See what I said under the topic talking in shul. Not talking protects the unity.
Three individuals, a doctor, an architect and a computer programmer analyst argue what was the first profession. The doctor says it had to be surgery as it says that G-d created Eve from Adam’s ribs. The architect says, No it says earlier that G-d created heaven and earth from chaos. The programmer analyst says, and who created the chaos.
Why didn’t Yosef dream that Dinah will also bow down in front of him?
Even in a dream he would not dream that his mother in law will bow down in front of him.
Why do the Goyim celebrate Kratzmich the night before and we celebrate Purim the night after?
They celebrate after a Jew and we celebrate after a Goy.
Why did the shevotim circumcise the people of Shechem?
When they are Jews no one cares.
We might want to take along a sefer to learn not to waste the time.
See Bamidbor (13,22) Parshes Shelach Rashi ויבא עד חברון Kolev went to the grave of the Avos to pray that they should help him not to follow the Meraglim’s advice.
The tent doors in the desert did not face each other, maybe, in order that one should not see and desire the others possessions.
We are forbidden to daven to the Rebbe or to a Malach. They are conduits through their prayer, because of their greatness, to be listened to us who don’t have does zechusim, benefits.
Maybe the reason is that a person doing this without a mind is like an animal. See Sefer Hachinuch 95, about sacrificing and animal for a chatos when done things unwittingly.
The Kotzker tells us that חרנה is the same as לחרן teaching us that we should hold back speaking as much as we can. Remember listen has the same letters as silent. A wild animal comes to the world when we don’t use our mouth properly. The Binah Leitim interprets coming to the world as the person speaking converts himself to a wild animal.
According the Yerushalmi it has nothing to do with Moshiach but Eliyohu Hanovi. The destruction of temple was because of sinas chinom so if we create achdus we will be forgiven and be able to rebuild the Beis Hamikdosh speedily in our time, Amen
The Machtzis Hashekel was shown of fire teaching us that everything good like money is like fire which can be used for good or bad.
If you willing to indulge in Tzedokoh, then you can indulge in material possessions.
Times have changed. In olden times a Talmid Chacham who had cash and would use credit instead was a Chilul Hasem. See the Rambam Yesoda Hatorah (5,11).
It’s hard on the parents to keep it clean and wrinkle free. I don’t remember going to the Yeshiva that they insisted on it. Any light straight color should be acceptable.
The above reply is for Folfishmusings December 25, 2012 post.
Wolfishmusings December 25, for RYBP see Yabia Omer Chelek 3 Yorei Deah 9.
Look up Yabia Omer Chelek 7 Yorei Deah 20. If danger is the reason the commeration day is important not the change in calendar.
It was a night when they played chess.
GadolHador ah, it doestn’t mean that we all should all build it together, but to build we all need to be united together in Eretz Yisroel. Maybe, the builders will be shiluchim of the rest. They will be multiple unifications there as it says עוד אקבץ עליו לנקבציו there will be multiple unifications.
December 25 is not nittel. Pope Gregory in 1589 changed the calendar removing 10 or 11 days. Also full 100 century dates e.g. 1900 are not leap years anymore only when divisible by 400. So January 6 is now nittel only.
Don’t forget that we can learn from the goyim of how to do mitzvas. The burn and desire they use for the mundane can be applied by us to the performance of mitzvas.
If you see good in others, enjoy what you have and keep away from what the Torah forbids then you will see light and not darkness.
The reason is that Reb Moshe allows cholov stam because the government watches out for mixing milk from a non-kosher animal so there is mirthas, fear involved. The question they put up is if the chachomim forbid milk from a non-jew with a count or we are doing it from custom which makes the prohibition biblical because of a neder. Certainly if someone can get cholov yisroel then he should rather get it.
I think the opposite. An avel covers a mirror but not a picture. We want a person to know that he needs others and he is not an island seeing only himself. Davening might be the same. We must daven in unity and not just seeing ourselves but others,
Look at the Baal Haturim ד”ה על פני כל אחיו נפל at the end of Parshes Chayeh Soroh about the coming of Meshiah
The Aim Habonim Somaicho holds that we should all go to Eretz Yisroel and start building the Beis Hamikdosh. See the third chapter entitled Settlement and Building. You might be able to download from http://www.hebrewbooks.org.
The above author was killed H”YD in 1944 in the holocaust. I checked the sefer exists on the web site below.
It certainly won’t burn it down with the flames. This is what we say in Nachem on Tisha B’ov.
It must be like the burning bush, never consumed.
To elaborate further, Rav Teichtal refers to the Tosafes Yom Tov in Maaser Sheni (5,2) referring to a Yerushalmi there ruling that the building will come before Meshiah. The one from above of fire will come on top of our building. The proof is from Nachem asking to surround something from the one from fire. The question is: Surround What? The building we built.
You are correct we need Eliyohu Hanovi to tell us how to build it if Meshiah comes before the designated time.
At the designated time Eliyohu Hanovi will not come.
Remember בעיתה אחישנה.You are correct we need Eliyohu Hanovi to tell us how to build it.
See the Sefer Aim Habonim Semaicho Perek 3 in great detail what comes first Messiah or the Building of the Bes Hamikdosh.
Also from the same author Rav Yisochor Teichtal in Mishneh Sochir in Parshes Beshalach מקדש ה כוננו ידיך in great detail discussing this topic.
