לא המדרש העיקר אלא המעשה actions speak louder the words, which seems to indicate the opposite.
On Rosh Hashanah, Hashem looks at us with one stare seeing us all in unity. Balak said to Bilom that you should only see the partial nation but not the whole because seeing the whole you cannot effect them. Yom Truah also means a day of friendship and unity.
abukspan, what you are saying at end is completely incorrect. A person cannot see his own faults but he knows what he does right and only on that can he admonish the other. Otherwise, he will be told correct yourself first. it is also not right to bring up some other fault of the admonisher.
There are some universal proverbs, sweep before your own house or in hungarian drinks wine and preaches water.
Look at the Rabbenu Bachye on לא יהי-ה בהם נגף בפקד אותם why direct counting causes a plague. It separates unity so the faults can be seen. The Shunamis said I reside among my nation and don’t want to separate myself from the group, spotted and recognized to be blamed when something goes wrong,
Look at the Binah Leitim on Pirkei Avos about nothing better than silence.
Look at the Rashbam about admonishment and Yad Yosef on Ein Yaakov, Yoma 9 about Sinas Chinom. The Abarbanel says that when we admonish we should not put the sin on him. The Shlah Hakadash explains when admonishing don’t say he is a letz because he will hate you but say his a wise person and he will love you.
The Torah is advising us how to avoid lashan hara. There is a juxtaposition between seeing good and lashan hara. If you judge him for the good, you will not gossip about him.
It is brought down by Mayonei Shel Torah that the Parsha of Balak should not be named after a rasha. It was named after him because he did not hide his hatred.
We find when it turns completely white is tahor but if it has a black hair in it is tamei. The Klei Yokor explains that the chazir and camel are forbidden by their good signs. They add to their issur showing their good signs and their fakeness. When the negah is all bad, is good as people can guard themselves from its influence. The parsha is named after Balak as he revealed his hatred toward the Jews so they can watch out from him.
Joseph, on Yom Kippur we follow doctors and individuals whether one needs to eat.
I would have thought that whoever adds extras to the Parasha of Metzora would make you happy but I am sorry for making a mistake. I did not know that this topic only belongs to you.
Understanding the peddler according the Ben Ish Chai, Rebbe Yanai was thinking that the phrase whoever wants long life might refer to above where being satisfied with whqt one has will bring long life, so the peddler was mechadesh that it refers to what follows and protecting our mouths will bring long life. This is what Rebbe Yanai was in doubt about how to interpret the words.
I think, He takes the pure away in order the sinners should not be recognized by comparison.
The Binah Leitim ezplains in Pirkei Avos that wild animals come to this world on false swearing. Why come to this world, should have said, come? He says that whoever does not use his mouth properly turns himself into a wild animal.
The live bird is dunk into the blood of the dead bird to limit speech which is reflected in the chirping of the bird and then it cqn be sent away to the field. Bad speech can either come about through gaiva (cedar tree) or not caring for consequences (too humble like the eizov). Either extreme is not good (like the red thread).
Joseph, it is from Rav Hagaon Reb Chaim Shlita see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/featured/1852946/7-new-rulings-from-hagaon-harav-chaim-kanievsky-regarding-corona.html.
On the website http://www.hebrewbooks.org on the bottom of the page you find ‘send seforim’ which provides an upload form.
Read the book from Rabbi Emanuel Feldman, Tales Out of the Shul from Atlanta, Georgia which is very amusing.
Look at the Sifsei Chachomim on Rashi that it teaches us humility not jump to conclusions in our judgement even if we think we know for sure.
What about hebrewbooks.org?
My children ka’h 36 and 34 now, grew up on Uncle Moishey.
It says סיג לחכמה שתיקה the proof of wisdom is silence. Be silent to listen.
See Yechaveh Daas from Rav Ovadyah Josef (1,43) about the question of stopping to say Nachem.
Do not discuss porch minyanim when people are dying left and right in Lakewood.
I answer the title of the topic.
BTW, the other two rules eliminate the possibility that Yom Kippur falls either on Friday or Sunday. The chazal did not want two consecutive days where no work can be done, when Rosh Hashanah falls on Wednesday or Friday.
akuperma, shaving you can do for yourself. This reminds me of a Bertrand Russel paradox, the barber shaves those and only those who don’t shave themselves. Who shaves the barber? If he shaves himself, he should not.
If he does not, he should.lower, if the 30th of Nissan is on Shabbos than 29th of Nissan will be Friday so aleph Niissan will be also on Friday and so will Pesach and אדו לא ראש and בדו לא פסח. This itself negates it as the first day of Pesach cannor fall on Friday. According to your calculation גר the third day of Pesach is the first day of Rosh Hashanah which would be Sunday.
lower, If aleph tishri falls on Sunday then Succos will fall also on Sunday, so will Shmeini Atzeres and Hoshana Rabba will fall on Shabbos which would eliminate the knocking down of Hoshanos and that cannot happen.
It emphasizes כחי ועוצם ידי עשה לי את החיל הזה self reliance, no need to rely on a higher authority, Hashem.
It is kabalistic not to shave on Rosh Chodesh but this may be an exception for kavod shabbos.
הנסתרות לה’ אלקינו look what Rashi says on it, if you don’t do things that you are responsible, I will judge c’v the majority. Its like being in a ship and boring a hole under your seat. You end up sinking the ship.
The punishment is midah keneged midah, so maybe we should examine our interaction with others.
