    Increasing interest rates might increase costs which might create more inflation. Somehow we should increase supply.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We say לישועתך קויתי כל היום, I hope for your help. The Pelei Yoetz explains that this refers to the help of Hashem Himself as the shechina is also in galus, עמו אנכי בצרה, Hashem is with us in galus. The Arvei Nachal says המתפלל בעד אחרים, whoever prays for the wellbeing of others, including Hashem, הוא נענה תחלה, will be answered first, as in galus we also need help.

    We say קוה אל ה’ חזק ויאמץ לבנו, when we have hope to Hashem, that generates the strengthening of our heart. So this creates a cycle of another ‘קוה אל ה and so on ad infinitum.

    We say in ani mamin for Meshiach, אף על פי שיתמהמה, even though it is being late, עם כל זה אחכה לו בכל יום שיבא, I still hope everyday he will come. There are certain days that he does not come, so how can you hope everyday he will come? It does not say that he will come that day but come. We see the importance of this hope as even though we don’t know when he will come, we still live from this hope in galus.

    The Shevat Sofer interprets the pasuk אעשה לו עזר כנגדו when she is voicing an opposite view, she becomes a help. He can see the other side of an argument and does not get lost in tunnel vision by seeing one side only. The Midrash Shmuel explains that the Beis Shamai helped the Beis Hilel come to the truth by revealing to them the other side of an argument. Therefore they become also praise worthy and we will pasken like them leasid lavo, at the time of Meshiach.

    GefilteFish very well expressed what I alluded to above. For the Beis Din דברים שבלב אינן דברים does not care what one is thinking as they don’t know. We see this from Tzalafchad who really did not deserve to die as it was a chilul shabbos to protect shabbos, a negative work by not requiring the fruits of his labor rather teaching people the punishment for it but once admonished we don’t care what his intentions were.

    Maybe this is implied in the pasuk סור מרע ועשה טוב turn away from bad when doing good בקש שלום ורדפהו when one searches for peace, the same time one should avoid fake peace. The yetzer hara wants us to make peace between the body and soul and stay steady and not improve oneself but follow the desires of the body. So we say that we should resist him by creating small conflicts where the neshama does something that the body does not like until the body gets used to it and then repeat it. The Chasam Sofer says a little different that creating peace between body and soul is part of the good after the conflict getting used to it and slowly repeating the process.

    I was talking about mass murder as the OP and not killed that is currently mostly through an assault weapon. If murder is committed through other means, than obviously both are responsible but dibra hakasuv behove, we are speaking of the most current common means of mass murder. One murdering by oneself is responsible alone.

    abukspan, תפסת מרובה לא תפסת, people might not read this. I will summarize, even though we should pursue peace ,אוהב שלום, love peace, the Chasam Sofer says that sometimes as the reform movement, we must be a רודף שלום, against peace as Pinchas did. אין עצה אין תבונה נגד השם, there is no advice and no understanding when something is against Hashem. We must stand up and fight when Torah is threatened. חדש אסור מן התורה בכל מקום ובכל זמן, the new is forbidden everywhere and all the time.

    The body is judged together with the neshama as the two people, one blind one lame, who picked fruit off a tree, the blind holding the lame on his shoulders. No one by themselves could commit the crime. The murderer and the gun are together responsible as this parable. Guns don’t kill, people do, but maybe people don’t kill, guns do.

    On Shmini Atzeres, Hashem says to the Jews make me a small meal to spend time with you. The Binah Leitim explains that when there is a big meal, people are busy with the food and practically there is no communication and comradery, friendship shown to each other. However, by a small meal, people find time to communicate with each other which generates friendship and love. For the goyim we sacrifice many oxen, so kavayachel, Hashem is busy consuming their korban rather than spending time with them. It gets diminished each day as the more I get, the less I like it and the goyim sacrificing it. However, we the Jews sacrifice a small korban because Hashem wants to spend time with us to show his friendship and love.
