Shmoel: Thats not what Rav Shlomo Zalamnan says,he says that since people sleep later nowadays it is not a problem only after you are awake for the day.The Mishna Brura also says if one sits and is mevatel his time it is like he is sleeping anyways.
sam4321ParticipantHappiest: it is not a myth it is a yerushalmi.
sam4321ParticipantRav Shlomo Zalman speaks about sleeping past alos and says nowadays there is no problem it is only after you wake up for the day.
sam4321ParticipantRead Rama 583:2 and the Mishna Brura(Hanar towards the end) which brings down the Arizal who said it is mutar after chatzos.Regarding learning or tehillim the Mishan Brura brings down learnig after eating but also brings down that some are noheg to say the whole tehilim.
sam4321ParticipantParshas Hazinu:
The gematria of the Passuk: Ki lo davar reik hu mekem(for it is not a empty matter for you,rather it is your life…) = to the word Gematriot.(Rabbi Munk on Aleph Bais,Tosefes Berachah)
There is also a great vort from Pninim Meshulchan HaGra on Passuk 32:39
sam4321ParticipantThe famous prayer we say on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur:U’Tshuva U’Teffila U’tzadaka… is crowned with the words tzom, kol, and mamon respectively.If you take the gematria of these words it will add up to 408(each is 136*3=408).The Kohen Gadol who was the representative of klal yisroel on yom kippur for the atonement services was only allowed into the Kodesh Kadashim once a year.This special service(mentioned in the Torah) which was once a year starts off with the word Ba’Zos(with this) Shall the Kohen enter the Kodesh Kadashim.The numeric value of the word Zos is 408 even the Kohen needed this special formula which was critical to the service. Another instance of the word Zos is used when Dovid HaMelech fought Golias he said BaZos(tzom,kol,mamon) I trust that God will assist me.(Nachal Kedumim)
sam4321ParticipantSome people make challah with 6 strands and then braid them together.The six is keneged the 6 days of melacha and the whole challah representing Shabbath.Like the idea of you work 6 days and rest on shabbath (olam hazeh for olam habah).
sam4321ParticipantToi:I know yeshivish people who read garden of peace and gained alot from it.The book has the haskama of R’Eliezer Berland and the Melitzer Rebbe.In addition, the book doesn’t make you a faker it opens your mind to understanding what marriage is really about.if one doesn’t truly act like themselves on a date it is not due to the dating books they read rather they are not true to themselves which applies to everything they do.
sam4321ParticipantYou understand perfectly.That is what she chose and that is what making a sacrafice means.
sam4321ParticipantGarden of peace
sam4321ParticipantThere is a good website = koshershaver.
sam4321ParticipantIt is a generic term and is way over used.
sam4321ParticipantSam2:I am sorry,thanks for the explanation.
sam4321ParticipantThe fact that women perpetuate the Jewish linage seems to me they play a big role.
sam4321ParticipantSam2: It is the opposite,Rav Chaim says since it is the wall of Har Habayis it is mutar to touch it.(Shailos Rav)
sam4321ParticipantIt is brought down in Sefer Taamei Minhagim(pg 270 asterisk)and brings a story of the Ohr Hachaim who wrote one for someone who needed a yeshua to put it in the Kotel.
Toi: Not sure if it is the kvitlach or the removal that you are referring to, but they bury the papers in har hazaeisim.
sam4321ParticipantSam2: Its the Tur.
sam4321ParticipantThe Biur Halacha (199:Nashim) brings the Vilna Gaon who says that the Halcha is like the Rosh that they are obligated,but ends of saying we don’t do it(not noheg).
sam4321ParticipantThe Shaagas Aryeh says that nowadays we are exempt from the mitzva of writting a sefer Torah because we are not experts in which words have extra or missing letters and it could make a Torah pasul. Therefore the mitzva nowadays is a D’Rabbanan.Therefor the Chasam Sofer writes that we do not make a bracha on writing a Torah because it might be pasul.
Q1:So why then do we make a bracha on the Torah before and after if it might be pasul?
Q2:In addition, if we are not experts in the area of extra or missing letters then why by teffilin which there is a machlokes of the word totofos(Tur 36)to we have no pproblem,and we wear and make a bracha on it?
A1:the Rama(143:4) brings down that b’deieved you could make a bracha on a pasul Torah.Therefore if we do not know if it is kosher or pasul we can make a bracha in order to read the Torah b’tzibur.
A2:The Minchas Chinuch(613) brings down that klal yisroel are experts in writing teffilin since we do it on a constant basis and we are very careful in preserving the mesora.So there is no question that they are surely kosher.(M’rafsin Igri)
sam4321ParticipantPeacemaker: Chiyuv D’Rabbanan
sam4321ParticipantParshas Vayalech:
The parsha discusses the mitzvah of hakel which mentions to bring children.The gemara in Chagiga brings a story about two talmidim visting R’ Yehoshua.R’ Yehoshua asked them what new thing did you learn,they didn’t want to answer,but eventually they answered that by the mitzva of hakel men come to learn ,women come to hear, and children come to give shchar to the ones who brought them.R Yehoshua then said why did you want to hid a precious gem from me.Why was this teaching so precious to R’ Yehosua?
Rebbi Yosef Chaim says you could be medyiuk from the gemara that men come to learn women come to hear,if it is talking about women who understand then they are like men who learn but if they don’t understand then the same question could be asked on them as the question of children .
However there is a Zohar(shlach)that women learn Torah in gan eden ,but how do they know how to learn if they do not do so in olam hazeh?Women hear men learning Torah so from the hearing of Torah their Neshama collects it and from their they know.
So now we can answer why this was so precious for R’ Yehoshua.In a mishna in Avos(2:8) R’Yochanan ben Zakai was giving praise on his talmidiem and by R’Yehoshua he said Praiseworthy is the one who gave birth to him.The Rav on the Mishna brings down that his mother would bring him to the bais medrash as a young infant.So up until now R’Yeshoua thought what was the point in being brought to the bais medrash at such a young age.From the reason they told him even though he didn’t understand what was being said his neshama collected what was being said,and that was the shachar halicha.(Kemotzo Shlal Rav)
sam4321ParticipantRav Moshe says it is an obligation (Igros Moshe OC 2:27).Read the SHulchan Aruch (90:9) some learn it differently.

sam4321Participantdeiyzooger:
You do the minhag of the Vilna Gaon?(cut both loaves)
sam4321ParticipantWhen I said before erev yomtov I meant erev yomtov itself.
sam4321ParticipantIt can be done a few days before ,but it is better to do it before erev yomtov.(I think this is what Rav Shmuel Kamentsky holds)
sam4321ParticipantIn other words you ask a posek or your rav.
sam4321ParticipantShulchan Aruch 581:4 says to get one erev Rosh Hashanah.
sam4321Participantwherever you want it to fall,in the case I am talking about it is mutar.
sam4321ParticipantIf a drop of milk falls into a pot of meat and there is 60 times more meat than the drop then the food is mutar.The question is, is it assur to throw out the food since one is uncomfortable to eat something which milk fell into even though it is 100 percent mutar or one cant be machmir on wasting mutar food?
The Pri Toar holds that one may be machmir on himself and not eat the food. However, the Toras Ha’asham holds very strongly that since the Torah said it is permitted one should eat it and not throw it out. Similarly, the Darchai Tshuva brings the Bnei Yisachar and Shla’ah that also say that one should eat it and there is no midas chasidus not to eat it rather it is a mitzvah to eat it. With this he explains the Chazal “???? ????? ????? ??? ???? ???? ????” that a person that legitimately works to find a proper heter for something and eats it is greater then one who has yiras shamaim and does not eat it.
sam4321ParticipantPeacemaker:
I am not sure,I would guess the women of the time were noheg to say it,from the wording of the Tur.(do not take this a factual I am just speculating)
sam4321ParticipantThe next question in the shailos Rav is can one eat a person made from Sefer Yetzira A:ain zeh pashut.In the footnotes it brings down two tzadim explaining why yes and why no .
sam4321ParticipantHaLeiVi:
So then what is the difference between using shemios of creation and shamyim.That is how Rav Chaim is learning the usage of sefer Yetzira.
Sam2:
Doesn’t the Chacham Tzvi answer his own question using the story of R’zeira and Rava that a golem does not count,and the Mishna Berurah quotes the Chacham Tzvi.
sam4321ParticipantIt is mashma from the Tur(46) that women themselves instituted the bracha.(v’nahagu ha’nashim).
sam4321ParticipantI agree that it is unclear who yeshu was, but in regards to his existence he is quoted by the rishonim.
sam4321ParticipantGezeilas nochri assur
sam4321ParticipantSince if you were created a woman you would be mechuyv in less mitzvos.It has nothing to do with men being better or not.
sam4321ParticipantI agree, that is why Ulla said you don’t need to look for a zuchus.I am just saying agav that he probably was mechalel shabbas.
sam4321ParticipantNice one regesh,very interesting.
sam4321ParticipantIf you look at the hagoas HaBach in Sanhedrin(43a)it talks about yeshu and his five talmidiem who were killed erev pesach for being a mesis(b’pashtus he was also mechalel Shabbas).
sam4321ParticipantYou are correct with regards to the sheimos(The Shlah Hakadosh).Your question is good but it is on the gemara in Shanhadrin(59b).The Gemara brings a story with Reb Shimon ben Chalafta where there were lions and two slabs of meat came from shamyim and one he took to the bais medriash.He asked is it a treifh or kosher,they answered ain tameh min hashamyim.(ayin shum)
sam4321ParticipantI also like that sn
sam4321Participantravshalom:
That savora is terrible to say the least.There are people who do not know that there is an idea of putting in a password.Even if they did know their is no inyun of hefeker if it is in their possession,just because you could see connections of available WiFi doesn’t mean you could latch on.(one would be makpid if it made things slower for them)
sam4321ParticipantYes,it does slowdown connectivity(runs slower).
sam4321ParticipantParshas Nitzavim:
??????? ??????? ??? ?????? ????????(the wood choppers and water drawers).The gemara in yevamos(79) explains that these people where from giveon who converted. The question is, how can they convert if in the same mesechta it says that a convert needs mila,mikveh,and accepting all the mitzvos,but they where in the midbar and were exempt from mila(it was a sakana). There is a gemara in yoma which explains that it is better to live and do many mitzvos then to die doing one. Given this reason we can now understand how they converted in the midbar. A jew can perform all mitzvos,but a goy cannot until they convert. So a goy can technically take the risk of dying to perform one mitzvah of mila since without mila they cant perform any.(Panim Yafos)
Look how great and powerful one mitzvah is.
sam4321ParticipantThe mekor is the gezeiras hakasuv.The mekor you mention shows a lack of creditably which in reality they are kosher for.
sam4321ParticipantIts all relative,it all depends where a person is holding in life.If one is learning all day then to him it is,but if a person is not learning anyways and by learning these topics will help strengthen their emunah then why not.
sam4321ParticipantIf in that time you could be learning Torah surely you should learn. since one was commanded to learn Torah and not other subjects(unless necessary for Torah learning.
sam4321ParticipantA woman is disqualified to be a witness because of a gezeiras hakasuv.
This is not due to her lack of creditably. We find cases where there is someone who ate chelev but the eiydim don’t know if it was assur or mutar.A woman is believed based on her credibility to testify on the subject matter whether it was assur or mutar.
sam4321ParticipantI think the gemara you are referring to is daf 5b? The gemara says there is no din of hazamah(killing them) until there is a gemar din on the accused.Once the accused is dead,there is no din of hazama(not like the tzudukim).I am not really clear what you are asking.
