I can only say, ‘Rome is burning and Nero is fideling’.
Didn”t Tump say that both sides were equally bad at the white nationalits march?
Trump is not a racist,, but he condones them so they think he is part of them.
SH, Could be according to the Tanya this is the meaning of ועשו לי מקדש ושכנתי בתוכם – בתוך כל אחד ואחד Hashem resides in each one of us.
He forgets when it comes to Syria the saying, nature abhors a vaccum.
The gemora forbids us from counting the days towards Moshiach. They give a parable to a father who takes along his son and a guest to go to the market to Leibzig. The son asks right away his father, when are we arriving? The father gets upset at him and scolds him telling him, why are asking me this when we just got on the wagon. After travelling two hours the guest asks the same question and the father answers him another hour. The son gets upset why did you scream at me and you are answering him? Says the father to his son because your question was not appropriate yet. Similarly in the beginning, counting was not appropriate but now at the akavteh demishicha it is.
Midwestener, as I said before, once you ate a kezayis on the first day you were mekayim the mitzvah, so the gezareh shaveh does not apply any more and the halochas of teshvu kaen toduru and metzaer apply and you are exempt to sleep in the cold. See SA O’CH 639,3.
Even the first day once he ate a kezayis he doesn’t have to sleep in the sukkah once he is metzaar because it is cold.
If Moshiach was suppose to be born on Tisha Beov, the Rebbe was not born then.
Eli Y, look at 501 Hebrew Verbs by Barons
CS, That is what we say in the Hagadah חשב את הקץ if you remove 190, ketz from 400 you get 210, רדו the difference between יצחק and ישחק.
Look at Seder Hadoros until 1696 תנ’ו
CS, If Jews would have stayed the full 400 years, there would have been no other galus. The Chasam Sofer explains that Pesach was the cause for Tisha Beov that is why we eat eggs at the seder which falls on the same day as א’ת the first day of Pesach falls as Tisha Beov. It is like being hit by pebbles or a rock, many smaller galuses or a big one.
CS, see what I wrote on the topic Interptetation of the Parshe of the Week.
Chosid, by the Beis Din we say אין לבית דין אלא מה שעיניו רואות which explains your Rambam by edim zamimim.
CS, The Klei Yokor says that Yaakov Avinu could not reveal the time of redemption because if people know that it will not be in their time, they stop hoping, be meyaesh, give up and forget that they are in galus and will not do anything to bring it and thereby they are postponing it more.
Joseph, Why can’t you have your cake and eat it? Limudei kodesh and math.
Joseph, I don’t consider Math chol. The GRA wrote the sefer Ayil Meshulosh because he recognized that Math is necessary to understand many misnayis and gemoras. The Rash Kilaim 5,5 under חכמי המדות אמרו quotes the Pythagorean Theorem.
Why is Mesaches Shekolim, the only masechta from Yerushalmi, included in the Daf Hayomi? I think because it reminds us of the geulah. The Kaftor Voferach brings from Rav Chaim Miparis that he wanted to sacrifice a Korban Pesach in the beginning of the 6th hebrew millenium. The Chasam Sofer and Rav Akiva Eiger discuss in great detail how to overcome all the difficulties, but why wasn’t he makriv a Korban Tamid? They answer is that it needs shiklei tzibur which is currently not available only when the Beis Hamikdash will be built.
The Yerushalmi is straight forward without many arguments maybe that is why it is called halacha instead of mishnah. We rely more on actions as אוירא דארץ ישראל מחכים.
See the Rif at the end of Eruvin before the mishnah.
Yeshivas should have their own secular education so they can control what to teach, otherwise you are right the government will force us to attend public schools.
CS, I am answering the meaning of the Zohar. The Torah encourages us to unite ואהבת לרעך כמוך the Tanya says that he is like you by having the same holy neshama, and be one which makes us one with Hashem as demonstrated above. It says מי כעמך ישראל כוי אחד this is the same one as it says כי חלק ה’ עמו Hashem is part of his nation.
coffee addict, we have to satisfy both since Aisov has to fall in the hand of Yosef but Moshiach comes from Dovid. We have to build the Beis Hamikdash together with Moshiach on which will come the one from fire.
Avi K, This MB would answer the Tosfas Yom Tov’s kashye about laining on shabbos and not worrying about carrying the Sefer Torah. People go to it and not that it goes to the people.
I believe in demand side economics by putting more money in the pocket of people, consumption increases and thereby investment increases. Supply side economics is voo-doo economics where there is no incentive to invest. This type of economics advocated by Democrats is closer to the Torah than the sink and swim type advocated by Republicans. Avi K, raising minimum wage gradually will not create unemployment.
Eli Y,, The mitzva is being in the sukkah, קיום המצוה and not tthe going into the sukkoh, מעשה המצוה so the consciousness in sleeping doesn’t matter.
coffee addict, your reason for Eli Y, I don’t think is correct because RMA above needs an exemption to clear someone from the mitzva of sleeping in the sukkah, indicating that normally if the exemption does not apply there is a mitzva, but his reasoning eliminates the mitzva altogether.
Eli Y, I think what DY is saying is that an exemption applies under some circumstances and does not apply under other circumstances, but over here this mitzva has no possibility because it always applies since it is not possible to be conscious and sleep so the mitzva will never occur.
Eli Y, I just quoted the RMA in SA O’CH 639,2
Yeshivishrockstar, לעולם יהי’ אדם first be respectful! My post is based on Rso reply # 1641933 about Moshe Rabbenu.
Eli Y, We don’t sleep in the sukkah because of weather conditions being mezaar or not being with the wife.
The Aroch Chaim in Parshas Tetzaveh says in the beginning on taking pure olive oil that the last redemption will come with the strength of Moshe Rabbenu. It could be that is why his name is not mentioned in the Parsha because it is a hidden strength. The Yaaros Devash explains the gemorah ולא ידע כי בז’ אדר מת משה ובז’ אדר נולד משה the fact that he died on zayin ador he knew but he explaines that after he died he is reborn spiritually when the
redemption comes. The Tana Debai Eliyahu says that this strength comes when we are mechadesh something.I brought up memory to explain the difference between young and old age why גירסא דינקותא is so important.
YeshivishRockStar, what do you do with הים אם בקלו תשמעו? The Ramban predicted the coming of Moshiach in the beginning of Bereishis. The Chasam Sofer says that we were not wothy of it.
CS, did you see what I wrote in reply #1641477
I took chemistry in Chasan Sofer and asked the teacher, what is the use for this? He said to me, you are able to see the greatness of G-d. He created a small solar system in every atom. According to string theory, He imparted his energy into every atom.
We pasken motzei shabbos like the Rabbenu Taam but Alter Rebbe retracted from the SA Harav to the siddur paskening like the GRA.
As I mentioned many times that extremes are not good. If the yeshivas avoid secular education altogether, then the government will require extreme measures in secular education like six hours. They don’t want the students after they grow up to rely on welfare because they can’t find a job to support themselves sufficiently.
Joseph, the story with the Netziv closing the yeshiva was because the russian government wanted to influence the curriculum of secular education. I agrree wth Yserbius123.
Joseph, I went to Chasidishe Yeshivas, Adas Yereim Wiener for elementary school and Chasan Sofer, HS, with proper english classes graduating with an academic degree with all the regents. I went to Brooklyn College majoring in Math and in Computers graduating with a BS degree. Afterwards, went to NYU Courant Institute in Mathematics for 12 credits.
coffee addict, thanks for straightening me out, but Rebbi placed it Pirkei Avos to teach us a good lesson to learn at a young age Shabbos 21a גירסא דינקותא, when a person has a good memory, he writes on a new paper rather than at an old age when he writes on an erased paper as the memory goes.
‘אלישע בן אבוי in Pirkei Avos speaks about his own concerns. He must have learned Torah at the later years when there is a danger to forget because the memory weakens with age as writing on an erased paper compared to the early years when you write on a new paper.
Of course you are allowed to argue on your rebbi provided that you have the proper proof and the proper respect. Tosfas argued on Rashi.
The seven lights of the menorah were against seven chochmas were the Torah was in the middle all facing the center because all other chochmas require the Torah knowledge e.g. the Rambam says in, shemona perokim, that illnes c’v comes from the body getting out of equilibrium. Freud’s Super Igo, Igo and Id comes from the Torah.
Didn’t the Lubavitcher Rebbe graduate from the Sorbone?
CS, ישראל ואורייתא וקב’ה חד הוא what does this mean? It says והוא באחד ומי ישיבנה it should have said אחד says the Shlah Hakadosh that we must unite and be one with Hashem like we say שמע ישראל ה’ אלקינו ה’ אחד the meaning of shema is to unite like it says וישמע שאול את העם meanig he united them. This can be demonstrated to the Jews are all around a circle and Hashem is the middle and our purpose in life is to make the circle smaller through Torah/the Rebbe’s teachings and unite into one point with the center. Everyone originally is equal distant from the center.
‘וידבר משה את מועדי ה the Chasan Sofer interprets it the Rov/Rebbe together with the stregth of holidays of Hashem give us influence for the whole year’s behavior.
