The Rambam might have a proof from Moshiach ben Josef where after he was killed he was not Moshiach any more.
The sefer Aim Habonim Samecha from Rav Yisochor Teichtal Hy”d says that on top of the Beis Hamikdash we build will come the one with fire.
Does the Rebbe hold like the Yerushalmi Maaser Sheni (5,2) that the building of the Beis Hamikdash will be before the coming of Meshiach?
There is a girsah there שלא ירחקו את הקץ not to do anything to further away, delay the redemption.
Rso, what I said is no stira to the Chasam Sofer where there are 13 emunos enumerated in yigdal according to
the Rambam, and no one is more important than the other. We don’t do anything to bring it שלא ידחקו את הקץ don’t push it, but at the same time do not do anything to hold it back like sinas chinom.SL. you covered with your last statement my statement. When we do Hashem’s will, we will not hold back the coming of Moshiach. His will is to love your fellow Jew like yourself since we all have the same holy neshama, and thereby correct sinas chinom which curtails his coming.
DY, example please.
SL, it is not our job to bring Moshiach but it is our job not to curtail, hold back, his coming by our actions and behavior.
The Rambam mentioned above Hilchas Teshuva 8,2 says ועושה האמת מפני שהוא אמת he doesn’t do mitzvos for rewards but he does it because it is the right thing to do.
The Midrash Shmuel on Pirkei Avos says that the reward of doing a mitzva is not doing another mitzva but the fact that we have the opportunity to do the mitzva itself.
If my post was unc;lear, I think that vaccines do exactliy this. We inject some bacteria to wake up the anti-bodies and fight the desease when it arrives.
Eli Y,you can google Sefer Hachinuch Translated and downloaded in a PDF. You have to create a userid and password before.
ElI Y, I just notice an english publication by Feldheim, The Concise Sefer Hachinuch.
Immunotheraphy is not a prevention, but vaccines are. It streghtens the anti bodies before illnes to kill disease.
Immunotheraphy is a means of using ones immune system to kill his cancer cells.
A way of uniting people is learning Torah for its own sake by striving to arrive at the truth as Shimon Hamosini
was willing to give up his whole life’s work when he believed that the darshening of esin was not correct. He believed that respecting the chazal was obvious since their strength emenates from Hashem but for Reb
Akiva, who was an am haaretz, that was a chidush.I think the Shlah Hakadosh says in his Shaar Osiyos that we should see reward and punishment as a measuring stick of the ratzon Hashem.
CS, jan 6 is the true nitel because of the calendar change as discussed in another thread.
Samthenylic, wouldn’t that be a contradiction of reward and punishment which would indicate that the ratzon Hashem is to do aveiros and not to do mitzvos?
If we we want to bring Moshiach, we must have ahavas chinom, loving someone selflessly, to correct sinas chinom hating someone for a non excusable reason such as jealousy as explained by the Yad Yosef on the EIn Yaaov, Yoma 9. If you have an excusable reason, you will be able to make peace by telling him what he did to you.
Chossid, to answer your question, look at the Rambam Hilchas Lulav 8,15 and the Magid Mishneh there ויעשה הטוב מצד שהוא טוב do the good for its own sake. See the Rambam Hilchas Teshuva 10th Perek. Pirkei Avos שכר מצוה מצוה the mitzva itself is its own rewards.
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.
