Reb EliezerParticipant
MDG can you give me the source?
Reb EliezerParticipantSee also there Siman 3-4 about how the eved has a choice to convert to Judaism.
Reb EliezerParticipantCoffee Addict, See Hilchas Avodim in Shulchan Aruch Yorei Deah 267:17 about the rules that he becomes a Jew like a woman.
Reb EliezerParticipantSometimes women have no choice but drive for a carpool.
Reb EliezerParticipantCoffee Addict, why are you so sure that it only applies in Eretz Yisroel? The Rambam on eved knaani Avodim 8:9 says, ืืืื ืื ืืื ืืื ืืคืืื ืืืื ืืื ืฉืืืจืฅ ืืื ืืขืื”ื it looks like it applies currently even though they were not in Eretz Yisroel.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer, that even though the others were able to bow down to Haman, Mordechai could not because Haman was his slave and so people will say that he is bowing down to an idol form Haman was wearing and not giving respect to him. The midrash says that Mordechai actually showed the contract to Haman indicating that he cannot bow down in front of him. They were together in a desert were Mordechai provided bread to Haman if he sells himself as a servant. The Chasam Sofer goes so far to interpret ืื ืืืื ืืื ืืฉืจ ืืื ืืืืื referring to Haman. Mordechai was telling them that he cannot bow down to Haman because he is considered to be a Jew.
Reb EliezerParticipantEven the Mechaber would not require you to satisfy your chiyuv by making you sick. The Torah is ืืจืืื ืืจืื ื ืืขื and not to afflict yourself because we have to go lechumra. He would agree to just drink more than the usual.
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.Reb EliezerParticipantDQ, Check the Biur Halacha in name of the Meiri on ืขื ืืื ืืืข.
Reb EliezerParticipantDQ , I don’t know what you are saying that safek divrei sofrim lechumra. ืกืคืืงื ืืจืื ื ืืงืืื The Rambam holds even by a mitzvas asei ืกืคืืงื ืื ืืชืืจื ืืืจืื ื ืืืืืจื but ืื ืืชืืจื is lekulah. The megila in the daytime is m’divrei kabolah lechumra but at night is oral law. A bar mitzva should not lein in the daytime but should be permitted at night. Isn’t divrei sofrim same as ืืืจืื ื?
Reb EliezerParticipantIn the News – Reuvein Epstein 18 Years Old, Stone Cold – Purim , Required Reading Material.
Over drinking on Purim ends up in the hospital.Reb EliezerParticipantThe person drunk doesn’t know what is greater the saving of the Bnei Yisroel or the destruction of Haman. ืืจืืจ ืืื and ืืจืื ืืจืืื have the same gematria explains the Magen Avraham. There is a difference that is not so obvious. Arur is greater than Haman whereas Mordechai is greater then Baruch, Haman was diminished but Mordechai was elevated.
Reb EliezerParticipantืืื ืืคืืจืื the midrash says that Yom Kippur is like Purim. They are both Kabolas Hatorah and they are both a time of forgiveness. Purim is greater it is a time of joy because we accepted the Torah willingly and we were saved but Yom Kippur also can be a tine of joy even if we fast. We fast on Yom Kippur falling on shabbos because forgiveness is our oneg shabbos.

All this might encourage more terrorism. Cutting off aid just gives them validity for their mission that they must fight for their own survival. The Marshall Plan helped against communism.
February 28, 2018 2:27 pm at 2:27 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1479546Reb EliezerParticipantFinding all Rav Miller’s Torah in one place is performing the act of ืืืคืืฆื ืืขืื ืืชืื ืืืฆื and their act is praiseworthy and they deserve credit by citing their source.
February 28, 2018 12:50 pm at 12:50 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1479397Reb EliezerParticipantThe source is the web site because of all the work they put in to collect the information which is public, and not Rav Miller Ztzl.
February 27, 2018 11:01 pm at 11:01 pm in reply to: President Donald Trump, Oheiv Yisroel Par Excellence #1479112Reb EliezerParticipantI am not saying Trump is an anti-semite, but your quote encourages it. Like the difference between the chacham and rashe in the Haggadah. They sound the same, but the Chasan Sofer explains that the chacham uses similar language in order the rashe should think that he has a comrade in wickedness, saying you are a rashe I am also a rashe, and thereby he reveals himself. Similarly, if Trump is not careful with his language, he encourages the white nationalist to think that he is also an advocate of their cause.
February 27, 2018 10:01 pm at 10:01 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1479101Reb EliezerParticipantDid Joseph cite the source? Would the source be Rav Miller ztzl or the web site?
February 27, 2018 10:01 pm at 10:01 pm in reply to: President Donald Trump, Oheiv Yisroel Par Excellence #1479096Reb EliezerParticipantNews: 57% more anti-semitic incidents in 2017 encouraged by Donald Trump.
February 27, 2018 9:15 pm at 9:15 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1479084Reb EliezerParticipantIf the web site collected all Rav MIller’s public shiurim isn’t that time and work that gives them some right over others?
February 27, 2018 9:15 pm at 9:15 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1479082Reb EliezerParticipantI am confused. Who gave the rights to the website to distribute Rav Miller’s Torah?
Reb EliezerParticipantIt could be. We find by Chanukah who insists to use shemen zayis because that caused the miracle. Here also the Biur Halocha mentioned above, says that we are celebrating the drunkenness that brought the miracles through wine at the sudah.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe word ืืืกืืื used in Shulchan Aruch Arech Chaim 695;2 from Tractate Megilla 7:2 as traslated by Rashi meaning to get drunk with wine.
February 27, 2018 1:56 pm at 1:56 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1478122Reb EliezerParticipantIt says ืืืชืืจืชื the Torah is his. We pasken ืจื ืฉืืื ืขื ืืืืื, ืืื not ืืืืื ื.
February 27, 2018 1:06 pm at 1:06 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1478106Reb EliezerParticipantDoes not ืืื ื ืืืืืืชื ืืื ื apply?
February 27, 2018 12:59 pm at 12:59 pm in reply to: Rav Miller Website Accuses ‘Joseph’ Of Stealing #1478087Reb EliezerParticipantI think they are concerned that Rav Miller will not be respected by the comments on his shiurim, not so much the copyright infringement.
Reb EliezerParticipantI know like sippur yetzias mitzraim there is constantly a new chiyuv after you drink untll you fall asleep, when you fall asleep there is no new chiyuv.
Reb EliezerParticipantI wrote under the topic Purim Question;
The Chidushei Harim has an interesting idea about drinking on Purim. A man collected and set aside a lot of money to do an averoh. He met a very poor family who needed the money. Having mercy on them, he completely forgot why he put aside the money and gave it to them. The heavenly court became very impressed with his deed and decided to grant anything he wished. They became afraid that he will wish something that they are not ready to grant him, the redemption. So, they decreed that his whole life he will have to be drunk to be out of his mind. Purim is a very sacred day where they grant any wish ืื ืืคืืฉื ืื ื ืืชื ืื ืื whoever stretches up his hand is granted whatever he wants. We can ask for the redemption but it might not be time yet, so the chachomim decreed to be drunk this day.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe word ืขื in ืขื ืืื ืืืข is not inclusive but drink until you cannot differentiate but stop a little before or until you fall asleep.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe mitzva of drinking is not a mitzva by itself but part of the sudah to be get lighthearted as explained before.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Biur Behalacha 695:2 explains that we drink because all the great miracles happened through drinking. First, Vashti was killed because of drinking as we see when Achashverus became sober he regretted what he did. Haman was decreed to be hanged at the meal , where their drinking most probably encouraged it.
February 27, 2018 9:37 am at 9:37 am in reply to: Are the nazis really descendants of Amalek #1477877Reb EliezerParticipantA joke comes to my mind where the Jews said that Nasser will die on a Jewish holiday. How do you know that? Whatever day he will drop dead will be a Jewish holiday.
February 27, 2018 9:25 am at 9:25 am in reply to: Are the nazis really descendants of Amalek #1477871Reb EliezerParticipantThe article says that it actually happened on Hoshanah Rabba of 1946 when the judgements are finalized. Maybe it was called Purim festival because of the destruction of Amolek.
February 27, 2018 9:21 am at 9:21 am in reply to: Are the nazis really descendants of Amalek #1477860Reb EliezerParticipantWhen I googled Purimfest 1946, I found that at the Nurnberg trial ten were executed because Goering ym”s committed suicide. This happened on Yom Kippur which is like Purim.
February 27, 2018 8:41 am at 8:41 am in reply to: Are the nazis really descendants of Amalek #1477849Reb EliezerParticipantI forget about the large vov indicating the 6th millennium.
(not only small letters but out of the ordinary letters included, large or small found in the sons of Haman , vov and zayin in Vayzoso and tov and shiyen ืืชืฉื).February 27, 2018 8:41 am at 8:41 am in reply to: Are the nazis really descendants of Amalek #1477847Reb EliezerParticipantI was told that this Julius Streicher is implied in the small letters of the children of Haman in the Megilla 1946. ืชืฉื
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says in Kaheles ืืืคืจ ืืืืฅ ืื ืืคืื one who digs a pit for the other will fall in it. In the Torah ืื ืืืืจ ืืฉืจ ืืื ืขืืืื, in the pot they cooked they were cooked in it. Haman was hanged on the tree he prepared for Mordechai.
Reb EliezerParticipantlesschumras you are right. Guilt they can retract but not acquitel except if tzodukim agree. see Rambam above.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat is the difference of eidei hackchoshe and eidei zomemim? In eidim zomemim they are destroying the credibility of the eidim whereas in eidei hackchoshe they are not destroying the eidim but their argument.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat he says is true when acquitting once there is a verdict on something that the ืฆืืืงืื ืืื ืืืืื ืื but not on guilt. Rambam Sanhedrin 10:9
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Yalkut Shimoni 1091:2 Achashverus regretted killing Vashti saying where is Vashti. The seven rulers said you killed her. He said, and who gave me the advice? After this, we don’t hear from them anymore.
February 26, 2018 12:53 pm at 12:53 pm in reply to: Are the nazis really descendants of Amalek #1477067Reb EliezerParticipantThis hitting something or making noise by Haman is mentioned in the RMA SA O”CH 690:17 as discussed above. Minhogim are sacred and do not dismiss them. The Chasam Sofer said ืื ืื has the letters ืืื ื.
February 26, 2018 12:10 pm at 12:10 pm in reply to: Are the nazis really descendants of Amalek #1476975Reb EliezerParticipantHealth you are right. The reason we make noise by mentioning Haman’s name is because we want to erase his name yms”v to perform the mitzva of annihilation of Amalek.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer explains that since the sudah was made by Achashverus as a celebration for the beis hamikdash not being rebuilt anymore, it is considered like an a”z and filling themselves up before the sudah would not have helped because by a”z ืฉืื ืืืจื ืืืืืชื is also forbidden. It doesn’t say thatr they ate but they enjoyed themselves. We see that Hashem, even at the time we are sinning, is helping us with the demise of Vashti.
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard that George Bernard Shaw was a non-conformist. He did not see any benefit in the brim of the hat so he cut it off. Even though, I think, it protects you from the sun rays.
Reb EliezerParticipantHashem’s name is not mentioned directly in the Megillah because the miracles are hidden. We must read Megillas Esther in order, night and day, recognizing the tzoras and hatzolah , by uncovering the hidden as the words Megillas Esther represents in its meaning.
February 25, 2018 9:23 pm at 9:23 pm in reply to: Litvishe chasanim wearing frocks at their chasunas #1476712Reb EliezerParticipantIs the kitel worn on the outside or under a coat?
Reb EliezerParticipantAccording the Rabbenu Bachaye the words ืื ืชืฉื can mean to elevate or off with his head as the two servants of Paraoh. This depends on how we count the Bnei Yisroel. If we count them normally, it can bring a ch”v plague. Why? The above commentary explains, that if we look at the Bnei Yisroel as a whole, they are all righteous. But , if we count them normally, we separate the good and the bad. if we count with machtzis hashekel, we recognize that all belong together because individually we are only a half a person. Bolok recognized this. He said to Bilom, go to a place where you can only see part of them but not whole. Seeing the whole you can’t hurt them.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Seder Hadoros under 3395 says that Vashti was reincarnated in the cow that was sold to a chasid and the cow did not want to plow on shabbos when the chasid whispered in her ear that it is shabbos today. This was a punishment for having Jewish girls work on shabbos.
Achashverus converted to Judaism because of this.Reb EliezerParticipantThe Bnei Yisoschor says that it says in Eicho ืื ืืฆื ืื ืื Monoach was an am haaretz everyone knew ืื ืืืืฆืจ ืืืฉืจืื ื ืขืฉื ืจืืฉ, whoever hurts Yisroel will be elevated, like Haman because Hashem wants to fight him and the greater they are the harder they fall.
February 25, 2018 4:51 pm at 4:51 pm in reply to: President Donald Trump, Oheiv Yisroel Par Excellence #1476382Reb EliezerParticipantDoesn’t white supremacy include anti-semitism?
