The reason that והגדת לבנך applies to yourself alone also, because when you express yourself, you strengthen your own belief as well.
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.It is an argument whether yearning alone is good enough or we have to do deeds like doing things to bring unity and building the bais hamikdash together.
Look at the Rambam Hilchas Daes 6:9 that there is a mitzva to admonish him בין אדם למקום and if he does not change, you can ashame him in public.
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.
DY, He is not a kofer but it is preferable to do it because of לעשות נחת רוח ליוצרנו like a the Mesilos Yeshorim says that if we do mitzvos as a son, we anticipate what the father wants, but when we do it because we were commanded, we do it as a servant, so we do the minimum we must do.
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.
Wolf, See O”CH 25 MB sk 14
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.Wolf, did you see my previous post that if someone can put on Tefillin and he doesn’t put it on on- purpose, he might not be yotze krias shma because it is an עדות שקר and be a מצוה הבאה בעבירה? See MB 25:4 only בדיעבד יוצא.
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.
The Rabbi Joseph Elias – The Haggadah from Artscroll is in great detail in English.
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.
I happened to be very much makpid on mayim achronim at least on shabbos see O”CH 181 siman 10. Besides the reason for the melach sadomis there was another reason were someone was recognized because of the spot left on his moustache. We can only be redeemed when we correct our transgressions that caused our exile from EY. The Ksav Sofer in Parshas Devorim starting ראשונים שנתגלו עוונם explains in great detail the difference between the first חורבן and the second. The first was caused because of violation of בין אדם למקום idol worship, adultery and murder. These transgressions are caused because of affluence. People forget who has bestowed them all the good because of a fertile land. They were exiled to Babylon where they were noble man doing very well. They had to show that they will not sway away from Hashem because of their affluence. Our current exile is the opposite. This second exile is because of בין אדם לחבירו it came because of futile hatred which comes about when people are jelous of each other. Therefore we must be exiled going from one place to another and have futile love אהבת חנם to correct our transgression. This is indicated in the passage הא לחמא עניא we are in a state of poverty so we want to correct our futile hatred by inviting people to our meal which will bring the redemption in our time Amen. We can see ourselves being around a circle and Hashem is in the center. Through the Torah we bring the points together to make the circle smaller and eventually coincide with the center,
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.
Wolf, We might go a step further, if you have no reason for not putting on tefillin, and you say krias shma without it, it might be a מצוה הבאה בעבירה because it is an עדות שקר and you are not yotza krias shma. See MB 25:4
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, Mechaber O”CH 25:4
Yekke2, What about כל הקורא קריאת שמע בלא תפילין כאילו מעיד עדות שקר?
Yekke2, What about that we don’t have a גוף נקי?
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.
With tefillin you tie yourself to Hashem on your left hand with one sense, feeling, with one compartment, recognizing your weakness close to the heart, thereby sanctifying your actions, and on your head to sanctify your mind which contains four senses (smelling, tasting, seeing, hearing) with four compartments.
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.
Gaon, The Rabbenu Bechaye quotes the Rabbenu Chananel in Parshas Bo that the Riyeh has to follow the cheshbun. He says that the עיקר is the חשבון.
The proof to the Rabbenu Chananel is Rabbon Gamliel with his forms that the edim had to agree to. He brings a proof from the desert where there was no sun or moon only the clouds and they were able to make Rosh Chodesh because they went after the cheshbun and not after the riyeh,
The Magen Avraham asks the question that the mitzva of sefira is to show our anticipation for Kabolas Hatorah, but it was given on the second day of Shavuos which is really the fifty first day of sefira? He answers that this implies Yom Tov Sheni Shel Golias. The Torah was given to know how to live in diaspora as it says שם תהא קבורתכם there in golias when the only thing that teaches us is the Torah. In Eretz Yisroel, if we were holy enough, we would have understood the Torah on our own like the avos kept the Torah in Eretz Yisroel before it was given.
They consider potatoes as the חיי אדם but canola like olive oil, soya and corn we can avoid.
Potatoes were not available at the time of the prohibition in Europe even if it is considered a legume.
See the RMA 453 and the Mordechai 588. They forbade anything called legume.
See MB 496 in the beginning about Yom Tov Sheni. It is a דבר שבמנין צריך מנין אחר להתירו once it was forbidden by count, we need as great chachomim to permit it.
See the RMA 690:17 and the Baer Hetev there in great detail.
About a Minhag see the RMA 690:17 ואין לבטל שום מנהג או ללעוג עליו כי לא לחינם הוקבעו we should not eliminate any minhag or laugh over it because they were not for nothing instituted, See the Baer Hetev there in great detail.
If you want to know Avi K that the repetition of shacharis shamonei esrei because of Yaaleh V’yova only applies to an individual but the shaliach tzibur does not repeat it because he still has musaf when rosh chodesh will be mentioned and we don’t want to put an extra effort on the tzibur.
What does that have to do with a Yeshiva boy? We are talking about a young man at the time of the Baal Shem Tov, who never learned how to daven and did the whistling on his own.
There was another 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 a story where a rabbi in his drosha said that because of the destruction of the temple, Hashem cannot enjoy the sacrifices as He used to. A man heard this, goes home and asks his wife to bake two challas and he put it in the aron hakodesh. When the poor shamash saw this, he took it home. The man came back and saw that it disappeared. He thought that Hashem took it. Eventually the story came to the rabbi who wanted to see what is going on. He saw how the shamash was taking the chalas. He went and told the man, do you think Hashem needs your chalas? In a dream it was revealed to the rabbi, that since he disrupted the man’s deed, he must pass on before his time. Hashem didn’t enjoy anything as much as these chalas since the destruction of temple because it came from a full heart.
Thank you prayer. As your name, your tefilas should be listened to. It says
הסומך גאולה לתפילה של ערבית אינה ניזק באותו היום explains the Chasan Sofer that when people bother us at night in galus that the redemption is not coming, we should realize it depends on our tefilas with what ferver we daven for it. If a majority would ask for it with a full heart, we could bring it.I figure it is 18 minutes.
Health, what happens if Trump gets Sessions to fire Rod Rosenstein?
Derech Eretz and Yiras Shomaim was a prerequisite to be able to accept the Torah. It took twenty six generations before they could accept it. When they stopped following the Torah, they lost the land and it was given to the goyim.
coffee addict, if we have no derech eretz and yiras shomaim, we don’t deserve the land and Hashem would have never given it to us.
The reason that they were flooded by the Mabul for robbery because they said לית דין ולית דיין we can do whatever we want as there is no ruler over us.
Thank you DY. She went into the hospital the first seder night and passed on Rosh Chodesh Iyar two weeks after by her heart stopping 15 minutes.
She was very obese. I have a son and daughter each has two children.
