    When it comes to hakoras hatov intentions do matter. Moshe Rabbenu was afraid of Og king of Bashan for saving Lot and he was told not to be afraid because his intention was that Avraham get killed to marry Sarah.

    The Chezkuni has a very interesting pshat on above kashye in believing in Hashem. Vayachsheveho lo tzedaka means that Avraham considered it a favor for himself, thinking that he is not worthy of it.

    When there are unforeseen circumstances as coronavirus, the intent of the legislature in judgement becomes important and they cannot follow the letter of the law even textualists.

    This judges are wrong. Not for nothing it says chesed veemes yekadmu panecha, Hashem places kindness before truth. When we have coronavirus, unexpected by the legislature, the law cannot be interpreted as written and allowances must be made in voting.

    According to the Woodward tapes, Kushner violated halacha by advising not to listen to doctors in April, where it says for Shabbos and Yom Kippur (SA O’CH 328,10 and SA O’CH 618,1) to follow the doctors.

    Toi, maybe you are crazy. I formed my opinion because of Trump’s behavior. I don’t think you would want your children to learn from his constant lying and general character. He has contributed to tbe death of thousands by downplaying COVID-19. see why to vote for Trump being a melech kasha kehaman https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/trump-winning. He thinks he knows everything better than anyone else by firing his best advisors when they disagree with him. This is not
    Torah view.

    Read tbe Open Letter on Rav Shafran’s website implying to vote for Biden signed by him and others including Rabbi Emanuel Feldman previous rabbi of Atlanta, GA author of Tales Out of Shul, a hilarious account of converting his conservative congregants to orthodoxy.

    common sachel, to comment on something it is good to read it. The letter says use Torah values, character, lealom jeheh adam, to vote which applies to any electiion anywhere.

    One of the undesigned on the above Open Letter is Rav Emanuel Feldman (1927) who was Rav in Atlanta, GA, the author of Tales Out of Shul. A hilarious story of his ability to bring conservative congregants to orthodoxy with his clever means.

    The Democrats provide religious freedom not the Republicans because those being too religious require everyone to join their religion. It is not good for us when they are too religious.

    The Rabbenu Bachaya explains the difference between a doctor where it says verapah yerapeh with a ‘peh’ heavy, whereas by Hashem it says rofecha with a ‘feh’ light. Hashem’s cure is light but a doctor’s
    is hard. By a doctor there is a double expression whereas by Hashem a single one. A doctor leaves side effects requiring to go back to heal. I also heard that we should seek a second opinion which are by Hashem unnecessary.

    I was mechaven to the Radak on the above pasuk Tehilim (29,10) who says that there will be a time similar to the time of the flood. People say אם אין קמח, אין תורה holding the Radak on the level of flour necessary for sustenance as the Torah.

    It is interesting to compare Yonah and Noach. The peoole in Nineveh respected Yonah and listened to him whereas Noach who built the ark for five years was seen as an old fool.

    In Eretz Yisroel there was no mabul, so why not send Noach and his family there? Maybe he had to earn his keep by feeding the animals.

    We see ourselves the opposte of Darvin. Darvin saw the monkeys turning into humans seeing generations becoming smarter whereas we, if we don’t behave according to the Torah, by being further away from Kabolas Hatorah as the our religiosity diminishes through time , turn ourselves into monkeys. The Binah Leitim interprets the statement in Pirkei Avos, חיה רעה בא לעולם על שבועת שוא, wild animal comes to the world because of swearing falsely. They are here on the world? He says, one not using his mouth correctly, turns himself into a wild animal.

    The Tiferes Yonasan by Rav Yonasan Eibshutz says after the mabul the dor haflogah wanted to escape to the moon as they knew that it is a makom yishuv, inhabitable. They wanted to create a spaceship to travel there. There was no mabul in EY somehow tbe mabul affected the winds to travel there and Noach had to earn his keep in tbe ark to be saved by feeding the animals.
    His piety is argued on whether absolute or relative to his generation. Was there a window or a precious stone used for light in the ark? According to the Chasam Sofer this is dependent on tbe above whether he was worthy to see through the window the destruction of the wicked.
    Rashi says that Noach only entered the ark because of water pressure indicating that he was in doubt in the coming of the mabul. It matters where the comma is placed. אף נח מקטני אמונה היה מאמין. If you place the comma after מאמין, it is interpreted that Noach trusted the less believers that they will repent and therefore there will be no flood as the was increased in strength.
    But why do we judge him for the bad when we can judge him for the good? Maybe the meaning is that if he stayed in his current piety status in Avraham’s generation, he would not been worthy anything because he should have changed by learning from Avraham Avinu how to deal with people over his grandfather Chanoch who hid himself from his generation.
