Interesting question! I'd never heard the distance explanation, just the *tumah meit* one, but never thought about the implications that you've pointed out. I wonder if there's an element of "can't make it worse"; the temple was already defiled, after all, and maybe their actions at least moved thi... (more) |

Importing is a little fragile right now; I have an open request for one-question-at-a-time import (self-serve) but it's not implemented yet. It might be better to do it the old-fashioned way, copying/adapting with attribution. I'm sorry we don't have better import tools; when we did that batch of ~... (more) |

@curiousdannii oh I see; you're thinking of psalm settings that are specifically used in Christian worship? (It makes sense that there would be some, just as there are some that are used in specific places in Jewish prayer. I just didn't make the connection.) (more) |

@curiousdannii that's a good (different) question -- if the text itself is clearly fine (I mean, we had the psalms first :-) ) but the *source* is Christian, is that a problem? Does it depend on how prominent the source is -- everybody recognizes that famous setting but obscure is different? Does ... (more) |

To your second question, isn't there a midrash (that I can't find now) that Eretz Yisrael was exempt from the flood? If so, then the ark wouldn't be able to float to a resting point there. (more) |

@AA import is a little glitchy right now, so while I'd like to get that fixed, the last batch introduced a lot of database weirdnesses that had to be cleaned up so I'd rather not. I'd *rather* bring it over, but in the absence of better import, I'd rather have the answer here than not. (more) |

@user8078 it depends on how you bind "with Lot" -- does it mean that Avram and Sarai came out of Egypt and Lot joined them as they headed to the Negev, or that Lot was with them all along? (more) |

Nice. Any thoughts on what women, who can't look at their *t'filin*, should do to rise up out of those ashes of despair? (Also, did Israel lose its slave mentality at the *yam suf*, or just temporarily? Didn't they long for Egypt later too? I guess one lesson is that these things rarely happen al... (more) |

While I'd learned the mishna in Yoma (for some value of "learned"), this year was my first time attending a Yom Kippur service that did the *avodah* service as written. I found it a powerful experience, and this interpretation adds more layers to that. Thank you. (more) |

Welcome to the community! We welcome questions from anybody, not just Jews. Verse 23 gives an explanation (Avram's words); are you asking why he said that, why he felt he needed to take a vow rather than just saying it, or something else? (more) |

@Harel13 taking as given that Yitzchak agreed and supported his father's actions, it's still a harrowing experience, especially if he was 13 rather than 37. Our patriarchs were human, with human vulnerabilities; it seems plausible that there might have been distance between them after that (especial... (more) |

I am, for now at least, tagging this for the context in which the question arose. If it turns out it has nothing to do with Yom Kippur in particular, we can of course adjust the tags. (more) |

@manassehkatz more like "and Rashi on this says..." and "here's the Ibn Ezra" and "Rav Hirsch says" and "see also this discussion in the g'mara over here" and such.

@ploni it should. "Hidden" SE sites aren't very hidden; what you're really linking here (behind the scenes) is your SE *network* profile, and that's visible through the API even if it's not displayed on SE. (more) |

I think I prefer that there not be a time-based component, because it could be too limiting.

@DonielF does it have answers there? Here? We don't have question merging yet, but if there's been divergence we could bring over the other question and then mark one as a dupe of the other I guess? I'm open for input on the best way to handle this situation. (more) |
