    We say משוך חסדך אל יודעך א-ל קנא ונוקם, the Chasan Sofer explains we ask Hashem to punish us through His chesed, favor. Let Hashem shower us with extra good and let us recognize that we don’t deserve it and turn us to teshuva and not require any punishments.

    When it comes to influence, a bad apple destroys the good and not the good apple makes the bad good.

    Who has the influence on whom? Will she have the influence on him or will he have the influence on her? Yaakov Avinu over here learned from his mother Rivkah and did not want to risk this marriage.

    Avira, I don’t think he had holy thoughts in his mind when according to the Targum Yonasan on הנה אנכי הולך למות, I will die and who cares what happens after that, he denied after life. He said what people wanted to hear but his heart was not in it.

    See what we wrote at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rosh-hashanah-contradictory. Yom Kippur we have a mitzva of eating Erev Yom Kippur to make up for the simcha of Kabolas Hatorah. When Yom Kippur falls on Shabbos, our fasting is an oneg shabbos as it provides a simcha of forgiveness.

    The reason that only Esav’s head ended up in Meoras Hapachpela as his heart was not in line with what he said.

    moish, good point, we daven for it by enunciating through the mouth. The Teshuva Meahava, Rav Eliezer Flekels a talmid of the Nodah Beyehudah, asks why would Eli think that Chanah was drunk if they davened like that by just moving the mouth and not being heard? He explains that that we don’t completely follow her as when we pray we should hear it but not others.

    The pruzbul was instituted by Hillel to avoid not wanting to lend when one cannot collect. To understand that the Beis Din can collect now but makes the lender their sheliach to collect.

    The Sefer Vaydaber Moshe uses this pasuk in a joking manner, how frightening (too small) is this place it must be a shul. It says אתם נצבים היום (Rosh Hashanah) כולכם in unity ‘לםני ה the gemora in Rosh Hashanah says that it indicates in Beis Hamikdash.

    We have two eyes. With one, we should look down to see our faults and with other look up to see the greatness of others. Korach, as Rashi says, his eyes fooled him. He did not use his eyes properly, he saw his own greatness and the lowness of others.

    Maybe both are true as it says with the mouth indicating learning where by the heart only one forgets and actions indicating teshuva where the mouth alone is not enough and the heart is also required.

    The Rabbenu Bachaya sasys that the center rules. The mouth should follow the heart and the actions should also follow it especially for teshuva.

    הלא אח עשו ליעקב, Esav acts like a brother to Yaakov by thinking he will change him, but Yaakov does not trust his fake brotherliness to go after him, so Hashem loves Yaakov but not Esav.

    The ahavah comes because of His greatness but now that very thing makes us repel Him. The closer we get, the further we get. That is the gemora’s kashye, how can we cleave to Him? So we are answered, to emulate His midos.

    Ahava generates yirah. Take אהבה and יראה, starting from יראה the first two letters give יראה and the last two letters give אהבה. So, they need each other both have an אה in common.

    According to the wikipedia on James Hewitt:

    Hewitt stated to the press in 2002 that Harry had already been born by the time of the affair, a statement also made by Diana’s police bodyguard.[23] He reiterated this in an interview in 2017.

    The Ben Ish Chai says that the name שד-י the Almighty is the name to fight the yetzer hara with as when each letter of יצר is written in full יוד, צדי and ריש the last letters add up to שד-י. When we recognize the Almighty, we realize that He gives us the strength and abilities to be able to fight the yetzer hara. It says in the parashas Ki Seitzei that if we fight the yetzer hara, ונתנו ה’ אלקיך בידך, Hashem will help us to capture him. The Chasam Sofer gives us a practical means to fight him. It says ושבית שביו grab a methodology from the yetzer hara. He sways us away from Hashem step wise in slow increments. He does not want for us to violate the greatest aveiros but starts from the smallest ones first. Similarly when correcting ourselves we should improve ourselves by fixing incrementally our smallest violations first. It says סור מרע ועשה טוב, turn away from bad and do good בקש שלום ורדפהו, look for peace and chase it, fight it, fight the peace that the yetzer hara is making. There is always a conflict between body and soul. What one wants, the other does not. But the yetzer hara makes peace by having the soul want what the body wants. We should disturb this peace and have the soul do something that the body does not like and continue doing it until we make peace by having the body get used to it. Continue this by improving ourselves constantly in small increments.

    The Chasam Sofer quotes Rav Nassan Adler who interprets the pasuk כי יתן איש אל רעהו כסף או כלים לשמור Hashem, who is called Ish, gives to His friend, to us money and utensils (eyes, ears and mouth includes also time) לשמור, to guard and use it properly וגונב מבית האיש, one still it away by not using it for the right purpose, אם ימצא הגנב ישלם שנים, if the burglar is found guilty, one must pay double כפלים one time for not listening to Hashem and twice for not letting Hashem do good אם לא ימצא הגנב, if one does teshuva from love so the violation is converted to benefits, ונקרב בעל הבית אל האלקים then the one will gets closer to Hashem provided אם לא שלח ידו במלאכת רעהו did not violate the laws of בין אדם לחברו of interaction of each other. This covers what we say at Kol Nidrei night in the Tefilas Zakai.

    The Ramban says in parshas Achrei on אשר יעשה האדם וחי בהם, what a person does to live by that one gets the reward according to the intention for one’s service. If done for the benefit of this world, so will the reward be. The goyim would get rewarded for their actions in this world.

    I will show with a knowledge of a little arithmetic (multiply and divide fractions) how we can get a good estimate from the Torah on the value of PI, the ratio between the diameter and circumference of a circle. The GRA uses the pasuk in Melachim (1,23) where there is a keri (the way read) קו and kesav, the way written קוה to estimate the value 3 x 111/106 = 333/106 = 3.141509 but PI is 3.1415926.. It was known long ago the fractional estimation to PI of 355/113 = 3.1415929 so let us see how we can arrive to this amount. Let us take the full word as written וקוה and read וקו. So take 3 x 117 / 112 = 351/112 adjusting the numerator by the number of letters 4 and the denominator by a kolel giving us our fraction of 355/113. We can do this as number of letters and a kolel as needed are usually added to a gematria.
