Without any question seeing the rebbi even a teacher.
Look at the Meshech Chachma in Parashas Bechukosai on Veaf Gam Zos to understand the galus.
The above demonstrates the hashgacha pratis, an individual being controlled through Hashem, influenced from outside sources out of one’s control.
CTLAWYER, as you don’t call yourself a nouveau riche, did you inherit your wealth?
When I went to Brooklyn College 4 years after graduating high school, I kept Haran in mind. When we go into fire because someone else was saved, one can get burned, so I did not go anywhere like the Student Center there which was not necessary.
It will be on July 9th 63 years I am here in America after emigrating from Hungary. We davened in Crown Heights in the Beis Hamidrash Ksav Sofer of Rav Strasser ztz’l who was the menahel, principal of the Wiener Yeshiva in Williamsburg who encouraged my father to send me there. Going to the Wiener Camp was required. The Hadhauser ztz’l, Wiener Rav said that if one who does not come back to camp, should not come back to the mesivta. Not being happy with the camp, I left and switched to Yeshiva Chasan Sofer. When I went to NYU in Mathematics, I saw an ad looking for a Senior Research Aid in computer programming at Brooklyn College from where I received a BS degree, so I got a job there. A plumber working by us and by my wife’s a’h house, brought us together. My wife’s cousin decided to buy a house in S.I. so she asked us to buy the companion house there which got us to move there. Having a problem having children, we converted and adopted, through intermediaries, a son from Columbia and a daughter born in Maimonides to a Non-Jew. They are 38 and almost 36 respectively married with children 3, two girls and a boy and 2, a boy and a girl respectively.
והיו עיניך רואות את מוריך you should see your teacher or rebbi.
I asked the above question from Rav Shafran, as Korach argued that everyone is holy, so what makes him better than anyone else? He told me that when one has self interest they will not argue logically.
It fell into my hand and I remembered the above Binah Leitim on במקום שאין איש.
The Binah Leitim explains the pasukim where Moshe Rabbenu goes outside and sees where an Egyptian is beating a Jew from his brethren meaning that he was not alone there. He looks around whether they will stand up to protect him and sees there is no one answering his need for help, so Moshe Rabbenu used his mouth and killed him.
The Beis Elokim, Shar Hatefila 17 says that tefila is cumulative. Less tefila is required when we reach the expected time of the coming of Meshiach. Most people must want his coming. The Ksav Sofer quoted by the Mayanei Shel Torah explains the pasuk הנסתרות לה’ אלקינו, והנגלות לנו ולבנינו. There are two times when Meshiach can come בעתה אחשנה, the fixed time and the early time. The fixed time is hidden to us and we have no control over but the early time is in our hands to accelerate it depends on us לעשות את דברי התורה הזאת by keeping the mitzvos of the Torah and praying for his coming. When the fixed time comes, if we are not worthy, a melech kashe kehaman has to come to force us to teshuva which is from fear, so we still need teshuva before hand that is the greatness that it brings the geulah but before the time teshuva from love will accelerate his coming. So in either case we should do teshuva from love and Meshiach will come because his time to come is here or we are accelerating his coming.
AAQ, your logic by me does not follow because my father married after liberation the sister of his first wife whom he lost in Aushwitz with two children, so he was only able to marry her because of his loss. The basherte came later. Are you saying that they had to die anyway to be able to marry her?
coffee addict, he made a mistake in his spelling and you are making fun of it. The answer is yes.
yaakovdoe, is it chalav akum or chalav stam?
coffee addict, I think it is funny but not on the other’s plaitzes, shoulders.
What are you saying, isn’t the opposite true, most of the Jews not alive today would have ended up existing?
Maybe one of your personalities wants to follow the Torah and the other does not. One wants to satisfy the body the other the soul. The Chasam Sofer advises us how to resolve this. 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.
WWI contributed to WWII, Germany and Hungary wanting to get back the territory lost and reparations to pay. They attributed it to the Communists and Jews. See Treaty of Versailles and Treaty of Trianon.

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.
