Today’s Arukh HaShulchan Yomi is sponsored by the program’s founder and my partner, Rabbi Micha Berger, lekhavod R’ Yechiel Michel Epstein’s yahrzeit, in honor and thanks to me and the entire AhSY chevrah who are keeping his Torah alive. (See OC 568:13. RYME would have wanted us to observe his yahrzeit in Adar Rishon, i.e., today, 22 Adar I.*)

*I mistakenly said 21 Adar I at the beginning of the shiur.

>From President Lincoln: ?By general law life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, […]
Conversation between Me and R J Ziring on one of his shiurim: Me: Wasn?t sure from what you were saying whether you believe post-Kant one can ?prove? religion in a traditional sense. (VS. R?YBS) R?JZ:? I do not agree with the Rav following Kant in general on this issue, but partially because I do not […]
. Near the beginning of Hilchos Chanuka in the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (139:1), he uses the phrase, "ad shericham aleihem E-lohei avoseinu." I checked several different recent editions, and they all printed that Shem with a heh. Not a kuf, or any other sort of typographical modification. I would love to know how the author […]

(now how often does this happen?! ) This paragraph is from a shiur from R Sholom Rosner, https://alldaf.org/p/42929, starting at around 10:50. On these […]

In Avodah V43n73, RAMiller asked, "What was miraculous about that ram?" On a Mi Yodeya page (URL: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/48734/what-was-the-significance-of-the-ram-by-the-akeida), I noticed a few answers: -1- 3. The special nature of this ram was exemplified by, possibly, making it to the list of items created at twilight, in the fifth chapter of Avos. ... I was wondering […]

InOtherWords, HKBH knows what He's doing DON'T MIX IN Just do as you're told. […]
"Why? Why didn't the ba`al qri'ah just write in the vowels? We are obliged to read the book of Esther from a parchment (which is, parenthetically, a better term than "qlaf"; books of the Bible aren't supposed to be written on qlaf, although they can be, they're supposed to be written on gvil) and yet […]
