Reb Eliezer

My father after the war married his first wife’s sister. Two witnesses gave testimony that his first wife with his two children were sent to the left side in Auschwitz. In was a known fact that those who were sent to the left side ended up in the gas chamber.

I, living in Staten Island, was taking on the phone to my mother, living in Boro Park, erev Yom Kippur in the afternoon. The phone went dead. Recognizing that something is wrong, I called Hatzalah. They went out and found that my mother slipped on a carpet.

Why can’t you remove it?

In Shulchan Aruch O”CH 199:7 it states that women ‘can’ among themselves bentsh mezumin but are not obligated. If they eat together with men, they should also answer.

The Rambam only applies on בין אדם למקום but not בין אדם לחבירו because I think he is a נוגע בדבר.

The sefer Tiferes Yanoson says there בידוע שיש מקום ישוב בלבנה.

The reason for making a brocho on a blossoming fruit tree is to recognize Hashem’s creation to benefit us by enjoying and appreciating the taste and smell of his actions.

It says מה רבו מעשיך ה כולם בחכמה עשית how great are your actions Hashem everything with wisdom you created.

iacisrmma, The RMA 453 says that if kitniyas falls into a pot and gets cooked it does not asser the pot because בדיעבד it does not asser it provided there is רוב. The question is if she did not know it is kitniyas is that lekatchila or bedaved?

Joseph what you are saying is correct. There is a fixed hidden time from us that comes because of fear מלך קשה כהמן. If we don’t do teshuva by ourselves, we will be forced to do it, but we can do teshuva from love and bring the geulah before the fixed time. See the Ksav Sofer on הנסתרות לה אלקינו.

Toi, Please explain to me how do you make the house fit for Moshiach?
I am saying we must unify ourselves to be worthy to bring him. See my post on the three pillars above.

JJ2020, The look at it like that. The importance is unity like the four children sitting on one table and the arba minim together. We must unify the arovus with the rest of the minim. The chelbno was included with the katoras, even though it has a bad smell, to strengthen everything. See Daroshes Haran 1

As a halochic discussion without paskenen, I would think yes. The heter of
maybe guest will come who can use it, but over here there is no maybe because the sefadi is in front of us and you can also give it to your young child.

If he doesn’t show that he cares for the will of Hashem and only does the minimum, I don’t know if that will bring Moshiach. As I said before that we must encourage others also to do mitzvos to bring unity, and that requires a complete devotion to the will of Hashem.

As our last exile came because of שנאת חנם we have to do things that bring us together. All three תורה, עבודה and גמלות חסדים can help towards אחדות, unity. Torah, the Orech Chaim Hakodash in Parshas Tzaveh says that this last redemption will come in zechus of Moshe Rabbenu. If we learn Torah lishma to do everything, when learning, to arrive to the truth like Shimon Hamosini who was willing to give up practically his whole life’s work when he saw that he did not come to the truth when he was darshening את and stopped by את ה אלקיך תיראה. This should be done with a chavrusa where each question and answers thereby finding the truth. When it comes to avodah to daven with a minyan. We must recognize that we are individually not worthy to be listened to. Then, gemilos chasodim where we help physically and monetarily each other which brings us together.

We should hide our thumbs when davening.

Isn’t it a false testimony? The Chasam Sofer held that a person who does not follow shamita should not be עולה when it is being leined on Yom Tov.
We have a minhag according to the Chok Yaakov for those who wear Tefillin to keep it on the first day of Chol Hamoed when leining kadesh.

There is a story where a man did not know how to pray, so he whistled. It was praised how this whistling was accepted above because it came from the full heart. רחמנא ליבא בעי what comes from the heart is the most important.

There is another way of looking at it. The sanctity of EY causes a bigger yetzer hora, therefore it is harder to keep the Torah there, So you either have very religious people there or the opposite. I know that Rashi brings the Sifri to keep the mitzvos in chul for EY. It doesn’t matter what the reason for keeping them in chul, but if we want the redemption, we must keep it.

Wolf, Even though they are unrelated, it still encourages to put on tefilin every day, when we don’t have another os, to be able to say krias shma with tefilin as this thread questions. Mechaber O”CH 25:4 and MB there.

Yekke2, There are two different mitzvos for krias shma one for day another for night. As per the Shagas Aryeh it makes it a time bound mitzva. So the day might have to be said with tefillin but not at night.

Yekke2, What about כל הקורא קריאת שמע בלא תפילין כאילו מעיד עדות שקר?

Yekke2, This Rabbenu Yonah agrees with the Rabbenu Bechaye in Parshas Ki Sovo that the shiyan on the tefillin indicates that they are 300 days in a year when we should put on tefillin including chol hamoed.

There is a commandment to say Kries Shma in the morning which requires tefillin as it says to tie it on as a symbolism an os on your hand and head. On Shabbos and Yom Tov since they are a symbolism for themselves, we don’t need to put on tefillin. You should say kries shma in its right time without tefillin (if unable to put on) and re-say it when tefillin is available. We don’t put on tefillin at night.
