    Two wrongs don’t make a right. If the previous presidents were not impeached, does not make it right. When someone eats garlic and his mouth smells, does not mean that he should eat more garlic.

    devny, I would think that we stop learning and lighrt Chanukah candles as we stop learning to lein the megiila. The women is lighting to satisfy her own obligation. If he happens to be an away from his house,, is a different situation. He has an obligation to light on his own.

    This is similar to saying , you are welcome in our shul but it is locked and you can’t enter because I am not giving you the key or combination. Prof. Turley says not enough proof, but Trump claims presidential immunity, so he doesn’t have to cooperate with documents or allowing peoole to testify in impeachment investigatiion prescribed by the constitution. Therefore, his obtructiion is violating the constitution and he needs to be impeached.

    Only according to Hillel can a bosor v’dom be Meshiach because his coming and Techyiyas Hamesim will be at one time, but he is dismissed from halacha.

    Even among ashkanazim the kittel is hidden under the coat. Chupah not performed in a shul, firsr. the chuppa be under the stars wherre the Tiferes Yisroel says that the acronym in the RAMA was misrepresented by the reformed and two, ir is chukas hoakim.

    Haifagirl,

    To clarify: The argument above is if Techiyas Hamasim will be together with Meshiach or 40 years after his coming.

    We pray: ויעשה כולם אגודה אחת לעשות רצונך בלבב שלם so we should all unite to be able to do the will of Hashem with a complete dedicated heart.

    Haifagirl.

    It is an argument in Perek Chelek between Hillel and others if Meshiach will come right away (Hillel holds as the time in between was used up already) or others (forty years in between).

    There is also an argument if the Temple will be built first (Yerushalmi) before his coming.

    You are quoting an Rav Avudraham from the Beis Yosef O’CH 117 whixh I questioned before, why he uses the expression for the leap year ‘היה’ was, he should have used ‘יהי will come? He says February ‘was’ 28 days or 29 days rather than ‘will be’ the next year?

    Ubi, I think when you say preceding you are making a mistake when It is Dec 4, we say tal umotor on its night not before, similarly, Dec 5 is not before but on its night. Thursday night and not Wednesday night not after the moon where the day starts the day before but after the sun where the night follows the day.

    Simply check the automnomal equinox for the year. If it is September 22, Tal Umotor is December 4 and if September 23 then Tal Umotor will be December 5. ubi, I have a problem with the Rav Avudraham above who says passed leap year. Shouldn’t it be the coming leap year?

    ubi, I accept the goyim’s calculations for the beginning of Automn adjusting for the calendar and not including the first day which makes my calculations simpler. See the Rambam at the end of the 17th perek of Hilchas Kiddush Hachodesh (17,24).

    The gemora in Perek Chelek where the talmidim think it is their rebbi:

    תלמוד בבלי מסכת סנהדרין דף צח עמוד ב
    מה שמו? דבי רבי שילא אמרי: שילה שמו, שנאמר עד כי יבא שילה. דבי רבי ינאי אמרי: ינון שמו, שנאמר יהי שמו לעולם לפני שמש ינון שמו. דבי רבי חנינה
    אמר: חנינה שמו, שנאמר אשר לא אתן לכם חנינה. ויש אומרים מנחם בן חזקיה שמו, שנאמר כי רחק ממני מנחם משיב נפשי.

    It also looks like there are two views of Rashi if he can be from the dead:

    תלמוד בבלי מסכת סנהדרין דף צח עמוד ב
    אמר רב: אי מן חייא הוא – כגון רבינו הקדוש, אי מן מתיא הוא – כגון דניאל איש חמודות.

    רש”י מסכת סנהדרין דף צח עמוד ב
    אי מן חייא הוא כגון רבינו הקדוש – אם משיח מאותן שחיים עכשיו ודאי היינו רבינו הקדוש, דסובל תחלואים וחסיד גמור הוה, כדאמרינן בבבא
    מציעא (פה, א), ואם היה מאותן שמתו כבר – היה דניאל איש חמודות שנדון ביסורין בגוב אריות וחסיד גמור היה, והאי כגון לאו דווקא, לישנא אחרינא:
    כגון רבינו הקדוש, כלומר, אם יש דוגמתו בחיים היינו רבינו הקדוש, ואם דוגמא הוא למתים, היינו כגון דניאל איש חמודות.

    The reason we must adjust the Tekufas Tishri by 13 days becauwe Pope Gregory ih 1589 created a Gregorian calendar over Julian Caesar’s calendar because he adjusted the calendar by 10 days. The other days difference had to do wiith a leap year for a complete century. This should be a leap year since years divisible by 4 should be a leap year. The complete century is a hundred years. He changed it that only if is divisible by 400 will be a leap year.The years 1600 and 2000 were ok; The years 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years any more. This makes the differende of another 3 days for a total of 13 days.

    ubi, I think you are off by a day the Equinox Tekufas Tishri adjusted should be October 6 not 7.

    September 23 + 13 = October 6 (not 7)
    October 6 + 60 = Dec 5

    That is what my local shul luach showed but both of you are correct that it should be Dec 5.

    Equinox Tekufas Tishri = Sept 23
    + 60 = Nov 22
    + 13 days difference between Gregorian and Julian Calendar.

    I emailed my shul luach editor.

    If you look at the gemora in Perek Chelek, where each of the talmidim thought that their rebbi was Meshiach. According to the Rav Abarbanel, Meshiach is an acronym for Menachem, Shiloh, Yinon and Chanina. There rebbies were all alive at that time.

    Chanukah is related to Sukkos. According to the Beis Shamai we diminish the candles by days as the oxen was diminished day by day. The Beis Hille holds that as days went by, our spirutuality increased whereas the Beis Shamai wants to dimihish our materialism as the oxen representing the umas haolam are diminished. Sukkas where we celebrate a good harvest is our holiday instead of Thanksgiving Day.

    How come the Beis Hilell holds that divorce can be done even if she burns his food? The answer is, if he wants to divorce for that, then there is no help for that marriage. The mizbeach cries for divorcing the first wife because the mizbeach brihgs peace. At the wedding they are mochel the sins because sholam bayis is already such a geat nisoyan and they doh’t need to be also burdened with all their sins.

    The Chasam Sofer questiions, why don’t females light when the neis also involved them? He says that originally they lit outside and it was improper for them to light among the men, so even now that we light inside the original custom remained . The Chasan Sofer explains the custom for the women not working as long the candles are burning. The yevonim wanted to eliminate Rosh Chodesh in order not to keep yomim tovim where the women light the candles. Min haTorah there are eighr days, so the women don’t work and the men light for the neis of the oil.

    Avi K, אם תהיה בעינך כמאלך ה’ צב-אות תורה מבקשה מפיו, let’s give credit where credit is due to the Hafloh, rebbi of the Chasam Sofer, so the Chasam Sofer echoes hiim by explaining that the moon was willing to diminish itself to allow the stars shine.

    Yabia Omer, there is an argument between the Rabbenu Taam and the Rambam if the saying of an unnecessary brocho is assur biblically because of Lo Siso which is the view of the Rambam see SA O’CH 215,4 or rabbinically as the Rabbenu Taam see the Tosafos Rosh Hashana 33,1. If women make a brocho on a time dependent mitzva is related to this argument. Halel on Rosh Chodesh is only a custom. so according to the Mechaber above a brocho should not be made. In SA O’CH 422,2 according to one view holds that in tzibur you do make a brocho. Could be that this view holds that Halel betzibur is not only a minhag but parsimei nisei.

    CS, The Democrats follow the Jews whereas the Republicans follow the goyim. Only the goyim are commanded on the iborim. By the Jews punisment by the beis din is monetary. The Meharsha says that is why Pharaoh used the Jewish midwives as they are not commanded killing a fetus in the mothers womb.
