You might have thought it is a midas chassidus b'alma, but were that the case, who cares if you miss on day a week or not? Kah mashma lan R' Chiya that this is a real din.<br /><br />Going one step further according to your machshava mehalaich, if this somehow is a kiyum in eradicating Amalek (and why not -- after all, the Chofetz Chaim said limud Torah is a kiyum of eradicating Amalek because we know their attack was caused by "rafu y'deihem" of Klal Yisrael in Torah) then maybe we have a hesber of why women are exempt from this takanah (assuming they are) according to the Chinuch's view that women are exempt from milchemes Amalek. (Yes, I'm really stretching the point, aren't I?)Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-13609095416504628702013-07-29T12:42:23.038-04:002013-07-29T12:42:23.038-04:00Interestingly, you left out the next word in the p...Interestingly, you left out the next word in the posuk - mai'imcha. Could be a diyuk that this is a mitzvah sheb'gufo [as in the Brisker mehalach in neshima achas of aseres bnei haman].<br /><br />In any case, as an expansion to your conjecture, note that amalek is amal kuf: a nice round number, logical, mechanical, and scientific. No Divinity in the picture. We understand, on the other hand, that shoneh talmudo mai'ah pe'amim v'Echad [capitalized on purpose] is immeasurably greater.<br /><br />R' Meir [from Esav...] mentions the takana of me'ah brachot, perhaps as a counteraction to the kefira of amalek: to be metzaref the yud Kai b'vav Kai in the me'ah of tevah. And, emunah and bitachon are not subject to shome'ah k'oneh. <br /><br />Lest anyone think that this takana is a "minhag" be'almah, note that when the Rambam, Ramban, and nos'ai keilim in the Sefer Hamitzvot give examples of mitzvot de'rabbanan, me'ah berachot is prominently mentioned.great Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728976902210831137noreply@blogger.com
