Nefesh HaChaim: October 2013
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Chayei Sorah: Paying a Shadchan. This week I spoke about the question of paying a shadchan. Specifically, how much do you pay a shadchan when the chassan is from one city which pays higher rates and the kallah is from a city which pays lower rates. The main point to understand is that a shadchan has a din of a hired worker (a poeil) and paying a shadchan is a shailah in Choshen Mishpat. Links to this post. Monday, October 14, 2013. Parshas Lech Lecha: Hatafas Dam Bris. The Ra...

Nefesh HaChaim: March 2011
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. The Lesson of the SHekalim in Defeating Haman. The gemara in Megillah (13b) says:. אמר ריש לקיש גלוי וידוע לפני מי שאמר והיה העולם שעתיד המן לשקול שקלים על ישראל לפיכך הקדים שקליהן לשקליו והיינו דתנן באחד באדר משמיעין על השקלים ועל הכלאים". This idea can be applied to the story of פורים. The בני ישראל were in golus as a punishment for their aveiros. By taking part in the סעודת אחשׁורושׁ we were exhibiting the signs of יאושׁ. אחשׁורושׁ was celebrating our גלות and we joined ...I spoke t...

Nefesh HaChaim: Parshas Lech Lecha: Hatafas Dam Bris
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2013/10/parshas-lech-lecha-hatafas-dam-bris.html
Monday, October 14, 2013. Parshas Lech Lecha: Hatafas Dam Bris. The Rambam (Hilchos Mila 1:7) paskens that both a ger who had a mila as a non-Jew and a child born with a mila rquires hatafas dam bris. The m'kor for this halacha seems to be a gemara in Shabbos DAf 135 which says that the koton born with a mila rquires hatafas dam bris because of a safeik orlah kevushah-we are afraid the orlah is hidden and teh child is really an oreil. There are a number of questions asked on this Rambam. Furthermore, Acc...

Nefesh HaChaim: Ki Siis: Lo Sishchat Al Chametz
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2014/02/ki-siis-lo-sishchat-al-chametz.html
Thursday, February 27, 2014. Ki Siis: Lo Sishchat Al Chametz. In honor of the one person that actually reads this blog and gives me his comments. On Parshas Ki Sisa. I spoke about the issur of "lo sishchat al chametz dam zivchi", you are not allowed to shechet the Korbon Pesach while owning chametz. There are 2 pesukim for this, one in Ki Sisa and one in Mishpatim. The Ramban in Mishpatim seems to hold like the first tzad. The Chinuch (Mitzvah 89) sounds like the second tzad. A few nafka mina:. 2) Is the...

Nefesh HaChaim: Parshas Beshalach:Techum Shabbos
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2014/01/parshas-beshalachtechum-shabbos.html
Tuesday, January 14, 2014. This week I spoke about Techum Shabbos. There are three shittos regarding whether Techum Shabbos is m’doreisa or m’d’rabanan. The Rambam in Sefer Hamitzvos learns that even the techum of 2000 amos is Min Ha Torah. The Rambam in Mishna. The Ramban both in Sefer Hamitzvos as well as in Eiruvin (Perek 1 17b)writes that only Rabbi Akiva holds Techum of 2000 amos is Min HaTorah and only. The Divrei Yechezkel (siman 7) has an interesting chakirah. How does one view the geder of T...

Nefesh HaChaim: June 2011
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. The Ran says that this has a nafka mina b'zman hazeh. Even if someone knows that a person is a mamzer, he can't reveal it. Just like Eliyahu knows who is a mazer and won't reveal it, so too we can't reveal who is a mamzer. The Rema in Even HaEzer (Siman 2) brings the Ran l'halacha. The Chazon Ish (Even HaEzer Siman 1) seems to pasken like the Chelkas Michokeik. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Nefesh HaChaim: November 2010
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 22, 2010. Parshas VaYishlach:Gid HanAsheh Muttar B'Hana'ah. Rav Elchanan says this is pshat in the Ramban who answers the kasha on the Rambam by saying that when the gemara said it's R' Shimon it was only l'ravcha d'milsa. Meaning really the gemara could have given this teretz but it said we are going with shittas R' Shimon l'ravcha d'milsa. Ayin Rabbi Akiva Eiger in Pesachim who rejects this approach.).

Nefesh HaChaim: Welcome Back
http://nefeshchaim.blogspot.com/2013/10/welcome-back.html
Monday, October 14, 2013. I have been toying with the idea of restarting my blog and I have finally decided to do it. As in the past, this blog will mostly be a write up of my weekly parsha chabura that I give over in shul every Shabbos. In the chabura I discuss a halachic or lomidshe topic that is based on that week’s parshah. Comments are always welcome but I don’t guarantee that I will always respond. I hope to put up the first post shortly. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Sunday, January 02, 2011. Parshas VaEira:Hearing What You Daven. The Sifsei chachamim makes an interesting diyuk in the parsha. By 9 of the makkos when Moshe davens to remove the makkos the Torah uses the loshon of 'vayetar". However, by the frogs the loshon used is 'vayitzak ". The Sifsei Chachamim explains that the frogs were making so much noise that Moshe couldn't hear himself daven. Therefore, hehad to scream in order to hear himself. Links to this post. Catching up on Parsha Cakes. View my complete...
