Reb EliezerParticipant
There 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 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantsam, maybe that is why this month is called Av. We recognize that Hashem is our father and whatever He does is for our benefit.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe it is called Otzar Hashemos see http://www.hebrewbooks..org
Reb EliezerParticipantCS, attending a siyum every night is circumventing the intention of recognizing that the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed and we are unable to make our daily sacrifice. For the ashkenazim it is a time mourning.. This mourning is greater than avelos because it involves all of us. We will have seven weeks of simcha after tisha beov.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says כל שמתאבל על ירושלים זוכה ורואה בשמחתה whoever mourns the chorban of Jerusalem wilk see its happiness. Explains the Chasam Sofer that the deceased becomes forgotten, but not the chorban because we trust that the Beis Hamikdash will be rebuilt soon in our time so its not dead
Reb EliezerParticipantdafbiyun, Look ar the Sefer Kesef Nivchar with a haskoma of the Chasam Sofer containing 160 sugyos with all the gemora references folkowed by the psak halacha.
August 5, 2019 2:26 pm at 2:26 pm in reply to: Why do some Americans not eat the OU hechsher in E”Y? #1769964Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe in the palace of King they adhere to a higher standard.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen Meshiah will become, we will pasken like the Beis Shamai because currently we don’t understand their stringencies so we pasken like the Beis Hilel, but when he will come, we will acquire a new understanding ומלאה הארץ דעה and the majority will follow the Beis Shamai.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rabbenu Bechaye above translates the missing above on our mind and understanding meaning that there is lack in our understanding. Our mind is not as good as it used to be. The further we become from kabolas hatorah, our understanding of the Torah diminishes.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rabbenu Bechayu at the end of Parshes Ki Siso explains the expression in the gemora חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני something is missing, so we must learn it differently, not that there is something wrong with it ch’v, but it was left out on purpose. Rebbi realized that it can be understood without it, so it was unnecessary to include it. As the generations became weaker in understanding, elaboration in greater detail was necessary and the gemora and commentaries came about. This has evolved to the artscroll. Rav Noson Adler ztz’l had a photographic memory, so he only placed dots in the margin to remember by, believing that for him it was unnecessary to write things down,
Reb EliezerParticipantNev, the highest temperature where the baby’s belly is scalded but not the hands, so you pull it away before it.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe effort in artscroll is to find a page.

August 1, 2019 8:25 pm at 8:25 pm in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1768690Reb EliezerParticipantDY, yours ia -9 and ari-free’s problem is 9.
August 1, 2019 8:25 pm at 8:25 pm in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1768623Reb EliezerParticipant8/(2(2+2)) = 8 / 2(4) = 8/8 =1
Reb EliezerParticipantTo learn on your own, get a program gemara tutor, a multiple choice on the idioms of the gemora or a sefer onumber it. Once you learn them, it will help you set the words by recognizing these common expressions.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think you pull away your hand from the heat when the baby’s stomach would actually be scalded.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think it is more sensitive,
Reb EliezerParticipantThe source is:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת שבת דף מ עמוד ב
והיכי דמי יד סולדת בו? אמר רחבא: כל שכריסו של תינוק נכויתרבינו יהונתן מלוניל על הרי”ף מסכת שבת (לפי דפי הרי”ף) גמרא דף יט עמוד א
יד סולדת בו, נכוית מלשון ואסלדה בחילה, כלומר מתחממת הרבה יותר מדאי עד שמושך ידו לאחור מדאגה שלא תכוהToo pull away the hand is before it actually burns.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe baby’s stomach burns at a cooler temperature than the hand.
Reb EliezerParticipantShould be:
טור אורח חיים הלכות שבת סימן שיח
היד סולדת בו דהיינו כל שכריסו של תינוק נכוית בוReb EliezerParticipantI used above the wrong word רופס is where you put tefilin on the head.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is not the hand but the belly of a baby כריסו של תינוק רופס.
July 30, 2019 12:11 pm at 12:11 pm in reply to: DO WE REALLY HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE TO LIVE IN CHUTZ LA'ARETZ? #1767372Reb EliezerParticipantThe Aim Habonim Samecho brings a proof that Avraham Avinu went to Mitzraim because of hunger seeing that you can leave Eretz Yisroel for the necessity of a livelihood.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think it is the same as nifrar, passed away is a nice expression.
July 24, 2019 11:57 pm at 11:57 pm in reply to: New York State is Denying Access to Education to Anti-Vaxer Students #1764954Reb EliezerParticipantחתיחה above is misspelled should be חתיכה.
July 24, 2019 10:33 pm at 10:33 pm in reply to: New York State is Denying Access to Education to Anti-Vaxer Students #1764938Reb EliezerParticipantDY, I think I have a proof to your saying. It is called שויא אנפשיה חתיחה דאיסורא it does not say שויא אנפשיה איסורא which would mean any issur, but it says a slice which is nor known where it comes from, kosher or non-kosher.
Reb EliezerParticipantNev, the Ibn Ezra says that Tzipora was black.
Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the Midrash above, Tzipora was beautiful physically, because black is beautiful, and beautiful spritually, so Miriam held that there was no reason for Moshe Rabbenu to separate himself from her.
Reb EliezerParticipantBneiBarak Obama, we find by Miriam Behaloscho כי אשה כושית לקח. This is the Midrash:
ספרי במדבר פרשת בהעלותך פיסקא צט
כי אשה כושית לקח עוד למה נאמר [והלא כבר נאמר] על אודות האשה הכושית אלא מה ת”ל כי אשה כושית לקח יש לך אשה נאה ביופיה ולא במעשיה במעשיה ולא ביופיה כמה שנאמר נזם זהב באף חזיר אשה יפה וסרת טעם (משלי יא כב) זאת נאה בנויה ונאה במעשיה לכך נאמר כי אשה כושית לקח (סליק פיסקא). -
