The Rambam brings down in Hilchos Bikkurim that bikkurim has no shuir, but the Rabbanim say to give 1/60.

The Yo’ir Kino brings proofs for this number of 1/60.There is a gemara in kesubos(111b)which says even a barren tree in eretz yisroel will produce two donkey loads of produce.We then have a gemar in B.M(80a) which says a donkey load is 15 sa’ehs.The mishna in Bikkurim(1:11) says even if one has only one tree they are obligated to bring bikkurim.Lastly, we have a mishnah in keliem (12:3) that says a tenneh(basket)has a capacity of 1/2 of a sa’eh.

So if one has only one tree the minium amount of produce he will have is 30 sa’eh (two loads of 15).Then when the Torah says to bring a tenneh which is a half a sa’eh the amount comes out to be 1/60.

The Baal Hatturim says the pasuk alludes to 1/60:1)the word tenneh equls 60.2)samech =(60) is the only letter missing from the parsha of bikkurim .

Kid,or adult this is yeshiva world not new york times.

Do not forget there are four layers Pshat,remez ,drush and sod.In one realm one may think it is inapplicable,but in essence it has extreme importance.

In this weeks parsha there is a pasuk which at first glance seems to be out of order, but with Rashi and Targum Yonason’s explanation there is no misplacement.The pasuk says when I will bring you to mokem zeh(Rashi says this means the Bais HaMikdash)and then says I will give you the land of Eretz Yisroel.The question that could be asked is that Klal Yisroel entered Eretz Yisroel and then got the Bais HaMikdash later why then is the Bais HaMikdash mentioned first? If one goes back to Sefer Shemos to the pasrsha of Korban Peasach one will see a fascinating Targum Yonason. He brings down that Klal Yisroel flew on kanfei nesharim to the mokem HaMikdash to do the mitzvah of Korban Peasach and then went back to mitzrayim.Since Klal Yisroel was at the sit of the Bais HaMikdash first that is why it is mentioned first.

As a side note, one can say that Moshe Rabbeniu entered Eretz Yisroel before his ban on entering Eretz Yisroel.(There is another source for this concept in the parsha of the Meraglim)

I find oot people to be more relaxed and not on edge.People from New York are always on the move.That being said,everyone is different and no generalization can be made(just from my experience).

I meant Targum Yonason my mistake,sry.

The baal Haturim holds that if a woman wears a tallis or teffilin they are oiver on kli gever al haisha.If one asks how about michal,the Levush brings down that a bas melech is excluded from kli gever.

Just to be clear the buddah is not worshiped by everyone(buddhsim).I believe hinduism worships buddah. Also if you walk into a store and it has a cross does it mean you have to walk out.In most places these symbols are only used as decoration and not worship.

Interestingly,the Baal Haturim explains that the words kli gever al isha = Kli Torah (remez shelo yilmod adom l’bito Torah)

R’Yonatan said he saw and sat on the matzevah of a ben sorer umoreh.The question is how is it possible if the Tanna Kama said it will never happen? One answer is that he was referring to Avshalom who had a din of a ben sorer umoreh( according to the medrash) and R’Yonatan was explaining that this is what happens if one does not kill a ben sorer umoreh as a child.Another answer given is that the Tanna Kamma agrees that a child was killed, but it was a mistake because it was impossible for all the pratim of a ben sorer umoreh to happen all at once.(sefer Mrafsin igri). As a side note the word get(divorce document) is never mentioned in the Torah.Furthermore the letters of the word get, a gimmel and a tet never touch each other throughout the Torah because the essence of the word is to separate.(Vilna Gaon)
