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.
There is a story that they want to be matir, an aguna from a kashye, so they said in yiddish, fon a kashye shtarbtman nisht, from a question one does not die. This became a general answer on questions.
Increasing interest rates might increase costs which might create more inflation. Somehow we should increase supply.
To get kosher daily food distribution in NYC call 311.
Trump is being investigated by the DOJ (Department of Justice).
Check Bikur Cholim in your area.
I found a website which might be useful see marbitz dot com/gemara-game/ which teaches the expressions of the gemara as gemara tutor.
The 4 hours given up by each of the 6 days adds up to 24 hours for Shabbos. So Shabbos was also created in the 6 days but given up and created before the world was created.
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.
Was the person educated in the halachas of Shabbos?
You get more with honey than vinegar.
According to Einstein we can explain that the nothing that the world was created from was energy. If matter can be converted to energy then energy could be converted to matter.
There is a koach, potential and poal, action. The koach of Meshiach is here but we must bring him in poal. Tosfas explains the argument if the redemption was in Nissan or Tishri. Nissan in koach and Tishri in action.
If the world was created in six days when was Shabbos created? I saw somewhere that each day was created originally 28 hours and each day gave up 4 hours to form Shabbos.
What about John Kasich?
If we figure Meshiach is already here, we might further him away by not doing anything to bring him. Sinas Chinom will not stop. היום אם בקולו תשמעו, he can come today when we listen to Hashem.
If we don’t realize that we are in galus and do something about it, we will be kept there.
The Kli Yakar might be implied by the Chasan Sofer, the grandson of the Chasam Sofer, who was niftar at 48 on the Yahr Zeit of Aharon HaKohen this coming Friday, Rosh Chodesh Av. He says that the letter ‘nun’ reflects the idea by being narrow above, not be satisfied but wide at the bottom, being happy and satisfied. By the Misonnim, when they desired extras, the nun was reversed as the Torah indicates.
When noflim, one has fallen, if spiritual, don’t get depressed but look at where one can improve oneself and when lack of material things, don’t despair but be satisfied as סומך ה’ את כל הנופלים, Hashem supports all the fallen.ubi, you missed the point. I have only a problem if the sun orbits around the earth being stationary in the center.
AAQ and ujm, I asked a question and I did not get an answer. According to Newton and Ptolemy’s view as every heavenly body has a gravitational pull based on its size, so why does not the enormous gravitational pull of the sun dislodge the earth from being stationary in the center?
If you get a compliment and not worthy of it, thank them and for spiritual things, try to live up to it. Keep the words of the Kli Yakar in mind בשמים ממעל, when it comes to heavenly, spiritual things, look at people above you, from whom to learn from and ועל הארץ מתחת but when it comes to earthly, material things, then look at people being below you, who have less than you in order to be satisfied and happy.
What about Mitt Romney who recognized that Russia was the real enemy?
The gemora is complicated in order to be lefi tzareh agre, the reward is based on the effort as it has a greater value. If the earth would be flat than night and day would be the same both sides of the international date line.
She is more lenient in same-sex-marriage by changing her mind saying that she loves her sister at a Sunday CNN interview.
אביי stands for the beginning letters of אשר בך ירוחם יתום, where an orphan finds mercy in You.
If we can understand something the simple way, even if the truth is the complicated way, we can use the simple way for our understanding than having to use those concentric circles.
Why would Hashem create something complicated when it can be made simple?
Don’t forget that Rosh Chodesh was given to the women.
How can a bigger body revolve around the smaller body and not pull it towards itself? From the Torah is no proof, as dibra Torah kalashan bnei adam as people see it and where does Einstein say that?
The same idea might be implied in ‘קויתי ה, hope to Hashem brings to קותה נפשי, another hope from my soul to Hashem.
