    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.

    Rav Shlomo Zalman speaks about sleeping past alos and says nowadays there is no problem it is only after you wake up for the day.

    Read 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.

    Parshas 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

    The 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)

    Some 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).

    Toi: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.

    The 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)

    Parshas 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)

    Rav Moshe says it is an obligation (Igros Moshe OC 2:27).Read the SHulchan Aruch (90:9) some learn it differently.

    If 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.

    You 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)

    Parshas 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.

    A 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.

    I 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.
