It means warp and weft.
Daas yochid, why do these “jokes” happen to come in only at the mention of a(n incomplete) Maase?
Another burning question I have about this famous disclaimer is that somehow it became so important to invoke it and remember that not EVERY SINGLE story is accurate, while the part about accepting in a general sense is completely gone. Why are people adamant that it could have happened but refuse to accept that it did.
Is that the end of the story?
Another question on Vayechi is that we find that Yaakov’s Brachos reflected on Yehoshua, Shimshon and Dovid. Why is Moshe Rabbeinu left out? Shimon and Levi share one comment and Moshe Rabbeinu of Shevet Levi is not hinted or alluded to!
I didn’t see the article. I hope it’s taken out of context.

But you ask for it during your own lifetime, in Hallel.
Clearly we are not pronouncing them the way they were meant to be. The Gemara says that someone whose Ayin sounds like his Aleph cannot Daven by the Amud. Who are we left with?
The Teimanim are probably the closest to the original but it’s hard to tell. Although we can pronounce many consonants and vowels that our neighbors cannot, it was not always this way, especially after many generations. And without realizing it, American English affects our pronunciations, too.
Speaking a language shapes your mouth. Every language utilize the mouth muscles in a different way. The Hungarian and Upper German squaring of the jaw while pronouncing OO ends up sounding like EE to us. Once a generation is brought up not being able to pronounce proper Ü it merged with the EE.
So you were a pigeon before becoming a frog!? You’re going in the wrong direction.
The Reish also can have a Dagesh and it is anyone’s guess what it is supposed to mean. The Samach and Sin are interchangeable, wwhich mean that they were meant to sound alike. The Tes and Tav don’t change. Perhaps there’s a difference there, too.
The Vav is only W at the beginning of a word when it is a Melupum. It is most probably the Veis that was changed. It was like the Spanish soft B, like blowing through a B sound.
Quf and Caf aren’t either the same. It seems like the Quf was similar to the C, while both went different directions through the years. We pronounce Ocean with a Sh sound but the Gemara spells it Uqyanus. Ceaser is Qaser. Most probably the Quf was like the second C in concerto, but from the back of the mouth and not the way we pronounce Ch.
Popa, that’s an ineresting point.
As an operational country, South Africa is not better off now, or safer. But he successfuly terminated a wrong treatment.
I think he, or any African, would be the last to call anything Apartheid. He wouldn’t want to dilute the concept, much as many Jews can’t stand when holocaust and and h$%ler are invoked freely into politics and animal rights.
It’s for decimals.
But actually it is for walking. It is the toes that propel you forward. Otherwise you would be shifting from side to side like a pigeon.
And how did the (what we call) Veis get the sound of a Vav?
So that they should see the light?
Frogs teach Torah. Chananya Mishael and Azarya learned from them.
Ein Ish Som Al Lev
I never use two hands for harmonica. You use two hands when you want the waw waw effect.
Sometimes your clothing rubs against itself which can feel like a small vibration. A phone vibrating has, or should have, a pattern. I wait for the pattern before looking, and eventually, before becoming aware of it.
Although the harmonica is played with only one hand (or none, on some occasions) I find it more difficult to talk while doing the draw notes.
But when you are doing chords you are already putting one part into automatic and juggling conscious focus.
Back to random facts: I forgot what each color band on the resistor stands for. Can anyone remind me?
Oh, sorry. How can I read a text while bungee jumping?
Yeah, but it’s a slippery slope. Today they correct the title and tomorrow there’s rioting in the streets.
Not getting into details is one thing, but we shouldn’t distort the picture either.
The worst is Humpty Dumpty. After hearing that, I was so taken apart that all the kings horses…
You can talk about it in the general sense from very young without getting into details, just like we tell them about Mitzrayim and the Churban. As they grow they can hear or read more about it.
We are never really “ready” for the holocaust, so it will never be comfortable and it never was.
The way to check is if the [closed] is part of the link. When the mods do it, it is not part of the link.
We learn from Pesukim that Pikuach Nefesh is Doche. It is not because we decided that it is worth it.
Gam, good point. I’ll have to try that. Using two hands, though, takes more concentration. But for the duration of the sentence I’m sure it can be done. My keyboard is not working currently so I can’t try it out that soon.
The Issur of Kishuf is not the Issur of Avoda Zara.
The old mailing system doesn’t really work anymore. “The children are waiting for you” doesn’t move people to respond promptly anymore. It is just another envelope among many others. Instead of closing down and giving up, Tzedaka organizations hired marketing companies who arranged, for a hefty price, some expensive event that hopefully brings back more than they’ve spent.
Should the marketing company, entertainer or hall do it for free? Obviously not, since this is a big chunk of their business. If they do it for free, however, that is no-doubt Tzeddaka. If you pay for it, that is Tzeddaka as well.
So a creep is someone who reads a thread with the intention of identifying someone. So what’s a stalker? While we’re at it, what’s a troll. I think YW CR posters have their own definitions of these terms, so it’s worth getting to knoww them.
And HaLeiVi is like the Malachim who said, Mah Enosh. I don’t get this never ending fascination.
Why did you wait until Efraim to ask this? Anyhow, don’t we all have the transcript of the president’s speech before he gives it?
If you prepare the sentence before saying it, then you can say it by rote with the rythm.
Many people have a generally pareve meal while the Baal Bris has some Fleishigs.
Isn’t it tangent^10×23? (I just added another one but it gets rounded down.)
I thought the sycopathic answer would be that although she never spoke to him and nobody knew who he is, he told her to do it.
DY is merely saying that although their intention is pretty obvious, as PBA is arguing, they have a side benefit of, in some instances, garnering the “business” for themselves.
DY, having said that, when you mix into an argument in order to bring up a parenthetical, tangential point, you deserve all misdirected critisism.
Bring an Asham.
Nobody could. The difference is who buys it.
DY, that is an overly idealistic, unrealistic answer. Is this really less than Davar Meguna?
Sure it’s a problem. And that’s exactly why it is kept a secret.
This past summer my dreidel collapsed on the highway.
So what’s the secret behind Derech Hamelech’s myserious marriage?
I really don’t get the problem with helping to pay for a fund raising event. If all the money would go to the Tzeddaka that means that the event was donated. Was the donor giving Tzeddaka or paying for a hall, music and food?
The only difference would be Syag’s comment. So we have no opinions. We type with our knees. This issue has been brought up time and again. Sometimes it is about Kupat Ha’ir, the big bad, and sometimes it is more general. My answer is the same all the time. Do you think insulting 10 people is a more worthy cause than responding to 1? This last question applies to not only this conversation.
Tzeddaka has advertizing costs. Is it not supposed to be payed off? Do you really knock on the doors of Tzeddakos and beg them to take money?
That’s not a recent phenomenon.

It’s when it gives you the wrong vibes.
She’s right.. Nashim Baos Lishmoa. They have a right to hear real Torah.
