- [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 […]

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 […]
- [Avodah] Concordance of Onkelos December 22, 2024. In the few years that I've been learning Chumash with Onkelos, I've become fascinated with his translation style, and I have many conjectures which would be a lot easier to research if I had the right tools. For example, consider the Aramaic word "rav" (resh beis), or, with the definite article, "raba" (resh beis […]

Some of them may simply be because of the word "yom". While "Yom Zeh Mechubad" may refer to the […]
