Conversation between Me and R J Ziring on one of his shiurim: Me: Wasn?t sure from what you were saying whether you believe post-Kant one can ?prove? religion in a traditional sense. (VS.

In Avodah V43n73, RAMiller asked, "What was miraculous about that ram?" On a Mi Yodeya page (URL: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/48734/what-was-the-significance-of-the-ram-by-the-akeida), I noticed a few answers: -1- 3.
