    The Midrash Shmuel on Avos explains the mishna כל מחלוקת לשם שמים סופו להתקיים the question is who wants the arguments to stand? He explains that since the Beis Shamai helped the Beis Hilel to arrive to truth, they are also praise worthy and maybe therefore the Beis Hilel were preceded by the Beis Shamai because of their humility to hear an opposite view before making a decision.

    Joseph, As you mentioned the Jews left at the October 23, 1956 Hungarian Revolution against the Soviets. Around h 20,000 Jews left then. My father o’h was involved in gettting them through the border.

    Oberland is towards Austria, the west of the Danube, whereas Unterland is towards the east, Romania. I was born in Sopron going back to the Romans on the Austrian border. A synagogue from the forteenth century (1325) was discovered there through excavation.

    I am Hungarian, who left Hungary at the revolution sixty two years ago and being in America sixty years. My wife o.b.m. enjoyed silver and crystals. She said, I enjoy honoring my guests. I stick to our ashkenazic heritage (maarovis and yoitzros) not swaying an inch saying it on my own. She liked limoges so we got a curio cabinet to display them. She had a ceramic doll collection.

    The Torah Temimo’s view is that the rule of placing seforim on each other only applies to parchment. The holiness of printed seforim is all the same.

    We can extend the question above, someone can’t have children anymore and discovers that he married one of the forbidden relationships, does he have to divorce her?

    In CH’M 56 the Meharam Shik says clearly that the world was created in lashon hakodash and that is the only language in hebrew letters the matzeva should be written in.

    About writing any other language but hebrew letters on a matzeva, see the Mehram Shik YD 171 that the language denies after life. He called himself שיק to signify the beginning letters שם ישראל קודש. Adas Yereim (Wiener) in Beis Yisrtoel, Woodridge, NJ forbids anything but hebrew letters on the matzeva.

    Having seforim written in a language, doesn’t make it holy. Yiddish might be because it distiguishes us from the umaa haolam. It is famous the words of the Chasam Sofee, ויבא יעקב ‘שלם’ שם, לשון, מלבוש name, language and dress. כי פי המדבר עליכם -לשון ההקודש is holy on its own. No dirry words in it.

    It says in Parshas Bechukosai ונתתי משכני בתוככם I will rest my Mishkan among you ולא תגעל נפשי טתכם and My Spirit will not reject you. Why would it reject you? Maybe, there ia a Hungarian saying, the most pleasant guest is enough for three days. When peopke spend to much time with you, peeople ger tired with you. Hashem is promising us that when we spend much time with Him, He will never get tired and reject us.

    The chasidim don’t follow many of the psokim of Reb Moshe rather the Chasam Sofer for example cholov stam, mechitza and bima in the middle etc because he mainly wrote them for Lithuania were keeping Torah and mitzvas was more complicated. He did not want his Teshuvas translated into English.

    Halochoscope, look at Yechaveh Daas 5:1 from the Beer Moshe being an Ashkenaz not to cover the face. Atifas Yishmoelim should be done and therefore covering the face is a mistake.

    halochoscpe, there is also a mistake in the atifa where they cover their face but the Beer Moshe and the Yechaveh Daas say that the Yishmoelim don’t cover their face in order to see.

    The Chasan Sofer says that there is an implicatiion in the Torah of being mekayem the mitzva of tzitzis. It says
    ונתנו על ציצית הכנף it should have said ונתנו על הכנף ציצית but ‘al’ can have meaning because, that is in order to be mekayem the mitzva of tzitzis put corners on it.

    The Zohar, Rav Shimon bar Yochai says ישראל ואורייתא וקב’ה חד הוא can be understood seeing ourselves around a circle and Hashem is in the middle. All of us are equal distance from the center and part of the circle. Through the Torah we unite and become a smaller circle and eventually become one point which coincides with the center.
