The problem is if we undermime the Rav in one thing, he is being undermined in other things.
Look at Daf al Hadaf for Shabbos.

If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise? if we don’t test, do people get infected with corona virus? If you close your eyes, do things disappear? Trump things they do.
“Everything that makes these communities so beautiful is likely a factor that puts them at risk in this situation,” Mr. Seligson said. “To really understand how the virus is spreading within these communities, one really needs to understand how these communities operate on a regular basis.”
He said the community was vulnerable to the virus not because of isolated incidents of rule-breaking but instead because of the very things that make it vibrant: tight-knit families, a commitment to ritual and multi-generational households where the very young and very old live side by side.We find by Bilom that he was told when he saddled his donkey by Hashem , wicked one
Avraham already did that. Bilom wanted the zechus of the Jews learning from the fervor he does sins to do mitzvos. So Hashem said, we don’t need your lesson as Avraham already did that.The Ben Ish Chai applies the pasuk לא יחצו ימיהם we don’t half the days. Yitzchok Avinu argued that we should not be responsible for half of our life as we are sleeping. When someone lends money with ribis,money also accumulates when he is sleeping. ואני אבטח בך but I have trust in you and I don’t have to lend money with ribis and therefore my days will be divided in half.
Benephraim, I don’t understand you. When we say Yiftoch we are not excluding Shmuel but even Yiftoch who was not learned certainly Shmuel.
It says השופט אשר יהי-ה בימים ההם the judge who is around in his time. Says the Hafloah:
פנים יפות דברים פרק יז פסוק ט
אלא דקרא אתי לאשמעינן דאפילו אם הוא חולק על הראשון שהיה גדול ממנו, צריך לשמוע לו, לפי פשוטו כי ראוי לשמוע אל השופט כפי הזמן ולפי הדור כן מזמינים לו מן השמים השופט, ולפי שהדור אין ראוי להבין מעלות הדורות שלפניהם, כדכתיב [ישעיהו כט, יד] ואבדה חכמת חכמיו וכתיב [איוב יב, ב
.עמכם תמות החכמהThe pasuk is telling us, even if the second judge argues on the first who is greater than him, he must listen to the current judge. According to the simple pshat, because we must listen to the judge according to the times and generation. They provide us the judge from the heavens for the current generation as this generation is not worthy to appreciate the greatness of the previous generation.
It says שקר החן והבל היופי grace is a lie and vanity is fleeting being temporary. Grace might be flattery and beauty is in eyes of the beholder. אשה יראת ה’ היא תתהלל a G-d fearing woman is really praiseworthy, as mentioned above by the bais yakov maidel. The importance is her inner character. If you are there, you don’t have to shout. Someone who feels really beautiful from the inside does not have to show off. There is usually an inferiority complex.
The reason for shemittah might be:
Shmita was given on Har Sinai similar to the midbar where they were free to learn so are we free to learn for the year where we refrain from working the field. Says the Yismach Moshe that shmita is against all the shabbosim that were not properly observed for seven years. A year we have 52 shabbosim with one day left behind so in seven years we have 364 shabbosim (7 x 52) with the day left behind makes it exactly 365 shabbosim.
If for themselves a small amount is enough as they appreciate the small amount given to them because it comes from Hashem, the Great Provider, the King of Kings, midah kaneged midah, Hashem appreciates the small amount of mitzvos they do, recognizing that they are only a human being.
Some corrections above Shakespeare and shadow.
Chakespeare said, the world is a stage and we are all actors. This reminds us about Plato’s allegory of the cave. People see shaddows on the wall in a cave about things happening behind them. They see only the wall, so they think that this is reality.
Avi K. can you elaborate what you mean? I said he proves the existence of Hashem similar to Plato from the existence of a soul and the world of ideas.
The president said at that time that Flynn was fired for lying to the VP. CBS News Dec 2, 2017
Whoever did not get his COVID-19 stimulus check should go to the IRS government web site and click on
‘get my payment’ and then ‘get my payment’ in blue and then click ‘OK’Descartes, I think, therefore I exist. Hashem gave us the ability to think, our freedom of choce, not being a robot, which also proves according to him His existence.
Joseph, if justified, why lie about it and why get fired?
Why was he fired?
A lot is equivakent to much.
If Flynn had nothing to hide why did he lie to the FBI and the VP about talking to the Russians related to the lifting of the ssnctions imposed by Obama? He might have violated the Logan Act, a private citizen communicating on behalf of the US with a foreign official.
A person does not plead guilty when he is innocent but he might be covering for someone.
Are you famIliar with the Marik on chukas akum? If there is a reason for it there is no chukas akum. The consideration once might be a reminder for everyday.
With this I explained the comparison of the bitter spring water to the Torah were a bitter tree was thrown into it and it became sweet. A person learns a piece of gemora and he is unable to understand it being completely confused such that it is so bitter that he can’t even ask a kashye. Hashem gives him heavenly help and he is able to ask a kashye which without an answer is also bittter, but it helps him to get an answer and now it becomes sweet.
The RMA paskens in SA O’CH 146,4 to stand at the leining of the Torah to remember Kabolas Hatorah as if it happened today. אשר אנכי מצוך היום – בכל יום יהי-ה בעינך כחדשים see it as something new every day. We can find simething new in the Torah every day. The Chasam Sofer explains that the chidushim are hidden in the Torah and through a heveanly help one can reveal it. The Hafloah says that a kashye is a siyata dishmaya. He demonstrates this with a mashel, A simple person is given a diamond. He does not see what he can do with it, so he goes to a goldsmith to cover it in gold. He is no expert, so he leaves some holes around. The simple person sees the gold but the clever one sees the diamond. So Hashem provides us with kashye through it we are able to reveal what is hidden in the Torah.
There is a very interesting Rabbenu Bachye in Parasahas Ki Siso on the expressiion of the gemora חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני first a joke from the Ben Ish Chai, people when they have no money, sit and learn. Now he explains that originally the mishna left things out on purpose as it was understood when left out. You were only allowed to write down what was necessary for understanding. As the generations became weaker, the gemora came about and more elaborations were necessary and so on. They say about Rav Nasan Adler ztz’l that he had a photographic memory so he only required to place a dot in the margin. We only know things from him from his talmidim.
When we add to something, we show is incomplete. By adding to the Torah we are taking away from it.
Look at the Peila Yoetz on Darshon ויאמר בועז אל הקוצרים ה’ עמכם we accomplish more by cutting Dvar Torahs short.
Joseph, what did the president’s dismissal of the effect of the virus for around two months do?
In the News, when making a minyan, this is the way to behave. See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/1856652/quebec-chassidish-familys-thoughtfulness-touches-non-jewish-neighbors.html
There is also a fascinating Sefer Hachinuch mitzva 187, who explains that we don’t cover the blood of a behama because it went on the mizbeach as an atonement whereas most birds were not sacrificed with wild animals, so there blood did not go on the mizbeach being considered life which was put out, must be covered like being burried to show our dismay for death.
As we are talking about fascinating peshatim, there is a fascinating Ramban this parasha on וחי בהם. He says that the rewards are provided according to the purpose for doing mitzvos. If someone does mitzvos to gain olam hazeh, he will be rewarded accordingly. If he does mitzvos for olam habo, his rewards will be set aside for olam habo. If he does mitzvos for itself, he will gain both worlds.
