Mechitza

Or anybody that davens like him, anyone that says B'ruch HaSamozen like him is Yitza.

But I don't want to sit next to him in my Mechitza, in my area in Gan Eden.

And Amosha Aron Shtern Zuchen Levracha explained what the Chavetz Chaim meant.

The Chavetz Chaim wanted to sit with individuals that are fulfilling Rotz Ein Hashem B'Shleimos.

I think, interestingly, the non-binary piece is harder because in Orthodoxy, everything is binary.

You have to choose the side of the Mechitza, you know, and so it's a little bit like, what is non-binary? How do I categorize you? Really, basically, which mitzvot are you going to perform? Like, because it's very clear, like men do this, women do that, you know, everybody does that.

And so how do you categorize somebody and, you know, how do they live a halakhic Jewish life? That's just to say something about non-binary.

And in terms of accepting name changes, I mean, it's just a lot of trans people go away and leave their Orthodox communities and then they come back when they're fully transitioned and hopefully will be accepted for who they are in that moment.

By the way, there are a whole bunch of Halachos that aren't in Shulchan Aruch for some reason, uh, like the Isur to speak Lashon Hara doesn't appear in Shulchan Aruch, but it's a pretty big Isur, right? Meaning it's a, it's a pretty serious Isur.

Um, the, the idea that you have to have a Mechitza in the shul between men and women doesn't appear in Shulchan Aruch.

There are a lot of, uh, you know, good Halachos that don't appear in Shulchan Aruch that no one argues about.

Um, but anyway, um, the Rama writes, "ויש מכילים בעשי שותפות עם העכו"ם בזמן הזה משום שאין העכו"ם בזמן הזה נשבעים באווי זרים ואף על גב דמאזכירים האווי זרים מכל מקום כוונתו לא עושי שמיים וארץ אלא שמשתפים שם שמיים בדבר אחר." That in making a Shutas with a, with a, with an Akum, the problem is that he's going to, uh, you know, to swear by the name of his Avodah Zarah, and then you will have caused him to swear Lo Yishama Al Piha.

He says it's hargasha, it's more of hargasha than I could, I feel it more than I could imagine it.

He says that all the dinu mechitzos, gerasek, chulu, are only said when you're coming to, when you're coming to use it for Dinah Mechitzahs, but it's not a factual Mechitzah, he said, I once spoke to Mendel Zaks, the Chavetz Chaim's Edim, he said, you know everywhere, and he said that, the people in Meir, that when you, there's this clothesline, you have the string, the rope that goes across, it goes on top of the Sukkah, if you say Lava, then it's cute, there's a gag on the Sukkah, so he said, it's Mameshna, and in Meir, he was saying like this, and Chazanesh has a Lashon, that Lava does not oil, you put strings across your Sukkot, it's Pasal, you make it Surah Pesach, that's not the way it works.

And he says that, someone told him, Masa Malach, his good friend, says in the Pasach, what do you have to be? You know, you see everything that happens, you could, you could be a Seinei Hashem, but who cares, you see that everything gets destroyed, so why don't you do it? So he said that, it was only, he says, they couldn't bring everything in, it was only, they were able to do it, they love her, and so that already, you have to be a Yerushalayim to believe, that since it has a dim bias, so it's not going to go in, and so he said, told them that, that this Urim of Lovah and everything of other were not known before Matan Teah.

I saw a story brought down by Erbiak Kamnetsky.

And one of his younger kids, Chasnas, he called Rebbe Aaron Cutler, who was his cousin and very close to, and told him that he should only stay for the Chapa because it's not going to be a Mechitzah at the Chasna.

And since the Elam in Lakewood now is starting to be Makbed, so Melech is not covered that he should stay by such Chasna.

At the Chasna, Rebbe Yaakov told him that he was Chaser because it would be unfair to this child.

But the place she put her letter into, there was something in there, she couldn't put it in there.

Right next to Mechitza, in the Kotel, there was a crack in the wall.

She stuck her letter into the crack, and another letter came down.

Imagine.

It's a mechitza that accounts for something.

It makes it that you can't make that kind of mechitza on Shabbos, even in an open R.I. And he adds that even though the mechitza is only coming for a hekar, that you shouldn't eat it with a chametz.

It's like a kisoy, basically, that covering, which G-d says that a mechitza that's that the Heter is not because it's a Mechitza, because it's being Mishamish as a Kisoy, and he says it's not considered to be a Mechitza on Matteras.

So why is this considered to be a Mechitza on Matteras? We're saying you cannot put up this partition on Yom Tov, you have to turn over a Klee.

Right, I soil or I, we say no, it's a Mechitza on Matteras.

But if it's just for a Kisoy, it's not a Mechitza on Matteras.

So the answer is that since on Chol Moed, you've got to make a Mechitza, so on Shabbos, it's also considered to be a Mechitza, it's considered to be a Mechitza on Matteras in that way.

might come to eat it also Um, .

"De'shema'akom einu chamets sheim u'nacham etzel-- el, el, uh, birshus Yisrael.

Va'afilu asa mechitza gam ken lo mahani." Even building a Mechitza doesn't help because maybe he, he doesn't really care about, uh, where exactly you're putting it and as long as it's in your Rishus.

So Chaiv, we said you have to destroy it.

"Ve'sha'as higiaz manabi uremena al kum kan sheyachziru lo." Look, if [laughs]It's not yours.
