    It is 22.24 % (1-..10) x (1-..10) x (1-.-04) = .90 x ..90 x .96 = .7776 left over which is 1-.7776 =.2224 or 22.24% taken

    The tarrifs increase prices which creates a hardship for seniors like myself being on social security on a fixed income.

    It is worthy to quote the eloquent statement of then Shulchan Aruch above, don’t think I am worthy that HKB”H should fullfil my needs because II had the proper kavono in my prayers, as the opposite is true, this reminds above his sins, checking his actions saying that he relies on his own zechusim. Rather, he should think that HKB’H should do it because of his favor saying in his heart, who am I, poor and ashamed, go to ask from the King of Kings HKB’H, if not because of his great chasodim that he shows towards His creations.

    Ben Levi, The answer is Trump’s economy is good for the rich but not for the poor or middle class. Their income differentiation has becomie wider under Trump.

    Sam Klei, Jews go to a Rebbe to learn from his midos and be able to emulate him. I mentioned before that sometimes we are not worthy on our own to be listened to. The Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh says that at the sea, Moshe Rabbenu was told, don’t scream to me, tell the Bnei Yisroel to move. Asks he, why tefila will not help? When the ruler of the sea argued that the Jews also worshipped a'”z midas hadin took over, so they had to have midas horachamim rule over and show a mesiras nefesh by getting in the sea. Sometimes we need an intermediary as a conduit for the acceptance of our tefilos, so we choose someone great and holy to intercede in our behalf. We daven in a tzibur to be accepted as part of a tzibur led by a holy person, otherwise, our teflos might not reach Hashem but stolen by outside sources as stated before.

    No one said the guf is the gun. I am saying that sometimes two things contribute to one result like the guf and the neshomo to sin. Similarly, the gun and the person together contribute to the murder, so both should be held responsible.

    Philospher, great individuals whom we can emulate are better conduits in our tefilas who are listened to more than we are. We ask them to intercede in our behalf as Kolev went to the Avos asking them to pray for him not to follow the meraglim.

    We find that this was Lavan’s argument which was wrong for not telling Yaakov Avinu ahead of time and cheating him. If the older agrees that the younger marry first, fine.

    Philosopher, you are no phioosopher when you advocate Trump pushing out experienced Matis, Secretary of Defense and listening to Stephen Miller on immigrarion. We are befriending our enemies and alianating our alies. The tax cuts created a trillion dollar yearly deficits. He puts the world including Israel in danger by breaking nuclear treaties with Iran and Russia.

    Sam Klein, everyone knows what you saying, but Hashem Yisborach wants us to emulate His true servants therefore their behavior is honorable and worthy of respect. את ה’ אלקיך תירא – לרבות תלמודי חכמים.

    We can look at Elul as someone borrowing on installments. If he waits to pay off the loan at the end, it is very hard, so he should pay it off in installments. Similarly, our debt to Hashem for our sins can be paid off through teshuva at different installment times, every night, once a week, once a month or at the end of the year Elul. It aso accumulates. Don’t wait to your last day of life because we don’t know when it will be.

    Philosopher, if you think you know everything like our president, you don’t ask advice from everyone and you end up making mistakes. For this reasoh the mishna says at the end of Kidushin that the best of the doctors belong in the gehinom. The Beis Hilel only revealed their view after hearing from the Beis Shamai because of their great humility in order to arrive to the truth.

    Sam Klein, look at the first darush of the Yaaeos Devash and the mashel brought by the Chayei Adam on Erev Yon Kippur that if we don’t do mitzvos properly or our tefilas can be grabbed away by outside sources, so we need intermediaries whose tefilas are more readily accepted. We don’t know the proper kavonos.

    Sam Klein, by birchas kohanim why do we need a kohen? He is a conduit when we are not worthy to be answered directly by Hashem. By the Aigal, Hashem directly spoke to them by kabolas hatorah, so they did not need an intermediary to replace Moshe Rabbenu. Similarly, the Rebbe is a conduit.

    Having shalom bayis is a nisayon. The Mezuzah is put up slanted. There are two views, horizontal and vertical. We make a compromise to satisfy both views, This is something that both the bride and groom should keep in mind when they enter the house. The wedding is called nisuyin which means elevation. Each one of the mates should elevate the other by putting each other on a pedestal.

    קשה זוויגו של אדם כקריעת ים סוף the matching of a person with their mate is as great as the splitting of the sea. Explains the Chidushei Harim that splitting of the sea was unexpected, similarly to parnasa the shidduch comes unexpected. We must apply our effort but we don’t know if it will bear fruits, so we must pray for it. To have children, there is segulah to wear the hebrew letter ‘heh’ הא לכם זרע.

    To understand why Mincha: Eliyahu Hanovi was answered at mincha time. It reflects the poor worker who designates time when he is very busy, by sacrificing his time to Hashem showing love to Him, as the poor sacrifices his small sacrifice which is accepted by Hashem as the greatest sacrifice. This is the time to pray for what one requires most. He gives up some of his needs and Hashem fullfils all of his needs.

    The prayer above about finding a mate is applied to Yaakov Avinu, who wanted to sit and learn without worries for his livelihood as he went to Lavan poor without a penny. Elifaz cleaned him out from his wealth in order to obey his father Aisov’s command to kill him, and by making him poor he fulfiled his father’s wishes.

    CS, it can be found in a Sefer Maharam Sofer from the nephew of Rav Chaim Sofer (Machnei Chaim) student of the Chasam Sofer in a different fashion for someone who wants to sit and learn and be supported through the wife. If she is G-d sent, you can have your cake and eat it, by her having a business and you sitting and learning.
