Description
Tzeela Gez, hy"d. R' Menashe Klein (MK), Mishneh Halachot (MH) 6:165: Bekiyut preferable to Charifut. Image memory vs. event memory. Importance of studying halachah. The Rav: Stevenson vs. Eisenhower. Non-Jewish elevator operator on Shabbat. MK: Get enough sleep. Eat properly: low quantity and high quality. The puzzling last sentence in this teshuvah. MH 7:159: Telz student asks: What is the best 1st halachah book for a ba'al teshuvah? It depends on the individual. MK recommends Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (simple language). With Mishnah Berurah (MB) one needs some background. MB vs. Aruch Hashulchan. MH 7:160: A shochet who rejects MB over Kitzur in making decisions. Is he denigrating MB? Gebrochts/Matzah shruyah. R' Chaim Halberstam of Sanz, Divrei Chaim (DH), deals with someone who criticized Ohr HaChaim (OH) as lacking ruach hakodesh. Life of OH. Bibas family. Ohr HaChaim perfect fit for Chassidut. Ba'al Shem Tov sensed his death. DH: Bava Batra states chachamim have ruach hakodesh. DH: stay away from the denier. MH: Therefore, avoid butcher who says MB not written with ruach hakodesh. Disagree don't denigrate. Similar example: Satmar attack on R' Moshe Feinstein in מענה לאגרות.
