Reb EliezerParticipant
I think white is a sign purity like it says אם יהי’ חטאיכם כשנים כשלג ילבינו if your sin will be seen red, I will make them white.
August 1, 2018 3:25 pm at 3:25 pm in reply to: Different Circles Of Yidden Can Experience Great Unity – Achdus #1568054Reb EliezerParticipantWhat was the meeting about?
July 30, 2018 7:14 pm at 7:14 pm in reply to: If you vote Democrat you should just move to Mexico #1567129Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, I don’t know what you are saying. Democrats did not deport criminals or they did not deport criminals with their children but deported them without them?
July 30, 2018 3:33 pm at 3:33 pm in reply to: If you vote Democrat you should just move to Mexico #1566983Reb EliezerParticipantCriminals are returned with the children.
July 30, 2018 12:04 pm at 12:04 pm in reply to: If you vote Democrat you should just move to Mexico #1566956Reb EliezerParticipantDemocrats don’t separate families. They only keep out the criminals.
July 30, 2018 11:11 am at 11:11 am in reply to: The Badeken — The origins and meaning behind the Minhag #1566936Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t understand the Taamei Haminhogim so I will speculate. It says in Rus 3:9 ופרשת כנפך על אמתך and you should cover your maiden with a talis.
This is was a sign of marriage since married women covered their hair. In
Frankfurt, they cover the groom and bride together in a talis. There is a connection for this in the Torah where the making of ztitzis is followed by the pasuk of marriage.Reb EliezerParticipantWe had before President Reagan the SETA program for job training which was eliminated by him. I was educated in computer programming through this means. This was very economical because people gained skills making them more valuable and thereby where able to pay it back in taxes. He only looked at instant gratification. We should bring this kind of program back.
Reb EliezerParticipantMeno – A rich person with his consumption does not create a multiplying effect. He buys a yacht or saves it. A poor person spends the money where his consumption generates more investment requiring hiring workers and thereby the multiplying effect takes hold.
Economy = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending
Reb EliezerParticipantLet us remember the important lesson from this holiday. The girls would go out to greet the boys in borrowed white clothing. Even those who posessed their own, borrowed in order not to ashame those who did not have.
Let us keep in mind that we must go out our way not to embaress another person. It says ואהבת לרעך כמוך, love your fellow human being just like yourself. They also have a heilige neshama just like you being just as good as you are.Reb EliezerParticipantsimcha613 – Our chazal sometimes said towards the non-orthodox הבדלו that we should separate ourselves in order not to be influenced by them. There is not sinas chinom because we show openly our disapproval of their views. Sinas chinom is when we keep our hatred bottled up in our heart and act towards them as friends.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt’s more than a beis avel since we are all aveilim. Some say tiskabel in a beis avel but not on tisha b’ov.
Reb EliezerParticipantRebYidd23 – You seem to know everything, so what is your solution?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe city of Seattle, Washington has a $14.00 minimum wage now. It will increase to $15.00 next January.
Reb EliezerParticipantHungarian Proverb: Whoever has butter on his head should not go under the sun. Whoever is guilty should avoid being caught.
Reb EliezerParticipantMinimum wage does make economic sense. If people have more money, demand increases and they can pay higher prices. This is a chicken and egg question, will they be willing to invest and pay higher wages to generate demand and charge higher prices?
Reb EliezerParticipantWe consider מאביד עצמו לדעת suicide as lack of emunah and is burried separately. I think it means what generally can be tolerated.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere was a question to the Debretziner Rav, Rav Moshe Stern ztzl are you allowed to take the newspaper The Forverts written with hebrew letters in yiddish to the bathroom? He answered the question is are you allowed to remove it?
July 25, 2018 11:18 pm at 11:18 pm in reply to: Can One Ride in a Self-Driving Car on Shabbos #1565207Reb EliezerParticipantDr. E – Can you were on Shabbos an electric massager suit?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe chitzoniyos reflects the penimoyus which reflects the yeshiva.
July 25, 2018 3:47 pm at 3:47 pm in reply to: Can One Ride in a Self-Driving Car on Shabbos #1564527Reb EliezerParticipantI mentioned the Chasam Sofer before that riding in a car violates the mitzva of shabosan as riding in a steam boat.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe halacha is that matzoh that is biblical we consider the Tzlach’s view and eat on the first day of Pesach two kezaisim.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere are two measurements, eggs or fingers.
Finger measurement turned out to be greater than the egg measurement.Tzlach in Pesochim 115 says the eggs diminished in size.
His talmid Rabbi Elozor Flekles says his Rebbe had big fingers.Rabbi Chaim Noeh must accept the talmid’s view.
Reb EliezerParticipantSomeone once complained to Hashem that he never wins the lottery, so He said to him, did you ever buy a lottery ticket?
July 25, 2018 12:40 pm at 12:40 pm in reply to: The failures of lottery winners don’t mean that winning the lottery is bad. #1564335Reb EliezerParticipantSomeone once complained to Hashem that he never wins the lottery, so He said to him, did you ever buy a lottery ticket?
Reb EliezerParticipantMoshe Rabbeinu asked to enter Eretz Yisroel even though their was an oath on it to show how sweet and desirous he considers Eretz Yisroel to be able to do mitzvos.
Reb EliezerParticipantפנו לכם צפונה teaches the Klei Yakar that in galus we should act hiddenly among the umas haalom not to build fancy houses and anger them through their jelousy. Also not to forget that we are galus and forget that we are strangers in a strange land.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy post 1537179 about Jehoshia comes from the sefer Peninim Yekorim in Parshas Shelach on the pasuk.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe gedolim attribute the holocaust to Tisha B’av. If we were not exiled from our land, there would not have been a holocaust.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe reason we need hishtadlus is that the barocho of parnosoh can not apply to nothing.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is known the famous Rambam in Hilchas Talmud Torah 3:10 כל המשים על עצמו about sitting and learning and relying on support.
Reb EliezerParticipantChadGadya, I did not say don’t eat meat. I said don’t eat beef which is hard to digest.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt depends what you eat. It is more important to watch what you eat before and after to minimize the symptoms.
Reb EliezerParticipantDon’t eat any beef not before or after a fast. Don’t eat any fish before which will make you thirsty. For Tisha B’av we make a layered with eggs potato dish.
July 24, 2018 4:47 pm at 4:47 pm in reply to: Does the name “Lashon haKodesh” imply that it is the only holy language? #1563909Reb EliezerParticipantThe number 2658 is not the significance but the fact they both add up to the same gematria which reveals to you how to calculate the molad. What are the chances of that? It is a hint that our calculation is correct.
July 24, 2018 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm in reply to: Does the name “Lashon haKodesh” imply that it is the only holy language? #1563896Reb EliezerParticipantThank you apushata yid, which you are not, for pointing out the Ramban Shmos 30:13 quoting the Rambam which I heard about but never saw inside.
July 24, 2018 3:35 pm at 3:35 pm in reply to: Does the name “Lashon haKodesh” imply that it is the only holy language? #1563883Reb EliezerParticipantAbout mixing aramaic with lashon hakodesh see Rabbenu Bechaya in
Devorim 33:25 דבאך.July 24, 2018 3:35 pm at 3:35 pm in reply to: Does the name “Lashon haKodesh” imply that it is the only holy language? #1563886Reb EliezerParticipantLook at Yosef when he said כי פי המדבר אליכם in lashon hakodesh where even Pharaoh could not speak.
July 24, 2018 2:47 pm at 2:47 pm in reply to: Does the name “Lashon haKodesh” imply that it is the only holy language? #1563806Reb EliezerParticipantI will demontrate why it is called lashon hakodesh take
החדש הזה לכם ראש חדשים ראשון הוא לכם לחדשי השנה adds up to 2658 just as
כמה תשעה ועשרים ומחצה יום ותשצג חלקים indicating the time of the molad (from one lunar renewal to the next)
how many 29 1/2 days and 793 chalokim where chelek = 1/1080th of an hour.July 24, 2018 1:33 pm at 1:33 pm in reply to: Does the name “Lashon haKodesh” imply that it is the only holy language? #1563784Reb EliezerParticipantThe mishneh starts מאימתי which is targum because in loshan hakodesh should have been ממתי teaching us that it starts in a language that the malochim don’t understand or care about and Hashem is with us when we learn.
July 24, 2018 12:44 pm at 12:44 pm in reply to: Does the name “Lashon haKodesh” imply that it is the only holy language? #1563771Reb EliezerParticipantIt is holy because there are no dirty words e.g. ביאה and it has hidden meanings same as איבה.
July 24, 2018 12:21 pm at 12:21 pm in reply to: Can One Ride in a Self-Driving Car on Shabbos #1563756Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer says that we can’t ride a steam boat because it eliminates the mitzva of shabbosan.
Reb EliezerParticipantAs a historical note the discontinuation of wearing hats came with the arrival of President Kennedy. Cristziansich Yudensich. We follow the umas haolom.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is called loshan hakodesh because it has no dirty words.
Reb EliezerParticipantThat the Lubavitcher Rebbe will be Moshiach is only according to Hillel whose view is that techiyas hamesim will coincide with the comming of the Moshiach, otherwise there will be forty years in between.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe MB 91:12 mentioned above says כובע בראשו כדרך שהולך ברחוב. He should put a hat on by davenen the way he walks on the street. We see they wore hats on the street.
Reb EliezerParticipantDavid Hamelech says אבן מאסו הבונים היתה לראש פנה the rock that the builders despised was placed at the head corner.
July 23, 2018 4:58 pm at 4:58 pm in reply to: Terribly Missing the Gedolei Europe who built Torah Yiddishkeit in America #1563340Reb EliezerParticipantEvery generation have their own gedolim הכהן אשר יהי’ בימים ההם, יפתח בדורו כשמואל בדורו.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere are two ways to judge an individual with mercy or judgment. He could be judged what he is responsible as a human being or what he is responsible towards Hashem. When a person has gayva, he will be judged on a higher level through judgement, what he is responsible to Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantAre you talking of Hilel’s view that means that there will not be 40 years between the comming of Moshiach and techiyas hamesim, see the Abarbanel on Moshiach. It could be someone alive will be Moshiach as the gemora questions it, but there is no view that the Moshiach will return a second time.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis has caused that people don’t daven with a hat and a jacket because they daven like they go on the street, see MB O”CH 91:12.
