    שבת נה,ב

    The Ari Z’l said on the hespad of the RMAK it says כי יהי-ה באיש חטא משפט מות the word חטא can be translated as missing, if the judgement of death will be missing from someone ותלית אותו על העץ then his death you should relate on the etz hadaas, the bite of the snake, as mentioned in our gemora.

    I heard that it says that story of Ruvein is read but not interpreted through the Targum because the Targum translates it literally.

    Asks the Binah Leitim why did they need two tovs, one in ink and one in blood? They could have had only one indicating who does not live and the other will live? He answers that the others were also responsible for not admonishing, therefore they had to be specially indicated with a tov to live and being innocent deserving to live
    as they would not listened to them anyway.

    People might not have the above sefer so I am stating his conclusion as follows:

    שו”ת יחוה דעת חלק ג סימן עו
    בסיכום: הנוהג להפריש מעות מעשר ממשכורתו, ומכל רווחיו, רשאי לנכות מדמי המעשר, דמי פרנסת וכלכלת בניו ובנותיו הגדולים היתרים על גיל שש שנים, ואפילו הם סמוכים על שלחנו. וכן רשאי לסייע ממעות מעשר בהוצאות נישואי בניו ובנותיו, כגון לצורך דירה ורהיטים וכיוצא בזה, כדי שיוכלו לבנות את ביתם. וכל שכן כשבניו ממשיכים לעסוק בתורה בכוללים הרבים אשר נתברכנו בהם, וכן כשבנותיו נישאות לתלמידי חכמים השוקדים באהלה של תורה, שמצוה גדולה היא לפרנסם בכבוד, וצדקה גדולה היא, והקרוב קרוב קודם. (וראה באור זרוע הלכות צדקה סימן כ”ב, כ”ג, כ”ו). ומה טוב ומה נעים שהרוצה להפריש מעשר מכל רווחיו, וממשכורתו, יתנה מראש במפורש לפני שיבוא לו הריוח או המשכורת, שיוכל לעשות במעות המעשר כל מצוה שירצה כפי ראות עיניו. ואם לא התנה כן בפירוש, יעשה התרה בפני שלשה על שלא אמר שהוא מפריש המעשר בלי נדר, ואחר שיתירו לו, יתנה התנאי הנ”ל. ואם שעתו דחוקה מבחינה כלכלית, ואין ידו משגת לנהוג מעשר כספים מכל משכורתו או רווחיו, יתנה מראש שיתן המעשר רק לאחר ניכוי הוצאות ביתו. אבל מי שחננו ה’ בעושר, וידו משגת, יאחז צדיק דרכו לתת כל המעשר לעניים ולאביונים ולעמלי תורה ולישיבות הקדושות. ועץ חיים היא למחזיקים
    .בה ותומכיה מאושר

    This remrnds me of a Binah Leitim explaing the MIdrash that Hashem asks us to make with Him a small meal (sacrifice one ox) on Shemini Atzeres after the goyim have all those oxen for Sukkos. When there is a big meal, the food becimes important because people are involved in consuming the food and not in showing friendhip and love to each other. Whereas at a small meal, the food is secondary. Hashem has a big sacifice by the goyim being kavayochel distracted by the big meal but by the Bnei Yisroel the importance becomes the show of love and friendship to each other.
    Similarly, as the letter states and describes a small wedding because of COVID-19 where the true meaning of the wedding is being recognized without any outside distractions.

    abukspan, I have to apologize that I misread your vort. I am talking about one thing and you are talking about another. You are talking about someone who has not personally hurt you and you hate him for doing an aveira and I am talking about someone who harmed you, so you hate him. אלו ואלו דברי אלקים חיים they are both true.

    The reason that hatered in the heart and admonishment are two separate mitzvos is that admonishment can exist without doing him any personal harm as the gemora says in Shabbos 55,1. Even though we should not hate our fellow Jew, people are human and Torah recognizes this and wants us to resolve our feelings by telling him about it and not stop talking to each other, which will bring to peace.

    Another situation of sinas chinom, futile hatred, as pointed out in the above Yad Yosef when a person has an unexcusable hatred where you cannot even tell him about it. Jealousy is an example, where you cannot tell him, I hate you because I am jealous of you, so the hatred is kept bottled up in the heart.

    It does not say in Kedoshim you are not allowed to hate. It says, don’t keep your hatred bottled up in your heart but tell him about it which will resolve the hatred as the Rashbam points out. If you hate him without telling him about it is sinas chinom as the Yad Yosef on the Ein Yaakov Yoma 9, indicates. The reason you should not him is as the Sefer Hachinuch under lo sukam, don’t take revenge,says because he is only a shaliach of Hashem who is not directly causing your grief.

    Maybe because of lack of time, Moshe Rabbenu overestimated his children and expected more from them.

    The Kol Aryeh, a talmid of the Chasam Sofer, explains the idea that the neshama wants constantly to return to its source. There are two things which hold it back, one fear and two the yetzer hara. Over here, there was no mitzva involved, so no yetzer hara. They performed their sacrifice completely from love. This is the meaning that their closeness to Hashem made them die. He expains another reason why the kohen gadol needed bells on his shirt. To wake him up from getting into a trance because of love.

    I wil try to put their drinking in a good light. They wanted to do the avodah with simcha, so they drank wine which also brought them to make mistakes. There error was that simcha should come from the avodah itself.

    Very nice.

    The Ksav Sofer in Parashas Shmini explains the expression מתי ימותו זקנים הללו ואני ואתה ננהיג הצבור when will these elders die and we will be leaders. It sounds very strange that they hoped that the elders will die and they will become leaders. They took a lesson from Moshe Rabbenu that his children did not behave properly because he did not have time to spend with them to raise them as he was busy with leadership. They said if they will die, we become leaders and we won’t be able to bring up our children properly. Therefore, they decided not to get married to have children. This was a strange fire figuratively in their mind as Chezkiya did not want to get married to have Menasheh.

    I heard from Rebbi, the Matisdorfer Rav, Rav Shmuel ztz’l about the Pressburger Rav, Rav Akiva Sofer ztz’l that sometimes we need someone who can read the mind. It says ‘א-ל דעות ה when one is openly a tzadik and another is a rasha, it is easy to differentiate who is who but when both are uttering Hashem’s name we need special understanding to recognize who is who, which he possessed. He recognized it by looking on one’s forehead.

    There might be another reason they didn’t listen to the judges. מי שיש בו יראת שמים דבריו נשמעים asks the Bina Leitim, it should have said ישמעו דבריו as he didn’t speak yet?
    He answers that he doesn’t need to speak. His Yiras Shomayim are his words. Since the judges did not follow their preaching there was a question in their yiras shomayim and credibility.

    The SA 618 does not mention anything about a posek. My Rebbi the Matersdorfer Rav ztz’ would never rule against a religiuous observant doctor. I understand the gravity of eating of Yom Kippur but it is an issur gavre and not an issur cheftza. Therefore, the Torah put the responsibility to decide on the sick as specified in SA O’CH 618,1. If the sick says he must eat, hundred doctors will not trump his needs.

    To understand better, look at the Binah Leitim (Volume 2, Eis Tzara, Darush for Shabbos Divrei, 1). He explains what caused the Chorban. Shabbos (119,2) it gives the reason שלא הוכיחו זה את זה they did not admonish each other where it should have said שלא הוכיחו אותם they did not admonish them. They admonished the hamon am, the rest of the nation, but not themselves. Therefore, the hamon am said, if the talmidei hachomim cover for each other and don’t admonish each other, then we don ‘t have to listen to them either. A similar situation could have occurred over here. The judges did not admonish each other and therefore the people did not listen to them.

    abukspan, look at the Alshich Hakadosh on Rus that this is related to the famine which happened as the bad judges contributed to it. צדק צדק תרדוף למען תחיה – כדאי הוא מינוי הדיינים הכשרים להחיות את ישראל ולהושיבם על אדמתם so we see that the proper behavior of judges provides sustainance and the zechus to stay on the land.

    Sorry, as high respect I had for the rebbi, I would follow my own needs with a torah observant doctor’s advice as described in SA above. If no doctor around, I would decide as II am the best doctor for myself. Maybe under other circumstances, I would eat less, less than the shiur within 7-9 minutes time span.

    I don’t think there is a proof from the Medrash. They are lamenting, woe to the generation having judges that they have to judge and say that they are worse than them. It was not the people that were criticized because they don’t have to listen to admonishments from bad judges as mentioned above but the judges were criticized.

    I understand your idealistic concepts and get off your ivory tower as it is against human nature because the person does not recognize his own faults, he will do everything to belittle the admonisher if he does not follow what he preaches. So it might be true what you are saying but it is not realistic and we are human beings who cannot be expected to follow it . The Torah was not given to angels and Nadav Vavihu would not be punished for it.

    I have another logic why someone would not listen to something that is not practiced. The fact that he is not practicing it seems to indicate that it is not true otherwise why does he not practice it if he believes so strongly to tell him about it.
