feivel. Well said.

Whenever there is greater Kiddusha, the yetzer hara works overtime. Remember Yom Kippurim is the day Like Purim!! When can reach the highest of highs, lets not blow it acting like whatever whilst drinking at times when there is no mitzva to drink.

Side question. Among those here who drink, how many stop at shkiah?

flatbush >>plenty of people are able to get drunk at night and be mikayem the mitzvas hayom. for those that cant should not get drunk as i said dont drink at night unless you can wake up for megilla. i should have wrote as you said to be mikayem all of the mitzvas hayom and not just to wake up for megilla <<

except that the mitzva of drinking (getting drunk) is specifically by the seudas hayom

In the Mishkan:

If an error occurred when the letters were written on the Keroshim, the error was erased, so that the correct letter could be written in its place.

>>mind you, why is mochek only with words? <<

There is also a separate issur of ripping. The can overlap

>>Jay, every time you turn a page you’re being “mochek.”<<

Not if there is a bookmark in it from before. You cannot be mochek that which was already mochek! You already broke-up the words “Brooklyn Public Library!”

>>and what about if the words are the food. say, on a cake of something. <<

Also a prob. Frosting on a cake is problematic. However, when it is made of the same substance (e.g. a candy bar where the chocolate is shaped to spell the name of the candy) does not have an issue of mochek

>>Aren’t men said to fear commitment?<<

Which halacha or mussar sefer does that appear in? You wouldn’t dare quote a secular source in the CR Beis Medrash!

cute

The issur is ????, erasing. The case you gave regarding food, is an issur d’rabanan. As for cases of “need” ask your Rov.

As for the library book, I was told one should put a bookmark in before shabbos (“breaking” the stamp) to avoid issues

I did not see that anyone signed up for today (nor do I see a new list up), anyway nossond, sorry in advance.

In Parshas Ki Sisa, as well as on a ta’anis, we read the passuk ?????, ??? ???-? ???? ??? ????, ??? ????? ???? ?????, ??? ???? ???? ????

R’ Yonasan Eibushits says that this passuk seems odd. We have Moshe davening that Hashem have rachamim on Klal Yisroel after the chet haegel. Why does he mention that Hashem took us out ??? ???? ???? ????? How does Moshe expect Hashem do show compassion? One does not mention all the good things A gave to B when asking A to forgive B. DOING SO WOULD JUST INFURIATE A MORE!!

So what was Moshe saying when he said ??? ???? ???? ????? He wasn’t talking about all the miracles Hashem provided for us, because obviously mentioning them would not assist us in receiving Hashem’s rachamim. Rather, Moshe was reminding Hashem that we were just on the 49th level of tumah. Moshe was saying to Hashem “What do you expect from them, look, you took them out ??? ???? ???? ????, because there was no other way!, they were 1 step away from the point of no return!. What else do you expect from such people? This was the argument of Moshe Rabbeinu.

There is a tremendous mussar here for us to learn. We need to be able to put aside our ego and our “thoughts of self” when trying to help people. We also need to recognize where they are coming from. May we be zoche to properly assist all those who seek our assistance.

going to sleep in a few

yup, Joseph got it. The word was chronometer!

This dvar torah is ??”? ?’ ???? ?”? ????? ????, who was taken from us 1 year ago, too young and too soon. We all miss him (and thanks to everyone who came to the siyum last night).

As well as Amichai’s father yona ben naftoli hertz z’l

The nishamos should have a aliya.

The following is taken from R’ Schwab on Prayer.

Why 18 brachos? Why did the anshei kneses hagedolah establish the Amida prayer with 18 brachos (the 19th was added later)? What is the significances?

Quite a few reasons have been sited by the Chachamim

-?? ???? ??? ???? ?”? ?????? ??????? ???, (Gemarra Brachos) – Corresponding to the 18 times Hashem’s name appears in Krias Shema

– (Yerushalmi in Brachos) ??? ????? ??? ??? ????? ???? ?”? ????? ????? ?????? ????? ????? ???? ????- Corrsponding to the 18 times the names Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov appear as a unit in the Torah

– ??? ????? ?? ????? ??? ?’ ????? ???? ?”? ??????? ????? ????? ????, Corresponding to the 18 times it says “???? ??? ?’, ??-???. In pekudei, talking about the construction of the mishkan

– (Midrash Tanchuma) – Corresponding to the 18 perakim of tehillim (from the beginning until #19, ???? ???-?, ???? ???). According to our siddurim ???? ???-?, ???? ??? is number 20. The gemarra says that the 1st 2 are counted as one. When the chachamim added the 19th bracha to the amida, they were spit into 2, so that there would be 19 tehillim prior to ???? ???-?, ???? ???. Perhaps, when the Bracha of ????????????????? is no longer needed, they will be counted as one, once again.

– ?”? ??? ???? ??’ ????? ?? ????? ???? ?”? ?????? ???? ??? (?????? ??) ???? ??’ ??? ????. Corresponding to the 18 times Dovid HaMelech mentions the hame of Hakadosh baruch Hu in the Midmor, ???? ??’ ??? ????.

– R’ Saadia Gaon, in his siddur, says that he counted 18 times in which the Torah mentions that someone said a tfillah to Hashem. He also mentions the fact that the Torah designated 18 days in the year as Yomim Tovim (Pesach -7, Succos -7, Shavuos -1, Rosh HaShana -1, Yom Kippor -1, Shmini Atzeres -1).

All of these are instances in which there is a factor of 18, but what is the significance?

(Gemara, Brachos) ?”? ????? ??? ??? ????? ?? ??? ???? ????? ???? ?????? ??????:

To correspond to the 18 bones in the spine

???? ?’ ????? ??? ??? ????? ?? ??? ?????? ???? ????? ?? ??????? ?? ?????? ??????

When we bow during davening, we must do so to the point where all of the joints in the spine are open as it says “?? ??????, ?????? ???-?, ?? ???? All my limbs will say: Hashem, who is like you”.

Based on this, all the aforementioned instances where the number 18 is cited as the source for the amida being 18 brachos, are based on the fact that the number 18 represents the physical framework of the human being, and thus the number 18 is ideal symbolism to express the essence of tfilla, namely:

We are offering our entire body and soul as a korban to HaKadosh Baruch Hu through our tfilla. This is the meaning of ?? ??????, ?????? ???-?, ?? ????, and this is why we begin the Shmoneh Esrei by bowing down and involving our entire body in the tfilla.

Sorry, I guess I just have yet to master the chart.

—-A–

Since it is after Shkiah here in Yerushalayim (and thus ?”? ???), I will post (Not sure yet if I will do tomorrow as well)

This dvar torah is ??”? ?’ ???? ?”? ????? ????, who was taken from us 1 year ago, too young and too soon. We all miss him.

In this weeks Parsha, Mishpatim, it says:

??-???? ??? ???, ?? ??-???? ??? ??–??? ?????; ????-??? ???, ?? ????. ?? ??? ???? ????

When a man will open a pit, or when a man will dig a pit and not cover it… The “owner of the pit shall make restitution.

(Side note, ??? in Gematria (mispar katan) is 10, because one is only obligated on a pit of at least 10 tfachim)

The Vilna Gaon asks, why is the word ???, pit, written in full when referring to the opening (creating) of a pit, and written without the vav, ??, at the end of the passuk (will dig and not cover)?

The Gra answers that this is an allusion to a famous Chazal. Chazal state (Bava Kama) that if someone digs a pit of 9 t’fachim, and then someone else comes an makes this pit a pit of 10 tfachim, the 2nd guy is obligated for all damages caused by the pit, despite the fact he could argue he only did 10%.

This is why it says, ??-???? ??? ???, He created was a pit of 10 tfachim, he is obligated, since nothing else needs to be done to make this a halachic pit. Here it is written ??? in full, since it is not missing anything.

However, ??-???? ??? ??, even though he did not dig all 10 on his own, he is equally obligated.

There is a tremendous mussar here for us to see. Often we do not take the entire picture into account before doing things. We need to recognize that failing to do so can cause us to to harm. The second person only dug 1 tefach, but that was enough to make him obligated for the entire pit (despite the fact that the other 9 were done by others). Likewise we must be conscience of our surroundings and the entire picture when dealing with people. Lest we dig that final tefach.

mod, you can post my game now

There is no Bracha for Tal, nor for geshem. They are t’fillas. I am referring to brachos!

Biur chametz is correct thoug (3 left!)

What 4 Brachos are said once a year, every year?

(Please note, this is geared towards Jews in the diaspora, therefore, brachos like “al achilas Marror would be incorrect)
