Reb Eliezer

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.

A discussion of an eruv consideration see Yabia Omer O”CH 9:33.

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.

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.

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.

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’.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joseph, your party does not care about the poor, sick, workers and uneducated.

I don’t know what he says, but I can explain what is wrong with it. The reason we need a makom kavia by davening according to the Ari z”l is because davening is compared to the shooting of an arrow, When you shoot an arrow from multiple places, you cannot shoot through.

1, Protecting the borders is our values even it separates families?

There is a logic to be happy for slichos for appreciating that Hashem because of his mercy gives us an opportunity once a year to ask for His forgiveness. Rosh Hashana is a day we designate such that the satan does not know when it is to be mekadreg and Hashem the King sits on His throne when we tell him so.

Sholom Schnitzler,from London zt’l , Simon Wisenthal in LInz, Austria. He was a stamp collector. The Mattersdorfer Rav zt’l father and son were my rebbies. The Viener Rav (Hadhauser) was my rebbi. Learned together with Menachem Fischer Viener Dayan Shlita, Dovid Yitzchok Schik Shlita,
Binyomin Gruber Rav Hamachshir for Hisachdus Harabonim Shlita, Rav Noach Isik Oehlbaum Shlita.

Whether to say selichos or not is an argument by Reb Moshe O”CH 2:95 and Rav Ovadyah Yosef Yechaveh Daas 1:46 and Shareh Tshuva in the beginning SA O”CH 581 about saying selichos, the thirteen midos, before chatzos. According to kabalah it hurts by starting up with midas hadin considered קוצץ בנטיעות..

They need linear translation selichas and kinnos to understand what they are saying so it should be appreciated.

Isn’t this thread about selichos, I am confused why are we talking about kinnos?

Both the Ashkanazim and Sefardim have pasukim who to folllow. The Ashkanazim according to the Chasam Sofer ובני ישראל יוצאים ביד רמה and the sefardim according to Harav Ovadyah Yosef Yechaveh Daas 5 לכו אל יוסף כל אשר יאמר לך תעשו.

Look up the introduction in the Rabbi Abraham Rosenfeld slichos that these designations indicate the poetic structure not tune, duplications according aleph beis, reverse aleph beis, rhyming and introduction, pesicha e,g. pizman refrain and repetition of the last stanza, sheniyoh, a two lined strophes, shlishiyoh, three lined strophes and shalmiyus, four line strophes.

The Magen Avraham 25 paskens that halacha supersedes kabalah e.g. when it comes to put tefillin on the hand sitting down or standing as our gemora indicates that mitzvas should be done standing as the implication of bekomo, bekama which is an accepted rule by the ashkanazim and certainly the brocho should be said standing. So, the paskim rule that we should not daven to malochim see Maharam Shik 293.
