Treading the beautiful path

 

Was it a misprint? In the back of the שו"ת נודע ביהודה מהו' תנינא they printed a copy of the שטר רבנות the city of Prague presented to the נודע ביהודה. As is customarily done it was written in flowery & poetic language.  In one of the  phrases, it says אנשי שם ויפיפי פעם ( the people accepting the N.B. as their Rav) The publisher of the נודע ביהודה writes in the footnotes that the words "יפיפי פעם" is a mistake because there is no such terminology and it has no meaning. He continues, he is surprised at the original publisher of this שטר רבנות, Harav Professor Kauffman for not realizing  this mistake. The fact is, the term "יפיפי פעם" is not a mistake. It was used close to a thousand years ago when the Piyut for שביעי של פסח was written. The פייטן describes the Yidden as יפיפי פעם. The term is probably based on the Pasuk in שיר השירים  - מה יפו פעמיך  Art Scroll translates יפיפי פעם "those who on the beautiful path do tread" (בני ישראל)

 

 

 

The Shver insisted

---

*ובני ישראל יוצאים ביד רמ"א *The one & only day of the year ר' יוחנן wore Tefilin, was on חול המועד פסח. ( רא"ש ברכות פ"ג ס' ל"א (ע"פ נוסח הרושלמי שהיה להרא"ש* R. Akiva Eiger zt"l brings a ראיה (proof) from a Rashi in Sukah 46a that one is obligated to wear Tefillin on  Chol Hamoed. The תנא קמא holds if one has many Mitzvos to perform, (at the same time) he should make one Bracha "על המצות" Rashi gives an example of how one has many Mitzvos at the same time, for instance, לולב סוכה תפילין ציצית The son in law of R Akiva Eiger Zt"l, R. Shmuel Birenbaum zt"l writes when he came the first time to his Shver (R. Akiva Eiger zt"l) on Chol Hamoed Pesach. His Shver insisted, he put on Tefillin**, even though his family was from a Chasidic background and didn't wear Tefillin on Chol Hamoed. R.A.E. claimed that in Germany & all the surrounding countries, it was accepted to follow תורת משה, the רמ"א, in all his Pesakim, wherever he argues on the בית יוסף. *Chasam Sofer Oc"h 31:2 **from then on he wore Tefillin on Chol Hamoed ,   with no Bracha and made a Tenai The מהרש"ל was not too concerned with the זהר who writes that one who wears תפילין בחוה"מ  is חייב מיתה

Time To Ask

TIME to ask

"In the Hagaddah, it is written "וכאן הבן שואל" 
(Here, the child asks.)

The great Chasidic master, R. Aaron Karliner Zt"l said :

    "הבן" is referring to the בני ישראל the
Yiddisher Kinder. 

Here at the Seder table, every Yid
is supposed to ask his father in heaven
for, ושניםרפואות, ישועות פרנסה זיווגים,אריכת ימים ,
הצלחה בכל ענינים etc." (ע"כ)


TIME to receive the goods

At the Seder night, there is a Mitzvah for the father 
 לחלק קלויות ואגוזים* to distribute to the children all kinds
of goodies.

Surely the אבינו שבשמים, he too will be performing
the מצוה לחלק  He will be distributing to all his children 
 רפואות, ישועות פרנסה זיווגים ,אריכת ימים ושנים, וכל טוב
'שלום על ישראל וכו

ויתן לך אלקים מטל השמים
                            
The reason for Bentching טל on the first day of Pesach
is because it says in פרקי דר' אליעזר ל"ב that both יצחק אבינו
& רבקה said that on the first day of Pesach, the אוצרות טללים  
are open, and it is the opportune time to be blessed
