Joseph, according to the Ramban and Droshes Haran there were two forms created one for the earth and another for the heaven. The other days these could have exploded by a big bang to create everything else such that only the first day the creation was something from nothing.
We say almost every morning אלה ברכב ואלה בסוסים ואנחנו בשם ה אלקינו נזכיר what makes us Jews exist is the belief in Hashem our G-d but המה כרעו ונפלו the great empires fell but we stay strong because the more we exist the stronger we get in our beliefs. The proof that Hashem exists is in our existence. My Rebbe said this is the meaning of השתא הכא if after all the afflictions we are still here is proof לשנה הבאה בארעא דישראל for the redemption.
See the Seder Hadoros 3442 that Aristotle at the end of his life regretted to Alexander the Great that he didn’t burn all his books.
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity can be used to explain many things in the Torah לסבר את האוזן. For example the meaning of יש מאין energy.
See the Seder Hadoros 3300, Plato was educated by Yermiah Hanovi.
The fear for the second day yom tov can still apply. If the government makes a ruling that you must count months after the sun and not after the moon.
You might want to look at Tosfas Betza 6:1 starting והאידנא.
לא נתן תורה למלאכי השרת we do the best we can and ask Hashem that he should help us that we should not falter. As long as we trust the baal hamachshir we did our best. I figure that the person has a good reason to eat out.
The reason we keep two days of yom tov is gone but we say מנהג אבותינו בידינו. The Chasan Sofer interprets that the strength of following a minhag is so great that it can break a bad ruling from above. The word המלכות in דלמא דגזרו המלכות גזירה ואתי לקלקלי can also refer to the heavenly court.
If he runs to Eretz Yisroel, he becomes free.
Gaon, if we use the Yerushalmi for yom tov, shouldn’t we also use it for shimur?
Gaon, If there is a connection, the Rambam Hilchas Yom Tov 1:7 also paskens that cutting is only forbidden orally. The pasuk is talking about cutting on.
GAON, Look at the Korban Hoedoh there. There is a comparison since the shemura is from kneading the yom tov work permission is also from kneading on. If the Mechaber 495:2 holds that cutting from attached is forbidden only orally, then the pasuk must be allowing cutting on yom tov and therefore shemura should also be from cutting.
Yerbius213, I will repeat what I wrote before:
There are two tests poverty and affluence. Each has its own ordeal. The poor feels he has been forgotten and not being helped, whereas the affluent forgets who made him so. According to the Ksav Sofer, the cure is to remember that your current status comes from Hashem. He can make you poor or rich. Constantly keep in front of you the opposite. When you are poor, keep in mind that Hashem can make you rich, whereas when you are rich, remember, Hashem can change your fortune. The Chasan Sofer interprets the haggadah בשעה שיש מצה ומרור מונחים לפניך keep the good and the bad constantly in front of you. The word פרנסה might remind us of this. It has in it נס and נסה. For the poor, it is נסה a test, but for the rich, it should be a נס a miracle because he should always feel that he doesn’t deserve it.
Milhouse, thank you, I learned something. I thought that because he represents the state, he should be permanent.
CTLawyer, that means that even though Mueller recommends impeachment, he will not be impeached if the house leadership does not want to.
CTRebbe, I figure you are using the words of the Baer Hetev in siman 453
sk 8.Do children need guarding meshaas ketzira for mitzvas matzo?
Gaon, is there a relationship between the work allowed on yom tov with the guarding of matzos as the Yerushalmi Betza 8:2 as discussed above?
I repeat what I wrote before:
Vashti said to Achashverus that you were a horse keeper for my father and he was able to drink a thousand glasses of wine and did not become drunk but you get drunk after one glass.
I think the connection is that because you are a horse keeper you cannot afford wine so you are not used to drinking, and therefore you get drunk even after one glass, but my father is rich so he drinks a lot and even a thousand glasses will not affect him.It says עשה שבתך חול ואל תצטרך לבריות make you shabbos weekly and don’t rely on others. What the poor do according to their abilities is much more appreciated. If they get cholov stam so be it. The yeshivas tend to help out with tuition so they will not send their children to public school. What does tzinus and watching movies having to do with being poor. They can’t afford a TV, they will not have one. The parents have a responsibility to teach their children proper behavior when they are young as king Solomon says חנוך לנער לפי דרכו גם כי יזקין לא יסור ממנו if you teach your children according to their understanding even when the become old will not sway from it.
עולם הפך ראיתי The world is topsy-turvy, according to the Torah there is a danger that the rich forget Hashem from where their wealth comes from and say it is their own doing.
Even hand matzos you only need one pound for the sedorim.
What about machine shmura?
If we follow the Yerushalmi above that yom tov is tied to the guarding of the matzos, then it is a lakatchila.
Gaon, Making a brocho on matzah all seven days like sukkah is a question of the baal hamoar in arba pesochim. He answers that you are eating it as bread not like matzos but sukkah you must go to sleep.
I left out the siman about the MB SK 13 it is O”CH Hilchas Yom Tov 495:2
where the Mechaber holds that cutting from the attached on yom tov is only forbidden orally. Therefore according to the Yerushalmi in Betza 8:2 brought down in Tosfas on daf 3 at the end from Rabbi Nesanel Mikinun
the guarding of matzos from chometz would also be from cutting on.I clarify what I said before. The two posukim are next to each other. In Parshas Bo Shamos 12:16 talks about the permission on yom tov for אוכל נפש. Whereas in the next pasuk it talks about ושמרתם את המצות. If we say that it refers to kneading, then they are both kneading, but if it refers to cutting from the attached, then they both refer to cutting.
There is an argument in O”CH MB sk 13 if cutting from the attached is oral according to the Mechaber but some rishonim say that is biblical. This is based on the Yerushalmi above.
There are two kinds of Shamura of one is positive and the other is negative. Positively, we must watch the matzos from kneading so that it should be baked for matzos and negatively we have to watch the matzos from cutting that it should not become chametz. Tosefas in Betza 3:1 on the top of the page brings the Yerushalmi that on yom tov we are only allowed to work for food needs from kneading on. So therefore it follows that watching the matzos is also from kneading on. But if learn that yom tov you allowed to do work for food needs from cutting that the watching of the matzos would also be from cutting.
I remember to get milk for Pesach, we took a pale to the farmer to milk the cow in front of us.
TGIShabbos, I currently set up the Menorah with wicks and oil. We are not expected to do what we cannot. Maybe we should make our own Tefilin and plant our own lulav?
TGIShabbos, you know the expression לא נתן תורה למלאכי השרת the Torah was not given to angels. We are required to do only what we can.
People who don’t know I will describe what it took in Europe to get a chicken to the table. First we went to the market to buy a live chicken. Then we went to the shochat. Afterwards we had to pluck it and get the hairs off with hot water. Next we kashered it and cooked it.
Being a single person who lost his wife around 8 years ago, I don’t think we made Pesach too easy. I think that we made Chanukah too easy. We have the the oil containers ready made. We get a reward on this world for the preparation for a mitzvah.
