I forgot to define a degash chazak. It is like having duplicate letters in which the degash resides one with a shvo noch and the other with vowel on the letter.
Thank you midwestener for pointing that out. When we say it fast, we can make the mistake and not pronounce שבראנו correctly.
As I was educated in this, I will give a little lesson for those who were not.
There are open and closed syllables. An over syllable can be extented forever, whereas a closed syllable can not. A closed syllable is either closed by shvo noch silent or a degash chazak which comes at the end of the syllable. There is also a dagesh kal in the beginning of a syllable in letters בגד כפת which after letters אהוי is omitted. There two kind of vowels, nekudos tenuah gedolos which have open syllables according the Magen Avraham O’CH 61 the siman is פתוחי חותם, a chirik followed by a yud, malipum a vov with a dot in the middle, tzere, cholem a vov with a dot on top and kometz. The rest are tenuah ketanos which have closed syllables. A shvo no follows a tenuah gedolah and a shvo noch a tenuah ketano. A letter having a degash chazak with a shvo, will be a shvo no. If above rules are violated the stress will be on it.To explain more, the gehinam is being cooled off because he does things against his nature, so Hashem also does things against its nature.
The sea split against its nature because Yosef escaped the wife of Potifar against his nature.Zion Gate, The Republicans believe in sink or swim. People don’t like a hand-out nehama deksufa but they when they lose their job and they need a helpful push like job training which is economically profitable like the CETA program eliminated by President Reagon. True, I will give him credit for creating the reverse mortgage program which I have. I worked very hard all my life. In my time in public colleges, you paid for the first 18 credits after which you became matriculated and there was no more tuition now there are stuck with college tuition debt when starting their young life.
See the SA O”CH 61 and 62:1
It says המדקדק ק”ש באותיותה מצננין לו את הגהנם whoever watches out to pronounce krias shema properly, the gehanim will be cooled off for him.
Explains the Beis Yosef that he does things out of the ordinary, so Hashem also does things out of the ordinary as the gehinam is usually hot.knaidlach, Thank you for pointing that out. The dagesh in the dalet changes the meaning from looks like to being still. The extra yud changes the meaning from seeing to fearing.
Rav Moshe zt’l says that raising children is half perspiration and half inspiration. You put your effort into it and then pray that it should bear fruits.
Take3tomakmangos, Rabbenu Bechaye says that in סורו נא אדני by lot, nai is the plural which for ashkenazim’s pronounciation is incorrect. Yes the correct pronounciation is eLOah.
The shem above א-לוה should be pronounced as ah and not ha at the end as the word גבוה.
The shem א-לוה should be pronounced on the לו not at the end.
A chatof is a shvo that is hard to pronounce under letters ה, ח, א, ע. Therefore the stress is never under a chatof. The shem Hashem should be pronounced as most words and as required by dikduk at the end as indicated in the Nodah Beyehudah.
bal gevuros and baal gevuros – where bal means the opposite no strength
We are indebted to Hashem for all the good that He does to us and instead of doing good we repay Him with bad.
GH, If I were you, I would not make fun of it. There is an implication in Pirkei Avos 2:17 ובעל הבית דוחק refers to Hashem, the collector, who forces one to pay.
CS, To understand the Baal Hatanya in 27 mentioned above, look at the Sefer Habris by Rabbi Pinchas Eliyahu written in around 1800 who explains that the once yetzer horah’s power is exhausted. in order for tzadikim to advance a new level of neshomo is given to them. There is a total of 25 levels which can be acquired 5 levels within 5 levels.
נפש, רוח, נשמה, חיה and יחידה such as נפש שבנפש to יחידה שביחידה.See the Klei Yokor in Parshas Devorim on פנו לכם צפונה be hidden in chutz laaretz and not show off infront of the goyim. Let us not forget that we are strangers in a strange place and act accordingly. Remember that we create jealousy and hatred among them creating anti- semitism.
CS, It says איזהו גבור הכובש את יצרו you don’t kill the yetzer horah because you lose your purpose to live. You live to improve yourself which requires resistance.
RabbiSteve, How do the Republicans follow the way of the Torah when they don’t care to support the poor? If there is no tax deduction, they would not give charity?
I would not vote for Trump if he was the only person running. I can’t stand
his selfishness, his narcisistic personal disorder.The Chasam Sofer gives us a strategy to improve oneself. There is always a conflict between the body and soul. We want to make peace between them as it says בקש שלום through ורדפהו meaning to create a small conflict. Let the soul do something small that the body does not like and allow the body to get used to it and then continue the cycle.
The Dubner Magid says that sins are like a debt that can be paid up as you incur it, daily every night or weely at the end of the week or erev Rosh Chodesh being meharher btshuva or once a year on Yom Kippur which makes it harder to pay it up.
The way bring Moshiach is to follow כל ימי חייך להביא לימות המשיח we should be able to bring all our life accomplishments towards the days of Moshiach and not be ashamed with any of our deeds.
Chanoch was taken away from this world because he did not want to mix with people. Hashem does not need malochim in this world. We need a yetzer horah who encourages us to do bad but we refuse it and do good.
It says שחורה אני ונאוה I can be black by doing bad but if I am able to avoid it, I become beautiful. A tzadik is one who has a yetzer horah but it is able to avoid following him.The minhag for erev Rosh Chodesh, MB 417 s”k 4, is for some to fast and to say Yom Kippur Katan found in the siddurim, being a time of repentence asking for forgiveness for the month.
We have a hungarian saying, don’t throw out the dirty water until you have clean. There was an honorable person, John McCain, who saved the Affordable Care Act.
מנהג ישראל תורה היא check the ר’ת what the first letters add up to. Also, the famous Chasam Sofer who says that גהנם is מנהג in reverse.
הלכה ידוע בישראל עשו שונא ליעקב
To show you a strange minhag where I came from a town on the
Hungarian and Austrian border called Sopron, where the town dates back to the Romans. They would bring on Simchas Torah to the baal tefila for halel in place of lulav and esrog a potato and a corn stalk. I saw this with my own eyes.I can defend his minhag. Maybe he wants to show with physical action that he is not saying tachnun erev rosh chodash by making like saying it but not saying it. See the RMA 690:17 about making noise by Haman, not to mock any minhogim because they were not for nothing established.
Mammele, google the expression, ‘people kept in a bubble’ not getting out of their comfort zone which also means religious comfort zone. See the post of ‘the little I know’.
Joseph, usually we protect the girls more than the boys and I heard instances about girls.
Bubble means sheltered within their own kind that is not going outside of their environment. Going to college is not bubble, once in a while going to a doctor’s appointment is not bubble,
There is a problem with sheltering girls. When they go outside the bubble, they will be affected more and can go OTD.
RebYidd23, Who is the subject, the one voting, whereas whom is the object, the one being voted for. Who is the active participant, whereas whom is the passive paticipant. It is easier to say whom than to restructure the sentence.
Older ashkenaz Artscroll siddurim have for Rosh Chodash bentching finishes with שימלאו משאלות לבנו whereas the new ones have ‘שימלא ה the first is problematic giving the impression that the fullfilment is automatic.
coffee addict, The economy is doing so great shouldering the great deficits
for the tax cuts.I am retired and afraid that the deficit created will require to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
coffee addict, why don’t they run on tax cuts?
The Rav Abarbanel says that Moshiach stands for מנחם, שלה, ינון, חנינה stated in the gemora perek cheleck.
1, I don’t know what world you live in. The opposite is true. People who got tax cuts did not need it and those who needed it the most did not get it.
If the tax cuts are so good, why don’t the Republicans run on it? It created great deficits that we are living with.
Children learn and it encourages them to behave roughly to others. Timeout is a better idea. At a later age praise them for the positive they do.
Joseph, next time check the time of the post before you complain about repetition, besides I heard it from the Aguda’s Public Affairs Director.
They are not allowed to show sides by law.
In our family we always had two dish racks and two dish towels,
Joseph, If there is a choice between the two, ben odom lachavero comes first, see the Midrash Shmuel on איזהו דרך ישרה שיבור לו האדם because it is also a ben odom lamokam.
I heard about sheltering it says כי חיזק בריחי שעריך ברך בניך בקרבך if you streghten the bars on your gates or locks on your doors, your children will be blessed among you, specially having cars around.
1, See Yabia Omer 7, YD 17 whether to sit and learn or go to work.
