Hi all! It's been a while. I have somewhat reorganized to help stop the breaks!
This Chabura, given by Uncle Andy, is going to have you thinking. He takes us through a shaila that help engage in many points about the Sugya of Lifnei Iver. Notice, how it is understanding the sugya that bring the psak.
This chabura was very enjoyable, I love that it comes from the practical application and works backwards, makes it interesting and alluring.
I like all the points that my father makes...I had a diff point to make about the Ani, the whole point or fact the they are an Ani might mean that they are like the case of the two sides of the river, if not and they can get elsewhere, are they truly an ani? Meaning to say without you they wouldnt have that much more and in the scenario of an ani every amount counts (even if we assumign this is not talking about makom sakana), so it makes the situation diff and perhaps that is why…
Andy,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful Torah with us.
I want to share three thoughts provoked by your chabura:
>> Aside from the לפני עוור of the moment, is there not also a concern that what you are doing may appear to be consent and approval as well as lack of objection to your guest eating without a ברכה (or washing), and thereby facilitate his doing so with greater comfort, or even diminish the compulsion in the future to consider the need for a ברכה ?
>> Seems that perhaps there is another perspective on the קולה for feeding the עני, or perhaps "your guest" in some circumstances: Feeding an עני is a מצוה עשי and לא תתן מכשו…
