Parshas V’yechiei: Yaakov says to Yosef ” ????????? ?????????? ??? ?????? ????? .??????? ??? ??????????? ???????? ??????? ????? ????????? ???? ??? ???????” what does this expression mean: “I had not expected to see [even] your face, and behold, God has shown me your children too.”
There is a Gemara in Yevomas(60b) which says when one has immoral relations his face will have a greenish tinge(a sign of sin).So Yaakov was happy to see Yosef’s face was clear.However,that was not enough because there is a gemara in Shabbas(110) that brings down a concoction that if one drinks it his face will be clear of the greenish tinge. The gemara goes on to say that if one drinks it the side effect is sterility.
Now we can fully appreciate Yaakov’s words.It was a double reaction,one that your face is clear,and I see you have children(didn’t drink potion).This means that Yosef was pure of sin.(Chanukas HaTorah)
Dancing in front of the Aron.No children from then on.
bekitzur: What topic did Menahshe teach 55 times in different ways?

Interesting halacha sheila on wearing a hat(umbrella too) on shabbas in Shulchan Aruch and Mishna brura 301:40( http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14171&st=&pgnum=169&hilite=)
Mishna Brura 91:12(http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14170&st=&pgnum=247&hilite=)
The Torah says that Yosef gave Binyamin 300 pieces of silver. The question is why davka 300?
The Tosfos Hashalem answers that in mesches gittin(44a) it is brought down if someone sells his slave to a goy he has to pay back 10 times the value of the slave. In parshas Mishpatim it says if one’s animal kills someones slave they owe the owner 30 pieces of silver(worth of a slave is 30).We see from here that the brothers owe 300 pieces of silver (30*10),and Yosef hinted to them that this was a kenas(fine).
“A word for a coin,and silence for two” (Megilla 18)
“Even if your wife is short bend down and whisper to her”(ask her advice)- Bava Metzia 59
“One coin in a pitcher makes a lot of noise,but a pitcher full with coins is quite (Bava Metzia 85) I like these.
I forgot which gadol it was,before a bachur got married the gadol told him to come to his house and the gadol taught him how to boil water. He told him there will be a time when your wife cannot make you dinner and you should learn how to do it yourself.

The Bnei Yisschar brings down that for barren women it is a special time during Channuka and especially zos channuka (http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=4683&st=&pgnum=120&hilite=). The Gemara in Shabbas(23B) itself brings down a segula of having children who are talmidim chachmim by lighting as Rashi brings down from Mishlei(6) ner mitzva v’Torah ohr,ner mitvah = Shabbas,and channuka = Torah ohr.
There is absolutely no issur of wearing jeans if one can quote a source who says that is I will be surprised. I do believe that if one lives in a community where people all dress one way it is not the best thing to dress differently on purpose. People think the best way to dress is white shirt black pants,it is if you are part of place that does that ,but if one is not in that environment than wearing regular clothes is fine.
Who was Devorahs husband?
Writersoul: That was the question of the gemara of the same name and the gemara answers tahor tahor,tamei tamei.

what was Haman’s mother’s name,Dovid Hamelech mother’s name,Shimshon’s mothers name,and Shimshons sister’s name?
Chacham: I am not arguing on the sugya, I am just saying that from Rav Eliyashivs sefer it is good reasons and the story of Sam2 is hard for me to understand.
Sam2: I am sorry I don’t understand that story.If you read the tshuvah it doesn’t make sense he would say that in private only.I have a hard time with stories which happen in private,esp when their opnion is stated.
I think Rav Elyashiv makes it clear why we don’t wear it in his kovetz teshuvot 1:2 where he gives a few reasons.
Maacha
Og’s grandfather I believe was shemchazai (mesches niddah).

Yitay:I am sorry for not being clear, that’s what I meant when I said if she is by herself she is mechuyav and with her father or husband like a zman grama.
Sam2: maybe the gemara is davka talking about a king.
The Mishna Brura says that a woman is yotzai with the man of the house,but if she is by herself then she is mechuyav to light.He also says that if she wants to light then it is like any other mitzvas aseh sh’zman grama.See it here seif katan 9(http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14166&st=&pgnum=290&hilite=)
