Exactly, Sam. The same is true in the Nimshal. Once he made himself a Nazir he can’t back off and twist his words to mean a Neder. By Hafara, though, he did it for his wife and switched it to his daughter.
A good example is Hilchos Brachos. If you made a Mezonos instead of Ha’etz you can change it Toch K’dei Dibur. But in the case of a Bracha Livatala, if you realized that you shouldn’t have made that Bracha in the first place, you can’t rescind it, even Toch K’dei Dibur.
I just realized what might be Pshat. By the Korban and Nezirus he wants to be Chozer on his Kabala. That can’t be done. Here, on the other hand, he is redirecting his words to another person.
Toi, that’s right. It looks like it has to do with it being considered the same split second rather than a sign of what his real Daas is.
It’s interesting that the obvious Chiluk is not mentioned. In the case of Kriah and a mistaken Hafara, there is no action against the true and final intention, whereas in Kedushin and Geirushin he wants to undo what he just did. However, it seems that the reason the Rishonim don’t say that is because that would have large ramifications that aren’t necessarily true.
Sam, but Reb Meir, that says Adam Nitfas Betchilas Dvaro, holds that the problem is that you want to be Chozer and you can’t. Even his Bar Plugta (hey, what a great screen name!) agrees that you cannot be Chozer. He only explains the words to include the latter.
The Ran there suggests that by Kedushin the guy takes his own word more serious, and therefore it is final. Rashi there does seem to imply that there is an inherent difference. Otherwise, the Ran and Rosh express their wonder at the inconsistency.
I wonder, though, why the Machlokes of Reb Meir and Reb Yosi, regarding Tafus Lashon Rishon or Achron, is not brought up. Also the Machlokes Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel in Nazir. Where does all this come to play? (Now I have how to keep myself busy)
Toi might actually be incorrect. It is a Svara. The reason the Torah has to say it, says Tosafos in Nidah 46b, is for the concept of Kiyum — that once he says he accepts it, he can’t nullify it anymore.
Another reason, suggests Tosafos, is that it is really the other way around: Since the Torah says that he can nullify it, therefore she is Noderes AL Daas Baalah. Once this Svara — which is based on the Pasuk — exists, it extends farther than the original Halacha. Even if the marriage is not Mide’oraisa, once she thinks the Halacha applies, it applies.
The older children are the ones you practice your Chinuch on.
Yes, the entropy factor, if not checked, levels a person, or family’s ambitious Ruchnius. Moreover, when you are dealing with more than one person it is much easier to slide slowly than to jolt everyone involved.
rc, what does safety have to do with the posted limit?
BTGuy, then it must be a five out of six chance that you are correct.
The speed limit has little to do with safety. There is no reason for the ridicules limit on the Palisades, for example. Most drivers know what the safety limit is, and that limit is often observed even when it is 15-20 over the posted limit.
And please inform us, which Mitzvas Assei or Lo Sasei is Dina D’malchusa Dina? The only reason to observe the posted limit is to avoid a ticket.
Bar Shatya, if you absolutely know that you will come out unscathed then you can ask for a Nesayon. Otherwise, although it is better for you to overcome your Yetzer Hara you don’t ask for it.
Another point, what you mention is a very selfish view. The big picture, of Kvod Shamayim only stands to gain when Moshiach comes. That is what we are hoping for. Safa Echad Lechal Ha’amim. Tzadikim have cried through the generations because of Shchinta Bigalusa. How can you suggest to leave it this way, even if you have a chance of gaining something.
Although you get credit for overcoming your Yetzer, that doesn’t compare to actual heights attainable when Vehaya Hashem Limelech Al Kol Ha’aretz. Wouldn’t you rather learn in Kollel than be praised for finding some extra time to learn?
And finally, there is a Mitzva to be Metzape Liyeshua, and they ask about it.
On the FDR and 9A the posted limit is 45. Most cars travel at 65-70.
Graham Bell invented it. At first his invention was used for sending and recieving voice signals. Over time, more and more was attached to these lines: first fax signals, then frequency modulated bytes.
Using standard evolution theory there is no need to ask who invented it. The phone system realized its limits and evolved a central DNS system and an HTML language for browsers to interpret, much the way the fish being chased up the beach decided it’s high time to develope feet.
The question is, if I make a chemical that will reverse the oxidation would that be valid Lehalacha?
Do you want to wait until nightfall to park? Well, at that point yuou find a spot anymore.
It’s great to be a nice guy. I used to try. That was until I decided to let a guy pass before backing in, and he zoomed right in to the spot I held off going into, for his sake!
Yeah, the scientific definition is when it turns white or forms cracks.
There are three types of unaffiliated: holds of none, nuetral, holds of all.
Bittle, do you learn Chassidishe Sefarim? Do you have an affinity to a particular approach in Avoda? Do you go to certain Rebbes? You sound like you consider yourself more Chassidish than just wearing a Shtreimel. In that case you’d probably answer positive to some of my questions.
Oh yeah, I remember this thread!
Cherry, there always was a Seudas Eirusin, of which it is a direct descendant.
Avoda Zara means one thing: worshiping other gods. That’s all. There are many things that are Assur — including tarot cards, which are called Goralos — and they might be connected ideologically to the ideas of Ovdei Avoda Zara, as the Rambam explains, but doing that is not doing Avoda Zara.
Avoda Zara is never Mutar, Kishuf can be Mutar at times. Kishuf is not a Yehoreg Ve’al Yavor.
Another great surprize is that taking herbs is not either Avoda Zara, as much as I hear that term being tossed around.
The Gemara explains that the Zman Krias Shema is during the first three hours of the day, the time when the kings don their crowns and bow to the sun. The Maharal explains that the sun bowing referred to here means the belief in Teva. The sun is the king and center of the workings of the world, since all energy starts from the sun. So, be careful of that Avoda Zara — which is much more common these days and is gaining ground even amongst our camp.
Gabi, he writes that it is his Minhag. He mentions that some have the Minhag of celebrating the Bris day, but it is not his Minhag. He does have a Teffila for that day, though.
The reference of Noach Lo Shelo Haya Nivra is more about what would have been better. To be upset about being created goes against every Teffila of Hodaa. We always thank Hashem for life. The Maharal writes that although it would be easier not to be created we bend our will to the will of Hashem. That is why the Gemara says that we should thank our grandparents, who if not for their Cheit we would not have been created.
Think of it this way. It is definitely easier to remain a child but the fact is you grow up, and celebrate it, too. (I’m not just referring to the Seuda of Bar Mitzva. I’m talking about any human that celebrates growing up.)
Some feel that pointing out the older age can cause Ayin Hara, while the Ben Ish Chai says that it is a good Siman. Bilvad Sheyichaven Libo Lashomayim.
147, ZeesKite didn’t imagine talking to you.
It’s definitely a sign of the times that two out of four of the serious responses suggest “disorders” upon mention of a desire to fix a Mida.
<putting on helmet>
Good point, Wolf.
Actually, the Ben Ish Chai mentions that it was his family’s Minhag and that it is a good Siman.
Like every other Mida, you start with conscious efforts and that leads to subconscious and automatic behavior. Once you understand, logically, that there is no need to rush the matter and that it won’t help, tell that to yourself — almost audibly — and act accordingly (e.g. breathe slowly, tell the person that you can wait, relax in your chair, smile).
Once you fulfill in your actions what you know in the intellect it becomes more a part of you. The more you do that the more it becomes ingrained. Eventually it will become part of your nature.
You’ll get there sooner than you think. Be patient!
The system rounds off the time to the hour. That might give interesting results.
That’s so cool, to propose on the CR!
So did you brave it again? I tried going it over to myself beforhand but found myself blaming Haman for wanting to be Hashkicham Torasecha.
Does anyone know the difference between the Tzedukim and the Baysusim? It seems like their idoelogy was similar but they were separate groups.
Josh, ZeesKite would need an internet filter that blocks out Gemara.
I don’t use it, so far; neither do I use an escalator, but I have no idea why. When there is more load there is more current, but so what? Since when is allowing an electron to pass an Issur? It does not fit the definition of the Issur of electricity as defined by the Chazon Ish, Reb Shlomo Zalman, or Reb Moshe. It can only work with the Shita of electricity being Hav’ara, which is long out the window.
Notice, that through all the generations there is not a mention of the sparks caused by taking off a sweater in dry weather. If causing electrons to flow would be an Issur, we wouldn’t be allowed to think. But hey, maybe that’s why we aren’t supposed to learn Be’iyun!
Had it been around B’yemei Chachomeinu perhaps they would have Assured it, because its usage usually includes pressing buttons; perhaps they wouldn’t, because people depend on it a lot; and perhaps they would only be Mattir a specially built one — that doesn’t have any controls.
And likewise, noone is whitewashing the effect and urgency of child victims, but the issue is (or started off being) if you should feel bad for her or save those emotions for more worthy people.
What happened, a sign was scribbled?
Medium, it’s good news to me that you are implying that basically one or two such people exist and he or both of them are responsible for the OTDs. Otherwise, we’d have to match the effect with the amount of people each molester effected.
If you are right, then I agree that he caused more damage that this greater enemy of Yiddishkeit.
Regardless, it is a greater priority to take care of that problem than to fight her, since their damage to Frum people is a bigger issue and a more imminent threat than her effect on our greater picture in the eyes of outsiders.
This doesn’t, however change the fact that she is more foreign to us and our hearts. She is a bigger, proclaimed, enemy of our people. Perhaps not a bigger problem, but a bigger enemy.
A rabid, hate mongering Muslim cleric in London is definitely a bigger enemy of the US than those hurting our economy, although you can still argue that the economy is having a bigger and more imminent effect on the US.
I think there are plenty of converts from Judaism. Many have very Heimishe names.
Uneeq, please calm down. You don’t have to berate someone for getting insulted.
Goq and many others, we aren’t imposing anything. We are voting. Now, realize that we never campaigned against lobster eating, false beliefs, or any other of the Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach. We are actually minding our own business, and we don’t want to be living in a lowly society.
It is not a matter of what a guy decides to do. There was no legislation and there won’t be, telling people what actions they may or may not do in this regard. It is about keeping the last remaining strings of morality around. And we want that, and have a right, and responsibility, to vote for that.
If I were to form my opinion of the value of something based on a certain TV show nobody would say that I’m imposing my TV show on them. Why is my personal opinion, that happens to be formed by the Torah, any worse? Lo Tehei Torah Shleima Shelanu Kesicha Beteila Shelhem?
The Shaar Blatt is page 1. Most books don’t start with page 1.
UnYekke: How I snuck out of Yekkehoodledom. It was scheduled to come out last week Thursday 5:03, but I’m purposely not caring about that.
Popa, the difference between them is if you are standing or dancing. According to the Rema as long as you had the Shiur that would put you to sleep you were Yotze. Also, until you fall asleep from it if you’d have to grab one more drink.
147, that applies to Yerushalmi but not Bavli. I think the Me’iri in his Hakdama to Avos explains that prefernce was given to the ‘Yeshivish Masechtos’ even in those days.
If you’ll notice the Gemara seems to easilly go off on a tangent when it comes to Taharos Sugyos. Since there was no Gemara set up for those Mishnayos they always jumped on the opportunity to stick it in wherever they could.
Probably he means fermented grape juice.
Rashi and Tosafos were also cencored.
It looks like the Vilna Shaas itself was edited after the layout, unless they purposefully made it look that way. Where there are large portions taken out the Blatt has more room on bottom. It is not such a big deal to stick in a couple of lines into the layout. You adjust the letter and word spacing.
In France, in the time of the Rishonim they burned cartloads of Sefarim. It is called the Gezeira of Vav Chukas.
Aw c’mon. The pan??
If a Muslim comes at Borchu and leaves before Chazoras Hashas, does it only take 2 minutes?
By all means, know how to drink. The problem is that instead of informing people how to do it, they are told not to do what they will do anyhow. Bochurim should realize that it takes time for the drink to take effect. They should not pile one on the other. Also, there is a limit that you know you took too much no matter what you are feeling.
There is nothing to learn from an apearance on TV. It does not reflect any reality, at all. There might be something major going on, but unreported, so you don’t know and care about it. There might be nothing going on but it is being broadcast so you do care about it. Don’t let yourself be a puppet of some company’s programming management’s decisions. If you want you can take it as a reminder, but definitely not as a revealation.
