daat
Zev Sero: daat: [...] Daat is perception. Chochma is the initial flash of inspiration, that is represented in cartoons by a light bulb. You know that you have it, but you don't yet know what it is. It's a point. Binah is the expansion of that flash into an actual idea that can be understood. […]
definition of abezraihu
mcohen at touchlogic.com: definition of abezraihu: Does anyone have a good definition for me of what makes something abezraihu (of AZ, or murder, or G arayos) As opposed to an isur which somewhat connected, but not yaraig v'al yaavor is mixed dancing abezraihu? assisting an abortion abezraihu? Entering a church sanctuary? […]
p'sukim in R"H davenning
Rich, Joel: p'sukim in R"H davenning: Why do the 10 p'sukim in each of the three parts of Musaf R"H davening (malchus, zichronos, shofros) break down in the following order: 3 from Torah, 3 from K'suvim, 3 from Nivi'im, 1 from Torah? Specifically my question is: in all three parts, why is K'suvim before Nevi'im? […]
daat
Akiva Miller: daat: R' Joel Rich asked: [...] Your last line seems to be a rhetorical question, asserting that it is indeed possible to have intellect without choice or choice without intellect, and then asking how that could be possible. I suggest that perhaps you have already figured it out: No, it is not possible. […]
p'sukim in R"H davenning
Sholom Simon: p'sukim in R"H davenning: I'm sure this is a very basic question . . . Why do the 10 p'sukim in each of the three parts of Musaf R"H davening (malchus, zichronos, shofros) break down in the following order: 3 from Torah, 3 from K'suvim, 3 from Nivi'im, 1 from Torah? Specifically my […]
whose learning comes first
Rich, Joel: whose learning comes first: I’d be interested in approximate statistics from communal Rabbis in the daat torah community – How many questions (per 100 family units with marriageable age children) do they get from working parents (fathers) whose children are in the shidduch process of the nature of “what is the appropriate trade […]
daat
Rich, Joel: daat: What is daat? When we say a cheresh, shoteh or katan doesn’t have it, it seems like intellectual acuity. Some commentaries link daat to bechira (choice – as in eitz hadaat tov v’ra). Is it possible to have intellect without choice or choice without intellect? […]
Yehei Shemeih Rabba
Micha Berger: Yehei Shemeih Rabba: The AhS (OC 56:1,3) records a tradition that "shemeih" in Qaddish is an allusion to "Shem Y-H". As in "ki Yad al Keis Kah..." (And, regardless of allusion, since I don't think he's really saying it's two words, RYME also says the hei in NOT mapiq. Weird. A question for […]
What does "teruah" mean?
Simon Montagu: What does "teruah" mean?: On Mon, Sep 9, 2019 at 4:44 PM Zev Sero via Avodah <avodah at lists.aishdas.org> wrote: [...] A related question: in Joshua 6 when all the people "hari`u teru`a gedola", did they shout a great shout, or sound a great teru`a on shofarot?
What does "teruah" mean?
Micha Berger: What does "teruah" mean?: [...] The gemara disputes which aspect of Sisera's mother's crying for her son a teru'ah reenacts. Whether it should be genuchei gana (a shevarim in modern parlance), or yelulei yalal (what we call a teru'ah) -- or both. A machloqes between whether teru'ah refers to a moan or a […]
