Reb EliezerParticipant
lesschumras 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 צדוקים אין מודים בו 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 מנהג has the letters גהנם.
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 שלא כדרך אכילתו 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 כי תשא 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 לא מצא מנוח Monoach was an am haaretz everyone knew כל המיצר לישראל נעשה ראש, 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?
February 25, 2018 11:58 am at 11:58 am in reply to: President Donald Trump, Oheiv Yisroel Par Excellence #1475909Reb EliezerParticipantIs that why he hired Banon as his advisor?
February 23, 2018 3:05 pm at 3:05 pm in reply to: Rav Avigdor Miller on Breaking Your Middos #1475560Reb EliezerParticipantSee 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThey wanted to use a spaceship travelling from the top of the tower where air pressure is light.
February 23, 2018 11:58 am at 11:58 am in reply to: Shidduchim & The great success of our Yeshivos and Beis Yaakovs #1475506Reb EliezerParticipantAs a married couple we made together a shiduch such that I knew the choson and my wife knew the kallah.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
February 23, 2018 11:58 am at 11:58 am in reply to: Choson & Kallah Walking Together Into Wedding Hall – Jewish or Gentile? #1475501Reb EliezerParticipantWhen dancing there is no mixed dancing but when they have the meal, they eat together on the women’s side.
February 23, 2018 11:58 am at 11:58 am in reply to: Choson & Kallah Walking Together Into Wedding Hall – Jewish or Gentile? #1475503Reb EliezerParticipantThere 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantHow 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantWas the hair cut in front of the a’z or was the hair presented after it was cut?
February 23, 2018 9:24 am at 9:24 am in reply to: Choson & Kallah Walking Together Into Wedding Hall – Jewish or Gentile? #1475421Reb EliezerParticipantWas this Tales of the Shul, from Rabbi Emanuel Feldman from Atlanta Georgia?
Reb EliezerParticipantOr is it that it stays intact and doesn’t get destroyed like zevicha and zarika?
Reb EliezerParticipantWasn’t this hair brought to the a”z directly? I saw the Taz about kaen penim.
Reb EliezerParticipantGaon, in Yorei Deah 139,2 It says that takruvas a”z is not botul. I don’t see this כעין פנים.
Reb EliezerParticipantGaon, what does כעין פנים mean?
Reb EliezerParticipantAs I stated before I don’t understand the logic because only a vaday needs bitul but a sofek does not.
February 22, 2018 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm in reply to: Crazy Purim idea??? Crazy yeshiva bachurim??? #1475247Reb EliezerParticipantDY, Let’s commemorate Moshe Rabbenu today with my new topic.
Reb EliezerParticipantThank you Gaon this was very helpful, but according to the Rambam a”z 7:9 a”z asur bemashehu so
how is there bitul?Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the sofek sefako we don’t need bitul but if it is truly takruvas a”z bitul should not help.
Reb EliezerParticipantGaon, I don’t get it. Is it takruvas a”z or not? if it is, why is it permitted?
February 22, 2018 1:04 pm at 1:04 pm in reply to: Commemorating Mosheh Rabbenu for Zayin Ador #1474355Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
February 22, 2018 1:02 pm at 1:02 pm in reply to: Commemorating Mosheh Rabbenu for Zayin Ador #1474330Reb EliezerParticipantMosheh 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.
February 22, 2018 12:33 pm at 12:33 pm in reply to: Commemorating Mosheh Rabbenu for Zayin Ador #1474318Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
February 22, 2018 12:33 pm at 12:33 pm in reply to: Commemorating Mosheh Rabbenu for Zayin Ador #1474271Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
February 21, 2018 11:30 pm at 11:30 pm in reply to: Choson & Kallah Walking Together Into Wedding Hall – Jewish or Gentile? #1474024Reb EliezerParticipantJust to clarify, the choson and challah entered together into the wedding hall on the women’s side.
February 21, 2018 10:31 pm at 10:31 pm in reply to: Choson & Kallah Walking Together Into Wedding Hall – Jewish or Gentile? #1474003Reb EliezerParticipantAt my wedding the choson was led my the two fathers and the kallah with the two mothers. The kallah did not go to the men’s side but I went and set together with my kallah on the women’s side.,
February 21, 2018 9:30 pm at 9:30 pm in reply to: What does a Chamsa symbolize in Orthodox judiasm? ✋ #1473982Reb EliezerParticipantThe Yabia Omer says that there is a segula against ayin hora, red cabbage which is found in the mishneh in sheviis beginning of the 9th Perek, הפיגם as translated by the Tiferes Yisrael, being a dangerous word in reverse.
Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, good point.
Reb EliezerParticipantA 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantAlso see the Aruch Hashulchon 75:11 for necessity to turn the whole body for erva.
February 20, 2018 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm in reply to: If you had one era to go back in time… where would it be? #1473289Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
February 20, 2018 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm in reply to: If you had one era to go back in time… where would it be? #1473286Reb EliezerParticipantThe Noam Elimelech says in Zetil Katan 15 writes that our assignment in this world is to change our nature.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.Reb EliezerParticipantGaon, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantGaon, 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?
