Sure you seek approval. The question is if you think it is possible to get it or if that’s what you are. When you are made to feel that in essence you are perfecct with a temporary obstacle in the way you will act faster than if you are already considered certain title.
Teasing does not encourage you to get better. It solidifies the trait you are being teased about. When a child is told that he is Kvetchy, a brat, or any other wonderful title, he knows he found his niche. That is a far cry for encouraging change, which is when he understands that little stands between him and the correct behavior, and we practically see him that way already, that it is just a matter of actually playing it out and it’s done.
Oh, I thought I invented Notepad coding.
Binah Yeseira refers to intuition. It is harder to fool a man with logic and is harder to fool a woman by character.
That’s the one I meant. I guess the other times were quiter. I recall a moderator thinking you impersonated a mod. Were you blocked then, too.
As soon as he asks the Kasha beat him to the predictable Terutz and ask him if he had anything better.
Popa, what motivated this?
Goq, I test you?
When was Popa blocked and for how long?
Who did he say he will throw down the steps?
How many I’m-leaving threads are there?
How do you say stuffed cabage in hungarian?
It culminates in Chanukka so it makes less sense to sing it on Purim or Pesach.
You can see creativity in the second word of the Torah, actually.
About the Nesiim, if you look in Medrash Rabba you can see completely different intentions for each Nasi. The only thing is, as for the point you are trying to bring out, they weren’t told to bring that Korban. They were all Mechaven to the same result. That is why the Torah sums it all up at the end, to show that they all come to one point.
Some say it was Ben Matisyahu. I saw this today Beshem the Rambam. Either way, it was a grandson which is why I worded it the way I did.
It makes sense considering that according to some Medrashim it was found under the Mizbei’ach.
Popa, so you are Yotze with other Minim besides wine?
It’s Mashma in Tosafos that they used to wash on the Hamantaschen on Purim.
Sounds like you just got over eating three at once.
Tshuos is the fact that we were spared. Milchamos is victory, that He fought our wars. We find these two by Bechoros as well. The Gur Arye explains that the Kedushas Bechorim is from being spared and the Pidyon is for the Bechorei Mitzriim.
The Ohr Hachayim Hakadosh says in Vayetzei that although Hashem pays back a person when an item was stolen and he didn’t deserve that, the pain of having been robbed remains. If the thief is caught then he is completely healed. This is what Yaakov Avinu asked for when he said Ve’asisa Imadi Chesed Va’emes. Emes is that he will have whatever is coming to him; Chesed is that he won’t have the pain of having been robbed.
The same applies here. By Chanukka and Purim the it was not a change of heart that stopped the Gezeira. We were Zoche to a real victory.
Insurance is cheaper in Tennessee?
So Al Hamilchamos is the Milchemes Hayetzer. Ok. And Al Niflaos is the person and how amazing he is, as we say in Asher Yatzar, Umafli Laasos. Al Hapurkan is my personal salvation. Al Hagevuros is my inner strength, and Nechamos is the real me. I want to say this over at Popa’s Shabbos table.
It probably means what Popa said, when you think you got to know him, you did. However, in my experience, I’ve seen that people shoot terms that have some meaning to themselves but are otherwise meaningless.
If you start to mention Tzaros in a time of praise you are probably a Kafoy Tova. When you Bentch Gomel, do you say, Hagomel Lachayavom Tovos Ulatzadikim Ra’os? Sure, Keshem Shemivarchin, at the right time for that.
Tshuos and Milchamos mean the same thing to you? What about Nissim and Niflaos? Hashem delivered us from our enemies and He also fought our wars. If you want to set it up with the details, Maase Yehudis was a Yeshua, getting rid of the yevanim was a Milchama, and the Ness of the Menora was a Nechama. All of these were Nissim, some of them Niflaos. When we thank Hashem we are Mefaret and expound on His praise. We don’t sum it up with, “Hey, thanks BTW.”
Don’t confuse him for his grandson.
You are Mechaven to the Gemara’s Hava Amina.
It sounds like it is a general Hoda’a for the wars that HKBH fought for us, and is used as an introduction to the specific Ness of the day. However, we end off with, She’asisa La’avoseinu Bayamim Haheim Bizman Hazeh. So, perhaps on Purim it is referring to the uprising of the Jews against their enemies.
In Emunas Yisroel?
Children are as responsible as you allow them to be. Ten used to be responsible, now 24 is too young.
The concept of sizing up people is silly. People often sum up others in one sentence, or word. However, if you ask them to describe themselves, they are stuck. I’m not one sentence. I have opinions and approaches, attitudes regarding multiple situations. I figure things out; It’s not all pre-configured. Well, what about the other guy?
But, I do it anyhow — to some degree.
You may also turn the other cheek, but it makes you a fool, not a Tzaddik. Nor is everyone else missing the point.
So, did you remember to do the switch, or did you forget like a …?
There was once a young sem student who wanted to say a few jokes about people who think they know Hebrew…
Popa, I’m huffing and puffing. Where are you now?
Especially not in the dark.
The Rama says that these days, that the Pirsumei Nisa is for the household, even the Rosh would agree to light where you eat.
You definitely do not sound Autistic. You express feeling very clearly.
Sam, punishment is not S’char.
It depends on what exactly the Ness was. If the Ness was that it burned slowly and they had no option of relighting it with other oil, then they let it burn when they saw that there was a Ness keeping it going.
Is it Muttar to speak Lashon Hara on Yom Kippur?
This question is the Torah version of, Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road. Everyone gives you the answer that comes from their way of thinking. Chassidus, Mussar, beauty of nature, thankfulness, Girsaos, history, revisionist history, Kfira, disregard of the Kasha, Tzvei Dinim, Me’ikara Lo Kasha, philosophy, and I guess I left out some.
Popa, who’s gonna die if they all move out?
Use a Shfoferes.
The Beis Yosef includes Muslims in the exception. The Tur and Mechaber use the term Yada Betiv AZ. That would answer my question about Itay. Since he just decided to drop it all he is still a Yodea Betivan.
I don’t know the percentage of athiests in this field, but I assume that an athiest is Lo Kol Shechein not a Yodea Betivan.
Selling it does not help, unless it is being sold for scrap metal. In this case it is being sold as something special. The seller knows it is being cared for. However, being that we probably aren’t talking about the idol itself, only its utensils, even disregarding it orally helps, without defacinng it.
There is a concept of Bitul by abandonment. Naftush is applying this Bitul when he says that AZ was dropped. The simple Halacha is about a specific idol, though. Also, it depends how idol worship was dropped. If it was one day to the next then that can be considered abandoned. But if it was a gradual process then it is not necessarily so. In order to apply this Bitul you’d have to say that there was sort of a class action dropping of idols. And then you will have to make the stretch to buried items Delo Chazitei Udelo Chamitei.
Fiddlesticks! What’s all this tomfoolery balderdash?
Come to thiink of it, a Ra’aya to you is Itay Hagiti. He surely didn’t believe in Avoda Zara right before he was about to be Megayer, and yet he was Mevatel one for David. It’s odd, though, that he wouldn’t have the status of a Ger Toshav at that point.
In this week’s Tanchuma there is a Rebbe Yehuda bar Shalom.
Chuni Hamag’il tried that but it didn’t work well.
I’ve gotten that call more than once. First, “We’re calling from Microsoft. There’s something wrong with your computer.” I ask, which computer? “Windows.” “Which version?” “The computer with Windows.” Then I start to laugh and the line goes dead.
Mr. Sfardi, since you aren’t motivated by boredom, what did motivate you to take the effort to post something like that?
The Rambam in Perek 8, Halacha 16 writes:
????? ???? ???? ?????, ???? ????? ???. ??? ?? ????? ????, ??? ?????? ?????
This is what it says in the Frankel Rambam and on MTR (of Mechon Mamrei). This is a whole sentence, not a word, that can be transformed.
I don’t see why you consider this tremendous difference, splitting hairs. In order for him to be Mevatel an Avoda Zara he has to be in the Parsha. It is not his Zchus Avos that gives him this privilege. (By the way, Achronim didn’t invent Lomdus. They only define much more, like every generation who uses many words to explain the natural talk of their predecessors.)
42, why should it apply? We learn from a Pasuk that the strength of the Tuma of Cherev is like the Meis, but what does that have to do with the Issur of Tuma, where the Issur is not about being Tammei only about being Mitamme?
Sam, just looked up the Rambam but it’s the other way around. Selling only helps if he is selling it to a Yid who he knows will melt it down. Moreover, it can only become Batul by an Oved Avoda Zara. The fact that the general population stopped practicing Avoda Zara doesn’t help the individual idols or their utensiles. The available idols at the time they gave it up would become Batul if some physical defacing took place.
Here’s a chance for a good Indian Bittul AZ startup. Just logon and for a small monthly fee we’ll be Mevatel all your artifacts. Disclaimer: it must be done before you buy it.
There’s also the Gemara about Naturei Karta and Machrivei Karta. Also, Kol Kol Yakov. That the Torah protects there is no doubt. The question is the army. Another (hypothetical) question is, what if the army would be Torah-safe and a bastion of Yiras Shamayim, would they not have joined?
The last post issue is still the same. It happens in almost all browsers. You can see the earlier posts before it completes. It is also in the source code. A browser scrolls down to the anchor when there is a ‘#’ in the URL. I never around to analyzing this but perhaps the middle column is a frame and therefore it alone gets scrolled without a srollbar to undo it.
Thanks Sam. I wasn’t sure about the Meisei Akum. Are you sure that the Bitul is automatic?
