For sinas chinom, look up the Rashbam, Ramban on לא תשנא את אחיך בלבבך do not keep your hatred bottled up in your heart but admonish him about it. See also the Yad Yosef on the Ein Yaakov Yoma 9. According to this there are two causes 1) not admonishing, telling him why you hate him 2) hating for an inexcusable reason where your reason for hatred is not an acceptable reason so you act like friend and keep the hatred fester in your heart.
It says היום אם בקולו תשמעו, it can be today, if we listen to him.
The answer might lie in our current parsha Voeschanan Devorim 4:29 ובקשתם את ה’ אלקיך ומצאת כי תדרשנו בכל לבבך ובכל נפשך you will seek Hashem your G-d and find him because you will look for him with your whole heart and soul. This we should remember in galus and Moshiach will come.
It says כל המתאבל על ירושלים זוכה ורואה בשמחתה whoever mourns Jerusalem will see its rejoycing. Explains the Chasam Sofer that he shows that the loss is not dead which is forgotten but it is still alive. He can actually see the redemption and thereby be happy in its consolation.
Look at the Klei Yokor in Parshas Devorim on פנו לכם צפונה, be hidden in galus. Do not forget that we are in galus by showing off through building fancy houses. If we forget, Hashem keeps out there.
Meat is not eaten still Sunday night but can be eaten Monday so the mourning period ends the first thing Monday morning.
Publicly we don’t differentiate in order not to take it lightly.
What about maris ayin?
Emphasize the importance of Tefila at least once a day. Point out whom and what to daven for, so tefila will not be a burden.
My Rebbe thought me that צלם אלקים indicates not to go to a goyishe barber.
The Chasam Sofer says there אין לי עסק בנסתרות. Some were a jacket buttoning on the right in order to place the right on the left.
See Chasam Soder O”CH 159 says there is nothing wrong in shaving.
The proof might be from the mishneh ואלו מגלחין במועד.SQRT2 – According to the Tiferes Yisroel, Moshe Rabbeinu was destined to be great. So he had a great yetzer hora and thereby having a hechere neshama and which increased his drive/ability to fight it.
Extremes are no good.
Isn’t that the same as Bobov?
There are other sects within sanz headed by the Divrei Chaim, Klausenburg , Shinev and Bobov.
Davening only applies if they are a תנוק שנשבה, captured in their youth coming from a reformed family. My mother came from such a family and my father changed her becoming G-d fearing and G-d trusting.
Maybe we have a responsibility to daven for them to see the light אתה חונן לאדם דעת.
SRQT2 – Look at the Tiferes Yisroel at the end of Maseches Kidushin about the story of the painter. I don’t know what Reb Moshe means. The only thing I can tell you כל הגדול מחבירו יצרו גדול ממנו. It says by Yosef ויהי כדברה אליו יום יום ולא שמע אליה the more Aishes Potifar talked to convince him, the more he did not listen to her. The Chasan Sofer explains that the yetzer hora operates similarly. Since he has nothing good to sell so he has to talk a lot to convince someone to follow him, whereas the yetzer tov has good merchandise so he does not talk a lot.
Look at Rashi Bereshis 48:7 on ואני בבאי מפדן where Rachel will get up from her grave to pray for us
What I said is incorrect. Look at gemora Sotah 34b rather than pray, he asked the avos to intevene in his behalf.
Pray to the Hashem to have the avos intervene in his behalf giving Kalev resistance not to be influenced using their zechusim.
My daughter studied in Israel for a year. Girls over here were a uniform except Rosh Chodesh, Shabbos and Yom Tov.
Look at Rashi Bamidbar 13:22 on ויבא עד חברון Kalev went to pray at the Meoras Hamachpelah to the avos not to be influenced by the Meraglim.
Do you have a hechere neshomo like the square root of 2 having an infinte number of digits? See Tosfas Sukkah 8a ‘כל אמתא וכו
What you are saying is correct.
Just an addendum. There are four worlds where each one is more holy. The neshamas each come from higher worlds.
The Sefer Habris is a very interesting sefer written by Rabbi Pinchas Eliyohu from Vilna first published in 1797. It has no table of contents because he wants us to read it in order. The ideas build on each other.
It consists of two parts, Ksav Yosher and Divrei Emes. The first part discusses material sciences on fire, water, wind or air and earth. The second part is metaphysical, spiritual. The neshama discussion is in part 2 statement 1 נפשות ישראל, chapter 3.Thank for both of you crazykanoiy and Midwest2 for expressing my feelings which I am unable to do as eloquently.
What is so good about his domestic issues?
Does this go into the argument if efsher letzamtzem?
Against
Look at the Sefer Habris who explains in great detail that in order to fight the Yetzer Horah we must have a hechere neshama. He is as great as the neshama can take. When he exhausts it as a tzadik a hechere neshomo is given to him otherwise he can not excel. There are twenty five levels of neshama נפש רוח נשמה חיה יחידה so you can have נפש שבנפש and רוח שבנפש etc. then נפש שברוח etc then נפש שבנשמה etc. similar to sefiras haamer.
The tax cuts very good. For whom? 21T National Debt and increasing.
The online calendar is myzmanim.
We have a Hungarian saying “Don’t throw out the dirty water until you have clean” we should not have broken the Iran deal until we have something better.
By getting out of human rights council we lost our say to change anything.
When you go and tear apart families, children from parents against the Agudas stand, there is no hakoras hatov for that.
To find any molad we must find the first molad.
To find the first molad Rambam Hilchos Kidush Hachodesh (6,8) Take the day Adam Horishan was created and subtract a year.
He was created on Friday at 8 AM = 6 day 2 hr = 6 day 14 hr counted from Thursday 6 PM when the 6th day begins.
When taking a 12 month year molad difference when divided by 7 which is for one month 1 day 12 hrs 793 chalkim multiplied by 12 we get
4 days, 8 hrs 876 chalokim.
Going back a year from his creation by subtracting this from 6 day 14 hrs we get 2 days 5 hrs and 204 chalokim with the mnemonic בהר’ד is the first molad.As a side information there is a gematria implying the 29 1/2 days and 793 chalokim from one molad to the next. The verse החדש הזה לכם ראש חדשים ראשון הוא לכם לחדשי השנה adds up exactly כמה תשעה ועשרים ומחצה יום ותשצג חלקים totaling 2658.
The Chug Chatam Sofer has similar views with the Eida Charedus and if they don’t consider them the Jewish, I am surprised how the Chug Chatam Sofer would.
There is another benefit in knowing the yichus. The Chasan Sofer explains the gemora in Berochos where Rav Akiva was not selected as the nasi because לית ליה זכות אבות he doesn’t have the zachus from his yichus. So what? It brings to haughtiness, גאווה. He thinks that he is being helped because of his own zachus. Teaching us the need for yichus not that c’v Rav Akiva would use that for his elevation but it should not give that impression. Also, when needed, he can pray to be helped in their zachus.
If we say opening the bottle is a chumra than drinking the wine would be the result of the action.
Rashi says that the prayer of tzadik who is the son of a tzadik is greater than a tzadik who is the son of a rasha. Why? A tzadik whose father is a rasha thinks that compared to his father he has done enough but a tzadik son of a tzadik will say מתי יגיעו מעשי למעשי אבותי when will my actions reach my fathers actions as mentioned to say in the Tana Debai EiIyohu.
I think, if these are your chumras not halachas, you are allowed to accept them from someone else who doesn’t follow it provided the chumra is on the action but not the result of the action.
The Mayonai shel Torah brings Rabbi Meir Premislan on זה א-לי ואנוהו if someone recognizes his G-d by himself that is beautiful, but א-להי אבי וארממנהו if he praises himself by the G-d of his father without recognizing Him by himself is only a sign of elevation, haughtiness גאווה. Shteig on your own with the help of your father. Yichus is not really necessary.
It is also עקבתא דמשיחא time for עקב תשמעון at the sof we will all listen because of our afflictions. It will be the time when ירהבו הנער בזקן the young will lift up themselves over the elder and will not respect them.
I think, it comes from the sefer chasidim.
