin al hadrush, you can ask but I don’t have to answer. I asked Rav Yosef whether you can put food on radiator before its get hot. Rashi goes by the time being there but the Rosh goes by the place according to which we pasken and would not be allowed.
A cute double entendre I heard:
How שלוחו של אדם כמותו – a messenger of person is like himself. How is it that Adam Harishon did not die right away? One answer is 1000 years of Hashem is like a day. Another by being chased out of the Gan Eden is like dying.
health, you should feel good as you are like Trump considering everyone else crazy.
rational, that is why I mistakenly thought that this is also the litvish derech halimud.
Instead of being exemplary, Trump has been downplaying the virus from day one and now suggesting to gather together for Thanksgiving Day when over 2000 die a day. He has gone AWOL for coronavirus not caring who gets infected.
I think your explanation above is similar to the Targum Yonathan. Rachel says, you will not be able to deal with him because he is a trickster, Yakov answers I am also a trickster and smarter from him and Hashem will not allow him to do bad to me.
Is your rebbi around? Why don’t you ask him? Semicha is a reshus by your rebbi to pasken.
Hashem wanted that Yaakov Avinu be fooled in order to get down to mitzraim. The holy Alshich explains the meaning of the pasuk arami oved avi vayered mitzraim. If Yaakov would not have been fooled, then he would have married Rachel first, Yosef would have been the bechor, there would have been no place for jelousy to sell him and no reason to go down to mitzraim.
The problem Coumo had being one sided allowing others what he forbid the religious. If he would have forbidden it to everyone, no suit would have been possible.
There was a chidud for a Bar Mitzva אור לארבעה עשר בודקין את החמץ לאור הנר after thirteen towards fourteen, a Bar Mitzvah boy must watch out against the yetzer hara by monitoring his behavior.
When a person speaks during davenen, says the holy Zohar in Parashas Terumah, breaks unity up as above by revealing his ego, showing that he does not care for others, and drives Hashem out who resides where there is unity.
The Bnei Yisoschor says that lo motzo monoach, as Monoach was an am haaretz, so no am haaretz was found. Everyone knew whoever hurts the Bnei Yisroel will be elevated.
The ladder united, through its rungs, according to the Ksav Sofer, teaches us how a human being can elevate himself from the ground to the heaven with the help of others. Sulom full with a ‘vov’ is the same gematria as kol, tzom and moman each 136 together 408 as the be’zos’ yova Aharon which refers to teshuva, tefila and tzadah. Yaakov Avinu united all the rocks into one matzeva.
Yaakov Avinu realized that the thing that separates holiness is the ego, אנכי עומד בין ה’ וביניכם, says the Baal Shem Tov ztz’l that the ego, anochi separates us from Hashem. אכן יש ה’ במקום הזה, I said, if we want holiness in a place, ואנכי לא ידעתי we must set aside the anochi, the ego.Beephraim, you should be sorry but not to me but gedalim using this technique, The Arizal, Binah Leitim, Rav Nasan Adler ztz’l, Chasam Sofer etc.
