Sam Klein, you are violating the pasuk above to start to count from Nissan and not from Tishri as we find all over the Torah. It is an issur to count months by numbers not from Nissan. If not counting from Nissan, the months should not be referred to through numbers. Your comments above are disrespectful when I don’t make up incorrect things to suit myself. Stop being a preacher when others know about teshuva just as much as you do.
If you see a wake up call according to your calculations, so be it as long as you wake up but don’t force others to recognize it when they have other correct means to achieve the same results.
Something that cannot be a coincidence from Sefer Shevil Rakia for people liking gematrios,
החדש הזה לכם ראש חדשים ראשון הוה לכם לחדשי השנה hints on the time from one molad to the next
כמה תשעה ועשרים יום ומחצה ותשצ’ג חלקים, how much 29 1/2 days and 793 chalakim where a chelek is 1/1080
of an hour, around 3/4 of an hour, 45 min, both adding up to 2658.The ills of money and wealth is described by the Akeidas Yitzchak on lo yihye lecha in the Aseres Hadibros. These are his words as translated by me. It 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, forsake his Torah, leave it an aguna, and being ashamed in the corner. This is the main theme of a’z.
Sam Klein, I think that 9-11 was more a reminder of believing in our financial superiority, the tower of Babel. It happened at the time of selichos to remind us to do teshuva. Some people got saved as they went to work late.
Sam Klein, Av is not the 11th month anywhere in the Torah as we count months from Nissan. This whole pshat is forced. It reminds me of the Midas muffler commercial, ‘we will make it fit’.
Sam Klein, for being in CH’L and anti-semitism, look at the Meshech Chachmah in Parshas Bechukosai on Veaf Gam Zos.
As mentioned above the date by us is not 9-11 but 9, 11 plus 13 = 23 inclusive as described above. The proof is from Vesain Tal Umotor said on Dec 4th and not November 22nd.
If collectors come or from a fund, try to get some acknowledgement letter from a gadol.
nishtdayngesheft, it says עולם כמנהגו נוהג where Hashem gave over the daily functioning to science and nature but certain things can override it. Look at the end of Maseches Shabbos on the argument if we go by the horoscope, mazel by the Jews. The one whose view is we don’t follow the mazel is because tefila, mitzvos and maasim tovim can override it. So assuming is not an apikorsus. The Magen Avraham says not to make kiddush from 6:00 to 7:00 as when Saturn (shabsai) rules over.
The Ramban explains that living in Ch’L is like worshipping a’z. There are 70 nations where each is ruled by a malach who is known as elohim. Hashem, who picked EY is known as Elokei Haelohim. Therefore, there is a tendency to worship a’z in Ch’L thinking that they are in control but they can be overridden as above.When fighting cancer l’a there are two ways to fight it, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Destroying it or to build up the body’s immuno-system to be able to fight it. The second strengthens the body and the first weakens the body, so the second is better.
Sam Klein, if you want something worthwhile, look at the Yabia Omer (8,37) at the end from Rav Ovadya Yosef ztz’l, where he explains how in the mishna Sheviis (9,1) הפיגם, hapigam looking at its reverse we find מגיפה, plague, as interpreted by the Tiferes Yisrael is a red cabbage, might be a segula for COVID-19.
Sam Klein, 9-11 was a wakeup call at the time of selichos but don’t make up things that are not true. It has nothing to do with Tisha B’av, if for the fact that it happened being in galus,
Ukraine is a wake up call for the Jews. Say Tehilim 83.
Koheles is not Proverbs (Mishlei) but Ecclesiastes and I like 9-12 better which explains it clearer and where does it say it refers to Tisha B’av and 9-11 was not Tisha B’av but Selichos. It is an issur to make any references from goyishe months and it was not 9-11 but 13 days after it as Pope Gregory removed 13 says discussed below, so we start Vesain Tal Umotor, Dec 4th or 5th rather than 60 days after the tekufa.
The reason we must adjust the Tekufas Tishri by 13 days because Pope Gregory in 1582 created a Gregorian calendar over Julian Caesar’s calendar because he adjusted the calendar by 10 days. The other days difference had to do wiith a leap year for a complete century. This should be a leap year since years divisible by 4 should be a leap year. The complete century is a hundred years. He changed it that only if is divisible by 400 will be a leap year. The years 1600 and 2000 were ok; The years 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years any more. This makes the differende of another 3 days for a total of 13 days.
1948 should be 5708 always 3760 more.
When you compare a goyish date with a jewish date, you compare apples and oranges.
I was born in 1948 (5748) but we don’t compare goyish dates with Jewish dates.
I gave to the above fund, see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/promotions/2065325/rabbi-bleich-dramatic-changes-in-the-last-24-hours.html
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.
