"ספר "חודש לשנה


Flatbush Jewish Journal Seforim Review by Rabbi Yaakov Levitz

The welfare and livelihood of our brethren is something that is, and should be, of utmost importance to us. In that vein, RMoshe Feinstien ztl ruled that when one is dismissed from his position,his former employer must pay a pension of Chodesh Lshana, one month of pay in return for every year the position was held. Sefer Chodesh Lshana is based on this Psak of RMoshe. It discusses the background of the Shaila and explains what RMoshe based his Psak on. An important element of the Shaila is what accepted practice is, since we assume that an employer accepts on himself the standard pension in the Jewish world. To show that the accepted norm is indeed a month for a year, Chodesh Lshana includes in it dozens of letters from Batei Din and Rabbonim from all over the world attesting to the fact that they in fact follow the arrangement of a month for a year. The arrangement of Chodesh Lshana, though seemingly new, has its precedent in the Rishonim.The Chinuch (Mitzvah 482) when discussing the Mitzvah of giving gifts to an Eved Ivri who is leaving his servitude, encourages any employer to furnish a worker who is leaving his service with an appropriate send off. Nothing less could be expected of the Jewish people whose Simanim include the Middos of Rachmanim and Gomlei chasadim.

Virtually every letter in this pamphlet says clearly that Chodes L’Shana is only for Cli Kodesh!

Are you aware that there are those who don't know that chodesh l'shana must be paid for kli kodesh?

לא ראיתי הספר מבפנים, אבל השער בּלאט אומר בּפירוש פּיצוי לכלי קודש 'או לעובד שפּוטר ממשרתו' והשוה 'כלי קודשׂ' לעובד סתם! ואדרבה החידוש הוא שהכלי קודש לא נקראים עובדים! אולי הם רק פּועל בּטלים ואעפ"כ צריכים לשלמם

Since the Grand Issur on the Erev in Willi, Reb Moshe became recognized even by the Imamms of the Satmar bedatz.... So whom are you representing, the amoheoretz that has only a Korban mincha siddur in his Seforim shrank...

From my experience and what I heard from C M Dayanim this pesak is being used only in the Torah field as Melamdim etc...
in the secular business wold this is not applied by us Jews who follow the Botie dinim

You are pricelessly funny. I understand that the Dibros Moshe is too difficult for many of the benei HaGolah, as the Teshuvos Chasam Sofer is too. They are both called רשכבה"ג because amongst the chorosh vehamasger, the people who know what learning is, they are the ones to turn to. I have yet to hear of someone with a shverrer tosfos who looked in the seforim of the mahari"t. if רשכבה"ג is connected to the the חמה שפוכה וביד חזקה I agree; the mahari"t is רשכבה"ג and R' Moishe and the Chasam Sofer were not.

"From my experience and what I heard from C M Dayanim this pesak is being used only in the Torah field as Melamdim etc...

1) I think the fact that you use the words "this psak is being used" is very revealing- a psak from a gadol which is accepted and followed, is not "used." Does that mean you get to "use" the psak when its convinient and ignore it when its not?

2) Is "us Jews who follow batei dinim" the name of a club? How does one join? Are the Gedolei/Poskei Hador accepted as members?

nisht nor said...

It does not say "melamed" it says "kli kodesh" which includes many others besides medlamdim...

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

the Sefer includes letters from Gedolei Torah and Dayanim Mumchim from all parts of Klal Yisroel- no politics. There are tshuvos included from very respected Rabbonim who are Litvishe, Sefardish, Chassidish [a tshuvah from Rav Dovid Shochet of Toronto is included], Modernish, Yekkish, Chareidi, Mizrachi, European. It is another firm testimony to the tremendous Ahavas Yisroel of Reb Moshe Zt"l, that respected Rabbonim from every path and circle of yiddishkeit accept and respect his psak halacha. (Almost every path...)

Forget about the BMG torah world! a work in transition to say the least..! how about bring us a picture (instead of a thousand words) of the alumni/talmididm of RMF's famous מתיבתא תפארת ירושלים on the 'lower east side' atleast from the 1940's to the 1960's ?

Looks like Mr. "RMF said" is so desperate not to address the facts [or even discuss halacha], that he has decided to try to distract the oilam by attacking the the gadol hador. Someone give him a lollypop.

Rav Moshe Ztvk"l, the Gadol and Posek Hador who never was involved with machloikes- who to this day, is missed and mourned by ALL parts of klal yisroel-in America AND Eretz Yisroel. Who's levyah in America and E"Y was the largest unison of yidden for a niftar in millennia. Everyone loved him, and at the same time he wrote chiddushim and psakim on kol hatorah kulah- addressing all issue that came before him, whether the most simple question or the most difficult and unprecedented.

Yet a silly blogger wants to question if he was accepted.

Is that said on all 'Talmidei Chachamin' or just on a certain size, and not one-size-fits-all?

truth said...

There are those who don't understand the diff between machloikes and petty insults and attacks. Of course every emesdik gadol b'torah will take positions which are counter to others opinions- however as is known, when reb moshe ztvkl issued a psak and others argued, he did not try to "tear down the other side"- he just proved based on the toirah how his position was correct. He never "ordered" his talmidim and klal yisroel to follow his position [he understood that such a concept his based on secular ideas not elu v'elu divrei...]- klal yisroel and the gadolei hador willingly followed him and accepted his psakim because they understood his unmatched gadlus in psak halcha and torah. Even when people would come and attack him for his psakim he refused attack them in return...a true anuv...

it's unfortunate that a segment of klal yisroel never got to know that kind of gudil.

I amazed at the hatred seen in the comments on this page [that has nothing to do with the subject and article posted]. There are ehrliche Satmar Chassidim just as there are ehrlich Lubavitch or Litvishe or Sefardishe.

However, the so called satmar chassid posting on this site is certainly not ehrliche sounding- he sounds very bitter and very angry- he must be a very unhappy person to feel the need to search for an opportunity to spread his hatred in a public forum. Quite a nebach.

"never say never said..."

I bet you distort that line to as a green light to "take revenge like a snake" "on behalf of klal yisroel" anytime you see or hear something/someone that does not fit exactly in you mesorah based on a daas yachid. You feel a "holy obligation" to have sinas chinam.

A tip of advice- leave psak to the poskeim....you sound realllllly ignorant when you quote random divrei chazal that have zero shaychis to the topic....then again, perhaps this is another way of your venting frustuation and/or bitterness and/or anger?

no h8 said...

Hirschel, if you must allow these hateful (totally unrelated to the subject) comments, perhaps move them to a seperate post where the "satmar" blogger [and the responses] could write all the hate his heart desires but at least it won't be mixed into a conversation that involves real tachlis such as this one?
