The Yerushalmi on Kodshim was found a while back. The Rambam says that we must believe that the whole Torah is with us from Moshe Rabenu. No new finds.
If you believe that you are marrying על דעת בית דין then why do you need a מחאה. Your בית דין can be מפקיע your marriage. If in the alternative you are not then still הפקר בית דין . Why protest? Use your power of בית דין as it was meant to be.
Either way the תורה was קובע that all you need is בימים ההם. That is sufficient. As is באשר הוא שם in the opposite way. If anyone is zoche to gadlus in our generation it is true gadlus . Why that is so requires a הסבר but not now.
Is anyone aware of the first מקור of this comparison? Is it טור ברקת perhaps?
If you eat garlic you increase fertility. If you don’t you are at status quo. If you vax you lose it. So what happens if you make a cocktail with קנאבעל and the vax?
While we can’t say shorts are אסור on יום כפור because the כהן גדול wore them when he went into the קדש הקדשים, we can alert you to the concerns many Rabbonim had . I think the discussion about מכנסים in general is in the שדה חמד ,the Rav of Krasovbazar.Tried to keep it short.
The famous question of שכר מצווה is not in this world. As it says היום לעשותם ולא…. but in the very next pasuk it says reward of עקב תשמעון. So the Baaley Musar say, you get the reward for the excess and chumra in this world ( the עקב) .But the reward for din is in Olam Haba.
Chazan ZK did a good job on הלבן חטאינו. Roitman did אשמנו מכל עם. To be מלמד זכות, our מנהג is to be מרבה only on ערב ראש השנה, so the דולג is not מפסיד.
My father in law’s Rebbe ,the Maharam Brisk wrote on this topic with respect to the Hungarian milieu. RMF deals with it in the IM with respect to an American milieu. As the world turns NB the PM wears it but MB a”h did not.
I am writing specifically about the YI of PP whose Rabbi SR was legendary as both a politician and a spiritual leader. The unfortunate demise of the shul and the 25 others in the area is over simplified by the cliche of dwindling membership. The representation that a merger solved anyone’s membership problem is quite infantile . On one hand you write that even small communities have Yeshivas למיניהם. But PP remains unfortunately an עיר הנידחת. The fall of the vast YI movement was discussed by the LR who saw it happening. YI is שומר שבת.You can’t be an officer otherwise. That is a great קידוש השם on paper. I encourage each group to be proud of their past and plan a bright future. The criticisms are basic silliness. שבת שלום
How did you learn פשט in the פסוק that ביום ההוא יהיה…אחד. What about now? Also I don’t think anyone disputes the concept of emanations to explain how יש came from אין. That is where your problem starts. How did the world come to exist ? The Rosh Hayeshiva RAS stressed כבוד אלוקים הסתר. Etc.
There is an Afghani shul in Queens. A while back I heard the רב הראשי speak there.
A quick question. Does the דיין get Malkos for taking the bribe? If yes, then he must do a mayseh? Does a dayan have to check his clothes anytime except Erev Shabbos? Is giving a psak considered a mayseh? Just trying to divert the discussion to Halacha Lemayseh. Please RE be mochel me.
The issue of whether the עולם התורה is or is not a הוראת שעה.
Charedi usually means that you go lechumra no matter who says its permissible. Like cholov yisrael for example. When really companies are ok. Eruv is ok when its an emergency. Short jackets ,fedoras,wristwatches, short sleeve shirts,shaving,a chupp and much much more.
Didn’t see the Yated. The Denver Rav, Harav Ginsberg wrote on inyanim of Shabbos. Will check hebrewbooks.He wrote on נביאים as well. I had his sefarim years go.
His brothers were also Rabbonim. I think he was related to the chief Rabbi of Moscow involved in the Beilis trial. I think though he was a Talmid of the Rosh Yeshiva RMF having come from the LES.
RE you are welcome. Your comments are appreciated. תחזקנה ידיכם.
THE grammar of nachamu is a פיעל which starts with a פתח under the פ הפועל and a שוא נע and דגש חזק under the ע הפועל.This is modified because a ח can’t take a דגשor a שוא נע. But it takes the חטף instead of the שוא נע. The dagesh is omitted.Gay vays.Shabbat ( dagesh chazak) shalom.
Please excuse RE for the indiscretion of not writing the chataf.There is no patach alone either. It is a compound nekudah And guess what? Its kiflayim.
The same question may be asked on the Kedushaלכאורה when we repeat the ק word 3 times. That however comes directly from the נביא. And is explained by the תרגוםto refer to 3 dimensions. Here the intent of repetition is sing song so its a question if any of them count.
Could you please recommend some books for men on this subject like frum women have oz vehadar and others so that we can see the contemporary approach of our leading poskim.Similarly, the YW allowed Rabbi Weiner’s sefer on beards even though Gedolei Olam like Harav Frank permitted shavers as did relatives of the Chofetz Chaim. Similarly in the alteh Mir ,Kamenetz, Novardok, etc.Chachmei Lublin .The Agudas Harabonim had many many clean shaven Rabonim.Why the nausea?
As a child I remember Oberlander Yidden who would not change clothes. Not the suit and not the shirt. They sang לכה דודי toאלי ציון.Any memories past or present?
Please use the Gemara card which is laminated.Also 12th grade in high school should have a mandatory daf yomi to acclimate to that direct halimud.I will be davening for hatzlacha for all of you.
As the Rambam said when he compiled his יד. You don’t need any other ספרים.I have used hebrewbooks.org and it is quite an עבודת יד. Until that time if you wanted a sefer from the 16th or 17th century you had to buy a xerox copy in short supply by Biegeleisen.Now you can print what you want. Additionally prime Litvishe Yeshivas print heftlech of Meforshim like never before.
Please remember that for Yemeni Jews, all there is , is the Rambam. There is a famous vort why the trees will rejoice in the time of Moshiach. Because we can ask the Rambam himself what he meant and won’t need trees for paper to print theories and conjectures. BTW, why don’t we say chazak but instead substitute hadran?
What about piyut?Lecha dodi like Eli Tziyon?
Do you think nonJews have a mitzvah of having children or it is only a Jewish mitzvah? Same for men and women? Is the family unit a sociological or religious construct?
Please correct me if I error. Firstly the Shedlitzer was Rav Pam’s uncle. Secondly , in some Yeshivas ,the Rosh Yeshivista was more of an influence on the bachurim than the Rosh Yeshiva. Similarly in some Young Israel’s the Rabbanit was better in Gemara than the Rav because her yichus was greater even though the Rav finished shas at 17 in Brownsville. Anyone remember?
Day schools run by Yirei Shomayim stay open on chol Hamoed so that the talmidim can experience a Sukkah and Pesach. One Yeshiva Day School required attendance Friday night to experience the Shabbos. The Mirrer Rosh Yeshiva Harav Kamai said his pilpul Friday at twilight. That was the appropriate time he said. Lag Sameach

Thanks for the kind words. I was responding to the mention of Rav Henkin’s nephew in Israel. Thought some might remember the levaya of the uncle who was the Posek Hador. If anybody spots the dayelet please let us know. BEEsteemed Rav AB . You are right about the tree. I am indeed chaser aleph in that one. The Ibn Ezra is beloved by all segments of Klal Yisrael. Many perushim were done as well like the Margalios Tovah I think. His son in law may have been the Kuzari or vice versa.Remember Tosfos brings his kasha in Kidushin as well . I enjoy reading your writings and wish you a Good Moed. You learned in American Yeshivas? Formerly BE. Now I may have to get a new nom de plume.
Like RE I too am an alman for a few years. A woman passes away , her husband mourns primarily. Like by Rus. The only thing I remember about Rav PEF sefer is that he glamorizes the dayelet as a tzniut model. Anybody remember the levaya of Rav Henkin on the LES? If I remember Harav Schorr zatzal was in excessive mourning. It was in the early 70’s I think.
Thanks for unmasking me. I knew it would happen sooner or later. You can’t satisfy everybody. Are you related to the Machon Yerushalayim Bukspan or the Hungarian Rosh Yeshiva who was killed akh”s in 1944? Back to Rav Klatzkin. The one I refer to was the Mariampol Rav. I think his sefer was Even Harosha. I appreciate your classy lamdonus. Good Moed
Dear Rav AB. very nice drush from Rav Klatzkin. Is he the author of the famous teshuva on defining mummification? I remember a teshuva from him years ago on that subject. Also another teshuva which I cant identify but deals with rubber? Please forgive me. Anyway it is pretty clear that the dichotomy in Pirkei Avot about being an eved seeking pras vs. one fearful of G-d is not represented here.Good Shabbos and thanks
The מדרש is trying to explain the need for a משכן in the מדבר. We know the commandment to build a בית המקדש requires 2 mitzvos before you are obligated. So now we understand the חטא of asking for a מלך. This should have been done as part of the בנין הבית not like all the nation’s. Capesci?
To my landsman.DaMoshe.et Al.
Do you remember the old Rav , Reb Yerucham, Reb Mordche Yosef, or Reb Yanki zatzal? There were heimishe Yidden from Radzin who knew the Avnei Nezer and Reb Shialeh Kutner. Do you remember when the Gaon Reb Chaim Zimmerman came? Or the Buffalo Rov who was a mechutan? The Bobover Rebbe’s nephew etc. and so many more? Please write about your recollection.RE , did you know the Soproner Rov? Rav Chaim Shpitzer always quoted from him? For example the etymology of country. So Rav Shpitzer said in the name of the Soproner that it comes from contra. Whatever צניעות you have in the city is now the opposite. Au contrare. Nice vort.
As you may know the Baki Hador, Harav Herzog zl was an expert in marine biology having been the Chief Rabbi of Ireland.He discussed the kabalah of the Radziner Rebbe. BTW do you remember the Radziner shtible in Boro Park?
Dear Zush.
There is a מקור for using a pen name and being granted immunity. That is of course when we wear masks on Purim and express the fact that in a topsy turvy way Haman was…and Mordechai was…..
So even if you say thatלשון הרע applies in writing, with a name change it is definitely less.
Certainly posting doesn’t cause fighting in shul because the fight can be done online.
Need to be מלמד זכות on כלל ישראל.The mesora is that they did. For example. Lavan garti. Rashi says the bracha was not mekuyam bi. So Kreindele the sister of Reb Yeshaya Pick Berlin said take gevir and subtract bi and you get ger.I think she was the wife of Reb Yoseph Steinhart the Rav of Fuerth. ( Nurenberg). The Beis Yehuda chumash with jargon was used by Rebbitzen Kaplan z”l. That established the American Mesorah.
I will be the Nachshon here. I am a widower Rav with children, some married, seeking a Rabbanit. Need more info? Let me know. If you want to see my Tayre please see what I wrote on the blog. Never ad hominem. Always loved habriyos.
