    feivel: thank you for a wonderful topic like this! looking forward to the rest of this!

    pssst…

    For those who didn’t know which gemoroh “feivel” is referring to, Google is a good place to start your search.

    Hint – it’s somewhat ahead of where the daf is up to.

    (don’t tell him who gave it away)

    Haman’s mother had the same name as Avrohom Avinu’s mother

    Interesting. This may be because Haman was a direct descendant of Avrohom –> Yitzchok –> Esav –> Elifaz –> Amalek.

    P.S. To second what “Jax” said – shkoyach to “feivel” for this thread.

    How would one spell “Tzlaffonis” in english?

    Manoach is the Father of Shimshon (as per RG).

    “Nachshon ben Aminadav”

    yes, this is the same Nachshon who was the first to enter the Yam Suf

    what was his sisters name and whom did she marry?

    tha above was from Bava Basra Daf 91a

    the question of Nachshons sister is from a different Daf.

    Elisheva

    She married Ahron HaKohen

    Rashi comments how important it is to look at the brothers of a potential wife

    an explanation of what jaymatt wrote:

    the Pasuk states:

    And Aaron took Elisheva the daughter of Aminadav, the sister of Nachshon.

    once we know Elisheva is the daughter of Aminadav, we then know she is the sister of Nachshon.

    why did the Pasuk have to state that?

    answer: as jaymatt said.

    this is from Bava Basra Daf 110a (based on the Rashi jaymatt noted)

    the logic is given there, that a woman will raise children in the manner that she (and her brothers) was raised, so that her sons (raised by her) will be similar to her brothers (raised by her parents).

    One of the more interesting Raiyas to a Hashkafic concept is brought about 10 (11) Blatt later on (Tos. with the picture, DH U’Kegon). I would like to hear what Feivel (and the CR in general) thinks about it.

    gavra_at_work-

    I took a quick look at the Toisfos (thanks to e-daf), and I’m not sure which concept you’re referring to.

    He is basically explaining the geometry of a diagonal drawn across opposing points of a rectangle and the area occupied by a 4×6 as opposed to a 5×5.
