Daf Hayomi Menachoth 87a: R. JOSE SON OF R. JUDAH SAYS etc., R. Johanan [Sh. Mek. Raba] raised the question. If a man consecrated it [sc. wine with scum] does he incur stripes for consecrating a blemished thing or not? Since it is unfit it is like a blemished animal; or [shall we say that the prohibition of] a blemished thing applies only to animals? This question remains undecided. Our Rabbis taught: Rams [were brought] from Moab, lambs from Hebron, calves from Sharon, and doves from the Royal Mountain [lit., the mountain of the King, i.e., the hill-country of Judea]. R. Judah said, One should bring lambs whose height was equal to their breadth [According to another reading: רחבים שגביהן whose backs are broad]. Raba son of R. Shila said, What is the reason for R. Judah's view? For it is written, “So rain shall be provided for the seed with which you sow the ground, and the bread that the ground brings forth shall be rich and fat. Your livestock, in that day, shall graze in broad pastures כר נרחב; (Isaiah 30:23) It is written, “Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen, Who shall never be silent By day or by night. O you, the Lord’s remembrancers המזכירים [i.e., the watchmen just mentioned.], Take no rest אל דמי לכם.” What do they say? Raba son of R. Shila said. [They say,] “You will surely arise and take pity on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her; the appointed time has come.” (Psalms 102:14) R. Nahman b. Isaac said, [They say,] “The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers in the exiles of Israel” (Ibid 147:2). And what did they say before this [sc. before the destruction of Jerusalem]? Raba son of R. Shila said, [They used to say.] “For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His seat.” (Ibid. 132:13). My opinion is that a person that brings wine, part of his sacrifice in the Holy Temple, that has scum mixed in, does not incur stripes since bad wine is not as bad as a blemished animal. We live in times of prosperity with Israeli animals, grains, fruits and vegetables and cheese etc rich and fat, of phenomenal quality. The angels watching over us are saying that the appointed time has come.
Torah thought on תולדת “But the children struggled in her womb, and she said, If so, why do I exist? למה זה אנכי She went to inquire of the Lord, and the Lord answered her, Two nations are in your womb, Two separate peoples shall issue from your body; One people shall be mightier than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.” (Genesis 25:22-23) Rebekah had a most difficult pregnancy, she prayed to God and she went to seek prophecy on what be the outcome. Looks to me that she kept her pain and worries to herself, meaning not telling Isaac. Isaac prayed so much for the pregnancy. According to the רמבן she wished to die. רמב"ן בראשית כ"ה כ"ב והנכון בעיני כי אמרה אם כן - יהיה לי למה זה אנכי - בעולם, הלואי אינני, שאמות או שלא הייתי, כטעם כאשר לא הייתי אהיה (איוב י יט): “Had I been as though I never was, Had I been carried from the womb to the grave.” (Job 10:19). My theory is that God created men with huge desires for a woman (sex) and for food (a good dish etc). “When some time had passed, Abimelech king of the Philistines, looking out of the window, saw Isaac fondling his wife Rebekah.” (Genesis 26:8). I say that this was before Esau and Jacob. Isaac fondled Rebekah because it stimulated him etc. Isaac had a strong desire for sex. “Isaac favored Esau because he had a taste for game [lit. game was in his mouth], but Rebekah favored Jacob” (Genesis 25:28). I say that Isaac very much enjoyed a good dish dinner. “Take your gear, your quiver and bow, and go out into the open and hunt me some game. Then prepare a dish for me such as I like, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my innermost blessing before I die.” (Genesis 27:3-4). This is how God created men to love to fondle etc a woman and to eat a good dish. The world has sex and good food etc. Rebekah went, maybe to Abraham, maybe to Shem, to unload her pain etc. Isaac would never understand Rebekah wishing to die. Follow, Eddie, Yehoshua etc?
Eddie says “Well, I agree with the nature of (straight) man but how did you derive this about Isaac?” Thanks for your comment. Yes I was from very early seeking …women…and eating well. I thank God over and over for His making me as I am. I’m so glad with my wife Yemima…and I do eat extremely well, thank you God. I’ll know Thursday, maybe, if SCOTUS will give me docket number. “And the Lord God fashioned the rib that He had taken from the man into a woman; and He brought her to the man. Then the man said, This one at last Is bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one shall be called Woman אשה, For from man מאיש was she taken. Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, so that they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:22-24). “The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and tend it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you are free to eat; but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat of it; for as soon as you eat of it, you shall die.” (Genesis 2:15-17).
Eddie says “Well, I agree with the nature of (straight) man but how did you derive this about Isaac?” “Isaac then brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he took Rebekah as his wife. Isaac loved her, and thus found comfort after his mother’s death.” (Genesis 24:67). Isaac loved Rebekah after he brought her into the tent…fondled etc. Rebekah… Adam, too, loved Chava after “He brought her to the man” fondled etc Chava… “You shall not judge unfairly: you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning and upset the plea of the just.” (Deuteronomy 16:19). I heard that Isaac took bribe from Esau when “Isaac favored Esau because he had a taste for game [lit. game was in his mouth].” This lead to When Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, My son. He answered, Here I am. (Genesis 27:1). This is “bribes blind the eyes of the discerning,” namely Isaac. “Then she put in the hands of her son Jacob the dish and the bread that she had prepared. He went to his father and said, Father. And he said, Yes, which of my sons are you? Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, your first-born; I have done as you told me. Pray sit up and eat of my game, that you may give me your innermost blessing.” (Ibid 17-19). This is “upset the plea of the just,” namely Jacob.
Who said that about bribes? Kli yakar says he was blinded because of his love for esav. Not sure you can project your own desires on Isaac. Having said that, the commentators say Yosef was young and had fashionable haircut.
Torah thought on Parshat ויצא. “But Laban said to him, If you will indulge me [lit. If I have found favor in your eyes] I have learned by divination נחשתי that the Lord has blessed me on your account. And he continued, Name the wages due from me, and I will pay you. But he [Jacob] said, You know well how I have served you and how your livestock has fared with me. For the little you had before I came has grown to much, since the Lord has blessed you wherever I turned. And now, when shall I make provision for my own household?” (Genesis 30:27-29). Midrash Rabbah - Genesis LXXIII:8 “ ‘and Laban said unto him: if now I have found favor in thine eyes-I have observed the signs’ (XXX, 27)-‘I have tested and probed, and found that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake’ (ib). ‘and he said: appoint me thy wages’ (ib. 28): declare a fixed wage. ‘for it was little מעט which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly’ (ib. 29 f.). R. Judah b. R. Simon said in the name of Hezekiah: מעט means seventy [seventy head of cattle and sheep]; מעט is said here, while elsewhere it says, Few מעט in number (Deut. XXVI, 5)[The reference is to those who went down into Egypt]: just as there seventy are meant, so here too it means seventy. ‘and the lord hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned ‘(XXX, 30). Wherever the righteous go a blessing accompanies them. Isaac went down to Gerar, and a blessing followed him, as it says, ‘And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him’ (Gen. XXVI, 12). Joseph went down to Potiphar, and a blessing followed him, as it says, ‘And the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake ‘(ib. XXXIX, 5). Jacob went down to Laban and a blessing followed him, as it says, ‘and the lord hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned [lit. at my feet]. ‘and now when shall I provide for mine own house also’ (XXX, 30)? Reuben requires a house, Simeon requires a house.” Jacob travels from Israel to Haran. Wow, Laban’s wealth in terms of heads of cattle, sheep etc greatly multiples. There is a principle of economics, which Trump supports and so do I, that globalization and world trade greatly increases wealth, the environment and technology for everyone.
More on globalization and world trade greatly increases wealth, improves the environment and generates new technology for everyone. Shabbat 33b “Since a miracle has occurred, said he, let me go and amend something, for it is written, “Jacob arrived safe שלם in the city of Shechem which is in the land of Canaan—having come thus from Paddan-aram—and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר.” (Genesis 33:18). Which Rab interpreted. Bodily whole [sound], financially whole, and whole in his learning. and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר Rab said: He instituted coinage for them [in place of barter]. Samuel said: He instituted markets for them; R. Johanan said: He instituted baths for them.” Wow Jacob instituted coinage in place of barter! Wow Jacob instituted markets for them and baths. The people of Shechem thought Jacob generous etc רש"י בראשית פרק ל"ד כ"א שלמים - בשלום ובלב שלם: והארץ הנה רחבת ידים - כאדם שידו רחבה וותרנית, כלומר לא תפסידו כלום, פרקמטיא הרבה באה לכאן ואין לה קונים: Trump always wants trade where both parties benefit. Laban and the people of Shechem knew that they benefited tremendously from Jacob. Jews throughout history benefited foreign countries, eg Spain. When the foreign country cut ties with us Jews, they went into poverty, as did Spain. Laban too went in poverty. Midrash Rabbah - Genesis LXXIV:16 “ ‘Early in the morning, Laban kissed his sons and daughters and bade them good-by; then Laban left on his journey homeward’ (Genesis 32:1), that is, to his misery [poverty]. This teaches that robbers entered his house and made merry all that night.”
“from nov 5 to nov 20 i will be staying in Boro Park visiting family” Are people in Boro Park following the K-G heter scandal? May I show here parts of my package for a SCOTUS docket number? Today is my 3rd effort. I now attach Exhibit A: State of New York Court of Appeals Decision October 23, 2018. I now follow SCOTUS rules.
5.The Appellate Division, 2nd Dept. put in motions on behalf of the court to my detriment. They denied me poor person relief---most unfairly. Susan is a well-known feminist activist involved with the Epstein kidnapping. Judge Freda Wolfson sentenced Mendel Epstein to 10-years jail, stating, Pacer:” I do find that the criminal conduct for which Epstein was convicted was heinous, regardless whether the act was committed in a religious context. More importantly, Epstein engaged in kidnappings, for the purposes of forced gittin, years before he was arrested; this was hardly a one-time, aberrational act on Epstein's part.” 6.Question Presented The Court of Appeals, New York State's highest court, is composed of a Chief Judge and six Associate Judges, each appointed to a 14-year term. New York's highest appellate court was established to articulate statewide principles of law in the context of deciding particular lawsuits. The Court thus generally focuses on broad issues of law as distinguished from individual factual disputes. Can the NYS Court of Appeals dismiss my case saying that they don't have jurisdiction to entertain it? 7.List of Parties All parties appear in the caption of the case on the cover page. 8.Statement of the Case Susan's NYC civil divorce Judge Prus signed 9/10/2013 is a farce, an embarrassment, a joke. The Court can easily request the police or other agency to investigate the fake/phony March 7, 1995 Rigler order of separation, which Susan and Judge Prus refuse to send me a copy of. 9. Reasons for Granting the Petition The trial and jail sentence of the late Judge Gerald Garson was just the tip of the iceberg of fraud etc in NYS civil courts. The Court granting me my petition will help root out fraud etc in NYS civil courts. 10.Conclusion The petition for a writ of certiorari should be granted.
Torah thought on this week’s parsha וישלח Jacob brought God’s blessings to Shechem Talmud Shabbat 33b: “it is written, ‘Jacob arrived safe שלם in the city of Shechem which is in the land of Canaan—having come thus from Paddan-aram—and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר’ (Genesis 33:18). Which Rab interpreted. bodily whole שלם, financially whole שלם, and whole שלם in his learning. and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר Rab said: He instituted coinage for them [in place of barter]. Samuel said: He : He instituted markets for them; R. Johanan said: He instituted baths for them.” Wow, Jacob instituted coinage in place of barter! Wow, Jacob instituted markets and baths for Shechem! Laban knew well that Jacob brought God’s blessings with him and so did Potiphar knew that Joseph brought God’s blessings with him. Rashi writes that the people of Shechem thought Jacob magnanimous and that Jacob, his wives and children settling in Shechem will benefit their economy. Rashi on “These people are our friends שלמים; let them settle in the land and move about in it, for the land is large enough for them והארץ הנה רחבת ידים; we will take their daughters to ourselves as wives and give our daughters to them” (Genesis 34:21): “שלמים This means they come in peace בשלום and with whole heart. For the land is large enough for them, Like a person whose hand is broad, i.e., who is generous and free spending. As if to say, you will lose nothing. Much trade comes here and it has no customers.” Jews throughout history benefited foreign countries, such as Spain and Portugal. When the foreign country expels Jews, they start to go into poverty. Thank G-d, we live in blessed times. I sent today a new motion for reargument to the NYS Ct of Appeals. Why not? I like doing it. What’s new with ORA and the K-G heter scandal, Eddie, Yehoshua, etc?
Eddie says “Have you completed one cycle of daf yomi?” Eddie please tell us what you know of Rabbi Danny Rich. See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/23022 “In the UK Jewish community there also what might be called “second degree whitewashers.” They give a declaration of good conduct to JVL or some of its members. One such “once removed whitewasher” is Rabbi Danny Rich, Chief Executive of Liberal Judaism. He is a Labour Councilor and a member of the Jewish Labour Movement. Rich has said that JVL chair, Jenny Manson, is a very decent woman. According to the Jewish Chronicle, Manson has admitted that she only began to identify as a Jew in order to argue against the State of Israel. Rich furthermore gave the job of a tour leader to Israel to a woman who had participated in the public Kaddish in London for Palestinians including many Hamas operatives killed by the IDF. Several JVL supporters are well-known long term anti-Israel inciters.” Eddie, are you Danny Rich? Are you a Jewish whitewasher of Labour anti-Semitism?
actually, I met him at University, but I was orthodox and he was reform, so I was not too entertained by his views. Also, I do not support these crazy dogs who say "kaddish" for amalek/pilishtim. what makes you think I am one of those? Haven't you read my debate with Berel, who attacks the Tzaddik Rav Kook? I follow rav Kook, and his son, rav Tzvi Yehuda. What indications do you have that I am anti-zionist? quite the opposite, berel and his his Hamas friends are the enemies of israel, they wear Palestine keffiyas round their necks, and they put the right over the left in a queer transvestite fashion. How is Ariel , btw? lovely;y University :) Oh, berel will hate you twice, 1) for going to University, 20 for it being in liberated 3 oaths West bank. Berel says kaddish for the fallen hamas terrorists, not me.
“from nov 5 to nov 20 i will be staying in Boro Park visiting family” See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/23025 “I can best support the theories based on New York, where I live and advise multiple campaigns on all levels. I heard multiple times, "You can vote for Donald Trump, but vote for Democrats for everything else. Jews voted for Governor Cuomo, Senator Gillibrand and the rest of the statewide candidates. They overwhelmingly voted to keep a Democratic Assembly and overturned a State Senate, which now has a Democratic majority. Republican judges on local levels lost. Long term incumbents, whose records show them supporting our needs, lost… Everyone, including paid political consultants and strategists tell me, "All non-religious Jews vote Democratic, all Orthodox Jews vote Republican." Really, in New York, the Orthodox communities of Queens and Brooklyn, the Five Towns, Great Neck and the areas surrounding Suffern, like Monsey, all have for the most part, Democratic representatives. Yes, they all stand in our shuls, our yeshivas and with organization leaders at events, but do they call out the classrooms teaching hateful propaganda, do they stop the discrimination in public jobs, or do they publicly call out CAIR, Linda Sarsour or any other public Israel hater? Moslems, Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks are voting in record numbers for Republicans. Why aren't Jews?” Rabbi Eidensohn, how did Boro Park people vote? Do have a theory to explain that Moslems, Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks are voting in record numbers for Republicans and not Jews? My theory is that too many Jews are in the hate Trump camp, while many many Moslems, Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks are in the love Trump camp. I’m a Trump and Netanyahu supporter. Bravo, no early elections in Israel!
On this week’s parsha וישלח. “Esau ran to greet him. He embraced him and, falling on his neck, he kissed him; and they wept.” (Genesis 33:4). The words “he kissed him” has dots over וישקהו. Midrash ולמה נקוד, מלמד שלא בקש לנשקו אלא לנשכו Dots mean that the opposite is intended. This is like Trump blessing Nany Perlosi etc. Everyone, please read Shmuley Boteach. Yes, I’m a big fan of his. See https://www.jpost.com/Opinion/No-Holds-Barred-Are-Jared-and-Ivanka-good-for-the-Jews-572305 “I believe that president Obama’s Iran nuclear agreement was a betrayal of all American and Jewish values, seeing as it rewarded a murderous government with $150 billion while they promised to slaughter more than six million Jews… She pushes her father, the most powerful man on earth, to recognize the Jewish people’s eternal capital in Jerusalem. She urges her father to remove the United States from the Iran Nuclear Agreement, since Iran seeks “Death to America” and is planning to build bombs to enact a second Holocaust, which they promise proudly. Her father appoints an ambassador to the UN who finally makes it clear to that amoral world body that they had better stop bullying Israel or they’ll alienate the United States. And then that same woman proudly keeps the Jewish religion as, arguably, the first Orthodox senior female adviser to a president of the United States in American history. And what is her reward from the community she joined? Threats of excommunication… And so are the citizens of Israel, where Trump enjoys an 80% approval rating. That does not mean Trump has been perfect on Jewish issues, especially on Charlottesville. But it does mean that his Jewish opponents, even if they won’t give him any credit, have to stop calling him Hitler and demonizing his family. It’s disgusting. It’s vile. And it has to stop.” Trump and Netanyahu are doing so much good for Israel, thank G-d.
Wow the NYS Court of Appeals is calendaring my motion for reargument! Why? Because I wrote to them on Sunday:
8.Briefly, this is the statement of my case for reargument. Susan's NYC civil divorce Judge Prus signed 9/10/2013 is a farce, an embarrassment, a joke.The Court can easily request the police or other agency to investigate the fake/phony March 7, 1995 Rigler order of separation, which Susan and Judge Prus refuse to send me a copy of. 9.Briefly, this is my reason that the Court should grant my motion for reargument.The trial and jail sentence of the late Judge Gerald Garson was just the tip of the iceberg of fraud etc in NYS civil courts. The Court granting me my motion for reargument will help root out fraud etc in NYS civil courts. 10.I ask that the NYS Court of Appeals calendar the present motion. See https://www.wsj.com/articles/chief-justice-roberts-rebuts-trumps-attacks-on-judges-1542827385 I’m attacking NYS judges. I support Trump and Netanyahu. I agree with Trump “It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an ‘independent judiciary,’ but if it is why are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking,” the tweets said. Thank you, my friends, for your help and support on this blog.

I thank God over and over for His making me as I am. I’m so glad with my wife Yemima…and I do eat extremely well, thank you God. I’ll know Thursday, maybe, if SCOTUS will give me docket number.
ReplyDelete“And the Lord God fashioned the rib that He had taken from the man into a woman; and He brought her to the man. Then the man said, This one at last Is bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one shall be called Woman אשה, For from man מאיש was she taken. Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, so that they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:22-24).
“The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and tend it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you are free to eat; but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat of it; for as soon as you eat of it, you shall die.” (Genesis 2:15-17).

ReplyDelete“Isaac then brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he took Rebekah as his wife. Isaac loved her, and thus found comfort after his mother’s death.” (Genesis 24:67).
Isaac loved Rebekah after he brought her into the tent…fondled etc. Rebekah…
Adam, too, loved Chava after “He brought her to the man” fondled etc Chava…
“You shall not judge unfairly: you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning and upset the plea of the just.” (Deuteronomy 16:19).
I heard that Isaac took bribe from Esau when “Isaac favored Esau because he had a taste for game [lit. game was in his mouth].” This lead to When Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, My son. He answered, Here I am. (Genesis 27:1). This is “bribes blind the eyes of the discerning,” namely Isaac.
“Then she put in the hands of her son Jacob the dish and the bread that she had prepared. He went to his father and said, Father. And he said, Yes, which of my sons are you? Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, your first-born; I have done as you told me. Pray sit up and eat of my game, that you may give me your innermost blessing.” (Ibid 17-19). This is “upset the plea of the just,” namely Jacob.
boropark is almost all chassidic. enjoy the change of minhagim etc. its nice experience
ReplyDeleteWho said that about bribes? Kli yakar says he was blinded because of his love for esav.
ReplyDeleteNot sure you can project your own desires on Isaac. Having said that, the commentators say Yosef was young and had fashionable haircut.
Why are u comparing him to Rav Shlomo???

ReplyDelete“But Laban said to him, If you will indulge me [lit. If I have found favor in your eyes] I have learned by divination נחשתי that the Lord has blessed me on your account. And he continued, Name the wages due from me, and I will pay you. But he [Jacob] said, You know well how I have served you and how your livestock has fared with me. For the little you had before I came has grown to much, since the Lord has blessed you wherever I turned. And now, when shall I make provision for my own household?” (Genesis 30:27-29).
Midrash Rabbah - Genesis LXXIII:8
“ ‘and Laban said unto him: if now I have found favor in thine eyes-I have observed the signs’ (XXX, 27)-‘I have tested and probed, and found that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake’ (ib). ‘and he said: appoint me thy wages’ (ib. 28): declare a fixed wage. ‘for it was little מעט which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly’ (ib. 29 f.). R. Judah b. R. Simon said in the name of Hezekiah: מעט means seventy [seventy head of cattle and sheep]; מעט is said here, while elsewhere it says, Few מעט in number (Deut. XXVI, 5)[The reference is to those who went down into Egypt]: just as there seventy are meant, so here too it means seventy. ‘and the lord hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned ‘(XXX, 30). Wherever the righteous go a blessing accompanies them. Isaac went down to Gerar, and a blessing followed him, as it says, ‘And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him’ (Gen. XXVI, 12). Joseph went down to Potiphar, and a blessing followed him, as it says, ‘And the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake ‘(ib. XXXIX, 5). Jacob went down to Laban and a blessing followed him, as it says, ‘and the lord hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned [lit. at my feet]. ‘and now when shall I provide for mine own house also’ (XXX, 30)? Reuben requires a house, Simeon requires a house.”
Jacob travels from Israel to Haran. Wow, Laban’s wealth in terms of heads of cattle, sheep etc greatly multiples. There is a principle of economics, which Trump supports and so do I, that globalization and world trade greatly increases wealth, the environment and technology for everyone.
More on globalization and world trade greatly increases wealth, improves the environment and generates new technology for everyone.

“Since a miracle has occurred, said he, let me go and amend something, for it is written, “Jacob arrived safe שלם in the city of Shechem which is in the land of Canaan—having come thus from Paddan-aram—and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר.” (Genesis 33:18). Which Rab interpreted. Bodily whole [sound], financially whole, and whole in his learning. and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר Rab said: He instituted coinage for them [in place of barter]. Samuel said: He instituted markets for them; R. Johanan said: He instituted baths for them.”
Wow Jacob instituted coinage in place of barter! Wow Jacob instituted markets for them and baths. The people of Shechem thought Jacob generous etc
רש"י בראשית פרק ל"ד כ"א
שלמים - בשלום ובלב שלם:
והארץ הנה רחבת ידים - כאדם שידו רחבה וותרנית, כלומר לא תפסידו כלום, פרקמטיא הרבה באה לכאן ואין לה קונים:
Trump always wants trade where both parties benefit. Laban and the people of Shechem knew that they benefited tremendously from Jacob. Jews throughout history benefited foreign countries, eg Spain. When the foreign country cut ties with us Jews, they went into poverty, as did Spain. Laban too went in poverty.
Midrash Rabbah - Genesis LXXIV:16
“ ‘Early in the morning, Laban kissed his sons and daughters and bade them good-by; then Laban left on his journey homeward’ (Genesis 32:1), that is, to his misery [poverty]. This teaches that robbers entered his house and made merry all that night.”
He is a gadol of similar caliber, and sadly both are loosers, although rav shlomo had a beautiful voice

ReplyDeleteAre people in Boro Park following the K-G heter scandal? May I show here parts of my package for a SCOTUS docket number? Today is my 3rd effort. I now attach Exhibit A: State of New York Court of Appeals Decision October 23, 2018. I now follow SCOTUS rules.
5.The Appellate Division, 2nd Dept. put in motions on behalf of the court to my detriment. They denied me poor person relief---most unfairly. Susan is a well-known feminist activist involved with the Epstein kidnapping. Judge Freda Wolfson sentenced Mendel Epstein to 10-years jail, stating, Pacer:” I do find that the criminal conduct for which Epstein was convicted was heinous, regardless whether the act was committed in a religious context. More importantly, Epstein engaged in kidnappings, for the purposes of forced gittin, years before he was arrested; this was hardly a one-time, aberrational act on Epstein's part.”
6.Question Presented The Court of Appeals, New York State's highest court, is composed of a Chief Judge and six Associate Judges, each appointed to a 14-year term. New York's highest appellate court was established to articulate statewide principles of law in the context of deciding particular lawsuits. The Court thus generally focuses on broad issues of law as distinguished from individual factual disputes. Can the NYS Court of Appeals dismiss my case saying that they don't have jurisdiction to entertain it?
7.List of Parties All parties appear in the caption of the case on the cover page.
8.Statement of the Case Susan's NYC civil divorce Judge Prus signed 9/10/2013 is a farce, an embarrassment, a joke. The Court can easily request the police or other agency to investigate the fake/phony March 7, 1995 Rigler order of separation, which Susan and Judge Prus refuse to send me a copy of.
9. Reasons for Granting the Petition The trial and jail sentence of the late Judge Gerald Garson was just the tip of the iceberg of fraud etc in NYS civil courts. The Court granting me my petition will help root out fraud etc in NYS civil courts.
10.Conclusion The petition for a writ of certiorari should be granted.
Really? And your buddy Shalom is a 'winner'?

ReplyDeleteJacob brought God’s blessings to Shechem
Talmud Shabbat 33b:
“it is written, ‘Jacob arrived safe שלם in the city of Shechem which is in the land of Canaan—having come thus from Paddan-aram—and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר’ (Genesis 33:18). Which Rab interpreted. bodily whole שלם, financially whole שלם, and whole שלם in his learning. and he encamped before the city ויחן את פני העיר Rab said: He instituted coinage for them [in place of barter]. Samuel said: He : He instituted markets for them; R. Johanan said: He instituted baths for them.”
Wow, Jacob instituted coinage in place of barter! Wow, Jacob instituted markets and baths for Shechem! Laban knew well that Jacob brought God’s blessings with him and so did Potiphar knew that Joseph brought God’s blessings with him. Rashi writes that the people of Shechem thought Jacob magnanimous and that Jacob, his wives and children settling in Shechem will benefit their economy.
Rashi on “These people are our friends שלמים; let them settle in the land and move about in it, for the land is large enough for them והארץ הנה רחבת ידים; we will take their daughters to ourselves as wives and give our daughters to them” (Genesis 34:21):
“שלמים This means they come in peace בשלום and with whole heart. For the land is large enough for them, Like a person whose hand is broad, i.e., who is generous and free spending. As if to say, you will lose nothing. Much trade comes here and it has no customers.”
Jews throughout history benefited foreign countries, such as Spain and Portugal. When the foreign country expels Jews, they start to go into poverty.
Thank G-d, we live in blessed times. I sent today a new motion for reargument to the NYS Ct of Appeals. Why not? I like doing it. What’s new with ORA and the K-G heter scandal, Eddie, Yehoshua, etc?
Have you completed one cycle of daf yomi?
ReplyDeleteEddie says “Have you completed one cycle of daf yomi?”
ReplyDeleteEddie please tell us what you know of Rabbi Danny Rich.
See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/23022
“In the UK Jewish community there also what might be called “second degree whitewashers.” They give a declaration of good conduct to JVL or some of its members. One such “once removed whitewasher” is Rabbi Danny Rich, Chief Executive of Liberal Judaism. He is a Labour Councilor and a member of the Jewish Labour Movement. Rich has said that JVL chair, Jenny Manson, is a very decent woman. According to the Jewish Chronicle, Manson has admitted that she only began to identify as a Jew in order to argue against the State of Israel. Rich furthermore gave the job of a tour leader to Israel to a woman who had participated in the public Kaddish in London for Palestinians including many Hamas operatives killed by the IDF. Several JVL supporters are well-known long term anti-Israel inciters.”
Eddie, are you Danny Rich? Are you a Jewish whitewasher of Labour anti-Semitism?
sorry pal, keep guessing
ReplyDeleteactually, I met him at University, but I was orthodox and he was reform, so I was not too entertained by his views.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I do not support these crazy dogs who say "kaddish" for amalek/pilishtim. what makes you think I am one of those?
Haven't you read my debate with Berel, who attacks the Tzaddik Rav Kook? I follow rav Kook, and his son, rav Tzvi Yehuda. What indications do you have that I am anti-zionist? quite the opposite, berel and his his Hamas friends are the enemies of israel, they wear Palestine keffiyas round their necks, and they put the right over the left in a queer transvestite fashion.
How is Ariel , btw? lovely;y University :) Oh, berel will hate you twice, 1) for going to University, 20 for it being in liberated 3 oaths West bank.
Berel says kaddish for the fallen hamas terrorists, not me.
manson, is that Charles manson? Gerald are you Charles (chaim) manson?

“I can best support the theories based on New York, where I live and advise multiple campaigns on all levels. I heard multiple times, "You can vote for Donald Trump, but vote for Democrats for everything else. Jews voted for Governor Cuomo, Senator Gillibrand and the rest of the statewide candidates. They overwhelmingly voted to keep a Democratic Assembly and overturned a State Senate, which now has a Democratic majority. Republican judges on local levels lost. Long term incumbents, whose records show them supporting our needs, lost… Everyone, including paid political consultants and strategists tell me, "All non-religious Jews vote Democratic, all Orthodox Jews vote Republican." Really, in New York, the Orthodox communities of Queens and Brooklyn, the Five Towns, Great Neck and the areas surrounding Suffern, like Monsey, all have for the most part, Democratic representatives. Yes, they all stand in our shuls, our yeshivas and with organization leaders at events, but do they call out the classrooms teaching hateful propaganda, do they stop the discrimination in public jobs, or do they publicly call out CAIR, Linda Sarsour or any other public Israel hater? Moslems, Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks are voting in record numbers for Republicans. Why aren't Jews?”
Rabbi Eidensohn, how did Boro Park people vote? Do have a theory to explain that Moslems, Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks are voting in record numbers for Republicans and not Jews? My theory is that too many Jews are in the hate Trump camp, while many many Moslems, Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks are in the love Trump camp. I’m a Trump and Netanyahu supporter. Bravo, no early elections in Israel!
Do you agree with bibi on Gaza? The cost of a useless war is economically prohibitive.

ReplyDelete“Esau ran to greet him. He embraced him and, falling on his neck, he kissed him; and they wept.” (Genesis 33:4). The words “he kissed him” has dots over וישקהו. Midrash ולמה נקוד, מלמד שלא בקש לנשקו אלא לנשכו
Dots mean that the opposite is intended. This is like Trump blessing Nany Perlosi etc.

“I believe that president Obama’s Iran nuclear agreement was a betrayal of all American and Jewish values, seeing as it rewarded a murderous government with $150 billion while they promised to slaughter more than six million Jews… She pushes her father, the most powerful man on earth, to recognize the Jewish people’s eternal capital in Jerusalem. She urges her father to remove the United States from the Iran Nuclear Agreement, since Iran seeks “Death to America” and is planning to build bombs to enact a second Holocaust, which they promise proudly. Her father appoints an ambassador to the UN who finally makes it clear to that amoral world body that they had better stop bullying Israel or they’ll alienate the United States. And then that same woman proudly keeps the Jewish religion as, arguably, the first Orthodox senior female adviser to a president of the United States in American history. And what is her reward from the community she joined? Threats of excommunication… And so are the citizens of Israel, where Trump enjoys an 80% approval rating. That does not mean Trump has been perfect on Jewish issues, especially on Charlottesville. But it does mean that his Jewish opponents, even if they won’t give him any credit, have to stop calling him Hitler and demonizing his family. It’s disgusting. It’s vile. And it has to stop.”
Trump and Netanyahu are doing so much good for Israel, thank G-d.

I’m attacking NYS judges. I support Trump and Netanyahu. I agree with Trump “It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an ‘independent judiciary,’ but if it is why are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking,” the tweets said.
