yitayningwut; Even though ??? said that to ????, it is not the correct answer. All his war’s were either a ???? or ????. The answer is that ??? ???? was on such a high madrega, had he built the ??? ????? it could never have been destroyed, and Hashem would have ?”? taken out his wrath on ??? ????? instead.
Why wasn’t ??? ???? permitted to build the ??? ??????
How did Daniel die?
According to ????? ?? ?., he was ??? from ????? ????. According to the Me’am Loez, ??? had him killed.

RE: ????”? ???? ?????? ??
(I cut and pasted that)
do you ever recite t’helos?
Yes! Whenever the occasion arises such as Luluv, etc. Did you ever hear of the phrase ???? ?????? ????? There is a two volume Sefer put out years ago by a Chasidishe Yid from Willy B. entitled “????? ??????”. It goes through the entire Tefillos as well as Birchas HaMozon and much more. It shows you together with Dikduk and Meforshim the proper way to daven!
Moderator 42: Supposedly the chasidim davka do this because of the maskilim.
That is also the reason they do not learn ?”?. My husband told me they don’t learn the ??”? as well. In the Tochacha in ???? ?? ???? ???? ??? ???? ????? ??? ?????. Rashi says “The same way you came without sin, so should it be with your departure. The ??”? says from here it is a ????? those who hold of the existence of Gilgulim.
nitpicker:
The use of “baal koreh” certainly is correct. it is used in gemorroh kidushin.
The fact that the ???? uses it doesn’t make it correct. The ???? in ??? ???? also uses the word ????? when discussing who composed which ?????. That to is incorrect. The proper word is ??????. The Malbim wanted to have it changed to its correct term, but the Gedolim argued that even though he was right, being that the ???? uses it as well as Yiddin, leave it as is.
I think a lot of Chassidim know the truth about the Leining. I know that in my Shul the person who leins is a ??? in Dikduk, and every year for ???? ???? and ????? ???? they pack our Shul so that they can be yotzeh the Mitzvah.
The problem is that most people are ignorant in the rules of Dikduk. It is said in the name of the Vilna Gaon ZT”L that unless one is knowledgeable in music composition and music theory, one can not lain properly.
Shticky Guy: your usage of the words “baal koreh” is incorrect as well. it is ??? ????.
You see mistakes in Dikduk in the Siddur as well. Take for example the words ????”? ???? ?????? ??. The word ?????? is wrong. The proper word is ???????. Being that the word preceding and following it is ???? ????, so to should that word be in ???? ???? and not ???? ???. There are many more examples to choose from.
It’s not only the pictures. You go to the Library and you see frum women from teenagers to grandmothers taking out the most disgusting trashy novels out there. I was there last week returning a “For Dummies” book and to my utter chagrin I see 4 Chasidshe teen girls huddled over a Peoples Magazine discussing this actor/actress. Disgusting!
I have yet to meet a person who blames Hashem for his lot in life. People know deep down that Hashem is waiting and willing and wants to shower us with all his Brochos. It’s our ??? ??? ????? ???? ??? ?????? among other ?????? that prevents it!
ayc: Tach V’Tat occurred in 1648-1649, not in the 1800’s.
If you go in and out of consciousness/sleep, you must ask your Rov/Posek if you are allowed to fast at all. He might refer to a doctor to determine if it is a medical issue. For example; There are many people who when they fast their blood pressure or glucose level bottoms out, especially those that suffer from Mitral Valve Prolapse. At that point their Rov/Posek might suggest eating with shiurim. ????? ?????.
Look in Koheles Rabbah which says 7 things are hidden from people and the gender of a unborn is one of them.
The reason being, if the parents were unhappy with the sex of the child, they would have it aborted.
You can make chicken capons.
zahavasdad;
Not to worry. If and when they write your biography they will not say…..
At 3 years old when everyone else was learning Alef Bais, Zahavasdad had already finished Chumash
At 10 years old everyone saw the Zahavasdad was an Iluy and he finished SHAS for the first times
At 13 years old the Rosh Yehsiva gave the Zahavasdad Semicha and learned Chavursa with him and at 18, the Rosh Yeshiva gave the Zahavasdad his daughter for marriage.
In all seriousness, my husbands Rosh Yeshiva once gave a schmuess and he stated that he is not impress by this one or that one who was born with a photographic memory and accomplished such and such. What made an impression on him was a masmid of average intelligence who worked his way up to becoming a Godol in Torah and middos.
Sam2: In theory you are correct. As someone who is privy to the inner workings of Artscroll, I can tell you with certainty that when they come out with a biography of someone, they will only print stories about that person that is historically true. My husband knew 2 Gedolim who are no longer alive who learned by the Chofetz Chaim and/or Rav Elchonon Wasserman, and were there ???? ????, and they in turn told their son’s the stories, or confirmed their veracity. In fact, when “The Vilna Gaon” came out years ago, I personally spoke to the author and asked if all the stories are factual. He replied, “I only print material that is verifiable through either Seforim on him, or stories that were handed down from his talmidim though today”. He continued, “If I were to write all the unverifiable stories, and legends, the book would have 3 times the pages”!
I will tell you a story that my father in law tells about the time in the late 1950’s when he learnt in Bais Medrash Elyon.
There was a friendly argument between the Litvishe and Chasidishe bochrim on which is the more choshuv aliya, ????? or ???. They decided to ask a grandson of the Chofetz Chaim who learned there which aliya his grandfather took. After much deliberation he said I think ?????. The Litvishe were estatic until one Chasidishe bochur asked; “Wasn’t your grandfather a ???”?
Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, and can believe what they wish. It’s not one of the Rambam’s ???? ??? ?????.
A ????? ?????? ????
Sam2: All I know is that it is far from true that the Chofetz Chaim only entered his store to check the weights.
I brought down my source, you can’t. “All I know” is not an answer. Which leaves me with one conclusion. You made it up!
End of subject!
The store was not located within the confines of his small home. No, he wasn’t in the real estate business, he rented the property ?. The people of Radin DID know that he and his wife owned the store, and that is why people flocked to his store, in order of hoping to catch a glimpse of him. A ????? ?????? ????.
apushatayid: Your right! I can’t answer your question as I do not know the parameters of how a ????, especially one of the stature of a ??? ???? paskens. The wife of the ???? ??? ran a business as well. However I think it very disrespectful to label these holy women feminist.
Sam2: Chanie: Revisionist history at its best.
Please explain why it is Revisionist history? My source is the Artscroll’s biography of the Chofetz Chaim. When the people from Radin discovered that the store belonged to the Chofetz Chaim they all shopped there. In order that the other shopkeepers shouldn’t lose out, once he made the money that he needed to survive for that day, he would have his wife close the store. In total his store was open for maybe 2-3 hours daily. All in all, his store was opened for maybe 5 years. I’m sorry if it doesn’t fit into your modern Hashkofos.
Let’s see your sources.
While there are definitely great girls out there, and I’m talking generically, as the word “great” is relative, why is there so many problems when these great girls marry? It is an overused word that has lost it chasivus. It reminds me of a story that I heard years ago, whether it is true or not is irrelevant. A young child goes with his father to the Bais HaChaim and on every Matzaiva it tells how great the niftar/nifteres was, with every accolade possible. The young child turns to his father and innocently asks him, “Where are all the Reshaim buried”?
On his show tonight during his opening monologue, Mark Levine was hilariously trying to determine how to pay his taxes. As a Jew, millionaire or janitor. In the past 2 weeks, Obama has been making a series of gaffes. As Mark says, “The guy is becoming increasingly unhinged before our very eyes”!
Sam2,
You write; “There is also a picture of the CC (with half of his face covered) from his passport when he came to New York”.
I think you are mixing up the Chofetz Chaim with his talmid Rav Elchonon Wasserman, HY”D, who did come to New York in the late 1930’s and 1940.
Littleapple, Why don’t you call Rabbi Krohn and ask him?
Apushatayid, The only reason why the Chofetz Chaim spent an hour or so at his wife’s store, was to make sure that all the weights and measures were correct.
Blocking “legal” driveway’s.
Abelleh, If that is what the Heylega Rashi held, why didn’t he go to Eretz Yisroel? Could your provide the Mekor where he and the other Rishonim say that? Thanks,
I have a CD that I purchased in where I heard Rav Shmuel Kamentzky, Shlita, when asked in the summer of 2010 during an Irgun Q&A in the Bostoner shul on Ave. J. what’s his opinion of girls going to Seminary in E.Y. He answered, girls should not go as well as most boys. He did not go into much detail, but he did say that a good percentage of them come out worse or change for the worse then when they went there. In addition, he said that here in America, you have seminaries on par with their Israeli counterparts.
That being said and your daughter is in Eretz Yisroel, it is common knowledge that the first 2 weeks of seminary is a time for crying sessions. Then comes ????? which for most girls is a very lonely and depressing time. Unless she is still homesick, she should be okay by Chanukah ????? ???.
According to Rabbi Yisroel Pinchos Bodner in his sefer, “Brochos”, the brocha on eating peanut butter is a Shehakol. {Page 410)
Shlishi: I think your first question should have been, who in B.P. even has grass on their property? ???
On the last day of ??? ?????’s life, he was shown the future of Klal Yisroel. Every Godol, Tzaddik, the leader’s of every generation, every occurrence until ???? ?????. Look in Rashi in ???? ???? ????? ??? ?? ???? ? ?? ???? ??????.
The 2 days a week that I’m off, I do all those chores. In addition, I do all the shopping for food and clothing and a many other things. Then there is Davening twice a day. Reciting the entire Perek Tehillim for that day, plus a myriad of other things for and within the household. If you want to know if I wake up at 4:30am to learn with a chavrusah for 2 1/2 before ????? or learn with a chavrusa from 8:00-11:30 pm as my husband does, the answer is no, I don’t do that. It says ??? ?? ??, and our Rov and Posek dictates to us how we should run our lives according to the will of the ????? ?? ????.
There is a story they tell. true or not, of the chassidishe chosid who was having sholom bayis issues. He went to his Rebbe and told him, “I try every segulah there is for sholom bayis including folding my talis right before Havdalah”. The Rebbe replied, “Did you once take out the garbage after Shabbos”?
In my home, my husband is self employed and works from home while I do volunteer work. In order to make things easier for me, he does the dishes, laundry and makes dinner. The only thing he requests is that I separate the light, white and dark laundry. I really appreciate and love him.
midwesterner: My husband just told me he doesn’t recall Rav Chaim being the Baal Mussaf, but he stands corrected. Whenever Rav Dovid Oppen would come to New York from Eretz Yisroel to collect funds for his seminary, Machon Devorah, he would call my husband and they would sit and schmooze for hours. My husband tells me that he was a true ??? in the entire ???. My husband like all the bochrim from telz, took their driving courses at Mathers High School. At 15, you got a junior license and at 16 a regular one. My husband and Rav Oppen and his family were so close that he gave him a copy of his car keys to use when the car was available. ??? ?????? of course. My husband remembers when one of his twin boys was struck by a car, and his life hung in the balance for close to 3 weeks.
He was close as well to Rabbi Shmuel Fuerst, as his parents lived only 1/2 block from my in-laws in Boro Park, and he knew him from before.
The Shofar is meant to represent the cry of a broken heart. My husband learned in Telshe Yeshiva in the mid 70’s. His Rebbeim were Rav Dovid Oppen, Rav Asher Weil and Rav Gluck. His 2nd seder Chavrusa was HaRav Chaim Schmelczer, ZT’L. He said that the davening there on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur was the nicest davening he has ever heard. The Baalei Tefillos were Reuven Gluck and his brother, who first name he does not recall.
Very strange thread. Why would someone answer that question and give ammunition to the ??? right before ??? ?????
Sam2 and Toi: The Mekor for what I stated is ???”? ??. ??.
I’ll translate it. Jewish women are not accepted as witnesses in Bais Din, since even the most righteous one among them denied the truth out of fear.
Sam2: I would have to go back to my seminary notes to retrieve the information. I’ll need a day or two.
Sam2: This is the original ???? on why women are Posul to give ????. Being that ??? denied laughing and grew frightened, this is the precedent set on ???? not being allowed by a woman.
If I remember correctly the reason that women are not allowed to give ???? is because of ??? ?????. In the beginning of ???? ???? when the ???? told ?????? that next year ??? your wife will have a son, ??? laughed. She said, that she is old, and ?????? is old. When ??? appeared to ?????? and asked why ??? laughed and said “Shall I have a son when I am old”? When ?????? approached ??? and asked her why she laughed, she denied it and replied ?? ????? ?? ????.
Hold down the “alt” key and type in either 13 (?) or 14 (?) on the number pad (pad to the right of the letter keys, not the numbers above the letter keys), then release the “alt” key. ??????
Why should the government worry, when they will just stick the debt to us, our children and grandchildren? It’s like they once asked Donald Trump during one of his many bankruptcies, “How do you sleep at night knowing you owe the banks so much money”? He replied: “When you owe the banks a million dollars, you stay awake at night worrying. When you owe them a billion dollars,they stay up nights worrying”!
LOL! Maybe it’s payback for us women that we bore most of the responsibilities of raising the the Chosson/Kallah from birth to the wedding. When the child had to go to the Doctor, who most probably took them, etc, etc…. We realize that the men work hard, but nothing compared to a woman running a household.
The topic of ???? is a very complicated one as it unfortunately has yet not occurred. There were 2 trains of thought that was brought out which one was an understatement and the other one being that some people had difficulties in accepting the realties of it.
There is a lot more to write on the subject, and if want to know precisely what will happen before, during and after the coming of ????, as well as the rebuilding of the ??? ?????, the ??? ???? discusses it at length in his kuntres entitled ???? ?????.
May we all be ???? to make the ????? ?? ???? proud of us so we may be included in that 1/5th population.
First of all, ????? ?????. There are four different strengths to Tylenol with codeine, that range from one to four. Most times after a dental procedure the dentist will prescribe Tylenol with codeine one or two. Find out which strength he/she gave you and if this is the case, ask for Tylenol with codeine #4. Once again, ????? ?????.
Sam2: I do not make the list, nor was I the one who asked Maran Elyashiv, Shlita,, I am only reporting what I heard from the wife of chushova yid who uses this Posek and was told this information first hand..
There is a very prominent Mara D’asra and Posek in Flatbush who travels to Eretz Yisroel every few months to present Shailos to Maran Elyashiv Shlita. Approximately 3 years ago he asked Maran Shlita whom he considers to be the biggest Poskim in America. He answered in no particular order, Rav Dovid Feinstein, Shlita, Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky, Shlita and Rav Yisroel Belsky, Shlita. If you consider Canada, there is Rav Shlomo Miller, Shlita.
Today’s 50 is like 20 years ago 40. My father-in-law who is in his early 70’s tells us from time to time how he feels like he is getting old. I tell him, “Tatty, you are middle age”. My husband always replies to me afterward, “70 is middle age? What is he, a tree”? My husband who turned 50 a few months says, it actually hit him that he is no longer in his 40’s. ?? ??? ?????? ???.
For all you girls starting 9th grade, Hatzlacha Rabbah on your new adventure. The only advice I can give is, please do not give into peer pressure as it will make your high school years seem like torture. For you mothers out there, good luck on P.T.A. night where you have to see 19 teachers in a three hour time frame.
That girls are inundated with every Rashi, Ramban, Kli Yokur etc. reminds me of the story years ago when 2 girls from BJJ went to the Steipler Gaon for explanations to certain Ramban’s. His reply: “Do you know how to make potato kugel”?
Lets ask ourselves another question. If every Rov, Admor, Rosh Hayeshivos and Poskim assured the internet, what is the heter for being on it. If it is for business that is another story, but for coffee rooms and the like the answer is the yetzer horah.
The few times I’ve listed to him I have found him to be full of himself, claiming to have an IQ of 170. His father was a Russian atheist, and he himself seems to be sorry he wasn’t born a christian. He is petty and every 20 or so years seems to reinvent himself. Mark Levin, whose intellect is vastly superior to Savage always refers to him as “The plant doctor”, being that he is always is referring to his PhD in Nutritional Ethnomedicine.
