Colbert, Stewart and the rest of their thugs must be elated. Another four years where they don't have to hire writers because Trump will hand them all their material for free!
No. I did not see the video. Daf hayomi today Arachin 5b: “ Said Raba: The decision of R. Meir appeals to logic, but not the reason; the reason of R. Judah is logical, but not his decision. The decision of R. Meir appeals to logic as it is written: “When the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned exiles were building a temple to the Lord God of Israel, they approached Zerubbabel and the chiefs of the clans and said to them, Let us build with you, since we too worship your God, having offered sacrifices to Him since the time of King Esarhaddon of Assyria, who brought us here. Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the chiefs of the clans of Israel answered them, It is not for you and us לא לכם ולנו לבנות to build a House to our God, but we alone will build it to the Lord God of Israel, in accord with the charge that the king, King Cyrus of Persia, laid upon us. Thereupon the people of the land undermined the resolve of the people of Judah, and made them afraid to build ומבהלים אותם לבנות. They bribed ministers וסוכרים עליהם יועצים in order to thwart their plans להפר עצתם all the years of King Cyrus of Persia and until the reign of King Darius of Persia.” (Ezra 4:1-5) Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house unto our God. His reason does not appeal, for he argues from the case of a deaf-mute, an imbecile or a minor; but it is different with them since they have no intelligence. The reason of R. Judah is logical, for he deduces it from the case of one of doubtful sex and a hermaphrodite, which, although endowed with intelligence, are yet excluded by the Divine Law [from evaluation]. His decision, however, does not appeal, as it is written: It is not for you and us לא לכם ולנו לבנות. How, indeed, does R. Judah deal with Ye have nothing to do with us? R. Hisda said in the name of Abimi: His valuation [money] must be hidden. But then one should not be guilty of sacrilege in connection with them, for it was taught: Concerning the five kinds of sin-offerings which must be left to die, and all moneys that must be cast into the Dead Sea, one must not derive any benefit from them, nor is one guilty of sacrilege [if one has used them]. Why then was it taught with regard to the consecration of idol-worshippers: These things apply only to things consecrated for the altar, but things consecrated for Temple repairs are subject to the law of sacrilege? Rather, said Raba: It [tThe refusal to accept the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin gifts in the days of Ezra.] was due to the weakening of the hands, as it is written: “Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah and harried them while they were building ומבהלים אותם לבנו.” Wow Ezra faced a mob Left as in Israel today (Haaretz, Meretz etc) and as in America today (Sanders Cortez etc). Zachariah 1:1 starts with the 2nd year of Darius: “In the eighth month of the second year of Darius [2], this word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo” (Zachariah 1:1). This Darius (Darius 2) is the son of Queen Esther and is Jewish. Darius 1 lived earlier “He delivers and saves, and performs signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, for He delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. Thus Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and during the reign of Cyrus the Persian.” (Daniel 6:28-29). Zachariah and Haggai stared prophesizing in the 2nd year of Dariius 2. In the first year of Darius 2 the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin were weakened. Bravo. Thank God. Today the Left in the USA is weak under Trump, thank God. Under Darius 2 we finished building the Holy Temple, started a Sanhedrin, made laws such as the siddur etc. Beautiful. A view is that Malachi was Mordechai. The Ramban says that the majority of Jews world-wide lived in Israel under King Darius 2. Today the majority of Jews world-wide live in Israel. Any thoughts: KA, IR, Berel, DT Joe Orlow, those that love and support Trump and Netanyahu ?
