Reb EliezerParticipant
Above should be lift it up not lifted up.
Reb EliezerParticipantkrishtzentzuch yudentzich. We get influenced by the goyim but a smart person knows what to follow.
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, usually the achiv refers to the previous word, otherwise it is misplaced where it should have said, ויאמר קין אחיו אל הבל?
Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, the Midrash says, just that, one boring a hole under his seat sinks the whole boat.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe are all tigether in a boat. The Midrash explains that when one bores a hole under his seat. he effects everyone in the boat.
Reb EliezerParticipantI mohel was upset after a bris because he did not get severance pay.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt 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.Reb EliezerParticipantWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
‘Why did the lubavitcher cross the road? To be mekarev the chicken.Reb EliezerParticipantAAQ, wasn’t this copied in reverse?
Reb EliezerParticipantChasidim 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantGH, I make many typos with a online keyboard on an RCA tablet.
Reb EliezerParticipantMe too.
Reb EliezerParticipantWhy don’t you ask, why is the sky blue? It is the most comfortable color for the eyes.
Reb EliezerParticipantRed 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.Reb EliezerParticipanthuju, 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..
Reb EliezerParticipanttorahval, if fraud is commited, we should audit anywhere else.
Ein ledavar saf. You audit the place of fraud if fraud is rampant.Reb EliezerParticipantThanks, DY, 47 pages See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/going-off-the-derech
Reb EliezerParticipantBefore shaving machines, my father would put powder on his face, letting it stay for a while and remove it with a wide plastic stick to shave which stunk almost ike a skunk but he did not smell it.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is beautiful Midrash Shmuel from the Arizal on
אל תסתכל בקנקן אלא מה שיש בו.
ונקה לא ינקה has the shem Hashem in it plus קן קן. Have betochen in a Hashem, even if the vessel is not full.Reb EliezerParticipantFor Pesach, we would go to the farmer with our own pail to milk the cow.
Reb EliezerParticipantNoach had to earn his keep by staying in the teiva and feeding the animals as Yosef was a tzadik through feeding his family.
Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantMy email is still Juno.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantNoach was like his grandfather Chanoch who did not want to do anything with bad people, afraid of being corrupted, not like Avraham.
Reb EliezerParticipantTorahval, 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe title of this topic is misleading as he was a tzadik but maybe not a tzadik tamim only in his generation.
Reb EliezerParticipantWe can reworded for himself, י’ר שיתקיים חכמתי ולא ישתכח את תורתי.
Reb EliezerParticipantIt should be above asecha raisi tzadik bador hazeh, I saw you as a tzadik in this generation.
Reb EliezerParticipantSee 38 pages:
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Binah Leitim darush 41, explains that hair protects against the wetness in the brain through which wisdom emanates.
י’ר שיתקיים חכמתו ולא ישתכח את תורתוReb EliezerParticipantSo let us define what we talking about.
Reb EliezerParticipantI heard from a Young Israel rabbi, if you must dance together, dance with your wife.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantArguing for the sake arguung and not caring about an answer to arrive to the truth and clearer understanding.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Abarbanel on lo sisa alav chet says, don’t call them names and label them only critisize their actions or behavior which can be changed and as mentioned above emohasize the positive.
Reb EliezerParticipantThe Kli Yakar explains that Kayin continues building because the rich are never satisfied and happy with what they have. They always want double of what they have. A rich person is poorer than the poor through his desires. A billionaire wants another billion.
Reb EliezerParticipantI am in the low seventies. Experience is knowledge.
October 4, 2021 8:13 am at 8:13 am in reply to: Classics and Beyond Bereishis 3— The Slippery Slope of Sin #2012066Reb EliezerParticipantThe Baal Akeida explains the statement הרהורי עבירה קשה מעבירה, rationalizing and explaining a sin such that it does not apply to me or what I did is not assur is worst than the sin as he will continue doing it, nassis lo kaheter.
Reb EliezerParticipantKabala says duchra (mashpia) provider and nukva (mushpa) being provided to.
Reb EliezerParticipantujm, Yaakov Avinu had the excuse גר שנתגייר כקטן שנולד דמי they converted, so the relationship broke, but they did not get burried together as it did not look good. For others it is a proof that the relationship disbands after death.
Reb EliezerParticipantThere is a site called realcleardaf dot com emphasizing better understanding.
Reb EliezerParticipantMany 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantIf a husband marries a sister of the first wife after her death, what happens when they both become alive?
Reb EliezerParticipantI 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.
Reb EliezerParticipantSpare 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.
