    Who are we to decide that the guy yelling in streets, wearing rags and smells, is Meshuga? Did we get a signed statement from a certified normalist? I man, deciding between normal and nuts is a very big issue with big repercussions. Just like that, you state your humble opinion?

    By the way, what is this business of calling anyone who commented here, little people. Additionally, I’m not a random person. Perhaps to you I am random. It is true, you shouldn’t be taking my advice on faith.

    For centuries they ran to Arab lands? It was mainly at exactly one point of history, and it was mainly to Turkey. The Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh says that we suffered more under the Arabs than the Bnei Eisav. Perhaps there are just less survivors, so we don’t know enough about them.

    Secondly, and more importantly, who cares?

    • Names should be capitalized.
    • A comma does not follow a question mark.
    • “You give”, is the beginning of a sentence. Thus it should be capitalized.
    • Missing period.

    I think the Zohar Hakadosh discusses the fact that even his bones did not go in. Also, many Mephorshim (including the ??? ????? ??’, the Chida’s Rebbi) explain that the reason for Moshe Rabbeinu being buries outside of Eretz Yisroel is to bring the Yidden back from the Galus. Also, isn’t there a Medrash about a king who tried finding the Kever, and it seemed to those on top that it was on bottom and vice versa?

    An easy way out is that his physical bones did not enter but his Neshama did go through Me’aras Hamachpeila which is described as the doorway to the Olam Haneshamos.

    You can’t protect yourself from ????? ????? ?? ?? ?????. It is actually important to realize that we are not in our own hands. There are Segulos Leshmira and there are protective measures, but don’t let this lead you to the understanding that it is you who is in control. This is the lesson we are to take from death, as the Pasuk states.

    Having said that, a great Segula for Shemira is Betachon and the motto of ?? ?? ????? ????? ??? ????, in the real sense. When Rebbi Akiva and his Rebbi, Nachum ish GamZu, said this they meant that actual good thing will come from what seems bad now. They didn’t mean that it is good for them. This is illustrated in the story with Nachum ish GamZu’s sand and Rebbi Akiva’s candle, chicken and donkey.

    You can also look at the Chida’s Avodas Hakodesh for some Tefillos.

    But don’t make the mistake of the Dor Haflaga, to think it is in your hands physically (as in making a pillar to hold up the sky) or spiritually (as in going up to fight).

    As mentioned, Shluchei Mitzva is about something happening on account of doing the Mitzva. An example is the Gemara in Kedushin, mentioned above, about falling off a ladder that he only climbed onto for the sake of a Mitzva. It is learned from Olei Reggel, where the Pasuk promises that nobody will harm your property while you are gone, where the vulnerability was because of the Mitzva. This is what ???? ???? ?? ??? ??? ?? means.

    On the other hand, in Maseches Shabbos Rav Yosef says??? ???? ?? ????? ???? ????.

    And, regarding the Tallis, it is not a magic guard, it is a Mitzva. What happened by Dovid Hamelch, Rebbi Chiya and Moshe Rabbeinu is that the Malach Hamaves cannot gain access during the learning. As mentioned above, Davenning is not learning. Additionaly, murder is not about the Malach Hamaves gaining access. Krias Shema is learning and Rebbi Akiva died while reciting it.

    Rabbah bar Nachmeini was also Niftar while learning, but that was because he surrendered, the Malach Hamaves wasn’t Sholet.

    You as not addressing his question at all. You are just washing it over with more scientific trivia.

    The question is that he noticed a color reflecting off an object of a different color. The answer is that although an object absorbs all other colors it doesn’t completely absorb it. If you overload it with a color you will see that color. Even a black surface will shine with enough light shone on it. Black velvet is an exception, which is why or is used in photography.

    One mention is enough. The Gemara in Brachos is not ‘the closest.’ It is it, albeit it was said by a non-Jew. If you would see other Pesukim used then you can have a Kasha why did this one outlast them. But the fact that the Rambam didn’t find it necessary to mention the Pasuk is not a Kasha.

    And, Chazal use Pesukim this way often. It is not even a Drasha. It is paying attention the particular phrase. If the Torah is telling you to watch yourself dearly lest you do something wrong, we do see from the phrasing that watching yourself is important.

    If you like more answers, the Maharal says that although for us it would be more comfortable not to have been born, since it is the will of HKBH we make His will our will. So the Gemara here is saying that after having done so, and we currently consider it a blessing to be born, we tell this ???? ??? ???? that for him it is truly better not to have been born.

    It wasn’t a theoretical worry. Chazal tell us that it was pretty serious. And Avraham sent them out with care, and even went to check up on him later on.

    The # is not part of the address. It refers to an area on the page for the browser to scroll to. On the main CR page, when you click on the Freshness column it takes you to http….#563748 which is the name of the last comment.

    Going to http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile would take you to the default profile page, which would be your own.

    Adding the ‘#’ doesn’t do anything. Being there is no named area on the page with that name, the browser just ignores it.

    My source is the same source of the Gemara. Look at the Pasuk. Alav simply means because of him. It is not enough of a Diyuk to misconstrue a normal Pshat.

    The Pasuk is saying that you brought tears to the Mizbei’ach because you hurt your first wife.

    in reply to: Tears of Beis HaMikdash #1041265

    The idea of the Mizbei’ach shedding tears is about divorcing without her consent. The tears are for the wife.

    Hashem should send you Shalom and you should raise a loving family.

    The Maharal actually says your Terutz, that although it is not good you should do it anyhow. Tosafos seems to take it like it is an Aveira. Language works with context. A phrase doesn’t have to always mean the exact same thing.

    In Eiruvin it is saying that due to the slim chances of coming out of this world pure, we would prefer not to take the chance. Here we are saying that you didn’t accomplish anything.

    Tosafos in Eiruvin says that for Tzaddikim we don’t say it is better not to be born. So, in simple Terutz form we can day that this Gemara is saying that learning this way does not get you out of the category of Nuach Lo Shelo Haya Nivra.

    A Rebbe of mine related that a man once came to look at a certain Bachur being Redt for his daughter. The Bachurim were lining up for lunch. The moment the Mashgiach pointed out the usually refined young man, the Bachur grabbed the hat off the guy in front of him and frisbeed it across the room.

    The Mashgiach tried explaining to the father that this Bachur never behaves like this. The man said, ‘Perhaps, but I guess it’s not Bashert.’

    It’s probably like trying to turn your foot while tapping your hand. Most people can’t do it. You are trying to pat attention to two outputs and that can’t be done. What might work is to rehearse your sentence and spit it out without paying attention to what it sounds like. Ask someone else if you sound coherent.

    Although my two approaches are not that of Avram, what he is saying is that it is not a ???. Doing for the sake of elevating yourself along with the universe is far from doing it because you will be getting paid. You will be doing it for the same reason it was given.

    So, in this approach the Mishna is not saying to do without a cause. It is saying to do without ‘payment.’

    It does look like you have two separate issues in mind but are mixing and matching them. The first is that seemingly, a person would not do anything without a self serving purpose. The second is that even if you would, what purpose is there to Avodas Hashem if not for ????? ?? ?????? Divide and conquer.

    Why it has to be done is another question entirely. My point is that there is such a thing as doing something without any personal gain whatsoever.

    And your question about why you love that person is completely beside the point. Yes, coming to love a person is for personal reasons, but once you do love that person, you will do things completely for that person’s sake, even when they will never find out about it.

    If you want to break that down psychologically or philosophically, you might want to say that when you love someone you stretched your identity to include the other person, and in this way you are doing it for gain. And when you do something that is ‘the right thing’, weather anyone noticed or not, is because of your identifying with ‘the cause.’ That indeed is the idea of the servant who serves without anticipating reward.

    Patur, if you see a boy drowning you will jump in and save him. (Right?) Will you be doing that because of fame, money or exercise? Will you have any motive in mind other than that it just simply has to be done?

    When you arrange things for someone you love, while assuming they will never become aware of what you’ve done, what is your motivation?

    It makes for a nice philosophical discussion but it’s not anymore about this Mishna or theology.

    In the Mashal of a servant, the ideal servant serves his master because he likes him and wants him to be happy. His motivation is that his master becomes happy. If you understand the concept of ???? ???? you strive for that regardless of your personal reward.

    When you love someone deeply and truly your motivation to help that person is completely for that person’s sake.

    This is an entirely different answer than my previous one — which still stands tall and proud.

    ari-free, great one.

    The Radaq describes the scene of an Ov that the medium makes noise by ruffling feathers. The spirit sort of modulates that white noise and and forms a voice through it. It is hard to hear, which is why the Pasuk uses ???? ???? as an example of a quiet sound.

    This is definitely ????? ?????. Happy Halloween!
