Yosef being a leader was niftar before any of the other shevatim having to worry about the needs of all.
Reb EliezerParticipantJoynny, I appreciate your outright comment indicating your ignorance by making all who eat machine matzos considered eating chametz on Pesach.
March 11, 2022 3:06 pm at 3:06 pm in reply to: Do you think you would be a good politician? #2068448Reb EliezerParticipantA politician has to stretch the truth which I am reluctant to do.
Reb EliezerParticipantabukspan, why do you repeat the same dvar Torah twice under a different title?
March 11, 2022 1:30 pm at 1:30 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Vayikra – Worth Its Salt: #2068439Reb EliezerParticipantSalt indicates also not to be stingy as Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt because of not providing salt to the poor. We don’t appreciate salt as we should but when take it away, we come to realize what we are missing.
Reb EliezerParticipantHe might have had another illness and COVID was just the finishing touch.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says זבחי אלקים רוח נשברה the purpose of a sacrifice is to break our spirit to realize the sin and whatever is being done to it should be done to us.
March 10, 2022 9:30 pm at 9:30 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Vayikra – Worth Its Salt: #2068295Reb EliezerParticipantWe should remember that salt water is like tears and salt softens the meat as pain softens the sins but too much salt destroys the meat.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe translation of the above is, to rely and put your trust on tzadikim.
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard from Rav Sheinberg the interpretation of the bracha משען ומבטח לצדיקים, as he was holding on to me and considering me a tzadik.
Reb EliezerParticipantI can become a chavrusa on the telephone.
Reb EliezerParticipantKilling civilians who are not part of the war is achzoriyos and I don’t think the Netziv will approve of it as we find by ihr hanidachas. Being an achzor, killing out the whole city, had to come with a blessing of mercy in order not to learn from it.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou did not translate the above Netziv correctly who says if being a time of hatred and a time to kill, does not get punished, However if there is no reason for hatred, it is not a time to kill and therefore, should be punishment.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe above is a recent update of the Ukrainian refugees distribution.
Reb EliezerParticipantEven according to the Netziv does it apply to an unprovoked invasion?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Chasam Sofer explains the passage תלמידי חכמים מרבים שלום בעולם, our sages spread peace to the world, such that there is a fixed number of battles set aside in this world. If it is used in the battle of Torah arguments, then there will be less actual battles in the world.

Reb EliezerParticipantWe have to destroy amolek to annihilate the bad midos they had.
March 9, 2022 9:52 pm at 9:52 pm in reply to: Vaykro – The Childrens Recognition of Their Father’s Greatness #2067914Reb EliezerParticipantRashi says when Hashem listened to Yitzchak over Rivkah as Yitzchak is a tzadik ben tzadik whereas Rivkah is a tzadekes bas rasha. Maybe as Yitzchak coming from a tzadik would have the value of 2 whereas Rivka from a rasha, 1 1/2. So 2>1 1/2.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe commemorate the Yahr Zeit of Moshe Rabbenu on the second Adar because it is related to Purim. Haman ym’s did not know that he was niftar on zayin adar as he was also born that day.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe find the comparison in תיקוני זוהר (נז,ב) – Tekunei Zohar (57,2).
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, I said that because of my personal experiences remembering the Hungarian Revolution.
We escaped Sopron, Hungary as refugees in the beginning of 1957 being 9 years old. There was no yiddishkeit left when all other Jews escaped and there was no minyan anymore, so even though they did not target the Jews directly, the effect was the same.Reb EliezerParticipantThe Berdichever ztz’l explains that when we are happy doing teshuva, mitzvas and maasim tovim, we make Hashem also happy and כל הפושט יד נותנים לו, so one who stretches his hand towards the Heaven will be answered as Yom Kippur where teshuva is done from fear.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe read the megilla both at night and daytime which teaches us that there is always a silver lining and bad will turn to good when trusting Hashem but it is the darkest before the dawn.
Reb EliezerParticipantRussia has turned itself into Amolek.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe need to do teshuva on Purim from joy.
March 9, 2022 2:27 pm at 2:27 pm in reply to: Vaykro – The Childrens Recognition of Their Father’s Greatness #2067690Reb EliezerParticipantRabbi Akiva was not selected as the nasi as he had no zechus avos, attributing one’s greatness to the father which leads to gaiva.
Reb EliezerParticipantMoshe Rabbenu wanted to show by the small aleph that he is not better than Aharon who could not constantly enter the Kodshei Kodoshim.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Republicans don’t help the poor by saying let them sink and swim. The democrats don’t force abortions or go after taiva.
Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the GRA on Yonah. The jugs refer to Chanukah recognizing the importance of the light of Torah in galus. When we are sent to earth we are mixed with the goyim and must fight them as Yaakov Avinu fought Eisov and his malach.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, the sitra achra makes this coincidences to turn Jews away from yiddishkeit by showing that the goyim have some strength as Hashem does imply anything under the influence of tuma. The Satmar Rav ztz’l says that the eigel came out from the koach of the sitra achra.
Reb EliezerParticipantPurim demonstrates that Hashem has us in mind even when we are sinning as Vashti was judged for execution in the middle of us taking part of Ahashveroshes meal.
Reb EliezerParticipantלולב is 68 gematria חיים and אתרוג with the כולל is 611 gematria תורה as two mitzvas were directly heard from Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe don’t use incorrect secular dates to make gematrios to learn any mussar. Use Jewish dates. אל תפנו אל האלילים ושם אלהים אחרים לא ישמע על פיך
Reb EliezerParticipantFor the Jews there is a difference between the first month of the year is Tishri and the first month is Nissan as lehavedil there is difference between the first month of the fiscal year and the first month of the year.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee Yechaveh Daas (3,56) from Rav Ovadya Yosef ztz’l explaining in great detail the requirement for chalak, glatt shechita when it comes to the lungs, so it does not apply to fowl.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee Yechaveh Daas (3,56) from Rav Ovadya Yosef ztz’l who explains in great detail the requirement for chalak, glatt shechita.
Reb EliezerParticipantA new year by the Jews starts by the 7th month and not after the 12th month. It is like lehavdil by the goyim a fiscal year starts from July and not January. So, even though the months are counted from Nissan, the years are counted from Tishri, no contradiction.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, whether you like it or not, 9-11 does not reflect Tisha B’av as Av is not the 11th month, period. Saying that you are violating that months are counted from Nissan. Look at Jermiah (52, 12) describing Tisha B’av referring to it as the fifth month the tenth day. Rabbi Yochanan says that if he would have been there, he would have dsignated the tenth day but by us the beginning of punishment is more painful. The Chasam Sofer explains that even though most of the Beis Hamikdash burned on the tenth but when they started on the ninth to apply fire to it, was a kodeshdige bayis but once fire caught on, a chukindige bayis burned.
Reb EliezerParticipantSo, Av is the 5th month and not the 11th month. We start counting months from Nissan and not from Tishri whereas Jewish years are counted from Tishri and not from Nissan.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, the world was created the 25th of Elul and Adam Harishon was created the sixth day of creation, Rosh Hashanah and the Torah calls it the seventh month the first day, Bamidmar 29,1 in Parashas Pinchas we designate the new year from then. The Torah does not call it the first month.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, show me one place in Tenach where the months are counted from Tishri.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein what you are saying is a halacha in Shulchan Aruch O’CH 231 to do our mundane things for Hashem’s sake.
Reb EliezerParticipantgoldpen, no one said that Trump is a nazi but by not speaking up he ends up giving them strength and supporting them.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says to make a mikdash and Hashem will rest among them where it does not say among it. The holy Shlah says that every individual should make himself a mikdash, so it makes sense to have to account what we do with our mikdash.
Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, generations change, they pass their baton to the next generation as it says in Koheles
דור הולך ודור בא as pointed out eloquently by GH all gedolim above were around a hundred in age. No one should pass on any younger. It says שוב יום אחד לפני מותך repent a day before your last day. I once heard an explanation what would a person do if one knew that this is one’s last day that was returned by getting a reprieve? So one should see every day as such.Reb EliezerParticipantWhen tzadikim pass on it is a wake up call as we are not worthy to be in their company and by comparison get hurt by them as we see by Chanoch who was taken away early.
Reb EliezerParticipantEveryone agrees that the physical creation of Adam Harishon was done Rosh Hashana so we start to account for our sins then but the months are counted from Nissan.
