The Maharam Shick paskens not to place a secular year on a matzeva as it indicates the lack of life after death but try putting a Hebrew date on a check. In the Wiener cemetery, the matzeva writing is checked ahead of time and no English is allowed. We should use lemisporom on an invitation.
Little Froggie, I think that the SA answers all questions. Abbaye’s view is accepted when possible but a safek does not undo a vaday, so normally we are not chashud but if we know for a fact with eidim that he steals even rabbinically as playing cards, we are chashud and no shevua is placed on him.
He won on a lie. They don’t teach critical race theory in Virginia public schools.
In SA CH’M 92,3 says that if we have witnesses that he stole, then we don’t let him swear as milva yeshena does not apply.
It says that Meshiach is born on Tisha Beov.
ujm, he does not believe in it when he uses it as the most of the world does. When we use a kapital, chapter for chumash, do we believe in the goyim’s believe who compiled it?
Do you mitzvos because Hashem says so or the Rebbi says so?
Chabad – Cherev al Habadim, sword when separation
K-cup, is Chabad more important than Hashem when it comes to capitalizing?
K-cup, maybe you misunderstood. Every Jew has a Chelek Eloach Mimaal. Kol yisrael yesh lohem chelek.
I just got an invitation from my Rebbi’s son, Rav Dovid Aryeh Ehrenfeld current Matisdorfer Rav Shlita, who is marrying of his son, designating his wife, mother of the chasan and the rest of the family. as above ubnei beiso.
Did the Rebbe ever say that he is Meshiach? Hilel says that their will be no limos hamoshiach. Explains the Rav Abarbanel that techiyas hamesim will occur with the coming of Meshiach and no forty years will be in between them. That a dead person should become meshiach only works with this minority view.
farbycoffe, don’t you read posts? Didn’t I say that leosid lavo we will understand Beis Shamai’s view and the majority will follow them, so we will therefore pasken like them?
The Shlah Hakadash says that reward and punishment, the second of the three beliefs which is a summarization from the Baal Haikarim of the Rambam’s thirteen, is a measuring stick of the nachas ruach we provide to Hashem through our performance of the 613 mitzvos. We should do mitzvos for this purpose and reward and punishment will come automatically.
The Ksav Sofer on Parashas Yisro gives a mashel from his father the Chasam Sofer. A father had a goldmine and had multiple children. He wanted that the youngest child should inherit it, so he taught him the act of goldmining and divided the goldmine equally. Since the others did not know what to do with it, it automatically fell to the youngest child. The Torah Shebeksav is the goldmine and the Torah Shebaal Peh the act of goldmining. We received the Torah Shebaal Peh so we were able to understand the Torah Shebelsav. The Rabbenu Bachaya has another mashel where a king commands in writing his child to follow certain behavior and the reward given if followed by him. Being afraid that it will fall into the wrong hands who will demand the reward for their behavior, he passes part of his commandment orally.
Moshe Rabbenu and the others could not transfer the Torah and determine our psak halacha wiith heavenly understanding. According to the above Ran it requires sechel enoshi, a human mind.
We have the neshama and the guf. The neshama has a tendency to strive towards above and the guf for below. Which overpowers which? The question is how can we both get a reward and punishment? If one has tendency to turn to the right, above why a reward? On the other hand, if the tendency is vice versa, why a punishment? They say that the tendency is to do the right thing and in order to reward us Hashem created the yetzer hara and that is for our benefit to get rewarded once we don’t follow him. Shechara ani venava. Now we have a tendency to do bad but we get punished because we also have the yetzer tov and the neshama.
The Darashas Haran, Darush 7, explains that Rebbi Eliezer’s view was not accepted even it is emes according to the heavenly understanding, as once the Torah was given down to earth at kabolas hatorah, we must understand it through human understanding. Maybe, for the same reason currently we don’t pasken like the Beis Shamai but leosid lavo we will gain a higher understanding and the majority will follow the Beis Shamai so we will pasken like them.
Torah Sebaal Peh was not allowed to be written down originally so the minimum was passed over to each recipient which sufficed then for their great understanding but as the Jews were in diaspora their minds became weaker and questions arose which they started to argue about. The Rabbenu Bachaya explains at the end of Parashas Ki Sisa that Rebbi, Rebbi Yehuda Hanasi only wrote down the minimum necessary for understanding. As the generations went on, more and more explanations and commentaries became necessary.
AAQ, the Chasan Sofer explains the pasuk by Yosef as Potifar’s wife spoke to him daily he did not listen to her. This is how the yetzer hara operates. He nudges a person constantly to sin as he has no good merchandise to sell. However, the yetzer tov does not talk so much as the merchandise talks. A lesson in marketing where good merchandise only needs description but not much convincing.
Yabia, see SA O’CH (128,44) the RMA there.
All the chachomim on the above referenced list.
What is the purpose of the semicha? According the RMA his rebbi gives him permission to pasken, so we have more chiefs than Indians.
If someone says that they know everything, they really know nothing. Only Hashem knows everything.
As a sign of respect, Hashem should be capitalized in English.
The Sefer Hachinuch 62 has an interesting discussion on kishuf, witchery. The nature is under the control of the Torah learners. To change nature through witchery is not the will of Hashem.
Shabbos should be keilu kol melachto asuya, where one should not worry about his daily work and consider it done. The RMA paskens that we don’t duchen on shabbos as people do worry and therefore, not being happy.
I agree. They have to learn the halachas on the gemora they are learning. When I learned in the mesivta, we had a Rosh and Ran on the Rif shiur.
Not I am not. I am upset at what is going on there. Look at list of the rabonon it includes litvish also.
There is a story where a student asked his rebbi for a recommendation letter and the rebbi signed it at the edge of the paper. Asked the student why? He said because it says midevar sheker tirchak.
We can learn from the goyim with what hislahavus to do mitzvos.
All of our chachomim had foresight when israel was formed. What the Israeli government is now doing about kashrus was recognized then. Mods, Please allow this:
See https://www. nkusa. org/Historical_Documents/TheRabbisSpeakOut.htmapproving links isn’t an option, even if you ask nicely
I am familiar with the Sopron kehila at 217 Hewes St, What you said is correct Rav Shimon Posen ztz’l the father of Pinchas Shlita at the above kehila left already in my time. My Rav in Sopron was Rav Aaron Meir Krausz who became Rav in Sydney, Australia and then lived in Monsey, NY.
I think it is assur to mislead people being goneiv daas.
I did not but my rebbi the Wiener (Hadhauser) ztz’l was together with him in Tangier.
When one puts aside their own needs for the needs of the other it shows that you love your friend more than yourself, therefore you are listened to first.
My mother, being single and viral (32 years old) was sent by Mengele to the right and put to work filling granades with ammunition, escaped Aushwitz.
Yaakov Avinu went back to collect the pachim ketanim, small pitchers. For tzadikim their money is zahav tahor, pure money through no ganeiva. By the negah the house is emptied before declared tamei.
Hungary had a big inflation requiring them to change their currency from Pengo to Forint. My father told me that they took an egg to the movies as money was not accepted for admission. My father had a confection business. The Germans marched into Budapest March 19, 1944. My father lost his wife and two children in Aushwitz. He was in labor camp in Mauthausen which I saw after the war. Horthy stopped deportation on July 8, 1944 and was forced to resign by kidnapping his son, so he abdicated October 15, 1944 having the Arrow Cross, who were worse than the Nazis, take over. My father remarried in 1946 (the sister of his dead wife, my mother). I was born in January 1948. I did not know that the Russians were in charge until the revolution in 1956. There is currently no yiddishkeit in my hometown Sopron which was a big kehila before the war.
אביי – אשר בך ירוחם יתום, Where an orphan consoles with You, as Abaye was an orphan brought up by Rabbe.
It says by Pharaoh that he was taken away the free choice. I think the meaning is that the help that we have against the yetzer hara was taken away from him. In Parashas Bo they ask the question about free choice where the Dubner Maggid explains that Pharaoh originally did not want but the makus changed his mind, so his freedom of choice was restored.
In Hungary we only had one room, so we went to cheder.
BTW – By the way TGIS – Thank G-d its Shabbos
GH, Why Tishbu instead of Eliyahu? Maybe this is a proof to the Chasam Sofer, who asks how can we rely on him as the Torah is not in heavens? He answers that if Eliyahu comes in human form, he is like any other individual. So, the emphasis is that he is resident of his home town and not a malach.
