Kashas on the Parsha

Cham had EY even though Hashem promised it to Shem. Cham built the land and it was named Canaan after one son. Had Canaan observed the 7 Noach mitzvos he would have been able to stay.

Mbachur

Nu did it help?

Not really on this weeks Parsha but I heard it this week

?? ??? ?????? ?? ???? ??? ????

We do not see that Avrohom Avinu should express any

feeling over Hagar’s exile.

2 really belongs in another thread but I’M lazy

A good one!! The Ansvei Sdom were “frumies”

They were wicked with the excuse that were acting L’Shem Hashe????? ???? ???? ??????, ??’ ???

With regard to Tumtum, Tosafos in Yevamos 64, I think, says that obviously that was resolved by the time they were married. The point is more that anyone that was that way can’t have or is unlikely to have children. As far as Ailoness goes, perhaps it is still possible to have a cycle with out being fully equipped.

While I consider the first Kasha answered, the second one is definitely a hard one. It was an attempt, not definitive. Anyhow, not necessarily does it have to mean that there was nothing at all. It could be refering to essential parts.

I’m considering Tumtum as one Kasha (not anymore) and Aylonis as a second.

chad pami, chada m’turetz b’chaverta. Hashem said not to be worried about Hagar, so Avraham was not worried. Hashem also said not to be worried about Yishmael, but he was anyway, which is a lesson in chinuch bonim.

Why should he be worried about an adult? It was bad in his eyes to send out his son. Hagar was Sara’s maid

WIY, so if somebody is ugly and asks to make a shidduch, you tell him he is ugly? If he has a low IQ, you tell him he is stupid? Just stating the facts??? Why not say, I don’t think it will work out.

When Chazal say what he answered it is not a quote, it is his reason and therefore the root of any response he said no matter how he said it. He might have told him, I love you very much and you’re a great guy, but there is a certain Yichus problem which is not your fault at all.

Chazal aren’t telling stories, they are teaching Torah. Often you’ll find different depictions from different places in Chazal. In the Medrash you can see more to the conversation that Reb Yochanan Ben Zakay had with Vespasian, than what the Gemara mentions. It is not a contradiction of the facts, it is merely a difference of depiction. Each one is pointing out the important facts.

If we would read about our time in Chazal, we would also be surprised at what is left out. As the Maharal often explains, what we see in the Gemara is Chazal’s perspective of what is important and noteworthy.

It may be that Avaraham Avinu said those words exactly, and it can also be that he didn’t even mention those words at all. Chazal are telling us what his answer was, in essence.

To further explain this concept, if I were to tell you that a fence tells you not to enter, even if it is very simple to step over it, you wouldn’t ask, ‘but a fence can’t talk!’ Actually, a fence can talk, albeit it can only say one thing. It also does not have a choice to say it or not. Often, something is considered said, when actions are what spoke it.

Nobody listened in to the conversation of Avraham and Eliezer. Chazal knew what the reason is that he didn’t want to be Meshaddech with him. Chazal also Darshened from the Pesukim that Eliezer hinted that he would want to be Meshaddech. The answer is implicit in Avraham Avinu’s actions. Eliezer might have understood himself or he might have not. If the latter was the case, then Avraham Avinu answered him, surely in a nice way.

By the way, it says that after this Shlichus, Eliezer’s status was changed to Baruch. So it definitely wasn’t a personal insult. It was a Yichus issue. We find in the Gemara an instance where a Talmud did not want to marry his Rebbe’s daughter because he felt that his Yichus is better.

Did any one see a ????? ????????????

Machlokes Rashi and the Rambam?

Or else (warning: possible heresy alert) possibly the Rambam was just wrong on that fact — especially in light of what is now known.

????? ???? ??????

Rashi in Vayigash explains how we arrive at the 70 people who were in ????? with ????. He says there were 66 counted in the ??????, and ???? was born on arriving there making 67, and ???? and his 2 sons makes 70.

What about ????’s wife ???? who, ??”? say was the daughter of ????? We mention ???? herself and also ????’s other granddaughter ??? ?? ???. So why not ????. And dont say that ??”? is not bringing ???? because he says that the ?????’s twin sisters had all died, so he is including ????. The only guess is that she may have also died.

Does anyone have a solution or has anyone seen this anywhere?

Shtickey, the Ramban there points to the Pasuk that says explicitly that the count is besides for their wives.

Rashi asks about the Te’umos and answers that the Te’umos must have died. Rashi obviously learned in the words, ???? ??? ??? ????, that we are not counting the wives they got from the local population. Therefore, the Te’umos should be counted. Yosef, however, did not get sold along with a Te’uma, and perhaps Rashi is going with the Medrash that Asnat was Potifars daughter, or as you said, she died, too.
