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 […]

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 […]
