If you look at pi as a continued fractions 111/106 is the first continued fraction 355/113 accurate to 6 decimal places is the next 3.1415929 where the correct value is 3.1415926..
See the Minchas Kohen מבןא השמש who paskens like the Rabbenu Tam. The Chasam Sofer O”CH 80 paskens like the Rabbenu Tam even lekula, so he questions why do we consider it a safek and pospone mila in the four mil? Could be according the Rambam has to be a vaday mitzva because a safek is only darabonon, but the Chasam Sofer held that it is a vaday mitzva.
The current philosophy of women would exclude King David from being a Jew. A maovis is allowed to join because it is improper to give water and sustenance among the men as women belong inside. The women don’t believe in this modesty so women would also not be allowed to join.
Reb Joseph, the two are not the same, see O”CH 428 when it comes to admonish on something specifically asur biblically like chazir compared to an eruv where most hold that currently their is no R”H biblically. So by eruv where a reliable rav says you can carry I think you can listen to him.
Joseph, who is Dr. Pepper?
akuperma, The achronim interpret the reasoning of rishonim in order that we can apply their view in other situations where their view is not revealed.
To explain in greater detail above post to calculate PI according the GRA:
קוה = 111 and קו = 106
111/106 is the adjustment to 3
( from the Yam of Solomon – Circumference/Diameter = 30/10 = 3)
that is multiply 3 by 111/106 = 3.141509Adam Harishon sinned by drinking wine, according to some view, so we say lechaim that it should bring us life for both worlds.
The Ohr Hachaim Hakadash says in the beginning of Bereishis 1-22 numbers under number 3, we are allowed to interpret pasukim where only pshat is involved but we cannot argue on Rishonim when halacha is involved, as the amoroim could argue on the tanoim in pasukim interpretation. ד”ה ודע שיש רשות
I went to Brooklyn College got a BS in Math and Computers, then went to NYU Courant Institute for Masters in Math have 12 credits towards it. I became a member of Pi MuEpsilon, the math honor society. I never became an actuary because of anxiety in test taking. I worked in computers. Your formula is incorrect, it is an adjustments to 3. Multiply 111 by 3 and divide by 106 = 3.141509
Yissacher, I see that the Neoda B’Yehuda speaks with the greatest respect about the Ramban and if he argues he would argue with the halacha, the RMA he mentions there.
The Chasan Sofer explains that the women also have a part in Chanukah Menorah, the yevonim wanted to eliminate Rosh Chodash to eliminate the Yomim Tovim. Women don’t work when the candles are burning, commemorating 8 biblical yomim tovim where light the candles. The Chasam Sofer explains that women don’t light because they originally lit outside and it was not proper for women to mix with men.
Gaon, please leman Hashem straighten these paticipants out, if you can argue on Rishonim. I referenced the Nodei Beyahuda who was upset for someone doing that. I recommend to look at his poetic words.
By the way, in the calculation of the tribe’s first letters multiplied by 1000 from the Rabbenu Bechaye above, Levi is excluded.
Avi, K – They are all estimation of 1 2/5 look at Tosfas in Sukkah 8a where they show that the calculation is not exact. Even according to the SQRT(2) is irrational an estimate with the Pythagorean Theorem that is mentioned above. For PI look at the mishna Eruvin 13b and Tosfas that the calculation is not exact according to Chachmei Hamidos and the Rambam on the mishneh. So if the result is not a perfect square, the Pythagorean Theorem does not buy anything so why mention it? By the way I happened to be a mathematician.
Look at the Rambam Hilchas Kidush Hachodash 17:24 but Tosfas was trying to avoid calculations discovered by the goyim like the Pythagorian Theorem.
The reason we cannot argue against the Rishonim if their is not a Rishon to back us up, because the closer we are to kabolas hatorah the more reliable they are, opposite the goyim were technology increases with time, so we are not on the level of the Rishonim to argue with them.
See the Nodei Bayehudah O”CH 1:38 where Rav Yechezkiel Landau z”l is besides himself where someone argues on the Rishonim.
The reference for the below is
http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1497&pgnum=45The R”SH, Rav Shimshom Mishantz, mentions on the mishneh Kilaim 5:5, in the middle in the name
of Chachmei Hamidos, the Pythagorian Theorem.You can argue with Rishonim if you have another rishon backing you up. There is a story of the Shagas Aryeh where he was killed when a seforim book case fell on him. Everyone forgave him except the Levush , The Shagas said אריה שאג מי לא ירא when the lion roars who does not fear him . Tje Levush said Mordechai Yoffe (מי) does not fear him.
The MB above refers to Tosfas Eruvin 6a ד”ה כיצד.
See MB O”CH 345 s”k 23 who asks the question and says that we only count what the Torah specifically enumerates. There is an interesting implication according to the Maharal who says that 600K is a complete number containinhg 6 like six directions in the shaking the lulav, 100 and 1000. The Rabbenu Bacheya explains that if you take the first letter of each tribe usung Yosef and multiply them by 1000 when you accumulate it, you will get 597,000, 600,00 less 3000 that were killed at the Aigel.
Staten Island Zoo
You can call her or visit her.
If it would have been under a tree and you move it, you would have a problem but it was kosher before I don’t see a problem. Anyway, ask your LOR.
Gaon, Yasher Koach for clarifying.
There is a big argument whether Ocean Parkway is a reshus horabim min hatorah, if cars are counted with people or it is a separate reshus, houses around, intersecting roads or traffic lights diminish the reshus for pelatyeh gedolyeh.
Gaon, Where do you find Reb Moshe shita that you count the 600,000 for the whole city and not for one street even if you figure a platyeh godalyeh there is no park in Brooklyn with that many people?
A discussion of an eruv consideration see Yabia Omer O”CH 9:33.
The question is clearly specified in SA O”CH 617-618 . The measurements when eating under certain conditions mentioned were discussed above.
The last statement above is misleading. If a person feels that he/she must eat after they are told it is yom kippur, comes before 100 doctors who say you don’t need to eat . They can eat as much as necessary without consulting any rav no measurements required because in a pikuach nefesh time is of essence as indicated in SA above 618.
Look at the photo essay of how to hold the chickens to be humane.

Joseph, the gemora in Baba Metzia says that Rebbi Yehuda Hanosi had stomach problems because he was harsh to a calf saying go to be slaughtered because that is why you were created.
ubiq, I 100% agree with you. Look at the Klei Yokor on ומוראכם וחתכם we can eat animals because we are greater than they are by learning Torah that is why an am haaretz is forbidden to eat meat, but it does not mean that we should be inhumane to them because at the same time the Torah forbids tzaar baal chaim.
The idea is that whatever is done to the fowl should be done to us which money does not shpw. We should be careful not do any tzar baal chaim to the kaparos by dangling its head down but cradle it.
1, Look up the Midrash Samuel on the Misnah איזהו דרך ישרה שיבור האדם who says that mitzvos among the fellow Jews comes before mitzvos between us and Hashem.
The shuttling back and forth is based on the pasuk כל עצמתי תאמרנה davening with our whole body, but we are still staying in the same place. I heard in the name of a Rebbe that it should not be down sideways because it indicates ‘no’.
Separating families is not moral according the Agudath Israel statement, denying and not feeling responsibility for 3000 dead in Puorto Rico for lack of help, has problem in telling the truth, and destroyed health care thereby responsible for the death of people having a lack of health care. The president as a leader has to do for the benefit of the governed more than an individual . He commited adultery multiple times.
They hate Trump because of his lack of human behavior, separating families, dismissing 3000 dead in Puorto Rico , calling people names, celebrating white nationalists, not carring about the poor’s ‘livelihood and their health care.
Look at SA O”CH 98:4 davenen should be like the korbonos, sacrifice which was done at a fixed place and not done all over the place.
Don’t taking it literally. He was saying that people who wear a small yarmulke have a small brain, they are not so smart, otherwise they would be wearing a larger one. Any way most of the head should be covered. רובו ככולו most is considered like the whole.
My mother filled granades in IG Farben being strong enough to work thereby sent to the right in Auschwitz.
I did not meet the Lebovitcher Rebbe personally, but I saw something interesting in his farbrengen.
When someone wanted to drink wine and make a lechaim, he would lift his cup such that the Rebbe would see it and after the Rebbe saw it, he would nod his head with an acknowledgement to drink.
When davening his daled amos was left empty.The way I understand it is that there are kitrugim, so you need to shoot many arrows or tefilos at the same place to shoot through and when you move around that is not happening.
1, King Solomon says אל תצדק הרבה don’t be too relgious because you put your emphasis on mitzvos that apply between you and G-d forgetting mitzvos between you and your fellow man and not caring about insulting someone.
I agree, but if the companies are out for themselves by not paying a living wage and their is no job training then the government has to help.
The Maasei Hashem explains that Avraham Avinu what shown the stars. Didn’t he see it himself? This is what Hashem told him. You will be lighting up the world like the stars by spreading Emunas Hashem around the world. If they keep the seven mitzvos , we should not exclude them but respect them. There is a question if shutaf is forbidden by a non-jew. Also, they follow their religion as a custom and not a belief.
About putting Rabomim on top of the list , the gemora in Nedorim says that the exile came שלא ברכו בתורה תחילה they did not make a brocho before learning. The Ran explains that the Torah had no chashivus in their eyes to make a blessing on it. The Chasam Sofer says there, baderech malitza, that when they praised someone they praised first his secular knowledge over his Torah knowledge. Borchu can also mean praising.
I once heard from Rav Shulman was asked how big a yarmulke you should have? He said it should cover your brain. The explanation is that we dress up the sefer Torah because you want to protect what is valuable.
