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.
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.
