Rambam at the end of Hilchos Talmud Torah rules that a talmid chacham is not allowed to forgo his honour when it is challenged in public - he must pronounce "nidui" (a harsh punishment) on the one who belittled him, because his honour is the honour of the Torah.

Now, what would Rambam rule in a case where the belittler - for whatever reason - was unable to control his speech, and involuntarily blurtted out an insult?

"A fig tree is harvested little by little, each fig in its proper time. The rabbis compare this to Torah study. No one should sit down, learn for hours and say “I’m done!” Torah needs to be studied every day, some days a little and some a lot, and always when one is ripe for that day’s learning."

I’ve missed memorizing larger chunks of the #Bible. Haven’t done any new stories or passages for years. Thinking this will be the year for a new attempt.

The largest segments I’ve memorized are the Sermon on the Mount, Romans 1-8, most of Ephesians, and 31 proverbs. Don’t quiz me though-it’s been many years.

Sul tema #gay #omossesualità e cosa ha detto d-o o chi per lui questo monologo è tra i più belli https://youtu.be/IxQCtIp2kS0 #bibbia #Torah #repressi

This week's #Torah #parsha #kasha: #Eisav was considered a master of "Honour thy Father and thy Mother" - so why did he marry Yehudith and Bosmath, the Knaani girls that so embittered his parents? Eisav only took his parents wishes into account after the #struggle over the #brachos was over, when #Yaakov had already fled to Padan Aram. Only THEN did he marry Mohalath, #Yishmael's sister.

If Eisav was such a groise mechabed av, why didn't he take his parent's wishes into account from the get go?

#Intro: I am the #parent of two teens, married to a doctor, live in #sandiego, work as #softwaredev at #illumina in #bioinformatics. I play #viola & #violin #classicalmusic like on a semipro level, help run the SoCal Chamber Music workshop for many years. Avid reader / sometime #writer of #poetry, a community TA for the UPenn massive online course #modpo. Worry all the time about #climate, hope my work on #genetics will help. #fountainpens #yiddish #jewish #torah #ethics

I'm lucky & blessed that usually there's enough overlap between what I need to do & what I'm actually doing

Today tho, I barely brushed up against concentration #adhd

So I applied one of my favorite #coping mechanisms: convincing myself that I'm only responsible to take the first step

I opened my editor, pasted in the sample HTML, and thank God, the task-relevant networks took it from there

I'm reminded of two delicious pieces of #Torah

...לא עליך המלאכה לגמור

BUT NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT #Avraham was called #Hebrew - the Ivri because he was "over" the line. The whole world was on one side and he was on the other: the only person on earth who recognized his single, everloving Creator. #Torah #Parshah #LechLecha

Hillel the Elder would say:

If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

And when I am for myself, what am I?

And if not now, when?

This week's #Torah #Kasha #Parsha #LechLecha #Judaism

In #yeshiva, I learned that promises of good or rewards in #Tanakh are guaranteed, but promises of punishments are not neccesary, they 're like warnings. So for example when #Hashem promises success through the #Navi, it's guaranteed, but if He promises #exile, it's possible to avoid it.

If so, then why did so many #Rishonim try to calculate the #400years of slavery? Why didn't they just say "The warning no longer applied after ~200 years"

No one can ever stop you from doing #Teshuvah.

It's extremely close at hand, in your #mouth and #heart to do

Even if you are completely isolated, bereft of all positive social contact, the capacity to do teshuva was guaranteed from the very beginning

> It is not the station to which a man belongs that confers honour on him, but what he is in this station and how he thereby fulfils the high purposes for the sake of which alone he assumes his station in life-it is this which gives worth to a man.

Grunfeld translation, Soncino Edition, London, Volume II § 80

Gli #Arconti sono tornati tra noi!

Sono venuti a riscattare il loro #greggedipecore: l'#Umanità!

La #gnosi insegna che queste #entità #multidimensionali sono sempre tornate a mietere la #messe, così da avere il #raccolto loro necessario.

I segni sono attorno a noi. Basta leggere le #scritture per capire!

Nella #Torah #Numeri si legge:
‏מִזָּכָ֤ר עַד‎b‏־נְקֵבָה֙ תְּשַׁלֵּ֔חוּ אֶל־מִח֥וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֖ה תְּשַׁלְּח֑וּם ‎a‏ וְלֹ֤א יְטַמְּאוּ֙ אֶת־מַ֣חֲנֵיהֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנִ֖י שֹׁכֵ֥ן בְּתוֹכָֽם׃

Ci sono cose che risultano #agghiaccianti se sottoposte alla #leggemorale.

Ma nell’#esoterismo quelle cose sono solo una finestra sulle basi della #realtà.

La tratta dei #minori è candidamente descritta nella #Torah! Es. in #Numeri 31:25-47.: 32 #vergini del #bottino date al Signore (in ebraico #Yahweh).

Il lemma vergine, dato che al tempo di #Mosè non c’era l’ecografia, si rifà a chi sicuramente non aveva procreato: le #bambine! Cosa se ne faceva Yahweh di queste?
