The women were rewarded with Rosh Chodesh because they valued their jewelry less than the value of the mishkan and were willing to sacrifice it but when it came to the eigel, the golden calf they refused.
They realized that Hashem is mashgiach, has supervision over them as reflected by Rosh Chodesh, the monthly renewal and that cannot be replaced with the symbolism of the eigel. They found a greater catch.I heard from my rebbi, the Matersdorfer Rav, Rav Shmuel ztz’l zy’a, that an am haaretz is not allowed to eat meat because he sends his son to college thereby figuring that he will be from the miut, small amount who comes out religious from it as entered, according to Rebbi Meir who relies on the miut where the question was how meat can be eaten?
coffee addict, I don’t know what is the point for the jail joke. Either I don’t know how to tell the joke or it is well known and does not need to be told.
A bachar arrived to Novardok and hears the others say ich bin gornisht, I am nobody. so he follows them. He is being retorted, what gives you the right to say you are nothing.
GOP has no platform, so now it is synonymous with Trump.
Don’t be like Haran who got burned when going into fire because Avraham Avinu escaped. When going to college know that even though others came out untouched, you can get burned.
Maybe if tzadaka is given properly from it, we realize that we are just a distributer of the money given to us. The Binah Leitim in Parashas Naso interprets the passage ‘אשר יתן לכהן לו יהי what he gives to the kohen is what truly belongs to him.
Trump is not an anti semite but by not standing up against them, he encourages them.
BTW, speaking of fish, I once heard that a fish out of water (without Torah) is bouncing back and forth giving the expression that it is enjoying itself but in reality it is dying.
He has an inferiority complex to praise tyrants as he does not feel adequate, so he has to see himself greater than he is.
The Akeidas Yitzchak says on the second commandment of לא יהי’ לך and as it is so important I will quote it verbatim:
ויש בכלל זה הע”א הגדולה המצויה זאת בעולם מציאות חזק והוא רפואות כל המחשבות והעסקים לקבוץ הממון והצלחות הנכסים שהמה להם האלהים האדירים אשר עליהם הם נשענים ובאמונתם הם נסמכים ועל קדושת שמם הם מכחישים אלו-ה ממעל ועוזבים
את תורתו ומניחים אותה עגונה ועלובה בקרן זויות וזו היא גופה של ע’א
ועיקרהI will try to translate above because of its importance. This (the commandment of lo yihye lecha) includes the great idol worship which is found in this world, a great find which is a cure for all concerns and deeds to collect wealth and success of investments which is their great god that they rely on their belief. They trust its holy name and deny the G-d above and forsake his Torah and leave it an aguna and shameful in the corner. This is the main theme of a’z.
How many Breslover chassidim do we need to change a light bulb? Cannot be done, the first one burned better than any other can.
coffee addict, smart people think alike.
The human being has 248 eivarim, body parts and 365 gidim, sinews against the 248 aseis, positive commandments and 365 lo aseis, negative commandments as it says כי זה כל האדם, so the mitzvas make up the human being all together 613.
The gemora mentions the greatness of Rebbi Yanasan ben Uziel where a bird got burned when he spoke from the air of his mouth. The chasid says, how great he was, the litvak asks was he a mazik, and the yekke asks, was it baked well?
The real rich who inherited money do not need to show off as they are sure about themselves only the nouveau rich (newly rich) who have an inferiority complex show off. Yaakov Avinu said to his sons, lama tisrau, don’t make it look that you have when you don’t have.
abukspan, how is this Vayakhel 2, A Greater Catch, different than the other A Greater Catch on Vayakhel except for the ad for your sefer and the title?
I wrote before from experience as CS states that we have many people in our shul who were uneducated in talmudic studies and yearn to hear some divrei Torah.
Currently an am haaretz wants to learn from a talmid chacham but at the time of the mishna and gemora they had a hatred towards a talmid chacham.
Best Inventions: Penicillin and antibiotics.
ujm, Ketek’s generic name is telithromycin and she sued them and received money.
It is brought down in Taamei Haminhagim that Kiddush Levana helps against a tooth ache. How and why? Maybe, we say there that my enemies should not do bad to me. We find in the Haggadah a hint on hakheh es shinov. When we remove shinov gematria (366) from rasha (570), we get tzadik (204). So we are saying at kiddush levana that it should be a zechus for us to make us a tzadik and not need the operation to weaken our teeth.
What about polio vaccine of Jonas Salk, a Jew?
Better off means easier not better as we would earn a nehameh dekesufa, bread of shame getting rewarded and not doing anything.
I have to agree as it does not mention others besides the machtzis hashekel in fire and not mention it at at all in Menochos (29,1). It mentions sheratzim which I don’t see its benefit. They all say ‘zeh’ so they were shown to Mpshe Rabbenu but whether in fire or not I don’t know.
We say every morning לעולם יהי’ אדם first be a mentch not an animal.
It is a hind (dog) as in German it is called der hund.
MY sister in law needed a liver transplant after taking a brand name antibiotic Ketek.
Three things were shown in fire to Moshe Rabbenu, machtzis hashekel, the levana, and the menorah. They can all be used for good or bad as fire, money, time and the Torah.
אדם קרוב אצל עצמו a person is closest to oneself, therefore אין אדם רואה את נגעי עצמו one does not see one’s own faults.
Kentucky gains more from the federal government than it pays in taxes.
He was born in Frankfurt, Germany and was a talmid of the Minchas Elozor, the Munkacher. The Rav in Sopron before him was Rav Menachem Grunwald who passed away in 1929. Sopron, Oberland, was not chasiddish so he had to acclimate himself to the environment. My Rav in Sopron was the son in law of Rav Zitron, Rav Meir Krausz, who became Rav in Sydney, Australia and came afterwards to Monsey.
The archaeologists found an old synagogue from the thirteen hundreds indicating that Jews lived in Sopron a long time. In 1526 when the Turks took over part of Hungary, the Jews were chased out and they screamed that they have lived there for over 500 years going back to the time of the geonim.
So there was a big kehila there before WWII. The Soproner Rav, Rav Shimon Posen ztz’l was a great talmid chacham. The reason we left at the revolution because there was no yiddishkeit as everyone else left.AAQ, that is the argument whether it is greater not to sin or sin and do teshuva. Is it better to be in Sopron and escape or never be there.
I was able to escape Sopron, Hungary after all other Jews did the same.
I found in the Bar Ilan:
תורת המגיד דברים פרשת ראה
שמעתי מפי מורי ורבי הגאון הקדוש מו”ה דוב בער ז”ל, על מאמרם ז”ל (חולין סג ב), אדם עומד בבבל ורואה נבילה בארץ – ישראל, כי ארץ – ישראל רמז לאיש נקי כפים ונקי מכל סיג, ובבל רומז להמון עם, וזה אדם הוא בבבל שהוא מהמון, ורואה נבילה בא”י דוקא, למצוא העוול באיש הצדיק, וע”ז רמז מאמרם ז”ל (פסחים ה ב) שלך אי אתה רואה אבל אתה רואה של אחרים ושל גבוה, דהיינו שיסתכל למצוא עוול באיש
הצדיק כנ”ל, ודו”קI heard it from my rebbi and it makes sense since chametz reflects the yetzer hara as indicated by the Radbaz and Rav Abarbanel.

The Satmar Rav ztz’l says that if on kisses the Sefer Torah and does not believe in Hashem, makes it an a’z. Similarly, when it comes to the yearning for Israel.
Otzar Hatefilos (2 volumes) explains everything in great detail.
מה אשיב לה’ כל תגמלוהי עלי, how can I thank Hashem Yisborach for all his bestowal. That responsibility lies on me as no one else can do justice to it.
America discovered by Columbus, sent by Ferdinand and Isabela who were responsible for the Spanish Inquisition in 1492 to have a place to escape to.
