Kavod Talmidei Chachamim

1501 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Protesting Lack of Kavod

 We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim. If a person is in a situation where people are being mevazeh talmidei chachamim, they have a chiyuv macha’ah, to protest against the bizayon. The Gemara says that one who is mevazeh a talmid chacham is put into cherem, and one who is present when others […]

1500 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Hiddur 9 – Elderly People 

 We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim. Today, we will discuss the halachos of a seivah. We learned (shiur 1484) that it is a machlokes whether seivah begins at age 60 or 70, and since this is a question of a chiyuv deoraysa, one should be machmir. Although we learned (shiur 1487) that

1499 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Hiddur 8 – Defining Rabo 2

 We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim, specifically the halachos of hiddur. We left off with the question of someone from whom one has not learned for a long period of time, but rather someone from whom one picks up ideas or other thoughts based on the situation. The Gemara discusses this situation

1498 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Hiddur – 7 – Defining Rabo – 1

We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim, specifically the halachos of hiddur. We need to discuss the status of the wife of a talmid chacham. The Gemara says that when Rav Huna’s wife would come to bais din, Rav Nachman would stand up for her. He did not stand up for her because

1497 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Hiddur 5 – Bizayon 1

 We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim, specifically the halachos of hiddur. The Gemara in the tenth perek of Sanhedrin talks about someone known as an apikores. We are familiar with the term as used to describe a person who has incorrect belief systems about Hashem. The Gemara has another explanation, and says

1496 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Hiddur 4 – Disagreeing or Agreeing with a Rebbi

 We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim, specifically the halachos of hiddur. When one speaks to a talmid chacham, one must use whichever titles are most appropriate. As we learned (shiur 1493), anything which has become accepted as a vehicle for presenting kavod would be a part of this chiyuv of hiddur. If

1494 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Hiddur 2 – Sosei D’varav, Kedima B’tor

 We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim, specifically the halachos of hiddur. Rashi in Chumash quotes the Toras Kohanim, which says that one should not be soseir (lit. break down) the words of a talmid chacham. Soseir can mean a few things. If a person needs to correct or challenge a talmid chacham,

1493 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Hiddur 1 – Dibbur; Yeshiva B’Mekomo

 We are discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim. In shiur 1491, we left off with the question of whether there can be a chiyuv hiddur even if there is no chiyuv kimah, or whether they are inexorably tied together. The Sefer Chareidim writes that the chiyuv of hiddur is to speak to the talmid

1492 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69) – Tircha on the Tzibbur 2

 We are continuing in the halachos of standing for a talmid chacham. We mentioned in siman 9 that a chacham should not burden the tzibbur and should try to avoid making the tzibbur stand up. The Shach is of the opinion that this halacha applied more at the times of the Gemara, where people sat

1491 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69 Siman 10) – Gadol Hado

 We are beginning siman 10. The Chayei Adam points out that a rebbe muvhak is not so applicable nowadays, as we learned previously (shiur 1490). However, he writes that there is one exception, which is a gadol hador. A gadol hador is understood to be an individual who is clearly head and shoulders above the

1488 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69 Siman 6) Subterfuge to be Relieved from the Mitzvah

 We are beginning siman 6. The Chayei Adam writes, based on a Gemara, that it is assur for one to close their eyes when a talmid chacham (or seivah) are about to pass. The pasuk which teaches us the chiyuv for kimah and hiddur ends with veyareisa mei’elokecha, that regarding this mitzvah one should have

1487 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69 Siman 4-5) Explanation for Leniency

 We have finished simanim 4-5, which discussed the times and places in which one is chayav to stand melo komaso (to full height) for a talmid chacham or seivah. We left off with the question that although these appear to be straightforward halachos, we see that many do not seem to fulfill this mitzvah to

1486 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69 Siman 4-5) 

 We are beginning siman 4, regarding giving kavod to talmidei chachamim. We learned about the situations in which a person is chayav to stand up; today we will learn about the definition of standing up. The Chayei Adam writes that the basic halacha is that when a person is chayav to stand up, they should

1485 – Kavod Talmidei Chachamim – (Klal 69 Siman 3) 

 We are beginning siman 3, discussing the halachos of kavod talmidei chachamim. The Chayei Adam will define when the chiyuv to stand up begins. The Chayei Adam writes that the chiyuv to stand for one of the individuals we discussed previously (a talmid chacham or elderly Jew) only begins when the individual is within 4

 We are beginning siman 2, discussing the halachos of kavod for talmidei chachamim. In siman 1, we learned that the mitzvah of standing up for someone applies to a talmid chacham even if they are not elderly. Today, we will discuss standing up for someone elderly even if they are not a talmid chacham.  The
