[Avodah] A Nice Holiday Vort

Someone tried to post the following idea a couple of days ago. I
rejected the post with a request that they snip down some of the
quoting, but the 2nd version never arrived. My apologies that I do not
recall who it was.

Hashem's "mitzvas hayom" kavayachol for Rosh haShanah is to write in
those books. Therefore, of course the writting is permitted on Rosh
haShanah. It is only writing when RH is on Shabbos that's a problem,
as the mitzvas hayom for RH wouldn't trump Shabbos. (Not without an
equivalent to beris milah's "bayom hashemini".) Writing for hatzalas
nefashos IS allowed, thus leading the Barditchever to argue that this
was the only thing Hashem was allowed to write on Shabbos RH.

That said, a cerebral analysis of a vort from the Barditchever misses
the whole point.

GCT and :-)@@ii!
