ujm, can you provide your source. The way I understand that Kastner was shot because of the first court’s ruling. The second ruling was in 1958 after he was dead already.
From Wikipedia:
The Supreme Court of Israel overturned most of the judgment against Kasztner in 1958. The judges overturned the first count by 3–2 and the second count by 5–0. The longest majority decision was written by Judge Shimon Agranat, who said:
During that period Kasztner was motivated by the sole motive of saving Hungary’s Jews as a whole, that is, the largest possible number under the circumstances of time and place as he estimated could be saved.
This motive fitted the moral duty of rescue to which he was subordinated as a leader of the Relief and Rescue Committee in Budapest.
Influenced by this motive he adopted the method of financial or economic negotiation with the Nazis.
Kasztner’s behavior stands the test of plausibility and reasonableness.
His behavior during his visit to Cluj (on May 3) and afterwards, both its active aspect (the plan of the “prominents”) and its passive aspect (withholding the “Auschwitz news” and lack of encouragement for acts of resistance and escape on a large scale)—is in line with his loyalty to the method which he considered, at all important times, to be the only chance of rescue.
Therefore, one cannot find a moral fault in his behavior, one cannot discover a causal connection between it and the easing of the concentration and deportation, one cannot see it as becoming a collaboration with the Nazis.[41]It should be above תשפ’ב – תהי’ שנת פדות בניו
ujm, Did you mean Adolf Eichman ym’s which proves my point that we get helped by our enemies?
Kasztner was no collaborator but negotiator.Each individual gets the wakeup call from one’s background and madrega, level of kedusha.
Sam Klein, I don’t agree, find the wakeup call from kedusha. תשפ’ב – תהי’ השנה הזאת פדות בניו
The Dubner Maggid has a mashel on the calculation of keitzim. A man got into the wagon with his son and another man to go to the market to Leipzig. As they got into the wagon, the son asked how much more we need to travel to Leipzig? The father got very upset at him, screaming, we just started our journey why are you asking me that? After traveling an hour or two, the man asked the same question, so he answered him another hour. So the son got somewhat upset saying, why did you scream at me but answered him? The father explained that when you asked was not time yet to ask. Now. we are in the akavte demeshicha, at the ending years towards Meshiach, it is appropriate to ask as we show our hope for his coming at its fixed time which was not before at the time of the gemora when it was felt that Meshiach will come unexpectedly (before the fixed time).
Menachem, I don’t agree what you are saying as the chizuk should come from the Torah. Our emunah must come from kedusha and not from from tuma. The means to arrive to emunah is as important as the result. If not done from kedusha, it will no last as כבלעו כך פלטו, the way one acquires one’s emunah, loses it. If acquired from kedusha, one will not lose it as the kedusha strengthens it.The Satmar Rav ztz’l was saved through Kaszner’s train, a zionist.
My mother a’h was saved through a German soldier. She was deported to Aushwitz. At 32 being able to work, Mengele ym’s sent her to the right but her sister (my father’s first wife and his 2 daughters) were sent to the left. Seeing that, my mother followed them by changing lanes. A German soldier twice pushed her back to the line on the right.
Ferdinand and Isabella at the Spanish Inquisition commissioned Columbus to discover America. The Jews were able to escape to Shanghai through the Japanese (part of the Axis) Sugihara. Those are what I consider nissim guliim, open miracles. Whenever we are being exiled, Hashem provides a makom hapleita, a place to escape to through our enemies. Moshe Rabbenu was saved by Bas Pharaoh, who grew up in the house of Pharaoh, and Esther saved us from the house of Achashverus. הקב’ה מצילנו מידם, Hashem saves us through our enemies.
Divrei Yoel on the Torah and Moadim, avoiding kabala and the grandfather Yismach Moshe.
Sam Klein, I will appreciate it when you rewrite the message using our months and years.
I call myself Reb teaching to give respect to the elderly done in Europe and not call one with their first name as the US custom.
This year February which was known as Lincoln’s Birthday was 65 years that I left Hungary when I was 9 years old. I was born on the day when the Belzer Rebbe Shlita was born.
It could be an issur of אלהים אחרים לא ישמע על פיך.
Menachem, I have a problem giving credence to this sources. It also says that tumah is opposite kedusha. The Satmar Rav ztz’l says that when Aharon Hakohen threw the gold into fire and the Eigel came out obviously it did not come from kedusha.
Why are gematrias and calculations made on goyishe dates? This whole OP is an issur. They don’t put goyishe dates on a matzeva (Maharam Shik). Everything is a coincidence. You are violating that Nissan
is the first month and calculation should be from creation and not from yeshu’s birth.Obviously maturity has changed. Rashi in the beginning Parashas Toldos says that Rivkah was 3 years old when Yitzchak married her. Even according to Tosfas she was 14 years old.
The Ksav Sofer needs some explanation what tragedy personally struck them? When Moshe Rabbenu was passing away, the Jews realized that life is temporary and even a tzadik does not live forever, so it reminded them of their day of demise. Therefore, it brought them to teshuva by willing to accept mussar more easily.
The Chasam Sofer explains why the 9th of Av was designated and not the 10th? It says ובאו בה פריצים וחיללה, when the blood shedders went inside, they made it mundane. Once they threw fire to the Beis Hamikdash from the outside, it became a house which was non-sacred any more that was burning making the beginning when they started the burning, the time to commemorate.
This last sefer about the galus is good for Tisha B’av.
Another sefer ענייני המקדש והגלות also available to download at https://hebrewbooks dot org/56997
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.
