Whatever you can do on Chol Hamoad you can do during Safiras HoOmer BH O’CH 493

Now we can understand why bread is higher spriritually from its ingedients because it will be consumed by a higher level.

You have four levels, דומם, צומח, חי, מדבר, inanimate, plant, living and speaking. Each higher level elevates the lower level. We make a brocho שעשה לי כל צרכי on shoes because when wearing it, we take advantage from all lower levels. When we eat, we elevate food to a higher level of kadusha.

Why don’t you look at his son Rechavom who listened to the young over the old? The young might have wisdom but not experience. He better have good advisors.

There is a midrash, where Hashem said to Yerohom ben Nevot, repant and I, you, and Dovid will walk together in Gan Eden, so he asked, who will lead? Dovid, he was told. In that case I don’t want. This is another sign of haughtiness.

We lead up to the crescendo or climax.

We finish shamonei esrei with peace הכל הולך אחר החתימה All is well that ends well.

coffee addict Rashi is ל’ג ,ב

Usually it is always first except if there is a reason to be last.

coffee addict, Yaakov wanted to protect them from Aisov for his great love for them.

There is a Midrash, when someone is haughty and feels he should come first, we tell him a bug was created before you. If he would be smart, he would understand that because of his chashivus the human being was created last in order that everything should be avaiable for him like a set up table.

coffee addict, doesn’t chashivus require kavod and therefore should come first?

The last is protected because it is beloved. ההדיוט קופץ בראש, the smart person hears the other’s view first and makes his view known last. The simple person wants to, because of haughtihess like Haman, be heard first.

RG, I heard that the censors removed that passage.

Wine also, יין ישמח לבב אנוש.

Don’r we see this by Korban Pesach כי אם צלי אש?

We will tell the story of Yetzias Mitzraim even more after redemption. A parable is told in the Migdal Eder haggada to explain this. A person had stomach problems. He could not digest his food well, but he did not fill badly because he was poor and only was able to afford what he was able to digest. A doctor cured him, but he did not fill any hakoras hatov since he desired now more food, but he could not afford it. When he became reach, then he realized the benefit of what the doctor did for him. Similarly, in galus we don’t appreciate fully Yetzias Mitzraim, but after the redemption we will fully appreciate it.

There was a bet between the sun and the wind who can take off the coat of an individual. We can look at the coat as being religious, not mixing with those who influence us against Torah’s teachings, The yetzer horah, bad inclination, can have different effects on different people. For some he is like the wind, the more he pushes the individual to do bad, he strengthens himself to overcome the yetzer horah’s influence and keep his coat on, whereas for most of us, he behaves like the sun taking his coat off and giving up his religion. Since we don’t know what the effect will be, we must watch ourselves from groups that influence us against the Torah’s teachings.

דירה בתחתונים is only a means to the end of gaining Olam Haboh.

That would be like a typewriter as described by you.

I talk about a software that is used on a computer.

See Beer Moshe 7,39 and 93 writing on a disk is automatic. On Chal Moad a pesik reshe is not assur and the writing is a code. Writing on a monitor display has no permanence.

Joseph, proof? Chal Hamoad a tircha or exertion is assur and must have permanence. Writing on a computer
display has no permanence. Printing by entering a command involves no tircha and is not a direct malocho happening automatically, whereas typing on a typewriter has permanence and there is tircha involved.

We call the last day of succas Hoshanah Rabba so there is no need to call it acharon shel sukkas.
