    AAQ, usually the achiv refers to the previous word, otherwise it is misplaced where it should have said, ויאמר קין אחיו אל הבל?

    I lived in Criown Heights a block from 770 around 50 years ago before I got married. Something I remember by the farbrengen in 770 (gematria beis meshiach 412 + 358 = 770) when someone wanted to drink wine, he would lifted up and after the Rebbi noded with his head, he can drink. In the Beis Hamedrash, by the daled ames of the Rebbi no one stood and it was cimpletely empty.

    The GRA explains how Kayin was able to kill his brother when he was stronger? It says ויאמר קין אל הבל אחיו Kayin says to his brither Hevel, what did he say? He told him, you are my brother. He killed him on the field catching him off guard by thinking he is his friend.

    It says מפני מי המבול, Noach entered the ark when the water pushed him in, says Rashi אף נח מקטני אמונה היה, מאמין ואינו מאמין שיבא המבול so Noach did not fully believe that the flood will come. What about as a praise? I heard once that it matters where we place the comma.
    ,אף נח מקטני אמונה היה מאמין Noach trusted the one’s with a small belief, figuring that they will do teshuva as Hashem originally had the rain come lightly, when it says ויגברו המים the water became stronger and therefore ואינו מאמין שיבא המבול Noach did not actually believe the flood will come.

    Chasidim did not want to mix with Non-Jews so they dressed accordingly. The Chasam Sofer says on ויבא יעקב ‘שלם’, שם, לשון, מלבוש differentiates us from the goyim.

    We have many mafriim, bad influences through the goyim, so it is hard to be a tzadik. Chanoch was taken away because he did not want to mix with anyone as Rashi explains that he did not trust himself not to get corrupted from others. So, Hashem said, we don’t need malachim in this world. In reality a tzadik like Chanoch hurts others when they are being compared to him, so he becomes a kapara for others when he is taken away.

    Red sticks out and can be seen easily. There is a joke, why does a fireman wear red suspenders? So, that his pants should not fall down. In Sopron, Hungary where I was born, there is a tall tower dating back to the Romans which can be seen all over the town, called the fire tower. They would look out for a fire in the town.

    I do in Booklyn. The little subway token used also for the bus was 15 cents and the ferry 5 cents.
    The rent my father paid in Crown Heights for a 3 room apartment was $52 and another place $78. A two pound bread was 56 cents.
    We as children traveled everywhere in NYC with bus or subway without being afraid.

    huju, I corrected your consideratiion being a tzadik but not necessarily a tzadik tamim if not for his generation. I also indicated that the Rambam says the environment where one lives influences him, so by living in Avraham’s generation would have changed him for the better..

    I remember in Hungary the way we cleaned carpets before vacuum cleaners by placing it outside and hitting it with a wooden racket like a tennis racket. My mother would kasher her chickens. We buy a live chicken at the market, take it to the shochet, pluck it, singe it by dunking it into hot water to remove the left over hairs, kasher it in salt for a half an hour and then rinse off the salt.

    The Chasam Sofer explains whether tzohar is a window or precious stone will be dependent how bedorosov, in his generation is interpreted. Only a tzadik tamim, a complete tzadik is worthy to see the destruction of the reshaim, so there was a window otherwise, as Lot could not look behind, the light came into the ark through a precious stone.

    Noach was like his grandfather Chanoch who did not want to do anything with bad people, afraid of being corrupted, not like Avraham.

    Torahval, what you are saying makes no sense. Every election has some fraud, so the only way we can rely on a electiio is if posit that fraud did not affect the election.

    There is an argument between the Rambam and Raavad what olam habo means. The Rambam Hilchas Teshuva (5,2) considers olam habo after life when no bodies exists but only souls however, the Raavad says that it is techiyas hamesim, resurrection when the souls will return to bodies.

    Many people who are learning daf yomi never learned gemora before. Learn the halachas pointed to by the Ein Mishpat – Neir Mitzva. The problem I see that they are spoon fed their whole life with Artscroll and not given a means to learn on their own. They should learn the idioms of the gemora and thereby helping them how to set words. There are two computer programs at jewishsoftware dot com, Gemora Tutor for idioms and Talmud Master for gemora’s logic recognizable through key words.

    I heard once on the צדקים יושבים the pious sit ועטרותיהם בראשיהם and their crowns is on their head ונהנים מזיו השכינה and they enjoy the beauty of the shechina. Why mentions the crowns in the middle rather than the end? One cannot directly look into shechina, so the precious stones in the crown act like a prism by reflecting the light.

    Spare the rod, spoil the child as they translated it. The serpent was cursed with eating dust, even though it is available everywhere, as explained by the Chidushei Harim, Hashem said to him, here is your food and don’t bother Me.
