The Maharal explains that he is worse than a murderer who is killed for a single, specific murder. He is being killed Al Sheim Sofo. That means we see in him now his actions of the future.
There are plenty of mamarei Chazal about Malachim being punished. I don’t know what you were trying to prove from kedushin, but the gemara in BB, that I was coming off, doesn’t say that as a rule his work is Lishma. If that were the case Hashem wouldn’t slaughter it.
The Gemara says that the Satan acted twice L’shem Shamayim. Don’t overdo his Tzidkus. Do you really think the sinking off the whole Malchus Yisroel and its demise was Lishem Shamayim?
Weather you accept that Terutz from the Satmar Rav zt”l or not, don’t mock his words as a Shita of Avoda Zara.
Instead of sending money to have someone say your name for 180 days at a kever, support a mosod!!!
Instead of sending money to have a plaque, support a mosod!!! Same idea.
I think it’s a bit weird, but I can’t see anything wrong with it. However, realize that you are mixing in unrelated things. You ask that Hashem Bentch you, your spouse, your hosts and your parents. This means that Hashem should have them, personally, in mind. However, just like in the ‘Harachaman Hu Yishlach Lanu Bracha Meruba Babayis Hazeh V’al Shulchan Zeh She’achalnu Alav’ we don’t say Hu Yevarech Es Hashulchan, you shouldn’t really say Yevarech Es Hachatul. But I can’t say there is something wrong.
My post over there is still pending, so I’ll try it here:

Actually, there is a once a year blessing (from the third category) on the blossoming trees. In that blessing we include all creatures. There is no specific blessing thanking for animals since there is no starting point. Upon waking up, however, there is a blessing for giving the rooster the capacity to discern day from night. This is because it is a specific point that we derived a benefit from the animal. On the other hand, even in times when we depended on horses and cattle there was no designated blessing of thanks for them.
As to the other meaning of blessing, to bless a person, when a person is blessed his property is blessed. You don’t have to separately bless his belongings. You can enumerate, as the Torah does, that your children should be blessed and your animal and fields should be blesssed. This is not the same as blessing them. It is a blessing on you about them.
Any animal foreign to you would get that blessing. The example given is an elephant and a monkey.
He is supposed to cry seven tears and three smiles. If there’s not enough time, three tears will sufice and he may smile simultaneously. :.)
To clear up a few issues:
Most often, when we refer to blessings, we are actually talking about blessing, or thanking, Hashem. There are different classes of blessings:
- Blessings on Mitzvos (commandments)
Before performing almost any Mitzva we thank Hashem for giving us that Mitzva and for the opportunity to perform it.
- Blessings on benefits
Before eating we make a short blessing and after eating we make a longer blessing. Not every enjoyment gets a blessing. There is no blessing for talking to a friend or listening to music. Basically, only something that is consumed and used gets a blessing, including smelling enjoyable fragrance.
- Blessings of praise
When we experience something outstanding or unusual, if it is on the list, we recite this type of blessing. On this list is: hearing personally good news, or bad news; visiting a site of a miracle; hearing thunder; seeing lightning, the ocean, untouched landscape, odd creatures, and a long lost friend. There is also a list of blessings recited every day, thanking Hashem for the ability to wake, for being who we are, for eye-sight, clothing, an erect posture, free movement, dry land, the ability to walk, shoes, strength, appearance and energy.
Separately, the everyday prayers were designed to cover all our very basic necessities. If there is something on your mind that you want to ask of Hashem you may ask at any time of the day in any language. Although, there is a benefit to asking in Hebrew. Likewise, you can always express gratitude, in any language, about anything that made you happy, even if there is no prescribed blessing for that.
The idea of prescribed prayers is that they are composed in the perfect model of prayer.
A lot of the breaks are there because of seasonal inserts. For example, between Modim and Ve’al Kulam; then again before vechol Hachayim. That’s how Chanuka and Purim affected Rosh Hashana Davenning. Even the Machzor leaves a space for Ve’al Hanisim.
yitay, keep in mind that She’ila doesn’t help after the Nazir finished
his Nezirus. Only according to Rebbe Eliezer, that holds that a Nazir
keeps all his Halachos until his Taglachas, can he be Shoel at that
stage. The Gemara in Shavuos says this.
Yeshno Besh’ila means that it has an inborn element of Dechiya.
I found that there me be some blessings after the the New Year during that week that Parashat Noah (or Noach) is the Torah portion
What do you mean by that?
Why don’t you post your song here and we’ll all opine our ideas of the best fitting chords?
The same reason why on Jewish music albums, a quick song is followed by a slow one, for variation.
The Rambam uses Siluk Hashgacha as an Onesh. That allows for natural causes to harm the person to the extent that he deserves. This is perfectly in sync with what Chazal say about Me’elyon Lo Tetze Hara’os. But this is not really relavent.
Sam, there is nothing unnatural about the most basic element of Moshiach — the recognition by all nations of the greatness of Hashem, the truth of His Torah, and the people he chose.
As I pointed out in the past, the point of Shmuel, and the Rambam, is that the laws of nature will not be different. The Hatzlacha and Hashgacha Protis, at least on the level that it was during the time of the Nevi’im, is not disputed. Don’t forget that Moshiach is the greatest Navi, and a Navi is proven with Nissim. That doesn’t mean the laws of nature will be abolished.
I don’t really get the theme. If somebody is a Talmud Chacham, you respect him. Is this color war?
Here’s a couple of Kushyos. One of the ways a Sheid is similar to an angel is that it can appear in many forms, so why those foot prints? Also, since they can fly, we know from the Sugya of Joseph Shida, why the prints? Third, if they’re all over the place why only at night and around the bed? And lastly, why ash and not flour?
(But if you’re really scared you can always hold like the Rambam that they never existed or the Gra that they no longer exist.)
So those Sheidim that the protagonist in your story saw didn’t hold like them. That reminds me of the saying, a barking dog doesn’t bite. And the retort, you and I know it but the dog doesn’t.
By the way, where is that Gra?
Sam, was there any description gleaned?
Don’t be nervous. I’ll IYH be on time. OK?
I’ve also heard of putting crushed garlic, that was not crushed or chopped by metal. I’ve heard of the vinegar, too. Soak every day for about 10-15 minutes. Also, cut down on sugar.
cocaroach as big as your hand
Sounds like you live in the tropics. Is that the only creature you found?
Sam, that might only apply to Zugos. If I remember correctly this is indicated in Be’er Hagola of the Maharal.
In a letter againt Avraham Chiyun, the Baal Smichas Chachamim complains that in the night he whistles, a known practice among Sheidim worshippers.

What I quoted above is actually a Tosfos Harosh. Tosfos does entertain the idea that a woman is allowed to judge. He also says that perhaps she was Shofetes Al Pi Hadibur, or that she didn’t judge on her own, rather she taught the Dayanim what to Pasken. Then he brings from a Yerushalmi that learns from a Passuk that she may not judge.
This is in Nida 50, the top Tosafos.
Kozov, he speaks for exactly what took place on this thread. Not much was added to the conversation,a pertaining to the OP, after BPT so eloquently answered the question.
Is it also an Issur Gamur for Bachur to stay in yeshiva for Shavuos?
What about a woman going to a Rebbe herself on a Shabbos or Rosh Chodesh?
You quoted one Tshuva, which was expressing a feeling rather than a Halacha, and you are trying to use that against many thousands of Yidden who travel, men only, to their Rebbes every Rosh Hashana. This is going on for hundreds of years, by many great and famous Rebbes and Poskim. If you have an issue with the fact that Reb Nachman is not alive, keep the argument to that, please.
What I wrote earlier is what I thought I remembered. By now I verified with a friend or participant what Rejection and Tajik said. Eventually, they ended up dancing with the cop in the street. (Doesn’t make me sick. One man’s soup is another man’s poison…)
“hello world”
Ohr Chodesh, that’s not really all that similar. Tosafos explains that they were Mekabel her.
I don’t think Kedusha translates as inspiration.
The Sefer Maggid Meisharim says that Reb Shimon enjoys when you learn at his Tzion. The Gemara is clear about the merit of praying by Kvarim. The Arizal expounded on the Kedusha one gets from being Mishtatei’ach on Kivrei Tzadikim, and Talmidei Habaal Shem even more so.
This thread has taken a turn from questioning going to Kivrei Tzadikim on Rosh Hashana to poking fun at the words of Gedolei Achronim, Rachmana Litzlan.
Health, so you do believe that if a woman is physically washed out but mentally alert, she should or could learn?
As a side note, I don’t recall a Halacha dictating which voluntary Mitzva that is not before you, you must do, other than the preferances in Tzadaka. Do you have an example in mind?
With your argument, you are negating any woman. But there were famous Melumados that we know, and probably a lot more that we don’t know of.
Why would the Heter of Mitoch work for a woman? When you are Mechuyav to learn, Lishma, you should do whatever you could to get there, even if it means learning Shelo Lihma. But if you don’t have that Chiyuv then it’s not Nitan Lidachos.
But, going with the famous Tosafos Pshat that the Shelo Lishma of Noach Lo Shelo Nivra is not the same Shelo Lishma of Leolam Yilmod, there is no Issur in the first place.
ybrooklyn,
Baruch Hashem that you ended up embarrased rather than embarrasing someone.
— I see now that Oomis addressed this already. I don’t mean to pile it on.
Big deal. They had Admin’s permission.
Moski, that came after ZeesKite’s announcement.
Syag, what made you think of it?
ZK, why would you be embarrased? Besides, everyone here knows your screen name.
It also means that your connection is working.
According to Tosafos it applies to tying only, therefore on velcro shoes you would close the right one first, or perhaps you would close it before putting on the other one. The Maharal explains it as pertaining to shoes rather than tying per se. According to this it would apply to velcro as well.
It started from a group of friends who wanted to see how far their catch phrase will spread. Of course, once you make something up you can find significance to go with it.
Hayotze Min Hatamei Tammei, so I can’t really imagine anyone serious being Mattir something grown from Treifa meat.
As to Popa’s Taana, I think that even more than the nuances is the texture. By just growing cells it won’t be a steak. If they will want to duplicate a real piece of meat they’ll have to intersperse different cells. That will definitely be artificial. It will probably do well as a cold cut.
42 made an excellent point. I know of someone who, when he gave $20 to a Mossad, it was considered a great accomplishment. But he had no problem donating $6 million to some funny project. There are many stories that indicate how one has to be Zoche to give.
Another point: It says that one who has $100 wants $200. If so, $20 has the same value to a multi millionaire, although it doesn’t translate as bread on the table. So when you hear about someone who donated $1,000,000 don’t translate that onto $10 of your own.
Why didn’t you take 42 along?
Golfer, to me that thread was in very poor taste. It sounded to me like someone has weird interests.
I wrote:
However, ZeesKite’s fun is very obviously a joke, although it’s written in bold.
You wrote:
Whether or not you think something is funny should not be criteria for enforcing rules.
When something is very obviously a joke, it is not an attempt at impersonation.
