Reb EliezerParticipant
They don’t use it but they could use it as it is not fixed to the amud.
Reb EliezerParticipantGo to hebrewbooks.org and search under the author קניבסקי you can download his seforim.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat about placing it before zemiros for shalosh seudas?
Reb EliezerParticipantNero fiddled as Rome was burning.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat is wrong with a thesaurus that gives choices in words how to express oneself in English
by providing synonyms and antonyms.Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chidushei Harim has an interesting explanation for drinking on Purim with a story. A person collected a lot of money to perform an aveira. When he saw how some people were suffering, he forgot everything about doing an aveira and gave the money to them. They were so impressed in the heavens that they decreed that whatever he asks for should be granted to him. Making sure that he should not ask for something that they were not willing to abide by, they also decreed on him that the rest of his life he should be a drunk thereby he should not being able to think clearly. Purim is so great that all prayers are listened to that day, so we are commanded to drink in order not to ask for something that they are unwilling to grant.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee the previous discussion at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/how-was-vashti-killed
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Yalkut Shumoni Esther 2, says that Ahashverus’ anger subsided he was looking for Vashti and was told you killed her. He asked. why did I kill her and what did she do? It looks like he was under the influence of alcohol. The Midrash concludes some say she was exiled as she is not mentioned anymore and others say she was killed because she held back the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy ‘No’ above agrees with ujm.
Reb EliezerParticipantEvery person can be like Moshe Rabbenu provided one riches their potential.
Reb EliezerParticipantNo, it is too dangerous with nuclear weapons around.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Agudah also points out another problem of endangering children who are having to go to school when it is dark.
Reb EliezerParticipantGH, kívánok egy boldog Purimot.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says כל ישראל יש להם חלק לעולם הבא, every Jew has a neshama, a holy soul that gives one the potential to gain the world to come.
Reb EliezerParticipantGH, In Hungarian maga is a respectful reference to you. Hogy van maga, how are you?
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantHopefully it will be a parnassah for the next world.
Reb EliezerParticipantIn absolute they are poshei yisrael but relative they might be tzadikim and beinanim are relative to their level of neshama. The Sefer Habris explains that there are 25 levels of neshama. נפש, רוח, נשמה, יחידה, חיה so we can have נפש שבנפש and רוח שבנפש and so on.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasan Sofer was niftar at 48 years old, acquiring the 48 kinyanim for the Torah, being a grandson of the Chasam Sofer, Rav Shmuel Ehrenfeld ztz’l named after the son in law of the Chasam Sofer, Rav David Tzvi Erherenfeld ztz’l marrying his daugther Hindel or an acronym of Chudushei Neched Sofer. He is the grandfather of my rebbi, Rav Shmuel Eherenfeld ztz’l, the Matersdorfer Rav. She explained that the tziporas hakromim says in Perek Shira מאין יבא עזרי. This is bird when killed and its oil is applied to the forehead helps against shikcha, forgetting but there is a better solution by learning 101 times, so מאין adds up to 101 which will protect it from getting killed. When the Chasan Sofer was learning, he held a candle and fell asleep. The gemora he learned caught fire and the Chasam Sofer came in a dream to the daughter, telling her to hurry because her son is in danger, They have the gemora to this very day.
Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe according to the RMA 695,2 mentioned above to drink enough to fall asleep maybe the women can also do that.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen is alos hashachar? Putting on talis and tefilin might be a bigger problem.
Reb EliezerParticipantHalvay!
Reb EliezerParticipantEven though the last one cannot be compared but most are good so it is considered like all being nullified, batel to the rest.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a difference between relative and absolute. Everyone is a big tzadik relative to someone under
them but the lamud vav tzadikim are big without comparison.Reb EliezerParticipantWhy does it not say to be drunk until one is not able to differentiate between Vashti and Esther? Maybe you really have to be drunk as explained above from the Iyun Yaakov.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, doesn’t the gemora Chagigah (27,1) apply that pasuk to poshei yisrael?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasan Sofer said that we should learn mussar and say viduy before gemora learning as Hashem says to the rashaim, why read my Torah at all.
Reb EliezerParticipantShould be above what they do and not what they don’t do.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says פושעי ישראל מלאים מצות כרמון, the worst of Jews are filled with mitzvos like a pomegranate, so let us look at what they and not what they don’t do.
Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the Rabbenu Bachaya in Parashas Ki Siso on not counting each other directly as it separates the good and bad. Hashem on Rosh Hashana sees us with one stare. Bolok told Bilom to find a place where he can only see some of the Jews but not all because if he sees all, nothing bad can effect them.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen we are united, every yid is considered a big tzadik, so when we daven, we should accept the mitzva of loving each other and our tefilos will be accepted together. See Magen Avraham in the beginning of Shulchan Aruch in the name of the Ari z’l.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe gemora says that Vashti retorted to Achashverus, you were a stable boy to my father, Balshatzar, the grandson of Nebuchadnetazar. My father drank a thousand glasses of wine and he did not become drunk but you drank one glass of wine and became drunk. Maybe, to tie the two retorts of Vashti, my father was reach so he could afford wine, drank a lot and became immune to its effects whereas you were a stable boy who could not afford wine, did not become immune to it and become drunk.
Reb EliezerParticipantThank you for your PSA information.
Reb EliezerParticipantCS, what are you saying, it spells TROLL?
Reb EliezerParticipantWe say עד דלא ידע ולא עד בכלל, until but not inclusive, as I pointed from a ramez from the Torah that when it comes to becoming drunk, a person should stop at the borderline before he cannot differentiate between Haman ym’s and Mordechai z’l. I read from a dedication of a book from Victor Hugo, if the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not the one who commits the sin but the one who causes the darkness. A drunk driver is not responsible for driving drunk but by bringing oneself to the level of not being able to resist his driving when being drunk. The gemora mentions the story of Rabeh slaughtered Rebbe Zeire and revived him. It could be wine reveals secrets (see the Kli Yakar at the end of Shelach on Ayin Beayin) and the next year they were more careful by drinking.
Reb EliezerParticipantWolf, if they were sure about themselves and not be a coward having an inferiority complex there would be no need to create an unprovoked war with false pretenses. Ahashveros showed his wealth because he had to show his greatness as explained by the Malbim, so does Trump.
Reb EliezerParticipantTrump and Putin are guilty of psychological projection כל הפוסל במומו פוסל one who faults, faults with their own faults.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf we take the letters after hashomayim, השמים תחת – ו,ת,נ,כ,נ, under hashomayim, adds up to 6 plus 400 plus 50 plus 20 plus 50 = 526 same as שכור, indicating even when we are drunk we should not forget amolek.
March 14, 2022 5:46 pm at 5:46 pm in reply to: Head of the Office of President of Ukraine praises Israel #2069129Reb EliezerParticipantFor those who don’t understand above, with the same feet one cannot dance at two weddings at the same time.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Iyyun Yaakov on the Ein Yaakov explains the idea of blessing Haman ym’s and ch’v cursing Mordechai. When one is inebriated, he might ch’v curse Mordechai as he started up with Haman ym’s and bless Haman ym’s as he accomplished what 48 neviim could not. He was able to turn the Jews to teshuva. The Chasam Sofer explains that Mordechai could not bow down to Haman as he wore an idol, getchke. The others had an excuse that they are bowing down to give him respect (see the RMA YD 150) but Haman ym’s was Mordechai’s servant. Mordechai actually showed him the contract of selling himself for some bread in the desert.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe RMA says to drink such that one falls asleep and in that state one is performing the mitzva of not knowing to differentiate between Haman ym’s and Mordechai.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhat about Debretziner?
Reb EliezerParticipantIt was my father’s favored saying.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis year will be the problem for those who only eat gebrokts the last day which is on shabbos, when will it be made?
Reb EliezerParticipantFor eating gebrokts see my discussion at https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/eating-gebroks-on-pesach.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is another famous story about the two brothers who stayed in a motel and their room was situated next to the bar. A drunken soldier picks one of them up and starts dancing with him. He continues this many times. Eventually the dancing brother has enough and tells his brother let us change places such that next time he will dance with you. So the soldier arrives and says, I danced enough with you now I will dance with the other one. A saying developed from the rebbe who said, ob es is beshert zu tanzen, tanzt man, if it is fated to dance, one dances.
