Kehillas Yaakov AFAIK you can only get from family Barzam at Rechov Rashbam in Bnei Brak.
Seforim of the Brisker Rav you can get at Brisk Yeshiva.
Chazal learn the sholosh shevuos from pesukim in Shir Hashirim. Presumably the mesorah of those drashos were around long before kesuvos was actually written.
maybe time to close this completely inane discussion? it ha long since ceased to be about anything important, and is just about proving health wrong, and he’s admitted it, so fini.
I have heard from a reliable source that there is a menorah in the knesset that was a gift from the government of France. They had this beautiful menorah made, and then looked for a suitable symbolic verse in the Bible to engrave on it. They settled on the verse “kochi v’otzem yodi asah li es hachayil hazeh”.
Speak to a rabbi who knows you personally. I highly doubt anyone on the CR has the ability to answer these questions for your precise situation.
Motzai Shabbos.
That’s absolutely ridiculous. If you put up a fence to protect your lawn am I allowed to damage the fence, because, hey, at least I didn’t damage your lawn, and the fence is only there to protect it?
If you can’t fit in the space without hitting another car, then the space is too small for your car. If you then try and fail you’re liable for all damages.
The gemorah that says trying to look younger is beged isha is in makos 20b.

See Ein Mishpat for where it is brought l’halacha.
Zev7, why can’t that argument be used for drugs as well?
The obvious answer being, drugs are addictive, and take control of you, rather than you controlling them. V’hochi nami…
And that last sentence.
“Two Chief Rabbis of the UK served in that country’s House of Lords.”
If you understand how the British House of Lords operates you’ll know that that could hardly be called being ‘in politics’, certainly not in the context that it’s being used in this discussion.
To be honest I don’t recall ever hearing that mistake.
What really bugs me is when the shat”z whispers the beginning of Modim to himself. He’s supposed to do the exact opposite, to say it loudly enough that everyone can hear it over their own Modim D’Rabbanan.
I thought this would be a post on Synesthesia. Google it.

“To paraphrase the Chofetz Chaim: Just as one may not denigrate another person, one may not denigrate oneself…self denigration is not anivus (humility). Anivus is self-effacement, which is a commendable trait; self denigration is not.” where is this quote from the Chofetz Chaim Ive always heard the story about the Chofetz Chaim dengrating himself on a train and someone slapped him and he said one can’t say lashon hara about himself but then i heard someone say that his grandaughter said that story isn’t true
so i want a source”
To say that the Chofetz Chaim would have paskened a halacha based on the above story is ridiculous. Halacha is paskened based on sources.
Furthermore there is a halacha mefurash in sefer Chofetz Chaim (I forget where precisely) where he says something along the lines of “saying loshon hora that is about someone else and one’s self together is still asur because you’re still saying loshon hora about another”. From that halacha it’s pretty much explicit that loshon hora about oneself is mutar.
Joseph, the Gr”a talks about who the Erev Rav are and how to identify them. See Even Sheleima (in the new editions I think it’s perek 11. In the old ones it’s from siman 152 and onwards. http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49285&hilite=77bc56fa-eef6-4eee-9fc2-c8a336c15a15&st=%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%91+%D7%A8%D7%91&pgnum=65)
To summarise he says there are five types:
Ba’alei machlokes and loshon hora
Ba’alei taavah
People whose insides don’t match their outsides (fakers)
Those who chase after kavod
Those who chase after money.
