- [Avodah] Dikduk and the Age of the Chumash January 12, 2025R Prof Joshue Berman recently blogged a review of Proc Aaron Kornkohl's work: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/biblical-grammar-enters-the-culture-wars I was interested. When I was a bachur, RSM zt"l pointed out to me the evolution of only using "asher" - not having a prefix version in Chumash to "sha-" as a prefix in Shofetim or Rus, to "she-" as you […]
- [Avodah] zeh haklal January 11, 2025The mishna often provides a number of specific case examples and then says zeh haklal. Is the assumption that these were all included in the original mishna?

There?s no doubt in my mind that the micro-halachic issues you discussed (eg the physical risks from certain interventions) are particularly important for individual psak today (even retired actuaries love risk/reward analysis). However, I think the really […]

- [Avodah] Tense Berachos January 2, 2025(Sorry for the misleading title. It was just too fun for me to pass up.) In his column this week (see below), R Daniel Mann addresses the question as to whether the berakhah should be "shehakol nihyeh" or "nihyah". The reason this is a machloqes acharonim has to do with Chazal's non-simple position about the […]
- [Avodah] Kalah NaAh VeChasudah - Midvar Sheker January 1, 2025In Avodah V43n1, R' Micha noted: > At the end of Bereishis, the brothers tell Yoseif an outright fabrication. (Given Chazal's assumption that Yaaqov didn't actually say such a thing in an incident that isn't in the chumash.) < We seemingly had a[nother] fabrication in last week's *sedra*: compare what the brothers say in 44:8 […]
