I found another sefer עיר הקדש והמקדש from Yehiel Michel Tektzkinski available to download
at https://hebrewbooks dot org/14624I found a booklet entitled בנין בית המקדש בזמן הזה available to download
at https://hebrewbooks dot org/56873The above sefer Aim Habanim Samecha Perek 3 brings a sefer Ezras Kohanim on Meseches Midos 1 available to download at
https://hebrewbooks dot org/21475 and Ezras Kohanim 2-3 at https://hebrewbooks dot org/22639Menachem, look at reply #2111862 above and download the sefer. It describes everything in great detail.
What does it prove? If the Beis Hamikdash was already built by us, then Meshiach will not have to build it. So he does whatever else is necessary. If he has to build it he is Meshiach and maybe building is the one of fire.
The Aim Habanim Semacha holds that redemption will come slowly by putting our effort into it through going to EY and building the Beis Hamikdash and the one of fire will descend on what we build as the עני רוכב על חמור. However, the Minchas Elozor, the Munkacher, Rebbi of the above, holds that it will come spontaneously.
As it encourages giving, who cares what one’s intentions are as the gemora above about tzadaka.
I quoted you a sefer Aim Habanim Semecha, Rav Yisochor Teichtal, Hy’d available to download
at https://hebrewbooks dot org/53692 talking about going to EY to bring Meshiach. The Vayoel Moshe from Satmar Rav ztz’l argues on him.coffee addict, you just explained the Rashba above that we should publicize mitzva doers as people will learn from it. He brings proof from the Torah publicizing how Ruvain saved Yosef by throwing him into the pit. So even though it could be misinterpreted, the intention is honorable.
Even though that on Shiva Asar Betamuz the luchos were broken and on Tisha B’av it was decreed not being able to go to EY, we only remember the last thing which is joyful.
Menachem, look at the Aim Habanim Semacha Perek 3, who brings the Yerushalmi Perek 5 of Maaser Sheni mishna 2 and the Tosfas Yom Tov there paskening like Rebbi Yosi in the mishna quoting the Yerushalmi above. So first we must build the Beis Hamikdash and on top will come the one of fire. The Rambam might be talking if we don’t built it ourselves, then Meshiach will build it. There are two proofs two this. One in Shmonei Esrei, the bracha for building the Beis Hamikdash is before the coming of Meshiach. Two, the coming of the wall of fire which we daven in Nachem on Tisha B’ov says סביב לה, around it, around what? It will come around the one we build ourselves.
My the mishkan the willingness of the heart was a concern as Hashem has everything, so the only thing one gives is the heart. I heard once that Betzalel had to be lachashov machashovos, think thoughts. Why? To know where to place one’s contribution depending of the willingness of the heart. The RMA paskens that by Mishloach Manos, even though one does not want to accept it, is still yotzei. The Chasam Sofer explains that there the importance is the giving to show peace and unity by sharing one’s meal.
Avira, you mean to collect money for dowry.
By tzadakah the intention does not matter as the mitzva is to make sure the other has and not the giving. When one gives that his son should live long is considered a tzadik gamur, a true pious person.
There is a lot of good stuff on youtube as my son’s wedding searched by lipa macarena where lipa schmeltzer is singing Aishes Chayil to them. The kalever ztz’l singing Szol a kakas mar. People who are not here anymore live on in their performance.
The Chasam Sofer questions if the women are allowed to sing in shul for the honor of the King? He says that the honor is that they don’t sing to show the honor that the King does not ask things that are forbidden to them.
The Magen Avraham in the beginning of Hilchas Shabbos says that if fish is too expensive, one should boycott it to bring the down the price.
According the Yerushalmi Meshiach comes after the Beis Hamikdash was already rebuilt.
Trump knows to much so he will not be put to jail as they would need to put secret service man also in jail.
Menachem, I mentioned in the humor topic the interpretation of שלך אי אתה רואה you don’t see you own faults אבל אתה רואה but you see של אחרים ושל גבוה others faults and especially the holy. אין אדם רואה את נגעי עצמו, one does not see one’s own faults.
CS, should it not be a zorger? Zoger is to say. a bezoger is one who tells off.
There are two reasons for inflation, demand pull and cost push. Demand pull occurs when there is much money in the economy causing a higher demand than supply and thereby the demand pulls the price up. However, when costs go up the merchants will increase the price, push the price up to make up for their expense.
what is barzoger?
The name Av is also important to remember as a father who hits his child to make him better.
כאשר ייסר איש את בנו ה’ אלקיך מיסרך, the way a man hits his child, Hashem your God punishes you.Jackk, I think we need the Forward Party which is something in the middle where we get away from extremes on either side.
Repeating again:
The Rav Abarbanel and the Chasam Sofer say that משיח stands for the beginning letters of those whose talmidim in the gemora in Sanhadrin Perek Chelek consider Meshiach. מנחם, שלוה, ינון and חנינא.
The Chasan Sofer in his Sefer Avodas Hayom interprets what it says כל הסומך גאולה לתפילה של ערבית whoever realizes that the redemption at the time of night, darkness is only dependent on our tefila מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא can be sure that one gains the next world ואינו ניזק כל אותו היום and will not be harmed that day. The goyim anger us and harm us by questioning our beliefs, why Meshiach is not coming? Our betachen and emunah in his coming protects us. The Rabbenu Yonah in Brachas says something similar on והסר ממנו יגון טאנחה, take away from us the depression for Meshiach not coming.
It is the Yahr Zeit of the Chasan Sofer, the grandson of the Chasam Sofer, who passed on at age 48, encompassing the 48 kinyanim, means that the Torah is acquired, also the Yahr Zeit of Aharon the Kohen. In his short life he wrote commentaries on the Torah, Hagadah, Ovados Hayom, our daily service and Kinyanim, sugyos hashas like rov, kevuah etc, mussar and Shut in an organized fashion.
Also, keep in mind the words of the Chasam Sofer who interprets, כל המתאבל על ירושלים זוכה ורואה בשמחתה, by mourning for the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash we will experience and see its joy, as one shows that it is not forgotten and dead in one’s eyes.
We accomplish more with honey than with vinegar.
Let’s keep in mind the pasuk in Zecharyah (8,19):
כה אמר ה’ צב-אות צום הרביעי וצום החמישי וצום השביעי וצום העשירי יהיה לבית יהודה לששון ולשמחה ולמועדים טובים האמת
והשלום אהבו
All the fasts, 17th of Tamuz, 9th of Av, Tzom Gedalyah the 3rd of Tisri, 10th Teves will be converted to the Jews for joy and happiness and yomim tovim provided if truth and peace is loved. Taanis Esther is not mentioned as that shows the result of prayer, the taanis was designated later and this taanis is for happiness.Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote a book entitled The Double Income Trap. When two people are working they have nothing to fall back in case of financial emergency. The husband needs to gain better skills to make more money. Education needs to be cheaper. Housing is to expensive.
The GDP decrease was lower than last quarter.
Any radicalism is no good on either side.
Let’s also predict how terrible the Republicans will do.
It says הולך תמים ופועל צדק in the present and not in the past. The father lives on in his child so he continues on walking even after passing on. The Kol Aryeh explains מהלכים בין העומדים the walkers (humans) among the standers (malachim). What are the humans doing among the malachim? We are talking about humans in the after life who live on in their children and those that don’t. So it is worthwhile if the children become talmidei chachamim.
Menachem, sometimes people realize what they missed having and they have their children make up for it. How I ended up in the Wiener Yeshiva was not our doing but Hashem. When we arrived to New York after two weeks in Broadway Central Hotel on Bleeker Street (burned down afterwards), the Joint sent us to Crown Heights where we rented an apartment. We went to shul to Cong. Ksav Sofer, where the Rav, a grandson of the Chasam Sofer, was the principal of the Yeshiva. He convinced my father a’h to send me there. Going to Chasan Sofer afterwards was also not our doing. The Wiener Rav, Hadhauser, decreed that the one who does not come back to camp he does not want to see in the yeshiva anymore. I was not crazy about the camp, so I went to look for another yeshiva and ended up there on the East Side.
I consider myself a talmid chacham being a talmid mechacham by having great rebbies.
Rashi says that a tzadik ben tzadik is greater than tzadik ben rasha. A tzadik ben tzadik is harder to live up to. When a father is a talmid chacham, sometimes, it is harder for the son to reach the level of the father. So he does not reach it or gives it up altogether.
My father was a poshete yid like that who would sit everyday and said Tehilim. I heard a mashel from him which I said over at his hesped. A merchant travels on a ship oversees and takes along merchandise to sell. The ship encounters a storm wind and he gets thrown out to a desert island. Being depressed, he plays around with the sand and pebbles. After a while, a ship comes and he arrives home. He starts crying to his wife moaning how he lost everything and as he takes his handkerchief out to wipe his eyes, something falls out. They examine it and the wife screams out, do you know what this is? It is a diamond, a brilliant. So the man says, I must have collected it when I played around with the pebbles. If I would have known its value, how much more I would have been able to collect but I can’t go back there as I don’t know where it is.
After life when we are held to task what have we done this world, we start crying. When we take our handkerchief out, something falls out. As they examine it carefully, they notice that an Amen fell out. Do you have anymore of this which is so precious over here? If I would have known its value how much more I could have collected but I cannot go back anymore.I guess if one does not know where the sheluach hakein will turn up should be alright to arrange it.
AAQ. the burning of the Reichstag was done by the Germans to blame the Communists.
We are discussing a general tendency and not anything in particular, so I don’t think it is lashon hara. If one knows the reason, can improve on it.
They answer by Chanukah on the Beis Yosef question, why we light eight days as the first day was enough oil to light, so there was no neis? Some oil is left in the pitcher when emptying out. Similarly, the father cannot pass over his knowledge completely to his son.
Shemitah is related to Shabbos according to the Yismach Moshe. In 7 years there are exactly 365 Shabbosim, adding up to a year. 7 X 52 = 364 and one left every year giving another Shabbos totaling 365 days. We rest the earth for one year to make up for the earth not resting in 7 years.
Some say that Hashem created things with the words of His mouth, so we should be careful what we say on Shabbos as the mishna 4th Perek in Demai says that we trust people on Shabbos as they don’t lie.
CS, are you describing yourself?
Some happen to appreciate Jackk’s news summary.
The Rav Malbim says that the mabul created a chemical change so the carbon test does not work as things are older than they seem. According to this that a day of creation might not have been 24 hours we understand why the goyim think that the world is billions of years old.
