I think he gives a proof on the resurrection from
מעפר אתה ואל עפר אתה תשוב indicating that we will return to what we were. ה’ ישמר צאתך ובואך leaving first and then returning.What you are saying is true if one does teshuva from meahava, love where one wants to get close to Hashem and his sins further him away rather than doing teshuva from yirah, fear of punishment.
Ahava and Yirah have a connection. If you take the first two letters of יראה and אהבה we get יראה and the last two letters we get אהבה. First we repent from fear and than after getting cleansed partially from our sins, get closer to Hashem. It says שובה ישראל עד ה’ אלקיך explains the Klei Yakar that after doing teshuva from fear כי כשלת מעונך turning your purposeful sins to unintentional ones, so now do teshuva from love, by geting close to Hashem and turn them into benefits.CS, you know what you mean, but I don’t know what you mean. Write it in hebrew. I wish you also and the CR participants a gut gebenshte yohr.
CS, the women don’t have to cover their hair on the street because the man don’t have to look.
Should be above, so there is, no hirhur, but the MB argues, what happens until getting accustomed?
CS. I don’t know what you mean. Maybe זה השער לה’ צדיקים יבואו בו if you want to know what to do, follow the tzadikim.
According to the Aruch Hashulchan 75, based on the Levush, we become accustomed, si there is no hirhur, but the BM argues, what happens until getting accustomed?
There is a machlokes between the Beer Sheva and the Shiltei Hagiborim. The Beer Sheva assers a wig. If the wig looks like hair there is no erva but there is hirhur.
coffee addict, hair is not an erva but hirhur, as you can look away from it to daven.
We daven at 8 a half hour earlier than shabbos. As a Yom Tov when we don’t fast, we sleep later than selichos. A minhag of Europe, I make kiddush before shofar. Maybe, as a fixed time is announced, it is a reminder.
Look up the sefer Nishmas Chaim on hebrewbooks.org
There is sefer Nishmas Chaim from Rav Menashe ben Yisroel of Amsterdam.
Aseres Yermei Teshuva it says we should only drink chalav yisroel, so Hashem will be more merciful towards us as we do meshiras hadin like bentching on a kezayis.
It easy to asser but to be matir, one needs special education and knowledge. Glatt is explained in Yechaveh Daas (3,56) from Rav Ovadyah Yosef. In this the ashkenazim follow the sefardim.
It says וידעת היום realize today והשבתך אל לבבך says the holy Alshich, it says והיה עקב תשמעון the end will be that we will do teshuva and listen, so we might as well not wait and do it today.
It says גדולה תשובה שמביא את הגאולה, teshuva is great as it brings the redemption and it also says גדולה תשובה שמקרבת את הגאולה, teshuva is great as it accelerates the redemption? Explains the Ksav Sofer, there are two times for the geula, beita, in its fixed time and achisheno, before its fixed time. הנסתרות לה’ אלקינו for the fixed hidden time we have no control over it, the decision belongs to Hashem, but הנגלות the accelerated open time לנו ולבנינו is dependent on us לעשות when we do the Torah. If we do teshuva meyiro, from fear, the geula will be at the fixed time but if done from ahava, from love, wanting to get closer to Hashem, He will also accelerate, bring the geula closer before the fixed time.
Nitzavim, hayom is Rash Hashanah as by Chana. We stand in judgement but if we are kulchem, in unity, we will be worthy to the geulah, the redempton, lifnei Hashem, in Beis Hamikdash as the gemora in Rash Hashanah.
The Yechavah Daas (3,56) from Rav Ovadyah Yosef about glat meat where the ashkanezim follow the sefardim in eating glat.
Rav Moshe was matir non chalav yisroel milk because of mirtas, fear of the government inspection of mixing tamei animal milk in it.
See the American Journal of Therapeutics Volume 28, Issue 4 July/August 21 by googleing Ivermectin
The Torah is called cheirus, freedom from the yetzer hara.
Avira, I saw in Maasei Hashem, why eved avodim, we are avodim, so kenaan will be an eved to avodim, to us.
It is a machlokes between the RMA whose view is that it is a midas chasidus to cover the head and the Taz that currently it is worn against the issur of bechukosehem, following non–jewish behavior as respect is shown by removing the head covering. The Maharshag says that the person’s trust becomes questionable.
Look at the Ramban in Parashas Acharei on vechai bohem in great detail. People get a reward as the purpose for doing mitzvos. If one dioes mitzvos to do well this world, he gets rewarded this world and one next world, will be rewarded next world. If for no reward, will be rewarded both words, as he will not be swayed by it. The hachana, preparation for doing mitzvos is rewarded in this world.
Should be above feebleness
The Midrash Shmuel on Pirkei Avos 2 says that ben adam lechavero includes ben adam lamakom hence greater but that does not mean to neglect the latter.
We say like the poor who knock on Hashem’s door recognizing that we lack zechusim worthy to be heard. It says in SA O’CH 98 that we should not daven with the mindset that we are worthy of being granted our wishes. We should daven for a matnas chinom, a free grant, as ki lo chofetz bemos hames ki im beshuvo miderochov vechaya, Hashem does not want to punish the sinner but do teshuva to live. Anu melei avon, we are full of sin, veato malei rachamamim, and You are full of mercy.
Ben Adam Lachavero, sensitivity by being tactful and be concerned for the other’s feelings. How would you feel if said about you?
I was the only one who wore a Yarmulka when I worked in Chemical Bank in the seventies. I once said, that it indicates we have a burden on the head so we cannot do everything we want. I heard from Rav Shulman who answered the question, how big should a yarmuka be? He said, it should be big enough to cover your brain.
If his job depends on it, he can remove it in his work place.tiawd, we pronounce govoah and not govoha so it should be eloah but in order not to pronounce it we say elokah.
The Mesilas Yesharim says that when we love someone like a father, we want to do extra for him to please him even if we don’t get a reward for it. We love Hashem, who is a father to us, so we want to do extra to please him and specially in the ten days of teshuva drinking chalav yisroel, as we want to be judged not by hair splitting, exactly what we deserve.
Do you know that abusive parents have abusive children? The Rav Abarbanel on kibud Av says that the children will be respected as parents as they respected their parents. Your children see how you respect your parents and that will be how they respect you. I heard from my father a mashel.
There was a grandfather, father and son. The father fed the grandfather in a wooden plate. thinking that because of his feebless he will break regular china. When the grandfather passed on, the father wanted to get rid of it. The son said to the father, don’t throw it out father because we needed it for you.If you focus on them, it should not be bottled up but comunicated to someone you trust, otherwise it will make you miserable. My father lost a wife and two children in Aushwitz which reflected my upbringing by losing his temper very easily. My mother, who was in Aushwitz doing hard labor, had a problem showing physical love to me even though she loved me very much.
ubi, you might be alluding to the holy Or Hachaim who interprets the pasuk לא תשא את שם ה’ אלקיך לשוא, do not use the name of Hashem your G-d to elevate yourself uttering it in vain, to make yourself look more religious than you really are.
The Ksav Sofer compares us to climbing a ladder as Yaakov Avinu’s dream having the potential to shteig, elevate from the ground to the heavens being below or above the malachim. I think the above from Yserbus123 means that the importance is the effort one dispenses to elevate oneself. Do this elevation stepwise otherwise you falter as the Chasam Sofer above.
If they think they could have done better when they became parents, walk in their shoes and recognize one’s parents backgrounds, אל תדין את חבירך עד שתגיע במקומו don’t judge your friend until you have expirenced his experiences, which applies also to parents.
The Chasam Sofer interprets לא תעלה במעלות על מזבחי don’t elevate yourself higher than your status, people expect from you, אשר לא תגלה ערותך עליו, so that your faults should not be revealed.
Avi K, I have a proof to you from the Midrash of ולא יכלו אחיו לענות אותו and the brothers of Yosef could not answer him, what are we going to do when we will be judged לפי מה שהוא according to what he is, what his background is. The Rambam in Hilchas Yesodei Hatora (5,11) says that chilul Hashem is according to expectations. These people are expected a higher level of behavior all over, also bein adam lechavero.
The Rambam Hilchas Deas (6, 8) differentiates between ben adam lechavero where he should not ashame one in public over ben adam lamokam where, if he does not listen, can admonish him in public and ashame him.
We have never had so many resignations as by Trump. Why don’t the Biden advisors resign?
Health, it does not proof anything about Bolton if Trump does not even listen to Mattis. He simply thinks he knows everything and does not have to listen to advisors. North Korea might end up with nuclear weapons after making friends with them. Breaking the treaty with Iran showed that no one is watching, so they can do whatever they want by being on the verge of acquiring the materials. The movement of the embassy I don’t see a direct benefit of except the increase of the arab hatred.
coffee addict, you can’t follow both views, so one will be rejected. Sometimes you listen to one and sometimes to another. You must show willingness to listen and respect their views. When you always follow your own instincts, people around you realize that their good advice is not required and is ignored.
Syag, aren’t you violating your own tenets by being so harsh at him?
Tochacha must be done in tactful manner, so if you don’t know how, you will do more harm than good, yotzo sechora behefseda. The holy Shlah explains the passage אל תוכיח לץ פן ישנאך when admonishing someone, don’t call him a letz, a fool to hate you, הוכיח חכם ויאהבך call him a chacham, a wise one to love you.
As Hashem is the source of all energy, everything was created from energy as in string theory mentioned above. It has no mamashas, so it is considered ayin in yesh meayin. Einstein says that matter can be converted to energy in e=mc^2, so energy can be converted to matter. Living things have a nefesh habehamis. A medaber from domem, tzomeach, chai and medaber has a neshama. A yid has a higher neshama than a goy.
Biden listens to his competent advisors because he realizes that he does not know everything. However, Trump did not, thinking he knows everything, so they resigned.
Trump did not listen to those competent people like General Mattis and therefore they resigned.
