Reply To: Davening Gemara

Says who? Who decided that is the cutoff line?

Look it up in the MA & SAH

“MT: That’s explicitly wrong. The Poskim say that you put a Gemara on top of a Nach.”

Which poskim are you quoting exactly? nach should not be under a gemara, however there are those who are <i>mekel</i> in certain situations. (Halachically Speaking brings down a whole bunch of maare mekomos)

“I too frequently turn g’mara pages very quickly when chazaring and using an Artscroll which only focuses on several lines of g’mara per page. Havei dan l’caf z’chus…”

1- it wasn’t an artscroll; 2- i was watching himas he progressed down the page, which i knew from his finger moving across every line downward top to bottom and the amount of words being said in between each page turn from blatt to blatt.

“Of all that was said in this thread, I think the above wins the prize for most ignorant statement. Not to mention that it’s nusach sefard.”

That is in no way literal. i thoght it was self-understood that one cannot bring a rayah on his own from the wording of a tefillah much less something like this which isn’t even anywhere near sound and airtight. The point was to make a point of that we ask for understanding and knowledge in Torah explicitly and not to be inspired by the mystical essence of the words as far as i know. If someone knows of an explicit tefillah for such i would be glad to know.
