Podcasts about Meiri

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 30 minutesSynopsis: Last night (5/1/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we resumed our learning of Chapter 4, after nearly a month's hiatus. (Yes, I skipped 4:12, in case you were wondering.) This mishnah is quite short, and . We spent the bulk of the time comparing Rabbeinu Yonah's more intuitive reading with Rashi's highly specific reading. I attempted to convey a theory about Rashi which I realize might not be persuasive. Curious to hear what you think! We also spent a little time on the Meiri and Rashbatz. I'm just happy we emerged with some nice practical applications!-----מקורות:אבות ד:יגרמב"ם - ספר המצוות: עשה י"ארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה א:יארמב"ם - משנה תורה: הקדמה א,מב-מגרמב"ם - פירוש המשניות: הקדמהרש"ירבינו יונהמאירירשב"ץרש"י - דברים ו:ז-----The total cost of producing my five podcasts in 2024 came to $1,455—an expense I would have otherwise had to cover myself.

After an attempt at a new original interpretation, we turned to the meforshim: first, Metzudas David, then Rabbeinu Yonah, and then the Meiri's derech nistar (which we didn't have time to analyze). Although we got a nice new idea from Rabbeinu Yonah, I think what we came up with yesterday was the ikkar.

At CannMed 25, Dedi will present "Cannabis as a Therapy Across Diverse Cancer Types: Milestones and Insights from a Decade of Research", which will discuss his lab's work investigating whether Cannabis can serve as a primary pharmaceutical treatment for cancer. We discuss: The wide range of clinical applications for cannabis medicine, including cancer, epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimer's, and women's health issues like endometriosis. How cannabis' entourage effect challenges the traditional one-drug-one-target model. How many powerful cannabinoids are overlooked by standard lab testing methods—even though they exist in significant quantities and show therapeutic potential. Israel's Medical Cannabis Model, which treats cannabis like a pharmaceutical, with prescriptions, clinical oversight, and growing physician acceptance.

The Gemara tells us, one of the areas we constantly need chizuk in is tefila . No matter how good a person's tefilot are, over time they tend to become more habitual and therefore could definitely use chizuk . The Meiri writes that a person should always feel confident in the power of a good tefila to break a decree and if someone is going through a tough time, or has a family member that is ill, he should go to a chacham and ask him for advice on how to have a good tefila . What is a good tefila ? Obviously one with emotion and tears and obviously one with kavana . But there is another very important factor that could make the tefila truly great. When Rachel Imenu saw that she was barren for many years, she told Yaakov to do something to ensure that she will have a child. The Ramban explains, Rachel was asking Yaakov to pray, thinking that the tefilot of a tzaddik like Yaakov would for sure be answered, especially if he puts all of his efforts into it. But Yaakov replied, there is no guarantee that his tefilot would ensure that she'll have a child. Then, says the Ramban, when the tzadeket Rachel saw that she couldn't even rely on the tefilot of Yaakov who was the Gadol HaDor , that's when she prayed with all of her heart and soul, realizing she had to go straight to Hashem because He was the only One who could help her. Then, וישמע אליה אלוקים – that is when Hashem answered her tefila and that is when she finally had a child. The best prayer is one in which the person realizes Who he is standing in front of and what His capabilities are. This is one of the reasons why we start the Amida with praise, so we realize who Hashem is, and only then do we make our requests. We all know that only Hashem could help us, but from time to time, we need to be reminded of it so that it is at the forefront of our minds. I read a story about a couple from Israel who did not have children for many years. They went to a lot of doctors and none were able to help. One day, the man was telling his friend he didn't know what else he could possibly do to be helped. His friend said to him, he heard there's a top doctor in America who has helped many couples with cases that seemed hopeless. People fly from all over the world to see him. He suggested trying to get an appointment with that doctor. They took his advice and traveled to America and consulted with that doctor, who raised his hands helplessly saying he didn't know what to do to help them. There was one more highly recommended doctor there, but his fees were exorbitant. The couple decided they had to try and they waited there for weeks to finally see him. That doctor analyzed their case for a very long time. He did his own testing and finally concluded by saying, "I don't see any problems at all with you. I can't explain why you are not having children, but I do see that you are religious Jews. Pray to your G-d. Only He could help you." When they heard those words from the top doctor in the field, they took on new meaning to them. From then on, they spent every tefila crying buckets of tears, understanding who they were actually talking to and, within a year, they were blessed with a baby boy. There is nothing that can take the place of a good tefila .

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 31 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (9/26/24), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we took up the next mishnah in the fourth chapter, where we left off in June. This one certainly struck us as odd, speaking of Torah almost like a voodoo doll. We raised a ton of questions and successfully learned two approaches from three meforshim (Rashi, Rambam, and Meiri), which answered all our questions. We also attempted to learn Rabbeinu Yonah but couldn't quite resolve it. We didn't get to the Maharal, but if you're learning this on your own, be sure to check him out! This Mishnah ended up being far more practical than it initially seemed, and it was really satisfying to learn!Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments! -----מקורות:אבות ד:ורש"ירמב"םרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה ד:ארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפילין ומזוזה וספר תורה י:יאמאירירבינו יונה-----The Torah content for the first month of the new school year has been sponsored by the Brevique BrewLid.

Rætt er við Baldvin Má Hermannsson forstjóra Air Atlanta um starfsemi fyrirtækisins og hvernig það hefur vaxið og dafnað á allra síðustu árum. Flugfélagið var eitt fárra sem var á fullu í covid faraldrinum og á undraskömmum tíma tókst að auka vægi fraktflugs mjög hratt þegar botninn datt úr farþegafluginu. Atlanta er í dag með 11 Boeing 747 breiðþotur í fraktflutningum um allan heim og að auki 6 Boeing 777 vélar í farþegaflutningum. Baldvin Már ræðir hér hvernig félagið hefur oft mætt erfiðri samkeppni í gegnum tíðina og hvernig íslensk þekking, reynsla og gæði í flugrekstri hefur fleytt félaginu á þann stað sem það er á í dag.

If you're looking for an eye-opening perspective on tefilah filled with potential, be sure to listen all the way to the end of the shiur, when we learn the Meiri's interpretation. We picked up lots of other nice insights along away, from the participants in shiur and from the meforshim.-----מקורות:אבות ב:יגרמב"םרבינו יונהמאירירמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות קריאת שמע א:יארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפילה וברכת כהנים ג:א-----The Torah content for the first month of the new school year has been sponsored by the Brevique BrewLid.

Þá deildu ættingjar á Ísafirði um það hvort það væri komið lúsmý vestur. Við heyrum innslag frá síðasta sumri. Við spilum svo seinni hlutann af samtali Þórðar Inga Jónssonar við bandaríska tónlistarfólkið C_Robo og DJ_Dave sem komu hingað til Reykjavíkur fyrr í mánuðinum á vegum Intelligent Instruments rannsóknarstofunnar til að koma fram á tónleikum og halda námskeið. Þau stunda það sem kallast lifandi kóðun eða framritun, búa til raftónlist með tölvukóða og spila hana af fingrum fram fyrir áheyrendur í rauntíma.

At the very end, we speculated on what type of derech nistar idea the Meiri might give, but we'll have to wait until next week (בג"ה) because the Meiri learns this week's pasuk as connected to next week's.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 30 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (5/9/24), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we began learning the next mishnah which focuses on chilul ha'shem ba'seiser (the private desecration of Hashem's name) and its consequences. On the surface, this sounds paradoxical: How can a person desecrate Hashem's name if there is no one to witness them? After reviewing the halachos of chilul ha'shem, we delve into the nuanced approach developed by the Rambam and the Meiri. No spoilers here, but let's just say that we partake of the defect in this mishnah more than we'd like to believe.-----מקורות:אבות ד:דתוספות יום טוברמב"ם - ספר המצוות: לא תעשה ס"גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ה:י-יאRav Hirsch, Horeb #614רמב"ם - אבות ד:דמאירי - אבות ג:טו, ד:דמאירי - קידושין דף לא עמוד אמאירי - קידושין דף מ עמוד ארש"י-----I'd like to thank Aaron K. for sponsoring this week's Torah content.

Still, fundamental ideas, as predicted!-----מקורות:משלי יד:כו-כזמצודת דודרבינו יונהמאירימלבי"ם-----Once upon a time, there was a podcast called The Stoic Jew. Its creator made episodes every weekday for the entirety of its first year. The frequency switched to weekly, then monthly, until eventually, the flow trickled to a stop. I know I'm not the only one who has missed this podcast and would like it to continue. I have a modest goal for getting it going again: one episode each week for the month of April. For starters. If you, too, were a fan of TSJ and are willing to be a sponsor, I have a feeling that a sponsorship might provide just the right measure of accountability to help me get the podcast back on its feet.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Length: 1 hour 8 minutesSynopsis: This evening (2/28/24), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we aimed to wrap up our analysis. After a thorough review of what we covered last time, we read the Meiri's commentary on the final six pesukim. This drew us into the esoteric vortex-like topic of God's Omniscience. We spent as much time on that as we needed (and perhaps a little more), then finished the Meiri and attempted to state the main idea, and I believe we succeeded! Sure, there's a lot more to be developed, but I'm happy with what we came up with, and I definitely want to revisit this perek in the future.-----מקורות:תהלים פרק קלטמאירירלב"ג - שמות לב:לברמב"ן - שמות יג:טזSeymour Feldman - "Gersonides: Judaism within the Limits of Reason"-----This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Jonah Mishaan with appreciation for Rabbi Schneeweiss, who gathers wisdom from various disciplines.

After reviewing our translation, our questions, and our approaches from last week, we began learning the Meiri's beautiful pasuk-by-pasuk commentary.

What followed was one of the smoothest Mishlei analyses in memory: three of our own interpretations followed by three interpretations of the Meiri, all of which are critical for strengthening our decision-making and our relationship with the observance of halacha. The Meiri's second explanation, in particular, stands out to my mind for its revolutionary advice on how to solve a certain species of religious crisis to which certain types of people are prone.

TBH, I didn't have a clear understanding of the main idea when I started giving shiur. Thank God, with the help of the Meiri, we managed to successfully analyze each and every clause, and to come away with a grasp of an allegory which has the potential to change the way we relate to transgression and teshuvah.

On the night of Rosh Hashanah, a person is supposed to come home from shul and sit at his table and begin the meal by eating certain foods as a good omen for the new year. It is important to follow this procedure and say the accompanying tefilot when eating each food, but it is even more important for a person to act and think the right way on this day. Even one thought of a person feeling that he wants to become better and improve in his observance of Torah and mitzvot is more powerful than all the foods and Yehi ratzons combined. The Meiri writes that one of the purposes of eating those foods and saying the Yehi ratzons is to arouse a person to want to become better. Every thought that we have on this holy day makes a very big impact on the entire upcoming year. A person should be filled with hope and emunah. A person should look at things from the right perspective. We should remove all worry and stress and focus on Hashem's rulership over the world and our lives individually. Every mitzvah we do on this day goes a long way. The Chochmat Shelomo writes in his derushim to parashat Ki Tavo that, on Rosh Hashanah, a person should be happy and say the words “Whatever Hashem does is good,” with real emunah. Those words have the power to change a harsh decree into revealed good. Everything we do on Rosh Hashanah has a major impact. A man sent the following question to Rav Yitzchak Zilberstein a few years back. He said that, for whatever reason, his wife is not happy with him and many times she does things just to get him upset. One of the things that she does is on Rosh Hashanah instead of serving him the head of a sheep, she serves him a tail. Normally, we are supposed to eat from the head as a sign that we should be at the head and not at the tail. He said that makes him so nervous because he doesn't want it to be a bad omen for him. The Rabbi told him, to be at the head means we want our true desire of doing good to lead us on the proper path, rather than getting pulled like a tail by our evil inclination. If a person is able to overcome his inclination of getting upset or yelling at his wife and rather accept what she does with love, he will not need any omens to have his good inclination lead him, because he is already practicing it. He will have already proven that he is a head and not a tail. And that is more powerful than any food or any sign. The main thing is that we shouldn't get upset or speak negatively to anybody. A person's attitude can change everything for the better. On one occasion on Rosh Hashanah, a young avrech came to the Slonimer Rebbe looking very scared. He cried to the Rebbe saying he couldn't afford to buy a head. He only had enough to buy a fish tail. Now he was worried that would be a negative omen for him for a bad year. The Rabbi told him, everything goes after a person's attitude and his tefilot . He told him to pick up the tail and say “This should be the tail-end of all of our troubles and suffering and, going forward, we should only have peace and tranquility.” Nothing should bother us on this great and awesome day. We should utilize every moment we can for Torah, for mitzvot and for ma'asim tovim . And we should be happy and calm, trusting in the great mercy of Hashem

What Beracha should one recite before drinking juice extracted from a fruit? Should he recite "She'hakol," the Beracha generally recited over beverages, or should he recite "Bore Peri Ha'etz," the Beracha recited over fruits?The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 202:8) addresses the situation of one who drinks the nectar honey extracted from a date, and rules that he should recite the Beracha of "She'hakol." He then adds that this ruling applies to all liquids extracted from fruit; even though the fruit itself would require the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'etz," one who drinks the juice should recite "She'hakol." The exceptions to this rule, the Shulhan Aruch notes, are the juices extracted from olives and grapes. One who drinks olive oil must (under certain circumstances) recite the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'etz," and one who drinks wine and grape juice recites "Bore Peri Ha'gefen." All other fruit juices, by contrast, require the Beracha of "She'hakol."Does this Halacha apply to contemporary fruit juices, such as orange juice?The answer to this question depends on how one understands the unique status afforded to grapes and olives in this regard. From the comments of the Ritva (Rabbenu Yom Tov of Seville, Spain, 1250-1330), in his work on Masechet Berachot, it appears that grapes and olives are singled out because of their special qualities. Wine brings people joy and is drunk for nourishment, not merely to quench thirst, and for this reason it earns a special Beracha. As for olive oil, the Ritva writes, the Torah (Devarim 8:8) speaks of olives as "Zet Shemen" – "oil olives" – suggesting that the oil constitutes an integral part of the olive. Hence, it requires the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'etz" just like the olive itself. Other commentators, however, including the Rashba (Rabbi Shelomo Ben Aderet, Barcelona, Spain, 1235-1310) and the Meiri (Rabbi Menahem Meiri, 1249-1315), offered a different explanation for the unique status of these fruits. According to this view, the liquids extracted from grapes and olives earn a special Beracha because these fruits are grown with both the fruit and the liquid in mind; the farmers intend when planting vines and olive trees that the fruits will either be eaten or pressed. This intent lends the juices of these fruits a stature equal to the actual fruit, and they therefore warrant a special Beracha.It stands to reason that the status of orange juice nowadays would hinge on this debate. Most orange juice today is produced from orchards specifically grown for this purpose. Hence, according to the view of the Rashba and Meiri, today's orange juice is similar to olive oil and wine in Talmudic times, and thus one who drinks orange juice must recite "Bore Peri Ha'etz." Indeed, this was the position taken by the Hazon Ish (Rabbi Yeshaya Karelitz, Israel, 1879-1954). However, according to the Ritva, the fact that orange juice is produced from oranges planted for this purpose has no bearing on the question of which Beracha to recite. The unique stature of olives and grapes is reserved specifically for these fruits, and thus one who drinks orange juice would recite "She'hakol."The Shulhan Aruch, in the aforementioned passage, establishes a general rule that liquids extracted from all fruits other than grapes and olives require "She'hakol," without making any exceptions. It thus appears that he accepted the Ritva's view, that no other fruits share the unique quality of grapes and olives. Hence, as Rabbi Moshe Halevi (Israel, 1961-2001) rules in his Birkat Hashem (vol. 3, 7:45; listen to audio for precise citation), one who drinks any fruit juice – including orange juice – recites "She'hakol." What more, Rabbi Moshe Halevi writes that if a person recited "Bore Peri Ha'etz" over a fruit juice other than olive oil or grape juice, he has recited a "wasted" Beracha and must correct the mistake by reciting "Baruch Shem Kevod Malchuto Le'olam Va'ed" and then reciting "She'hakol" before drinking.Summary: One who drinks fruit juices other than wine or grape juice (or olive oil, under certain circumstances) recites the Beracha of "She'hakol"; he does not fulfill his obligation by reciting the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'etz."

Puffed wheat – or "Shalva" in Hebrew – is manufactured from whole wheat kernels that are either cooked, baked or air popped. Which Beracha does one recite on puffed wheat? Should one recite "Bore Mine Mezonot," given that this product is made from wheat, or does the fact that the kernels remain whole change their status with respect to the Beracha?The Shulhan Aruch explicitly rules (Orah Haim 208:4; listen to audio for precise citation) that one who eats raw or whole kernels of grain recites the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'adama." The Beracha of "Bore Mine Mezonot" is reserved for products made from processed wheat; if one partakes of whole grains, he recites "Ha'adama" just as one would before eating a vegetable.This Halacha applies not only to whole grain cereals such as Puffed Wheat, but also to granola bars, which are made from rolled oats. The grains remain whole throughout the process, and therefore they require the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'adama," as opposed to "Bore Mine Mezonot" unless the grains are cooked, which would make the Beracha -Mezonot.Which Beracha Aharona does one recite after eating these foods?The Shulhan Aruch addresses this question in the aforementioned passage and initially rules that after eating whole grains one recites "Bore Nefashot." Since whole grains are not treated as grain products with respect to Berachot, as evidenced by the fact that before eating these foods one recites "Ha'adama," after eating one would recite "Bore Nefashot," as opposed to "Al Ha'mihya" which is recited over grain products.However, after presenting this view, the Shulhan Aruch proceeds to record that the Tosefot (school of French and German Talmud scholars) expressed some ambivalence in this regard. They were unsure as to whether after eating whole grains one should recite the Beracha of "Bore Nefashot" or "Al Ha'mihya." Tosefot therefore advised avoiding this situation by eating whole grains only in the context of a bread meal, so that the Birkat Ha'mazon recited after the meal will cover the grains according to all views. Alternatively, one can eat whole grains together with other foods requiring "Bore Nefashot" and "Al Ha'mihya," such that he would have to recite both Berachot in any event.If one did eat whole grains independently, rather than in a meal or together with other foods, which Beracha Aharona should he recite? People very often eat granola bars as a snack, and two granola bars certainly exceeds the minimum required Shiur (quantity) to warrant the recitation of a Beracha Aharona. Which Beracha should one recite in such a case?This issue is subject to a dispute among the Halachic authorities. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1923-1998), in his work Or L'sion (vol. 2, p. 127), rules that in such a case one does not recite a Beracha Aharona at all. Since there is some doubt as to whether the proper Beracha is "Bore Nefashot" or "Al Ha'mihya," and neither of these two Berachot satisfies the requirement to recite the other, it is best not to recite any Beracha in such a case. This is also the ruling of Rabbi Moshe Halevi (Israel, 1961-2001), in his work Birkat Hashem (vol. 2, p. 129).Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, in his work Hazon Ovadia (Laws of Berachot, p. 183), disagrees, and rules that in such a case one should recite "Bore Nefashot," in accordance with the first view cited in the Shulhan Aruch. The Shulhan Aruch here mentions one view anonymously and then cites an authority expressing the contrary opinion. This presentation is known as "Setam Ve'yesh," and a basic rule in studying the Shulhan Aruch establishes that in such instances the Shulhan Aruch viewed the first recorded view as the more authoritative opinion. Hence, in this case, the Shulhan Aruch favored the view requiring that one recite "Bore Nefashot" after partaking of whole grains.At first glance, one might question the Hacham's rationale by noting that this situation is a case of "Safek Berachot," meaning, where the authorities disagree with regard to a Beracha. In such cases, Halacha always requires that one refrain from reciting the Beracha in question – even if the Shulhan Aruch accepts the position that the Beracha is warranted.Hacham Ovadia addresses this question and responds that in this instance, the uncertainty expressed by Tosefot does not suffice to render this a case of "Safek Berachot." Had Tosefot ruled unequivocally that one recites "Al Ha'mihya" after eating whole grains, then we would indeed have been faced with a situation of "Safek Berachot" and would have therefore ruled that no Beracha should be recited. However, Tosefot merely expressed their uncertainty concerning this issue, and this uncertainty cannot undermine the definitive ruling of the Shulhan Aruch that the proper Beracha in such a case is "Bore Nefashot." What more, Hacham Ovadia adds, a large list of Rishonim (Medieval Talmudic scholars) – including the Behag, Rav Saadia Gaon, the Sefer Ha'eshkol, the R'avya, the Rashba, the Rashbatz, the Semag, the Meiri, the Hashlama and the Ritva – concur with the first view cited by the Shulhan Aruch, that one recites "Bore Nefashot" after eating whole grains. Hacham Ovadia even speculates that had Hacham Bension Abba Shaul seen the ruling of all these Rishonim, he would have likely concluded that one should recite "Bore Nefashot" after eating whole grains. Hence, in his view, one who eats whole grains should recite after eating the Beracha of "Bore Nefashot," though it is preferable to avoid this situation as mentioned above.Summary: One who eats whole grain products such as puffed wheat or granola bars recites "Bore Peri Ha'adama" before eating, and, if he ate a "Ke'zayit" or more, "Bore Nefashot" after eating. Preferably, however, one should eat these products only in the context of a bread meal or together with other foods requiring "Bore Nefashot" and "Al Ha'mihya," in order to avoid the Halachic debate concerning the Beracha recited after eating whole grains.
