Most Yeshivos will be closed tomorrow (for religious reasons).
Isaiah 3:16-17
The daughters of Zion? Too proud.
Their necks are outstretched to the cloud.
They make noise as they walk,
In the town they’re the talk,
And their makeup is awfully loud.
So these acts caused the Lord to see red.
He will smite them all hard on the head.
Those girls will then pay
For their haughty display.
And he’ll bare all that’s hidden, it’s said.

I think I once saw from Reb Chaim Vittal that if you don’t wear it over the head it is a Bracha Levatala.
I don’t know about the astrology of today’s astrologers, but as for having a Mazal, it plays a big role. With Teffila things can be changed. However, life span, children, and Parnasa are harder to change and have more to do with Mazal.
But what about Dovid Hamelech’s Kal Vachomer?
Since when is it a Mitzva!? It’s the point of the whole Torah and the whole creation! If you need a ‘Mekor’ that it’s a Mitzva look at Rashi in tomorrow’s Daf, where he discusses the Navi having music.
Pesach and Succos is a Machlokes. If you can handle strange Terutzim we can say Eilu V’eilu. Being that Avraham Avinu’s Pesach and Succos were not a Zecher of a past event he could have kept them any other time. Pirkei D’reb Eliezer says the Bris was on Yom Kippur.
What exactly are you critisizing about how he dealt with the hurricane? He did what he should have done. That’s all. No hero, no villain.
That’s not the whole reason of the Shofar, you know.
Anyhow, being Makriv the ram was materializing the will and determination that he built up to be Makriv his son. Rashi brings a Medrash that by each part of the Korban, Avraham Avinu said, “This should be as if I am doing it to my son.” He didn’t want to feel as if he is getting away with it. He therefore imagined the whole thing as if he was actually doing it to his son.
Chazal tell us that the ashes are placed in front of Hashem, and when we are in trouble He takes a look at it and remembers the Zchus of Klal Yisroel. The Korban of the ram was the tangible object of what Avraham Avinu wanted to do.
And of course, Hashem said that the rainbow is a Siman. He knows about light, wavelengths, prisms and water.
Thanks for changing mine (although it’s only mine).
What does FTFY stand for?
Sometimes an author wants to give a very original detail to sound somewhat exotic. The problem happens when they reuse the same ‘original’ detail over and over.
It doesn’t really link to the profile, it creates a link to coffeeroom/profile/screen_name which usually works out to be the profile.
The moon is always there. More of it being lit up doesn’t add any gravity. The reason it has an effect is that when it is full it is opposite the sun, and its pull is not countered by the sun.
Whoever thought that first comment was put here by a human is a FOOL! It shows that you don’t begin to understand anything about IPs, routers, electrons, semi-conductors, browsers, fiber-optics, keyboard coding, 32 bit and 64 systems, CPU clocks, FCC rules, and WordPress.
It’s actually pretty common. I don’t know what causes it. If you are right handed perhaps a good idea would be to make right all the more dominant in many aspects.
Take with your right, give with your right, pass with your right. When you walk outside pay attention to which side is on the right and walk there. I hope you’ll see results after 40 days (this is not a Segula).
Gevoa Motzo means where it is flowing from. Because its source is very high the underground waters flow upwards, as you described.
Coffee, you are now arguing an opinion. You are making another point completely. In other words, Maase Satan, as in the river by the Akeida or the vision of Moshe Rabbeinu’s Mita, does make sense. You just feel that it doesn’t apply here.
So why wouldn’t you be interested in seeing all the predictable comments that you can’t predict?
torah613, you knew about this comment!?
Wow! I’m definitely not that over here. Maybe RL is different. Let me check…
There is a parking crisis in Brooklyn, including or especially Boro Park. Until iit gets that name it won’t become a campaign issue and nothing will be done about it, other than penalizing those suffering from the problem.
You can search for an hour within a five block radius without finding a spot. Very often, just to circle one block can take 15 minutes. The congestion on the local roads are mainly from cars looking for parking.
Tell me my personality and then we’ll see if it’s the same.
My spelling in RL is much worse.
Why do we discuss such useless topics?
Oh mighty G-D…
Don’t be afraid to try it.
Actually nothing at all changed. We can’t bring Karbanos but I sure plan on doing so in the near future. We study Talmud, they studied Talmud; We Daven in a Shul, so did they. We have the same beliefs, the same goal, the same Torah, and the same family.
You can’t say Eilu Ve’eilu when the Shita was knocked down. When there is a Machlokess Abaye and Rava we say Eilu Ve’eilu, but when one asked and knocked it out it does not remain. There we say, K’sheim shemikablim S’char Al Hadrisha Kach Mekablim S’char Al Haprika.
The Gemara said of Reb Hillel’s words, Shara Lei Marei, Hashem should be Mochel him.
The first two.
Why don’t you try to guess my email address and I can bring the potential to fruition.
I know someone very good. I can’t post the email, though.
So without stealing the Flood would have come or wouldn’t have come?
I hope you wrote that before seeing my response.
Your Terutz on Noach is a cute Pshetl, but if the Kasha bothers you as it bothered me you would want a real answer as to how you can call someone who worked for 120 years in the face of ridicule and scorn, a Ktan Emuna.
The answer is that he obviously believed in Hashem and His abilities. However, he just couldn’t imagine it would really happen. He figured that in the last minute things would turn out, they’d get another chance, or they’ll all do Teshuva(, or it’ll turn out to be color war). Not unlike the way a child doesn’t take a parent’s threat seriously.
There are some more Eitzos, mentioned in “The Talking Coins”, but we aren’t allowed to discuss them yet.
The ???? ???? was because of idolatry and adultery but the decision to act was because of Gezel.
By the way, a question might not be Kfira but it can still be the Rasha’s question.
I think we disagree on what it means to define.
Aha. So you don’t really ‘hear’ a sound, since that would be a redundancy.
Historically, any select group with a unique Avodas Hashem where referred to colletively as Chassidim.
Who said anything about being miraculous? Of course it is natural but it depends on some circumstances that don’t have to be there. At that point the nature was tweaked to have the rainbow appear.
Check out the Ramban and the Gur Arye (among many others).
Kol Has’chalos Kashos. Just like you can’t enjoy the music from your violin when you first start taking lessons, your learning starts out as a burden.
In truth, you probably do already enjoy it in retrospect but you find it hard to get started. If this is the case you should keep reminding yourself that it does become enjoyable.
The more you can produce from your learning the more enjoyable it becomes. It can be through being Mechadesh, outlining a Sugya, sumarizing, Paskening.
And most importantly, learn what you enjoy. In your own time, don’t push yourself to learn the Yeshiva’s Masechta. Choose your Masechta or your own Limud (Nach, Ein Yaakov, Halacha, Seder Hadoros, Drush, Mussar, Machshava).
The Sefer Seder Hayom says to keep it in a place that you will see it, and it will be a Shmira.
Why not discuss it here?
Ilmalei Popa Ato…
As with any Mitzva in the Torah, there are many reasons and insights. The deeper something is the more ways there are to bring it out.
The basic idea is, as it says in the Torah: “With this you will remember that I sat you in booths when you left Egypt.” This refers to the clouds that surrounded us to protect and hide us, or to actual Succos according to some. But, as with all Mitzvos, we know that we don’t understand the full depth and reason.
Being in the Succah is being enveloped in a Mitzva of Hashem. After accepting Hashem’s kingdom and returning to Hashem with repentance, we go even further to be accepted by Hashem. Chazal say that on Succos we leave our permanent dwelling to enter a temporary one. We are realizing and playing out the fact that this world is only a anteroom to the world to come.
With the Succah we focus on the fact that we are under the protection of Hashem and that the whole world belongs to him.
Have a look at Shabbos 24 in the bottom Tosafos.
— and Gemara, and Rashi.
Not all Leviim go to wash the hands of the Kohanim, because not all Leviim are needed for this purpose.
42, what are you doing by the sink during Chazaras Hashatz?
Show, it’s printed in the beginning of Sefer Chasidim. Most things are without a reason and some seem to contradict open Gemaros. He made a Sefer Hakavod that explains it but we don’t have it.
Sam, are you perhaps confusing this with the Gemara about marrying a niece? Funny thing about that, though, is that you’d probably advise people against that.
I don’t find it to be a Kasha, that it used to be Muttar. Many things used to be Muttar.
