    Last week I posted a link to an article about how Israeli scientists are close to coming up with an error free version of Tanach.

    It’s common knowledge that there are different Geersaos that exist from different communities. What these scientists are doing is finding the one that matches the most exact record.

    This isn’t biblical revisionism, it’s the exact opposite.

    Can anyone explain why this was taken away?

    Because we don’t allow outside links.

    The article had an outside link. Here at the Yeshiva World News Coffee Room, outside links are not tolerated and will be prosecuted by the full extent of the law under the Moderators.

    1. “An error free version” implies that what we have has errors, and that is incorrect.

    2. “Scientist” have no authority in Torah.

    3. Our mesora is %100 correct, that’s what mesora is.

    4. The “matchs most exact record is meaningless”

    5. Chasairos V’Yesairos are not different girsaos.

    The list goes on…

    It is obvious from Gemara and Rashi that they had some differences. Sfardim, Teimanim and Ashkenazim have some differences, too. However, we would never change a Sefer on the basis of a research.

    Also, although our Sefer has a ‘Succah’ with the Vav, we still Pasken like the Gemara that learns from the fact that the word does not have a Vav.

    The idea is that it is Behashgacha that it turned out this way and we look at both as correct.

    Mods please explain why both threads on books to read were deleted. One is entitled ‘books’ and the other ‘good novels’. Both were innocent, harmless and fun. Thank you.

    the publishers threatened a lawsuit

    “the publishers threatened a lawsuit”

    A lawsuit for free positive publicity?

    Ok, I made it up. -95

    Nu, so then please reopen the good novels thread

    I didn’t close it. I won’t undo what another mod did for reasons I don’t know.

    I am suprised that mods do not document or keep notes on what they do where other mods and editors can see so they can refer to it when the first mod is off duty. Anyway, what is the appeals procedure?

    Now what’s the appeal process besides the subtle bribery?
