- [Avodah] Every Bullet Has Its Address September 4, 2024"They" say that every bullet has a predestined name and address. Unfortunately, I don't know who "they" are, and Google wasn't any help either. Nevertheless, I found pasuk 19:5 in this week's parsha to be relevant. The context is a wood-chopper who doesn't realize that his axe is defective: "If the iron slips off the […]

KaVuA, OBriens Meat September 4, 2024Please tell us more about Tosafos's definition (Chullin 95a "sefeiqo assur") that qavua describes a case where the item that is assur is NOT niqar. Do you, R Micha, mean to say that Porish means that the item in Q IS Nikkar. Why is one case Nikkar whilst the other is not? Do you mean […]

OBriens Meat September 4, 2024R Micha, you wrote - Consequentialism - the best outcome for the most people - but not in all circumstances only where someone is anyway going to die, the boat example or where someone will certainly be killed, what makes your blood redder than his?

- [Avodah] Tzedaka allocations September 3, 2024Tzedaka is an area that I?ve found fascinating for a while. IMHO halacha/hashkafa provides general guidelines, but leaves a lot up to the individual. I?ve often thought that the process involved in allocations is a wonderful opportunity to clarify one?s own thinking as to hkbh?s priorities. When one just gives to a general fund, their […]
