another pshat is when moshe said ???? ?? ????? in parshas ki sisa, hashem said that the tenai of a tzaddik is mekuyam even when there is no tenai lemayseh. so the next week came, parshas vayakhel, and hashem said ‘not right now’, so he postponed it. then each week he kept pushing off the task of erasing moshe’s name. finallyy by the last week before he came full circle, was parshas tetzave, so he had no choice and erased his name in that last parsha.

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

but was the cow wearing tzitzis or was it a telshe cow?

😉

i think bepashtus that a short concise and powerful shiur is the best formula & method for an audience to remember the shiur. and that’s what hashem did, but condensing the 613 mitzvos down to 10. he kept it short, concise and powerful, and is now forever inbeded into the jewish memorybank.

wolfishmusings – i believe there is a gemara that deals with that issue, of whether moshe recived all 613 mitzvos with the entire torah as we know it, or he received it part by part as time went on.

israeli politics. a little more interesting than our canadian politics, eh? lol

sorry mammele for your bad run in with those french racists. however you are pointing out one execeptional instance and generalizing. i have lived here in mtl all my life and NEVER experienced any anti-semitism. i have had antisemetic comments thrown at me twice however, in manhattan, and when i lived in europe for 2 years. i cannot think of any instance of an offensive remark, or confrontation in the streets in mtl. mtl as a city is much different than quebec as a whole, as it is a city that is multi-cultural, and has a wide variety of different ethnic groups, more than almost any city in the world. it is very tolerant, and it is the real french quebecers who are constantly battling and struggling for the province to retain its own identity and original french culture. that is what bill 101 is all about. that despite all the multi-ethnic peoples that moved here, they are fighting to try to maintain the province’s uniqueness and french as the main language.

i have worked with french quebecors and with other goyim (from ontario, ny, and chinese) for many years and found the french quebecers to be the most easiest people to deal with from them all.

Ich bin ein Berliner – you are talking narishkeit and shtussim and lies!!

first of all, the past 2 years NY had worse winters than montreal. Our winter does have hash weather for perhaps 1-2 weeks, then it gets very very bearable. cold but not insane. The past few years we had MAYBE 1 or 2 snowfalls in December. January and February are usually the coldest months, March already is really not so bad either. Our fall and spring can be anything from hot and sunny to wind and rain. summers in montreal are beautiful as it doesn not get so humid as say lakewood or brooklyn. we have had lots of days this past summer where it reached well into the 90’s. so to say winter in mtl lasts for 9 months is a statement made out of insanity, ignorance or both.

secondly, it is a very vibrant, close-nit community that has a very strong european flavor. everyone knows everyone pretty much, and as any other community that has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of course is the achdus and warmth (eg: everyone wishes everyone Good Shabbos). Disadvantage is yes it could be very yentish, everyone talking about evryone.

all in all,imo, it’s a type of kehilla more people would hope to live in than not. (unless you’re a cold, bitter hermit)

3) yes the french cause problems, but tell me pray which city doesn’t have it’s french, shvartzahs, or other goyish troublemakers? Besides it’s NOT palpable. i have never had ONE incident of anti-semitism ever. as long as you are polite and speak in french and show you are nice, you don’t have any problems.

4) “The local hechsherim, are unfortunately sub-par by american standards,” bla bla bla, i don’t know from which garbage dump you picked up those lies…

5) several rabbeim in the yeshiva today are former talmidim of that yeshiva…

talk about ignorance, motzee shem rah, motzee laz, and sheker all in one post! i expect an apology from u, Ich bin ein Berliner…

i start a new thread with a fantastic topic, and a great conversation peice to lead the way, and all of a sudden my thread is hijacked by trolls…*shudder*

went skiing and spent quality time with my kids. Other than that, I had a regular schedule of Daf Yomi (morning) and Night Seder (evening). Of course I enjoyed driving through the empty streets around the neighbourhood. I must say, that everyone is so cheery and in a happy mood, that when I went shopping at the super market, everyone (the Goyim) was either humming a tune, singing, and wishing each other well. It’s a very positive, happy and enjoyable atmosphere wherever I go (especially in contrast to the 2nd and 3rd week of January) and it makes my outing that much more pleasant.

Is this wrong??

She saw the Seer see saucy sushi seeds sing Shivisi flawlesly.
