NOT THE DEAD לא המתים

Why, during ברכת ק"ש in the morning,
the ציבור pauses in mid-sentence
and waits for the ש"ץ  to say
(ומקדישים(ן) וממליכים(ן
and then they all start together את שם?


              לא המתים

The  טור או"ח ס"א enumerates all  places where one should
pause when saying two words next to each other
where the first word ends with a Mem מ and the second
word starts with an Alef א.
One of the places he mentions is וממליכים את שם

The reason to pause is so that it doesn't sound as מת
(וממליך מת - he crowns the dead) 

The Chasam Sofer in the Hagohos (O.Ch 59) writes,
"At וממליכים את שם it is especially important to pause
so it shouldn't sound like וממליך מת because there
are cults who worship the dead.
This is also the reason why we stop in mid-sentence
and wait for the Chazzan to start את שם"

The בני עדות המזרח (Sephardim) do not pause because
they say וממליכין with Noon נ and not with a Mem מ

Nusach  (ספרד (אריז"ל also say וממליכין with a Noon נ yet
they do pause because they originally said וממליכים 
with a Mem מ so the original Minhag  of pausing stayed on

2 solutions to the riddle

ראובן is obligated to honor his younger brother שמעון because of the Halacha in שלחן ערוך (YD. 240:22) "A person is obligated to honor his older brother According to the Ramban in Parshas וישלח 32:5 it seems, that because עשיו sold his בכורה to יעקב, therefore, עשיו the older brother would be required to honor his younger brother. The Ramban writes that יעקב insisted that עשיו be addressed as אדוני עשיו to show to עשיו as if the sale of the בכורה means nothing to him and he still treats him as the בכור by honoring him. יעקב addressing עשיו as אדוני is proof that יעקב does not consider the sale  legitimate otherwise he wouldn't call him אדוני עשיו. In truth, יעקב did consider it as a 100% legitimate sale. He wasn't Halachically required to honor עשיו but vice versa.     In a previous email I gave a different answer to the riddle The Hilchos Ketanos (2 :174) writes,Twin boys born in a leap year 1) in Adar 1 and the other in Adar2, being the younger brother becomes a Gadol (Bar Mitzvah) before his older brother*, the older brother is מחוייב to honor his younger brother".

The Rema Mi Fano* writes (Asarah Ma'amoros 4:17):

A Segulah to find your  right Zivug is to say with Kavonoh,  at the end of the

Shemonei Esrei ( right before עושה שלום) Perek 121 in Tehilim. (   שיר למעלות אשא עיני)

How Much Did The Meoras Hamachpeila Cost ?

Based on silver @$17.00 per oz.

Avraham Avinu paid for the Mearas Hamachpeila

$263,842.00  or  $10,193,897.00

The Gemoro in Bechoros 50a says that the

Shekelim Avraham gave to Efron were Kantarin.

 (400 Kantarin)

The Sefer Midos Veshiurei Torah claims,

1 Kantor = 42.5 Kg.

1 Kantor = 42,5 kg. =. X 400 = 17,000 kg.

1kg. = 35.273 oz.

17,000 x 35.273 oz. = 599,641 oz.

599,641 x $17.00* =  $ 10,193,897.00

According to the Torah Temima a Kantor (Cent)

is   (multiply by a 100) x100

assuming a Shekel = 11grm. X100 = 1100 grm (1.1 kg.)

1.1 x400 = 440

440x 35.273 = 15,520.12 x  $17.00*

=$263,842 .00

*1oz. silver = $17.00

ממשה עד משה לא קם עוד כמשה

ממשה עד משה לא קם עוד כמשה   Since Moshe Rabbeinu, there has never been a greater Rebbie in Hilchos צדקה וחסד as  R.Moishe Reichmann זצלה"ה.   He was the one who taught us, how to support Mosdos Hatorah and the needy. He was the one who taught us, to give away hundreds of millions to צדקה. He was the one who taught us, donating צדקה may also be done without publicity & recognition.  He was the one who taught us, giving to the נצרכים with humility & בדרך כבוד. His צדקה benefited directly or indirectly almost every single Yid in the entire world. הוא האיש שהיה משכמו ומעלה גבוה ועניו מכל העם                     יום השנה כ"א משהרייכמאן חשון - יהי זכרו ברוך The רמ"א או"ח תרצ"ה:ב writes, "Men should be sending משלוח מנות to men and women should be sending to women, not vice versa. Men sending משלוח מנות to women might at times create a problem of ספק קידושין if it was sent to a single woman [אלמנה]." The ערוך השלחן adds an additional reason for not sending משלוח מנות to the opposite gender because by sending gifts to each other brings to improper קירוב דעת (close relations) Rav Y.S. Elyashiv & R.S.Z. Auerbach zt"l  both hold that a man or a woman may send משלוח מנות to a husband & wife or a family with both genders. A מעשה רב from R. Moishe Feinstein zt"l. R. Moishe presented his Igros Moishe to Mr Moishe Reichmann zt"l and to his wife Mrs Leah Reichmann. (He inscribed both names in the Sefer)

Parshas Hashavua חיי שרה
 
Tosfos ( יבמות ס"א ע"ב ד"ה וכן הוא) quotes
Harav Shmuel Chasid Mi Shapira* (Speyer) who
calculated according to the Sifri, that Rivka was
14 years old when she married Yitzchok.

Tosfos concludes that there are מדרשות חלוקים
because according to the סדר עולם she was
only 3 years old.


R. Shmuel Hachasid was one of the first
Chasidei Ashkenaz (Kabbalist) He was the
father of R Yehuda Hachasid and supposedly
wrote the first few Perakim of Sefer Chasidim.
He also was the author of the שיר היחוד     

The מגן אברהם (O.Ch. 222) quotes the ספר חסידים, ” Someone who was forced (due to financial difficulties) to marry a rich girl and she was not to his liking, should make two ברכות. 1) הטוב והמטיב - for the money " for the wife - דיין האמת (2   :CORRECTION In the previous email I wrote  If there is no Niftar in the area, one may recite the Bracha up to 30 days of Petirah (R M. Feinstein Zt"l) or up to 12 months (other Poskim) It should be corrected to If there is no Niftar in the area, one may recite the Bracha up to 30 days after hearing of death (R M. Feinstein Zt"l) or up to 24 hours (other Poskim גשה"ח)

Why we make the Bracha?

Why should you make this Bracha for a woman who wasn't Jewish, wasn't a Tzadekes and died thousands of years ago. The שער הציון answers that we are upset that the תפילות of אברהם אבינו weren't accepted Perhaps we can answer with a diffrent approach. When there is ח"ו a death in a family, the ברכה of דיין האמת is recited to justify the מדת הדין of HKBH. The ברכה should preferably be said in front of the Niftar (יציאת נשמה or לויה/קריעה) If there is no Niftar in the area, one may recite the Bracha up to 30 days of Petirah (R M. Feinstein Zt"l) or up to 12 months (other Poskim) The distruction  of Sdom and death of Lot's wife was מדת הדין of HKBH. A מדת הדין on a whole city even on Goyim would require a Bracha. Since this happened more than 12 months ago (3800 years)  the Bracha would not have been said. However, the pillar of salt that can be seen today might be considered as if the actual body of Lot's wife is in front of the person looking at it. Perhaps this is the reason why only in front of this pillar can one make a Bracha for the  מדת הדין of 3800 years ago being it is as if the Niftar is in front of the person making the Bracha. All other Niftarim are buried and gone and no Bracha can be said after so many years.  אמבצי

ברוך – דיין האמת

"On bad news, one makes the Bracha  ברוך – דיין האמת  ." (Shulchan Aruch O.Ch. 222:2) "If someone sees the wife of Lot (Pillar of salt) he should make two Brachos, 1)  ברוך- דיין האמת   2) ברוך - זוכר הצדיקים" (For saving Lot) (Shulchan Aruch O. Ch. 218:8)    Bad news? Why should you make this Bracha for a woman who wasn't Jewish, wasn't a Tzadekes and died thousands of years ago. Why don't we say this Bracha in מערת המכפלה or קבר רחל for the death of our mothers etc.?
