    It comes from the word wiesen, aus weisen to show not know because it is followed by aus.

    לא היה דברים מן העולם is la ha dahm, it never happened. It is applied in a loan dispute. The borrower says I never borrowed from you.

    Rashi says that Korach was carrying the holy ark, what does he want to tell us by that? Korach claimed by birthright that the nisuis belongs to him because his father was older than Elitzofon’s father. if that is the case, he should not carry the holy ark since Gershom was older than Kehos. Therefore we go after merit and not birthright and his question is answered since Elitzofon can be more worthy than him.

    If all are holy and heard on Har Sinai the Aseres Hadibros what makes Korach better? That is the point. Korach held that they all sinned by the Eigel includiing Aharon who contibuted to the sin, but Korach from Levi did not sin.

    I don’t want to take away the business from the shadchonim. A married couple can create a shidduch. The wife knowing the girl and the husband knowing the boy. I made a shidduch like this with my late wife a’h who passed away more than eight years ago.

    The 250 people put on a talis of all techeles, what was the purpose? The Ksav Sofer explains that ztitzis is a reminder of the mitzvos thereby a reminder of Hashem, which can be done without any techeles. Someone might need a picture to keep a person being missed infront of him because of his great love to satisfy their longing for him. Techeles is like a picture of kavayochel Hashem. They wore the talis of all techeles asking if it needs ztitzis to ascetain what Moshe Rabbenu thinks of them about their closeness to Hashem. When he said it still needs tzitzis, they got upset because they came to realize that Moshe Rabbenu believes that they are not close to Hashem.

    Killed for being a Jew is Kiddush Hashem. It says in Tzetil Katan 2 that in Krias Shma we should have in mind that a fire is burning, forced to convert and we throw ourselves in there for the name of Hashem rather than convert.

    NC, Look at my posts the Rashbam and the Yad Joseph. If you have a valid reason to hate him, don’t keep the hatred bottled up in your heart, but tell him about it.

    What I said before is not correct. There is another level of sinas chinom where someone hates someone when he has a valid reason to hate him and does not tell the person about it but keeps the hatred bottled up in his heart. If he is a known rasha, you allowed to hate him so that you should not learn from him, אל תתחבר לרשע like it says don’t befriend a wicked person.

    The Torah is realistic. People tend to hate each other when they do bad to them. So the Torah says don’t hate him but tell him about it. If you don’t tell him about it, it is still asur to hate but not sinas chinom but hatred bottled up in the heart. If you will not tell him about it because it is not a valid reason to hate him, you will have sinas chinom which will fester forever. If a person is a known rasha, you allowed to hate him so not to learn from him.

    Sinas Chinom is futile hatred with no benefit because the person hated will not change his ways causing hatred forever.

    Since it is important I will quote the Rashbam -If he does bad to you, don’t get to hate him (talk to him with nice words and in your heart plan against him) but admonish him for the bad deeds he has done to you which will eventually lead to peace. Says the Yad Joseph above that this only works for excusable hatred for offenses normally being hated for but for others he will not tell the hated individual because he has no valid reason to hate him, so he will keep his hatred bottled up in his heart causing sinas chinom.

    It is a valid base it is not sinas chinom because you will not keep your hatred bottled up and will tell the person being hated bringing peace. See the Rashbam above and the Yad Joseph quoted above.

    DY, I agree. Hating someone for dressing differently is real sinas chinom because you will not tell the person hated since it is not an excusable hatred.

    Korach did not think logically. He does not explain, why he deserves the Kehuna Gedolah more than Aharon? I heard that when a person has self interest, he does not think logically.

    What is sinas chinom? It says לא תשנא את אחיך בלבבך, do not keep you hatred bottled up in your heart, הוכח תוכיח את עמיתך go admonish your friend. Explains the Yad Joseph on the Ein Yaakov Yoma 9 that this is an inexcusable hatred. When the hatred is excusable, he will tell the person the reason for his hatred bringing peace , but if it is not, like jealousy, he will not divulge his hatred and he will show a friendly face continuing the hatred.

    Why is Joshiah called “bin” Nun? The yud added to the beginning of his name has no vowels so the shevo is taken from the segol (three dots) under the beis leaving a single dot (chiruk).

    The problem is they are not trained sensitivity, tact. It is not so much the saying but how to say it. That is what derech eretz is. It is the time for Moshiach when the young have no respect for the elders ירהבו הנער בזקן.

    In Parshes Shelach, the question they had if the redemption is from Hashem without any intervening help from us or we have to do our hishtadlus.. This question still applies today for our current redemption by starting to build the Bais Hamikdash as advocated in the sefer Aim Habonim Samecha.

    Rabbenu Bachaye explains that from the first letter of the shevotim’s name multiplied by 1000 e.g. Rauvain, 200,000, we can determine how many Jews were there after the Aigal. Use Josef and exclude Levi. The sum is 597,000 indicating 3000 lost at the Aigal.

    The Baal Akedah says in Parshes Teumah based on the Midrash pelia in פתח דבריך יאיר ואתיא כמ”ד י”ז טפחים גובהו של מנורה start your words in light will be interpreted according to the view that 17 tefochim is the height of the Menorah. The number of words in the beginning of a sefer in chumash implies the Menorah. Bereishis has 7 words indicating 7 lamps, shmos has 11 words indicating 11 buttons, vayikro has 9 words for 9 flowers and devorim has 22 terms against 22 cups. There are 17 words in bamidbar for 17 tefochim height of the Menorah.
