Wolfish, but you know what happened to them, Nebach.
Sam, different people keep different parts. Some parts are kept by almost everybody, and some parts are not kept by anybody. (For example, he says not to name a child Yehuda or Shmuel — his name and his father’s.)
Wow. Everyone is Mechaven to the same ‘Terutz’!
But Sof Davar, on Shabbos Mincha we are Maftir from Kesuvim.
Tzavaas Rebbe Yehuda Hachosid.
It is a Takana from the Neviim and it is a Ritzui for rain.
The floor is there to allow the Mechitzos. Gedi’im Bok’im ruins the Mechitza.
Aggadaicly, the floor fits right in, since the Succah is a Zecher to the Ananei Hakavod which were on six sides.
Over here the issue is more than using a stolen floor (which can’t be an issue because of Dal Ashteros Karnaim). The issue is the spot, which means the whole Chalal Hasuccah. On the other hand, being illegal to do something probably doesn’t translate into Gazul.
Is there an outcome yet?
Shlishi, the idea is probably that they don’t want to disregard the words of Chazal.
Sam, there is a Teshuva from Rav Kuk about Metzitza, where he says that a doctor has a Din of Safek and Divrei Chazal are Vadai.
See the Abravanel in the beginning of Yeshuos Meshicho. All those who are under the influence of the Arab rule are considered Bnei Yishmoel.

The Libs are trying to make sure it becomes a fact.
I heard of this idea from Reb Akiva Eiger, never from the Arizal. But I must say, don’t think the street or the common man was so holy in those, or in any, days.
One thing is more in our generation: we are, or we feel, a part of the world outside us. There have been good times, but now we are completely a part of it, especially in New York, where we are just one minority among many others.
There is also a very big Nesayon of Kfira, general and pointed. But this is not the first time and probably not the worst.
RabbiOfBerlin, Motzetz means sucking. Using a tube will still be called sucking but Sam’s other suggestion, squeezing, doesn’t fit.
Opinion is one thing. Attacking others publicly and inviting government intervention for his ‘opinion’ is beyond the pale.
A word about gravity:
Gravity is not unique to Earth or to any planet or heavenly body. The idea is that mass pulls mass. Two boats that are close enough will pull each other. Earth has more gravity than the moon and Jupiter has more than Earth.
The idea behind any planetary or satelite orbit is that the gravity of the center planet pulls the outer, orbiting object toward itself, while the centrefugle force of the orbit keeps it from going in to the center. That’s how Earth and all other planets of our galaxy orbit the sun.
Now, since the moon is only 6 times smaller than Earth it has an impact on Earth. Therefore, not only does the moon orbit around Earth, but Earth orbits around the moon as well, albeit in a small and not so noticeable way.
No. He punched him in the face to explain that when you touch down you realize it.
What is the number of consle sfnhujdhg?
Rashi actually did travel pretty much. He mentions his being in ‘Rusia’, and he gives a word from that language. By the building of the Beis Hamikdash by Shlomo Hamelech, Rashi writes by the word Yekev, dluta Berusia.
I can’t tell you about Spain, but when he defined a word it wasn’t from lack of knowledge, or from the process of elimination. He had a reason or a Mesora to define it as such. Which serious person would say, I only know of a few other grains so this must be it? Isn’t that the complaint against the Tcheiles? (There, at least he depended on the fact that he did research.)
Really it means Orzo. That’s how I Pasken — I make a Mezonos on Orzo.
Rashi does bring Arabic words, as well as German, Slavic and Russian.
Although finding a similar word in a different language is a good backup, it is not the be-all-end-all. Rashi gave a word because of what he was Mekabel or built from Raayos, not in a vacuum. Perhaps you can say that had he known of two languages with similar words that would have swayed his reasonning to translate it as such, but that’s it.
It is very likely that Rashi’s unclear
description may have come from the
simple fact that rice cultivation wasn’t
introduced into France until over 300
years after Rashi was nifter
Problem with that is that tosafos does say it means rice. Tosafos is not 300 years later.
You probably mean the Klausenburger Rebbe. The Satmarer Rebbe wasn’t in a DP camp.
WIY, there are a lot of thing to iron out. Gilgulim: which one gets the Neshama (Maggid Meisharim speaks about that one); second marriage: who goes back to whom, husbands first and wife’s second — then what; will you stick to your Rebbe who will be sticking to his?
zahavas, did you perhaps hit the wrong button?
Check out Sefer Chassidim, Siman 1129.
Tachrichim.
If the Rambam held that it is not physical, only spiritual, then you can only see it in a dream! Now, what does that say about me?
However it can be easily proven that Toran Min Hashomyim (Torah from Heaven) is indeed fom Heaven.
There is grammatical proof to that.
Actually, revisionist history is part of the proof. If someone would try to claim something about the past nobody can stop him but there will be many claims to the contrary. Nobody until recent generations questioned the veracity of the Torah’s account. We’ve had many groups of dissenters but none of them argued on the Torah’s account.
After a while it beccomes too late to start neww theories. Nobody can now claim the Civil War didn’t happen. Had someone made such a claim at that time there would be what to discuss. The same goes for holocaust deniers. If they would have found people with their view that had access to know the truth, that would make their claim less ridiculous.
Something to keep in mind:
The Gemara says that the reason the letter Heh has an opening on top is to show that when you do Teshuva you don’t have to go back to where you came from. Turn around where you are and you are accepted.
I would suggest joining a Minyan for Rosh Hashana as a step for right away. This is besides following The Wolf’s advice.
So that’s what it boils down to? If you feel that it will make you happy you believe it, other wise you don’t!?
Sam, but is it Muttar Lehatzil Bimemono?
The three second rule: it should take three seconds for your car to get to where the car ahead of you is now, at you current speed. If you are moving slowly you should allow enough space to be able to see the bottom of his wheels.
Murphy’s books should be banned! Look how many people were Nichshal.
You mean you want proof that the Torah is true? You didn’t specify that.
I don’t know if you ended up contacting an Orthodox rabbi experienced in kiruv. Until then I would suggest that while exploring more about Judaism through reading, you should probably refrain from innovating religious practices.
The Torah was given to us by Hashem to refine us, to make us worthy of the world to come and worthy of His closeness even on this world. It is not a tool of our own. While following the Torah is fulfilling, that is not our stated goal.
There is nothing wrong with the idea of meditating on true Torah concepts. But it is important to keep things in perspective; to keep the mundane and the sacred separate.
Paul Harvey said, “When there’s a 50/50 chance that something will go wrong, nine out of ten times it will.”
It says so in the Torah.
For people who “harmonize” when they have no idea what they are doing, there is no Eitza. If you try to tell them they are off tune they now “know” that you know nothing about music.
For ThisName, you can put in the meanwhile, “Subtitle still available”.
Sam, the Maharal explains that Gemara about Veyashavti Al Kivro. He says that it is referring to Yerushalayim, where Hashem applied the logic of Ben Sorer Umorer and Ir Hanidachas.
Coffee, the Vav is for Ume’a.
If you have two, it’s obvious that you hated the first. Why else would you take another?
147, I wouldn’t feel so comfortable starting up with the Arizal; nor with all the Tanaim and Amoraim who were fine with Aramaic being the language on the street and even composing some prayers in that language when they wanted everyone to understand.
An Asifa is not a discussion. You can not have a discussion with 20 people. You don’t need an Asifa to start an organization, either.
You can still ask that he technically didn’t deserve it. The Gemara in Sanhedrin asks this and answers that it will never happen.
I think this was once discussed here before, in the days of mod80.
