Reb EliezerParticipant
coffee addict, I gave a proof to your disclaimer, no feeling apply regarding Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantcoffee adict, the Sefer Hachinuch says that whoever prays to Hashem, have mercy on me like you have mercy on the bird, we quite him down because he makes Hashem’s commandments humanly with feelings. If this was the case, shechita would not be allowed.
Reb EliezerParticipantA woman being with an abusive husband is gehenom.
Reb EliezerParticipantHaimy, now we can understand the brocho of the women שעשני כרצונו with there existence to serve their husband they fullfil the will of Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere are two times that the redemption can come, if it comes the fixed time, then we must have a king as harsh as Haman to force us into teshuva whereas if we want the redemption earlier, then we have to yearn for it with a full heart by making teshuva from love by most of the Bnei Yisroel as stated in the Sefer Beis Elokim from the Mabit. This is what we say maybe in the Mi Sheberach, healing of the spirit, teshuva, or healing of the body by forcing it into teshuva.
Reb EliezerParticipantCS, we say on Yom Kippur viduy, we are full of sin and You are full of mercy. Hashem is like the mother, who cleans the baby from the filthy diaper, purifying us from sin.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe mishna says the best of the doctors belong in the gehinom because they don’t ask advice. They say as a joke that we need good doctors for the gehinom.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says the gehenom is 60 times as hot as our fire.
August 22, 2019 3:34 pm at 3:34 pm in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1778350Reb EliezerParticipantIn the news, Rav Hagaon R`Yitzckok Zilberstein Shlita says that Torah is missing this time which protects but Torah protects even when he is not learning, maybe not enough Torah learning for protection of direct dangers.
Reb EliezerParticipantmdd1, In EY there is no chibut hakever, so he could commit great aveirus in EY and only the neshomo will suffer disagreeing with the gemora that it with the guf are punished together.
Reb EliezerParticipantmdd1, Is the guf also punished for doing the aveira?
Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, what you say is correct, for the wicked is יורדים ואין עולים, they are thrown in and not taken out, but for others, it is a temporary cleansihg process.
August 22, 2019 12:33 am at 12:33 am in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1778146Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, it is a dangerous situation where people should take precaution and it is a common thing to get harmed.
Reb EliezerParticipantDavid Hamelech davens מאין יבא עזרי – as we find עזר כנגדו will she be earthly (knowing how to deal with people) or heavenly (how to behave towards Hashem) עזרי מעם ה’ עושה שמים וארץ if she is G-d sent. she can be both heavenly and earthly.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvraham davened that Yitzchok should find the proper shidduch through the help of Eliezer and so did Eliezer.
August 21, 2019 9:50 pm at 9:50 pm in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1778114Reb EliezerParticipantIf the midas hadin rules says the Rav Ohr Hachaim Hakadash we have to show a mesiras hanefesh to have the midas harachamim rule, so tefila should have an effect.
August 21, 2019 9:28 pm at 9:28 pm in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1778107Reb EliezerParticipantPhilosopher, it says ‘שומר פתאים ה Hashem protects the fools, but not if it is שכיח הזיקא if the harm happens often.
Reb EliezerParticipantBecause of the above question we can conclude that the gehenim is not always a punishment but a cleansing process.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat do you do that the neshomo is not responsible because it needs the guf to do the aveira, so they get punished together?
August 21, 2019 12:32 pm at 12:32 pm in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1777875Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, you are right, If we do aveiros and we get into dangerous situations, we don’t have פרקלטים גדולים, great defenders to be worthy to be saved through miracles.
Reb EliezerParticipantI have Stearn & Foster which is very good.
August 21, 2019 1:13 am at 1:13 am in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1777673Reb EliezerParticipantThey say about Basyeh the daughter of Pharaoh when she stretched out her hands and it grew, how did she know that it will grow? She put in all her effort and then prayed to come to fruition.
August 20, 2019 11:33 pm at 11:33 pm in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1777654Reb EliezerParticipantOnce we did everything to protect against drowning and it happens anyway, then we must scrutinize our ways.
August 20, 2019 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1777639Reb EliezerParticipantEven Shmuel Hanovi avoided getting into obvious physical danger when he was commanded by Hashem to anoint David.
August 20, 2019 11:14 pm at 11:14 pm in reply to: Learning From the Recent Drowning Tragedies #1777636Reb EliezerParticipantעולם כמנהגו נוהג sometimes we are not worthy of miracles of being saved. סכנה חמורי מאיסורי a danger requires more stringency than an issur. Hashem creates the refuah before the makah because once the makah comes, we might not be worthy to be saved. לעולם יתפלל אדם שלא יחלה a person should daven not to become sick because he might not be worthy to be healed.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe president says, guns don’t kill, people kill. They both do as the guf and neshomo don’t sin individually, so they are punished together as the stealing from the fruit tree where the blind holds the lame are punished together.
Reb EliezerParticipantIn order to arrive to the truth in learning you have to listen to opposite views as the Beis Hilel listened to the Beis Shamai first because of their humility. Trump fires his adversaries, so he ends up with tunnel vision. Rebbi Yochanan missed Rash Lokish because he asked kashyes on his statement which created רווחא דשמעתתא expansion of our understanding.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf there is no difference in halacha, some fun can be made. What sweetens the tea, sugar or mixing? The answer is mixing and sugar is required to know how long to mix.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is important that a Brisker Chakira should make a difference in halacha not just the Rambam whom we don’t always follow. An example is the meaning of שומע כעונה. If it means that ir makes you speak, the problem is , how can you be yotze megilla when you don’t have one personally? We must say that your speaking from the mouth of the baal koreh who has a megilla, so you don’t need one yourself. They say that the kohen can be motzei another kohen in duchenen but he must also raise his hands. Raising the hands is a physical part of the mitzva whereas holding a kos is not. So you don’t need a kos to be yotze kiddush from someone else.
‘Reb EliezerParticipantThere are two kinds of learning styles. bekios and pilpul. It is not a good idea to “kvetch on a blat’, but ‘fuhren’ or traveling is not good either. Look at the Sefer תנו כבוד לתורה from RAV Shimon Furst z’l and Rav Noach Isaac Oelbaum Shlita on his hakdomas complaining that halacha considerations in learning are being side stepped. Look at the Sefer חדשים גם ישנים from Rav Yonasan Steif ztz’l where he balances both. The Rif, Rosh and Rambam should be emphasized in learning because they are the עמודי הוראה. The Mechaber follows their majority in psak.
August 14, 2019 12:11 pm at 12:11 pm in reply to: In honor of Tisha B'av. What you respect about… #1774678Reb EliezerParticipantI respect Hatzala and Misaskim for their devotion to help.
August 13, 2019 2:05 pm at 2:05 pm in reply to: Should Wedding gowns for the extended family be discontinued? #1773527Reb EliezerParticipantWe have a place where you can borrow gowns for the wedding. The Dubner Magid compares the borrowing of the neshomo to this. We have to make sure that we return it without any smudges.
Reb EliezerParticipantWomen don’t say שעשני אשה because men have more mitzvos than women. They say in the positive because by women it was beneficial for them to be created, whereas by men נח לו לאדם שנברא משלא נברא would have been easier to be born than not to be born. Explains the Meharsha that we would have accomplished more by not being created than being created since there are 365 negative commandments and only 248 positive commandments. Once we were created יפשפש במעשיו, he should scrutinize his actions, through teshuva meahavah where averos turn into mitzvos gaining another 365 positive commandments to 613 or ימשמש במעשיו accentuate his actions, ,through kavono in mitzvos doubling the amount of positive commandments to 496.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe women make a brocho שעשני כרצונו blessing for their existence being the will Hashem to serve their mate.
If he is worthy she is an eizer, otherwise she is kenegdo.August 12, 2019 7:37 pm at 7:37 pm in reply to: In honor of Tisha B'av. What you respect about… #1773081Reb EliezerParticipantI respect Torah education in Yeshivas, so eveyone should write a letter of his yeshiva experiences at voice.pearlsny.org.
August 12, 2019 6:58 pm at 6:58 pm in reply to: Vegas Massacre: 59 Good Reasons to Outlaw Automatic Weapons #1773061Reb EliezerParticipantI just heard that the 2nd amendment was instituted to protect human lifes not vice versa.
August 12, 2019 6:51 pm at 6:51 pm in reply to: Vegas Massacre: 59 Good Reasons to Outlaw Automatic Weapons #1773056Reb EliezerParticipantIt doesn’t mean all guns should be outlawed, but these guns that are used in combat causing great harm must be forbiddeh for the individual to use.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer paskens that the issur of riding on a steamboat is not because of melacha but shaboson, not resting.
August 8, 2019 10:06 pm at 10:06 pm in reply to: Fighting antisemitism won’t stop another Holocaust R”L #1771890Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the Klei Yokor this week on פנו לכם צפומה to be hidden ih galus and not to make the goyim jealous by building fancy houses and also not to forget that we are strangers in a strange land like it happened in mitzraim.
Reb EliezerParticipantinterjection – it could be related. Because of eitz hadaas women were punished to suffer at birth, so in order to
forget it and have more children, there daas was diminished.Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer’s words:
חתם סופר מסכת נדה דף מה עמוד ב
בינה יתירא באשה יותר מבאיש אם הדבר כפשוטו הוא תמוה קצת ומוכחש בחוש והנ”ל בזה ע”ד שאמרו אם אין בינה אין דעת ואם אין דעת אין בינה והמובן מפשוטו הוא כי הבינה הוא העיון החריף ההולך לעיין למרחוק והוא טועה ברוב ע”ד אגב חורפא שבשתא. וע”כ צריך לזה מדה אחרת והוא הדעת ליישב הדברים בלבו ולעיין באחריתם הטובה היא אם רעהReb EliezerParticipantThese are the words of the Shulchan Aruch:
שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות תלמוד תורה סימן רמו סעיף ו
צוו חז”ל שלא ילמד אדם את בתו תורה, מפני שרוב הנשים אין דעתן מכוונת להתלמד, ומוציאות דברי תורה לדברי הבאי לפי עניות דעתן. אמרו חכמים: כל המלמד את בתו תורה, כאילו מלמדה תיפלות (פי’ דבר עבירה). כה] בד”א בתורה שבע”פ; <ד> אבל תורה שבכתב לא ילמד אותה לכתחלה, ואם מלמדה אינו כמלמדה תיפלות (רמב”ם וסמ”ג ולא כמקצת ספרי הטור).Reb EliezerParticipantIsn’t Tikun Chatzos depressing?
Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the mishna in taanis לא הי’ יו’ט לישראל it was a day of forgiveness, as the gezera of the meraglim was over in the fortieth year, like yom kippur where the girls would dress up in white.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe way we see it is that the sun is moving. The Magen Avraham says by lighting candles for yom tov אין הכמה לאשה no differentiation between shabbos and yom tov.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee in the Sefer Hatodah all the reasons in great detail.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe above is part of a personality test (mbti – Myers Briggs Type Indicator)
Where you focus your attention – Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
The way you take in information – Sensing (S) or INtuition (N)
How you make decisions – Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
How you deal with the world – Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)Reb EliezerParticipantThey say that there are two kinds of people, thinking and feeling. The women are more feeling people.
Reb EliezerParticipantCS, It say:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת תענית דף ל עמוד ב
מכאן אמרו: כל המתאבל על ירושלים זוכה ורואה בשמחתה, ושאינו מתאבל על ירושלים – אינו רואה בשמחתה.It does not say whoever rejoices for the redemption will be joyful, but ‘mourns’ on the chorban.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe swordfish in the Jewish Press article above is kosher but not practical because the whole fish is too expensive and a piece is not recognizable and would not fit in the fridge.
