טיפע רעיונות פון הגאון רבי אביגדור מיללער זצ"ל

[מונאוויטש]

How can we prevent the assimilation of Jewish children who are in public schools?

The question is, how can one prevent himself from drowning in the Atlantic Ocean. And the answer is, keep your feet dry. Anybody who wants to take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean has to know that he'd better be a good swimmer. And children do not know how to swim against assimilation! So the only answer is not to go. If a Jewish child is enrolled in public school, then he's enrolled in a top-notch course in assimilation, and there's very little you can do for him while he's there.

Are we to consider conservative rabbis and reform rabbis as reshaim? Aren't they simply products of a society of Jews who ran away from Yiddishkeit and are ignorant?

That's two questions. And the answers are yes and yes. Certainly, they are resha'im. A rasha doesn't mean somebody who is going to knife you. A rasha means, as we defined earlier, somebody who is opposed to the Torah. And the conservative rabbis are opposed to the Torah. Most of them don't believe that Hashem ever gave a Torah. So that's a rasha. If a person denies Ma'amad Har Sinai, he denies matan Torah, then what is there to talk about?

Now the second question, is it their fault? Could be not. Could be it's not their fault. But suppose a person grew up in the darkest corner of Harlem, and he never went to school for a day because he was the worst kind of delinquent. And all he learned was how to handle a dagger (sharp knife). And he handled it. And there are victims. So you're going to say he's not a rasha because he's the product of his society? He's a rasha, and he's the product of his society! His society made him a rasha! It's a pity on him, and when he'll come to the next world, in the lower department of the next world, and they'll be stacking the coals in the furnace for him, so they'll take out one coal to compensate him for his lack of education.

Because how many Jewish boys grew up in just the same environment and they fought their way up, and they finally went to college and became lawyers and doctors in the midst of abject poverty? So what's the rachmanus? But even let's say it is a rachmanus, let's say it wasn't his fault. Alright. But a rasha he is anyhow. Anybody who kills, anybody who rapes, anybody who makes violent attacks on innocent people, he's a rasha. It doesn't matter what society he grew up in.

There's a new exhibition opening up at The American Museum of Natural History about fossils. Is it OK to go there?

That exhibition is made solely for the purpose of propaganda. It's all sheker v'kosov.


But doesn't it bring out Hashem's greatness in -

It doesn't bring out anything! I'll tell you why. If it was made for that purpose, if they would let me make an exhibition, I could make an exhibition that would bring out the greatness of Hashem. But their exhibition is planned for propaganda. Don't make any mistake about it. It's planned to take innocent people and deceive them with false stories.

For instance, they'll show you a skeleton of a little creature the size of a cat. Then they'll show you right next to that another skeleton a little bigger than that, another skeleton, a little bit bigger, and finally a skeleton of a horse. And they say, "Look at the stages of the development of the horse." That's what they had in Yale, it was an exhibition in Yale, and it was used for years and years as a proof of the evolution of the horse. Today it's forgotten already. Because, they admit it's four different species with no connection to each other. The horse never came from those animals. This is a little cat. This is a fox. And therefore, by putting them in such a position, it's made nothing but for the purpose of propaganda to deceive the people.

That's why I say keep away from such exhibitions. That’s my advice. If you want an exhibition, walk in the street and look at the tress. There's an exhibition that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is showing you. Look at the fact that every leaf of the millions of leaves on Ocean Parkway, every leaf has two sides; a dark green side where there's a lot of chlorophyll and a light green side where there's not much chlorophyll. And in every case, the light green side is turned away from the sun and the dark green side faces the sun! Millions and millions of leaves! How did that accident happen? Because chlorophyll needs the sun and that's why the dark green side faces the sun. So it's an exhibition of Hakadosh Baruch Hu right here on Ocean Parkway, and you want to run to the exhibition of the apikorsim in Manhattan?!

Should we ignore the yetzer ha'rah or should we look to outsmart him?

The yetzer ha'rah, you have to know, is able to wage war on all fronts. You can't ignore the yetzer ha'rah; it's impossible! But what you can do is to put your mind on what's important. That's not called ignoring. Like the Rambam says, a man who has Torah in his mind, he's not as vulnerable to the foolishness of the yetzer ha'rah as a man with an empty head is. A man with an empty head, he's the one who is easy pickings for the yetzer ha'rah.

When your mind is full of Torah and idealism it's a different thing altogether. You're walking down the avenue thinking about the chesed Hashem in the briyah, you're thinking about the Avos and the Imahos, about yetzias Mitzrayim - there's so much to fill your mind with. And once your mind is filled, there's no room for the foolishness of the yetzer ha'rah.

But just ignoring it? No, there's no such thing. But by going ahead and filling your head with what's right, that kind of ignoring, absolutely you should do. That's the real way to fight the milchama against the yetzer ha'rah! You fill your mind with ideals, with mussar, with yiras shamayim. You fill your mind with what it means to be an ish shaleim, even in lomdus. A man who's anxious for lomdus, he's not thinking about the foolishness of the leidig-geier, the empty fellow, who has nothing to think about and therefore all the foolishness of the world, enter his head. What is this thing that's so enticing? There's nothing to it! It's only imagination, nothing but dimyonos, nothing but imagination. But if you have an empty head, then nature abhors a vacuum, and your head will fill up very quickly with all the foolish dimyonos of this world.

[מונאוויטש]

Why should we buy a home? If Mashiach comes, we'd have to liquidate it and go to Eretz Yisroel, so maybe we should keep the cash in the bank?

Hakadosh Baruch Hu told Yirmiyahu haNovi: "You're going to Bavel for 70 years." He says, "Bnu botim, build homes in Bavel, and see that your daughters are married off. Get busy and lead a normal life wherever you are, because life must go on. When the time will come, I'll call the shots; don't disturb your normal life."

While you are doing all these things, do it l'Shem Shomayim, remember Hakadosh Baruch Hu, be grateful all the time, teach your children Torah and so on, but don't break up your lives. We are not supposed to break up our lives. If you liquidate your house and make it into money, and you'll wait for Mashiach, by the time Mashiach comes you won't have any money left! And who knows if you won't have to go to the poorhouse before that.

Therefore that's the system of the Torah; we don't liquidate anything now. You don't know how long it will take, you have to hope every day, but you cannot make any reckless steps. And even people that tell you, "Go now, sell your homes and settle in Eretz Yisroel!" Even though they are not saying because of Mashiach, settle in Eretz Yisroel, you need a lot of circumspection; you need a lot of good advice before you do such a thing.

I'll tell you a little story. Reb Yisroel Salanter was once approached by a man, many years ago, who was thinking of going to Eretz Yisroel; so Reb Yisroel said "No!"

So he said, "Why?"

"Because in Eretz Yisroel you'll become a beggar, you'll have to come constantly to beg for money, there's no way of making a living." In those days you couldn't make a living in Eretz Yisroel.

What do we see from these words of a big chochom? Making a living is a very important thing; your moral around breaks down when you don't have a parnassa. When you need charity who knows to what moral depths of degradation you will fall. It's very degrading, it's breaking of the spirit and discouraging. Only great people are able to overcome poverty and to continue. And even of those, you have to know a lot of people have died young in Eretz Yisroel because they didn't work. Now I am not discouraging work, people that are able to learn successfully go ahead, but there are people who did not have enough to eat and neglected their health and died young as a result of poverty, and Hakadosh Baruch Hu is not happy when people ruin their health because of poverty.

So if you're able to live successfully under certain circumstances, then go ahead and do it, but most people must take good advice before they do it. It says, "Harbei asu k'Rebbi Shimon Ben Yochoi v'lo olso b'yodum." Many people tried to do like Reb Shimon Ben Yochoi, who didn't want to do anything except learn Torah, and they didn't succeed. Some can, but the multitude cannot, not everybody is suited for that existence.

Therefore it's important to take counsel, don't liquidate anything before you get the go-ahead from somebody who knows.

What Is Living, Really?

It’s free will, the divine spark in man that means living. Without free will, it’s only habit, it’s not bechira, he’s really a dead man. And so what does Hashem do when people honor Him with prayer but their hearts are far away? He punishes them with something worse than the tochacha. He takes away the great leaders and they are left without guidance. They are left in an eternal sleep, a sleep of death.

Who Is A Hero?

One who can give a punch and doesn’t do it, such as Dovid Hamelech. When he was insulted, Dovid said, "Don’t touch him, Hashem told him to curse me!" And because of that incident Dovid became great. Our forefathers were the true heroes. Avraham and Yitzchak and Yaakov were people who learned for the sake of Hashem how to control themselves. And they taught the system to their children and to their followers.

What Is Shabbos For?

There's a very big job before us and that job is to think about Hashem's accomplishments in the world. Shabbos is a day for that purpose. “Atah kidashta — You made holy…”, holy means You set aside this day and You gave it a dignity, “Lishmecha” for Your name.

The purpose of Shabbos therefore is to speak about Hashem, to speak about what He did.

[SPUSMN]

Are We Still Special - Even Today?

Hashem chose our nation because of the virtues of our forefathers, and our people have been loyal to the Torah through thick and thin, for thousands of years. Anything that we did, that’s misdeeds, that’s natural, it’s human, we’re not angels, but no nation in the world could ever aspire to equal us in virtue. And even today the Torah observant Jew is a model of virtue, of decency that all mankind could learn from.

[SPUSMN]

How Can You Control Your Instincts?

The Avos trained themselves to be in full control of every motion and of every whim and instinct. It was a lot of work, but they did it in their service to Hashem; they and their wives and their children and even their slaves. Of course, if we imitate them even a little bit it’s a big success. But Avraham was a moshel over everything, even the sense of sight and the sense of hearing.

Does A Sincere Believer Have to Seek Hashem?

We must be ambitious to gain a closer awareness of Hashem. Now suppose when B'nai Yisroel were to receive the Torah, a very frum Jew would have said, "I believe you! Tell me afterwards what you saw; I’m mikabel right here!" Oh no, Hashem would have said. There’s no bigger success than coming to closeness of feeling the presence of Hashem. To see Hashem as much as possible, that’s our success in this world.

How Can You Give Hashem Nachas While Eating?

When you utilize food for a purpose, know that you are not only giving nachas ruach to Hashem, He wants you to enjoy the food. He gives it b’chein b’chessed u’b’rachamim, He gives it with flavor. Hashem wants you to enjoy eating. Certainly. Umasbia l’chol chai ratzon, He wants to satiate your desires. But above all, most of everything, He wants you to gain the awareness of Hashem, the knowledge of Hashem.

If I don't have a son or a grandson, how can I ensure the continuation of my family?

You can ensure the continuation of the wider family, and that's the Jewish nation, because we're all blood kin. You have cousins, and it's important that they should continue, and by working for a yeshiva you're ensuring the continuation of your family. By working for a Bais Yaakov school that takes in girls and teaches them to be proud, and teaches them how to be good Jewish daughters, and then good Jewish women, good Jewish mothers and have big families, you're doing the best that you can right now in your circumstance. Of course if you're capable of having your own, you surely should be happy at the opportunity.

Everybody can participate in the big job of perpetuating the Jewish nation, and that's Torah education, not what they call education. Yeshivas, Bais Yaakovs, real frum Torah institutions - if you'll help them, raise money for them, induce boys and girls to go there, that's the way you'll ensure the continuation of your family.

[מונאוויטש]

If one is trying to do something, and many obstacles come to stand in his way, how does he know that it is the Satan, or maybe it's a signal from Heaven that he should stop?

Let him ask advice, because many times people think they are doing good things and it's the opposite of good. Ask counsel, and if somebody tells you it's good, somebody who is capable tells you it's good, then the obstacle is only a test. It makes you give a higher jump to get over it, that's all, you'll get more reward.

In general shomeia l'eitza chochom (Mishlei 12:15), a person who listens to good advice is a wise man. Good advice does not mean a marriage counselor. It does not mean a psychologist or psychiatrist; keep away from them like you keep away from a rattlesnake, unless he is a very frum Jew, because they have ruined a tremendous amount of people.

Look for somebody! If the Lubavitcher Rebbe will let you talk to him, if Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky will let you talk to him, if gedolei yisroel will let you take counsel of them, then prize them and utilize the opportunity. If lesser people are available then use them, but it's important.

Most people don't use this advice at all that I am giving, they never take counsel of Torah sages, because they think that they are capable of handling their own affairs. nobody is! Even the Torah sage should take counsel of somebody else. Rav Elchonon Wasserman always took counsel of the Chofetz Chaim or Reb Chaim Brisker. Even though he was well on in years he continued to take counsel of the great men.

This is a big error that Orthodox Jews today commit; there are some people today that don't even belong to a synagogue, they travel around Shabbos morning. They load their tallis underneath their coat and they are off for adventures to a new synagogue. And so you don't know anytalmid chochom, at least a local rabbi, a local rebbe, somebody, you have no connection.

A woman calls me up, she has trouble with her husband, he's getting off the derech hayoshor, he needs counsel, she's from Boro Park. I ask where does he daven? He davens in ten different places. That's a great pity; he has nobody to listen to. Everybody should be attached to somebody!

And think, when was the last time you asked advice? When was the last time that you had a conference with a talmid chochom? When was the last time you sought help from somebody who was capable of giving it? You never did it probably; that's a great error.

אמר להו רב חסדא לבנתיה תיהוי צניעתן באפי גברייכו, לא תיכלון נהמא באפי גברייכו, לא תיכלון ירקא בליליא, לא תיכלון תמרי בליליא, ולא תשתון שיכרא בליליא, ולא תיפנון היכא דמפני גברייכו. (שבת קכ:)

Is it true that Rabbi Miller once said that a wife should avoid going to the bathroom when her husband would come in immediately afterwards? If so please explain.

This is a statement by Rav Chisda who admonished his daughters. In the olden days they had no bathrooms, and he told his daughters that they should not go to a place on the fields where their husbands would come, and that is sound advice. A wife should always maintain the illusion that she eats roses. As silly as it may seem it is nevertheless a fact, that a husband can be kept all his life under the impression that his wife is nothing but a cloud of daintiness. It's only a careless woman who dispels that allusion and loses precious capital. Of course you cannot avoid going to the bathroom when it's necessary, but if you do go and you know that your husband will have to use the bathroom, make it your business to do what's necessary, the place should be well aired and perfumed before you leave. Those who wish to ridicule this, let them do so, but Rav Chisda was smarter.

It's very important to recognize the gashmius, the material relationship between a husband and wife. They don't marry merely for spiritual relations. A husband regards a wife entirely different than teachers regard a talmidah. And to maintain this delicate relationship, which is a combination of materialism and spiritualism, it's necessary for the wife to be a chachomah. At all times she should look her best and in all other ways create the most favorable impression. Even though it is sometimes burdensome, there's effort involved, it pays; it pays. Any amount of effort invested in maintaining thisillusion is worthwhile.

Even eating in the presence of her husband should be done most daintily. It's when the husband has not yet come home from work, that she can dive in and really enjoy herself, she can slurp the soup and smack her lips, and live it up. When he comes, if she sits down at the table with him, she's already had her fill and now she can eat like a little bird and her husband admires her as a spiritual being.

So you girls who think it's funny, should know that Rav Chisda was smarter.

How Can You Fathom Hashem's Ways?

The sages of the gemara revealed secrets to us. When you plow your field, and plant, it's not easy, and then you wait while the wheat grows ...

What's the general rule when it comes to the perushim of midrashim. Are they literal? Are they allegories? Are they riddles?

This you have to know, works according to lomdus, so it's not for a novice to decide. There's no general rule. Sometimes it's pshuto k'mishmuo, what it says is to be understood literally; and by those midrashim the very best advice is to follow them exactly as they're said. The aggadata is a gold mine. One seventh of shas is aggadata. It's a big mistake when the rebbes skip the aggadata in the yeshivos. They should say shiurim on the aggadata too; it's very important. It's a gold mine of Torah attitudes, of how to live life. You can become a tzadik from learning agadata properly.

But some of the agadata and midrashim, you have to know, are mesholim. Sometimes they are only allegories, which means that it's a levush, a cover, for another idea. However, to know where it's k'pshuto and when not k'pshuto? You have to talk to a mumcha, an expert; you can't make your own decisions.

Should I be saying Tikun Chatzos during the Nine Days?

Tikun Chatzos is a good thing, but don't just daven it up. I would say that it's a good idea to just sit down on the floor before you go to sleep - even for a minute. Do it after your wife falls asleep - or after your husband falls asleep - so that they won't think you've gone crazy. But sit on the floor in aveilus for the Churban Beis Ha'mikdash, mourning for the destruction, for a full minute and then go to sleep.

A minute is also good enough. Don't think it's a small thing. When I was a boy I used to say Tikun Chatzos. But now - even better - sit on the floor for a moment and think about what we're missing. A minute for the Churban Beis Ha'mikdash and then go to sleep. This is a very good eitzah you're hearing now - a very important piece of advice.

What should a girl do if her chosson says that he intends to learn forever?

She should change her mind about him, and she should look for somebody else. Every man has the right to learn for a certain amount of time, but he must be clear in his conviction that eventually, he must support his family. If a young man makes a condition with his kallah that he will be learning forever no matter what, then he is not a useful person at all. Forget about him.

Now, it could be that sometimes things work out. He might, let's say, get a very big stipend from a Kollel. Or sometimes he might, for example, get an opportunity to give shiur in a high-level Mesivta. He's saying a shiur for talmidei chachomim and he's making a parnasa. That's a pleasure! And then he can learn forever. Sure, why not?

But if he makes a stipulation beforehand - if he tells you, "I'm never going to work," then I think that you should forget about him.

Should I go to the Holocaust Museum in order to learn more about the Holocaust?

Don't go to Holocaust museums. You can make yourself familiar with the Holocaust in many ways but the Holocaust museums should not be one of them. There are plenty of good books - good books written by frum people - about the Holocaust. But don't go to the museums. The museums, you have to know, are all poisoned. They've been poisoned by the baalei toeva and the apikorsim.

Every Holocaust museum today, sets up certain exhibits and forms of mourning for the lost baalei toeva that Hitler executed. They mix together their tum'ah with our kedoshim who lost their lives. They put them in the same category.

But we're not interested in mourning for the baalei toeva that Hitler executed. It's the Am Yisroel - the Am Hashem - that we're interested in. And going to their museums will poison your mind with the opposite of da'as Hashem.

All the Holocaust museums have been contaminated with the bad ideas of the outside world. To have a museum dedicated to the Holocaust and Hakodosh Boruch Hu is not mentioned even once?!! It's apikorsis! So keep away from them.

Are there any objections to frum Jews playing state lottery games?

In Europe there were state lotteries, and it wasn't considered wrong, even for frum Jews, to buy a lottery ticket. However, some Jews go overboard with it and that leads to trouble. It's like drinking wine for kiddush. It's a good thing, but drinking too much wine, or drinking all the time, that's not so good.

What happens is that people start hanging around these places and putting all their money into it. You even have some fools who think they have perfected the system how to win; there are actually fools like that! I know all about it because I have to deal with them. I argued with one. His wife called me up, and she says that all their money is going down the drain in the lottery tickets. So I spoke to him, and he told me he has a system! He's following a system, and he's bound to win. Only that it didn't come yet; it's always right around the corner. A fool!
