Your request is a bit vague. You say you dont want “short dvar torahs”
But there are hundreds of good books on the PArsha ranging from Onkelos, My First PArsha reader both of which are “good book”s, ” comprehensive,” and “not just small, short dvar torahs”what language?
what level?
Are you looking for a book focusing on peshat? thematic elements? Halacha? Mussar?
Is there anywork you have in mind that you are looking for something similar?Joseph you are creatign aStrawman
Idont think anybody is suggesting that it is ok for him to remianmarried.
The question is should we try to be mekarev him anyway.ie Should we get an intermarried Jew to wear tefillin, keep Kosher, keep shabbos even if he will remain intermarried.
what to do about his intermarriage, that can be dealt whith later. It is rare for AbaalTeshuva to be mekabel the entire torah at once.
Gaon
“BTW – I recall many disagreeing with his p’sak like the Minchas Yiztchok, R SZ Aurbach…”That is true for any pesak you find on any subject. Id id not mean to imply that it is universaly held.
“Bottom line – it all depends in the circumstances, there is no blanket p’sak of how and what we say “tekanos Hashavin”.
Of course it depends, again Im sorry if I implied there isany blanket statment for suchcomplicatedissues.
ALthoughgenerally for “takanas Hashavim”we are meikel. For example, meikarhadin most poskim say it is assur to invite irreligous JEws for meal on Shabbos, yet in practice it is allowed, and done“every Jew today (who isn’t a violator in this area himself) is halachicly authorized (as we learn from Pinchas) to extrajudicially slay a Jew and the gentile partner while they’re engaged in this transgression.”
Joseph, that should be your leading pitch in your Kiruv lectures
“A conversion for the sake of marriage is completely pasul and even though some Batei Din allow it sometimes this does not mean it is ok. It would be the same as the rabbonim going into the house of every freie yid who eats chometz on pesach to replace the chometz with matzos. ”
Please easy with the am haaratzos
firstly such a geiros is NOT passul (though it might be bedieved) see Mechaber 368:12
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=9147&st=&pgnum=194
Rav Uziel has a teshuva on this in which he brings a teshuvas Harambam that essentially allows this mipnei takanos HashavimSecondly. Of course Rabbonim should prevent a frei Yid from eating chometz if they can. You comparison is a good one, but strangely it led you to the wrong conclusion
“We are better off without the people who will still intermarry after all the warnings and education against intermarriage, ”
Who gave yo upermission t opush away members of Klal yisroel. Yisroel af al pi shechatha Yisroel hu. If we can get him to wear tefilin great! Get rid of his chometz, of course we shoudl (in spite of you strange assertion) get him not to intermarry, again of course we should.
but if that sint an option of course he shoudl keep other mitzvos and please leave any evaluation of potetial geirus to competent poskim“Any Jew reading this post to whom this is relevant should contact his local orthodox beis din and local orthodox Rav and not trust what unknown people say online.”
Wait hold the Presses
I SHOULDNT trust Everything I read online?but I distinctly recall reading a Lincoln quote that it was safe to beleive everything you read onlione.
Of course I also saw a quote NOt to believe everything I read onlineyytz
“when a goy wants to convert but is already married to a Jew. We don’t urge him to immediately leave the Jew (although that would put an end to some aveiros),”I dod not believe that is correct. when the goy converts he has to accept all mitzvos. He cannot remain with an irreligious woman who will not keep halcha. Although your reasoning may be a good one. A Ger has to be mekabel the entire Torah.
On the other hand, as I quoted from Rabbi Resiman besehm R’ Moshe “Nur ah Ger niz mekabel Zayn kol hatorah bevas Achas” A Baa lTeshuva should keep as many mitzvos as he can if leaving his goyish Wife isnt possible of course he should still keep kosher, wear tefilin etc.
and As ZD said these conversions are generally done, as Halcha says they are good once done.“I hope Joseph you will be correcting the Abusers , Tax cheats and other people who commit such averiahs”
who says those Are aveirahs?
Rehgarding Abusers and Tax cheats, Im sure Joseph says “Live and let live” He is only reffering to “ignoring the religious wrongdoing of others”
“תפסת מרובה לא תפסת just means….”
while you are right, the concept is found elsewhere see Gittin 56b
http://hebrewbooks.org/shas.aspx?mesechta=19&daf=56b&format=pdf
regarding Rav Yochanan not askign for the Beis Hamikdosh to be spared (I though the phrase tafsta meruba appears there but it doesnt, though the idea is similar).I am certian it is used in other sources the way it is used here (though cant think of any). And obviosuly in (our) everyday language it is used
Rabbi Reisman often quotes Beshem R’ Moshe “Nur ah Ger miz mekabel zayn Kol Hatorah bevas Achas” (Only a convert is required to accept upon himself the entire Torah at one shot)

You gave fairly strong advice “Bottom line: find another job!”
considering you admit you dont know what you are talking about“I never heard of this job before, …I thought …I don’t know… I thought …Again, I don’t know exactly what it’s about, so maybe I’m wrong, but I thought … I thought ”
If you dont know, ask for clarification
“Based on that, how would you rate Obama’s experience prior to running for Office?”
He had a working knowledge of how the US government operates.
I dont think leading members of Obama’s party were still saying 6 months into his presidency “He is new at this”
Yo ucant accuse Obama of not understanding basic roles of the various branches of the US governemtn. Unlike MR. Trump who said he intended to appoint a Supreme court justice who “… would look very seriously at her email disaster because it’s a criminal activity,” (that isnt the role of SCOTUS)
He seemed surprised at the concept of judicial review when his muslim ban was blocked by the justice department
He was clearly confused as to how Congress operates with regard to the whole repeal Obamacare (never mind the fact that he both called the plan “great” and “mean” as that isnt a sign of his lack of knowledge rathter his inability to have a coherent message)Lack of experience isnt in of itself a problem. Lack of an elementary understanding of how the US government works is.
“Why are so many of the people in the Trump Administration coming & going? What do you believe is the reason they are leaving?”
It is because Mr Trump is a reality TV star. He doesnt have the first clue as to how to govern. He doesnt have a coherent message /vision and when he does have a message he has trouble staying on it. that makes him a very diffcult person to work for.
“I support Trump to make america great again!”
you have been tricked. Some who supported him realize they were duped that is why some of left“It’s stupid and immature to bash things online like this.”
This is part is without question wrong, it was the viral sharing that led it to be stopped.
and Speaking of real abuse it was likely the bloggers that led to the real problem of child abuse being somehwat acknowledged in the frum velt.“f you really cared, and it truly bothered you, and you truly did not agree with the school you’d move elsewhere for your kids’ chinuch’ sake….just saying. Or you would shut your mouth. You wouldn’t blow up on twitter and push your kids to be negetive toward their own school.”
This line is silly too. first of all how do you know the people who posted/discussed the video told their kids how they felt. And The suggestion that people should move or accept (what some view) as degradation is beyond absurd.
These points are well known
The biggest problem is funding.
It is a lot cheaper to support 1 yeshiva with 1000 talmidim than 10 yeshivos with 100 each.“Someone may feel that a specific number is arbitrary, but there has to be a line somewhere.”
Im not sure There HAS to be a number. As a kid We couldn’t have a yarmulke that was “too small” the Rebbi decided what was too small and quietly told those who needed larger one. there was no rulers involved and we werent lined up in front of our peers to have them literately shatz up how frum we were.
Rebyid put it best ” Whether or not the hair length is proper depends on how it looks. So look.”
ITs to offset global warming

“Such as hearing a rule from a school then hearing their own parents bash it by saying it’s wrong, unbased on halacha, bad, extreme, etc”I couldnt agree more.
The issue though is, what should parents do if a school says not having hair 4 inches past shoulders is halacha (im not saying this school said that) and the child asks her parent if this is true. should they lie?I dont think chinuch is 100% the purview of the school, parents have a role too. And parents are at an advantage in some ways as it is easier to personalize the chinuch and deliver nuance. IT is easier for the school to say “The policy is no hair longer than 4 inches past the shoulders as is required al p ihalacha by all bnos Yisroel” Than to deliver nuance. Parents are better equipped to deliver nuance to their child. Though it has to be done carefully.
“the prevailing wisdom being that as long as our children never hear the words “no I won’t allow that” we can eradicate OTD.”
I dont think that is the prevailing wisdom.
The issue here is it is important that we teach halacha and then strive towards chumra growing beyond the minimum. When the halacha keeps changing it makes the whole thing sound fake. Rabbi Resiman said this in a during hsi motzoei Shabbos shiur towards the beginning of last year. First the halacha was skirts have to cover the knee then the halcha became past the knee now it is taught 4 inches past the knee (unless it has gone further by now). This leads to confusion and certainly has potential to lead to rejection. Look at the OP who readily admits regarding the very issue she is commenting on “Hello? I’m confused.” Thats isnt to say all people with confusion go OTD, but it is troubling that a graduate of our school system is “confused” about such a basic issue. Is it any wonder if someone weaker, who is similarly confused decides the reverse that if this has no source, then probably covering hair after marriage has no source and who knows what else.
I dont think anyone says saying ““no I won’t allow that” causes kids to go OTD. The concern is arbitrarily saying ““no I won’t allow that” and when standards seem to shift arbitrarily is (part of) what causes (some) kids to go OTD.
“Horotzeh…: Ich veis “yeshiva redd”….This though makes no sense even to me!”
elah mai….
1. I agree with DY other reasons include concern for innovations no different than when people are concerned for OO innovations. furthermore it leads to confusion as you say in #2 ” also see #2 “Hello? I’m confused.” you dont know what is halacha and what is chumra anymore.
2. I agree with DY
3. I dont know about barbaric but it is “dehumanizing” and embarrassing. I spoke to several female family members who have gone to BY’s over the past 20 years (though not in the same city as this one) none of them had ever had anything measured and all thought this was dehumanizing
4. I agree with DY
5. I agree with DY. though should point out that apparently after this went viral the school changed their policy
6. Lol! that is a good one. It is more likely someone (without $$$) who called the school would be told “If you don’t like the school, don’t send you kid there…um, is someone forcing you to send your kid there?” (for the answer see #4)
7. I agree with DY. Though would add feeling dehumanized in the name of religion. and coming out confused as to what is halacha vs chumra vs shtus cant be good for remaining frumiacrissma
I wasnt arguing with Loweryourtuition
I was just saying that personally those examples are Minhagim I htought everybody has but only later realized were not universal.
When I grew up all the Shuls I davened in had a mass exodus towards the end of chazaras hashatz when everybody would “bench esrog”
T was torah misinai that at the start of shulchan orech an egg was dipped in salt water.
Personally those are “family traditions that I grew up with that I thought were everybodies and later found out were not universal (the opposite of the OP)
I wasnt saying this is the case for everybody. Im sorry if that wasnt clearLU
“don’t know if I would have started the list in the first place, but once it was started, I thought that adding to it could only help. …”The opposite is true. Praising a poster or two isnt insulting. Once you start listing posters it is inevitable that someone will be omitted.
” Also, I’m not sure the two are the same thing. If you say that you want to meet x and don’t mention y, it may be insulting to y. But I am not sure that choosing to describe a few posters is the same thing. ”
The exact opposite is true. If you want to meet X in most cases Y wont get insulted. But if You ask to meet A, B, C, D, E …and X it is more than likely that Y will get insulted.“According to that logic, it is always insulting to say something nice about someone because someone else could be insulted.”
No, see above“. And if anyone feels that he was forgotten about, he can say something, and someone can mention him, ”
Ah but that is needy and petty (and obviously nobody will now believe me when I say that I am not in the least bit insulted that I wasnt listed here and that nobody wanted to meet me on the other thread, though I am not. I am not sure I believe myself)” While it’s great that people are being sensitive to others’ feelings, I actually thought this was one of the nicest and least insulting threads around. ”
Im fairly certain yo uare incorrect.“I think that eating a fleishiks meal on Motzei Shabbos may be more than a “family tradition”. I’m not sure about this, since I never looked it up, but it may be something that really everyone one is supposed to do l’chatchila”
I think that is stretch. The Remah says Ochlim vesemachim dehavi ketzay Yom Tov” which is easy to make the case that fleishigs is preferred but it is a strecth to say “really everyone is supposed to do” soemthing that isnt brought in shulchan Aruch/Remah or Achronim.
That said Like CTL My family too has fleishigs
We also light candles motzei Yom Kippur and Every Motzei Shabbos which apparently is not a common minhagLoweryour tuition
I liked your examples
1. Not wearing a kittel in shana rishono on Yom Kippur and Pesach.”this isnt rare, and is quite viisble on yom kippur as many newy marrieds dont wear a kittel
3. Making Brocha on lulav and Esrog in the sukkah.
5. Eating a hard boiled egg at the Pesach Seder
These two examples are personally the opposite of the OP. They are minhagim I thought were universal as everybody I knew growing up did them. It was only later that I encountered People with different minhagim“I’m sure some liberal posters here think that way!”
Ah, but you are no liberal“Who says? You???”
IVe never seen anyone else do it“You said “WWIII begins August 21st”
You then said “I was right as usual! HARVEY!!”I was responding to this:
“Wolf -“Why? Because of the eclipse? You do know that there are at least two solar eclipses EVERY year, right?”
The last total solar eclipse in the contingous US was in ’79.
From NASA:
“Solar eclipses must have been frightening events and we know from numerous writings that they were often viewed as bad omens.””Aside from your response to him not making any sense. I still dont get where WW3 or Harvey fits in and how WW# and Harvey are related
“Don’t worry. It’s Not your fault.
You forgot to take your Aricept before your posts!”Yep thats true, thank you for your understanding
“Where do think NASA got it from? The Gemorah! You’re not the only know-it-all!”
So why did you cite NASA, are they more authoritative than the Gemara?
And again NASA does NOT say an eclipse is a bad omen (they say that they were viewed as one.“You’re not the only know-it-all!”
Sigh, I used to be until my many “senior moments” have taken their toll“You’ve been here long enough – many topics change in middle of the topic!”
Yes but you are the only one who changes topic mid post.
And besides this isnt about changing topics.
You said “WWIII begins August 21st”
You then said “I was right as usual! HARVEY!!”Im asking how does that make you right?
“Nothing to do with your Idol Obama! ”
Sigh, not for lack of trying. Look up the CLASS act. OF course you would oppose it, given your support of the polar opposite of a class act who currently resides in the whitehouse
At any rate, thanks to Obamaare I spend less on healthcare in general helping me save for any upcoming health expendituresCA
“You’ve been doing the same thing as what has been happening in Lakewood?”
what?“Another senior moment! No more simple comprehension.”
Nooooo dotn give up explain how you really were referring to Secret NASA which says what you misinterpreted
Cmon where is the Heath I know and love!Also speaking of senior moments, you forgot to answer my question!
Here it is again “You now mention Havey. where did you mention it earlier? and what does it have to do with august 21st?”“I got a relative in Leisure Chateau – you could join him!”
I will! thanks to Obama zul zein gezunt un shtark, I can afford it!Lol health you were wrong as always
1. WW3 hasnt started, whcih was your prediction
2. The NASA source says they were viewed as bad omens. Im not sure what that shows. Why mention Nasa the Gemara lehavdil says the same thing (actualy the Gemara says it IS a bad omen while NASA says they were viewed as Bad omens)
3. You now mention Havey. where did you mention it earlier? and what does it have to do with august 21st?Gamanit are you serious
You think this ““What the ***??? I went to fill up my tank and the attendant was just like ‘sorry, 5 gallons per customer’. I am never shopping at XXXX again””Is more of a concern than ““What the ***??? I desperately need clean water so Icna continue living and the store keeper was just like ‘sorry, $42 per case’. I am never shopping at XXXX again”
?Joseph
1. It must be rough being your chavrusa
Chavrusa: “Keitzad haediem naseh zomimim…”
Joseph: ” Halacha says something about this. That should be your starting, and ending, point.”2. Does the halcha apply to bnei noach?
3. Not all are aware of the halcha. Believe it or not their is a poster who doesnt believe in the halachos of onaas mammon. It is important to educate
“I’m just impressed that you were able to acknowledge it this time.”
dont be. Ive acknowledged when Im wrong many times. It isnt hard for me. Inn fact ID say If Im wrong I always acknowledge it
For both an example where I admit and where you are without question wrong (and cant admit it) See this thread https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/how-did-rabbi-akiva-die/page/3
(the part you are without question wrong about is Joseph. See the Joseph is joseph thread, perhaps pin it to your task bar)“Was the U.S. not a democracy until Jim Crow was repealed in the 1960s?”
Again as George ORwell said some are “more equal than others”
Yes the US was a Democracy, because the in structure it is a government of the people.
Yes it wasnt perfect and some of those people were “less equal”, but with time we have improved and are more democratic.you say “I don’t believe democracy is predicated on equality.” so is an oligarchy a democracy? what about a monarchy. In both those situations too the control of government is determined by “the people,” just not all of them or put another way an oligarchy is a democracy just not one predicated on equality.
Also I cant help but notice you havent answered my question (At least not clearly)
“You dont think it is undemocratic to ban a group from voting based on religion/race etc?”Joseph
“Jim Crow laws weren’t about slaves.”No but they were (partly) about voter supression of the descendants of said “property”
Just so I understand you correctly. You dont think it is undemocratic to ban a group from voting based on religion/race etc?
“is widely accepted as indeed being the case in the Litvish”
I did not know that.
nobody IVe spoken to including Shadchanim those dating and Rabbanonim (who have signed relevant kol korehs) think it is a major cause let alone THE cause.
(I dont know about MO)“How can anyone logically disagree?”
I dont understand how anyone can logically accept the age gap theory
first of all the musical chairs analogy falls flat after thinking about it for more than 2 seconds, because in shiduchim the music doesnt stop. chairs and players are regularly added for all eternity.Secondly as explained many years ago:
“The shidduch process in our community works something like this: shadchan suggests girl, boy’s side looks into her, Boys side agrees, girls side looks in and agrees, they date, get engaged and married. Asking around the problem in the chain is that girls arent getting enough dates.
Assuming 100 guys for 112 girls. The guys often date several girls before finding the one. assuming each guy dates 3 gitls before settling down that is 300 dates for the 112 girls.that Should more than cover all girls. The issue shouldnt be girls struggling with “short lists and relatively infrequent dating” All girls should get an equal number of dates though a few dont get married.The calculations upon which the Age gap tm is based is a “situation in which elements of two distinct sets (think of single men and single women) may be paired in a one-to-one manner (think of marriage)” This holds true for marriage but not dating. By far most Guys date more than one girl And some a lot more.
Therfore the age gap can not be used to explain why girls aren’t getting dates.
In short, the boys are going out with a subset of the available girls. Not because there aren’t enough boys.
To go back to the popular musical chairs example. IF upon observing the game you notice that after every round the same players are left standing (some even when there are chairs available) even if at the very design of the game no matter what you do soem players wil lreamin standing. There is something up with these players and not the game
TLIK
Are those Things Obama did or that he could have done better?Joseph
Already addressed. Slaves werent viewed as people“Who said a key factor of democracy is equality?”
Among others, Mr. Jefferson “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal…” of course As Orwell said “some are more equal than others”
This is echoed in the PReamble to the Constitution “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, …”The definition of Democracy is “rule of the people” Now at the time Blacks werent viewed as (full-fledged) people. But few if anyone still has that view. (please dont tell us your view in a public forum).
sure you can redefine “people” to characterize anything as a democracy. An oligarchy or monacrch ycan then both be called “democracies” if you defien people as a few aristocrats or just the king.
“The main thing about this country is that we are a beacon of democracy in this world!”
Im confused. If that is the “main thing about this country” isnt a key factor of democracy equality among citizens? i.e. making “blacks equal to whites.”?
To me it seems logical. IT is offensive to lump different things together even if there is a similarity.
For example when a paper writes “Two dead in new round of mideast violence” While true it is offensive when the “two” are victim and, lehavdil the terroristt. Or when a President blames violence on “Many sides many sides” it maybe true but lumping them together is wrong.“Has that ever happened before?”
Yes

Im sorry for your loss, may you know no more tzar.
“btw “heart attack” which is used often is a bigger killer than cancer.”
I dont think that is correct. Although if you change “Heart attack” to “Heart disease” then it is true. For now, if current trends continue then Cancer will surpass Hear t disease in a few years.
Secondly
While Heart disease is a bigger killer than cancer. This is true for those >65 (and the general population as a whole since those >65 make up more deaths than those < 65) Cancer is among the leading causes of death in EVERY single age group other than infants <1 month. and it is THE leading cause of death in those aged 5- 64 (if you remove accidents, homicides and suicides)I think LU’s point is true too “I think it’s also because people view cancer as an invader coming and invading their body,”
Plus see my comment on the thread linked above where I give anothr distinction or two
Halevai
“Why bother fixing six hours to the same length when it doesn’t reflect reality.”
the answer to your question is to get two halchos to fit namely that say sof zeman shacharis is both after 6 hours and at chatzos. Yet the reality is that these arent the same times if you diefine shaos zemanios as 1/12 of neitz to shkiyah. So R’ Moshe “redefines” shaos zemanios as 1/6th of neitz to chatzos for AM shaos zemaniyos and 1/th of chatzos to shkiyah for PM shaos zemanios.(At least this is how I recall the Tehsuva)
Snagged
” Chatzos is when is at the highest point in the sky, which is exactly halfway between sunrise and sunset.”the first half of your statement is true not the second.
chatzos is when the sun is at the highest point in the sky this is known as “solar noon”
See Ig”m EH Chelek 1:58 where he gives real examples for example on 4/20 Haneitz is at 5:10 while shkiah is at 6:40 the midpoint is 11:55 yet chatzos is 12:00 making the 6 morning Shaos zemanios slightly longer than the 6 afternoon shaos zemanios. This is what Halevai was reffering to in his OP
If your second assertion was true then chatzos would take place at exactly the same time every day. since it takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin on its axis. So if the sun is at its highest point at 12:00 (regardless of when sunrise/sunset take) place 24 hours later it should be back in the same place. Which while close, isnt the case. however to to the elliptical orbit and the tild effect among other factors their is some slight variability) though I dont understand R’ Moshe who seems to say Chatzos is always at 12:00
Snagged
“There is no such thing as ‘netz’. In the term ‘honeitz hachama’, the first word is a verb.”I agree. however see MB 493:6, biur hagra 459:5 who use the term “neitz” (although they usually use the term “haneitz”)
“I’ve heard (I don’t remember the source) that the word “cancer” stems from idols.”
You heard wrong.
A quick google search will tell you the etymology of “Cancer” The disease and constellation are both named after a crab.Halevai
“who seemingly have a hard time believing that Chazal,”
You are making the same mistake you made on a related issue. I dont think they have a hard time believing chazal. They have a hard time understanding chazal. Sure it is possible that Chazal meant eating sweet foods will bring a sweet year. But it is also possible that they meant something deeper. Perhaps they meant it as “as a mussar reminder or its a (once-a-year type of) Tefilla.”iacrisma
“I am not sure an attribution to a fictional character is appropriate to this discussion”Kabel haemes mimi sheomro.
“What I mean is that when they announce the molad in shul they assume that the moon moves at a constant speed. However it doesn’t. But we do it this way for convenience and simplicity.”
Its not just for “convenience and simplicity” the whole calendar is structured on the average speed. It wouldnt be possible to produce a calendar based on the actual molad because it varies within each cycle and cycle to cycle. EAnd forget about getting it to fit with the solar cycle , which isnt just convenient but a necessity due to chodesh haaviv.
The molad announced in shul is the one upon which our entire calendar is structured. while it isnt the “actual astronomical” molad or “molad ha’amiti” this sint because anyone is “rounding” anything“Euphemisms such as “sagi nahar” have fallen out of use – that’s not an answer.”
Some have, some havent.
We may not refer to a Sagi nahor but I have heard many people refer to a “bais hachaim”
I have also heard some people refer to cancer as yehne machla, as It seems you have as well.I’m not saying I avoid the word cancer, im not saying it is halacha in shulchan aruch or that saying it leads to bad things. Im not even saying that it is a good reason or that it makes sense.
You wanted to know why some people avoid saying it. Now you know.BTW just to follow up
” And lastly and mainly, does Secession = treason or altogether legal”Dont forget Salmon chase said it was nOT legal (you implied th oppoiste, just want to make sure youre clear on that)
Also I looked up your hint : US Public Law 85-425 sec 410, and Im not sure why I had 1930’s in my head but it wasnt until 1957 (!!! almost a century after the war) when the were granted pensions and the last confederate vet died in 1959 so the answer to your question “did Confederate soldiers receive any USA pensions, as all soldiers receive?” is no. Though a few did.
