- [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 […]

- [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.

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 […]

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 […]
