HaLeiVi

To explain the concept of Nachla, somewhat, it is mainly about keeping the name. The Torah wants the family name to continue. That is why the sons take over the land. Also, every Shevet is supposed to have it’s own territory.

This is what the Benos Tzlafchad were saying. Rashi quotes the Gemara that they asked that their mother should be Misyabem. Their main concern was what will happen to the family’s Nachla.

Just as today the family goes by the husband’s name (in most cases), then too. The idea is that women marry and get to eat from their husband’s fields, which he Yarshened.

One thing might be different today. The arrangement of her Masei Yadayim going to him and him feeding and supporting her is not necessarily kept. Most couples work as partners. If this is established as a fact then she obviously keeps half of the estate.

By the way, having multiple wives, although allowed was hardly practiced. Which Navi, Tana, Amora or Gaon had multiple wives? In the Torah, those who had multiple wives had it for a special reason and with permission of the first. In Parshas Noach the Torah describes couples as Ish V’ishto.

Anyone who is at a computer doing whatever it is that they do, can give one click to see if the three or four current conversations got anywhere.

Many people log in with their phones. In between here and there they give a peek and a poke. You say you have some time by night and that’s when you check. People have little pockets of time throughout the day, as well.

I figured that part is obvious. Also, the Din would still apply to ZK, but that’s a different story.

I said only if it’s gooey, since the Gemara was specifically speaking of goo. I think Rabbeinu Chananel is more clear about the idea being that it disgusts people to be near him. Dried goo might also be included. I only meant, as opposed to ketchup or grape juice.

I was always told that it applies to all Yeshiva, or learning, people.

Sam, that’s only if it’s gooey.

Don’t put up the “Baal Shem Tov” picture. It is not him and it isn’t necesssarily someone you want a picture of.

Using VB you can start with VB.NET, and build pretty advanced applications. However, you still can’t do low level programming.

We wash a second time because the water might have gone to a part of your hand that you didn’t wash.

How can I believe what they write about what people used to believe when they get it wrong trying to understand what people today believe?

Without a Reviis it is not Netilas Yadayim. The water becomes tamei from your hand and isn’t Metaher it. A reviis is the magic Shiur that acts like a portable Mikva, and is metaher the hand. Once you have a Reviis, it is good for two hands, and in fact many pairs of hands.

By the way, from the story of Rabbi Akiva you see that you don’t have to use drinking water for washing.

I mentioned walking 72 minutes because at that point, after drinking your water, you might be within 4 Mil of water.

i love coffee,

Neggel Vasser of the morning is a sakana to drink or walk on. Neggel vasser from a Seuda is not a Sakana. It has nothing to do with Ruach Ra. You dry your hands before eating because you aren’t supposed to eat bread with wet hands. The Gemara compares it to eating Tamei. Rashi explains that it is disgusting.

Some hold that drying is a part of Netilas Yadayim and that even allowing them to hang dry is not enough.

Oh, I thought I was the only one.

Perhaps YW would be interested in making a <heb> HTML tab that would allow you to type in English mode using the keys of the standard Hebrew layout. Such as, T = א and C = ב

Since when is not wanting to marry someone called being judgemental? You don’t marry someone because they deserved you.

They can surely do Teshuva, at least enough to spare themselves from punishment on this world. This is seen from Ninvei and the fact that Paroh’s choice for Teshuva was taken taken away.

However, it says in Pirkei D’rebbi Eliezer (IIRC) that after somee time Ninvei went back to their bad ways, since they aren’t really able to repent.

As to Olam Haba, it says, Kol Yisroel Yesh Lahem, not Kol Haumos. Afterlife is not Olam Haba. They do have an afterlife. If they do Mitzvos L’sheim Shamayim they get Olam Haba, too. This is what I’ve heard B’shem the Rambam.

I have no patience or desire to verify the assumption of the OP. However, a difference of 5 points is much less thn the difference between one family and the next.

Another point is that women don’t need a higher IQ to win an argument. They do a good job without it.

Perpetrator – One who keeps on doing it.

Someone who discards Judaism is a real Apikores and doesn’t have a part in Olam Habah. If he were a righteous gentile he would have a part. And, it is a much worse feeling and realization to know that you had it and dropped it.

I once saw that the Baal Shem Tov took Achrayos that one Tevila wouldn’t harm a person.

Shticky, so is that on tevila for every Uv’shachhhhhhhb’cha, Uvishachbich’…?

Once is enough. However, there are certain Kavanos that work with other numbers: 3, 5, 7, 15, 72.

There were times that the reason for tragedy was very well known, and in fact foretold. That didn’t make it any less sad. Yirmiyahu Hanavi, after warning about the Churban for years, cried over it when it happened.

The Mishna says that Hashem expresses a sadness when a Rasha is killed in Beis Din.

It doesn’t make a difference what the reason is. For those suffering it is not a time for Mussar, either. But you do have to realize that the world is run by Hashem.

The Satmer Rebbe used to be Maavir Sedra from a Sefer Torah. I’ve heard of other Gedolim who did that, too.

Very good point, 42. I’ve heard of some people who feel in charge, that take the Oni to task for having hired a driver.

If you really feel that bad, give him a normal donation now and mail him even more. Are the graphic designers greedy, as well? What about the printer?

But I can be Dan Lkaf Zchus those that aren’t. It just hit them wrong. They weren’t expecting and weren’t aware that these people get paid.

Getting an inside peak into the mind and growth of a Gadol is indeed fascinating. I didn’t read this book, and I doubt I would. But, All for the Boss had that element. It is a book that shows you how a determined person was unfazed by his surroundings, and how he grew and grew.

I also enjoyed immensely the Chida’s Masa’os, Magal Tov. It gives a real insight into his personal opinions and thoughts. Although I doubt he would be so happy about people reading it.

Why do you say there is no K’siva whatsoever? It records constantly whatever is in front of it. And that is why it is not like dictating to a computer. It doesn’t stop or go on your word.
