Joseph, look at the Klei Yokor in the beginning of Parshas Vaychi that the reason that he was held back from revealing the coming of moshiach because if people know that it won’t be in their time, they become meyaash and forget that they are in galus building fancy houses and thereby extending the time when he will come.
Why don’t we have a prime minister? They hated the monarch George. They revolted against him, so they didn’t want to have a monarch.
I think it is based on the GRA’s view.
Moshiach is suppose to come unexpected. I think that strengthens the recognizing of a miracle. The Maharal explains that when someone repeats some saying in the name of the sayer will bring the redemption. Hashem wants us to recognize His miracles and give credit for it. When we mention the name of the sayer, we are giving credit to him. So surely we will similarly give credit to Hashem for the redemption.
Joseph, You don’t seem to know you American history. President Washington refused to be crowned king. In other countries like Israel you ha ve a president and a prime minister. The president represents the state he is permanent similar to the queen of England but prime minister is elected every term. In America the president takes the place of the prime minister and the flag stands for the state. We have enough problems as it is with Trump thinking he is king. What would happen if he would be made king, you could not control his selfishness.
It says that it is forbidden to count תיפח עצמותיו so how can we count the time when Moshiach will come? Even the Ramban on אשר ברא אלקים לעשות calculates that Moshiach will come in the 5118. The Chasam Sofer explains that this was a suitable time, but we were not worthy of it.
There is a story about someone took along his son and a guest to go to the market in Germany a place called Leipzig. When they started to travel, the son asks how much more do we need to travel? The father gets very upset and tells him, what are you asking me we just got on the wagon. They were traveling a few hours, when the guest was asking the same question. He answered him another hour. The son get upset saying why did you scream at me before when I asked the same question? The father said to him that at that time it was not
appropriate to ask the question. The comparison is obvious that we in the akavta demoshicha so now it become time to ask.yid1818, I see the number 210 which is the number of years that the Jews worked in mitzraim. It is determined from Yitzchok the difference between ישחק and יצחק. It says כימי צאתינו ממצרים אראנו נפלאות so we see that the final גאולה will be similar to mitzraim.
The sefer עמודה שבעה compares it to a mikveh. A so comprises 144 eggs so 40 so is 5760. He said the world will be מטוהר, purified at that time.
The Biur Halacha Hilchas Rosh Chodesh about the year תשמג -5743 -1983 writes at the end of Siman 427 ואין לנו לדאוג כל כך יותר כי בוודאי בעת ההיא
.וגם הרבה קודם יהי הגאולה ונקדש על פי הראיהI will repeat what I said before:
The word for marriage in hebrew is Nisuim to elevate, that is to put each other on a pedestal and only see good in each other. When loving each other, each partner is willing to accept criticism to improve each other spiritually.
I lost my wife around 8 years ago. When you become old and children are married off, there is someone who takes care on the other. Living together without marriage is goyish.When it comes to Krias Shema, women are exempt even though it is not time bound as we say it day and night. But, the Shagas Aryeh explains that there are two mitzvos day and night. One, only applies in the day the other one only at night. Therefore it is time dependent and women are exempt.
There are certain mitzvos that women accepted on themselves such as shofar and lulav. So, they make a brocho on them and you can blow shofar for them. They might be in the sukkah for the men תשבו כעין תדורו, sit in the sukkah the way you live at home.
NC, You miss understood my question, my question was that we want to differentiate weekdays from Shabbos.
What differentiates Shabbos from weekdays?They ask the question, if uttering a brocho unnecessarily is biblical as mentioned above, how could the chachomim institute the making of a brocho in the first place? The answer that the Torah gave the strength to the chachomim through Lo Sosur to institute takonus what they felt necessary. A kal vochamer is biblical so they can learn out a kal vochamer from bentching. The Ritva in the beginning of Pesochim says that the chachomim made a brocho on mitzvas before its performance in order the the kavonoh be realized and therefore we don’t need any special kavonoh when doing mitzvos. The Nodei Beyhudah says that for this reason a שם יחוד is unnecesssary.
There is a joke about this where someone says I found a job that doesn’t pay much but it is steady. What is it? I am on a lookout tower waiting for Moshiach.
Isn’t it something to honor shabbos and yom tov with a white shirt?
The gemora says that one of the signs of Moshiach is when the young have no respect for the elderly.
Chassidism came about because of the fear of the pitfalls of kabbalah because of Shabsi Tzvi. By following the Rebbe’s view, they would be protected from faltering. The real sefardim learn currently kabbalah. It says when you are learning and stop in between and say how beautiful is this tree your endandangering your soul. The chasidic interpretation according the Kotzker is, do not sway from the teaching of the Torah to philosophy or kabbalah to understand how and why the tree grows.
This story of the out town yid is very convincing. If we don’t help him somehow what is the use of this whole forum? I am a senior retired living on social security, not rich. I don’t know how everyone else is. Maybe we can tell him where to turn to.
The Magen Avraham asks the question, how can the women say in bentchen על בריתך שחתמת בבשרנו, he answers that not having it because it is unnecessary, is like having it.
How could the women make birchas haTorah (Mechaber 48:14)? They have to learn how to do the mitzvas they are responsible. The problem is that they don’t do it ממצות לימוד התורה, it is only a הכשר מצוה? I heard an answer from Rav Noach Eisic Oelbaum that birchas haTorah might not be a birchas hamitzva but a birchas hahoduah, a brocho of praise, which women also need to take part of.
This might be related to another argument whether to make a barocho on Tefilin in Chal Hamoed. If we are exempt there could be the prohibition of bal tosif.
There is a joke from the Ben Ish Chay on expression used in the gemora חסורא מחסרא והכי קתני that people learn when they are not so well-off.
The Chacham Tzvi considered an Ashkenaz left in his will (if I remember correctly) that his descendant women should not make a brochoh on positive time dependent commandments.
iacisrmma, what you are saying is correct, they hold like the Rambam and the Mechaber O”CH 215:4, about saying unnecessary brochos which are biblical.
The MB 589:8 says that women are considered אינה מצווה ועושה, not directly commandment to do the mitzvos, who still get a reward for doing it.
ubiquitin, what you are saying is correct because Tosfas questions why don’t we say כל הפטור מהדבר ועושהו נקרא הדיוט when a person who is exempt from something and he does it is a simpleton? Tosfas answers that since the men have a requirement therefore the women can make a brochoh. The question is so what, but they are exempt? The answer according to you is that they are included in the group in the unity.
See the the Sadei Chemed כללות מ סימן קלה to קלח in great detail about different mitzvos.
Look at יביע אומר חלק א סימן כח about a long discussion about this. It is dependent on another argument between Tosfas and the Rambam if ברכה שאינה צריכה is a biblical or oral. See תוספות ראש השנה לג עמוד א on the top of the page.
The GRA’s view is that matzah in the seven days except the first day is a
קיום מצוה. The בעל המאור questions in ארבע פסחים why we don’t make a ברכה על אכילת מצה the whole seven days. He answers that we are not required to eat only matzas. If you eat matzos you are not eating eat it because it is matzos but because it is bread except the first day.I think that women have קיום מצוה not a חיוב מצוה just like ציצית that we make a ברכה on it.
Moderator: Why are the numbers not aligned? When I wanted to edit it, they became aligned. The numbers were not pasted but created right here. For this to work alignment is important.
start with 2 space 4 leave the next row blank and under 2 and 4 place 6 and 8 then fill in the blanks to add up to 15. The result is 2 9 4 place under it 7 5 3 and under it 6 1 8.

I grew up in a chassidishe yeshiva where they were very medakdek on the smallest minhag for example wearing a kittel for Hoshana Rabba leining, but Reb Moshe is more accommodating.
GAON look at what I said in reply 1483697
See the דרשת הרן – דרוש שביעי similar on what you are saying according to my understanding – they could not understand Rabbi Eliezer, so they could not follow his view because once the Torah was given down to earth, we must understand things with human understanding not heavenly.
