- [Avodah] Did Adam Speak Hebrew? November 7, 2025I know we all assume Adam spoke Lashon haQodesh, but... Sanhderin 38b has Rav Yehudah amar Rav, "Adam haRishon spoin in the Aramaic language." Citing Tehillim 139:17-19 that slips into Aramaic in retelling what Adam said upon his creation -- "im tiqtol Eloak rasha". I have a theory that both are true. We know that […]

Who is that referring to? Thoughts? KT Joel Rich

- [Avodah] Names in Aramaic and other languages October 30, 2025I think we are conflating two subjects: Halachic vs legal names, and the original question of whether a name should get translated, eg in targum. The first category touches home: I bought my dirah before having Israeli citizenship, so the name on the paperwork is that on my passport: Mitchel Samuel Berger. To make ownership […]

- [Avodah] Are We to Humiliate Sinners as Mitzvah Tochacha? October 29, 2025Brent Kaufman wrote: The commandment is to admonish, not to ensure the sinners repent. It seems this is inaccurate. We are commanded to continue to admonish until they accept or are readying to strike the admonisher. [RaMBaM DeOs 6:7] One who notices a co-religionist who has sinned or has taken an unhealthy life-path, has a […]

De Sola Pool indeed translated "Bar E-lohin" in Berikh Shmei as "Angel" or "Son of God". I vaguely remember he did the […]
