שבת לד,א
The three things mentioned in the mishna is said Yom Kippur Kol Nidrei Night to emphasize the fear of the day. עשרתם, the ten days of teshuva passed, we should have done teshuva, ערבתם, Erev Yom Kippur passed and הדליקו את הנר how frightening it is after the candles have been lit for Yom Kippur.
ספק חשיכה ספק אינה חשיכה its obvious if not one than the other? Answers the Tosfas Chadoshim on the Mishnayos a beautiful answer. The first part applies to Erev Shabbos as maybe it is already night, already shabbos and the second part applies to motzei shabbos as maybe it is not night yet, still shabbos.Reb EliezerParticipanttry realcleardaf.com

It says אם יהי-ה חטאכם כשנים כשלג ילבינו If you recognize that you are a sinner and therefore you see it as red, they will turn white as snow. This might be the reason why we put a red ribbon on a baby. The children c’v are punished because of our sins. If we do teshuva by recognizing them, we save them.
שבת לג,ב
When the goyim build is a question whether they do it for themselves. We find by Bilom when he got up early, he was told that Avraham Avinu preceded him by the Akeda. He wanted the benefit for getting up early and the Jews should learn from him with what fervor and passion to do mitzvos the way he does aveiros. Similarly we could learn from the goyim how to do mitzvos.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat Shimon Nodel was saying at the end, whoever wants to purify himself will be helped.
Reb EliezerParticipantOut of place should be inserted for שבת לא,ב
The wicked say that time is short let us enjoy ourselves. The Mishnah says at the end of Kinim (3,6) that the elder the older they get the smarter they get whereas the fools the older they get the more foolish they become. Explains the Yaaros Devash, in the beginning, maybe the foolish are right. There is a lot of time to enjoy ourselves but as time goes by we should recognize אם אין אני לי מי לי if I don’t help myself spiritually, who will. So the smart understand that time is running out and we must do things for Olam Habo and thereby they become smarter as time goes by whereas the fools become more foolish because they let time run out with their enjoyment and they don’t do anything to gain Olam Habo, They compare this to a person who is given an opportunity to amass great wealth. He is taken to a place filled with precious stones, jewelry and gold. He is told whatever you can collect within a certain time belongs to you. He admires and enjoys looking and playing with the tapestries and beauty of the place figuring that he still has time to collect the wealth. Waiting to the last minute, an accident happens and he falls and is unable to collect practically anything. So he gets thrown out from the place without anything. Let us not wait to that last minute but do mitzvos and maasim tovim all of our life.
Reb EliezerParticipantAbove in reply #1847931 should be telling the truth and he has their interest in mind.
Reb EliezerParticipantI said before that it is based on the pasuk מיכה פרק ז – כִּימֵ֥י צֵאתְךָ֖ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם אַרְאֶ֖נּוּ נִפְלָאֽוֹת
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Beis Hamikdash will be taken apart in order to rebult it in its place. The Alshich Hakadash explains the expression וכונן מקדשך על מכונו set up the mikdash on its place. The last mikdash will be so holy that we need preparation. The other mikdashim were created and destoyed rather than create one Beis Hamikdash to sanctify the place for the last mikdash.
שבת לב,א
We find that Yaakov Avinu did not want to send Binyomin into danger fearing that he might get hurt.
When a person is in danger, he gets scrutinized whether he is worthy to be saved. Therefore Hashem creates the cure before the illness as he might not be worthy, when sick, to be cured. We daven every day רופא חולי עמו ישראל cure the sickly of your nation Yisroel even if we are not sick because we want prevention from sickness as it says כל המחלה אשר שמתי במצרים all plague that I placed on Mitzraim לא אשים עליך I will not place on you as אני ה’ רפאך I Hashem your healer before you get sick. In the Hagadah we find an argument how many makus the Mitzryim got, why? The meforshim say, in order we should get less. The more they got, the less we get. I think this is the meaning in רופא כל בשר cure all flesh before sickness ומפליא לעשות You create wonders, after sickness.Reb EliezerParticipantשבת לא,ב
יראת שמים
Why doesn’t it say יראת השם? The Chasan Sofer says that we should see the sky and learn from it. It is made of אש and מים, fire and water. They are able to coexist. Simiarly, we with different minds should learn to coesist. That is why the Torah starts with a beis indicating different people’s understanding but the aseres hadibros with aleph indicatiing unity.
מי שיש בו יראת שמים דבריו נשמעים as mentioned before, he does not have to speak. His yirash shomaim are his words as people trust him that he is telling the trurh and he has their interest on his native mind.
The Klei Yokor explains this is the meaning כל מחלוקת לשם שמים סופו להתקיים as the waters were separated by creation to create the heavens. The arguments should be for the benefit of unity.Reb EliezerParticipantשבת לא,א
The Dubner Magid gives us another meaning on the expression מה דלך סאני לחברך לא תעבוד with a mashel. A young man took his uncle as a financial advisor. He would constantly tell him that he is losing money. Eventually, he had enough. He decided to go to someone else who told him to separate himself from his uncle because he is a ganev who realy is making money. The yetzer hara who has hatred towards you don’t make him your friend.
The two legs are mitzvos בין אדם לחבירו and בין אדם למקום. One with out the other does not go. The two explanations by Rashi whether your friend is Hashem or your friend is dependent which leg the convert wanted to stand on.
Reb EliezerParticipantI agree. If we cannot be together physically, let us be together spiritually, We should daven for the pain we cause Hashem by not being able to shower us with good and the pain that our brethren are suffering.
Reb EliezerParticipantשבת כט, ב
The Rosh in Betzeh (2,17) explains that the removing of oil is not a cause that the light go out but direct putting out of the fire since this egg shell with oil is part of the burning system and the removal of oil is disturbing the system.
What is the difference between a פסיק רישא (cutting a head off the chicken and not wanting to die) which is chayev and a מלאכה שאינה צריכה לגופה, work not for its own sake, is patur according to Rebbi Shimon? The Kesef Mishneh Hilchas Shabbos (1,7) quotes the son of the Rambam, Rabbenu Avraham that by psik resha he does not have any machshava to do the work and its happening automatically whereas in a work not for its own sake there is a machshava to do it but not for the purpose it was done in the mishkan.
Asks the Machtzis Hashekel O’CH 278,1 according to this a psik resha should be better since he has no machshava at all? He explains that by work not done for its own sake he actually has an opposite machshava not to do it like in mishkan, therefore he is patur whereas in psik resha he has no machshava. The Rambam does not hold this logic and holds that doing work not for its own sake is also chayev.Reb EliezerParticipantThey say that is the meaning of ‘חישב את ה’קץ being 190 years 400 – 210 = 190
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Baal Haturim says at the end of Chaya Sara that Yishmoel has to fall before Meshiach can come otherwise the Ramban says that the affliction of Hagar by Sarah was an error and therefore we will fall in Yishmoel’s hand if we don’t behave properly. The Sefer Amudeho Shiva said on the year 5760 (2000) that it was a time for Meshiach as a mikva is 40 sah and a soh is 144 eggs making it 5760 eggs. He said that the world will be meetuhar then. The Ramban in Breishis says that every day of creation is for a thousand years and Meshiach should have come when Adam Harishon was created. The Chasam Sofer says that it was suitable to come but we must be worthy.
They bring a mashel about the counting of days towards Meshiach which the gemora is against. A man took along a friend and his son to travel to the Leiptzig the great market. As they got into the wagon and started to travel, the son asked how much more time will it take? The father got angry and said, why are you asking me that when we just got into the wagon? After traveling an hour or two the friend asked also how much more? He told him another hour. The son got angry for screaming at him. He told his son when you asked it was not appropriate to ask as we just started to travel but my friend asked after we traveled more than half the distance. Currently we are close to the coming of Meshiach and therefore we are able to ask.Reb EliezerParticipantשבת כז,ב
The Baal Akedah says that techeles is a middle color the most comfortable to the eyes. Similarly, the Kol Aryeh says that מן are the middle letters of the aleph beis depending if we include the ending letters in the middle or at the end. The middle letter is the 14th. If included then the מ is the middle letter otherwise the נ is the middle letter.
The Ksav Sofer explains that by Korach they put on a taiis completely of the techeles and wanted to know if it requires tzitzis. They wanted to know how Moshe Rabbenu felt about the closeness of the them to Hashem. If someone is very close and loves someone, he does not need a reminder but a picture of him. The techeles is a picture of kavayochel Hashem whereas the tzitzis is a reminder. The reminder is something out of the ordinary, so the picture would not serve as a reminder.
The Chasan Sofer explains the pasuk ונתנו על ציצית הכנף פתיל תכלת And you shall place on the tzitzis a corner, we don’t place a corner on the tzitzis? it should have said ונתנו על הכנף ציצית פתיל תכלת? So he says that the word על means over here ‘because’ as we find על אשר לא עשתה meaning that we should make a corner on the garment because of the kiyum of the mitzva of tzitzis.
Reb EliezerParticipantmobico, see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/chidushim-on-daf-yomi/page/5 for Berochos over 200 entries.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe RMA says not to say Halel, so beyichudis there is no publicity.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe are all in the same boat. Don’t bore a hole in the boat saying it does not effect me as it sinks the boat.
Reb EliezerParticipantAshkenezim who do not say it always start by mincha as you cannot make a negative announcement. By Musaf we still say morid hageshem.
Reb EliezerParticipantPeople should do שנים מקרא ואחד תרגום also on the parshiyos missed as in SA O’CH 146,2, you can do it in the middle of krias hatorah. According to the Shlah Hakadash, it can be done on the parshiyos ending with a (פ, ס).
Reb EliezerParticipantMilhouse, why if there is no announcement? SA O’CH 114,1 provided there is an announcement as in MB s’k 3.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee MB O’CH 114 s’k 3.
Reb EliezerParticipantI was told that בדד stands for ר’ת בכל דרכיך דעהו we should do our best being alone for Pesach.
Reb EliezerParticipantMorid Hatal, since no announcement are made, will be the same as the ashkanezim who will stop saying mashiv
haruach by mincha of the first day Pesach. Vesen Berocho will start motzei shabbos after that.Reb EliezerParticipantThe Klei Yokor in Parashas Vayetzei on Uforatzto says that tha pasuk uses extremes in directions rather than in order to teach us that Meshiach will come when we have reached the lowest level and we come to realize that
אין לנו להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים we can only rely on our Father in heaven.Reb EliezerParticipantכל הרודף אחר הכבוד הכבוד בורח ממנו and כל הבורח מן הכבוד הכבוד רודף אחריו over here is the opposite כל הרודף אחר הכביד הכביד רודף אחריו and כל הבורח מן הכביד הכביד בורח ממנו.
Reb EliezerParticipantCurrently leider we will not have this problem as we are isolated from others for Pesach . If only we could mish that should be our biggest sin. איכה ישבה בדד?
Reb EliezerParticipantWe should do שנים מקרא ואחד תרגום which guarantees a long life.
Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t remember who but it is called chavlei ledah.
Reb EliezerParticipantGH. You know that if something is assur because of mares ayin even bechadrei chadorim is assur.
April 2, 2020 5:16 pm at 5:16 pm in reply to: Why do so many continue to ignore restrictions on gatherings and travel #1846417Reb EliezerParticipantIt should be publicized that ignoring restrictions is a chilul Hashem.
April 2, 2020 3:54 pm at 3:54 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah for Pesach (Seder) New hesber in eating Matzah and Ha Lachma Anya #1846355Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rambam adds the words בבהילו יצאנו ממצרים before the passage הא לחמא עניא with swiftness did we leave Mitzraim. What does the Rambam accomplish with this addition? Also, why do we include Matzoh in our sandwich of Pesach and Maror? Isn’t it enough that we eat it separately?
The Dubner Magid explains this with a parable.A very wealthy man from a great city had a daughter. He wanted to marry her off to a successful young man who had outstanding traits. He only found a pauper in a small village who had a son praiseworthy with these traits. He traveled to the village together with his daughter to see the young man. When he saw him, he was so impressed with the young man’s wisdom and his G-d fearing that he decided that he does not want to leave, but make an engagement and get the wedding done right away. So the pauper, father of the groom, s aid, don’t you need time to prepare for the wedding to buy the best food and drinks fitting your rich stature? I am a poor person who lives on stale bread, so how can I satisfy your needs? Answers the rich man by convincing him that he does not care now for all the niceties since making the wedding as soon as possible is his first priority. So, in order to make the wedding, the rich man commands his servant to replace the cheap torn clothing of the groom with fancy ones. After the wedding, the rich man asks his servant to collect all the cheap torn clothing and bundle it together because he wants to take it home with him. As the groom saw what was happening, at night, when they were all busy eating the poor man’s stale hard bread, he took a piece and hid it in the bundle, making sure that his father in law was not aware of it. When the rich man came home, he gave the bundle to his servant for safekeeping. After a while, the groom became arrogant towards his father in law, who decided to reprimand him. He took out the bundle and showed him the cheap and torn clothing. Look what you wore before. You were a nothing before your wedding, he hollered. As he opened up the bundle, the stale bread fell out. The young groom retorted, remember how you hurried to perform the wedding without regard to any niceties. You were willing to consume this stale bread as long as I was willing to get married. Obviously, you saw some qualities in me you couldn’t pass over that is why you hurried so fast to make the wedding before I will change my mind.
This is the meaning of the above passage, the fact that we are currently eating the bread of affliction reminds us that we came out of Mitzraim swiftly because Hashem found us special to be worthy of being his servant. He didn’t want us to sink into abyss the fiftieth level of tumah. This gives us hope for the future. The same way that He felt that we were worthy of redemption once, should make us worthy of redemption again במהרה בימינו , swiftly in our lifetime Amen.April 2, 2020 3:54 pm at 3:54 pm in reply to: Pesach Vort from The Beis Halevy Looking Forward to Complete Redemption #1846318Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer says that Pesach contubuted to Tisha Beov. If we would not have been redeemed earlier, no other galus would have come. You can throw one big rock, one galus for a long time, on a person or a lot of smaller rocks, many galuses for less time. We eat the egg to teach us that by the Jews the more you cook them the harder they get in their belief.
April 2, 2020 3:52 pm at 3:52 pm in reply to: Pesach vort Faith, the True Wealth Strength of the Righteous Women Rav Elya Svei #1846332Reb EliezerParticipant1he Righteous women gave birth under dire circumstances thereby making up the extra years through multiplication having more people working.
April 2, 2020 3:52 pm at 3:52 pm in reply to: Pesach Vort from The Beis Halevy Looking Forward to Complete Redemption #1846319Reb EliezerParticipantThe Klei Yokor on Uforatzti Yomo Vokedmo explains why not in order rather than exttemes? Meshiach can only come when we have reached the lowest level, realizing אין לנו להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים, we can only rely on our Father in the heaven.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says היא העלה על מוקדה being implied that if someone elevates himself, he ends up on fire but והרים את הדשן if he holds himself low like burned coals, he will be elevated.
Reb EliezerParticipantlower, I said exactly what the MB said. It should be mutar because it is considered cooked but because of mares ayen it is assur.
Reb EliezerParticipantAn olah comes on a machshova where חסרון כיס means covering,, protection from bad thoughts.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee SA O’CH 475,2 says for those who has a custom not to eat tzli chicken is included because of mares ayin, even though roasting without water in a pot is considered according to Rambam Hilchas Korban Pesach (8,8) like cooked.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey say that the shibud mitzraim and chevlei meshiach are birth pangs at child birth when the jewish nation was born and reborn.

The hebrew mumbers are different than other words. The male ends with a heh whereas the female does not.
שלשה על שלשה are tefochim whereas שלש על שלש are etzbaos.April 1, 2020 7:41 pm at 7:41 pm in reply to: Pesach vort All for the best: Relates to ארמי אבד אבי #1845863Reb EliezerParticipantThe Alshich Hakadash says that by Lavan’s fooling Yaakov Avinu, he ended up almost destroying him by going down to Mitzraim. If he would not have fooled him with Leah, he would have married Rochel first and Yosef would have been the bechor and there would have been no reason to end up in Mitzraim because of jeakousy.
Reb EliezerParticipantשבת כו,א
Impure trumah oil you might be able to light with on a Chanukah weekday but not tevel. This needs some explanation. Rav Yosef Engel questions that tevel is assur maybe because truma is mixed in it. So what is the difference. Truma separated you can have enjoyment from whereas tevel is trumah which is not separated so therefore is assur because of trumah mixed in it as stated in the gemara.
April 1, 2020 7:31 pm at 7:31 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah for Pesach (Seder) New hesber in eating Matzah and Ha Lachma Anya #1845782Reb EliezerParticipantAccording the Bino Leitim we will say opposite. The Midrash says ויסב אלקים דרך המדבר ים סוף – מכאן אפילו עני שבישראל לא יאכל עד שיסב Hashem took them around, the question is why does the Midrash change the meaning to interpret it as reclining? We are telling the poor person that we were in the same boat as he is now and Hashem saved us. In the desert we have nothing as he feels but Hashem led us and protected us taking us out Mitzraim.
The bread of affliction reflects this. Similarly we show emphaty and put ourselves in his shoes. Therefore in the zechus of charity we are showing we become worthy of the redemption.Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t see how the geulah, the cure, is a vaccine. Maybe the servitude in Mitzraim is a vaccine to be able to survive in galus.
April 1, 2020 4:43 pm at 4:43 pm in reply to: Dvar Torah for Pesach (Seder) New Hesber in opening door by Shefoch Chamuscha #1845818Reb EliezerParticipantThey say that Lot’s wife could not look back as she was saved together with Lot in the zechus of Avraham and not in their own zechus.
Reb EliezerParticipantHow is it that Dasan Vaavirom did not get killed in the three dark days? Those who did not want to lieave were killed but they wanted to, so the Jews were different than other slaves as they strived to be saved and go to Eretz Yisroel.
Reb EliezerParticipantLet us hope to be in sukoso shel leviathan.
Reb EliezerParticipantשבת כה,א
Tosfas in Bava Metzia (43,2) starting Hachoshav explains that Pigul, thinking of eating not at its time means not realy thinking but talking/ The Rambam Hilchas Pisulei Hamukdoshin (16,1) argues.
Reb EliezerParticipantThanks you made us a mnemonic on the mnemonic. I person nade a knot on a handkerchief to remember something but he needs another knot to remember the reason for the knot and so on.
