Are you building the Beis Hamikdash which according to the Aim Habanim Semacha perek 3, is chiyuv before the coming of Meshiach as the Yerushalmi Maaser Sheni (5,2) quoted by the Tosfas Yom Tov there? The wall of fire will descend on the one we built.
If I cook for myself and wash my dishes, am I a female as my wife passed away 12 years ago?
Religious Jews now retired on social security have time to sit and learn like kinyan mesachta and/or oraysa.
By Kabolas Hatorah we were pressured to accept the Torah. It is known that we have the right intentions but the yetzer hara holds us back from bringing it to fruition. The Tiferes Yisrael on Perkei Avos (4,2) interprets our davenen והסר שטן מלפנינו ומאחרינו, when we want to do a mitzva, the yetzer hara stands in front of us but by an aveira, he stands behind us.
The Raavad sometimes used a very strong language against the Rambam in order not to idolize him.
President Johnson right after his retirement died.
He said esteemed that does not necessarily idolize him.
We also discuss Torah and Halacha.
The Rambam says that the Tenaim and Amaraim had an occupation like Rav Yachonon Hasandler, a shoe maker.
That is not confiscation but paying extra taxes.
It helps the economy and therefore people are mochel the theft.
The Rav Abarbanel and the Maasei Hashem says that they should not have publicized their findings as they were sent by Moshe Rabbenu, so they should have imparted it to him alone. There is an argument between Minchas Elozor, Munkatcher Rav and the Aim Habanim Semacha, Rav Teichtal, Hy’d if the redemption currently will come spontaneously or slowly by our contribution as ani rochev al chamor not being worthy of it similarly like there was the same argument at the time of the meraglim.
In our free economy, price is determined by supply and demand. If the price is high, supply is low.
לכאורה Maybe it is לך אורה, your light, your current understanding which can be Hebrew.
I think that lechoirah means, apparently.
The women make birchas hatorah, so the women are required to learn what applies to them.
Who says that you have to follow the liberal agenda? They provide help to the poor as a springboard to find a job and not like their opponents advocating ‘sink or swim’.
I did not mean you should publish a sefer but help someone who does. I think Rav Yair Hoffman at
YairHoffman2 @ gmail dot com is publishing a sefer.I, who was educated in a chasidishe yeshivas in yiddish, happen to like his shpiel which puts some yiddishkeit into english. Yiddish has become a dead forgotten language for our current and future generations.
According to the Rav Abarbanel and Maasei Hashem they should have not publicized their findings as they were responsible to Moshe Rabbenu sending them as it says shelach ‘lecha’. They also emphasized the negative by saying good but bad rather than saying bad but good. The Rav Malbim explains the difference between ויתורו and וירגלו. The original intention of Moshe Rabbenu was that each shevat should look at the positive qualities, what they like. This was the reason why each shevat was sent. However, they switched their mission looking for bad qualities, what they didn’t like. Moshe Rabbenu wanted them to realize that they need the help of Hashem and they cannot conquer EY by themselves because they are strong.
be malveh me your oznayim, lend me your ears. Are you quoting Marc Anthony? I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The climbing of the ladder as Yaakov Avinu saw the ladder stretching from earth to the heavens. The Ksav Sofer explains that it reflects the potential of a Jew. He can climb from the ground to the heavens and malachim originally are above him but later they end up below him. He should always keep in mind the question to Adam Harishon ayeko, where is he on the ladder? Sulom molei is gematria 136 kol, tzom and momon together 408, bezos yavo Aharon. These are the means to climb the ladder which are teshuva, tefila and tzadakah by which Yaakov Avinu prepared himself to fight Eisov. Tefila, milchama of the yetzer hara, and the present, tzadakah.
My Rebbe, the Mattersdorfer Rav, Rav Simcha Bunim Ehrenfeld ztz’l interpreted the expression נשיח בחקיך to speak, as you did, using expressions of Torah.
If one has a chiyuv, responsibility to pay anyhow, it cannot be redeemed through maaser money. Maybe contribute to publish a sefer where you will have a reward whenever it is used.
We had a situation some years ago where someone got lost in the winter without cell phone connection and froze to death.
It says יהללוך זר ולא פיך others should praise you and not yourself. They should realize from the behavior of the individual that he is gadol. One’s behavior should teach us halachas. שמעון הצדיק ‘הוא’ הי’ אומר Shimon the Pious said it with his being. Some interpret this pasuk that others should praise you and if not, yourself, praise yourself.
The one that matches for 14 years is yaakovdoe and would be trolling with himself.
There is two kinds of inflation, demand pull and cost push. Demand pull happens when supply does not catch up with the demand. Possibly, there is too much money in the hand of the people and the demand is greater than the supply, whereas cost push is where the expenses go up and they must be recovered by raising the price.
bob, can you please elaborate what you find wrong with my posts as I would like to correct them. If I offended you, I am sorry but your post is unclear. We all try to the best of our abilities honor each other. I believe that my purpose on this world is to pass on Torah.
The Chasam Sofer advises us how to do teshuva. It says bakesh shalom, look for peace veradfehu, and follow, go after it. The body and soul are constantly in conflict. One desires what the other does not. So let the neshama, soul do something small that the body might not like and continue until the body gets used to it, thereby creating peace between the two and then repeat this in small increments. Do not do this in big increments as you will get frustrated and fail.
It also says אין אדם רואה את נגעי עצמו, a person does not see their own faults as אדם קרוב אצל עצמו, a person is close to oneself.
It is true that the unknown is very bad but still let us pray to find him alive b’H.
I thought from the title to evaluate the difference between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Reagan, although I did not agree with all his policies, he was an honorable person whereas the latter is something to be desired.
It says כל הפוסל במומו פוסל, one who faults, faults with his own faults.
The above Haflaah in Panim Yafos says כי ראוי לשמוע אל השופט לפי הזמן ולפי הדור we should listen to the judge according to the times and generation כן מזמינים לו מן השמים like that it is assigned to him from the heavens.
There is indication on your screen name, bob hample1 that you are nearly a 20 year member. Your name shows being 7 months a member.
The Volozhin example above reminding us of the separation of church and state should be kept in mind.
The Haflaah explains הכהן אשר יהי’ בימים ההם – שמואל בדורו כיפתח בדורו, go to the leader for the current generation. Shmuel was the leader for his generation as Yiftach for his generation. We cannot compare generations. Every generation is provided a leader according to its requirements. When Chanoch separated himself from the people, he was taken away. He would only hurt them through comparison.
