A tall Succah is no doubt a different type of room, one which will necessarilly be built strong. The fact that walls are strong is not a defining character of the room.
Rashi is addressing your question. He explains that since strong includes weak, the Torah is not excluding a strong Succah. Rather, it is a Siman for the Shiur of the Succah.
He did? So what were we doing until now!?
147, starting on a number higher than 1 is not unique to the Shas. Many books count the title page as the first. If you didn’t know what I meant, what did you think I was referring to?
If you are following the Gemara’s standard then she actually has no access no the bank accounts. In fact, even when she makes money she is supposed to hand it over to him. This is because the financial responsibility is his. He is Mechuyav to give her money for all her needs.
This is a partnership and she has a right to say that she’ll rather take care of her own expenses, in which case she keeps her wages and he doesn’t have to give her money for her needs.
Most families these days treat it like equal partners while one is more in charge of the checkbook.
Someone who doesn’t expend much effort on making the money can’t grasp the issue with spending what you have. On the other hand, it is easy to dismiss someone else’s needs or strong desires as extra and unnecessary. When both of you are more aware of the other’s inner feelings you will be able to make more informed decisions.
…or a few other such examples cited by Ibn Ezra and a few other classic commentators
As the Avi Ezer writes, ????? ?? ??? ????.
Daas, thanks. I completely missed that message.
Oh, Ok.
If you read Rashi carefully, you will notice that the issue is that people don’t erect this type of structure for the purpose of shade. We learn from the pasuk to build a shade structure booth as a Succah, but this shape is not that.
It’s the same reason Beis Din punishes, for the sake of the rest of us. To show that Yesh Din Veyesh Dayan. It is hard to grasp why some get something here and some don’t, but it is all about establishing the Malchus of HKBH on this world.
Titus got something, a token of recognition that Hashem is here and is aware and is able to punish. It was not his punishment for his crimes. Carpet-chewer got away with it, although his country did suffer. Obviously, that was deemed sufficient to show how ultimately light will prevail over darkness.
Alef of any Masechta is pretty much the same. I’m taking the day off.
Anyone with an ant problem?
Indeed. Cars are slipping and sliding. It’s very dangerous out there.
Why do you assume that upon hearing this story, this was the main impression? The main lesson of this story is that it is all in the name. That’s why the story is mentioned in the first place. However, when discussing washing the hands, it was said that Mayim Rishonim fed non-Kosher meat and Mayim Achronim killed a person.
Actually, what the gemara says is that lack of Mayim Rishonim fed someone Tarfus and mayim Achronim caused death. It was said as an observation of these two things rather than a summary of the story.
And also, that a Rasha will come from the other world to help his son do another Aveira.
PM, would you apply tat same logic to give enjoyment to your stomach while having your head whacked?
Did you see the Medrash Popa referred to?
What about LiveDaf?
You really think you deserve an answer?
Hilchos Tefisa (grabbing, not jail).
Popa, The New York Times is not part of my Daf Yomi. Mah Ksiv Bah?
But on the other hand, without any Issur at all it would be Me’abed Atzmo. However, Grama is definitely Assur and is Chayav Bidei Shamayim.
Now we are supposed to drink Yayin Rishon. Next month we drink Yayin Sheni.
Interesting. The Svara of Mai Chazis still applies but there is no Chiyuv Misa.
At first I wondered why there is no other possibility between Rebbi Yochanan and a Rasha. But after seeing what his Rishus was I realized that he was not Ivan the Terrible.
I’d make a private Geirus and keep the affair quiet, to avoid it dragging on.
Popa, if you are truly an original Moony, would I have to tell you THIS?
Popa, since when is a Moony angry at the Chasidim?
Are you in the NY area?
They are hit.
Does he use a different screen name for each wife?
I can’t imagine what else is “the real stuff.” Are you really Charlie Hall?
Along the lines of Fkelly, I also had periods of losing friends and the like. As an introvert you learn to choose your friends carefully and you land up with lasting friendships with stronger bonds than shouting and running together.
Write a diary. But be careful: someone will read it, either against your will or when they read your will.
Is that selective reading? I wrote how to deal with her. Then I wrote to understand that this is not a tragedy, and it should be understood in the right context. The issue seems to be imagined, since a large part of the sob is about the natural situation, and looking at everybody else as having fun-filled, busy lives while she is left out of it all. Thinking this way probably made her view friendships the same way, and it sounds thrown in as well.
So yes, she is going through something so be nice and be a real friend. But don’t eat yourself up over it. It is something that will pass. Just like you grew past thinking you’re ugly you’ll grow past these feelings.
That’s from the Baal Hatanya, IIRC.
Daas, that reminds me of my Cheshbon during a lazy stint: You can’t learn Gemara without Rashi, so if I understood the Gemara I must have been Mechaven to Rashi.
To tell you the truth, the whole problem sounds like teenage temporary attitude stuff. People compare their life with others and are suddenly overwhelmed with self-pity.
Health, is nice to hear that you are out. How are you?
The cork costs nothing. The bottle without a cork would cost $4. When they add the cork they charge you another 10¢ for the bottle.
OK. So then your regular self.
You had to have been aware of the difference between corn meal and corn flour. There is supposed to be a difference in Brachos based on that.
Telling her to come to you is nice but it doesn’t address the part of her feeling like a tag-along. But you can make a friendship. Don’t (just) invite her into a larger affair. To things with her alone. Visit her on Shabbos. But still, don’t dedicate your life to this cause and don’t drop your friends.
Something very important for this and for many situations, kindness is more than your outward expression. When you smile to someone, don’t think to yourself that you have to smile to this ‘Nebech.’ Although you are aware that the initial cause of you friendship with her began for her benefit, there is no reason to relate this to yourself, to actively entertain this idea, ever again.
Sam, I was surprised to see your conversational comment labeled as sharp. Perhaps the ellipsis sounded sarcastic.
The OP described putting the patient into a state where they won’t ask for food or drink. This is not any less than Bidka Demaya, where he ties a person and places him in the path of water that will eventually drown him. This has nothing to do with allowing a person to die naturally. I don’t think you understood the OP the same way I did, because I can’t imagine that you disagree with this.
Ah. It’s hard to believe that you’ve been posting with two usernames throughout the McCarthy period.
Popa, the Yad Moshe has a blog (that I don’t read).
A Bochur once came to Reb Avraham Tropp (son of the Granatt) to be interviewed to join his Yeshiva. After saying a piece in the Gemara, Rav Tropp told the Bochur to say Rashi. The Bochur replied that he doesn’t do Rashi. In response, Rav Avraham chased him out of the Beis Medrash.
1 – “Good Erev Shabbos.”
2 – “You’re welcome.”
We need another layer, the pre-mods. They will choose what to allow a moderator to read. And now, I’ll leave the looping and leaping for The Frog.
Even if you won’t get Missa in Beis Din, since it is like Bidka Demaya, there is still Misa Biyedei Shamayim.
Do you have another Seder when you learn for real?
What are you going to do when we get up to Rosh Hashana, you’ll Chazzer it with Tosafos and Rishonim?
