HaLeiViParticipant
No. This is within reach. It is ibnEzrish.
HaLeiViParticipantWho’s the guy missing an Aleph?
HaLeiViParticipantHow does the branch on the opposite side know the shape of its counterpart?
HaLeiViParticipantThe Torah is a Chiyuv, not just good advice. The Mitzvos are Gezeiros Melech. Delving into the reasoning helps relate to the Mitzva and therefore to accomplish more with it. But we never know the full reason, which is why we need the 13 methods of deriving Torah. The Pasuk says, ??? ???? ????? ?? ???? ????? ???.
The greatest Chiddush I’ve seen yet is to call Leshem Hashem, Shelo Lishma, and Leshem yourself, Lishma.

Anyhow, I read it like Logician but then I had Daas Yochid’s problem. Now, looking back, I see that he says, ???? ????, not, ??? ????. It is not an answer to, ??”?. He answers that by saying, ???? ??? ??????, which clearly means that Hashem judges the heart and each individual’s Nisyonos and rewards accordingly. Then he goes on to say that we see from here how great Tznius is.
January 23, 2014 4:03 am at 4:03 am in reply to: Why does R' Yoichanan need a possuk for chatzi shi'ur? #999425HaLeiViParticipantHow do we know that Rebbe Yochanan learns from the Svara? That was the Braysa talking. Also, very often the Svara is not necessarily how we came to the conclusion, but rather a description of the Shita. And on the flip side, we often have Limudim based on the Svara.
HaLeiViParticipantSo now we have, in the CR, a LF. So that would be 0D0A.
HaLeiViParticipantYour two statements don’t work together.
January 20, 2014 6:55 pm at 6:55 pm in reply to: Why did kimchis have seven sons who were kohen gadol #1001637HaLeiViParticipantRashi explains why it should make a difference. They were just telling her that obviously it isn’t as simple as she made it sound. But nobody suggested that she lied.
HaLeiViParticipantWhat is Jewish clothing?
HaLeiViParticipantWhile people are visualizing the shopping cart, I’m visualizing a judgmental guy staring at all passing shopping carts, evaluating their philosophical value.
HaLeiViParticipantThe backup, which has the name of ~001WRD.doc or something like that is from the autosave. If you don’t close the file normally it can get it from there.
HaLeiViParticipantCopy it from the html file and paste in into a new .txt file. Then go to SaveAs and choose UTF-8 in the ANSI type box.
HaLeiViParticipantAn easy way to follow through with Dash®’s advice is to change the file name to .html and to the top of the page add the following :
<META charset=windows-1255 >
HaLeiViParticipantDaas, I think this is the absolute first time that the (secret) mainstream approach is brought up.
HaLeiViParticipantChildhood. It’s purpose is to prepare for later, you think it will never end, and you interpret everything to your terms.
HaLeiViParticipantIf you have an idea of what it said you can search and replace letter by letter. If it is not private and you post it here, perhaps I can help.
HaLeiViParticipantPerhaps you want to go through Derech Hashem and Daas Tevunos of the Ramchal. The Ramchal has a very flowing style and it is very organized. It is easy to understand deep and essential concepts.
January 15, 2014 10:59 pm at 10:59 pm in reply to: Why did kimchis have seven sons who were kohen gadol #1001631HaLeiViParticipantThe proof is that if he had the issue of not being able to cure someone of something, he was obviously a doctor.
HaLeiViParticipantIt could be that you don’t view the mother as human.
HaLeiViParticipantYou mean the Ben Ish Chai’s Tefilla for an Esrog?
HaLeiViParticipantWIY, I’m not lecturing a Goyish newspaper. I’m referring to the tolerance within our people, that I was somewhat surprized to encounter.
First Avoda Zara was tolerated by pointing to and twisting some Shitos Rishonim. Next came Gilui Arayos, and we hear, it’s a free country and how can you vote against it. After that, Shefichas Damim becomes light in our eyes as well. We start hearing lessons and Tziduk Hadin of someone else. We get Lashon Hara and Motze Shem Ra of a murdered person.
If someone gets arrested and you want to point to that, is one thing. I can’t stop thinking about the agony of his family and his anguish of his last moments. Somehow, frighteningly, it’s just another something to watch while munching popcorn, or better yet, to bounce your next article off.
I pray for the day of Vahasirosi Lev Ha’even Mikirbeich.
HaLeiViParticipantDo you stir your tea clockwise or otherwise?
How to fold a tissue to get be able to get the most out of it?
HaLeiViParticipantOh. It’s caused by smelling salts?
HaLeiViParticipantEh. I thought you meant it, until I read the last line. Then I realized it’s just a trick.
HaLeiViParticipantI wasn’t on either of those threads simply because they are boring and predictable. However, since people mix concepts and complain accordingly, I just want to explain the diffference between a fight and Lashon Hara. In a fight, you are attacking the known ideology, or behavior, purely based on that ideology itself. Lashon Hara means revealing a different picture than what is assumed.
Syag’s post illustrates my point.
HaLeiViParticipantStreek, thanks for linking to this. I thought it is one of those threads and never bothered to click. I would have missed out. (OK. Back to NotePad…)
HaLeiViParticipantDid you put a miniature frog on the dashboard, with a bobbing head, as a reminder?
January 7, 2014 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm in reply to: Tuesday of Parshas Beshalach … Parshas HaMon Day #997715HaLeiViParticipantx5
HaLeiViParticipantThe Gemara says that if someone looks to Shamayim to punish a friend, he gets punished first. The Maharal explains that this person is seeking bad and therefore gets that himself. And although Hashem also punishes, that is for the purpose of the gain for that person or the universe, but it is impossible for a human to seek revenge without the badness.
Any parent can understand this. The difference between the parent punishing and a sibling is a big one.
HaLeiViParticipantYes, we learn from Hashem’s Middos of discipline. What does that have to do with hitting a friend you are angry at? We also learn from Hashem how to act as a judge — if you are one.
The response, to only learn from His positive traits, is sad but it made me laugh.
HaLeiViParticipantOr the whirlpool next door…(…(…))
HaLeiViParticipantHow’d you get there?
January 7, 2014 1:41 am at 1:41 am in reply to: If people would come back from the other side… #997421HaLeiViParticipantIf you would get a peek of the ‘other side’ what would you think when you look back?
HaLeiViParticipantIf he correctly concluded that, why did he arm them? Sure, to conclude something after the fact is not that hard.
However, I wouldn’t put the blame on him alone. Most Republicans were upset that he didn’t go in.
There is nothing better for Arab countries than a strong government. If it means a dictator than we should settle for that. America’s stand on Mubarak was a complete failure, as is evident now. The same goes for Q/G/Kaddafi, who was practically harmless, at least as far as the west is concerned, at the time of the uprising. Now, had the US backed the more truly democratic uprising in Iran, is one thing. The lack of judgement shown by our government in international affairs is mind-boggling.
But, sure, he’s learning on the job. By the time Obama leaves office he should be ready to run for public office.
HaLeiViParticipantx8 = x1, x2, x3, x4 ,x5 ,x6, x7
Error: too many parameters
HaLeiViParticipantPost it here in 64. Make a Facebook account and put it up. You can also Tweet it with a hashtag.
January 5, 2014 3:41 pm at 3:41 pm in reply to: ERROR: Could not establish a database connection #997654HaLeiViParticipantSiDi, I must say that with such crazy news I wouldn’t expect the breaking story to be about the site technicalities.
Yup! Just you wait til you hear what’s really behind it all. Woops, better not say too much!
HaLeiViParticipantOh, ha ha. It literally means this or that. By the way, I’m a PhD in nuclear science. No, of course I didn’t get a degree, but if you break down the word, it literally mean someone who enjoys learning.
You can Daven for him is that he should get a chance to do Teshuva.
HaLeiViParticipantWhat about Knockout. It’s the in thing now.
Mazal Tov, BTW.
HaLeiViParticipantA day is when you call it a day.
HaLeiViParticipantThanks. I guess I’ll hold off with the iron.
Don’t worry, Golfer. No one got punished. I didn’t catch him or her (probably him) in the act. But it was enough to tell him off. My feeling is that when you don’t catch them in the act they forget about it and the punishment goes to the wrong place. ???? ??? ??? ???? ???.
HaLeiViParticipantI don’t want to set it.
HaLeiViParticipantAnyhow, you can find this right where it belongs, Medrash Rabbah on the Makkah of Barrad.
December 31, 2013 5:16 am at 5:16 am in reply to: Making fun of people who are frummer than you #996586HaLeiViParticipantOomis, you missed my earlier point. You missed out on that lesson that we try to teach our children. We don’t have to think that what we are doing is over the top extra credit in order not to judge others. When I say that I am careful, I am not thinking of you. Perhaps it sounds confusing, which proves why it is important to teach this to children.
Imagine this conundrum. I am doing what I think (or I would say, know) is the important thing to do. And yet, that has nothing to do with others.
HaLeiViParticipantI think a much better and long term idea is to expose him to Hashkafa Seforim. Derech Hashem, Ikkrim, Akeida, Abrabanel and Maharal. These can take over a person. Instead of musing, he can enjoy these very enjoyable Seforim. If he does well then he can appreciate Seforim. That much is my experience.
Even before that, there is Medrash and other non-Gemara sefarim that not necessarily would a Yeshiva boy bump into, or as in my case, nor would he be encouraged by the pro-regulars.
I do have to say that being that he is a brother it does change the picture. Siblings can have all types of conversations; this doesn’t have to avoided.
December 30, 2013 9:31 pm at 9:31 pm in reply to: When people tell you unfunny jokes (especially with enthusiasm) #1003105HaLeiViParticipantTOFL
HaLeiViParticipantWhen Chazal talk about young wine and old it means this too. Perhaps even moreso.
Young wine still has pieces floating around. Ask a knowledgeable young person something and you get a not yet thought out response. As they answer they are still re-evaluating and qualifying their own words. All you get is a blur of terminology. Ask an older person, who went through this many times, and you get a fine, short response, like old wine that is very fine.
You might not think of yourself this way, but chances are if you just climbed out of things they are still not wrapped up on the shelf in a box. Every person has a unique prospective and angle. Just take a look at the Yediya and Bechira conversation and you see how everyone takes a different part of the question, and is therefore satisfied by a different answer. They try having a conversation together and nobody understands each other.
If you had the same thought for many years and brushed it against all kinds of counter-points, and brushed with it every other aspect of your life, then you are ready to pour your cup of refined wine into the cup of the thirsty.
December 30, 2013 6:33 pm at 6:33 pm in reply to: When people tell you unfunny jokes (especially with enthusiasm) #1003100HaLeiViParticipantI think there is a certain Mitzva in the Torah that rhymes with Chasodim. It must be, um, Gemilas Chasodim. That’s right, Gemilas Chasodim. Oh. There’s also an Aveira that they calll, Ona’ah.
If you want to really feel smart, rack your brain to come up with something that will actually save the moment and make it funny or smart, or whatever he was trying to accomplish. Believe, it is a much bigger Kuntz to avoid insult than to cause it.
Good luck. Please be Mochel for my openning bark.
HaLeiViParticipantTrue. Once you Pasken a certain way, the other way is not Kesidro. But until you crystalize a Shita people take it their own way. Now that there are these Shitos and there is a Taam in both, although the main Halacha is like Rashi, the other one is put on in the form of Chashash.
However, Chashashos aren’t chosen at random. When there is a big Netiya to a certain Tzad, Poskim would say that it is Kedai to be Choshesh for it. Understanding the Inyan for the other Tzad is no less than this.
