    Parshas Shemos: Kli Yakar – Two Reactions To The Oppression In Mitzrayim

    “Vayei’anchu Bnei Yisrael Min HaAvodah Vayizaku; Bnei Yisrael sighed from the work and they cried.” (Shemos 2:23). The Kli Yakar asks, “Why does the pasuk separate the sighing and crying instead of putting them together?”

    He answers that there were two distinct reactions to the Koshi HaShibud. The first group were the good people. When they could no longer shoulder the pain, they cried to Hashem to relieve them. The second group cried but not to Hashem. They lamented their plight and complained against Hashem. “These two groups,” says the Kli Yakar, “needed to be mentioned separately and not in the same breath.”

    History has shown this time and time again. Bnei Yisrael has faced many periods of oppression. Some people scream to Hashem, while some blame Hashem and walk away altogether. The Kli Yakar adds that pasuk ends, “Vataal Shavasam El HaElokim; The cries were heard by Hashem.” But whose cries were heeded? “Min HaAvodah,” only the group who cried to Hashem from the Avodah, and not the ones who rebelled because of it.

    The Chofetz Chaim Of Email

    I saw a very thought provoking exchange between two people, discussing today’s communication technology. Until now electronic communication primarily revolved around email. When writing an email most people write it and then reread it, making technical corrections as well as contextual. Often after reading an email we will edit out parts deeming them inappropriate. It may have seemed fine when writing it, but when you judge it as a reader you realized it is better not said or at least said in a different way.

    Then there is instant messaging. Unlike email when the reader and writer are not communicating in real time, and the reader reads it whenever he has a chance, the exchanges here are live and in real time with both people reading and responding as soon as the message is received. Even here, however, each person writes their thoughts, edits them and then hits the send button. As one writes, the person on the other end just sees a message telling him that his friend is in middle of typing but he does not know what is being written.

    Recently a new technology allows the recipient to see each letter as the writer types it. Sounds great, doesn’t it? You don’t need to wait and wonder. You watch it happen, as it happens. People all over the world are marveling at this communication breakthrough. One fellow however was not so impressed. “I am a terrible speller! Do you think I want the other person to see all my mistake before my spellchecker saves me shame? Besides I write so many dumb sarcastic jokes that I usually end up erasing them and saving myself lots of grief. Now every word I think of typing will be out there and can’t be taken back!”

    These are pretty valid gripes. However after hearing this argument, another fellow wanted to know why he was suddenly so concerned about letting inappropriate remarks slip out of his computer, while he doesn’t seem to disturbed about comment that roll off the tip of his tongue. You can’t take those back either. Do you have an internal voice editing system, the commenter wanted to know?

    Many thinkers, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, decry the breakdown of good old communication. People no longer speak to each other, they email and text message in terribly impersonal ways. They are curt and don’t develop their speech. Here is another way of looking at it. It is great!!! From a Daas Torah perspective we talk way more than we should. And when we start, every last comment and then some, come tumbling out of our mouths uncensored.

    Sure the internet has its dangers, and as per our gedolim it should be avoided to the greatest extent possible. But the telephone was probably the greatest communication disaster in technology history. It changed the way we speak forever. Not seeing the person we are talking with made it that much easier to get wrapped up in our own thoughts without considering what we are saying or that someone is actually listening. Email however takes us a century back in time when communication meant thinking about what we say, reviewing it to make sure its appropriate and not hurtful, and lastly only saying what we need to say without rambling on from topic to topic, unimpeded.

    So why is it that we are careful with the written word but not the spoken word? Probably because we have this notion that words disappear into thin air. Once we say it, we tend to move on and we don’t realize that just like the written word that can be read and reread, the spoken word can scar a person’s heart and be replayed over and over again in their mind after we have long forgotten our hurtful utterances. An off the cuff response about another person can have repercussions for many generations and alter a person’s life and future.

    We may never be the Chofetz Chaim but now that we’ve learned to respect the written word and it forms an essential part of our daily communications, we need to transfer some of this accountability to our spoken word. As frum Yidden we truly believe that each word is recorded and will be replayed to us in front of the Heavenly court. We know that Ozen Shomaas, the great ear in Shamayim is listening. But more than listening, even our spoken words are being written down on a very large computer faraway above the land. Not only do we need to be careful before we hit the send button we need to be just as careful before opening our mouth. Because when non-Jews start giving Mussar about Shmiras HaLashon, we ought to listen carefully

    Parshas Shemos: Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky – With All The Chesed, It’s Only About Yiras Shamayim

    Shifra and Puah, two nurses, were commanded by the mightiest man on earth, Paroh the King of Mitzrayim, to kill all male born Jews. They not only disobeyed his command, but to add insult to injury, they even provided food and comfort to the newborn children. Their bravery and kindness was incomprehensible.

    Yet, when the Torah mentions their greatness it says (Shemos 1:21), “Vayehi Ki Yaru HaMiyaldos Es HaElokim Vayaas Lahem Batim.” Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky says, “We see a great lesson here. They were rewarded in kind by Hashem, but not for their outstanding mesiras nefesh, and not for their chesed. They were rewarded for their Yiras Shamayim.

    To rise to great heights one needs extraordinary levels of Yiras Shamayim. And when you reach those heights, it is the gigantic underlying Yiras Shamayim that is your true achievement. Accomplishments are not in our hands, nor is it something we should take pride in. Yiras Shamayim is!”

    Someone once called me to ask about my neighbors. One of the inane questions was “what do they eat on Shabbos?”

    It came to mind when I saw this letter in this months Community Magazine

    I know of quite a few “good family activities” in Montreal.

    Every time we go it is because of a “family activity”.

    Simchos in the family and by Mechutanim, being with the Einiklich and their parents, spending quality time with a sibling.

    As for the final Halacha, Hacham David Yosef rules in his Torat Ha’mo’adim (Hanukah, p. 126) that one should preferably stipulate before lighting candles on eighth and final night of Hanukah that the status of Kedusha applies only to the oil that burns during the first half-hour. Then, if the candles burn for a half-hour or longer, he may use the leftover oil as he pleases. If he did not make such a stipulation, or if he did but the candles were extinguished within a half-hour, then he should collect the leftover oil after Hanukah and burn it separately. Leftover oil from the candles lit on the first seven nights should simply be used for lighting the subsequent night, which is permissible according to all authorities

    From a shiur by Horav Eli Mansour http://www.dailyhalacha.com/Display.asp?PageIndex=1&ClipID=1559

    Technically this should only apply to the amount of oil needed to light for the first half hour since beyond that is not a mitzva. However since a person does not specifically say this, we are machmir and do not use any of the oil. What about leftover oil from the bottle that was never used? The Biur Halacha says that this oil is not assur in any manner since it wasn’t in a lit glass

    But he was dressed in a silk shirt and necktie. He is still a Teyere Yid. That is exactly the kind of Bigdei Shabbos that I as was referring to. Well it seems that my demographics are wrong. I doubt if you would pull off the highway on Erev Shabbos (or any other day) to help a fellow Jew Well maybe not to help change a tire, since I am not very skilled in that area, but I have gone out of my way many many times to help a Yid. I can boast all I want since no one knows who I am so there is no problem of ???? ) Without seeing a picture of you I can (probably) draw an accurate image of you and your manner of speech. If you imagined me with a Shtreimel you are wrong

    A stupidity even when all turns out well remains a stupidity

    If you just got off the GWB 1 1/2 hours before the zman when did you leave?

    Twenty odd years ago we left BP at 3:00 on a Friday when the Zman was 7:00. We ended up in a super jam on the West Side Highway. At 5:00 we were at the Intrepid so I turned around & headed back home. We arrived home with plenty of time to get our corner grocer to let us in through the back door and fill up a cart with chala Kedem gefilte fish Meal Mart cold cuts etc. etc. It was so close to Shabbos that Mr. S. did not come down to check us out.

    According to the Debreciner Rav ??”? if you do not allow yourself at least twice the normal travelling time you are a ?…?? ???

    Figuring travelling time from the GWB to Monsey at 30 min. You arrived at your host 1 hour before Zman at best. You call that plenty of time?

    Maybe this ??? ???? was so embarrassed at being caught on the PIP so close to ??? he did not want to be identified so he deviated from the ??? & fabricated a name & told you he lives in Haverstraw. How many Yiden who wear ???? ???

    Correction

    do something NEW and be competitively priced

    If it is NEW it has to be REASONABLY priced. You wont have any competition if it is NEW.

    For an example take products like Kosher Lamp and some of Ner Mitzva’s items. They have no competition but still have to be reasonably priced.

    The Elya Rabbah writes (170:11) that one should use utensils to eat with and refrain from using their hands. Additionally, one should refrain from taking large bites of food and make sure not to get any food particles caught in their beard or on their clothing. The Elya Rabbah concludes by stating all these guidelines should be followed even when one eats alone in his home. The Piskei Teshuvos writes (170:11) that if it is accepted by the general public to eat a certain food with one’s hands (i.e. jelly donuts, bagels, or pizza), there is nothing wrong with eating without utensils. However, the Piskei Teshuvos quotes others who say that it is best to be stringent in this area and always use a fork and knife. http://revach.net/halacha/food/Jelly-Donuts-With-a-Fork-and-Knife/3176

    Mod 80 That is actually the basis for those who are Matir since it is not a Ksav Hamiskayehm

    just interrupting the flow of electrons and preventing the words from being formed in the future

    Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach: Disposable Ready Made Neiros Chanukah

    There is a machlokes whether you may use a throw away cup for Kiddush on Shabbos. What about Neiros Chanuka, may you use the throw away glasses that come complete with oil and wick inside and are disposed each day?

    The Halichos Shlomo (2:15:5) writes that Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach was matir L’chatchila. In the footnotes below it explains that the whole question is based on whether it is nice for the mitzva of Chanuka to use a throw away item. Since this throw away item is made special for use on Chanuka Rav Shlomo Zalman holds that it is permissible without any reservation.

    The Minchas Yitzchok however holds that the problem with a throw away items is that it may not be considered a Keili. To this Rav Shlomo Zalman says that a Keili is not subject to the criteria of multi-use. The question is looking at the Keili itself is it sufficient to be considered a vessel.

    Assuming that cantoresq stands for Cantor Esq. (Robert or Jay?) I give up.Maybe someone who is better informed, & has better debating skills than I will take up the fight.

    Beides I grew up under the influence of the ???? ???? who said ?????? ???? ????”?. What is today’s Chasidus?? Good question which I am not equipped to answer

    I stand by my theory until someone provides a text proof that predates the Besht,

    The mitzvah tantz as practiced by by some misguided Chassidim today does not stem from the Besht

    BTW In Skver no one neither her father nor the Choson holds the Kala’s hand

    It certainly is no worse than the Mezhinke Tantz

    What a comparison!!The Mezhinke Tantz has no mekor & is clearly a custom to have crept in “Am Haaretz” Jewish practice The parents have swept their house

    WIY I hope you are taking my refference to you as a compliment.

    cantoresq wrote

    Remember early chassidut was not populated by the greatest scholars especially among the laity.

    Did you mean to imply that neither were the Founders & Leaders of Chasidut the greatest scholars? ???? ????? !!!!

    True the Mitzva Tantz is not (in some circles) what it should be

    but to blame the early Chasidim and to say they were influenced by the Goyish environment is unmitigated Chutzpa. And is ?????? ???? ???? as practiced in some circles what ??”? meant???

    For more detail of the Minhag & its origins including a direct quote & citation from Machzor Vitry go http://tinyurl.com/336vbzb & page over (using the arrow under the masthead)to ??”? ??? ?
