    No. Not enough fraud to change the outcome.

    It says ulai yesh chamishim tzadikim besoch hair, maybe fifty tzadikim exist in the city? The Satmar Rav ztz’l said, I want people who stay and fight in the city and not escape. Hashem helps more one who is part of the group and is not praying on his own.

    The eye test reminds me of another joke. A eye doctor asks the patient, can you see the plaque on the wall? He says, what wall?

    The dira, Hashem’s residence in this world, is only possible if we unite in it. If someone is a baal gaive, Hashem says, אין אני והוא יכולים לדור בדירה אחת, I and he cannot live together in one residence. He pushes Hashem out by saying, You belong above and not on earth to be masgiach, privide for us. The Rav Abarnel interprets, lo siso es shem, don’t elevate Hashem by saying that He is so great who does not want anything to do with us.

    We are born not to gain nehama dekesufa (bread of shame), a free handout, so Hilel with his few words describes a purpose. אם אין אני לי מי אני if I am not for myself to work and improve myself, who is? וכשאני לעצמי מה אני and if I only care for myself, what am I, an animal? אם עכשיו אימתי if not now when? A person does not know how long one lives?

    The Rambam paskens in Hilchas Deas (5,11) the order from when to return from a battle, get parnasa, build a house and then get married. Asks the Kesef Mishna there, the Pasuk is mentiioning the planting of a vineyard (parnasa) after marriage? Explains the Chasam Sofer with an ingenious idea, the pasuk is talking about the fourth year (netei revei) which occurred after marriage but the plantation of the vineyard realy was before marriage.

    Very nice but why lashan hara to point it out?
    It says that at the time of Rebbi Shimon bar Yochai the rainbow was not seen and it does not say that there wasn’t any? Explains the Kli Yakar that they did not look at it figuring that the tzadikim will protect them. According to this we can understand why is it lashan hara to say, I saw a rainbow even though one might want to bring people to do teshuva because he is saying that there are no tzadikim to protect us, so we must rely on Hashem to protect us through his love for us as above.

    Many have problems with long division but it realy is the number of times the divisor can be subtracted from the dividend and the decimal or fraction of the remainder.

    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.

    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.

    The title of this topic is misleading as he was a tzadik but maybe not a tzadik tamim only in his generation.
