Reb Eliezer

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 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.

My wife passed away 12 years ago. She was very smart but after her heart stopped for 4 minutes, she was revived, became childlike and needed a walker. She passed away five years after that when she had afib (atrial fibrillation) and could not be revived again.

When you believe that you are right like Korach and Zimri over here, you will never do teshuva,

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.

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.

Even though the above is very interesting, the problem is that when one sees the above with its length, will possibly be turned off from reading it, so I encourage people to read it.

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.

correct the last post, where, there korban, should be, their korban

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.

The Targum Yanoson says that Shemini Atzeres we are happy to go back to the house from the sukkah. How can we be happy? I heard from Rav Moshe Meir Weiss Shlita that if sukkah commemorates being in the desert then the house represents EY, so we are happy for getting into EY. Maybe, the sukkah, in the beginning of the year, is a lesson how to behave the whole year as the ishpizun reflect, so Shemini Atzeres will be graduation day where we have learned to realize that Hashem provides everything and we can live in less comfort and be satisfied with what He is giving us.

coffee addict your quote is very important, so I will translate it.
Whoever is merciful when should be cruel, the end will be, that one will be cruel when should be merciful.

It says by ihr hanidachas ונתן לך רחמים, Hashem will give you mercy, and the GRA explains that we might get used to cruelty (which here is required), so we get blessed to be merciful. So don’t worry to apply cruelty like your case where necessary. It says ובערת הרע מקרבך, we have a responsibility to eliminate the bad in order others should not learn from it and he should not repeat his bad deeds.

Now there is the computer field training to pursue through PCS of the Agudah for bright people as I did.

A period at an end of sentence is breather. In the gemora we can brake it down to phrases by recognizing expressions through the idioms of the gemora.

Moish26, criticizing is easy. I happen to want to know about gedolim passing on which might wake us up to do teshuva. They are quoting verbatim the AP news which a person here can decide to read or not to read.

Menachem, thank you for your nice words. According to the Binah Leitim, who translates איזהו גבור השמח בחלקו, who is a real hero who enjoys his lot, by sharing his wealth and knowledge as our purpose in life to share. it says אם למדת תורה הרבה, if you learned much Torah אל תחזיק טובה לעצמך don’t feel good about it כי לכך נוצרך as you well created for the purpose to pass it on to others. Maybe this is the meaning in what it says הלומד תורה שלא לשמה one who learns Torah for his own purpose מוטב לו שלא נברא it would have been better not being created as he is not fulfilling the purpose of his creation.

It says מרבה נכסים מרבה דאגה, increased wealth creates increased worry, how to invest it and not to lose it. They don’t see that money is the root of all evil.

It says לעושה גדולות נפלאות לבדו כי לעולם חסדו, Hashem does great wonders on His own, which is His eternal favor. Why on His own? I heard pshat with a mashel, where someone dug a hole at night outside on the street which obviously is dangerous being a bor bereshus harabim. The workers came at night and fixed it. When one woke up, did not know about the danger. Similarly, sometimes we don’t even know the miracles Hashem does to us. The YWN publicizes it to be able to thank Hashem Yisbarach. This might be the purpose of YWN.

They say that David Hamelech, who knew he will pass on shabbos, made a melava demalka to thank Hashem that he is still alive.

We do the best we can as the alternative is worst and there is a need for it. I sprinkle it with words of Torah.

The brothers told the people of Shechem to circumcise themselves. Why? I heard from Rebbi Yonasan Eubshutz, once they are gemalelt no one cares.
Why didn’t Dinah bow down infront of Yosef? The mother in law does not bow down infront of her son in law.

Name, במחילת כבוד תורתו all the gedolim who found humor in the Torah were all wrong but only you are right and name is necessary. I have rachmonus on you for missing a nice part of the Torah interpreting things in a double entendre provided it is not kefira.
Rashi says גם נח מקטני אמונה היה, מאמין ואינו מאמין שיבא המבול Noach was also from the low believers as he believed and not believed that the flood will come. What about interpreting it for praise. It matters where the comma is placed. גם נח מקטני אמונה היה מאמין, ואינו מאמין שיבא המבול. In this case Noach had trust in the low believers that they will do teshuva and therefore did not believe that the flood will come. This idea we find on ויגברו המים that the rain came originally lightly and then it increased.
