YungermanS, what you are saying are the words of the Akeidas Yitzchak on the second commandment of לא יהי’ לך and as it is so important I will quote it verbatum:
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
ועיקרהכל הפוסל במומו פוסל, one who faults, faults with one’s own faults.
שלך אי אתה רואה אבל אתה רואה של אחרים ושל גבוה, you don’t see your own faults but see the faults of others and the holy.
אין אדם רואה את נגעי עצמו, one does not see one’s own faults.GH:

The Trumpkopf lost big time
The Electoral College saidI heard once it says in the aseres hadibros זכור את יום השבת לקדשו remember shabbos by sanctifying it ‘ששת ימים תעבוד ועשית ‘כל מלאכתך then you won’t forget when is shabbos and will be able to do all your work in six days, even more than necessary for your sustenance, וביום השביעי שבת לה’ אלקיך the seventh day will be a rest day for Hashem your G-d ‘לא תעשה ‘כל מלאכה you will be able to rest completely and even not doing what is necessary for your sustenance.
What is interesting why it does not say by the six days over here כל מלאכה, all your work as explained? Could be that it does not say to remember shabbos, so he does not forget it and there is no need to tell that one can do all the work in the six days.Syag, my point was as you don’t ask about Trump because he was elected, so was Biden elected.
Why was Trump president?
Yitzchak Yair, Ashkenaz from Artscroll in Hebrew.
People have brains, They know what to follow and what not.
When did they say that?
It is an argument where the Rambam’s view (Hilchas Kli Hamikdash 8,12) is that only at the time of avodah is shatnez allowed as the belt had shatnez in it whereas the Raavad’s view is that anytime in the day in the mikdash it is allowed.
ujm, add cheese to the above.
The contraction of COVID has diminished, so the requirement for mask wearing has been relaxed in New York.
They say fish and chips. CS, naming something is a means of communication, so if the other party knows what I mean, I can call it anything. If one knows that if I call a chair, a table and vice versa I mean the other, it does not matter. BTW, this topic belongs in the cholent topic.
What is interesting that Moshe Rabbenu was the Kohen Gadol through the whole Shivas Yemei Miluim, dedication of the mishkan. We find that he was afraid to get close, so Hashem called him, vayikro el Moshe with a small aleph showing his humility. Maybe this is what made him worthy as we find by Mitzraim resisting to go to Pharaoh. He was told that the Jews will accept the Torah on Har Sinai. What is the connection? The Olelos Ephraim explains, Hashem said, I am picking Har Sinai to give the Torah because of its humility, similarly I am picking you because of your humility.
If it is infinitely better, than it is perfect. There is nothing better than infinitely better.
Infinite means that whatever number I give you, you can give me a number higher as a means of measurement for its value.It says אין יום שאין קללתו מרובה מחבירו there is no day that does not get worse. Maybe, this is for our benefit. The Kli Yakar on ‘ופרצת ימה וקדמה וכו asks why in extreme order? He explains that Meshiach will come when we reach the lowest level, such that we can only rely on Hashem. So we are getting closer and closer to the coming of Meshiach.
Thanks Syag.
Thanks for your good wishes yungermanS, ken yehi ratzon. If there is a ratzon than yehi.
נוצר צנור for רצון Create a conduit for willing. Everyone can be a Vina Gaon, ob men vilna, if the will is there.Shabbos, 11 Adar I, February 12, will be my 65th anniversary that I left Sopron, Hungary in 1957 being 9 years old. The profound question is, what would have happened if I stayed there? My mother’s a’h brother, who was not religious, left in beginning of November 1956 and returned the next day. My father was involved in getting people out as the grammer, Yaakov Miller. In the beginning when someone was caught, would be sent back allowing them to try again. The rules became harsh giving jail time for one caught. In February 1957 when my father wanted to to take a big family, he was told that this is too dangerous and I rather take you. My father comes home at night and says, pack up we are leaving.
Today is my cranniversary, 4 years.
Is any other place better?
DY, doesn’t that mean that gelilah is greater who currently roles the Torah?
We always sing Ein Kelokeinu as a commemoration to someone who passed away relatively young and used to sing it.
Töltött káposzta for Hungarians, cholopchis for the Polish, gefilte kraut for Germans or in Yiddish, stuffed cabbage for the Americans and כרוב ממולא for the Israelis.
Maybe currently, children do gelilla because they cannot lift the Sefer Torah. I don’t think it is an embarrassment as in the olden times הגולל נוטל שכר כולן, Megilla 32, gelilah was greater than everything. Dressing the Sefer Torah is a great zechus.
They say people get what they deserve. Trump had no government experience at all, so he was never suited for the position.
Like the ארון, spiritual not be satisfied when looking at someone greater than you, whereas like the שולחן, physical be satisfied as there are people who have less than you.
AAQ, are you for real?
It says בשמים ממעל ועל הארץ מתחת, the heaven above and earth below. Isn’t this obvious? Says the Kli Yakar that when it comes to heavenly, spritual things look at people above you, who are greater than you to learn from them, whereas by material, physical things, look at people below you, so you will be satisfied with what you have.
Participant, your joke is a tragic joke of the demonstration of antisemitism.
What the common sense person says above is in Wikipedia. The mother named her so to get ahead in the acting field and she is not Jewish. Whoopie is named after a whoopie cushion.
What about the standing filibuster?
ubi, your question is an old question. The solution was the Great Compromise where two houses were created in Congress, one with equal representation, the Senate and the other by population, the House.
If the filibuster requires standing and talking as it used to be, there will be less filibuster.She is ignorant. She does not realize that the nazis considered themselves as the Arian race.
The filibuster has made the senate obstructionist, so if you want something done, you have no choice.
Filters can be controlled what to block and what not.
The Midrash compares the mishkan to a king who married off his daughter. He felt bad that he cannot be close to her. So he built a hut close to her and said wherever you go I always will be near you. Hashem gave us the Torah. he wants to stay close to it, so commanded us to built a mishkan to be able to be close to us having the Torah. The mishkan is from cedar wood standing firm to remember the Torah and not to sway from it. If we don’t keep the Torah, Hashem escapes from our shul as there is no reason to stay close to us.
The way it should be chosen by looking at all candidates, white or black and men or women, by putting a weight on qualities and if the total weight is equal, we can choose a black women.
