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.
Cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is the wrong direction.
There is an argument what עם means. Which one is the ikar and which one is the tofal, Torah or derech eretz, work.
You are uninformed, so I will inform you. They have 7 mitzvos to keep having a bechira on these. Many say that currently they don’t worship avoda zara because they follow the customs inherited from their ancestors. The Rambam says that the pious from them gain the next world to come.
In effect you are paying the Republicans for nothing and wiiling to waste the money of the tax payers.
The government does not consider a child a property to sell. You yourself are forbidden to commit suicide according the Torah. Slavery and human traficking is forbidden and we say on this דיני דמלכותא דיני.
Derech Eretz kodmoh Latorah is the Fifth Volume of Shulchan Aruch, proper behavior. Yaffe talmud torah im derech eretz, even though it can be the same to act properly to others when learning not call them any deragotory names, the meforshim say it is work.
Health, you are emphasizing muslem giving the inpression that they are all responsible. How would you like it if things were reversed and they would call it Jewish Terrorism?
Your appeasing Trump like Neville Chamberlin did the Nazis.
Health, Obama did not want to accuse all islamic people who did not commit terrorism, as I mentioned above, that creates more terrorism.
CS, The Chasan Sofer explains that the pasuk on the Haggadah בעבור זה is applied both for the the child who can’t ask and the rasha child. Be careful when the child can’t ask and raise him properly, so that he should not become a rasha.
Health, if you accuse someone falsely of terrorism, they might as well be terrorist. If you accuse muslems falsely of terrorism, they don’t lose anything by being terrorists.
This is an argument in the gemara whether it is better to go on a street of zonos and avoid them or not to go because it is hard to avoid them. If you bring be to temptation chances are that it will turn into shame.
Health, also not all islamic are terrorists and there are other terrorists.
Health, Obama is a diplomat who does not want to create more terrorism,
besides two wrongs don’t make a right.Avi K, Lesser taxes means more for the rich, less for the middle class and poor.
Health, being so pro-jewish, why does he not called out the white nationalist thereby contributing to all the murder?
The Klei Yokor in the beginning of Parshas Vaychi also explains that this was the reason why Yaakov Avinu could not reveal the comming of Moshiach. If people know he will not come in their time, they will be meyaesh and give up building fancy houses and thereby extending the time for his arrival.
Joseph, by the president not speaking up against white nationalist he is enabling them by giving them strength and a platform so they should falsely be thinking that he is advocating their beliefs.
TheFakeMaven, do you know pshat or are you just questioning me?
Joseph, what you are saying is based on the pasuk כימי צאתנו ממצרים אראנו נפלאות like your leaving of mitzraim I will show you wonders.
The buiding of fancy houses also holds back the comming of Moshiach by forgetting that we are strangers in a strange land.
CTLAWYER, This is a Klei Yokor on פנו לכם צפונה in Parshas Devorim, saying that in galus we should be hidden from the goyim not to make them jealous by building fancy houses.
