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.I lost my wife around 8 years ago. She was 8 months older,, but I was much taller. She did not like it when I mentioned her age.
Why does the Torah start with Breishis when there are practically no mitzvos there? (according to the sefer maasei Hashem it could have been included as an answer to the chacham in the haggadah) but it says
דרך ארץ קדמה לתורה the teaching of proper behavior must come first and
ראשית חכמה יראת ה, the first wisdom must be the fear of G-d.Rebbe Yid, According to you, what is the purpose to tell the story?
The Olelos Ephraim from the Klei Yokor compares the sukkah and lulav to a king who sends his servants overseas to tend a big vineyard. Recognizing that it takes a while to see results, he gives them some small vineyards to support themselves. When it comes to a big vineyard, we need teamwork to make it grow but it will not get destroyed because of crop rotation. The servants seeing that they will not see results on the big vineyard right away and it needs teamwork, they gave up on the big vinyard altogether. To correct this, the king gives two edicts. One, once in a year they have to live in the big vineyard that they should see how it is getting destroyed. Two giving them a symbolism on the importance of teamwork. This parable is based on כרמי שלי לא נטרתי I have not worked on my own vineyard. We spend time on our olam hazeh forgetting about the olam habo, so once in the beginning of the year we have to get out from our house, the olam hazeh, to live in the sukkah, the olam habo. We are also given the lulav and esrug to show the importance of teamwork.
There is a sefer called אינציקלופדיה תורנית ילקוט אליעזר from Rav Eliezer Zusman Sofer written at the time of the Ksav Sofer arranged according to topics. Under sukkah you find all the mamrei chazal.
The RMA O”CH 690:17 says that we should not eliminate any minhogim. There is a reason why they were instituted.
The Chasam Sofer says that מנהג are the reverse letters for גהנם.The Midrash says that Avraham Avinu was rewarded with the mitzva of sukkah for his Aishel inviting guests constantly by having them rest under a tree. The Ksav Sofer explains that the tree will not grow without help from above, similarly the open schach teaches us that our support comes from Hashem above.
If we hold like the Mechaber 215:4 that saying a brocho unnecessarily is forbidden biblically, then if you say a brocho indicates that you are putting tefillin on for the mitzva sake. שלא בזמנו בעי כוונה you can violate bal tosif not at a time of the mitzva if you do it to perform a mitzva, but if you doing it to saisfy a safek, you should not make a brocho.
The gemora Pesochim 42:1 tells a story of Rav Masneh who darshened that you can only bake matzoh from מים שלנו. They miss-understood his intention and thought that he is saying that they can only bake matzoh from his water. So, they all came to him asking for water. He told them I meant water resting over night. The gemora is telling us to learn the great trust they had in their sages. They did not question, what makes your water better than our water?
There is a story of the Chasam Sofer who asked his talmidim, what do you use to clean up the room? They looked all over the Shulchan Aruch and they could not find an answer. A young boy got up and said with a broom. Sometimes we have to you common sense to answer a question.
Gaon, Why are you arguing with me? I quoted the Seder Hadoros 4653
ד אלפים תריג about Pope Joan.When Diane Sawyer from ABC News went to visit the Vatican, she saw a hollow chair and was told that it was used to test the gender.
If the greek philosophy is not similar what is the danger in learning it?
Plato believed in everliving soul.
The problem studying greek philosophy is that it is very similar to the Jewish beliefs, so it is not easy to recognize the differences.
An interesting story told for year 4613- 853 There was a woman Pope whose name was Joan. She was educated in medicine and she dressed up as a man and became the doctor of the Pope. When the pope died she was appointed Pope. She became pregnant and marching in a parade she miss- carried. To this very day, there is a chair in the Vatican to test their gender.
Seder Hadoros, The Order of Generations, written by Rabbi Yechiel Halperin of Minsk, the capital of Belarus, in the seventeenth century, who is a descendant of Rashi. It is a historical account from Adam Harishon to his time. He says about Plato that originally he dismissed Jerimiah Hanovi but then he realized that his words were דברי אלקים חיים, G-dly.
In the news recently that the Bais Din of South Africa removed the hashgocha from the largest caterers in South Johanusburg from Stan & Pete.
The Malbim in the beginning of Bereshis says that what was created on the first day is an argument in the Midrash among tanoim Rabbi Yehudah holds that the light was created whereas Rabbi Nachemiah holds that the whole world was created. The same argument as Rashi and Ramban.
