There is question if abortion is ratzicha or chabolah. By the goyim everyone agrees it is ratzicha,
but by the Jews there is an argument. So those that hold that it is chabola under certain circumstances are lenient. See https://ph dot yhb dot org dot il/14-09-11/ the Hebrew Wikipedia.What about if rape or incest is committed?
He was a talmid of Rav Hershele Lisker ztz’l and refused the rebbe position and passed it on to the Lisker Rav’s son in law, the Tal Hachaim, Rav Chaim Friedlander ztz’l.
A Yahr Tzeit, יומא דהילולא is a day of elevation of the niftar and therefore an enjoyment for us.
The above Dubner Maggid is on the gemora in Shabbos about the contradiction in Koheles on שמח בחור בילדותך, young man enjoy yourself in your youth followed by ודע כי אל כל אלה יביאך ה’ במשפט, know that for all you will be taken to judgement. So the gemora says that the first part is the yetzer hara and the second part the yetzer tov. So he says that maybe according to the above mashel both are said by the yetzer hara, once he throws us into the pit making us a rasha through enjoying ourselves, he says now you cannot get out and away from the judgement which is waiting for you.
No, because if someone considers themselves a rasha might refrain from doing teshuva. There is a mashel of the Dubner Magid, where one saw a poor man and wanted to make some fun of him. He told him come to my hotel and eat and drink and enjoy yourself to your hearts content. Being there a week or so, the owner comes and asks him to pay up. He has to give up the backpack he has and goes out saddened. The man starts laughing at him and tells him, now you might as well go back and eat and drink as you have nothing to lose anymore. The yetzer hara has us enjoy ourselves in this world and when we are full sins, he says, now there is no help anymore for you, teshuva does not work, and you might as well do whatever you want.
The source of the prohibition of abortion is Oholos (7,6) and the Rambam permitting it when considering the child a rodaf endangering the mother.
Wolf, אין אדם משים עצמו רשע, a person should not consider oneself a rasha.
The Chacham Tzvi left in his tzavaoh for his descendant women not to make a bracha on a time dependent mitzva.
I speak from experience adopting a boy and girl as babies, converting and paying for them. He being 38 and she almost 36. They are married with children. My wife, their adoptive mother passed away 12 years ago.
Why can’t they bring it to terms and give it up for adoption, make money on it?
We wait for Pidyan Haben for thirty days after birth to be sure that the child is viable but by a goy we don’t go after rov.
We don’t permit making decision of one’s own body as suicide is forbidden.
The Meharsha says that Pharaoh took Jewish midwifes as by Jews abortion is not assur biblically. The Chezkuni explains that only money is paid as viability comes at birth but by goyim at conception.
The definition given for a cult makes it clear. Cult – a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. Obviously, Judaism does not fit this definition.
Look up the wikipedia on Maria Schicklgruber the paternal grandmother of Hitler ym’s. They found no Jewish background.
Whether a woman can make a bracha on time dependent mitzva is a machlokes between the Rabbenu Tam whose view is that an unnecessary bracha is only assur rabbinically therefore as there is no chiyuv but there can be a mitzva, so they can, and the Rambam, Mechaber whose view is that it is assur because of lo siso, see Rosh Hashana (1,33). So for the ashkenazim, an Amen should be recited on their bracha.
The Satmar would say לא תתורו אחרי לבבכם ואחרי עניכם don’t follow Hertzl or Rav Kook.
What about the fact that the Bnei Ephraim were slaughtered for leaving before the time of redemption?
Avira, capital letters is a show of respect, so why don’t you use it for gedolim?
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.
