HaLeiVi

It probably means that both were created together as one being. Then, first was ???? ?? ???? and after that was ????? ??? ?????? which, according to the Shita of ??? ???????, means that Hashem closed up the male.

Joseph, is this title of ???? ???? your source of pride? The Maharal actually stresses in other places that this is not a matter of who is better then whom. It is about a position and status.

In a normal, healthy marriage, the husband brings in a certain pride and status. This is what the Gemara is referring to when it says in Kesubos 75:

???? ?”? ?? ????? ?? ?? ?????? ????? ???? ??? ???????? ???? ?????? ?? ????? ??? ?? ?? ??? ??? ????? ???? ??????? ????? ??? ?????? ?? ??? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??? ????? ??????

In short, even if the husband is a midget, a cheap laborer, or from an uncertain background he is still a source of pride and status for his wife.

Nevertheless, these days this a charged topic, and people can’t understand nuance and detail when they are busy fighting the other end of the same cause. But since you brought it up it should be put in perspective. I’m still not sure, though, what you try to accomplish with these color-war style male cheers.

It’s called proving a point. I showed that what you think about giving back land does not prove what you think about Zionism. What the Satmar Rebbe would say about giving up some land, who knows? Rav Ovadya Yosef ZTL was, at first, in favor of the peace process. When he saw how the Arabs took it he changed his mind.

I don’t think being against giving back land has anything to do with Zioninsm/anti-Zionism. The Satmarer Rebbe was also against giving backthe land. He said that at this point it would be dangerous.

These seemingly conflicting anecdotes are only confusing for the binary-minded individual. I’ve mentioned here often that the classic approach of the Chareidi world was not this way or that. We had a problem with the group of founders, and perhaps even with the founding — at the time, and we don’t agree to all the ideological weight put on the state. But this is not about being anti-Zionist, it is more like non-Zionist.

There just might not be any Passuk that starts with Samack and ends with Aleph. I checked with the Orayta app and there was no listing for ?-?.

Aristotle was before the second Beis Hamikdash. So it was common knowledge 500 years later, don’t you think. And unlike his other theories, this one is verifiable and was used in navigation.

Get a horn app on your own phone. Then, sneak up behind them (dno’t worry, they’re too engrossed to notice) and give them a powerful BEEEEP. Why should only drivers deserve it?

I’m not sure how high exactly Alexander got, but I wonder if he mistook the blue atmosphere for the ocean.

Alexander, by the way, was a student of philosophy and should have been aware of the shape of the planet.

These two statements don’t work together.

If you managed to walk on a give line of latitude or longitude you would end up at the same place except for problems such as ocean, mountains and other obstacles.

Walking on the line of a latitude is not going around the world. If I’m on the north pole and I walk around my tepee, did I just walk around the world?

He seems pretty aware, and assumes it as undisputed too. Unless you are referring to the guys in the ???? ???? there.

Sam, you know what Tosafos quotes it for, right?

Wolf, it was a counter argument, not an argument.

Popa, if your friend, the Rebbitzen of YCT was there, who could the bigger Rebbitzen have been?

The Gemara seems to imply that it is Assur to wear a felt hat on Shabbos.

That and getting robot hits.

They were messed up through the sins of man. They have a Yetzer Hara in terms of desires but not in terms of Bechira. Their Yetzer is not checked by mind but rather through outside circumstance.

I didn’t say the day, I said your day. And I said so purposely. You wake up in the morning, Daven Shacharis, you go to sleep after Maariv. Are you arguing on that?

Must Siddurim are laid out advising to the day. First is Shacharis, then Mila, Bentching, other Brachos and Tefillas Haderech. Then it’s Mincha and Maariv, then Krias Shma al Hamita. Then is Shabbos, and after that Hallel, Musaf, Yom Tov stuff Yotzros, Kriah and Tehillim.

Why do Bentchers have Hamotzi before the Seuda? After all, I only take out the Bentcher after I wash. The Hamotzi would be for the next Seuda. Therefore, it should be the last thing in the Bentcher!

Some say that a reason for the prohibition of having an ox and a donkey work together is that they don’t work at the same pace, and it makes them unnecessarily uncomfortable.

Joseph, three reasons.

1) I heard the reason is that it is the Rema’s Yohrtzeit and he holds Ba’omer.

2) The name was coined by the Ba’omer people.

3) La’omer makes sense while you’re counting, since you are announcing where you got up to. Ba’omer makes sense to describe a specific date of the Omer when that is your goal.

ouch

You didn’t tell me not to look so I did. But you ask not to pry so I’ll try not to pry, Shy.

Anyhow, I think SL is right on about her feeling she is losing her place. Adults also feel that way often when an in-law moves in. However, rather than talking to her to try to understand, you should rather affirm her place with quality time.

Not wanting to lose your position is not a matter of Midos Tovos. As the Maharal writes, even the greatest Tzadikim did not like being put down. Think about the reaction of the ???? ??? ??? to Yehoshua’s confidential Nevua, and Rabbeinu Hakadosh — of whom it says ???? ??? ???? ????— when Rebbe Chiya told him that Rav Huna Reish Galusa is outside.

Just like no amount of Midos Tovos would cause you to enjoy getting hit, the same goes for becoming insignificant in some way.

Therefore, 1- reaffirm her importance with quality time, and 2- include her in the decision making process. This would avoid jealousy since she is not being brushed aside rather, on the contrary, getting a boost of confidence. Just like you are not jealous of a Kattan since it is through you, make it go through her.

Then only that mod sees it and might even forget it.

He’s the famous Gabbai Tzeddaka.

There was one a Poritz who accused his Moshke of being Joseph. Moshke was lost. He ran to his mod, who said he can’t help because he can’t undo what another mod did. So he went to the frog, who interceded on his behalf. Then, in middle of the night —

Sorry, got to go. Maybe I’ll finish another time if you’ll go to bed nicely.
