To listen, be silent.
The above is from the Sefer Peninim Yekorim in the lekutim on Maseches Brochos, also explaining a talmid chacham should have an eight of an eight, 8(8) = 64, 6+4 =10, 1+0=1 the smallest integral number. I said to remember the need for the ס’ד 64 סיעתא דשמיא – ר”ת
8 is the most powerful number lemaaleh min hatevah, as the mispar katan of Hashem, bris, Chanukah, Pesach, sukkos.
8 (1) =8, 8(2) = 16, 1+6 = 7, 8(3) = 24, 2+4 = 6, 8(4) = 32, 3+2 =5 and so on going down to 1 and starting up with 9 then 8 and so on
26(1)=26, 2+6=8, 26(2)=52, 5+2=7,26(3)=78, 7+8=15, 1+5=6 and so on
This is what Rebbi Yochanan says wherever you find a multiple of HKBH, it will become smaller.We can learn from peoples and animals behavior good, what to do, or bad, what not to do.
Maybe, Trump is the traitor whose policies endanger our national security? His experienced advisers quit on him because they can’t take his tunnel vision policies living the Kurds in Syria and Ukrane hanging. We have a Hungarian saying, don’t throw out the dirty water until you have clean. Don’t break treaties until you have replacements. We are more in danger than ever with North Korea, Russia, China and Iran.
syag, If someone is a baal gaiva, he will do and justify everything to protect himself. לית דין ולית דיין as Louis XIV said I am the state.
GH, I don’t know which Bush you mean 41 or 43 as there is no 47?
I wrote something in #1814498 that makes no sense. I meant to answer for 1 that she was not underage but 22.
Elchonon, I think the Rambam in the Moreh Nevuchim, the Malbim quoted above, the Sefer Habris believe that it is a mitzva to reconcile if we can. The Ramban by orlah says that treifos are not healthy. We have a rule עולם כמנהגו נוהג. The gemora in Shabbos at story of the man nursing, one view is how ugly it is that nature had to change for him because he will lose his zechusim. Something like Darvin’s theory is against modern science as Newton said I am standing on great shoulders indicating that peiple before him were smarter. The Klei Yokor in Parashas Chukas uses the theory of Newton before him, opposites react by explaining the functioning of the parah aduma to a certain extent.
Trump was not under age at 22.
It makes him anti semitic by supporting anti semites.
Syag, don’t you remember Trump encouraging people to punch each other and offers to pay their legal bills?
Rechavom split up the Eretz Yisroel because he listened to young inexperienced advisers, similarly Trump fired or encouraged his top experienced advisers to resign. How can you make a good decision?
I know about the violence in YWN. I said that Trump should be impeached for idiocy making himself look like he is guilty. Similarly, even though he surely is not an anti-semite, but he makes himself look like one.
Syag, We have never had so much violence against Jews. By not standing up strongly against them, you make it look that you approve of it and encourage it.
Obama and Clinton have never shown openly that they support the white nationalist. We don’t have to supporr Israel blindly in everything they do as Trump makes us believe that it is anti-semitism to disagree with them.
We know Trump has a narcisistic personal disorder, but is he also schizophrenic?
klugeryid, you tell me, if he is for the Jews, why does he give the impression that he is with the white nationalists, who hate the Jews?
Trump only cares about his own interest, caring less for the country.
For the above, I agree with laughing, he is oheiv es atzmo, אוהב את עצמו.
Trump wants to look good in front of the Jews, He encourages anti-semitism by siding with the white nationalists in Charleston, NC and then he does an executive order to stop it.
The dreidel usually a ג – ganz , whole , you receive everything in the bank, ה – halb , half, you receive half, ש – schtell hinein (arain) , place the designated amount in the bank, נ – nothing, you lose your turn.
Kvitlach – you must get 21 to win, if you stop and the banker deals and catches up (more or equal) he wins. If you have twenty one, you say twenty one and you win before the banker deals . If you or the banker have more than 21 they lose.
The Mechaber C’M 207, 16 says that if you make a proclamation to be mochel from then (meachshov) , it works, so does the SMA in s’k 46.
Joseph, so why is he quite and misleading?
How does he penalize them?
With these games, we have a problem with asmachte lo kanye. Can the person say ahead of the game, whatever someone wins I am mochel?
This desentisising is also true in rock and roll.
CS, Are you speaking from knowledge? The Rambam says at the end of 17th Perek of Hilchas Kiddush Hachodash that when it comes to Math, we can rely on the goyim because a logical proof is impartial towards religion. Look at the sefer Habris from the 18th century encompassing all the knowledge of his time. So, we cannot generalize but everything must be judged on its merit. When it comes to classics, read a summary by google it, and then decide.
Stopping needs a good explanation whereas not giving is easier to explain fearing war escalation.
It can be that there is a difference between fear and honor. Fear is from far whereas honor is as mentioned can be from closeness, but be careful about being too close. In Pirkei Avos, we want you to support the talmidei chachomim as part of your family, but you should still respect them and don’t look down on them.
Trump who did not stand up for white nationalism in Charleston, NC is the one who encorages anti-semitism.
The Chasan Sofer explains that the chacham cleverly in the Haggadah uses a similar language like the rasha to get the rasha to reveal himself thinking that the chacham is also a rasha. The white nationalist think that Trump is one of them.Hashem there is speaking to the group in plural, whereas in Aseres Hadibros, He ia speaking to everyone directly.
MDG, my logic is a gemora in Bava Kama a ganev is worse than the gazlen. Better not to have a dinner at all than to invite everyone but the prince. Better not to give any military aid at all than to give and then stop.
Joseph, Rav Ovadya YD 7,20 does not have to be authoritative, but he always covers the topic at hand in great detail. I also pointed out the question how Rabbi Yeshua ben Perachai was his rebbi. Yabia Omer YD 3,9.
Speaking in third person to the parents is not a good idea. Honor them, but still be close to them in order that the child should reveal his/her problems. The Torah says Avicha not Aviv in third person. See your father as avicha and your mother as imecha. The Rav Abarbanel says that the way you behave towards your parents, your children will behave towards you thereby you yourself are contributing to your long life. The yeshivas should not take it for granted, but put more emphasis on it.
MDG, look at my previous post about Obama, Reply #1812820
Sometimes we can learn mussar from a Non-jewish book, The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain
(Samuel Clemens) where it demonstrates what is in Pirkei Avos אל תדין את חבירך עד שתגיע למקומו by switching places they learn what the other experiences.There is an argument about wearing a sheitel alone without any other covering on the street between the Shiltei Hagiborim who might be matir whereas the Beer Sheva, 17 or 19 assers. There is a sefer on this topic called הכתר והכבוד לחי עולמים it is full of pictures of rebbis where the talmidim quote the view of their rebbis.
See Yabia Omer 7,20 about not learning.
There is a Midrash לך רד כי שחת עמך – מרדות הם צריכים I saw an explanation somewhere that Moshe Rabbenu was told by Hashem that even though he is the most knowledgeable rebbi, we need someone strict who uses a stick. You are too soft for them.
They don’t consider Dec 24 nitel night but Jan 6 because of the 13 days adjustment to the calendar.
The Malbim in Parashas Noach explains that the mabul created a chemical change which affected the carbon test and things were seen older than they actually are.
I never heard this.
There is an apparent conflict between the Torah and science who determines gender. The Torah says that the woman does, whereas science says that women have 2 x cromosones and man has x and y. So the man who can give an x or y would determine the gender. To reconcile both, we can say that the woman creates an environment that makes the man give the corresponding cromosones.
By not providing the help Ukrane needs and thereby showing that the US is not backing them, and also showing the approval of annexing of Crimea, Trump is enpowering Russia to annex more of Ukrane and of Europe ( appeasement, give a finger wanting the whole hand) which is dangerous to our national security.
syag, what part is incorrect?
By holding back appropriated funds for his own benefit thereby endangering our national security and not for corruption as the Bidens were already corrupt before, Trump violated the constitution and he needs to be impeached.
My parents and myself emigrated to the USA from Sopron, Hungary on the Austrian boarder.
Grand Parents, Sheva Kehilos in Austria, Lockenbach and Kobersdorf. Mistaken post as they never immigrated but lived and died there.
Did he hear from the Alter Rebbe saying it?
