  • The Ksav Sofer asks, what does Chazal mean that there is no Mazel for Jews, this contradicts the Gemara that children, wealth, and health are dependent on Mazel. Furthermore, how do the Birchas Kohamim, which refer specifically to children and wealth, have an effect if it's against someone's Mazel?\\xa0

  • A possible rationalization for the Minhag in \\u05d7\\u05d5\\u05e5 \\u05dc\\u05d0\\u05e8\\u05e5, as brought in the Rema, to Duchen only on Yom Tov but not any other time (not even shabbos).\\xa0

  • The Limudei Nissim writes that Avrohom Avinu was Zoche to be above Mazel and not under the control of nature when he went with Yitzchok to do the unnatural act of \\u05e2\\u05e7\\u05d9\\u05d3\\u05ea \\u05d9\\u05e6\\u05d7\\u05e7. This act continues with Klal Yisrael and their acceptance of the Torah.
