Reb EliezerParticipant
Rosh Hashanah might be called by Yom Teruah, a day of unity as utruas melech bo meaning reus, friendship.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Haflaah in Panim Yafos says on our Parasha Nitzavim, ובחרת בחיים to choose life, emphasize always the positive which leads to love.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf declassified, it should be indicated on the document. Trumah should also be marked that one should not stumble.
Reb EliezerParticipantyehudi, you should have looked at my words clearly that I indicated when in comes human beings excluding towards Hashem who knows what you are thinking.
Reb EliezerParticipantDeclassification is done for everyone.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantThe price I quoted includes shipping and handling.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou can buy Kirkland Signature Men’s Traditional Fit Dress Shirt – Exact Sleeve Length online at costco dot com but if not a member the price is 5% extra – $26.24.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe price is $24.99 at Costco.
Reb EliezerParticipantDoes MBS of Saudi Arabia have the power?
Reb EliezerParticipantהלא 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantI don’t know, if the Prime Minister and Parliament do not concur to the king’s declaring war, is valid.
Reb EliezerParticipantAhava 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, I don’t understand that as when you love Hashem it is because of His goodness. You want to emulate Him and thereby being afraid not do anything where that love will be extinguished.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, this king is a figure head without any power of life and death, so that halacha does not apply.
Reb EliezerParticipantAccording 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipant@26 chap that it was proven that your views are not considered relevant.
Reb EliezerParticipantAshaming people in public is more common.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says רוב גנבי ישראל but retzicha on purpose is very uncommon by the Jews, so maybe it was not necessary.
Reb EliezerParticipantI still don’t understand what changed. Did the yeshiva change or the court ruling?
Reb EliezerParticipantDY, The communication skills of some individuals are revealed in this CR forum.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf one wants to know where is the Kli Yakar, it is in Parashas Chukas with start ומזה מי הנדה הנדה יכבס בגדיו, one spraying the water of the parah adumah should wash his clothes, why?
Reb EliezerParticipantIt is also necessary for most jobs, so it is useful. The problem is that after all the time one spends in school now one has to do homework so, not much time of leisure.
Reb EliezerParticipantI am on topic showing it is useful.
Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rambam explains in Shemono Perakim that one gets sick when the natural equilibrium is upset. To get healed one must restore it.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rash, Rav Shimshan Mishantz, Kilaim (5,5) in the name of chachmei hamidos quotes the Pythagorean Theorem.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Kli Yakar uses the physical law that opposites react to explain the parah adumah. Why is it both tahor, pure and tamei, impure? This problem occurs if the parah adumah is made up of one entity. So he explains that parah adumah is comprised of two entities, water and earth. The water is tahor and the earth is tamei. When we place it on a tamei person, then the earth of the parah adumah has no reaction but the water does and makes him tahor. However, when placed on a tahor person, then the water has no reaction but the earth does, so it makes him tamei. The question is why didn’t Shlomo Hamelech, who was smarter than anyone, think of it? Maybe the mix of water being tahor with the tamei earth is a problem why it stays tahor?
Reb EliezerParticipantEinstein’s theory of relativity explains how Hashem created something from nothing (energy). String Theory gives us more insight into creation. Science explains the meaning of עולם כמנהגו נוהג, the world behaves in natural fashion. Mathematics explains the expression that 1 in the length is 1 2/5 in the diagonal being the the square root of 2 by the Pythagorean Theorem derived through algebra with the help of geometry. Chemistry explains the unity of a tzibur.
Reb EliezerParticipantAgain, למודי חול can be used to understand Torah as I showed that a law in economics helps to understand a mishna in Bava Metzia, הזהב קונה את הכסף. So why is gold a commodity and silver the currency? People don’t want to spend the more valuable but hoard it. Gresham’s Law states that, the bad currency (silver) drives the good currency (gold) out of circulation.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou can learn the available knowledge in his time, the 18 hundreds in the Sefer Habris to download at https://hebrewbooks dot org/43670
and translated to yiddish at https://hebrewbooks dot org/51059 also the Rambam Hilchas Kiddush Hachodash (17, 24)Reb EliezerParticipantI, in 1968 worked at Chemical Bank wearing a yarmulka.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy understanding is, that at the time he personally did not require someone to learn secular studies. However, if one does, he better not waste his time because that is bitul Torah but as it is necessary and one applies himself, it is not bitul Torah.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe above is the clubs argument:
The club argued that Yeshiva’s plea to the Supreme Court was premature, also noting the university already has recognized a gay pride club at its law school.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen we give something on behalf of something else than the second thing for which the first thing is given is more beloved than the first. We bring bikurim to show that Hashem is more beloved than the first fruits, which is much loved as the first dollar earned, is being sacrificed in His name by our recognizing all He has given to us. This is also the reason that we show recognition at the Hagaddah for Hashem taking us out from Mitzraim by saying the same pesukim.
Reb EliezerParticipantTrump went to the Wharton School of the University of PA with a BS in economics.
Reb EliezerParticipantYes, to the OP question. I heard from my Rebbi, the Hadhauser Wiener Rav in elementary school that if one goes to learn secular studies and does not listen, put his mind to it to do well on a test is bitul Torah.
Reb EliezerParticipantPrice varies by size.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou cannot allow the club for the law school but not for the yeshiva.
September 15, 2022 5:56 pm at 5:56 pm in reply to: Eliminating secular subjects from yeshiva curriculum #2125119Reb EliezerParticipantI received a high school academic degree from Yeshiva Chasan Sofer after passing the Regents in 1966.
Reb EliezerParticipantThat course above is taught by a woman dressed in a pant suit with an open neck.
September 15, 2022 7:45 am at 7:45 am in reply to: The Bringing of Meshiach through Sheliach Hakein #2124758Reb EliezerParticipantSo Sheliach Hakein reminds us to also do the other things dependent on speech that will bring Meshiach, believe in Hashem and trust Him, daven for his coming and learn Mishnayus.
September 14, 2022 11:32 am at 11:32 am in reply to: Sukkah – Olam Haboh, Working Towards the Next World to Come #2124489Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, try to avoid run on sentences as it is hard to understand.
September 14, 2022 9:07 am at 9:07 am in reply to: The Bringing of Meshiach through Sheliach Hakein #2124466Reb EliezerParticipantIf you want the children, the mother should not see how the children are taken away from her. We are not allowed to pray, Hashem have mercy on me as you have mercy even on a bird. The Chinuch explains in order not to compare our mercy with Hashem’s whose mercy comes from understanding and not from emotion.
Reb EliezerParticipantKirkland from Costco
Reb EliezerParticipantNo, not for that price.
