Reb EliezerParticipant
The 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.
September 13, 2022 10:34 pm at 10:34 pm in reply to: The Bringing of Meshiach through Sheliach Hakein #2124311Reb EliezerParticipantIf one shames you, don’t shame them back but tell nicely that you don’t realize what you did.
Reb EliezerParticipantMidos alert to whom, the one who was hurt or the one who hurt the other? Should the one who was hurt sit by and allow the other to hurt him thereby not realizing that something wrong was done and continue doing it in the future?
September 13, 2022 10:22 pm at 10:22 pm in reply to: The Bringing of Meshiach through Sheliach Hakein #2124304Reb EliezerParticipantAccording to the Beis Elokim we need most should daven for Meshiach. Similarly maybe one doing the mitzva might not bring it.
Reb EliezerParticipantMoish26, you are insulting me considering that I put ch’v Torah in a garbage can but at least you say lichoira. If I do it as most do, it is because I don’t agree with you. We have shown and proven that if you don’t see and know the women you are talking to, is not a problem.
September 13, 2022 2:49 pm at 2:49 pm in reply to: The Bringing of Meshiach through Sheliach Hakein #2124110Reb EliezerParticipantI just indicated the similarities (being unplanned, written with an aleph instead of a heh and the mother looking for her children) of this mitzva and Meshiach. Caring for the species not dying out or showing mercy for the child birds, would indicate to have children or building a house to have children. However, looking for children indicates that we create a symbolism showing our aspiration for the mother (Hashem) to look for his children as the holy Zohar gives us hope that it will be fulfilled, midah kaneged midah, being inclusive in long life. Honoring parents where it promises long life also, might be as the Rav Abarbanel explains that when your children will see that you honor your parents, they will honor you accordingly providing you a good long life. This can be demonstrated with a story. There was a grandfather, father and son. The father would feed the grandfather in a wooden plate. When the grandfather passed on, the father wanted to get rid of the plate, so the son said, father don’t throw it out as we need it for you.
September 13, 2022 1:16 pm at 1:16 pm in reply to: The Bringing of Meshiach through Sheliach Hakein #2124048Reb EliezerParticipantWhy will Meshiach come unplanned? Maybe, the Maharal explains the statement that if one repeats something from someone’s name will bring the redemption on the world. Why? Hashem wants us to recognize His deed to give credit where credit is due. When this individual does that, Hashem can be the geulah. When Meshiach will come unplanned, spontaneously, the miracle of his coming will be more recognized and appreciated than when one is planning for it.

September 13, 2022 12:30 pm at 12:30 pm in reply to: The Bringing of Meshiach through Sheliach Hakein #2124043Reb EliezerParticipantIt is unplanned as the coming of Meshiach will come behesach hadaas, unplanned.
Reb EliezerParticipantHow can the rabonon eliminate a get? It’s based on the fact the kedushin is invalidated from the beginning which needs a good reason and not wanting to accept a get is not sufficient.
Reb EliezerParticipantbump
Reb EliezerParticipantmods, sometimes we notice that we made grammatical or spelling mistakes and would want to edit it but edit is not available.
Agreed. We were having problems with severely inappropriate screen names being visible while waiting for approval on posts and had to deny visibility. This unfortunately prevents edits. The only two options is to catch the edit button on your post for the first 10 or so minutes after it is approved, or to do as you have been doing, to post your corrections and when possible we fix it for you.
Reb EliezerParticipantGiven by a woman, there is a VIDEO course at ‘the great courses’ website called Write about Anything available to download or on a DVD.
Reb EliezerParticipantbump
Reb EliezerParticipantYou might be biased as you know what you want to tell us. Get someone else as an editor to read it first before posting it to see if they understand what you mean.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou might want to get something like Random House Webster’s Pocket Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation: Second Edition (Pocket Reference Guides) 2nd ed. Edition available at Amazon.
Reb EliezerParticipantLipa danced with my son the macarena and sang Aishes Chayil to them at his wedding 12 years ago
still available on youtube.Reb EliezerParticipantI applaud and commend the person Don’tMIndMe who worked on it to be able to understand it.
Reb EliezerParticipantDon’t forget the Consort part of the title.
Reb EliezerParticipantDon’tMindMe, I think we should mind you as you gave a very good translation to what his letter is trying to convey.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf you cannot convey, pass on your ideas what is the use of posting?
September 12, 2022 10:18 am at 10:18 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Shoftim – Hybrid Power: #2123572Reb EliezerParticipantThe Rambam teaches us the importance of the derech emtzai, the middle way, a hybrid derech in hashkafa by avoiding extremes.
Reb EliezerParticipantOP, try to make it short to the point as we don’t understand what you are saying. Are you sitting and learning or are you working?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe problem is that to keep up with the Johnses by imitating them, even though they can’t afford making these elaborate parties, end up getting themselves into debt.
Reb EliezerParticipantFor a Bas Mitzva there is a three sided argument. the Seridei Aish considers it a requirement that the girls should not feel left out. Reb Moishe Feinstein ztz’l says that it should not be done in a shul as it is voluntary like any other birthday party. The Debretziner Rav, Rav Moshe Stern ztz’l held that it is a reform custom and one should not attend when invited. I made it but only for the women.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Magen Avraham O’CH 225 s’k 4 says that we should make a sudah, a party on the day after his Bar Mitzva like a wedding in order to celebrate it by make it known to the public that he became responsible to do mitzvos. He quotes from the Yam Shel Shlomo (Maharshal) in Bava Kama that if he gives a speech in Torah, it does not have to be done that day it is a sudas mitzva.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere was an argument whether the religious Jews should join the knesses. They brought proof to join from a Chasam Sofer as explained by the Maharam Shik. Why did Amrom divorce his wife Yocheved?
He figured that if he has no children, the guf (container of the nesshumas) will be exhausted and Meshiach will come and no more boys will be thrown into the Nile. So Miriam told him that the reshaim will not follow you, the guf will not be used up and we end up giving birth to reshaim. Similarly if the religious don’t join the knesses, the chilonim will do what they want without the religious having any say in government affairs, so it is better for them to join.September 11, 2022 1:33 pm at 1:33 pm in reply to: The coffee room is ussor and I’m trying to make sure people chap #2123356Reb EliezerParticipantCS, they say, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.
September 11, 2022 12:43 pm at 12:43 pm in reply to: The coffee room is ussor and I’m trying to make sure people chap #2123334Reb EliezerParticipantMoish, you should feel good that people care about you and not show retribution. I don’t know why they care? You can stay on as you create a dislike for yourself.
September 11, 2022 11:49 am at 11:49 am in reply to: The coffee room is ussor and I’m trying to make sure people chap #2123318Reb EliezerParticipantMoish, see also https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/hi-everyone-do-you-guys-remember-me. The poster left and returned four years later.
