    Is that why he hired Banon as his advisor?

    See MB 62:2 to pronounce the words in K”S correctly is against the nature, but because he is fighting it, Hashem cools off the gehinam for him which is against its nature.

    Maybe he is named after Joseph who went against his nature fighting his yetzer hora in whose zechus the yam split as written in the zetil katon 15, that is our assignment in this world.

    As a married couple we made together a shiduch such that I knew the choson and my wife knew the kallah.

    The sefer Tiferes Yanoson by Rebbe Rav Yanoson Eibshutz explains the Dor Haflogah that they built the tower in order to escape another flood by moving to the moon knowing that it is a place to settle.

    When dancing there is no mixed dancing but when they have the meal, they eat together on the women’s side.

    There are two tables set up for the choson. A small one on the men’s side and a large one at the women’s side.

    How does bitul come into the picture? Mema Nafshoch, if it is not kein penim bitul is not needed, and if it is kein penim bitul doesn’t help.

    Was the hair cut in front of the a’z or was the hair presented after it was cut?

    Gaon, in Yorei Deah 139,2 It says that takruvas a”z is not botul. I don’t see this כעין פנים.

    Thank you Gaon this was very helpful, but according to the Rambam a”z 7:9 a”z asur bemashehu so
    how is there bitul?

    According to the sofek sefako we don’t need bitul but if it is truly takruvas a”z bitul should not help.

    The light of Moshe Rabbenu might relate to Mordechai who lit up the Jews through whom they accepted the Torah with their full heart. נתמלא הבית כלו אורה like it says היתה אורה ושמחה.

    Mosheh Rabbenu said to Yisro כי יהיה להם דבר בא אלי it should have said באים in plural, but the Chasan Sofer explains that Mosheh Rabbenu said to yisro, their concern comes to my heart and I have to act on it.

    The Ohr Hachaim in the beginning of Parshas Tetzaveh says that next redemption will come because of the zechus of Mosheh Rabbenu. Learning Torah lishmah will bring Moshiach. Could be that is why his name is not mentioned. The Gemora says that Haman did not know that Mosheh Rabbenu died on 7th of Ador and he was born on the 7th of Ador. That he died on 7th of Ador he knew? The simple explanation is died then because he was born then, but the Yaaros Dvash says that right away when he died he was reborn. We get the strength to be mechadesh from Mosheh Rabbenu. It could be his name is not mentioned because this strength is hidden.

    The Baal Haturim explains that Mosheh Rabbenu’ s name is not mentioned in Parshas Tetzaveh because he asked to be erased from your book you wrote. It looks like this is a punishment. It could be that this is a commemoration of his greatness. His two outstanding character traits are his compassion and humility. This could commemorate both as this statement above was said for the forgiveness of the Bnei Yisroel of the sin of the golden calf. It also indicates his humility feeling that he is not worthy to be mentioned. The GRA says that this commemorates his yahr zeit which is every year at Parshas Tetzaveh.

    A live person giving up a kidney was questioned by Rabbi Ovadyeh Yosef in Yechaveh Daas Chelek 3 Yorei Deah 84 who says that not only you are allowed to, but it is a mitzva to save someone.

    The question was asked by the נודע ביהודה מהדורא תנינא יורה דעה סימן רי about learning by doctors on a dead person. He rules that as long the person saved is in front of us, we can save him by removing a body part but not for learning for the future.

    The Aruch Hashulchon above brings the sevoro of the Mordechai in the name of the Ravye. He applies the logic to married women which the Mishneh Berurah argues but for girls they agree.
    Check their view where they start with erva finish with hirhur.

    Gaon, I also went to Yeshivas with great rebbis so I can consider myself a talmid chochom, talmid m’chochom. The isur is not maras ayin but hirhur. True erva is asur until the body is turned away completely and closing the eye or turning the head will not help, but for hirhur since he does not see it, is enough.

    Gaon, the reason the girls go with uncovered hair is like the Aruch Hashulchon 75:7 allows a man to daven in front of a married woman with uncovered hair but not anything else because we are used to it, so there is no hirhur. If hair is a true erva, what is the difference?

    I am getting upset at you Gaon. Sorry, but you don’t act like a Gaon. You jump to conclusions. This sefer quotes verbatim what the gedolim have said about wigs.

    Natura hair wigs are worse if they look like uncovered hair which can bring to hirhur. The isur of uncovered hair is not erva but hirur since you can look away or close your eyes by davening, this does not apply to erva, which is any uncovered body part that normally is covered except hair.

    Many are saying to go back to Har Sinai, but we don’t have to go back there as all jewish neshomas were there even those that will be born later. Coming from Hungary, I would like to return to the time of the Chasam Sofer where most of my minhogim originate.

    The Chofetz Chaim has a parable on this. A prince entrusted a man to adorn his crown for coronation with precious stones. The man being busy with another errand delegated the job of getting the jewels to his wife. She thinking, what is the difference no one will know, decided to get fake stones. When the prince wore his crown, they examined his crown and discovered the fake jewelry. He became angry at the man saying, how can you do this to me? He excused himself that his wife did this. The man was held responsible for delegating the task. Says the Chofetz Chaim that when we davin in front of a woman’s uncovered hair, we are adorning Hashem’s crown with fake jewelry.

    Hair is not asur because of ervah but hirhur otherwise we could not look away or close eyes by davening. See the argument between the Beer Sheva 17 or 19 and the Shiltei Hagiborim in Shabbos on the mishneh במה אשה יוצא

    The above logic that currently women go like that is used by the Aruch Hashulchon 75:7 about davening in front of an uncovered hair but the Mishnah Berurah over there argues on it.

    It bases itself that Dinoh got punished because she was a yetzonis as it says כל כבודה בת מלך פנימה the honor of a woman is being inside like the angels told by Avrohom about Sarah Imenu הנה באהל. Times have changed because women had to go to work. As men are used in seeing them outside, they don’t get affected.
