1) Four questions correspond to four kids. I saw some unattributed connections, would appreciate y your insights on that
2) We answer differently to different ones. Can we see it in the agada beyond the “4 sons”? For example, 2 beginnings of Haggadah – do they answer different questions, where are another 2?
3) Pesachim goes into a lot of things hat cause mazikin, such as pairs of drinks, then allows some. Is the 5th cup connected with the idea of not having even number of cups? How much is that response to Persian ideas? Do we have as many mazikin in Yerushalmi?
4) Is it sufficient for kids to tell stories, or should they davka be asking questions. In Gemora, when a kid asked any question related to the seder, the father says – “now, we can start”. Would this work, if the kid _tells_ a story?
Them Maasei Hahem ties the four questiions to the four children. There are four categories. something more or extra, something less or somerhing different found by the kashrus of the lung. The chacham asks on ostentatiousness over doing, like the dunking twice, the rasha on the lack of chametz and the tam on something being different than usual like the morar. The sheaino yodea lishol might also wonder about and recognize, maybe, the emphasis on haughtiness, gaiva as reclining which we avoid the whole year.
3) :עיין גמ’ פסחים קט
The fifth cup according to the GRA. is based on the safek of the four expressions of redemption which are permanent but vehevesi was only temporary which Eliyahu Hanovi will resolve, therefore being called the kos of Eliyahu.
We weaken the tooth of the rasha. The Taamei Haminhagim says that Kiddush Levanah helps for tooth ache. What is the connection? Maybe, when we remove shinov (366) from rasha (570) we are left with tzadik (204). It says in Kiddush Levanah, לא יוכלו אובי לנגוע בי לרעה my enemies including the yetzer hara should not able to cause harm towards me. We are saying, let the zechus of Kiddush Levanah resist the above operation of weakening the teeth to become a tzadik. The rasha is questioning milah for korban pesach as he was not born with it, so we tell him that you weren’t born with your teeth either.
I am on my own as my wife passed away around eleven years ago and my children are married away from home. I am happy to be invited after more than ten days after my J & J vaccination. In ho lachmo anyo we invite people in our house but the door is closed. The Binah Leitim explains that we want to make our guests feel good by telling them that we were in the same boat like you are. We also came from poverty as our guest. It says ויסב אלקים דרך המדבר ים סוף Hashem sent us in a round about way through the desert, so the midrash says מכאן שאפילו עני שבישראל לא יאכל עד שיסב, we see from here that even a poor person from among the Jews should not eat until reclining. The question is that yasev is used with two different meaning? They answer that when Hashem led the Jews, they had nothing and had to completely rely on Him. Similarly, the poor person can trust Hashem that he will be helped and sit reclined.
Rav – first cup is separate
I don’t have that in my gemara
Rambam had it
He says it’s not a chov like the first 4, and he doesn’t say to drink it.
contrary to some CR residents, Gemorah is not ending it with “well, surely Tannaim knew daas Torah, so let’s not ask the question”
Contrary to some cr residents, the gemara doesn’t contemplate that maybe the Tannaim made a mistake.
another possibility: Tannaim did not care about the pairs, but Amoraim did in part through their contact with Persians.
The Amoraim obviously didn’t feel that way or they wouldn’t have asked the kashya.
Pretty sure that comment of yours is kefirah. It’s definitely really stupid.
Or maybe you’re way past your fourth cup…
Which Maharal, the fifth cup mentioned in the hagadah put out by a forger?
Pairs, zugos, violates the uniqueness and truth of Hashem not to have a beis din shakel and applies to anything which refers to creation, eaten unprocessed. Adam Harishan sacrificed a unicorn, unique horn, to demonstrate that Hashem is Unique.
The Midrash Shmuel says that the Beis Shamai by its arguments helped the Beis Hilel to see the truth and not having tunnel vision seeing only one side, so they are also praise worthy. This can be the meaning that the Beis Hilel, because of their humility, allowed the Beis Shamai to come first, by hearing their view first.
DY, so you do insist that Maharal is a kofer
Chas v’shalom. Don’t hide your kefirah behind made up Maharals like you tried to disparage Rav by making up a gemara.
AAQ, thanks for the Maharal. Rebbi Yochanan questioned Rebbi Elozor for bringing proof to his words whereas Resh Lokish would question his words. He said, if I say it, I know I am right, so it will not expand our knowledge whereas a give take by questioning makes us more knowledgeable. The Taz in SA O’CH Siman 47 explains on birchas hatorah to be a business transaction, laasok bedivrei torah. Maybe, the Yerushalmi questions less because it relies more on deeds as the Ramban on Edim Zomimim where we don’t apply it when the witnesses got killed. Hashem would not have allowed the beis din to make a mistake like that and therefore the first witnesses must be correct. The air in EY makes us smarter, therefore our actions are more important to rely on.
As a robber, Resh Lakish had to stand up to people. Maybe, similarly, he stood up towards Rebbi Yochanan when he believed he was right. Rebbi Elozor could not contradict Rebbi Yochanan being his rebbi but Resh Lakish saw him as his friend.
AAQ, the way I unterstand it that R Steinzaltz published some questionable books before he became a baal teshuva. How did he undo that? Ksov shenichtav bashem hamelech ein lehashiv.
