We experience the same things and should behave differently learning from the first instance. Hitler ym’s did not learn from Napoleon being frozen out in Russia.
The answer to above is yes to both questions.
Can an itar yad write a sefer Torah with his left hand and would that be assur on Shabbos?
AAQ, if we can read the luchas across, there were two luchos attached מצומדים and not two single luchos.
There is an inyan of מעלין בקדש, elevating in kedusha which contradicts, so the shem, once they are both put one, are נקראים כאחד, read together.
AAQ, look at the Yabia Omer YD (7,17) about this shaila, if going to work or sit in kolel in great detail.
He refences the Rashbatz (1,142 and on) who questions the Rambam.
I would say to test the potential abilities ahead of time to decide.When Moshe Rabbenu dropped the luchos there is a read and written word, read as וישלך מידיו, both hands but written מידו, one hand. Maybe, the Yerushalmi says that the letters made the luchas light to carry. So he was able to carry it with one hand but when they flew off, Moshe Rabbenu had to hold on with both hands and was unable to hold it and dropped it. This seems to disagree with the Babli being praised that he dropped it but according to the above he had no choice.
AAQ, you are saying what the Rambam says on learning and relying on others.
Moshe Rabbenu wrote the Torah which should be written with the right hand.
The baby is brought by stork.
משנה and נשמה have the same letters. Specially learning the last 4 mishnayus in the seventh perek of Oholos which begin with those letters.
The malach told Yosef נסעו מזה – מן האחוה. the brothers moved away from brotherliness, where do we see that? It says by the מזה ומזה הם כתובים, they were written such that we can read it across as twins.
שמא עברו על מזה מזה הם כתובים Mordechai was questioning that maybe the punishment was because they violated loving each other as brothers.The designation for commemoration should never have been made for Nissan as we don’t say E-l Male Rachamim in Nissan.
Is truth absolute or is truth relative?
Should be above what comes after אך?
Since working is only a hishtadlus, therefore one who carries on himself the yoke of Torah is taken away the yoke of derech eretz (work).
The Yabia Omer says a cute pshat on the above. What comes before the inclusion (ribbu) גם? The letters לב and what comes before the exclusion (miut) אך? Also the letters לב. So either case the heart is the more important.
I heard from my rebbi, Rav Shmuel ztz’l, the Matersdorfer Rav interpreting the above pasuk, when we make time for G-d by procrastinating and saying, I still have time to do a mitzva for Hashem, the end will be that it won’t get done.
It says עת לעשות לה’ הפרו תורתך and some say ‘הפרו תורתך עת לעשות לה. There are two views when people are lax with mitzvos, one, to try to accommodate and two, to stay steadfast and not budge an inch. When the Torah is being disrupted, than there is an opportunity to make time for G-d and not allow any violations.
The Satmar Rav ztz’l says that if someone kisses a Sefer Torah and does not believe in Hashem, makes the Sefer Torah an a’z, so Israel would become an a’z.

The importance is of Parahas Hamon is to realize that whatever one collected, by going out to collect and Friday a double portion, did not increase the amount one had. Working is just a hishtadlus.
The gemora Pesachim 42, tells a story about a Rav Masneh who darshened, get מים שלנו to bake matzah. Everyone came to him for water, thinking that he meant our water rather than water resting overnight. What is the point of the story? It teaches us the great emunas chachamim at that time where no one said, what makes your water better than ours but trusted him fully.
The Chasam Sofer says that by the Akedah the test of Yitzchak Avinu was greater than Avraham Avinu.
Avraham Avinu heard it directly from Hashem but Yitzchak Avinu from his father Avraham Avinu, so he had emunas chachamim.Rashi in Shir Hashirim (4,5) explains how the luchos are like twins being able to be read across. All are understandable except the last one needs an explanation. Why one who desires will give birth to one who will ashame him and will respect someone other than his father? Maybe, the Ibn Ezra explains the prohibition of desiring something belonging to someone else, one should refrain from desiring something not belonging to them as villager desiring a princess. It is out one’s reach. This applies if one respects their status that emanates from the father but if one respects someone else other than the father, they will desire something out of their reach even a princess but why not himself without having to give birth?
YungermanS, I did not read it correctly, you are saying the rulers are actors but in order to be punished they must be bad by themselves.
The most interesting part of the movie is the making the wall of the splitting water stand.
Rashi Tehilim (29,7) on קול ה’ חוצב להבות אש mentions the above Targum Yanoson and in Shir Hashirim on ישקנו the Midrash says that every commandment created a malach which kissed them on the mouth when the Jews accepted it.
If we envision our predecessors like malachim, angels then we can look at us as humans but if we see them as human then we should see ourselves like donkeys and not like the one of Pinchas ben Yair as we don’t comprehend their greatness.
Why think to start from Rosh Chodash? Everyone agrees that two weeks before Pesach one should start to learn the halachas of Pesach (shoalim vedorshim). So bayom hahu, if that day, maybe we should start early as zerizim makdimim lemitzvos. Answers the gemorah that zerizous, diligence only applies at the time of chiyuv, responsibility when matzah and marror are around to be able to question about. The Maasei Hashem explains that this applies to one asking a question but maybe one who does not, it does not matter? The pasuk tells us that it matters for the father to have something in front of him by which, through revealing a little (את פתח לו), encourages his son to ask.
The Ksav Sofer interprets the pasuk in a mussar fashion, וה’ ההלך לפניהם יומם, there are two kinds of temptations, richness and poverty. One should realize that they are in the hand of Hashem and they can change. So when Hashem provides hatzlacha, success בעמוד ענן לנחותם הדרך, keep in mind the dark cloud, that it can become dark and not feel that one has created their own success, will help to live with it and vice versa ולילה בעמוד אש, when going badly, think of the pillar of fire להאיר להם that it can turn to good, ללכת יומם ולילה this will help to overcome the temptation, whether having success or vice versa. The Chasan Sofer, the talmid adds, this is alluded in the Haggadah, to keep for the whole year, matzah the good and marror, the bad constantly in front of us.
YungermanS, you are saying what Shakespeare said, the world is a stage and we are all actors but then we would not have a bechira? We play with the cards we were dealt with.
You GotaGoodPoint. Thank you for pointing it out to me. There is argument between Rebbi and Rebbi Nasan in Pesochim (93,1) if Pesach Sheni is a makeup or a separate chiyuv. The Rambam paskens like Rebbi that it is a separate chiyuv, so a convert even though not responsible the first Pesach has a chiyuv to bring a korban pesach on Pesach Sheni. According to this, the Minchas Chinuch might hold that we have to bring a Pesach Sheni even though we were not responsible on the first Pesach.
I saw from the Shibolei Leket that at the time of the Beis Hamikdash they said בשעה שפסח מצה ומרור מונחים לפניך. They included the Korban Peach to matzah and marror.
The pasuk following it to put tefillin on applies currently, so does the pasuk before when korban Pesach is not available. The Kafter Voferach brings from Rav Chaim from Paris that he wanted to sacrifice a korban Pesach currently at the turn of the Hebrew millennium and the Chasam Sofer with Rebbi Akiva Eiger discuss how to overcome the hindrances. He believed that there was a chiyuv currently just that we cannot fulfil it. So does the Minchas Chinuch who questions if the Beis Hamikdash would be rebuilt between the first Pesach and the second, will we have to bring a Korban Pesach on Pesach Sheni?
The Ksav Sofer explains the use of בעבור זה both for the rasha and the one not asking. Be careful when the child is young and he can not ask to bring him up properly in order not to become a rasha.
Obviously at the time of the Beis Hamikdash it included Pesach also eaten with the matzah and marror but what about currently when the telling of Yetzias Mitzraim is also a mitzva? There is a mashal of telling it at the time of Meshiach from the Migdal Eider Haggadah. There was a poor man who had stomach problems but anyway it did not bother him as he could not afford any more than what he was able to eat. A doctor came and cured him. However, he could not show true appreciation as he desired more but could not afford it. When he became rich, that is when he was able to show the appreciation. Currently, as still being galus, we cannot show true hakoras hatov for yetzias mitzraim but when we will be redeemed, we will truly appreciated.
What was Trump hiding?
Sinas Chinom as explained by the Yad Yosef on Yoma 9, keeping the hatred bottled up in the heart and acting lovingly towards others. We must admonish the individual causing the hatred and thereby we eliminate this behavior to bring Meshiach.
Let’s learn from Israel and keep flights. See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/2078995/finally-israel-cancels-indoor-mask-requirement.html
Should be above, how the tree grows.
It says in Pirkei Avos השונה ממשנתו ומפסיק ממשנתו when a person is learning and interrupts his learning ואומר כמה נאה אילן זה and says how beautiful is this tree, he goes into philosophy by analyzing how the tree goes הרי זה מתחייב בנפשו he is sacrificing his soul.
Maybe to understand the the division of Halel into two. The first is to thank for what was the kur habarzel, being refined for future galus and then hope for what will be, the future redemption.
The Chareidim bakes very thin matzos easy to eat and digest with a very good taste.
huju, ujm obviously meant that predicting this time in 2024 as the OP and left out the word ‘that’ in 2024 Trump would win.
The Sefer Hachinuch says that Kabolas Hatorah is passed on from generation to the generation, from the one who participated to the descendants as no one will inherit falsehoods to their children but what they inherited from their father.
The Chasam Sofer explains that we eat hardboiled eggs at the Passover Seder to reflect on the fact that we are an am kasheh oref, a nation with a hard neck which cannot be swayed from their religion and the eggs, the more we cook them the harder they get.
The above mashel might explain a Midrash that by Kabolas Hatorah, Hashem first wanted to give the Torah to the goyim, so they asked, what was written in it. Each nation was told exactly what they did not like, why? Hashem knew that they are asking for an excuse why not to accept it, so Hashem said, you want an excuse, I will give it to you.
