November 21, 2021 5:56 pm at 5:56 pm in reply to: Chasimas Hatalmud: How did it come about? #2031522Reb EliezerParticipantLook at the Rabbenu Bachaya at the end of Parashas Ki Siso on al pi hadevorim hoelo korati itecha bris, how only the minimum was written down, necessary for their understanding, originally and as the generations became weaker more and more was required to be written down. He explains with this the expression chasurei mechseira vehacha ketana,where it was written down on purpose in a brief fashion.

Reb EliezerParticipantThe goy does not have to send it on shabbos, he can sent it when scheduled.
Reb EliezerParticipantThis is less than machshichin al hatchum, to wait my the techum for shabbos finishing which is allowed for a mitzva, so I don’t see what is wrong. Chal Hamoed you can use your computer as the display is not permanent.
Reb EliezerParticipantNo, Rav Moshe Meir Wess Shlita moved to Lakewood.
Reb EliezerParticipantAlso, don’t say one is bad but their actions or behavior which can be changed,
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Yaaros Devash asks on the megilla, because their dasom, rules, are different destroy them personally? So he says that Haman asked on the dasam to get destroyed which the king agreed on but he changed the text referring to the Jews.
November 19, 2021 1:35 pm at 1:35 pm in reply to: Where Klal Yisroel will be in 100 years from now #2030932Reb EliezerParticipantIn the Midbar they were free to learn as shmita time which is compared to midbar sinai. The Kohanim, who were also supported, were free to learn when it was not their time to do the avoda. The women were busy raising children so they only learned what was necessary for them to do their mitzvas.
November 19, 2021 12:43 pm at 12:43 pm in reply to: Classics and Beyond Vayishlach – An Ox and a Donkey #2030872Reb EliezerParticipantThe Midrash says that Adam Harishon sacrificed a unicorn. The Ksav Sofer explains that one horn reflects the unique devotion to Hashem as the horn points to the heaven. The Midrash says to write on ‘keren hashor’ rather than karnei hashor indicating that what should reflect the unique existence of G-d they should deny. I heard from Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss that they would use the horn of an ox to feed a baby milk. So they wanted them to deny Hashem from birth.
Reb EliezerParticipantAlan Alda has Jewish children as his wife is jewish. Michael Landon is not Jewish as his mother was not Jewish but Lorne Greene is.

Reb EliezerParticipantDon’t assume that his actions are altruistic without self interest as by Yisro, vayichad, even when happy was not fully happy until ten generations.
Reb EliezerParticipantFor a discussion see:
Reb EliezerParticipantI have lived in Staten Island for 44 years where we had an influx of chasiddim recently.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhen we ask for Hashem’s help to serve Him, we ask for daas, the proper mindset, so our bechira is not affected.
Reb EliezerParticipantI had a Pfizer booster on J&J after 7 months.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe holy Shlah explains the pasuk in Mishli אל תוכיח לץ פן ישנאך. when admonishing someone don’t call him a fool as he will hate you, הוכיח חכם ויאהבך, call him a chacham, the wise one and he will love you. Also the Rav Abarbanel says, לא תשא עליו חטא, don’t put the sin on him by labeling him. Maybe rather say that people do instead of you do.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe same reason we need to daven in a fixed place, makom kevua. To daven is like an arrow which when shot always from the same place, will penetrate. So the expectation of a gate for a particular shevat is a fixed prayer. When we daven betzibur, in a group together, it should not matter. The custom of a person might override the nusach of the tzibur according to the Chasam Sofer above.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe accomplish more through positive reinforcement. For ourselves it can be mussar but for others it should be chizuk.
November 17, 2021 6:32 pm at 6:32 pm in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2029960Reb EliezerParticipantAchdus, unity is not always recommended. The convention of 1866 in Michalovce (Nagymihaly, place in Hungary that time) caused the excommunication of the reform movement from the orthodox when they denied following the Shulchan Aruch. The Maharam Shik interpreted emes vehashalom ahovu, first emes then shalom. Truth must come before peace. They applied hibodlu mitoch haeida hara, separate yourself from the bad group. Ein shalom omar Hashem lerashaim, no peace says Hashem to the wicked. When it comes to the orthodox, there are many ways of serving Hashem, so it should not matter how.
Reb EliezerParticipantChizuk, we should always emphasize the positive, The Haflaah in Panim Yafos says uvocharto bachaim, chose life. Remembering the day of death should be the last resort,
Reb EliezerParticipantWe in the Agudah of Staten island with a new Rav Moshe Klein Shlita daven Ashkenaz, so in the green room by Rav Pollak Shlita and the Young Israel.
Reb EliezerParticipantcofffee addict, wishing you the same and everyone else in CR.
November 17, 2021 10:27 am at 10:27 am in reply to: NEW thread 4 amazing sayings and qoutes! #2029634Reb EliezerParticipantOne who digs a pit for others, falls into it. – Koheles and a Hungarian proverb.
Reb EliezerParticipantI moved there 1977. My wife’s a’h cousin decided to move here from Boro Park, buy a house. She wanted us to buy the companion house of two semi-detached houses. Currently they moved a long time ago to the Woodmere, Long Island. My daughter lives in Oceanside and my son in Marine Park, so I am on my own.
Reb EliezerParticipantBlacks are named Ezra.
Reb EliezerParticipantAdas Yereim (Wiener) in Williamsburg on 27-31 Lee Avenue, switched to sefard.
Reb EliezerParticipantI say maarovis for myself and daven ashkenaz, even when they daven sefard, saying Kedusha quietly as the above Chasam Sofer and not Reb Moshe ztz’l.
Reb EliezerParticipantI recently went to a wedding where the Rav’s shlita son married his second cousin (Zeltenreich, the Rav’s mother’s brother) where there were more shtreimels than not.
Reb EliezerParticipantLast shabbos, we had a Carlbach kabbolas shabbos in the Agudah of Staten Island which was very uplifting.
Reb EliezerParticipantReb EliezerParticipantThe only time we davened Sefard in Chasan Sofer when we relocated by Rav Shmuel ztz’l temporarily to a sefard shul (not nusach sefard, minhag hamakom) in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn somewhere on 64th Street.
Reb EliezerParticipantAlways tell the truth or be quite and don’t say anything. If verifying and finding an incorrect halacha paskened or pshat which effects halacha is said, admit it and don’t cover it up as Shiman Hamasini gave up on darshening esin.
