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?
If you invite bochurim for your benefit, you must feed them properly even less than 20.
Maybe it proves that the Bidens are not corrupt because otherwise he would have investigated them before when there was a corrupt president in Ukrane?
Joseph, there is a heter. If you can be mechalel shabbos for pikuach nefesh, you can be certainly take his kidney. Hashem will create new kidneys for him when he becomes alive. See the Noda Beyehuda, who is matir when the person being saved is infront of us.
Milhouse, It is still second hand knowledge. Did he hear that the Alter Rebbe said it? If someone says the Rebbe is Meshiach, must he be Meshiach? This is not one of the thirteen emunas.
These bochurim contribute by singing to the simcha of the wedding.
philosipher, I asked before, If Biden and his son were corrupt, why did Trump give aid before Zelinsky?
I remember that I went to a wedding to a good friend as a bochur and was fed salami sandwiches. Was this proper?
We find expressions that make our understanding easier as the eyes, mouth of Hashem even though one of thw thirteen belief is that He has no body. We don’t understand how He is everywhere, so, lesaber es haozen, we find a way to make it easier for us to understand. This explains also that He is above the concept of time.
Milhouse, Until you know that he said it, you can criticize it.
Avi K, what you said is a Klei Yokor who questions why animals with one symbol like the camel or pig are treif because of their good symbol first. He says, that is what makes them treif being a hypocrit, their good part.
The Theory of Relativity teaches us the formula e=mc(square). If something is faster than the speed light, it has infnite energy. Hashem kavayochel is everywhere, so He must travel faster than the speed of light, so His energy is infinite. He created the world from energy.
A minature solar system in every atom of an element proves that only Hashem was able to create it. The string of energy theory shows that Hashem imbeded some of His energy into everything.
The Daroshas Horan 1, explains that by including the bad smelling chelbano into the spices, will strengthen the other spices to overcome its smell.
If individuals fill the chesronos of an other like hydrogen fills the chesronos of oxygen forming water which cannot be nomally separated, so the group formed will not be able to be separated בורא נפשות רבות וחסרונן.
Look at the Yechaveh Daas at the end of the 5th chelek as he discusses how psak halacha is derived.
Knowing certain sciences like chemistry increases emunah.
The theory of relativity is Masechas Yevomos.
MDG, Look at the Yaam Shel Shlomo on Bava Kama.
Meno, I don’t get it. Why can’t you donate one kidney?
Meno, did you see the reference above in Yechaveh Daas 3,84 from Rav Ovadya Yosef ztz’l?
On Purim we say ארור המן ברוך מרדכי on Chanukah there is argument between Beis Shamai and Beis Hilel how to light. Is the destructiion of our enemies or salvation of us greater? The gematria for Purim is the same, but ארור is greater than המן indicating that he diminished, whereas ברוך is less than מרדכי indicating he was elevated. The Beis Hilel emphasizes the elevation of the spirit whereas the Beis Shamai the dimishment of the phisical and material. The Maasei Hashem says on the Haggadah of Pesach on והקב’ה מצילנו מידם and HKBH saves us from their hands, saving is greater than destruction. Saving proofs that Hashem loves us, but their destruction does not prove we are good only that they are bad.
The dreidel has גשנה – נס גדול היה שם gematria משיח what about EY? נגהפ – נס גדול היה פה gematria צמח.
Purim is Kabolas Hatorah for Torah Shebeksav (GUF) where as Chanukah according to the Yaaros Devash and Chasam Sofer is Kabolas Hatorah onTorah Shebaal Peh (Neshomo). The tuma was a tuma derabonon which through the neis was reinforced.I think the Baal Hatanya says ואהבת לרעך כמוך you should love your fellow man like you, he is just like you, he also has a chelek elokai mimaal, a neshomo.
It says literally והייתם נקיים be clean.
The Ben Ish Chai says, עבירה stands for הב ירע when someone says constantly, give me, is and will be bad.
It is the question of the Taz why on Purim the emphasis is on mishteh vesimdha whereas Chanukah lehodos ulehalel? He explains, that on Purim, Haman wanted to destroy their body but Chanukah, the yevonim wanted to destroy their soul. It says in Pirkei Avos, wild animal comes to the world for swearing falsely. Asks the Binah Leitim, why it says comes to the world? He answers that the person not speaking properly, himself, turns into a wild animal, so it is important for us on Chanukah to cleanse ourselves spiritually by cleansing our mouths.
devny, Rav Chaim Shlita agrees with me to stop learning and the husband should light himself,
see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1813010/rav-chaim-kanievsky-shlita-on-chanukah.htmlsyag, A smart person knows what he does not know and will not argue.
Syag – Did you see the WAPO that the Ukranean election interference is a russian Putin talking point which never happened?
