The Maharal, Ketzos, Shagas Aryeh, Potzker who left behind that for whomever publishes his seforim he will be a melitz yosher, a defender above, and the Kol Aryeh.
Hershel goes with Tzvi, Leib with Aryeh, Wolf with Zev and Berel with Dov.
The Biur Halacha 427 when it came to 5743 says, that Meshiach had come already a long time ago.
The same applies to the Republicans where President Reagan would be considered a RINO (Republican in name only) now.
The Chasam Sofer says in O’CH 15 that both have the same kavonos which was revealed by the Arizal for nusach sefard as he was a sefardi which is argued by the Minchas Elozor, so if someone wants to be mechaven should daven nusach sefard as Rav Nossan Adler did but all others davened Ashkenaz. The Divrei Chaim says that nusach sefard is an inclusive davenen for all shevotim who don’t know their origin. He says that one can convert from ashkenaz to sefard but not vice versa. The Magen Avraham says in O’CH 68 that each shevat has his own gate where its tefila goes through. The Pri Megodim argues and forbids changing in either direction.
I heard from someone who was named Shaya, it is good that my father did not also name me Getz because then I would have been called shaygetz, which is a diminutive for sheketz.
סיג לחכמה שתיקה, the border of wisdom is silence. Say only what is necessary for understanding.
The Chasam Sofer interprets וסרתם מן הדרך when one turns off the walked on way (mesorah), can lead to ועבדתם אלהים אחרים to worshipping a’z, אשר לא ידעתם. what you don’t realize.
A stitch in time saves nine. The Midrash Shmuel interprets עת לעשות לה’ הפירו תורתך, when procrastinating in doing mitzvos by making time for Hashem (saying I still have time), the end will be that it won’t get done.
The Maharam Shick was forced to have a secular name, so he called himself Shick an acronym for Shem Yisroel Kodash, שם ישראל קודש.
Abaya was an orphan named by an acronym asher becha yerucham yasom, א’שר ב’ך י’רוחם י’תום, where in You a orphan consoles.
We must all hang together or we hang separately.
Science (olam keminhago naheg) helps to understand the Torah.
From the Torah, vayisyachsu al mishpechasam, where Rashi says that they all brought their yichus letter.
For your information, gonna is not a word but going to. There is a place named Ghana.
There is a shiur on it:
I would say that people who learn the Rambam don’t need the Artscroll and others need halacha. The Raavad and Rabbenu Yonah were very harsh as they used the Rambam for halacha everywhere.
This is the first instance of cloning.
Yaakov Avinu emphasizes Lashon Hakodesh over Aramaic when he translates Yagar Sahadusei to Gal Eid..
I think, an old version is available for download at https://hebrewbooks.org/7190 and reprint might be available.
At the collive web site above search for Yaakov Avinu.
Go to the collive web site and see Nemuoel sings Veato Amarto a Chabad song.
–– from “Kfar Chabad” Magazine:
Throughout his life, the Baal Shem Tov had a yearning to remember Yaakov Avinu’s melody. He once told his close circle of followers: “During my first incarnation, when I was a sheep in Yaakov Avinu’s flock, I used to listen to a beautiful melody, which is very pleasant for the ears and the soul. Yaakov Avinu always sang this melody when pasturing his sheep – when he could pour out his soul to his Creator – until he would hear Hashem’s voice blessing his (Yaakov Avinu’s) sheep.
“I know for a fact that Yaakov Avinu also sent this melody with his sons when they went down to Egypt, to Yosef – as it is written in the Scriptures (Breishis 43:11): ‘And Yisrael their father said to them, “If it has to be, then do this: take from the song (zimras) of the land.”’ ”
The Baal Shem Tov continued: “I merited to hear this melody only once more, which was when I happened to pass by a shepherd pasturing his sheep and singing this melody. When I heard it, I almost turned back into a sheep…”
And when the Baal Shem Tov wanted to go to the Holy Land, he said: “Perhaps I will merit one more time to hear that melody ‘from the song of the land.’ When I do, I shall learn it thoroughly until I know it so well that I will never forget it again. And when this melody will be spread out so far and wide that everybody knows it, Redemption will come to the world…
The Midrash Shmuel interprets עת לעשות לה’ הפירו תורתך when making time for Hashem by procrastinating and saying I still have time to do a mitzva then the end will be that it will be forgotten and not done. Use time judiciously.
For the above reason I made a bas mitzva for my daughter in an outside hall but just for women as it is improper to publicize a girl becoming of age and no change in public behavior of her reflects that. However, a boy puts tefillin on in public.
The Serudei Aish says to make a Bas Mitzva as a necessity so the girls should not feel left out. Rav Moshe’s view is that it is like any other birthday party and thereby forbidden to make it in a shul.
That us why goyim only have 7 mitzvos as they have less bechira as stated above in Tosfas in Kedushin.
Why don’t you look and substance? Don’t be tofas hatafel unaniach kaikar as language devolves. Impacted in place of affected was frowned upon but now it is part of regular speech.
Chanukah gelt, money is a custom but gifts is an appeasement like a Bas Mitzva.
If no free will, no sechar veonash, reward and punishment. It is the second belief of three, belief in Hashem, the above and the Torah given from the Heaven, according the Baal Haikarim as he summarizes the thirteen beliefs of the Rambam.
There is a joke where someone knocks on the heaven’s gate and he is asked, who is this? He answers, it is I. He is being retorted, another English teacher.
In yeshivas, translated from Yiddish, hold is used instead of up to as where do we hold and asks the gemora and answers the gemora but I learned gemora in Yiddish.
HaLeiVi, you like better the Ben Ish Chai explains? By me they have the same meaning. I did not put a subject in the front, obviously I mean the subject is the Ben Ish Chai. If someone else explains, I would have said, the Ben Ish Chai is explained. Why don’t you criticize the exchange of who and whom, the subject and the object?
This idea is reflected in the current tragic news:

Avira, in Kesuvas, Rav Acha danced with a kallah on his shoulders seeing her as a beam.
Stealth, I am too tired with your Demoncrats, and not with the obstructionist Rebublicans being in the bubble of Drumf.
Tosfas in Kedushin, (39,2) starting words, machshava, explains that by a Jew a good intention is like action but not a bad intention and opposite is true by a goy. Explains the Maharal with the Meharsha that a Jew is basically good and will follow up in action on his intention to do good but not bad and the opposite by a goy.
To whom do you return the kesuba to? There are both muchzakim here. The heirs the money and the wife the kesuba. Could be that since the kesuba is out of her hand here, she is not muchzak on it any more, so we say they paid it and she cannot collect the kesuba.
I think so in order to be paid as no shover is written.
I think the yesomim claim that the kesuba was returned to them after she was paid and they lost it and she claims that she lost it before it was paid.
The six divisions of misnayos have the acronym zeman noket זמן נקט, grab on to time – and do not waste it.
A tzadik ben tzadik has two zechusim whereas a tzadik ben rasha only one and half. We find what you say from the Alter of Kelm by Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov when they are mentioned in reverse order vezocharti es brisi Yaakov etc., indicating according to the Ksav Sofer, that each one was great not because of his father but by his own accomplishment.
בית משיח = 412 + 358 = 770
Ani reflects the hardest meseches, Eruvin, Nidah and Yevomus. Maybe, they are all related to unity where the center is the closest. We find, it says beficha, ubilvovecha laasoso. Says the Rabbenu Bachaya that the sides turn to the center so that the mouth, expression is from the heart and the action is fron the heart. Husband and wife have the closest relationship. Marrying a brother’s wife is somewhat further and bringing people together through an eiruv is even further. They should all turn to center. To understand the hardest meseches we need unity which correct sinas chinam, futile hatred and bring Meshiach in our time, Amen.
The Targum Yonasan says that Eisov denied the after-life. However, the question is why did Yaakov Avinu say after Eisov asked for lentils to sell his birthright? The Maasei Hashem says an interesting pshat. Yaakov Avinu knew what was told to his mother, Rivkah that rav yaavod tzair, the elder will serve the younger. So, Yaakov Avinu said, if you want me to serve you, I must be the elder, so you must sell me your birthright.
When it comes to Ribis, it says lo yechetzu yemehem. Explains the Ben Ish Chai that Yitzchak Avinu said that half of time people are sleeping so they should not be punished as they are not sinning. However, one who takes ribis, even when he is sleeping his money makes money, so the days cannot be divided in half, but vaani evtach boch, I trust you, so I don’t take ribbis and my days will be divided.
When it comes to Meshiach what happens to the gemora of tipach atzmosov, his bones be blown up for those who count the days towards his coming. There is mashel where one takes his son and a friend to Leibzig, the market (the most populous place in Germany). His son asks right away when will we get there? The father gets very upset, yelling, why are you asking me when we just started to travel. After a while the friend asks the same question, so he answers him in another hour. Says the son, why did you scream at me when I asked? The answer is obvious, it was not time to ask but now in the akavte demeshicha, the time when Meshiach can come, is the time to count and ask.
The check reminds of the joke of the orthodox rabbi who was given money to place it in someone’s grave after his death, after he spent it he wrote a check.
‘not vaday, still we’re concerned for choshid amamona choshid ashvua’. Froggie, I don’t know what you are saying. Only if we know for sure he did an aveira even a derabonon are we choshud as the words of the SA.
