    They say a story that R’ Chaim Solovetchik zt”l was once lighting the Chanuka candles and he saw a broom next to the table. Knowing how the brisker talmidim would emulate everything he did, he motioned to his son, the Brisker Rav zt”l, to take away the broom.

    To this day, Briskers place a broom next to the table when they light the Menorah and then after the ???? the oldest son moves it away.

    In order to answer the question of how ???? works by ???????, we need to answer something else:

    Why does one need the ????? of ????? In my previous post, I wrote that it is to counter the complete ???? that one makes, which therefore needs a ????? to break it.

    However, why does one need to make a full ????, and then have to come on to a ???? – just make the ???? only “if…” at the beginning?

    The achronim explain (there are two ways to explain this; this is only one – the other way won’t help us) that to create a ????, one needs ????? ???. One needs to be final about the decision (as a ??? of the ???? one needs). If he is ????? whether the ???? will be ?????? or not, he cannot have ????? ???.

    It could be this only applies to something that needs ????? ???. A ???? needs ????, but not ????? ???. So it could be that you don’t need ????? ?????, but you can just do the ???? and only give your ???? “If…”

    musser zoger – MASKIM!

    HaLeivi – By ??????? one can say the same thing, that the fact that you are ???? the ??? is TOTALLY up to you, yet if you muck up your ???? then ???? ???? ????? ???.

    What we have to clarify is: Based on your point, why do you NEED the ????? of ????? If the ???? would not make this ???? of ??? ?? ???? ?????, why can I not get up and say “I only have ???? if…”?

    ??? in ?????? ?? says that if a ???? is not the same as ???? ???? ?? ???? ?????, one would have a problem of ?? ??? ????? ????? ????. I think pshat is based on the ??? ??”? ??? ?? where he says that ???? ????? ?????? – one makes a ???? whether there will be a ???? ???? or ?????, and then creates a new thing called a ???? which the ???? was ???? can break your ????. However, without this, the ???? will not work, and therefore the ???? requires that the ???? should be ????? to ??? ?? ???? ?????.

    I saw a very cute vertel about ? ????? ?? ?????:

    ???”? wanted to darshen the ???? ????? ?? ??? ???? – the ?? to be ???? the nights. But when he grew his beard, he saw that another ???? of his wasn’t true – ?? ?’ ????? ????? ?????? ?????; the fact that he needed a beard showed that the ????? would not have respected him otherwise. Therefore we see that you cannot dashen the ??. So he had to wait until ?? ???? came along and dashened it from “??” rather than the “??”.

    Thanks guys for all your support!!

    mylogic – Dunno where the logic went to, but I can tell you that none of the yekkes i know say Boruch Habo, and in the Yekkishe hagodos it doesn’t say it. (There are two types of Yekkes, frankfurt and berlin, so there could be different minhagim.)

    But I checked with some non related Yekkes (so i am sure it is not a family thing) and they don’t say it.

    I looked into it when I was in high school, and I didn’t find a mekor earlier than the Belzer rebbe, if i remember correctly. I think that the ??? says that one should open the door for ???? ???? to symbolize the ??? ???????, and ????? ?? i.e. the ?????, Eliyahu Hanovi should come. I don’t think he means to the ???, he means to be ???? on the ?????, bby”a.

    I guess whoever says ???? ??? when they open the door is expected a visitor of some sort. Yekkes don’t say it.

    And even if he does come, I do not think he drinks. But this is my opinion. No mekor.

    The ????? says that women are also ?????? in ???? ????? ????? ?????. The ???? ????? asks on him – all ????? ??? ????? ???? ???? ??????, so why should women be ?????? here?

    ???? the answer is based on ??? ??????? ?”? where the ???? brings a ???? to say that women are ???? from ????. Tosfos asks on that that it is a ???? ??? ????? ????? And ??? answers that ???? ???? ???? ???? ?????? – since there is no time when the ???? finishes, it isn’t called a “??? ????”.

    ?? ????? ???? ?????? ????? ??? ?? ????? – there is no ending time for the ???? of ?????. We see the ????? continued until it came the ??? ????? ??? – and ???? they would have carried on, but the ???? ????? of ????? ??? takes precedence. (And once you are ?????, the ???? could be finished). So ????? ????? ????? is not a ??? ????.

    ????? ?? ???? ????? ???? ??????? – On the word ?????, Rashi explains “?????”. There is a famous question asked – why is this act of ????s so clever?

    The night of the ????? was ???. Therefore, the two goates were in place of the ???? ??? and ?????. Yackov fed Yitzchok the ???? ???, and therefore Yitzchok couldn’t eat from Eisav, because ??? ??????? ??? ???? ???????.

    ????? is the same ?????? as ???????. So this is the ???? for taking the ??????? ????? on seder night.

    He had a long shitckel about the ????? ???? here, but I did not understand what he said.

    And even if there would have been a problem of ???? ??? by ?? ???, he said a poshute sevara that here is different – because he isn’t taking payment for any ??, and to him it makes no difference which one, so there is no reason to lie. The whole ??? is when one gets payed to say one side (even if it is the correct one) then we say there is a ??? ???? but if he is getting his money whatever he says, there is no reason for him not to tell the truth.

    Some interesting ????????? – R’ Shimshon Astrapolier zt”l brings down an unbelievable ?????:

    The ??? ????? were in ????? for 210 years. This was because a ???? swore at the ????? ???? not to tell ????, and the ????? was with the name of ????, which is 21. 21 X 10 = 210.

    ???? when he died (according to the ????? that he found out about ????? ????) brought in his sons, and ???? ????? ?? ??? ??????? ???? ?????.

    ???? thought that there were only 9 people, forgetting about ?’. Therefore, he thought the ???? would be 189 years (9 X 21 = 189), and therefore wanted to reveal that they would go free in year 190 (?? = 190), but ??????? ???? ????? – he forgot about ? who was Number 10. (And he said ??? ?? ???? ????? so they answered ??? ????? ? ?????? ? ??? – you missed out 1 Hashem from your calculations)

    ??? made a different mistake. He knew that ‘? was included, but he thought the ????? was with ????, which is 26X10 = 260. So therefore ???? ?? ?? ?????, when Hashem saw that Moshe was looking at ?? = 260, He said ??? ???? ??? ????…

    1) Is there a chiyuv here to believe the blackmailer’s claim that one box contains non-leshmo matza?

    2) How about if the blackmailer claimed one box contained matza that was vadai chometz?

    3) What if the blackmailer’s claim is that one box contained traif (or otherwise ossur all year around) matza?

    I don’t really see a ????? between the 3 cases. Although in practical terms it might be ???? to make is ??? ???? more than to put in traif food, I don’t know.

    The fact that you are willing to consider baking shelo lishmah b’shogeg not a ma’aseh rish’us shows that what you do consider the ma’aseh rish’us is baking shelo lishmah b’mezid (presumably with the intent to sell under false pretenses).

    I think ICOT meant (or could have said) that the worker was paid to bake matzos which are kosher. By deliberatly making matzos that are posul for whatever reason, he may be ???? on ????? of a) time, and b) waste of ingredients by not making the matzos ????.

    Then there could be a tayna of ??? ??? ???? ???? ???.

    3. In my opinion, the mere process of baking shmurah matzah automtically confers lishmah on it. Hundreds or thousands of years ago, the baking process was an everyday fact of life and the matzos needed to be singled out for Pesach. Nowadays, it is obvious what these matzos are for, and so they are lishmah automatically.You can disagree, but my opinion is perfectly logical.

    It is definitely ???? to deliberately make it ??? ????.

    None are a birur, all are a din

    Isn’t one of the fundemental differences between ??? and ???? that ??? is a ????? and ???? is a ??? (many ??????? speak about it; I know at least the ???? ???? uses this to explain why ???? ????? ???? ????)?

    yitayningwut – I didn’t really undestand what you wrote. If there is a ??? of ???? ??? ??? by ???????, then why do you need 1/60, 1/100 and all the different ????? of ?????, as long as there is a majority you can say “I am taking from the ???”?

    Even if it is true, what the worker said means nothing

    Furthermore, the lishmah is inherent in the baking process, a la machine matzah,and cannot be nullified by one nutcase chochmolog extorsionist

    If the worker operated the machine without ????, then it won’t work.

    I’m not sure why you thing Matzos are a davar sheb’minyan. They are sold by weight, so pashtus I don’t see why they won’t be batel b’rov

    When you go into the shop, do you ask for a kilo of matzos or a box of matzos?

    Rov tells me that right now I am eating the one that was made lishmah

    That isn’t bitul b’rov, that is a different type of Rov where you are ???? ??? ????, where the ??? is ???? the ???. You probably have a problem of ???? on this.

    The ones who knead, roll, and bake the matzoh are not the ones who box it, so how would he know?

    It could have been a machine baked Matzos and he did the machine without lishmo. Machine matzos are numbered.

    Tell him he is getting a raise and then when he tells you which box then fire him.

    He isn’t ???? because he is saying his ???? for payment (his raise). It makes no difference whether you pay him in the end or not.

    L’chorah he is ???? because he is an ?? ??? who is ???? ????????. Even according to the ??????? who learn that you are only ???? to be ????? not to be ????, here it was ???? to make it ??? ????. (I think there is a similar case in ????? about a ??? ????)

    What do you do from now? The ??? will not be ??? ????, because they are pacakaged and boxed, and therefore a ??? ??????, which does not become ????.

    Even if it would be a ??? ??????, the ???? ??? ??? says that ????? ???? can’t make new ?????, just can be ???? old ones. It won’t help to make this ????.

    I don’t know if ????? ???? works even if there is somebody standing there who knows exactly which box is which, he just won’t tell us.

    Paying him won’t help, because then you are paying him for ???? and ????? ??? ????? ???? ?????. (Possibly ??????, according to the ????).

    It depends what style you are looking for. The Seder Aruch has 3 Chalokim on Pesach, and one of them is a Hagodo Shel Pesach where he brings all minhogim and the reasons for everything with a mix of halocho, agodo and drush. Very nice.

    R’ Shimshon Pincus’s hagodo is a bit heavier, but it extremely good if you are looking for a more hashkafic-mussar outlook on your Pesach.

    Peshat – the Malbim has some very nice shtickelech. For that you can look in Toras Chaim where he brings all the Rishonim together – extremely interesting but generally not the sort of things you are looking to say over at the table.

    just my hapence – They had already done so only because they did go back in time. If they would go back in time, they would have had to have saved Harry’s parents.

    They only saved Buckbeack because they in the future went back in time, which is obviously the Time Paradox. The only reason why they didn’t save Harry’s parents, Dumbledore and everyone else in the past was because they didn’t decide to. If they would have decided to then automatically they would have in tha past.
