My rebbi, the Matersdorfer Rav ztz’l at my wedding, which would have been 50 years on lag baomer, did not allow the kallah to come to the men rather I was going back and forth between the men and women. There were two tables. The main table by the women and the smaller table by the men.
Speaking of tzurah the Chasam Sofer in O’CH 159 is lenient about shaving the beard.
The sefardim make a bracha on matzah the whole year mezonos and hamotzi on Pesach.
Animals have no bechira, so Yosef was happy that he was placed in the pit where scorpions were and controlled by Hashem than human beings who have a bechira as we say at tachnun Vayomer David el Gad.
Say פותח את ידך with kavonoh. The Haflaah says that ratzon means satisfaction. Being satisfied and happy with what one is given.
I have seen when davening shemonei esrei they remove it from behind the ears.
The rabbonim usually use a long gartel far from touching the kalla, so what is the question about tznius?
The Aseres Hadibros has 620 words, which encompasses all mitzvos according to the Rabbenu Bachaya in Kad Hakemach, does start with an aleph as the mitzvos protect us and unify us.
Look at the above reference to see.
Maybe, this explains why Chavah was not created first. The Torah starts with a Beis and not an Aleph. When it came to Kabolas Hatorah, the women had to accept it first.
The Baal Haikarim combines the 13 ikarim to 3. One, believing in Hashem, two, reward and punishment and three, Torah was given from Hashem. Some convert it to, belief in Hashem, Hashgacha and Uniqueness, Hashem being One, which encompass the first three brachas of shmonei esrei.
From the above posters we see that Lipa is not Lubavich.
The Abarbanel explains that ch’v to say Hilel denies the coming of Meshiach but the argument is if 40 years will be between his coming and techiyas hamesim or they will happen one after another. If the Lubatvicher still believe that their rebbi is Meshiach who is not alive any more, they must follow the view of Hilel that first will be techiyas hamesim and then the coming of Meshiach.
Lipa Shmeltzer sang Aishes Chayil at my son’s wedding as a mitzva tantz which is available on youtube when googling lipa macarena.
The order of parshiyus are like by creation where the animals where created first for the benefit of the human beings. Water and sun for the plants, plants for the animals and animals for the humans. The Klei Yakar explains that only when learning Torah, which makes us better than them, can we eat animals. That is why an am haaretz is not allowed to eat meat as Adam Harishon, who did not learn Torah, whereas Noach who learned Torah was permitted.
There is story that when a clock was brought in to the Chasam Sofer’s shul, it was broken into pieces.
If the whole nega turns white, is tahor. Why? Isn’t white a sign of tomai? The Torah does not like fakeness. When seeing one’s faults we can avoid their friendship and one can repent. When the animals are enumerated in Parashas Shemini, the pig is prohibited by mentioning first its cut hoofs. The Kli Yakar asks that is not what causes its prohibition but its lack of rechewing? He answers that by showing its cut hoofs it reveals its fakeness and adds to its issur.
When one is hungry, it is greater to teach a person how to fish than to give one a fish.
There is a differing view between the Torah and science whether the woman or the man determines gender. The Torah says that it is the woman whereas science says it is the man. Science says that the woman has two x chromosomes and the man has an x and y chromosomes. The man can either give an x or a y but the woman can only give an x. If the man gives an x, it is female or a y a male. Maybe, the woman creates the environment determining what the man gives. So it is still the woman who determines gender.
It says in the Hagaddah that Rebbi Akiva reclined in front of his rebbi, Rebbi Eliezer, so how can he recline? Rebbi Eliezer was strict with Rebbi Akiva so he would not give him permission. Therefore it says that it was in Bnei Brak where Rebbi Akiva was the Rav and the talmid can recline in front of his rebbi where he is the Rav.
The seudah goes with a shiur, a measurement for a meal which in this case is two slices as above.
Tzedakah does not have to be lishma as the mitzva is not the giving but making sure the other person has. The Dubner Maggid explains that an individual should only be granted money for survival. Hashem wanted to give him ten times as much to be able to give the survival amount for maaser. Therefore, if one gives maaser, will become rich.
The halacha is that if you set a seudah on mezonos, you make hamotzi and bentch.
I think the Bnei Yisoschor explains the pasuk at the end of halel א-ל ה’ ויאר ל’נו where kel Hashem is 57 lights up nu which is 56.
The Chasam Sofer said that it is better to have a girl than a boy. We cannot ensure that he becomes a talmid chacham but we can ensure that she marries a talmid chacham.
The attitude toward parnassah is hidden in it. It has נס, נסה and פרה. Neis is for the rich by recognizing that one’s richness comes through miracles. Nissoh is for the poor who should realize that their poverty is a test. Parah is 5 X 57 (זן) = 285. The ending letters מנצפך = 280 is 5 x 56. This is called ממתק את הדינים by adding an extra one to it we are sweetening the judgements. This is also used to explain the 5 hoshanas for Hoshanah Rabbah.
Mordechai knew how she can do it without an aveira but Esther did not want to sacrifice herself on purpose as they can be saved without her.
We find by Basyeh, the daughter of Pharaoh that she stretched out her hand and it grew so that she should be able to reach Moshe Rabbenu. They ask, how did she know that her hand will grow? The Baalei Mussar, say the person should do whatever one can and then Hashem will do His part. Its like חציה לה’ וחציה לכם, if half is done by us then the other half will be done by Hashem. Reb Moshe ztz’l says by bringing up children, after putting in half of our effort then we must pray that it should bear fruits. Half perspiration and half inspiration.
I sent you two boats and a helicopter
This is a story of a man, who was a firm believer of G-d.
One day it began to rain very heavily. It kept raining and a big flood came.
The man climbed up on the roof of his house, and knew that he would be ok. G-d would protect him.It kept raining and now the water had reached his waist. A boat came by and a guy in the boat said: “Hey, jump in. We will take you with us”.
“No thanks”, said the man. “I’m a firm believer in G-d. He will rescue me”. He sent the boat away.It kept on raining and now the water had reached his neck. Another boat came by and a guy in the boat said: “You look like you could need some help. Jump in and we will take you with us”.
“No”, said the man. “I’m a firm believer in G-d. He will rescue me. Don’t worry about me”. The boat sailed away.It still rained and the water now reached his mouth. A helicopter came by and a guy in the helicopter threw down a rope and said: “Hi there my friend. Climb up. We will rescue you”.
“No”, said the man. “I’m a firm believer in G-d. He will rescue me. I know he will”. The helicopter flew away.It kept on raining, and finally the man drowned.
When the man died, he went to heaven. When entering Heaven, he had an interview with G-d.
After giving a polite greeting and sitting down, the man asked: “Where were you. I waited and waited. I was sure you would rescue me, as I have been a firm believer all my life, and have only done good to others. So where were you when I needed you?”
G-d (kavayachel) scratched his confused looking face and answered: “I don’t get it either. I sent you two boats and a helicopter”.Many who believe in G-d somehow believe that signs of help and guidance come as a big event of some kind, when actually it would probably come as a small sign of help here and there along the way. We must do our hishtadlus, make an effort to be helped.
The way I learned it is that you don’t say to your rebbi, rebbi you are wrong but show a proof of reference of an opposite view similarly to a father.
The Ksav Sofer explains that they said when will these leaders pass on and we will take over.
It does not sound too good to wait for them to die. So he says they did not want to get married and have children as we see from Moshe Rabbenu that leaders don’t have any time to bring up their children properly, so they did not want to have any children because they will eventually be the leaders. This type of thinking is an אש זרה, an outside fire where a person does not rely on Hashem’s help as King Chezkiyah thought when having Menasheh.The Magen Avraham says about tzitzis that among goyim we can put it in the kanfos,
see MB O’CH 8 s’k 25.The individual is responsible to make sure that leinen is possible by making sure ten people listen to it. The responsibility is not like megilla where one must personally listen to it but as mentioned on each individual of the tzibur. Once ten people listen, one can say shenaim mikra at leinen.
As you are from Israel, I think the above should be done in CH’L when leined in Israel.
Yes do shenayim mikra veechad targum, lein it twice and once the targum when it is leined.
YungermanS, the Chasam Sofer said that the day he does not learn Chovas Halvovas, he can feel the lack of it.
CS, if the money is not used properly as my rebbi, the Matersdorfer Rav, Rav Shmuel ztz’l said to make zahav tahor, pure gold than the segula will not work. A person can ch’v get fired or get sick and will not be able to work. I just went to a shiva call for a man, tall and viral at 49 years old, who went to sleep and did not wake up, so we should also daven to be able to provide to our family and teach them for long years as we say shlita which stands for שיחי’ לימים טובים ארוכים, to be able to live long. I just saw from the Meharam Sofer, a nephew of the Machnei Chaim, who reconciles a contradiction in our weekly parasha, Shemini. In the beginning it says vayhi indicating, pain and sadness but it also says that there was such a simcha as when the world was created. He explains that there was big sadness and pain for the loss of Nadav Vaavihu but the same time there was a great simcha in the heavens above when they were accepted them with open arms.
You can be machshich al hatechum, wait before night at the techum before shabbos and it is not a hachana because it is done for a mitzva similarly for maariv as lacketchila maariv should be davened motzei shabbos at night as indicated in SA O’CH 293,1.
כל העוסק בצרכי צבור באמונה sometimes there is no money only belief and trust.
Wash your hands with a lot of water as על נטילת ידים has the beginning letters עני.
Is Biden responsible for his son’s actions?
What does Biden have to do with his son?
Maybe, the two hoils are not the same as whether the guest come or not is out of our control, not beyoda whereas to use a siddur is within our control. Also, to admonish and give malkus must be a sure thing but as the guest will come or not is a hasroas safek so no malkus is given.
After researching it more, I think the problem is that hoil only works badeavad, once done but not laketchila by doing it directly, otherwise why make an eiruv tavshilin, see SA O’CH 503? So one cannot perform an action directly like preparing the siddur for tomorrow, a week day even if it can be used today. The question is that if hoil can makes a tzorach ketzas, a small need, mitoch is doing a malacha directly?
I don’t agree as hachana has to do whether it can be used on shabbos and hoil provides the means. Tiltul has do with the current use and hoil does not apply as letzorech gifa, a hammer to break nuts. Making the bed is not necessary for shabbos. I think the siddur shaila is mutar if it can be used for shabbos, it is not hachana.
I also learned learned Beyah and in effect it was my first mesachta and my Bar Mitzva pashetel was on tevilas kelim. When it comes to psak we pasken both like Rabbah and Rav Nachman that Yom Tov by muktza is more stringent. In Pesachim 46 Rabbah’s view is hoil when by hachana, preparing from Yom Tov to Shabbos even for a week day there is no malkus and cooking from Yom Tov to Shabbos is mutar biblically but requiring Eruv tavshilin to remove the rabbinical prohibition. Hoil makes a small need for mitoch. So if one can eat the food on the Yom Tov or have a guest, one can cook for the next day Yom Tov. Similarly, if one can use the siddur for shabbos and no hachana exists.
Avira, they are not conflating the two as Rabbah who holds muktzah also hoids hoil by hachana, so as long as it is possible to use it on shabbos, it is not assur and even though we don’t pasken muktza is biblical, we do say hoil.
I applied הואיל as we can you use it for shabbos for zemirus for shalosh suedas so there is no hachana learned by Rabeh himself.
Since I did not know him personally, I will refer to someone who knew him.
