There is an issur not to harm, cut oneself but than how can we do milah? So, if the benefit is greater than the loss, it is mutar. The woman feels bad about herself, but the plastic surgery makes her feel good.
I don’t remember the context as it was a long time ago. I went to the Yeshiva Chasan Sofer from
5723 – 5728 lemisporom 63 – 68. He might have repeated some Torah bashem amro, from him.See Yoma 86,1, ואהבת – שתהיה שם שמים מתאהב על ידך, love Hashem Yisborach such that He will be blessed through your actions and behavior. People will also bless their parents, yeshiva, them and vice versa.
ujm, he never said anything bad about him.
ujm, how do I know that as long they protect me from COVID.
I was matched up through a plumber who worked by both parties. My wife a’h and myself created a shidduch where the union is still standing strong.
My rebbi, Rav Simcha Bunim Ehrenfeld, Mattersdorfer Rav ztzl referred to him as Rav Yoshev Ber ztz’l
and the Beis Haleivi having the same name.I got a Pfizer booster shot after 7 months of getting a J&J shot and a flu shot.
ujm, do you put the Jewish year on a check? The suggestion is not to use numbers for months but the abbreviation of its secular name and just use the last two digits of the year.
Let us not forget extra Torah learning as zos reminds us of זאת התורה.
We can daven for not open nisim as one’s parnasa because someone seeing the menorah would not know that a neis occurred. Maybe he poured everyday a full pitcher of oil into it. Therefore, it is an obligation on us to publicize it.
The woman has a right to choose within the confines of the Torah as the well as the man.
When it comes to a vaccine mandate, one’s reason not to vaccinate must be truly fully evaluated as it affects not only them but also everyone else they come in contact with becoming a question of לא תעמוד על דם רעך, cause no harm to others. The mandate is a last resort to encourage people to vaccinate.
BY1212, thank you for showing knowledge and understanding on the subject and as the many different circumstances determine the halacha, one should ask their LOR before turning to action.
GH, my father z’l was involved to help emigrate families from Hungary, so he helped the Miller family to leave Hungary and we ended up in a DP camp together in Austria.
GH, speaking of youtube, if you search there for lipa macarena, you can hear Lipa Schmeltzer singing at their wedding to my son, Dovi and his kallah, Gabriella Eishes Chayil 11 years ago for the Mitzva Tanz.
It says in Pirkei Avos, איזהו חכם הלומד מכל אדם, who is wise who can learn from everyone even from Acher as Rebbi Meir did, who was able to eat the fruit and throw away the pit or the shells. However, we can only learn from someone who we can respect and look up to in appreciation like an angel.
Anyway, electric menorahs is a problem of lacking a shiur, so people might think that this is being lit for the mitzva even if one is lighting correctly inside.
I heard once from the badchen Rav Yaakov Miller Shlita to explain the passage in Aishes Chayil. It says
פיה פתחה בחכמה, she opens her mouth in wisdom ותורת חסד על לשונה as Torah of favor is on her tongue.
The man has a mitzva to know the logic of Torah, so the yetzer hara interferes in its accomplishment.
So. he cannot start with wisdom but with sharp funny insights into Torah. However, the woman has no direct mitzva to learn Torah but only to know how to perform her obligations to do her mitzvos. Her learning is a favor to Hashem and thereby there is no yetzer hara to interfere in her learning. She can directly, in mitzvos she is responsible, start with learning the wisdom of Torah.As by closing a door and a deer gets caught, when done to protect the house it is not a pesik reishe.
The Rashba explains that if only an issur happens then even if not mechaven for it is a pesik reishe but if a heter can also happen and you are mechaven for the heter then if the issur happens it is not a pesik reishe.This is the topic being discussed and does not mention what the chilul shabbos is.
See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/2037067/south-african-chief-rabbi-protests-forced-chillul-shabbos-in-letter-to-pm.htmlIf I read correctly they were saved by Palestinian Authority Security Forces who gave them over to the IDF. This was a neis:
AAQ, very funny but according to the Beis Shamai, Chanukah is against Parei Hachag, to commemorate the destruction of the goyim which should be done on Sukkos.
The man was created to do mitzvos as the other brochos reflect but the woman was created for the benefit of the man to protect him from the yetzer hara and to have children. The Sefer Peninim Yekorim explains that by the Yofas Toar, Rashi says that the Torah is ‘only’ talking against the yetzer hara and not saying that the Torah is talking against the yetzer hara. As having children does not apply as the Yofas Toar will give birth to a ben sorer umoreh, who revolts against the parents, so the only reason to marry her is to protect him from the yetzer hara.
mendyonline, who says that allows you to endanger your health by destroying your body? The Taz says that Chanukah no sudah is required but lehodas ulehalel, thanking and praising, as they were endangered spiritually and not physically whereas on Purim they were saved from getting killed. We eat those foods for the oil by emphasizing the importance of oil. Also, cheese blintzes is eaten as their salvation came through cheese. The salty cheese caused the Greek general to get thirsty, drink wine thereby getting drunk and falling asleep, allowing Yehudis to behead him.
We should respect them and not denigrate them. However, we are also not mechiyuv to pull their wagon by following their hashkafa.
The Chasam Sofer explains what we say, I should not stumble and my friends rejoice. So he asks, how can the friends be happy on his mistake? He answers that they are happy that he did not stay by his mistake because they were there at the right time to correct him. So one asks Hashem that they should not need to correct him and rejoice because he will not make a mistake.
Where was the humility of Rav Yosef? The meforshim say that when one says that he is humble without any hargasha, feeling of greatness is true humility.
By Nevardak they said ich bin garnisht, I am nothing. So a bachur came to the yeshiva and said so. He was told you are not at that level yet. However, in Slabadka they emhasized the potential of a Jew being able to elevate himself as Yosef’s dream shteiging, climbing from the ground to the heavens according to the explanation of the Ksav Sofer. This could have been the argument between Beis Shamai and Beis Hilel by Chanuka whether to increase or decrease the number lit.
The gemora says that a menorah when placed over twenty amos, is not visible.
The gemora says that a wife protects the husband from adultery, so she says sheasani kirtzona, Hashem made me according to His will. When married, my existence becomes His will and girls are getting prepared for it.
There is a midrash that says, when the Jews heard by Kabolas Hatorah Anochi Hashem Elokecha, they answered baruch shelo asani goy. Why did they not say sheasani yisrael? The commentaries question it should have said, I am Hashem your G-d who created you not taken out of mitzraim. As we said that it would have been easier not to be created. The Maharsha explains that there are 365 lo sasehs, negative mitzvos which would have been kept by not being created whereas there are only 248 asseis, positive mitzvos having the requirement to perform them physically, therefore more could have been accomplished by not being created.
Another one is bima beamtza where one is not allowed to daven in a shul that does not have the bima in the middle which is required so that everyone should hear the reading of the Torah equally. This is the ruling of 100 Rabonim at Mihalowitz in 1866 even if will require davening individually Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
‘Reb E – I know this will be hard for you to accept but omicron isn’t causing deaths. I am fairly certain that it has not even caused any hospitalizations’. Syag, Ron Johnson and yourself were downplaying the effect of Omecron saying no one died from it or ended up in the hospital. It might only be true if vaccinated which you forgot to mention and encourage it. Your words indicate that you are not pro-life.
Avira. “but it’s along the lines of “haika ana” that ‘rav huna’ said in response to the gemara that said that when rebbe was niftar, humility ceased to exist.”
The gemora says to count the number of letters of a Sefer Torah by bringing it, so if an error is made, I will prove it directly. If was not Rav Huna but Rav Yosef:
תלמוד בבלי מסכת סוטה דף מט עמוד ב
משמת רבי – בטלה ענוה ויראת חטא. אמר ליה רב יוסף לתנא: לא תיתני ענוה, דאיכא
אנאWe follow in many things the Chasam Sofer and not Reb Moshe ztz’l e.g. mechitza and tefila betzibur.
Under the circumstances which the Tzitz Eliezer ztz’l indicates l’a, not wishing it on anyone, one has on whom to rely on.
This above from Wiki refers to the Shagas Aryeh not the Maharal.
According to Wiki:
A legend exists of his death. During his studies a bookcase fell on him, covering him with books. His students were able to rescue him after an hour or so and he related to them that he had been covered by the books of the authors with whom he had quarreled. He had asked forgiveness from all of them and they all complied save for one, Mordecai Yoffe (known as the Levush) who refused. He knew therefore that he was not long for this world, and pronounced the verse in Hebrew “Aryeh shoag mi loi yiroh”; i.e. that Aryeh (the lion, meaning himself) shoag (roars), but mi (an acronym of Mordecai Yoffeh, but can also mean ‘who’) loi yiroh (is not afraid).[4]
How about close to 800,000 deaths? Vaccinate and get protected. לא תעמוד על דם רעך, do not harm others!
No, but read his teshuva and see his extensive knowledge. At his laveya they carried his 21 volumes as a tribute.
This reminds me about the Shagas Aryeh who died through a seforim cabinet falling on him where he argued on all seforim by saying אריה שאג ‘מי’ לא ירא, when a lion roars who is not afraid? So R’ Mordechai Yaffe retorted that he is not afraid ( the above acronym is for him, lo yiro, is not afraid).
Are the Republicans the party of life or death? When it comes to abortion it is murder almost in all circumstances and when is comes to Omecron COVID-19 variant they downplay it.
