Thank you for your time. If I understand right, you tried to "kill the question" by proving that the Ethiopian tradition is a mistake. Even if it's true, I still looking for a disagreement that holds against a practice. (more) |

@DonielF Yes. When you count 15 they (used to) count 8, and their Shavuoth will be week later. (more) |

@DonielF I assume that if the Tora use a [title that refers to] divine name for naming something secular (masters, idols) so may we. (more) |

In a similar vein, when I was young, I encountered a video game [can't remember it's name] where one of the enemies named "Elohim". Is playing this game is heresy? (more) |

@AA It seems that we understand the question differently. Since the Tora lean towards practical actions, rather then abstract principles, I thought that the OP meant "which practical actions with ethical meaning behind them are still unique to the oral Tora". If the OP meant like your understanding, ... (more) |

@AA Shameful mistake by me, edited. Also, there is ethical teaching when God tells us that our ownership on our land is limited, and people should get a fresh start. (more) |

@AA Being a vegan means restrictions on your menu, while being in fast means you have no menu at all. I agree that Hanania, Mishael an Azaria were not vegans due to the reasons that usually cause people to turn vegans, but it's close. (more) |

@Harel13 See page 271. Indeed looks like a *possibly* by some *cults*... it supports the Chinese case. (more) |

@Harel13 The Drakon in the Gemara was worshiped, as the Chinese Long. If the Greek Dragon figures were not worshiped, they are halacha-wise equivalent to "Hello kitty" dolls. (more) |

@DonielF. As I said many times before, applying pre-*Matan Tora* people with S"H is a bad strategy, and even then, "honoring your parents" is beyoned the strict ruling - "ויש שהוא כודנו ברחיים ויורש גן עדן" (more) |

@Harel13 Two question that rise when interpreting as the "classic" reading: Why the sage didn't agree with Rashb"i? And why he played that trick, instead telling Rasb"i that he disagrees? (more) |

| Comment | Post #276731 |
@Harel13 *Punkt Fakert* (The exact opposite). In my suggestion, the metaphor is stronger. People will say, "prostitutes (who compete) credit each other, but Rashb"i didn't credit his fellow sage?!" BTW the word competing is not part of the Gemara, I edited my question. (more) |
