- [Avodah] levels of effort needed above pure din January 1, 2025An example of various levels of what chazal may have thought of levels of effort needed above pure din. I?d love to better understand the threshold calculations and what they mean in shamayim. A different example might be going 5 mil for water when the ?requirement? is only to go 4. ? ???? ?????? ????

- [Avodah] Mesora? January 1, 2025>From R? A Zivotofsky: Claim: There is a mesorah on turkey. Ask almost anyone from the older generation and they will confirm that they and their family and their community ate turkey without hesitation. Analysis: I think this is the most persuasive argument for the continued treatment of turkey as kosher. There is indeed a […]
- [Avodah] Kalah NaAh VeChasudah - Midvar Sheker December 31, 2024R Micha, I am still unsure of your meaning Is it relevant that YaAkov is arranging a self-serving deception, he WANTS his father to reach the wrong conclusion in order to prevent Eisav getting the Beracha and in order to gain the Beracha for himself? Is that not significantly different from Kalah NaAh VeChasudah where […]

- [Avodah] Kalah NaAh VeChasudah - Midvar Sheker December 29, 2024Rather than reply to RMGR directly, I was going to refer him to my source, R Yitzchak Berowitz's Center for Jewish Values and their mar'eh meqomos booklets titled "Genveivas Da'as" and "Midevar Sheqer Tirchaq", respectively. But it appears that since I was in a chubaurah learning these sheets, all the booklets were bound into prined […]
- [Avodah] Concordance of Onkelos December 29, 2024On Sat, Dec 21, 2024 at 08:09:19PM -0500, Akiva Miller via Avodah wrote: > Last week I noticed the word Aluf appear many times near the end of > Vayishlach... I think aluf is also etymologically related to "elef" and the name of the first letter (and thus to oxen?). Also, aluf is both the […]

- [Avodah] Jewish customs by R Dr Zvi Ron December 25, 2024Worthwhile reading ? Jewish customs by R Dr Zvi Ron. Deeply researched in both halachic and secular scholarship, my general take is that one needs both in order to understand the likely evolution of many minhagim. Apparently historical realia make a difference and it?s not so bad to incorporate general societal expressions into minhagiam (eg […]
- [Avodah] Rav Tanna Upalig December 25, 2024I?ve been looking into the statement Rav Tanna Upalig. One place where it's an issue is beitza 9a. Lots of questions in general, but the one specific one I?d be interested in hearing people?s opinions on is the comment (there) by both Rashi and Tosfot that Rav was the greatest in his generation modified by […]
- [Avodah] Kalah NaAh VeChasudah - Midvar Sheker December 25, 2024R Micha posted - if you need to lie mipenei darkei shalom, it is better to avoid lying overtly and rather communicate obliquely which 'allows' the other person to reach their own misunderstanding. for example - "Anokhi. Eisav bekhorekha" knowing Yitzchaq would assume Yaaqov was saying "Anoki Eisav bererekha". (As per Rashi.) Or "Kalah na'ah […]
