    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.

    To understand if there is kishuf today, we first must understand what it is. See the Sefer Hachinuch on the mitzva 62 of מכשפה לא תחיה.

    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.

    The Ben Ish Chai explains that it says ויחן שם ישראל נגד ההר the bnei yisroel rested in unity around the mountain. When you take the letters around הר before and after. Before is ד, ק and after is ו, ש putting it all together we get קדוש holy, indicating that unity brings to sanctity.

    When it comes to tzedakah the mitzva is not the giving but making sure that the recipient should have. The Melaoh Horaim says that in this case, when the purpose is the mitzva and not the action, his intentions don’t matter as long as the person needing it has.

    The Chasam Sofer says in the middle of the above teshuva that the shiluach tzibbur would daven ashkenaz with everyone else including the son of the Hafloh the Machnei Levi and the Chasam Sofer himself except his Rebbies the Hafloh and Rabbi Nason Adler who knew the proper kavonos in the sefard davenen as revealed by the Ari z”l.

    The Chasam Sofer O”CH 15, explains that the ashkenaz davenen has the same hidden kavonos as the sefard, but since the Ari z”l was a sefardi, he revealed them for sefard davenen. Since we don’t understand them anyway, it does not make a difference. Does who do, should daven sefard as his rebbies did. The ashkenaz davenen goes back to the destruction of the second Beis Hamikdash.

    Tzedaka is a mitzva. To give to Rabbi Meir Baal Hanes in case you lost something is a segula.

    There are different nuschaos when the yom is said. The sefardim say it before alenu and the ashkenazim after. On shabbos, the safardim say it by shacharis. The ashkenazim some say it before anim zemiros and some say it after,

    Shmita was given on Har Sinai similar to the midbar where they were free to learn so are we free to learn for the year where we refrain from working the field. Says the Yismach Moshe that shmita is against all the shabbosim that were not properly observed for seven years. A year we have 52 shabbosim with one day left behind so in seven years we have 364 shabbosim (7 x 52) with the day left behind makes it exactly 365 shabbosim.
