    Let’s not forget the famous saying, “Those who don’t believe any chassidishe ma’asos are kofrim, but those who believe all them are idiots.”

    Oomis: Thanks for your personal opinion on the complex halachic matter of what constitutes a rodef. I’ll write an angry letter to the Rambam (Rotzech U’shmiras Hanefesh 1:5-6) that he’s wrong.

    Both meaning son? Isn’t one “son” and one “son of”? I believe it’s the same thing with kol and kol, one with a kamatz and one with a cholem.

    Let’s not forget the 90, which is the only way to places like the Dead Sea, Ein Gedi, Masada, Eilat, etc. (and can also get you all the way to Tveryah and Tsfas). It is one lane, it has no lighting most of the way, and it winds its way through dangerous curves with almost no visibility at night or in a fog.

    Why can’t you have a different browser on a mobile device? Unless your IP address was blocked, in which case you could use a proxy (even on a mobile device).

    If I’m only playing chords it’s not that hard to talk. I find it a lot harder when I’m also playing lead. People think I’m being rude because I won’t answer their questions, but really I just can’t speak when I play (and I also I’m being rude).

    Speaking of derech chiba, this is what the Rambam says in Yesodei HaTorah 5:8.

    The Rambam in Hilchos Teshuvah 1:2 says (talking about the times of the Beis Hamikdash) ??? ????? ?? ??? ??? ???? ?? ??? ????? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ?????

    Whether it was known to him or unknown to him, everything is atoned for with the goat of Azazel, provided he did Teshuvah.

    This would imply that Teshuva must be done even if individual who committed the aveiros never found out about them.

    The Torah that Hashem told him to write? Also, I meant at the time of the incident. Good one though!

    Everyone else, before making sarcastic comments, go look at the passuk and then call your first-grade teacher and yell at her for being uneducated.

    Very nice piece. IIRC R’ Gedalya Schorr has a piece in Ohr Gedalyahu about Chanukah which mentions this concept too.

    First of all, don’t compare grammar you learned in Chumash to a Gemara, though in this case you happen to be right. Also, what I said was going on your previous post, where you wrote that

    That can be interpreted two ways, my friend. It can just as easily be understood as “theylit from it (that one tiny oil) for a period that lasted 8 days. That’s what’s great about Torah – so many facets, and each one is worthy of knowing.

    Also, there is room for no schools of thought. We can’t decide for ourselves which of the nissim was bigger than the other. The Rambam devotes a full halacha to each one.

    Also no one would open a thread entitled ‘correction for a popular misconception’. I didn’t either call it The Minhag Violation Song, because no one would have watched it.

    Thank you, Bookworm120 and WIY. I’m not saying anything radical here; I’m just taking issue with the popular phrase that the oil “burned for eight days straight”.

    The words ????? ???? are going back on ??????? ????. According to your interpretation, it should have said something like ??????? ???? ????? ????? ????.

    The biggest miracle was the national one, where an army the size of a peanut, defeated an army the size of an elephant.

    Sorry, but what in the world gives you a right to say which miracle was bigger? The Gemara doesn’t even mention the miracle of the war when it asks the famous “Maiy Chanukah”.

    Syag – I belive it says that nevuah was given to shotim?

    Daas – I know, I can read too. I was pointing out that what Syag said was questionable as well. And making someone feel better about themselves is not a reason to say borderline apikursus.

    The Gemara in Shabbos 21b says ??????? ???? ????? ????. I believe this means that they lit from it for eight days.

    Whether you learn that they conserved the oil and only used 1/8 of their supply every day or whether you learn that they used the full amount on the first day but it did not get used up, I believe it is quite clear from the Gemara that they lit every day for all eight days, which leads me to logically conclude that it did not, in fact, burn for eight days straight.

    I don’t think Popa is being too harsh at all.

    Syag said that “Hashem is not punishing you for making fun of disabled people.”

    How can anyone proclaim to know what God is or isn’t doing? There’s a very real thing in this world called schar v’onesh. It’s the eleventh Ani Ma’amin.

    Funny how a Bais Yaakov has to clarify that it’s for girls only.

    But then again, there’s a reason they clarify that it’s the Yeshiva Boys Choir.

    It’s like otherwise you wouldn’t know.

    Syag – Just had one last week in-store. Hot caramel was dripping down my fingers, mmm mmm mmm.

    I was actually there with a friend who asked the guy behind the counter if they had any *gasp* jelly donuts. The guy gave us a dirty look and muttered, “Sufganiyot Uri? Riva? …”

    Think about it this way. If there is a mitzvah to light the Menorah in the Beis Hamikdosh every day, what would it help if the oil would just burn straight for eight days?

    I beg to differ. Have a hot caramel donut from Pizza Uri in Beis Yisrael.
