    enstead of arguing I’ll go with you… can you tell me if there is an heter not to be in a milchemet mitzva because you don’t live in eretz yisrael or is there an heter for someone not to fight in the milchemet mitzva because they already served or rather lo achzor ad kalotam.. I think acording to you every jew should be obligated to go fight until the end of the battle (20 – 60 year olds) when I’ll see the author be mekaim his shitah I’ll take him seriously enough bli neder to check what he wrote…

    when I was a bachur in an american yeshiva a specific older talmid chochom would learn chavrusa with bochrim for free for a zman or half a zman before changing I personally wanted to give him a bracha in my sheva brachus at my wedding but because of presure to give others I didn’t I explained to him that I figured he wasn’t expecting it and won’t get offended whilst the other one who I think desered it less than him might get offended because he expected it… in any case I I was a tutor in an Israeli yeshiva for a very short time (couple of months) I was told I would get paid as you said the yeshiva is only shadchan not that I did for the money but I needed it and lemaase never got paid never got the phone number of the parents and never was I even told that the parents know that the boy learns with me because the one in charge first wanted to see that it is works (meaning to say that the boy comes all the time keilu before we started learing he would come maximum half an hour to seder alef and not every day when we learnt we learnt every day an hour but lemaise he only comes an hour a day so ho said it is matim… but the problem doesn’t mean other options are better some talmidim need it and some yungerlait need it the problem is the money which is always the problem since saro’ shel eisav was nogeah bekaf yerech shel Yaakov…

    there is a big diference…I’m hoping that they aren’t against learning…
    there are people who can’t stay in learning as you wrote the big difference is that it isn’t hard or considered an achievment to be a janitor or to go to the restroom… I mean to say that if someone came to the point were he sees that he has to work now he has to try to make best and what the ad is saying is that after you got to that position work as a cfo and not as a janitor… I have a hard time when I see people take stances like what you wrote I’m a yungerman and a lot of time I see people try to bring others down that is like a janitor that is like the restroom, do you think thay learning is worth more because the other is a janitoy?!?!?!? the other job is a wonderful thing it could be that the job is chesed it could be he does chesed with his money he is able to provide for himself and his family in a kosher way. It’s wonderful that said learning is kium of the whole world and the Ta”z says that the reason chazal say that godol talmud torah yioser mhatzalas nefoshos even though it is not nogea lemaseh because if one sees someone in danger one is mechuiev to stop learning and go help him is to know the truth. chazal didn’t say you should know hatzalas nefashos is like going to the restroom next to talmud torah they said hatzalas nefashos is great but you should know talmud torah is even greater.

    from what i have heard from people who know more than me is that it isn’t yiun is better than bekius or that bekius is better that yiun rather every one has a chelek in torah and H’ made it so that i am natuarally attracted to say… halacha so to me i should focus more on halacha. that being said i read in the book “in their shadow” (thats what i think its called) that the chazon ish held everyone has to do yiun.

    a lot of this quotes that say things about “pilpul” it isn’t what we call pilpul rather a much more complicated probably not emesdik way to learn that people just did to sharpen their minds. not because they thought it was emes but because it would make them sharp R’ Yaakov Pollak took this type of learning to poland i don’t know how many 100s of years ago

    Bechol yoim sheyabo doesnt mean every day you should wait for him coming that day or that he can come on shabbos rather every day i wait for his comming nit necesarily today ie if i knew moshiach is comming in a week from know i could wait for him troughout the whole week. There is a GM’ in Taanis that discussess how come cohanim can get drunk R’ Yehuda, if i recall carrectly, says that since he hasnt come in so much timewe could assume he wont come right now

    although you did make clear you were not writing saying it is lehalacha and you said ypu know most poskim don’t hold like this i would like to mention R’ Ribbiat (i think it is him i dont want to misquote him) that even if the pilot is off it is still assur since the water in the tank is still yad soledes and you are making cold water come in

    even if it is grama it is a a psil reisha which at least by ashkenazim is assur unless done through a derabanon so maybe you could do it with a shinui…

    147 he was referring to present day (i think it sounded like that) and nowadays although hats are not commonly used by society at large they are common among frum jews and it is a distinctive feature of jews (people relate hats to jews so much that the term black hat jew exists)

    writersoul, don’t read this as me being mean it is just i can’t use tone of voice when writing but not trying to fight… how do you get dina demalchusa? dina demalchusa dina is something completely different here you have the choice you should choose the jewish thing even if there is no reason or maybe just a silly reason i have never heard a rav say what i said so i might (very likely as i usually am) be wrong

    to my understanding you go to college twice a week and get a degree from there and your shiur gives you grades that are counted instead of the non essential to the degree classes i am not in yeshiva gedola in ner but i do know several people who are i might be incorrect but i think this is pretty accurate

    to answer some questions that are a little old (2 months) the english names for the parts or the torah are from the gemara names i.e. levitucus is Torahs cohanim so although it isnt a perfect translation one can see where it comes from

    nem621
    Participant

    i am not sure what is better i personally believe that one can take something he himself said as it is is his personal honor but an institution like beis din should not because this is not personal honor it is rather the kovod of torah

    there is a case in Gittin were Rav(or rebbi im not so sure) and his B”D made the wrong valuation of a terrain, the mistake was more than 1/6 of the price, rav (rebbi still not sure) paskened that the object had to be taken back when asked if he didn’t hold like RSHBA”G that “ma koach B”D iaphe” what would people say about the power of beis din he said beis din should not take it back so that people remain honoring its rulings. notice how he took back what he previously said of taking back (gittin fourth perek i believe lamed daled amud beis but not so sure)

    just because Israel passed the US it doesn’t mean they have over half considering there is probably some other million Jews living outside the two of them. even if most live in Israel you have to take out all the jews in southern israel because it is not hallachically part of E”Y (kibush yachid shmei kibush? i believe we dont hold like that)

    i think phsat is that since they were all rashaim it is not such a tragedy and the reason why this are rashaim and not the others is because the others were somehow on a little higher madrega. the only problem i see is, i believe, there is a medrash that says that we don’t say all of hallel on the 7th day because the mitzrim (who were also H’ creations) died at the sea. it could be (have not heard it from anyone and im a 10th grader so im not reliable) that this is the reason why we don’t say a bracha for hallel on the seder.
