Reb Eliezer

The Beis Yosef asks the question what was the neis the first day as there was enough oil to burn? The Shiltas Rav Ache (a Gaon) has the girsa לא היה בו ‘אפילו’ להדליק יום אחד there was not enough even for one day. The mefarshim explain that if we have an exact pitcher amount, something is left over when poured in the menorah. The Meiri Shabbos om Mai Chanukah Shabbos 21,2 answers the above that the finding the pitcher was itself a neis. When we are mechadesh in the Torah is a neis of siyata dishmaya see the Or Hachaim Hakadash in the beginning on Parashas Tetzaveh on shemen zayis zach pure oil, lishma, kasis lamaor, break himself in learning Torah. The Beis Yosef has two answers, one it refilled itself with itself oll, but ehat happened the last day? Two, they divided the oil into eight parts, so the first day was also a neis. They realized that when the oil became tamei, they needed eight days to produce new oil, but ein somchim al haneis, can we rely on a neis?
The Ksav Sofer Shut O;CH 132, that the argument if kavsa zakik lo, do we have to relight it when it went out before the time is dependent on these two answers, When divided into eight parts, an eight part can burn a little so the neis was that it burned long, so to commemorate the neis, we must relight it but otherwise not.
The Pnei Yehashuah explains that the argument to increase or decrease the number of candles every day also depends on this. When the oil was divided into eight parts the amount of oil left in the pitcher was seen to diminish day by day by an eight, so the neis was realized through diminishment.
The Taz explains that the first day oil was left over for other days, מנותר קנקנים נעשה נס, from what was left over the neis materialized.

Goldilocks, Pope Gregory in 1582 adjusted the calendar by removing 10 days and declaring that century years must not only be divisible by 100 but also by 400 to be a leap year such that years 1700, 1800 and 1900 lost a day making currently 10 + 3 = 13 days difference, so Nitel is Jan 5 night and not Jan 24 night.

January 6 according to the Gregorian Calendar adjusted by 13 days inclusive which is not a shabbos.

‘The reality is that for the last 400-500 years the seat of the Torah world and the vast majority of Torah scholarship.’ ujm, can you explain what you are saying, the reality is what?

Is this above a poem where every line is capitalized without periods at the end of the line?

כל הנשמה תהלל י-ה – על כל נשמה ונשמה תהלל י-ה, for every breath take we should praise Hashem. We take for granted being healthy without any problems. The philosophers say, bad is good. שחורה אני ונווה
when being not healthy and recover do I realize the help I was given by Hashem to praise Him.

CS, you are thinking with your mind but think with his mind. Easy money and I am going anyway there, so why not take the package along.

With this the Binah Leitim interprets the statement in Pirkei Avos, חיה רעה בא לעולם על שבועת שוא a wild animal comes to the world when swearing falsely. Asks the above, doesn’t a wild animal exist already on the world? He says that one who uses his mouth improperly turns himself into a wild animal.

They say that eyes are the window to the soul, as the intensions matter.

It’s obvious. He was given a package and did not know what he was given to take. It was important to reach the recipient fast, so he was paid much money. If he had known he is carrying drugs, he would not have taken it. Look at the picture of the boy who looks very innocent to me.

I don’t think that this is similar to the Lev Tahor (misnomer) situation as mentioned above. This boy was fooled into his predicament. If he would have known the possible consequences of his actions, he
would not have done it.

You can look at it as a legal holiday rather than a religious holiday. We don’t designate a mother’s day as everyday is mother’s day.

Our Thangsgiving is really Sukkos the collection of teviah. Maybe we can celebrate it but not eat turkey specially even though it is called tanigol ‘hodu’, thanks.

If one is handed lemons, help him make lemonade. As stated he was an onas by not knowing what he got himself into and should not be penalized by saying ‘rot in jail’.

The boy did not know what he was given to carry, so he took it to make money.

We did learn Shmuel.

Three individuals were discussing what was the first profession, a doctor, an architect and a computer programmer analyst. Each one claimed that their profession was the first. The doctor said it had to be a doctor as Hashem created Chava from Adam’s ribs. So the architect says that architecture came first as it says earlier Hashem created heaven and earth from chaos. Retorts the analyst, and who created the chaos?

Life is fleeting as described in the Unesaneh Takef.

Maybe one who sings in Aramaic about an individual is a grammer in yiddish.

The computer was already invented then 20 years ago by IBM.

Is they a Piskei Teshuvas for Chelek Daled of the MB which I don’t have?

As explained by the Rabbenu Bachaya above. starting with the words Verabbenu Hakadash, that for the chachmei hamishna, mishna scholars the gemora was obvious and did not need to be written down but for Revina and Rav Ashe it became necessary. It could be based on the phrase, syag lachachma shtika, the wise only say or write what is required for understanding.

Before Rebbi, Torah Shebaal Peh was passed on orally. When Rebbi saw that it will be forgotten, he allowed to write down what was necessary for understanding. As the generations became weaker more and more had to be written down. I heard from my rebbi, that we have no seforim from Rav Nasson Adler ztz’l the Chasam Sofer’s rebbi, as he had a photographic memory and believed that for him it is forbidden to write it down as a dot placed in the margin of the gemora was enough.
