E.g., men light Shabbos candles through their wives' doing so and women don tefilin through their husbands' doing so (IIRC, this is a teaching of the Arizal quoted by the Lubavitcher Rebbe).<br /><br />Also, perhaps the events before birth can enlighten us on how to view those after death. See the discussion at the beginning of tractate Sotah, where it states that 40 days before a fetus is formed, a heavenly voice proclaims bas ploni liploni--which is addressed to the baby boy. There, too, the identity of the female seems subsumed in the male's.Yehoishophot Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906934928426540018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836379088405065709.post-81235702047324135322017-02-26T01:38:51.423-05:002017-02-26T01:38:51.423-05:00Really nice and interesting post.

In summertime there’s a long Shabbos afternoon. People who climb into pajamas Shabbos after the evening meal in the wintertime and in the summertime climb into bed after the seudah and climb out just for Mincha (afternoon prayers) are committing suicide. They’re ruining their lives.<br />Motzei Shabbos (the evening after) is an opportunity. Don’t just run around visiting relatives. Forget about relatives. You have one relative you have to visit; that’s yourself. Life is only for the purpose of making something out of yourself.<br />You have Friday night and all day Shabbos. Shabbos morning before davening should be utilized. Shabbos afternoon, Motzei Shabbos, too. If you don’t work on Sundays, then be a kollel man on Sundays. <br /><br />'Oh', your wife will say, 'at least one day a week you have to be home'. Say, “My dear, I am not in the yeshiva now. The yeshiva people are all going full speed ahead every day of the week. I have one day, and that one day I should waste?” Sunday morning, say goodbye to your family, take along lunch, and spend the day someplace else. Don’t go home until nighttime. (Nighttime means 10:00 at night.)"<br /><br />You can contact newsletters@simchashachaim.com<br />and ask for the R' Miller emails.Critiquerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788007492647988964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836379088405065709.post-73596529818844803762017-02-21T11:28:27.950-05:002017-02-21T11:28:27.950-05:00If anyone here has read Rabbi Avigdor Miller's...If anyone here has read Rabbi Avigdor Miller's Q and A's or heard any of his quotes or read them, can you help me find this that I remember reading/seeing.

The "mental health professional" has completely replaced the spiritual guide in modern society. Rabbis are viewed as unprofessional, "unlicensed" charlatans, while "therapy" from "mental health professionals" and pills are always the solution to personal issues, and their rulings are final, authoritative, and unappealable on life-and-death matters, e.g., on whether a couple should get divorced or on whether a parent is fit.
