Let's try something. From now on (beside people I consider as fascist here) I will try to stop using the phrase "you do not understand"

Even if I often believe it to be true, this sentences can hurt and gaslight. I will stop that.

It's clear that it creates a big wall that is preventing me to get through. I'll see how I can go around that.

Even if it means that I can't answer.

In the Babylonian Talmud

Did God really Send Moses in the future so he can observe Rabbi Akiva's explaining the Torah to his students?
I actually have heard that one, I think it’s “real”…God really dicked Moses around for someone who did that much for His cause, the guy didn’t even get to see Jerusalem for more than a few seconds because of that rock he struck :crybeard:

“Four entered the Pardes (Paradise): Ben Azzai, Ben Zoma, Elisha ben Abuyah, and Rabbi Akiva. Ben Azzai died. Ben Zoma went mad. Elisha became a heretic.
But Rabbi Akiva entered in peace and exited in peace.”
Recognise this?

Happy Hanukkah btw

what do you think about the idea of putting seasonings into latkes? Do you think it bastardizes it?

was thinking about messing around with Cajun seasoning or curry spices, but I remember a friend telling me that the idea of the latke was that it was supposed to be bland because it was created by poor Jews in European ghettos.

Yep, I’m being serious when I say that I actually did a performance of that parable one summer at the Jewish sleepaway camp I attended for six years…I was the one who immediately died, but I still got to write a big monologue about how the glory of paradise was simply too much to handle :shocked:

Cajun seasoning in latkes sounds…pretty damn good, honestly! I think the spirits of those who escaped the desert and the shtetls will forgive this particular transgression, it’s not like you’re violating kashrut by zhuzhing it up a bit :brootea:

I need to read more of the Talmud, my milk toast reform temples rarely talk about the cool stories in the Talmud.

All I have read is pirkei avot, which for those of yall who don’t know is just famous quotes from various rabbi.

Don’t really know where to start with the Talmud though because like 90% of it is just endless discussion on mundane Jewish law.

I don’t know the Talmud well at all, mostly studied the Tanakh before my Bar Mitzvah and neither one since then :MonkeWhat:
