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.
Halevi, you are correct. See the Misneh Berurah 252:48 about starting to mill before shabbos.
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.
About Moshe Rabbenu, see the Tiferes Yisroel at the end of Kidushin telling the story of the painter.
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.
There is an accepted psak to open a refrigerator only when the fan is going.
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.
There is a sefer written on this topic entitled הכתר הכבוד לחי עולמים is it a collection of all sages views written by the talmidim showing their pictures.
The argument about פאה נכרית is in Beer Sheva 19 and the Shiltei Hagiborim above going out to the street.
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.
מרדכי – Since you can look at Tenach , look at Divrei Hayomim.
רם father of עמינדב who is the father נחשון
A nozir is considered a choteh because he rescricts himself from foods permitted.
DaasYochid, Does my distinction (chiluk) between amira leakum and a shabbos clock make sense?
Also look at the Klei Yokor in Parshas Shemini what he says about the camel.
I don’t see anything wrong. It says we should not say I hate chazir but I would desire it but I am forbidden to eat it. Also, it says that everything asur has something similar that mutor. Look at the Orech Chaim in Parshas Shemini that chazir meaning will return. will become mutor because it resembles Eisov but he will repent.
Yithro came to recognize and realize Hashem on his own. He wanted that Moshe Rabbenu should sacrifice his first son to idol worshippers. How could he agree to this? Rabbi Mazur sees this figuratively that he should not circumcise his son but let him come to the realization and circumcise himself.
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 כל הפושט יד נותנים לו 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.
The Jews renamed the Austrian city named Deutschkreutz to Zelem or Tzelem in English.
The Gemora mentions the incident where Raba shechted Rabbi Zeroh so the Rishonim forbade to get to this level because of its danger but others say that this was not literal but figurative. The word until in drink until he does not distinguish is not inclusive.
ושתי something about the Megillah, it says, להביא את ושתי המלכה, malkoh after Vashti but when she refused to come it says ותמאן המלכה ושתי malkoh is before Vashti explains the Malbim, Ahasverus said without me, you are nothing just Vashti. Vashti said, no I am a descendant of Nebuchadnezar, so I am a queen on my own and therefore she did not want to come besides the tail she grew.
Sorry, Wolf I misunderstood. You were clear.
By the Rebbes sometimes they name themselves after the son of the mother, if they come from a great yichus on her side.
The מהרשא named himself Aidles after his mother in law who supported him.
It is true that the Meharam Shick called himself by this last name for the acronym שם ישראל קודש.
My wife a”h kept her maiden name as a middle name,
Wolf, why did she want to keep her maiden name?
The RMA 695:2 says that a person should drink as much too fall asleep, at which he cannot differentiate Haman and Mordechai, whom to bless and whom to curse. The Eyin Yaakov says that there is a logic to bless Haman because 48 neviim could not accomplish what he did, whereas there is also some logic to curse ch’v Mordechai for starting up with Haman for not bowing down to him so he would not know whom to bless and whom to curse. The truth of the matter is, explains the 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 not to give respect to him.
Levi – לוי
It says תחת השמים לא תשכח by the annihilation of Amolek. If you take the letters under השמים for example under ה is ו and so on you get a gematria of 526 which adds up to the word שכור indicating even when you drunk don’t forget Amolek.
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.
Hadassah another name for Esther.
A man will not have anything to do with a woman having another man’s surname as long we apply the prefix Mrs.
I see the opposite in the Zohar she is either tied to the father before marriage or to the husband after marriage through her surname.
If your minhag is to put on Tefilin on Chal Hamoad put it on privately at home but not in public, if it is not the minhag hamakom.
Look at the brim question that I mentioned where even on what kind of hat to wear we cannot agree.
The isur is not the goy doing a melochoh on shabbos because he can do it for his own benefit, but doing a melochoh for the benefit of a Jew.
There are others who are matir. I think the difference is that a goy has a mind doing it, even if told erev shabbos, on shabbos for the benefit of a Jew, whereas a shabbos clock has no mind.
I told you that you are a Yochid Mumcheh. I did not read the whole Teshuva so I jumped to conclusions.
It says כשם משנכנס אב ממעטין בשמחה כך משנכנס אדר מרבין בשמחה the same way as when Av comes we diminish joy the same Ador comes we add joy. How are the same. Rabbi Yosef Baumgarten explained that fasting we certainly fast for the heaven’s sake but not eating. We should behave similarly when it comes to eating. Even though we don’t currently have the Beis Hamikdash, Purim gives reason to hope that even though they sinned at the party of Achasveros, they were still helped by the killing of Vashti. Even though we are not worthy of our redemption, Hashem will help us to bring the redemption in our time speedily.
I get the impression that by cooking where no action is involved it is permitted to use a shabbos clock but not by anything else besides putting on a light.
Reb Moshe compares cooking to the Nemukei Yosef different than anything else, why?
Sorry, Why does he mention the Nemukei Yosef where the action is considered finished erev shabbos?
It is not the same the melocho is finished erev shabbos but amira leakim the action is being done on shabbos by a goy. It is true that the opposite true when putting it off which might be a melocho sh’eina tzerica legufah.
The Reb Moshe mentions the Nimukei Yosef in Bovo Kama that the whole action is already finished erev shabbos. It is true that Tosfas in Shabbos answers on hasroas safek that it is not considered because it will cook automatically if you don’t remove the bread from the oven.
I think the opposite that since no action is required once you put the pot on erev shabbos, you can use a timer by cooking.
