Reb EliezerParticipant
אדם לומד מה שלבו חפץ a person learns what his heart desires. When it comes to learning and Avodas Hashem we have to bring someone to recognize the sweetness of the Torah and Avodah. This will encourage him to shteigen to Leilech Michoyil el Choyil to elevate oneself from level to level.
February 16, 2018 11:34 am at 11:34 am in reply to: How to increase Torah learning amongst Klal Yisroel (Kollel, Shiurim…) #1470601Reb EliezerParticipantYWN with its coffee room is very helpful. Create chavrusas using the speaker phone.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Mishneh Berurah (8,4) brings the Bach that covering the head with a talis by davening has 3 benefis:
1) humility – hiding his face, ashamed to show himself
2) Kavonoh – does not get distracted from davening
3) Yiraas Shomaim – brings him closer to HashemReb EliezerParticipantThe Baal Akedah on the ten commandments לא יהי לך says that currently the greatest idol is money. People rush after it forgetting who has bestowed them with it.
February 16, 2018 8:51 am at 8:51 am in reply to: Is there any way to prevent mass shootings???? #1470562Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t think the 2nd amendment applies anymore. It was created at the time when there was no police and people had to protect themselves.
Reb EliezerParticipantDidn’t Yaakov Avinu do the first cloning with the sheep?
Reb EliezerParticipantI agree the psak was about a steam ship where the person is being rocked. I think a car would have a similar ruling. Other poskim are matir for that reason.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe it means a connection לשון חיבור through our נשמה look at גיליוני השס in Shabbos 150 above by ZZZ.
February 15, 2018 6:43 pm at 6:43 pm in reply to: Blaming the stick and not the One hitting #1470272Reb EliezerParticipantIt says that averos lehachis, מינות are punished through people which creates less betochen and therefore it is harder to be helped as explained above by Lilmod Ullamed.
Reb EliezerParticipantShefoch Chamoscho happens to be a pasuk in Tehilim (79,6)
February 15, 2018 5:58 pm at 5:58 pm in reply to: Blaming the stick and not the One hitting #1470249Reb EliezerParticipantYou know that in Chad Gadyoh if the the wild cat was incorrect the dog was correct and the stick was incorrect comes out that ch”v Hashem would not correct. They answer the stick was correct because the dog was not suppose to mix in.
February 15, 2018 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm in reply to: Is it permissible to have a goy in a sukkah? #1470148Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe you are right once they escaped from the Sukkah, it became inappropriate for them.
Reb EliezerParticipantZionGate, see RMA in Shulchon Aruch Orech Chaim (380) that some say to say the passage Shefoch Chamoscho in name of the Ran which I did not find. The Rambam does not have it but the Chidoh does.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a joke where Moshiach arrives in a shul with a bent down hat with a small brim. He is told over here we wear a large brim hat bent up. He gets another hat with a large brim bent up and he goes to another shul. He is told here we were a small brim bent down. He tells them, you can’t agree on anything. When you will agree I will return.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe say in the seder Shafoch Chamoscho on the nations who don’t know you and the those who don’t call you that is they know you but don’t call you according the Satmar Rav those are the Zionist.
February 15, 2018 12:46 pm at 12:46 pm in reply to: Is it permissible to have a goy in a sukkah? #1470002Reb EliezerParticipantThe Gemora in the tractate Avodah Zarah holds the Goyim responsible for not keeping the mitzva of Sukah at the arrival of Moshiach.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe problem with my solution above is that if people are busy talking, they don’t see the others who are davening with fervor.
Reb EliezerParticipantDaasYochid I can truly say you are a Yochid Mumcheh.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says תהילת ה ידבר פי ויברך שם קדשו לעולם ועד says the Chasan Sofer, David Hamelech asked Hashem that when people see me davening, they should gain enthusiasm to also daven forever. This might be a solution to encourage others also to daven with fervor.
February 15, 2018 8:56 am at 8:56 am in reply to: The requirement for everyone to give Tochachah #1469707Reb EliezerParticipantאל תווכח לץ פן ישנאך הוכיח חכם ויאהבך says the Slah Hakodash when you admonish someone do not tell him that he is a letz because he will end up hating you but if you tell him he is smart he will love you.
February 15, 2018 8:56 am at 8:56 am in reply to: The requirement for everyone to give Tochachah #1469703Reb EliezerParticipantThe Harav Abarbenel explains, when you admonish someone be careful of לא תשא עליו חטא don’t put the sin on him., but say people do this but not that “he” does it.
Reb EliezerParticipantModerator: The order of my posts matter. You put reply 1469551 before 1469549.
Reb EliezerParticipantA talmid of Reb Moshe, Rabbi Tzvi Halevi Pollak, also known as the Grosswardeiner Rov.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou are not a Daas Yochid anymore.
Reb EliezerParticipantI agree fully with DaasYochid that circumstances matter.
Reb EliezerParticipantAnyway I was told by a Posek here in Staten Island that Reb Moshe revised his psak in later years. Please research.
Reb EliezerParticipantDoes Reb Moshe talk about air conditioners? Riding in a car is biblical according Chasam Sofer for violation of resting.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Ben Ish Chay says that shabbos is called shabbos shalom because it unites body and soul.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt it affects our spiritual well building I consider Oneg Shabbos, turning on TV is not spiritual כל שרוח הבריות נוחה ממנו it says ruach the spiritual the soul. Extreme heat can affect our learning.
February 14, 2018 5:17 pm at 5:17 pm in reply to: @Chabad Shluchah Please Explain Why Davening To/Betten a Rebbe is Okay #1469517Reb EliezerParticipantReward and punishment is just measuring stick of how much nachas ruach we create.
Reb EliezerParticipantPutting on a stove by a goy on shabbos might be another problem of bishul akum.
February 14, 2018 4:06 pm at 4:06 pm in reply to: @Chabad Shluchah Please Explain Why Davening To/Betten a Rebbe is Okay #1469464Reb EliezerParticipantIt doesn’t matter what type of a chosid you are or if you are a chosid at all as long that you want to create nachas ruach to Hashem with your service. They are all different ways to arrive to the same thing. The importance is not the means but the end,
Reb EliezerParticipantThe isur of amira lleakum came out in order not to weaken by being all the work of shabbos through a goy thereby eliminating shabbos altogether. Such that if he has no goy he might do it himself. Rambam hilchos shabos (6,1, ) so we can say that this can apply on a shabbos clock also. But if there is a mitzva, he will realize that their is a limitation on the permission. As I mentioned before that oneg shabbos might be considered a mitzva.
Reb EliezerParticipantAnyway DaasYochid what are you saying? Didn’t I say that I think that amira leakum does not apply by an A/C?
Reb EliezerParticipantIt’s an argument among the Rishonim if Amirah Leakim is oral or biblical. How can we include something that happens automatically on shabbos to something that is done through an action?
Reb EliezerParticipantIf you want to understand Amiroh Leakim see the sefer Minchas Kohen Mishmeres Shabbos Shaar 1, Chap. 1-10
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Zohar uses the expression whoever speaks in a shul about mundane matters.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think that Amirah Leakim does not apply by an A/C as discussed above the same applies to a Shabbos clock since we can’t make our own gezeros after the completion of the Shas.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb Moshe did not want his Teshuvas translated because the circumstances can change and we don’t know the circumstances of his teshuva.
Reb EliezerParticipantThings and circumstances can change. It says in Devorim(17,9) Go to the priest who is around at that time. Samuel in his generation like Yiftoch in his generation even if he has less knowledge excluding Gezeros. Ruling that we must follow our gedolim in our time if the circumstances changed. See
Panim Yafos there. See Tosfas Betzeh (6,1) d’h Vehoidnah currently.Reb EliezerParticipantSee Rema Shulchan Aruch Chaim (376,2) They allowed Amiroh Leakim for a Mitzva.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is such thing as Oneg Shabbos. Being in the dark or sweating in the heat is not Oneg Shabbos so I think you can use it even it makes some noise.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rambam’s view Hilchos Daios (6,8) is that by Ben Adam Lamokam, if one does not listen when admonished privately , can be ashamed publicly. The son of the Shlah follows this ruling when it comes to talking in shul.
Reb EliezerParticipantI think that air conditioner would be ok. We don’t want to take away from the aura of Shabbos by listening to Radio/TV. to make an Uvdah Dchol but it does not mean that a person has to suffer and be uncomfortable on Shabbos. Are you allowed to get a Goy to put on the Radio/TV?
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a Taz in Shulchon Aruch, Orech Chaim (55, 4) whose view is that whoever talks in shul cannot be counted as part of a minyan.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe ask permission before praying by saying Hashem, please open up my lips that my mouth should be able to utter your praises. Because we might not be worthy of it.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Smak makes a kal vochamer from the Goyim’s behavior in their churches. There is an excuse that we feel at home not like guests.
Reb EliezerParticipantBravo! The Little I Know, Beautiful. I applaud you. Don’t sell yourself short. What you are saying is gold. The Chidusheh Harim explains the curse to the snake as dust is everywhere, but Hashem said to him here is your food don’t bother me. We praise Hashem that we can praise Him. He does not push us aside.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf everyone talks in shul, that unity should be broken up like the unity of the Dor Haflogoh.
Reb EliezerParticipantMost Jews are davening, but some talk which creates disunity with those that are davening.
