It is brought down in mesheces Pesachim yerushalmi(perek 10,halacha 1) that Rebbi would fast erev pesach. There is a machlokes in the Yerushalmi whats the reason Rebbi fasted on erev pesach.One held Rebbe fasted because he was a bechor, and the other held because he was a istainus and wanted to be able to eat the matzah b’teiavon.
Q:Why couldn’t they just see what he did when erev pesach falls out on shabbas and the fast of the bechor is on Thursday?
A:It could be Rebbi held that when erev pesach is on shabbas there is no fast of the becohrim at all (see bais Yosef OC siman 470)It could also be that Rebbi even fasted on Friday like every other Friday(like the Shulchan Aruch OC 248:3) to go into shabbas able to eat. So one could not tell.
A:According to The Chida(Berchei Yosef 470:4) he held when erev pesach is on shabbas the bechorim fast on Friday,and therefore it would seem maybe Rebbi fasted every Friday because he was a istainus.Therefore it remained a safek why he fasted.
When one sells his chametz all his chametz belongs to the non jew and if one finds it on chol hamoed he should put it away with his other locked up stuff. If one did not sell his chametz and found then the halacha of burning applies.
Pesach vort:
What was so special about the seder of these Tannaim? If one takes a deeper look into whom these Tannaim were then one could appreciate the greatness of this get-together.Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yeshoua were both levites, Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Elazar Ben Azariah were cohanim, and Rabbi Akiva was a convert (acc to some).Now one can appreciate the greatness, none of these tannaim have a linage of bondage, yet they sat and talked all night about yetizat mitzrayim! How much more so do we have an obligation to tell over the greatness of Hashem.(Rabbi Nebantzol)
I believe Rav Moshe held buying one is doing histadlus and not more.
The Tiferes Shlomo (Radomska Rebbe)says that the last two words of vayikra ends with ?????????? ????,The radomska Rebbe said we don’t have korbonos to be mechaper for us anymore but we have something else and its called shabbas which is mechaper if one keeps it properly. He said this can be seen from these words:
lamed: L’Kel
Aleph: asher
Shin: shavas
Mem: Mekol
Hei: Hamaseim
Bais: B’yom
Hei: Ha’shevei
The Toras Chaim Haggadah which has a compilation of many Rishonim(12 different) on pashut pshat of the haggadah. Rav Nebontzols haggadah is also great I have the one in Hebrew but I think there is one in English not sure if it is the same thing though.
I am assuming everyone knows the kitzur shulchan aruch, but for those who don’t know it it is 171:3: If in a place where it is normal for a man to use a mirror than it is permitted for everything.

In sefer v’yismah Moshe,Rav Elyashiv was asked this question and he said a mirror is mutar for teffilin since the idea of a mirror has changed and is not considered a tachsit of women nowadays . Interestingly, there is a picture in gedolei yisroel portraits of greatness on page 65 showing Rav elyashiv l’shitoso using a mirror for tefillin.
Yitay: interesting,thank you.
Yitay: He holds using electricity is assur or it is more like what Rav Shlomo Zalaman held that is like a minhag not to ?
Toi: when it comes to pesach I think it is hard to call any minhag a minhag shtus since on pesach there is a inyun to be more machmir than usual.
Sam2: It is a chumrah,pesach always has numerous chumrahs. It is interesting because many don’t eat garlic for other reasons besides for this one.
Coffee Addict: it is another mnemonic, Circumference = pi * diameter = cherry pie delicious. Apple Pies are square or round : Area =P * r2,Area = p*r*r.
Yitay: I hear I was more focused on the electric aspect what is his shitta regarding shabbas and electricity,does he hold that there are any issurim? An electric switch is not really making a fire according to everyone,but it seems he holds it is muttar on the basis it is a mavier issue.
14, classic PEMDAS .
Yitay: I understand,all I am saying is it seems that according to Rav Shlomo Zalman electricity is not really a problem by lights and appliances if it doesnt warm up, he disproves makeh b’patish boneh and others as well. At the end of the day he holds we don’t do it because one will make a mistake with somthing that is assur.wouldn’t that be a concern here?
Yitay: Wouldn’t Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach agree(Minchas Shlomo siman 9,and 11 I think) except in the case of incandescent lights?

Yitay: the ones who hold that it is not jewish bring the gemara in eiruvin that better not to have been born,so why celebrate .the ones who make birthdays when they turn 60,70… base it off pirkei avos.
Gefen: good question. Not everyone says celebrating birthdays is wrong. Whichever way you hold, I don’t think making a machlokes is better than serving a cake. The point is a lot of people celebrate their English birthday which is not even part of the discussion and it is sad that some don’t even know their Hebrew birthday.
Rav Chaim Kanievsky calls it minhag paroh. The Taam vadaas brings down that the Chasam Sofer held one should celebrate his bris day instead of his birthday.
How are people giving yes and no answers when there are different types of elevators that have different mechanisms. Each one has to be identified and then the machlokes of what issurim are involved can be discussed.
Memuchan = Daniel (haman and Daniel equal to 95 that is why his name was changed to memuchan not to associate tzaddik and rasha ,Meom Loez),Charvonah = Eliyahu Hanavi.
Every elevator is made differently and has to be checked by a rav there is no general psak.
more: ” When R’Zeira would see Rabbinim calculating when mashiach will come he would say please don’t delay him,like a brasia: 3 things come when one is not thinking about them ,Mashiach,a metziah,and a scorpion bite”.
R’Shmuel Bar Nachmani said R’Yonaton “Tifach(inflate-afflictions) to people who calculate when mashiach will come, for they say if he doesn’t come on this and this day he will never come,rather wait for him”.
PBA: Rashi megilla(7) writes with wine, Rambam hilchos megilla 2:15 davka wine , Rokeach 237 , Radvaz 1:462 mentions wine. Moadim v’zmanim 2:190 says one should use wine for his ikar drinking and whatever he wants he can add.

There is a sefer called chesronas hashas http://www.dhengah.org/torah/chhashas.pdf
The oldest complete set believed not to have been fully censored is the Daniel Bomberg edition (Italian)
yitay and uneeq: here is the Shevet halevi http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1415&pgnum=196
Loyal Jew: I hope you were just joking,if you weren’t you should read the igros moshe on this inyun.
Some of these mechanchim don’t know the first thing about chinuch. Being put in a lower class is a classic tactic,it accomplishes nothing these things make kids hate yeshiva,sad but true.
Chevraman: See meshches Taanis 30b Rashi Sh’nitnu bo, and Rashi ends with Kach Shemati.
Har Gilboa?
Naisberg: not sure. MDG: The gemara brings v’yeish omreim from Avraham going to eretz Yisrael, so maybe.
It is a gemara in Rosh Hashana 16b . The Gemara says four things tear up a verdict against a person: Charity,crying out to Hashem, changing ones name,changing ones deeds and v’yeish omriem even changing ones place.
Stealing is assur from both. If one wants to be yashrahdik then one should ask,one has nothing to lose by asking.
Zvei dinim: There is a machlokes it is not clear cut as your saying. I can at least appriciate that there is a machlokes,but to say that one does not exist is not fair.
Chacham:it is in shiurim lezecher abba mori 1:pg 228. It means once we don’t know what the chilozon is the only way to say this thing is the chilozon is with a mesorah which was lost. Even with raiyos one needs a mesora. I am sure you read the kovetz tshuvos and tshuvos vhanhagos ,to me they a convincing arguments.
Shmaya and avtalyon,har ararat is in Turkey.
Chacham: There are two versions of what the Bais Halevi held and according to the other version which I qouted (needing a postive mesora) one would have to wait to mashiach(zicrhron avi mori-I think).
bekitur: Navi during Rechavams rule.
Writersoul: It was Ittai.He placed the crown on Dovid?
Chacham: Some hold that there is no techeiles only bzman Bais hamikdash, http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1744&pgnum=3 See 1 and 2. According to the Bais Halevi one needs a postive mesora which we lost.
Longarekel: I guess it is like the same machlokes concerning aggada or science of Chazal.Concerning the two sons it is a gemara in Sanhedrin 96.Interesting pshat.
It was oberlander first turned into chassidish later on.
wolf: A streimal is not considered lo sisgodidu or any chassidish minhagim because in places where there are many groups there is no one accepted shitta. By techeiles it seems that many did not accept to wear it and in places where no one wears it may be a problem for a yachid (this is how I understood it) .
writersoul: you are correct,he did not have children.
Wolf: This is what he held, you can read it in Teshuvos V’hanhagos 1:26 he says he is concerned that it may be a problem of lo sisgodidu(in a community where most do not wear it),and then mentions a person who is unlearned might think they are for sure fulfilling the mitzva of techeiles,and that could be a problem of bal tosef.
Besalal: not evreyone agrees that it does no harm to wear it,I have seen a shitta that one is oiver lo sisgodidu (you can argue),but not everyone agrees.
The Pischei Tshuva(9) brings down the Adnei Paz who brings in the name of HaBachaye that fish and cheese and fish with milk it is assur even midaRabbanan ,but fish and butter is ok(see the whole Pischei Tshuva).
