20 Questions�Round 2!

You could argue that Chevron is not Meoros HaMachpila so we never bought it. I wrote that because I was thinking of the fact that I once heard someone say that there are 3 places that are clearly ours and those 3 places are davka places that the Arabs claim are not ours.

One of those places was Meoras Hamachpeila. It is clearly ours because it says in the Torah that Avraham Avinu paid for it.

Again, that is Meoras Hamachpeila, not Chevron, but I was thinking of the fact that Chevron is contested territory and that’s the proof that it is ours.

In any case, this is a “yes” or “no” game, so any additional information is just an extra clue. The correct answer was still “no” because we are not buying it now.

Sparkly – I don’t know if you saw – I asked you if it’s living

Sparkly – I asked if it’s living, not if you can see it.

So, 1. Can you see it?

That last post was written a few posts ago. Moving forward, 2. Is it alive?

Sparkly – I asked if it’s living, not if you can see it.

So, 1. Can you see it?

Whoops! Correction – I meant: 1. Is it alive?

29- “That last post was written a few posts ago.”

I had been referring to the fact that this post:

“You could argue that Chevron is not Meoros HaMachpila so we never bought it. I wrote that because I was thinking of the fact that I once heard someone say that there are 3 places that are clearly ours and those 3 places are davka places that the Arabs claim are not ours.

One of those places was Meoras Hamachpeila. It is clearly ours because it says in the Torah that Avraham Avinu paid for it.

was written before I saw this: Yes, but we weren’t talking about maaras hamachpeila…

All I was trying to say was that I answered your question before I saw it!

“Correct, my post got lost, I was saying that the answer is yes, people still buy property in Chevron, thereby owning land there.”

As I pointed out before, there is a difference between “land in Chevron” and the city of Chevron. I don’t have to pay money to walk around Chevron.

So Sparky, 1. Is it alive?

“Correct, you do not need to pay to walk around but people do buy it to use it. Ah, I see, you were answering that people don’t NEED to buy it top use it. Oh boy, so much gets lost in the written word.”

Now I really lost you – what’s the difference between buying it to use it and needing to buy it to use it?

The only other way you use Chevron is by going to Mearas Hamachpeila or burying your dead there.

So maybe I am right – Avraham Avinu had to buy Mearas Hamachpeila in order to use Chevron – i.e. to bury his dead in Mearas Hamachpeila- but we don’t pay to use Chevron – by visiting Meoras Hamachpeila (which is what most people do in Chevron)

1. Is it alive? no

2. can you see it? it depends. i guess you can.

syag lchochma – yes.

4. Do people go in it?

5. Is it something that is usually used for fun/recreation?

Sparkly, I think what I was asking is: Is fun/recreation its main purpose?

For example, I may find zoos to be boring. but the purpose of a zoo is for people to go for recreation.

On the other hand, I might consider eating in a Sukkah to be fun, but that is not the purpose.

So according to that definition: Is it something whose primary purpose is recreation?

To sum up so far: 1. Is it visible? yes

2. is it alive? no

3.Is it man made? yes

4.Do people go in it? yes.

5.Is it for recreation? no.

QUESTION 6: Is it a type of building?

Is it school?

Sparkly, I think that was a really good idea! The only reason I got it is because you said that you think it’s fun but most people wouldn’t think so. I know enough about you by now to know that could only mean school…. otherwise, I don’t think I ever would have guessed! Or at least it would have taken a really long time!!

lilmod ulelamaid – when did i say i like school? besides for talking about it 24/7?

🙂 that would show that you like it, wouldn’t it?

I don’t remember your exact comments but you’re always talking about how important college is and about how you like learning, etc… maybe you didn’t say it straight out, but it definitely sounded like you like school!

i think the way that we used to play is that whoever won thinks of the next thing.

so lilmod ulelamaid?

I’m game to start again or to let someone else if someone else wants to.

1. Is it something that has ever been alive?

1. Is it something that has ever been alive? really hard to answer, but i think NO

1. Is it something that has ever been alive? really hard to answer, but i think NO

2. Is it something that you can smell? NO

3. Is it man made? hard question, but YES

5. can it fit in the trunk of a standard sized car? (I’m trying for an approximate size range, not an specific measure)
