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.
תלמוד בבלי מסכת סנהדרין דף סז עמוד א
וכן עשו לבן סטדא בלוד, ותלאוהו בערב הפסח. – בן סטדא? בן פנדירא הוא! – אמר רב חסדא: בעל – סטדא, בועל – פנדירא. – בעל פפוס בן יהודה הוא! – אלא: אמו סטדא. –
אמו מרים מגדלא נשיא הואי! – כדאמרי בפומבדיתא: סטת דא מבעלהתלמוד בבלי מסכת שבת דף קד עמוד ב
המסרט על בשרו. תניא, אמר להן רבי אליעזר לחכמים: והלא בן סטדא הוציא כשפים
ממצרים בסריטה שעל בשרו! אמרו לו: שוטה היה, ואין מביאין ראיה מן השוטים
+/מכאן, קטע שהושמט מפני הצנזורה/ בן סטדא? בן פנדירא הוא! – אמר רב חסדא:
בעל – סטדא, בועל – פנדירא. – בעל פפוס בן יהודה הוא! – אלא, אמו סטדא. – אמו
מרים מגדלא שער נשיא הואי! – אלא, כדאמרי בפומבדיתא סטת דא מבעלה.+I made a mistake above. It should be forty days instead of thirty days before his judgement.
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.
They say that there is an air conditioner in the gehinom but it does not work and it cannot be fixed.
There is a known gemora in Sanhedrin about erev pesach on ישו, known as an acronym, hanotzri being announced thirty days before to provide defense for him and a play on the name of the apostles that was censured out.
Could be that we only fast on Asara Beteveis on yom shishi as Rebbi Yochanan himself said by Tisha Beav, אתחלתא דפרעניות עדיף, the start of the punishment is greater. The destruction of the Beis Hamikdash emanated 30 moths later from the siege of Jerusalem. We even would have to fast on shabbos if it could fall on it.
The Kohen would not come first in that case but only to avoid machlokes he always is called up first, so by pikuach nefesh the talmid chacham would certainly come first.
We ask Hashem to make the Torah sweeter than honey to us. Eating honey brings to a desire for more. If one understands the Torah, it should generate a desire for more learning. The Torah learning should bring us joy. BTW, your ‘then’ is misspelled as you don’t mean that you want honey afterwards.
HaLeiVi, we are not talking about the feeling through the act of touching where it describes the verb but where a sense with no act is involved. To me saying, I feel well means that when I touch something I can feel the item I am touching.
Avira, I agree the extra mitzvos make him mekudash, sanctified over her. He is not born as kadosh. The GRA says that the father through his circumcision sacrifices his son as a korban after the eight day but she does not need it.
Maybe, it starts from the mitzvos. Since the woman has less mitzvos as the Kol Bo, he becomes more holy from her and not vice versa that because he is holier he has more mitzvos.
The 10 martyrs certainly died al kiddush Hashem.
The Rambam’s view by kadima is not because of holiness but because of the number of mitzvos. Rav Moshe ztz’l paskens because of holiness.
I received the flu shot when I also received the COVID booster.. Refuah Shelema. BTW It should be feel good and not feel well which refers to feeling with the hand.
I said the Chasan Sofer in Benoyus Beromo.
This is Rav Moshe’s view but the Kol Bo says that women are patur of time dependent commandments as their first responsibility is to their husband and family.
The gemora Berochos 33, says גדולה דעת שניתן בין שמות שנאמר א-ל דעות השם, understanding is great which was given between to shemos El and Hashem. My Rebbi, Rav Shmuel ztz’l, the Matersdorfer Rav explains that when both individuals utter the name of Hashem, we need special understanding to be able to differentiate who is true in one’s belief and who is fake and says it just to look good and be respected. We make havdala in the bracha of ata chonen, understanding as understanding is required to differentiate,
They did not know if conversion would have helped and therefore, they could have converted and were killed Al Kiddush Hashem.
541 is the same as gematria of the word ישראל. Some interpret it as the chelek alokai mimaal, neshama that brings one tם the next world and we need the cooperation of all Jews, כהן, לוי, ישראל. The Chasan Sofer explains that one can feel the taste of olam habo, the next world in this world as shabbos and other mitzvos and that is the meaning of yesh over yihyeh besides the shay, 310 worlds.
inquisitive, I am sorry about your experiences but you can have your cake and eat it. People who dress up and behave properly should be respected. The Chasam Sofer did not require the growing of a beard. The Rambam in Hilchas Yesodei Hatorah (5,11) says that a talmid chacham generates an expected behavior. If he does not live up to it, it becomes a chilul Hashem.
This is called by the holy Zohar nehameh dekesufa, bread of shame. That is the reason why the neshama comes to this world to earn its keep and not get a free handout.
The Chasam Sofer stood up against the maskilim and was able to protect the yeshivas. He believed that we cannot sit by and learn when they are in danger. Rav Moshe’s psak of accommodating is tailored towards his audience of Lita who were influenced there.
The sound is more like zsh for Jozsef.
The Yeshiva of Volozhin got closed when the Russian government interfered into the Hebrew education.
For Josef the proper spelling in Hungarian should be Jozsef. The sound is something like Jack.
Yes
Yes, one gains a neshama and the same time a bashert/basherte is designated.
In Hungarian the spelling would be pronounced as Yoshef.
philosopher, look at reply # 2039928
The separation of church and state for us Jews is one of the most important laws on the books as it forbids the state to force on us any religion.
CS, it is written as Gyongyi. See howtopronounce dot com/gyongyi, who is named after pearls.
smerel, your words are a little confusing. I think you mean that once a state provides any funding for private schools.
