Reb EliezerParticipant
coffee addict, the zohar says we come to this world because people don’t want a bread of shame, free handouts.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt 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
Reb EliezerParticipantThe tarrifs increase prices which creates a hardship for seniors like myself being on social security on a fixed income.
Reb EliezerParticipantQuayboardwarrior – what is left over after teruma is taken and so on.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantfanilygirl, you must play with the cards you were dealt with and pray to Hashem that your effort will bear fruits in shidduchim and everything else.
Reb EliezerParticipantHashem listens to those who see themselves not worthy to be listened to as stated in SA O’CH 98 at the end of the siman.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen Levi, I am not talking about guns and revolvers used for hunting and personel defense otherwise, we can outlaw cars also , bur assault weapons with magazines that are acquired only for domestic terror.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee addict, those that have the ability to work, teach them a skill. I was educated throgh the CETA progam by Project Cope through the Agudah in computer programming.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, let’s be realistic the RMA O’CH 128,24 was more realistic than you are. He paskens that we don’t duchan on shabbos because we are not fully in simcha as we are worrying about our livelihood.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe question above should be. why are the poor not richer?
August 29, 2019 4:40 pm at 4:40 pm in reply to: Younger siblings waiting for older to get engaged #1781437Reb EliezerParticipantSome people don’t want to win a lottery like that because it is a test as we say every morning don’t bring me to temptatiion because it can lead to shame.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen Levi, why are the poor hecoming richer?
Reb EliezerParticipantSam 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, who are we to expect that we are worthy to be listened to?
Reb EliezerParticipantNo 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantNot only the stock market but the whole economy, investment, consumption and government spending is based on perceptiion.
Reb EliezerParticipantMiriam, well said.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe close to one trillion yearly deficit through the tax cut mainly for the rich does not help the economy.
Reb EliezerParticipantOur president does not realize that the stock market is affected by perception. He should be quiet and not blame the fed chair for his doing.
Reb EliezerParticipantBen L, look ar my previous post on August 19th about guns.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, you misunderstood listening to the elders. I wasn’t talking about you but our president.
August 29, 2019 10:40 am at 10:40 am in reply to: Younger siblings waiting for older to get engaged #1781207Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, you don’t seem to believe in hishtadlus, so don’t go to a doctor. The midrash says, יכול שהוא יושב בטל ת”ל בכל מעשך אשר תעשה
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilospher, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t know what the source is. The mezuzah part I heard, nisuyin I said myself.
August 29, 2019 10:37 am at 10:37 am in reply to: Younger siblings waiting for older to get engaged #1781189Reb EliezerParticipantWe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis is the girsa in Bar Ilan:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת יומא דף כח עמוד ב
אמר רב: קיים אברהם אבינו כל התורה כולה, שנאמר עקב אשר שמע אברהם בקלי וגו’. אמר ליה רב שימי בר חייא לרב: ואימא שבע מצות! – הא איכא נמי מילה. – ואימא שבע מצות ומילה! – אמר ליה: אם כן מצותי ותורתי למה לי? אמר (רב) +מסורת הש”ס: [רבא]+ ואיתימא רב אשי: קיים אברהם אבינו אפילו עירובי תבשילין, שנאמר תורתי – אחת תורה שבכתב ואחת תורה שבעל פה.Reb EliezerParticipantOur presidenr has endandered the world by breaking up treaties and relationships.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosoper, as your name indicates, look Melachim (1,12) what happened when Rechavom, son of King Solomon, set aside the advice of the elders and listened to the young thereby ending up in the division of his kngdom.
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, the Satmar Rav ztz’l was a great talmid chacham as seen from his seforim Divrei Yoel.
Reb EliezerParticipantinmyopinion, the written interpretation, eruv tavshilin, is not a contradictiion as eikev also means what people step on which can mean a rabbinic prohibition.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantinmyopinion, I am familiar with the GR’A, so he is given you another view. We don’t question a darush which is something interesting.
Reb EliezerParticipantShe cannot cook either only what can be eaten on Yom Tov. We can prepare from Yom Tov on Shabbos only if guest can come on Yom Tov who can eat from it but here the guest are goyim, so Eruv Tavshilin will not work,
Reb EliezerParticipantHaving 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantChanah said that if You, Hashem don’t give me any children, I will (could) make myself a sotah and I will drink and be innocent and You will have to bless me with children.
Reb EliezerParticipantקשה 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantGrateful, look at the Rav Sapurna and what I said above about mincha and the Klei Yokor.
Reb EliezerParticipantGrateful, the pasuk above to pray to you ar the time of finding is no proof thar you pray for a mate, because it could mean after finding as a hakoras hatov.
Reb EliezerParticipantsyag, I want to add something, who thinks he knows everything as interpreted by the Ben Ish Chai איש בער לא ידע a man of emptiness who does not know it, and וכסיל לא יבין את זאת and a fool who does not understand it.
Reb EliezerParticipantTo 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantGrateful, thank you for pointing that out, but it doesn’t say he davened for her only that he found her there. The Klei Yokor says that propably he davened then for her.
Reb EliezerParticipantCS, 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.
