Even though I thank Hashem that I was born afterwards, I experienced some of it. I heard stories constantly of my parents experiences seeing my father z’l crying when he talked about his wife and two daughters killed in Aucshwitz. I visited my father’s labor camp at Mauthausen, Austria when being around 10 years old, and seeing the lookout towers, prisons and crematorium ovens. I heard my mother a’h tell stories of her working for I.G. Farben filling grenades.
The above szombat is pronounced sombot like ‘all’ at the end. Hetfo is pronounced heit and the german Ostreich in the beginning for Austria at the end. Het means week and fo means head like fej meaning head of the week.
Shabbos in Hungarian is Szombat and Monday is called Hetfo meaning start of the week with umlauts on both vowels.
The climate changes through the seasons determined by the sun whereas Jewish holidays are determined through the moon. Pesach is spring and Sukkos fall time causes a Jewish leap year 7 times in 19 years in order that lunar year having normally 354 days and the solar year 365 1/4 days even itself out. The mnemonic is guchadzut, 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, 19 year in 19 years becomes a Jewish leap year. A calendar is available in the Tur after siman 428 which enumerates each of the 19 years determined by Cheshvan and Kislev if they are deficient, both 29 days, full, both 30 days or even one 29 days and the other 30 days. The rest of the months cycle between 29 and 30 days. 6×29 + 6×30 = 174 + 180 = 354 days. The variation of the two months above causes the movement of Rosh Hashanah as Adu lo Rosh, the Rosh Hashanah cannot fall on Wednesday or Friday. Rosh Hashanah cannot be on a Sunday in order Hashanah Rabba should not fall on a shabbos eliminating the knocking off the hashanas and Yom Kippur should not be next to shabbos in order that there should not be two consecutive days where work is not allowed.
The Haflaah gives another answer. Avraham Avinu worked on motzei shabbos. Figure out the answer.
ujm, thanks for straighten him out.
Health, you are against democracy. Maybe you should go Russia which you will like better than the US. Go to the real thing rather than like Putin.
Goldilocks, thank you for your correction. Shavuos is the day after Pesach (ב’ש) and not after Rosh Hashana.
The Purim before Pesach is the sixth day of Pesach and Purim and Lag Baomer fall the same day.
Go to Chasan Sofer and Wiener now and then tell me they are not chasiddish. When I went, we were taught Rav Chaim by Rav Simcha Bunim ztz’l but the yeshivas were more chasiddish than litvish.
Pandro is another name for Yeshu.
If he is not Jewish, what does carrying mean? Maybe he should carry it as a Non-Jew is forbidden to keep shabbos. Avraham Avinu wore tzitzis, so if he is Jewish, it is not carrying but if he is not Jewish, than he would be carrying.
Why send him to a yeshiva to be in daled amos of halacha if they don’t believe in it?
What is a yeshivish upbringing? Did I have a yeshivish upbringing? I went to chasiddish yeshivas.As indicated before:
If Pesach is on shabbos, so Rosh Hashana will be Monday so is Sukkos, the first and last days.
Yom Kippur on Wednesday and Shavuos Tuesday.
When Pesach is on Thursday, Rosh Hashana will be Shabbos, so is Sukkos.
Yom Kippur is Monday and Shavuos on Friday,
When Pesach is on Tuesday, Rosh Hashana will be Thursday and so is Sukkos,
Yom Kippur is Shabbos and Shavuos Wednesday,
When Pesach is on Sunday, Rosh Hashana is Tuesday and so is Sukkos.
Yom Kippur is Thursday and Shavuios on Monday.When Meadows will be held for contempt will see who are the political hacks. Trump needed the National Guards to protect the inciters not the legislators or the VP.
My father z’l got inflicted with typhus in the labor camp Mauthausen requiring him to relearn how to walk and got healed from it.
My father’s z’l first wife and his 2 children were sent in Auschwitz to the left but my mother a’h being a sister of his wife, 32 years old single and strong was sent to the right to be put to work. She twice followed them to the left and a German soldier pushed her back to the right.
Pwkak, it is in the above quoted news article reply #2041307
See the shaila also about using the secular date in Yabia Omer Chelek 3, YD 9
Pesach reveals all other holidays, see SA O’CH 428,3.
אדו לא ראש Rosh Hashana cannot fall on Sunday because then Hashana Rabba would fall on shahbbos and knocking down the hoshanas would be eliminated. It cannot fall on Wednesday or Friday as we cannot have to consecutive days were no work can be done. So Yom Kippur cannot fall on Friday or Sunday respectively and as a consequence בדו לא פסח.So Pesach will tell us all other holidays, see SA O’CH 428,3 by using reverse aleph beis א’ת, ב’ש, ג’ד, ד’ק, ה’צ, ו’פ and פל’ג.
I heard a joke where a Rav said that he took a Pfizer vaccine instead of a Moderna as he does not want to be influenced by it.
Why can’t Hashem designate the bashert/basherte at the time of gerus?
This is a true conversion.
Both my son and daughter were adopted and converted as a baby. The Rav did not provide the letter of conversion until they became obligated to do mitzvos as until then they might have the option to revert back. My son is 37 and my daughter 35 being both shabbos observant married with children Torah following Jews. They went to Yeshiva and Seminary.
I live in Staten Island, NY for over 44 years.
For the Siyum of Tanis.
The Jews are sitting in a circle and Hashem is the middle and they are pointing to Him recognizing that He is the only One who can redeem us.
Why a circle?
It says Hear o’ Israel Hashem our God is Hashem, One. It also says who is like your nation Yisrael one nation.We will show that they are both the same one.
The kedusha through the center has a magnetic affect by pulling the circle towards the center making the circle smaller and smaller, uniting the points and eventually coinciding with the center. Also, the holy Zohar says that Yisrael and the Torah with Hashem kavayachel is one. Through the observance of the Torah we become united, making the circle smaller and coinciding with the center.The baalei asifa, the collectors of Divrei Torah are like bees collecting the honey.
If the table is like a miizbeach, how can we place honey on it? The honey used for Rosh Hashana is bee honey and what is forbidden on the mizbeach is dates honey.
In Hungarian Sunday is called shopping day. Most probably because people are free to shop.

The Satmar Rav in his sefer Al Hageula Val Hatmura says that sometimes the chitzonim make miracles in order to fool us. Aharon Hakohen placed a sheet of gold in fire and an eigal appeared.
There is a very interesting story in the in Beis Hamedrash quoted by Otzar Hamedroshim from Eisenstein about Shimon Keifa also known as St. Peter who built a tower and only showed himself once a year. He was a double agent. He made himself look like he is for Yeshu in order to gain confidence and then was able to sway them away from him.
From Bar Ilan the gemora I referred to above:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת סנהדרין דף מג עמוד א
/מכאן ועד סוף הקטע השלמה של השמטת הצנזורה/ והתניא: בערב הפסח תלאוהו לישו הנוצרי, והכרוז יוצא לפניו ארבעים יום: ישו הנוצרי יוצא ליסקל על שכישף והסית והדיח את ישראל, כל מי שיודע לו זכות יבוא וילמד עליו. ולא מצאו לו זכות ותלאוהו בערב הפסח. – אמר עולא: ותסברא, ישו הנוצרי בר הפוכי זכות הוא? מסית הוא, ורחמנא אמר לא תחמל ולא תכסה עליו! אלא שאני ישו דקרוב למלכות הוה. תנו רבנן: חמשה תלמידים היו לו לישו הנוצרי, מתאי, נקאי נצר ובוני ותודה. אתיוה למתי, אמר להו: מתי יהרג? הכתיב מתי אבוא ואראה פני אלהים! – אמרו לו: אין, מתי יהרג דכתיב מתי ימות ואבד שמו. אתיוה לנקאי, אמר להו: נקאי יהרג? הכתיב ונקי וצדיק אל תהרג! – אמרו לו: אין, נקאי יהרג, דכתיב במסתרים יהרג נקי. אתיוה לנצר, אמר: נצר יהרג? הכתיב ונצר משרשיו יפרה! – אמרו לו: אין, נצר יהרג, דכתיב ואתה השלכת מקברך כנצר נתעב. אתיוה לבוני, אמר: בוני יהרג? הכתיב בני בכרי ישראל! – אמרו לו: אין, בוני יהרג, דכתיב הנה אנכי הורג את בנך בכרך. אתיוה לתודה, אמר: תודה יהרג?
הכתיב מזמור לתודה! – אמרו לו: אין, תודה יהרג, דכתיב זבח תודה יכבדנני.+Anyway it is paskened to still dip the challah on the other side also into salt.
