Reb EliezerParticipant
Lostspark, this happened in Nevardak where there greatness was how they saw themselves as nothing compared to Slabodka where they looked at their potential through their great neshama. When a bachur arrived tp Nevardak. he saw the others say that they are nothing. so he followed them and was told, who are you to say you are nothing?

Reb EliezerParticipanter, I agree that voting Democratic does not mean you agree with everything.

Reb EliezerParticipantit is koko-osh written in Hungarian as kakaos.
January 31, 2022 12:54 pm at 12:54 pm in reply to: Joe Biden is not the 46th President of the United States of America. #2056363Reb EliezerParticipantWhen Spiro Agnew resigned, Nixon appointed Gerard Ford as his Vice President. When Richard Nixon resigned, Ford became President and appointed Nelson Rockefeller as his Vice President. When running again, Ford dropped Rockefeller for Bob Dole and lost the election to Jimmy Carter, so Ford was never elected President or Vice President.

January 31, 2022 9:22 am at 9:22 am in reply to: Danger of Talking on Cellphone When Driving!! #2056298Reb EliezerParticipantAs it is written nafshoseichem in plural rather than nafshosecha, it is not only a responsibility protect yourself but also to protect others.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Hungarians have a joke, what is the difference between Lot’s wife and solet (pronounced sholet), the answer is nothing they both became salt. The meaning in Hungarian as chulent is pronounced is solet meaning became salt as ‘so’ means salt and ‘let’ means became.
January 31, 2022 9:20 am at 9:20 am in reply to: What Steps Will the Charedi World Take to Try to Prevent Abuse #2056285Reb EliezerParticipantThe RMA n YD 333 says that we put one in cherem without regard to the consequences by going OTD.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Dubner Maggid with the above reply #2054338 explains the mishna in Pirkei Avos שלי שלך, שלך שלך חסיד. If mine is yours isn’t obvious that your is yours? So he says that a person, when in question, is willing to give up his by saying mine is yours because he wants to be sure that the other person’s belongings stay with him. and his is his.
January 28, 2022 1:31 pm at 1:31 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Mishpatim – Soul-Snatching: Rav Shimon Schwab #2055741Reb EliezerParticipantMaybe that is what King Solomon means חנוך לנער לפי דרכו, raise your child according to his needs and not yours. Don’t kidnap his abilities to satisfy your needs.
January 28, 2022 9:36 am at 9:36 am in reply to: Mods, I know Im a handful, but I have lots of fun here #2055701Reb EliezerParticipantAlso, get a spell checker.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhite supremacist hate Jews as well as blacks who are not from the Arian race. sticka kehodoa, when Trump does not speak out against them, he gives them the impression that he agrees with them and strength to strive.

Reb EliezerParticipantThe mishna in the beginning of Bava Kama enumerates four means of causing harm. They can also be interpreted spiritually. The ox standing erectly, gaiva, the digging of a pit, being in the pits, sinning through the mouth, fire of desire, taiva. These mainly contribute to our sins.
Reb EliezerParticipantHe is completely narcissistic who has not stood up against white supremacists because he would have lost their votes. Only showed concern towards his rich cronies with his tax cuts by enriching the already rich corporations. He wanted to overturn the election by choosing false electors through storming the Capitol because he did not like the results.
Reb EliezerParticipantIn my time, I got a transfer to another bus which I would not get if not paid or the bus card has the payment on it, so the transfer was not required.
Reb EliezerParticipantA person can judge his own behavior with the interpretation of Rav Nasson Adler ztz’l as quoted by the talmid, the Chasam Sofer. כי יתן איש אל רעיהו כסף או כלים לשמור Hashem (being referred to as Ish) gives a person money and kelim, utensils (eyes, ears, mouth) to guard וגונב מבית האיש and he steals it away from Hashem by using it for his own purpose rather than doing mitzvos. אם ימצא הגנב ישלם שנים if he is found guilty by judgement Above, one pays double, one, for not listening and two, for not letting Hashem do good to him. אם לא ימצא הגנב, if he repents through love, so the sin gets completely erased, ונקרב בעל הבית אל האלקים, he brings himself closer to Hashem, more than if he never sinned, provided אם לא שלח ידו במלאכת רעיהו, if he did not violate sins of ben adam lechavero, personal inter- relationships.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe have a saf, siyan and samech, otherwise how would we write כסילים מתי תשכילו when we the fools understand.
Reb EliezerParticipantJudgement from Above is mentioned by Rashi 21,13. Two individuals where one killed intentionally and other unintentionally and there are no witnesses for either one. Hashem invites them to one motel. The one who killed intentionally sleeps in a bunkbed below and other above. The one from above falls on the one from below and kills him with witnesses. Now, the one above goes to orei miklat, to exile and the one below got killed.
Reb EliezerParticipanttongue
Reb EliezerParticipantIt says תפילה בלא כוונה כגוף בלא נשמה, tefila without kavana is like a body without a soul.
Reb EliezerParticipantIsaiah Hanavi calls it mitzvos anashim melumadim, done from route without thinking when tefila is called avoda shebelev, work from the heart. The work is to have the proper kavonos, thoughts.
January 24, 2022 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm in reply to: What Steps Will the Charedi World Take to Try to Prevent Abuse #2054302Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, as a rebbe, you must agree that yeshiva boys must be educated of the great sin of motzei shem ra to accuse some one for abuse. Having them realize that it is not a game and the consequences it causes to the accused and the false accuser.
Reb EliezerParticipantWolf, getting a MBA does not make you an apikores. It actually makes us understand a mishna in Bava Metzia. It says הזהב קונה את הכסף, gold acquires silver because silver becomes the currency and gold a commodity. Why? Gresham’s Law says, bad money drives out good money from circulation. The bad money here is silver which becomes currency, being spent and gold will be horded and not spent becoming a commodity.
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard that we start shmonei esrai by saying, Hashem open up my mouth to be able to utter your praises. Then, all we do is to ask for our needs. Where is the praise? The fact that we turn to Hashem to ask only from Him to fulfil or wishes is the praise. Wolf, so it is self understood that if you praised your mother is because of she being your mother and her abilities to raise you to be shomrei Torah umitzvos came from Hashem.
Reb EliezerParticipantAvira, shouldn’t it be OC 307 as 317 has to do with tying knots?
January 23, 2022 3:31 pm at 3:31 pm in reply to: What Steps Will the Charedi World Take to Try to Prevent Abuse #2053765Reb EliezerParticipantLook at sota. She acted questionably and she has to prove herself innocent. What caused the accusation to this individual?
Reb EliezerParticipantEJMRBro, It is one thing to pointed out as people make mistakes and another lehachis not to the follow it especially when others also pointed it out. You wanted to become a writer.
January 23, 2022 2:14 pm at 2:14 pm in reply to: Can Someone Help Me Understand Why Biden’s Approval Rating is so Low? #2053756Reb EliezerParticipantPeople only look at results. It does not matter that the Senate is obstructing him and he is unable to live up to his promises. What have you done for me lately?
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a mesorah הלוך ונסוע, הלוך וחסור, הלוך ובכו, for learning, if one travels, then he will lose and at the end he will be crying.
January 23, 2022 1:02 pm at 1:02 pm in reply to: What Steps Will the Charedi World Take to Try to Prevent Abuse #2053714Reb EliezerParticipantHow do we know that one accused was falsely accused as people should know the great issur of motzei shem ra and its effects? Don’t we have to be suspicious?
Reb EliezerParticipantEJMRBro, are you such an anav who does not capitalize his ‘i’s however, when quoting from someone else, you can do it.
Reb EliezerParticipantAren’t you questioning the Daf Hayomi?
Reb EliezerParticipantWe can learn mussar from the goyim by how they run after a ball to run after a mitzva. We see this from Bilom when he bridled the donkey and was told that Avraham Avinu already did that, so he will not get any reward for his diligence.
January 23, 2022 10:07 am at 10:07 am in reply to: Rabbanim/Jewish Doctors who tell stories about other people in a public speech #2053685Reb EliezerParticipantThe stories to learn from should be told without mentioning any names.
Reb EliezerParticipantTrump down played the virus.
Reb EliezerParticipantHow many deaths is Trump responsible?

January 21, 2022 2:50 pm at 2:50 pm in reply to: What Steps Will the Charedi World Take to Try to Prevent Abuse #2053329Reb EliezerParticipantPhil, I misspoke, I did not mean a guarantee. I meant as you pointed out, a tendency.
January 21, 2022 2:50 pm at 2:50 pm in reply to: Mods, I know Im a handful, but I have lots of fun here #2053335Reb EliezerParticipantFollow the Rules of Grammar by adding an apostrophe to show possession or when combining words. Also capitalize your topic title when appropriate.
Reb EliezerParticipantYou missed the point. Don’t eliminate the filibuster completely but only for the this time of voting rights make it harder to filibuster by having to talk for the duration.
January 21, 2022 2:08 pm at 2:08 pm in reply to: What Steps Will the Charedi World Take to Try to Prevent Abuse #2053305Reb EliezerParticipantReb Moshe, ztz’l says to read veshinantom osom as veshinantem atem indicating that when we learn, our children, through seeing it, will also learn. I heard, הליכות עולם אל תקראו הליכות אלא הלכות, people learn how to behave from one’s behavior.
Reb EliezerParticipantWolf, Master’s degree in what?
Reb EliezerParticipantThe problem is that they don’t know that we follow the mother and therefore think they are Jewish. BTW to understand why we follow the mother, I think, by creating something knew like a Jew, we go after the mother as yesh eim lamikro, but once determined Jewish, we follow the father, binyan av as a kohen, levi or yisrael.
January 21, 2022 1:41 pm at 1:41 pm in reply to: What Steps Will the Charedi World Take to Try to Prevent Abuse #2053277Reb EliezerParticipantParents should raise children such that they should not be afraid to speak their mind to them. Abused parents will abuse children. A parable to understand the Abarbanel on honoring parents is where a father provided a wooden plate to his father, afraid being feeble and break it. When the grandfather passed on, the father wanted to discard it. His son told him, father don’t throw it out we need it for you. Children see how their parents behave and tend to follow them. If you honor your parents, your children will honor you and thereby have long life.
Reb EliezerParticipantHe did mention thanking for prayer alluding to thanking G-d who listened to the prayer.
January 21, 2022 11:23 am at 11:23 am in reply to: How do i become a writer for yeshiva world #2053156Reb EliezerParticipantThe Oxford comma can be forgiven as usually the sentence can be rephrased. AAQ, aren’t you preaching water but drinking wine with the word “and”?
January 21, 2022 11:23 am at 11:23 am in reply to: How do i become a writer for yeshiva world #2053148Reb EliezerParticipantAlso, capitalizing titles of topics when proper. When combining words inserting the apostrophe between them e.g. I’m instead of Im.
