    The Meharal is saying above that because of the love of the Torah, we forget its origin where it is coming from. The fact is that we are able to be mechadesh should reflect that this ability comes from Hashem who has hidden in it this sodos and through a kasheh we are able to reveal them.

    Yiddish is the language of unity which most Jews of the world speak, so I would expect the CTRebbe to speak yiddish.

    This was the argument at the meraglim wheher the redemption will come spontatenously with only the help of Hashem or together with our help. The meraglim held that they have to put their effort into it which they are unable to do. Currently, we have a similar argument between the Minchas Elozor and the Aim Habonim Somecha who says it will come slowly like a עני רוכב על החמור.

    When these things are not needed, they are hidden and then they reappear like the rainbow. The tzadikim prktect the world from destruction and the rainbow is not required. See the Klei Yokor in Parshas Noach.

    Look at the mishna Sotah 9:12 that the use of the Shamir stopped after the destruction of the temple, the second beis hamikdash. See the Melaches Shliome there. It was created erev shabbos ben hashmoshas used to cut precious stones in the beis hamikdash. It was called Shamir to protect ir from cutting things accidentally.

    A pilpul is on a svora whereas a sugya is on a topic that appears frequently in shas. What is the meaning of שומע כעונה? Is it like speaking his own speech not having a sefer and a loud voice or the readers speech? A sugya
    would be if we say שומע כעונה and when do we say it?

    There are places where proper pronounciation is important as we discussed before in another OP. It changes the meaning. ידמו כאבן. Having a dagesh chazek in the the dalet makes it yidumu meaning silent whereas yidmu means similar or like.

    Tabia Omer , You know the psak of the Rav Yosef Karo, If two of the poskim from Rif, Rambam and Rosh agree, he follows their ruling. So first the emphasize should be on this three. Followed by the Beis Yosef, then the Ashkenazim who are more affected by the Rosh, who was well versed in Tosfas and the other ashkenazic rishonim followed by the RMA within the Tur in Darkei Moshe.

    It seems to be the old shalah of sinai veokar horim where we say that sinai is greater because with his knowledge he can destroy the whole foundation of the building. So halacha would be greater see the Orchas Tzadikim Shaar Hatorah.

    ספר אורחות צדיקים שער התורה
    ועוד בדור הזה נשתכחה התורה, מחמת כי הלומדים הללו סבורים לעשות כמו הראשונים להחזיק בפלפולים, אך אינם דומים לחכמי צרפת כלל וכלל! הלא לבם היה פתוח כאולם ותורתם היתה אומנתם, והיו ממיתים עצמם עליה יומם ולילה, לכן השיגו וידעו בפלפולם. אבל עכשיו אינם יודעים כן, אלא מבלבלים זה את זה ומבטלים רוב היום, ועוסקים באותו לימוד כחצי יום, והלימוד שלהם עראי דעראי והביטול קבע. אבל בימי חכמי התלמוד הלכו ללמוד עשר שנים ויותר, והיה לימודם גדול בקביעות, שאם היה אחד מתעטש, לא היו אומרים “אסותא” מפני ביטול בית המדרש (ברכות נג א), מזה הענין יש לדעת רוב קביעותם.

    My Rebbe the previous Matersdorfer Rav ztzv’l pronounced the Hebrew u as the Hungarian u with two dots on top like German ‘uber’ which is not available in English. The Chasidishe pronounce it as ee like she in Hebrew. Like the joke, how does a Chasidishe cow go? mee mee.

    Translation from yiddish:

    When Jewish children sit and learn, learn the holy Torah,
    What does our Holy Creator do above in heaven?
    He calls his angels and he says to them.
    Look at my beloved loyal children
    Even if they are in pain and it goes for them badly
    They still do the will of Hashem like caring servants
    Even if they are in danger,, they live in fright and fear,
    They forget their pain and rejoice with the holy Torah,

    Why do we designate Kabolas Hatorah the 6th of Sivan instead of the 7th when the chachomim said it occured?
    Says the Chasan Sofer because for Hashem it is more important the day when we accepted the Torah wirh a full heart.

    rationnal, in yiddish we translate as kegen which gets translated against. כנגד ארבע בנים דברה תורה it is true the Satmar Rav ztz’l translates that the Torah is against and does not agree with any of the children. אעשה לו עזר כנגדו translated I will make him a helper corresponding to him. The Midrash says זכה עזר לא זכה כנגדו. I translated it from yiddish.

    The Kedusha of shabbos increases as the day progresses. בה, בו. בם. The Chasam Sofer explains that is why in the morning we make a kedusha rabba. There are three tefilos which the Tur explains is against three shabosos, shabbos of creatiion, shabbos of kabolas hatorah and all eternal shabbos. The afternoon is the holiest of the three having the sudah against all three.

    Korach believed that no leader is necessary because we are all holy on the same level. People are judged above according the level of their holiness. Kodoshim is holier than truma. A kohen is holier than a yisroel. There are twenty five leveks of the neshomo. When he fights his yetzer hora and he defeats it, he gets a higher level of neshomo because the yetzer hora can’t be stronger he can take. See the Sefer Habris.

    The Ben Ish Chai explains that someone did not want to have a beard because he was not born with it then hakheh es shinov as he was not born with his teeth either.

    The Germans marched into Budapest March 19, 1944. Horthy officially stopped the deportation on July 8, 1944. The Arrow Cross kidnapped his son, so he was forced to resign. They took over leadership October 15, 1944.
    They wanted to liquidate the Budapest Ghetto around 70,000 Jews. Raul Wallenberg saved it and was freed January 17, 1945. Carl Lutz and Raul Wallenberg saved half the Jewish population of Budapest around 125,000 people.

    The Rabbenu Bechaya at the end of Parashas Ki Siso explains the expression חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני Rebbi only wrote down what was absolutely necessary and not what was self understood from the mishna. When the generations became weaker in knowledge, more had to be written down. This is how the gemora came into being. So what was left out of the mishna, was left out on purpose.
