The Satmar Rav ztz’l said that one who kisses a Sefer Torah and does not believe in Hashem, makes the Sefer Torah an a’z, so if one is out for Israel (zionism) and does not believe makes Israel an a’z.
Listening to the Republicans gives them power as well.
Biden might become different when he becomes president, a safek whereas Trump we know who he is, a vaday. On this we say, ein safek motzei midei vaday, the vaday rules over the safek.
By the goyim we go after the father instead of the mother.
I believe him more than the one who has lied over 20,000 lies thtoughout his presidency.
A smart person is not afraid to listen to the others advice which he disagrees with in order not to have tunnel vision. The Midrash Shmuel explains tbat the Beis Hilel wanted because of their humility, which they kearned from their rebbi, allow the Beis Shamai to reveal their view first before they let their own view be known, thereby the Beis Shamai also became praiseworthy by helping the Beis Hilel arrive to the truth.
Biden said clearly that he does not support the Green New Deal as it is too expensive.
He went inside where he has his servants.
What is the use of davening for him when he endangers himself again? We should daven when healed,
Hashem should give him proper understanding to protect himself and not remove proudly his mask when returning back to the WH encouraging others to also remove it and thereby infecting each other.The word sukkoh, as explained by the Lacmei Todah (son of the Haflaoh), is made up of two parts mercy (26) and judgement (din, 65) where the mercy in the middle breaks up the din.
Syag, your sarcasm is appreciated. It does not mean that you live your life in fear but also don’t endanger yourself by getting into crowds like your president without proper mask wearing and social distancing. When he arrived back to the WH, he proudly removed his mask revealing his lack of concern for whom he will infect.
Sukkah is against all the 613 mitzvos. It says at end of Koheles that keeping the mitzvos is against the human being consisting of 248 body parts (aivorim) and 365 senews (gidim). The mitzva of sukkah is performed with one’s body made up 613 parts.
HIE, It says לעולם יהי’ אדם, first be a mentch which you admit Trump is not. Biden will rely on good advisors whereas Trump fires his best advisors thinking that he knows better than anyone else.
Mask alone is not enough. It requires also social distancing.
It says כל עצמתי תאמרנה ה’ מי כמוך, my whole body praises Hshem for His being by indicating to shake our whole body when davening as the lulav is being shaken resembling the spine.
Trump likes Trump not Jews and Blacks.
resident, you are like your president, projecting. You are faulting someone with your own faults,
כל הפוסל במומו פוסל.Rabbi of Crawley, if I were you, I would not speak of extreme poor communication with your contradictory tenses in the title of this topic.
There is no hakoras hatov for an ausworf, a dispecable person who does everything for his own benefit.
See the Open Letter of Rav Shafran of the Aguda on his website.Sam1, you forgot to mention the 31.4% second quarter GDP contraction and 26.8 Trillion National Debt from the National Debt Clock. It increased by 5.2 Trillion since Trump took office. By neglecting the virus more than 20 million people are on unemployment and how many businesses went bankrupt? Deficit over 3 Trillion this year.
Joe Biden will not fire his best advisors like Trump who thinks that he knows everything better than anyone else. The smart person does not constantly interupt the other only the one who has an inferiority complex.
There is the danger of touching your face. I validated this with a morah horaoh and it is not like sweat that the SA forbids.
The Olalos Ephraim (Klei Yokor) has a nice mashel based on the pasuk karmi shli lo nitorti, I did not protect my own vineyard which combines the sukkah and lulav. A king sends his servants overseas to tend a big vineyard. As he realizes that it takes a long time to see results, he also gives them some small vineyards to support themselves. The servants recognizing that they need teamwork to see results from the big vineyard, give up the working on it completely by caring only for the small vineyards which is only temporary whereas the big vineyard could last lifetimes with crop rotation. The big vineyard is being destroyed. The king gives out two edicts to rectify this. One, once a year, they have to leave their home and live in the big vineyard to see its destruction and two, giving them a symbol to remember the importance of teamwork.
The nimshal, the big vineyard is the next world and the little vineyard is this world. Once in the beginning of the year we are reminded the importance to work for the next world through doing mitzvas by leaving our home and entering the sukkah and we are given a symbollsm for teamwork through the lulav which is required in their performance. This also explains why we make a bracha on the lulav in the sukkah.If you remove the arava from the lulav, eventually you will need to knock it off.
A prizbul was instituted for tikun olam in order that people should not avoid lending because of
shamita.1, You can be ashamed of yourself. My writing this, if someone gets sick because of you, you violate the prohibitiion of לא תעמוד על דם רעך don’t be responsible for the blood of your fellow man. Even a safek pekuach nefesh is dacheh shabbos and Yom Kippur. On this it says סיג לחכמה שתיקה silence is golden. You are smarter than all doctors. You contribute to a Chilul Hashem. See Bobov-45 Rebbi wearing a mask at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/1905396/watch-it-nyc-health-dept-mentions-viral-photo-of-bubobovich-rebbe-wearing-mask.html
On Yom Kippur we were able to use hand sanitizer to protect ourselves from geting sick.
What can of Ohev Yisroel is that who gives a voice to white nationalists?
More of the above Open Letter:
Moral degradation infects a broad swath of the American political spectrum. In the camps of both liberals and conservatives, many political players are on a hyper-partisan quest for victory at all costs.
Good character and benevolent governance are devalued, contrition is seen as weakness and humility is confused with humiliation. Many politicians and media figures revel in dividing rather than uniting the citizens of our country. Others legitimize conspiracy theories. None of this is good for America, and certainly not for us Jews.
Shameless dissembling and personal indecency acted out in public before the entire country are, in the end, no less morally corrosive than the embrace of abortion-on-demand or the normalization of same-gender relationships. The integrity and impact of what we convey to our children and students about kedusha, tzni’us, emes, kavod habriyos and middos tovos are rendered hollow when contradicted by our admiration for, or even absence of revulsion at, politicians and media figures whose words and deeds stand opposed to what we Jews are called upon to embrace and exemplify.
These are not new problems. But the challenge seems to grow worse with time. If we don’t stop to seriously consider the negative impact of our community’s unhealthy relationship with the current political style, we risk further erosion of our ability to live lives dedicated to truly Jewish ideals.
From the Open Letter of Rav Shafran of the Aguda:
We must ensure that Israel is not used as a political weapon.
We must oppose efforts to turn support for Israel from a broad consensus into a wedge issue. Although we may rightly be concerned about trends regarding Israel in some corners, indicting an entire party as anti-Israel is not only inaccurate but has the potential of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Nor should any party’s strong support for Israel become a justification to blindly support its politicians in every other matter. We should advocate for Israel’s security and other needs without painting ourselves into a partisan corner.
We should vote as Jews, not partisans.
I made a shidduch together with my wife a’h, where I knew the groom and she the bride, so see if you can do the same.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. A minyan should follow the proper rules of masks wearing and social distancing.
It is worth reading the suggested Open Letter above from Rav Shafran of the Aguda and others on his website.
It must be kolu lo chadoshov, until thirty days is a safek whether it lives.
Even pidyan haben is only at thirty days.
Looked Rav Shafran’s of the Agudah and others’ Open Letter how character maters.
The Maharsha is in Sanhedrin (57,2) where it says that a ben noach gets killed on uborun (fetus).
I explained above that the difference between a Jew and a goy is whether we go after rov.
The mishnah in Erachin (7,1) says that we don’t wait to kill the mother until the child is born. Explains Rashi that the mother and child is one entity. The Chezkuni Shmos (21,22) says that from here we see that a child is considered a new creation at birth when it comes outside otherwise only money is paid.
