Farina isn’t that great.
I don’t think that would make sense.
I wonder where it’s brought out that it’s diagonal. Especially since pretty much all the archaeology shows the menorahs curved. Did all of bnei yisroel throughout those times err that the menorah had curved branches? Or were they really just drawing out different menorahs and not the main one? Its interesting to know where the source for the branches of the menorah is from.
So does the illustration come to teach us something after all? For example the branches being straight and not curved?
But what about regarding the branches. Was that for illustration purpose or to show that the branches were straight and not curved as his son stated?
I heard that he wrote a note that it was for visual purpose only. Also in the sketch aren’t the branches all on different levels? If we learn out that the menorah was straight branches from the sketch do we also learn that the branches aren’t supposed to be even height? Or do we pick what’s for visual purpose and whats for learning purpose?
Btw does anyone know where to find the source where the Rambam wrote that the menorah he sketched is for illustration purpose only?
Every year there are menorahs being vandalized. It obviously attracts the wrong type of attention. Yes it’s nice to see a menorah and be reminded of the holiday, but sometimes I cringe when I see them out everywhere wondering what type of attention it’s drawing, like in your face we will put this menorah because we are Jews showing our might.
I don’t think I would mind just settling for the non Jewish decorations since we aren’t in a Jewish land, true that some people both Jews and non Jews may get inspired by menorah, but on the other hand I feel it also stirs up hatred. As it is most people think Hanukah is just a way of countering Xmas for Jews to feel better about not having a “major” holiday. Does putting up menorahs prove otherwise? Maybe idk.
At this point in time we are always making headlines and I don’t understand why many feel the need for that. Also I don’t understand why many Jews feel such a need to fight and show they are anti vax, (even if justified) but now media and people label Jews as antivaxxers and spreading disease. Aren’t we as Jews supposed to keep our opinions in the community and to ourselves? Remember the overzealous biryonim of beitar? Do we not learn from our own history?
Always-“RW, why are you participating in a discussion at all? You pretty much imply first that your antibody levels are high, and then you seem to admit that you didn’t bother measuring them. So you seem to suggest that people behave carelessly under assumption that they are safe. This is exactly the upcoming danger.”
-I didnt imply anything so im not sure where you get that from. In general people have strong high antibodies even 18 months later, and yes they checked. Being careless is wearing a mask which has been proven not to work unless maybe its an N95 which almost noone wears, while taking a never ending amount of vaccines. They programmed you to care about others so much that you dont even take into account what damage you might be doing to yourself.
Whatever the levels are they are typically as much or higher than those vaccinated and are lasting much longer. Anyway as long as there are antibodies the body has a memory to fight against viruses.
Why do those with antibodies from 18 or 6 months ago at risk If they still have antibodies? Oh right the media said so therefore you are just parroting it over to us. Ok thanks for the heads up.
The great fauci now says 3 shots should be standard. So I’m guessing a 4th shot coming soon as a booster?
I personally think that boosters should be taken daily. Especially if they come up with new untested boosters every week. The less tested and the more boosters the better. I’m not even being sarcastic.
Ujm tell that to the New World Order and their followers
True few years back got Canon 16 megapixel Refurb for $15 directly from canon. It was pretty much brand new and in the box. Great deal.
Also, ya smartphone cameras have come a long way since and even at that time the smartphone cameras were probably better. But the pics on this Canon are definitely sufficient. The point and shoot cameras are pretty much obsolete nowadays unfortunately, I like using things that are dedicated to one specific function but its difficult to justify buying one when you have a better camera included in your phone.You can try ebay though many Canon Elph models for around your price range
Ujm”Is your point that we must respect, love and be happy with Reform and Conservative Yidden?”
It’s a valid point. True they are on what we would consider the wrong path and mindset, but if they truly are Jews since there are so many who falsely claim to be Jewish and join since they accept all types, then I guess we still should respect them as Yidden because that’s what they are. I mean does achdus only apply to orthodox or to those Jews who we consider to be on the right path as we see it?
In a way I feel that the reform and conservative have more achdus than we have in the frum communities where we are so judgmental, taught to be judgemental and stick our nose into others business, and look down upon anyone who we think isn’t on our level. Usually conservative”Rabbis” are very enthusiastic to meet other Yidden. But again I obviously all sides aren’t perfect.
Ymribiat”Those types of registries are handy references for Natzi’s, mullahs, and LDS”
That was always what came to mind whenever I hear of shul membership lists and the like. Since that’s what was used to round up Jews in the past. The difference is though that nowaDays they don’t really need lists since the government, Google, and every app you sign up for know everything about everyone including all document numbers and photos. But it’s just the thought that makes it uncomfortable.
Most of what you are saying is not exactly black and white but why are you bringing up this topic just to start up strife and sinas chinam as usual? Nobody cares everyone can believe what they want and everyone does what they believe. You are only bringing up this topic to try to prove that everyone is against you. Move on. And the mods better just close this troll topic to avoid songs chinam from all sides. Enough trying to prove others right or wrong.
Because it is Friday
Who is UJM?
