    mentsch1 – Your Republican principles are, don’t give charity because he will not try to find work and help himself, if he really needs it, let others do it. If you give charity, better be a big tax deduction. Just help yourself and don’t care about others.

    Joseph, sorry but I think you don’t know how to learn pshat in this mishna.
    Look at Rashi and the Rambam who say that it does not say that you must be poor to learn Torah, but if you are poor, you should also learn Torah. This is like the story with the Levushei Mordechai who was asked if a woman giving birth can anastisize herself because it says you will give birth in pain. He said that it says והיית משוגע does not mean that there is a mitzva to be a meshigener. Some also say that in his beginning of learning years, he should avoid any extra luxuries.

    Joseph, be realistic. Don’t compare those times with current times. It says
    הכהן אשר יהי’ בימים ההם the kohen who serves in that time. The Haflah says in sefer Panim Yafos that you cannot question from one time to another.

    It is the responsibility of the father to teach his son a profession, but the Rambam was a doctor who could set his own hours.

    The problem is that they are not all suited to sit and learn and they can’t find a well paying job because of their lack of education.

    Providing higher education, housing, skill training for jobs available, and health care for those who cannot afford it. Making sure that people can support themselves and make a living.

    Caring for workers underpaid, and caring for the poor not skilled in the jobs available, as in time of the gemora where people where supported from the tamche. Fighting against discrimination which protects the Jews from the same.

    There is a difference between מומר לתאבון an otd from desire and מומר להכעיס and an otd to anger. An otd to anger passes his non-beliefs to his children whereas an otd from desire will not. An otd from desire will repent when the age of desire is gone, whereas the otd to anger will never repent. I would say that otd to anger will be a מסית ומדיח, someone who makes others sin, and can be called Ym”s.

    Mentioned in the above biography is a story about a young man who was called to serve in the army. He went to Rav Yonasan zt”l who give him an incantation to say before he saw the doctor. When he said , the goats in the slaughter house are fatter than me (Tractate Megilla), he became a lepper, so the doctor through him out in order not to get infected. When he left and went out to the steet, it disappeared.

    I think the prayer we say don’t bring me to temptation and don’t bring me to shame. We can interpret this that if you bring me to temptation, you will bring me to shame.

    The Torah gives us in Parshas R’eh a means of how to diet. When a person wants to eat, he should eat at the time when he can control himself. Eat when you are hungry as long you are hungry. It says
    Devorim 12:20 ואמרת אכלה בשר explains the Chasam Sofer you should be able to say that you want to eat meat כי תתאוה נפשך לאכל בשר because when you desire to eat meat, בכל אוות נפשך תאכל בשר with all your desire you will eat meat, you will not be able to control yourself.

    No, in either way, people who care will ask, where is your hat or they don’t know and their won’t be an embarassment. As according to the Baer
    Hetev above you are not mechuyav to spend any money on a minyan but not gaining money might be different.

    I think the argument between Yaakov Avinu and the brothers is, if to satisfy the judgement requirement for kidnapping do you have to kill the whole city of Shechem or satisfy the requirement by some other means like making them slaves.

    It does not say in the above mentioned source that it is a chiyuv, It says that effort should be exerted. More important to daven in a shul and the time people are davening.

    There is a Baal Haturim on ויקץ יעקב משנתו ויאמר Yaakov Avinu woke up from his sleep and said, has the last letters צבור indicating that ones prayer is only listened to in unity. We need each others zachusim that our prayers be listened to. It says before אכן יש ה’ במקום הזה ואנכי לא ידעתי could be related to the above, Hashem exists in this place provided I put aside my egotism.

    Gaon, Yaakov Avinu held like the Samuel Hanovi that this is a שכיח הזיקא where being harmed is prevalent so the mitzva will not protect you.

    1 – I explained already that assuming that you have a good reason going to this place on vacation, so you are not doing anything wrong since you davened already with a minyan before you left. It is recommended that, if there is a shul, daven there and the time when people daven.

    Joseph, did you see the rephrasing of the question. There is nothing wrong
    in going to a vacation. You daven with a minyan before you leave.

    Gaon, I think the question that Yaakov Avinu had , do I have to put myself
    in a precarious situation in order to enforce the law that might get me killed and then have to rely on a miracle to get saved?

    I will rephrase your question. Are you allowed to do something currently (where you don’t do anything wrong) which will cause that later on you have to rely on a bedaved davening without a minyan?

    You can’t compare it to the case where the hot water spilled on shabbos because there is mitzva to do milah which causes the pikuach nefesh to heat water after. Here there is no mitzva to go on vacation.

    Gaon, look at the Chezkuni 34:25 ד”ה ויהרגו כל זכר it looks like they have a chiyuv to create a court to enforce the laws of kidnapping and if they don’t that it becomes our responsibility.
