There is a Hungarian proverb, Don’t throw out the dirty water until you have clean. First you should renegotiate the Iran deal before you decide to leave it.
What does shteiging mean? Does he increase his knowledge or his understanding? The Chasam Sofer in Meseches Chulin 7 explains that the Rebbi is required to differentiate cases where the talmid thinks they are similar.
It says לעולם ילמוד אדם מה שלבו חפץ a person should learn what his heart desires. In the Yeshiva you are forced to learn whatever they are learning, but outside of the Yeshiva you can learn what you want.
There are two ways to bring the redemption, בעתה אחישנה one , if we are worthy and the other when we are not. If we are worthy the redemption will come spontaneously before the fixed time as the Munkatcher believed, but if we are not, there is a fixed time when Moshiach will come.
Moshiach comes with teshuva either from love or fear. Love can bring him before the time, but fear we will be forced to do teshuva with a harsh king like Haman. See the Ksav Sofer.The Jews willingly forced themselves under the mountain as Rashi explains on והם תכו לרגלך. The mountain was lifted from the kedusha. If the Jews would not have accepted the Torah, the kedusha would have left and they would have been crushed underneath it. This is similar as the Yerushalmi says that Moshe Rabbenu was able to carry the luchas because the letters on it made it light, but by the golden calf the letters flew off and the luchas became heavy and he could not carry it anymore and had to drop it.
Eli Y, Don’t put words in my mouth. It says לפום צערא אגרא the more effort the person exerts the more reward he gains. It is great to live in EY because you are living in the King’s palace but it comes with responsibilities. It is harder to live up to it. He needs heavenly help. If a person strives for it, he will be helped. He gets his reward for this strive. It says Pirkei Avos 4:15 that it is better to be a tail to lions than head of the foxes. זנב לאריות compared to ראש לשועלים. Better to be smaller to the great than greater to the small. A person learns more if he is among the great, so if we are in a holy place like EY, our effort to stay holy is rewarded.
Gadolhadorah, did you see the Malbim beginning Bereishis 7:23
וימחו מן הארץ? It seems to me that he is saying we can not rely on calculations.Eli Y, the test to stay religious in EY is very great. I stated before that because we live in the palace of the King, the yetzer hora recognizes the greatness we can accomplish, stands strongly against it and makes it very hard to overcome that.
If we live in the palace of the King in EY, our behavior has to be exceptionary.
Gadolhadorah, The Malbim in the beginning of Parshas Noach explains that the flood created a chemical change so all carbon tests are inaccurate.
The question is if the forming of the government in Israel was religiously justified or we can only create a government after of the coming of Moshiach. If we we form a government does it have to follow the teaching of the Torah.
Eli Y, here are two kinds of Zionists. One, is who fought for the land believing that they only without the help of Hashem can acquire the land.
There is another form of Zionism called religious Zionism. They believe in Hashem and gained the land of Israel to be close to Hashem and be able to perform the commandments that apply to the land.In EY since the kadusha is so great the yetzer hora is also great so there is no middle way. Either he can overcome him or not. The Sapurni says on ראה אנכי נותן לפניכם היום ברכה וקללה there is no middle way either a blessing or vice versa.
We don’t practice avelos in Nisan, so we start sefira from Rosh Chodesh Iyyar excluding lag beamor until sloshas yemai hakboloh.
The Taz’s view is that there is kedusha in printed seforim but the Torah Temimoh holds that the order of kedusha for seforim (torah on top of neviim on top of kesuvim) only applies to parchment.
Health maybe your name does not reflect your through being, if everything points to collusion with the Russians in our elections
why doesn’t the House committee investigate it properly in order to stop it in the future?Gaon, see my post 1511982.
The reason that Aesov will fall into Yosef’s hand because that when Aesov complains that Yaakov did not deal with him properly, Yosef answers that my brothers also didn’t deal with me properly but I did not repay them.
Aesov comes with his zachus of honoring his father but Yosef sacrificed himself even at the sight of danger, knowing that his brothers might kill him, when his father commanded him to go to Doson.Technology has discovered a new cure. We are happy that the doctor can heal him. We don’t say, we can’t use it because it is new.
The reason we need Moshiach ben Yosef because Easov can only fall into Yosef’s hands.
The Midrash says he was born of Tisha Beov.
The Torah is matir to go to a doctor, even though Hashem wanted you to be sick. It is a mitzva for a doctor to cure you. You can have cosmetic surgery because it makes you feel good. The Torah wants you to improve yourself spiritually and physically as we do circumcision. It is true that the Ramban in Parshas Bechuchasai on the pasuk ואולך אתכם קוממיות says that there will be a time when our great trust in Hashem will forbade us to go to the doctor not the disturb the יסורים של אהבה.
A joke comes to mind from the Levushai Mordechai where someone asked him if she can have anesthesia to give birth because the Torah says that a woman will have pain when giving birth. He said, according to you what it says והיית משוגע means that there is a mitzvah to be a meshigener.
We have the concept to be mekadesh the nigunim as the kalever did, so it doesn’t matter who writes it but its substance. We use Yom Kippur a hungarian melody from the Gypsy Queen written by Kalman Imre a hungarian composer.
Some courses are offered through DVD’s on the thegreatcourses.
EY, Sorry I think you are making a mistake Rabbi Avihu was very great in his own right no indication that he was a BT.
I referred to the Rambam above whose view is the BT is greater because he tasted the taste of sin which makes it very hard to refrain from. If someone is sinking into quicksand it is very hard to get pulled out. Many times he has to hit rock bottom to realize that what he is doing is wrong.
See the Rambam Hilchas Teshuva 7:4
Why are we relitigating the gemora, Berochos 34,2, who is greater?
The problem is hashmoas kol and how will you turn it off?
A woman stranded and who does not pick her up and let her sit in the back is a חסיד שוטה.
The story of Bruriah who reprimanded Rabbi Yosei for saying some extra words to her when he asked the way to Lud. Eruvin 53b
There is no contradiction that at the time creation certain conditions were set. If it is necessary, things can change as needed, but as long as they change, things stay steady so chazaka, inertia applies.
Look also at the Aruch Hashulchan there 185:11-13.
Look at the RMA Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat 185:10.
Look at Kidushin 12,1 רב מנגיד על דמקדש בלא שידוכי and SH/A HaEven Ezer 26,4 , where they give makas mardus דמקדש בלא שידוך.
The first shadchan was Hashem as we say in sheva brochos שמח תשמח. A husband and wife are good shadchonim. My wife and I made a good shiduch. I knew the Choson and she knew the Kallah.
The the pasuk הכל עשה יפה בעתו rabbi avihu says השי”ת בנה עולמות ומחריבן.
For Rosh Chodesh bentshin they go to shul because Rosh Chodesh was given to the women.
It is interesting that “The Rav” refers for everyone to his own Rebbi. We find in Perek Chelek where each of the talmidim thought that Moshach is his own Rebbi. As the Abarbinal says that משיח stands for an acronym for each one’s Rebbies מנחם, שילה, ינון and חנינה.
This sefer is a thick red sefer published 1998 in EY. It has many references under the halochos similar to the 5 Chalokim of Piskei Teshuvas by Ben Zion Rabonowitz following the MB and current applicable teshuvas. In the back are teshuvas from Rabbi Chaim Kanevsky Shlita.
Gaon, Why are we mentioning in davening המחדש בכל יום תמיד מעשה בראשית the proof from the creation of the light that is renewed every day according the Torah and Mitzvos that people do and what they deserve which changes daily?
