The Targum says that that the ability of speech was blown into him. Maybe the neshama gives the ability of speech.
Why not the third? Aren’t the third mazim the second?
We don’t give a standing ovation for killing people for whatever reason.
There is a difference between socialism and communism.
hero from the dictionary:
a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities
You don’t give a standing ovation if you don’t consider him a hero.
standing ovation from Merriam Webster Dictionary:
an occurrence in which the people at a play, speech, sporting event, etc., stand up and applaud to show enthusiastic approval or appreciation
He was given a standing ovation by the Republicans making him a hero.
Why isn’t the first pair afraid that a second pair will come and be mazim them and therefore will be careful what they say as the second pair? The gemora says it is a chidush. Why trust the second pair more than the first?
The Rif at the end Eruvin says that Bavli and Yerusalmi argue, we pasken like Bavli because the Bavli came after it and would know what it was saying. I pointed out the Yabia Omer above who discusses the time of Rebbe Yeshuah ben Perachaya in great detail.
The Moshav Zekeinim gives another reason. The executed’s family might have such strong hatred in their heart against the witnesses who killed him to get another two witnesses to be mazim them therefore hazoma will not work when killed. There is a midrash that says velo kaasher asa.
There is an other limud. zomam leachiv, achiv kayem, means the brother is alive. So they ask even dead is called a brother? The Ritva answers there are two kinds of brothers, A real brother is called so even after death but this a brother in mitzvos which only applies when alive.
First, what is the difference between eidei hakchasha, contradictory witnesses where they can testify separately and eidim zomemin where they get killed? By eidei hackhasha their taina, the agreement of their argument is being questioned whereas by eidim zomimin, indicating that they were together somewhere else at the time, the credibility of the witnesses is eliminated. The chidush is that we trust the second witnesses and not the first. When the individual was killed, the Ramban explains that Hashem would not have led to kill him and trust the first witnesses by the Beis Din when they were not honest and credible, so kaasher zomam does not apply. The Dubner Magid gives a mashel. Someone slapped someone, so the Beis Din rules to slap him back. He says it is not fair, I was slapped innocently and he is slapped when guilty. So once killed is not kaasher zomam, is not tit for tat. By a gamal poreach, a fast flying camel, an airplane where the trip can be made the same day, they should not become eidim zomemin.
Mod, what you are saying does not make any sense. Maybe there is a router where everything received goes to one address.
The Chezkuni mentioned above is quoted from Pirkei d’Rebbi Eliezer 51.
Maybe not all comes out.
The malachim wanted the hidden treasure, the secrets hidden in the Torah, so Moshe Rabbenu told them that if the simple understanding does not apply they cannot receive that either. The Ben Ish Chai illustrates this with a mashel. A father who had multiple children. He bought one of them a special suit which has precious stones and jewelry sewn into it. They all agreed that whoever gets the suit gets the valuables in it but the question was who it was intended for? The youngest one gets up and says, let’s try it on see who it fits?
The Chasam Sofer explains that in order to be mechadesh something in the Torah we have to put the effort into it through kashyes by revealing the hidden buried treasures. The haflah says that a kashye is a divine intervention, a siyata dishmaya. He gives a mashel to a simpleton who was given a diamond. He thinks, what can I do with it? So, he goes to a goldsmith, as he likes gold, he tells to cover it in gold. As he was no expert in the field, he left some holes behind. The simpleton sees the gold but the smart one sees the diamond under the gold which gets revealed through the kashyes.As stated above the neshama was blown in through the nose, so it would be blown out through the nose.
A sneeze might need an immune system as bacteria is being released and infect on the way out.
shlucha22, you have the best answer.
They say that people too protected from illness are more apt to get sick as the immune system is not built up to fight it.
המטה is gematria 59 indicating when a sick person is visited 1/60 is taken away. The gemora in Nedorim 30, asks then 60 people will take away the whole illness. The gemora answers 1/60 of what is left over. Tosfas explains that it only applies to ben gilo, his mazel.
The Klei Yakar explains the reason why an am haaretz is not allowed to eat meat. What makes him better than an animal? The learning of the Torah and that is why Noach was allowed meat. He knew the difference between animals to sacrifice, whereas Adam Harishon is not clearly seen that he learned Torah, so he was not allowed to eat meat.
A tourist comes from Hebrew word tur as losur.
Vayechi
The difference between Yaakov and Yisrael the Rabbenu Bachaya explains that life of Yaakov refers to the physical and coming of death of Yisrael to the spiritual.
The above Magen Avraham says that the order is after sneezing that first the one hearing it says asuse, to your health then he answers baruch tihyeh, bless be you and after that he says the pasuk to himself. As first he has to pray for others to get answered first.
מגן אברהם סימן רל ס”ק ו
‘מי שמתעטש וחבירו א”ל אסותא יאמר לו ברוך תהיה ואח”כ יאמר לישועתך קויתי ה
דהמתפלל על חבירו הוא נענ’ תחלה יש”ש ב”ק פ”ח סי’ ס”דQANON and Trump won the election. Neither of them do I believe in.
AAQ, We have a special obligation to pursue a meis mitzva, a mitzva neglected.
1080 is not divisible by 16 and 32.
Even when getting sick, sometimes people pass away suddenly, so everyday we still must do teshuva. We should always see it as this is our last day and a reprieve was given to us by returning the day to us.
I usually say it.
The Chezkuni on Breishis (48,1) says that before Yaakov Avinu there was no illness. Wherever a person was, he would sneeze and then passed away. Yaakov Avinu prayed for illness to prepare for one’s passing.
The Magen Avraham says that when one sneezes, he should say ‘לשועתך קויתי ה, I hope for Your help and then the people say, to your health. Labriuth, Gesuntheit, or Naz Dravye in Russian or Polish as a thanks for being alive.That is an 1/1080 of an hour.
The Ben Ish Chai gives a mashel to realize that the real treasure is the Torah. The father, to make his plants grow nicely where rain is scarce, had an irrigation canal which he would dig out from rocks and pebbles periodically to ensure that water could flow without any obstruction. When dying, he commanded his sons to dig out the ditch as a treasure is buried in it. The brothers followed the fathers instructions but did not find any treasure. They surmised that the father was not by his mind at the time he commanded them. Later, when they saw how everything grew nicely compared to others, they realized what the father meant by the treasure. The Torah is like the water flowing but sometimes it gets stuffed up, so we have work on it to allow the water to flow without any obstruction makes trees grow that bear beautiful fruits. באר חפרוה שרים The Torah is compared to a well that was dug out by rulers over their bad inclinations כרוה נדיבי עם those who learn Torah lishmo, for its own sake with the help of Moshe Rabbenu.
The five rules of shechita make sure that no pain occurs.
Mentioned in Sefer Shevil Harakia we find one of the most interesting gematrios:
החדש הזה לכם ראש חדשים ראשון הוא לכם לחדשי השנה adds up to 2658 the same as כמה תשעה ועשרים יום ומחצה ותשצג חלקים
how much 12 1/2 days and 793 chalokim (from one molad to another) where a chelek is 1/1080.
1080 is divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12.15,16,18,20,24,30,32,36As the Torah forbids cruelty to animals (tzaar baalei chaim), it has been shown that our shechita is the most humane way to kill them without any pain.
There is one more dechiya, pushing Rosh Hashana to the next day, if the molad of Tishri would be in the afternoon of the day that Rosh Hashana would have been designated. By any other Rosh Chodash we would make two days Rosh Chodash and count the next month from the second day but by Rosh Hashana we count Tishri from the first day.
ubi, you are right.
For Hungarians, there is a book called The Politics of GENOCIDE, The Holocaust in Hungary by Randolph L. Braham, 1998, which describes the deportation.
When I was born in the beginning of 5748 (1948), my father z’l was taken into custody. He reported someone making anti-Semitic speeches. Originally he was called in as witness and found an excuse for not appearing. However then he had no excuse and two policemen came to get him.
