WIY-for some reason you are not addressing my issues,so I will try to lay it out simply, and, if you are going to respond, then perhaps respond point by point.
1-Kasuv means “is written”, does it not?-If so, then how does “baruch”, which is the same construct, not mean “is blessed”?-dont tell me that it doesnt, tell me HOW it doesnt.
2-“Barchu” is the command form of the imperfect plural form of a the verb Baruch-either show me that it is NOT the imperfect (future) command plural form of the verb, or, explain to me how commanding a tsibur to Bless is NOT commanding them to give Hashem a blessing.
3-What did Hashem mean when He asked R Yishmoel to bless Him, if He didnt mean to bless Him?-
Perhaps answering the details of the questions might make the answers more understandable.
And, although my response was edited by the editor earlier, with the ideal to “keep the peace”, I dont think you should call another Jew’s thoughts comical or insane. My response was much harsher, but the editor, with wisdom I suppose, edited them out.
