rabbisedley: February 2013
http://rabbisedley.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
David Sedley's Thoughts and Musings (and some audio shiurim too). Wednesday, February 13, 2013. I was always puzzled by the Gemara. Which speaks of Yochanan the High Priest becoming a heretic after 80 years in the job:. Believe not in thyself until the day of thy death? For lo, Johanan the High Priest officiated as High Priest for eighty years and in the end he became a Min? He must have been at least 100 when he gave up being a frum Jew and became a Christian instead! By Rabbi Norman Solomon. Then (thou...
rabbisedley: December 2012
http://rabbisedley.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
David Sedley's Thoughts and Musings (and some audio shiurim too). Sunday, December 30, 2012. Blessing for Birth of Down's Syndrome Baby. Last week (and again this week) Rav Shlomo Aviner. Publicised a p'sak halacha that parents should recite two blessings on the birth of a child with Down's Syndrome, both shehechiyanu and dayan ha-emet. Shehechiyanu for the Birth of a Child with Down's Syndrome. Q: If someone has a baby with Down's Syndrome, does he recite Shehechiyanu? After all, he is sad. Wrote a grea...
rabbisedley: September 2012
http://rabbisedley.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
David Sedley's Thoughts and Musings (and some audio shiurim too). Saturday, September 22, 2012. Is this Torah-true Judaism? I was looking at Rabbi Zamir Cohen's book The Coming Revolution. Today In it he claims that Louis Pasteur developed his cure for rabies after first reading a French translation of the Talmud. Cohen writes:. If someone is bitten by a mad dog [affected with rabies], he should be fed the lobe of that dog's liver.". About Rabinowitz I only know what google tells me. Apparently Dr...
rabbisedley: Biblical Kangaroos
http://rabbisedley.blogspot.com/2013/07/this-post-is-inspired-by-scientific.html
David Sedley's Thoughts and Musings (and some audio shiurim too). Monday, July 22, 2013. This post is inspired by the scientific writings of Dr Isaac Betech (pediatrician). The statement by YSO. That Kangaroos were known by both the Torah and by Chazal. Confused me at first, because it seemed to pose a difficulty to the mishna. But Baruch Hashem, using scientific methodology we have been able to clearly resolve all difficulties and show that Hashem is the Boreh Olam! Rishon le-Tziyon points out that from...

David Sedley's Thoughts and Musings (and some audio shiurim too). Thursday, June 28, 2012. Rav Dushinsky Saves Jerusalem? I was looking at a book entitled "HaTekufah ve-Bayoteha" - "The Era and its Troubles" by Rav Yosef Avraham Wolff. He became a chasid of the Chazon Ish, and was responsible for creating the Beis Yaakov educational philosophy which allowed for the the current Kollel system. My problem is that I cannot find any reference anywhere to such a story. Has anyone heard this story before? This ...

Parshat shavua divrei torah and parsha summaries from Rabbi David Sedley. Updated several times a week. Saturday, June 14, 2008. Tosefet Bracha Shelach Lecha. L'ilui nishmat R' Avraham ben Yona Ya'akov. Send for yourself men” (13; 2). Rashi points out the reason that the story of the spies follows immediately after the story of Miriam (at the end of Beha'alotecha), since they both speak about lashon hara. Moshe called Hoshea bin Nun - Yehoshua” (13; 16). We must point out that every time in the Torah and...

Parshat shavua divrei torah and parsha summaries from Rabbi David Sedley. Updated several times a week. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. Tosefet Bracha - Chukat. 8220;You should take for yourself a red heifer…” (19; 2). It is not exactly clear what the word(s) ‘for yourself’ mean. In Parshat Tetzaveh where it states “You shall take olive oil for yourself” the Sages explain what it means. Here there is no explanation. I found in the Yalkut here the following drasha:. There must be a reason for this. David Sedley...

Parshat shavua divrei torah and parsha summaries from Rabbi David Sedley. Updated several times a week. Saturday, June 21, 2008. Not only Korach, but all those who followed him also openly espoused equality, but in reality were aiming for personal political power. This is why the Mishna (Ethics of the Fathers 5; 17) states: "What is an example of an argument that is not for the sake of heaven? Rav Yonasan Eibeschitz in his book Tiferes Yonasan takes this idea to the point where he writes that Korach's so...

Parshat shavua divrei torah and parsha summaries from Rabbi David Sedley. Updated several times a week. Sunday, April 06, 2008. The Torah describes a type of male genital discharge called Zav. This renders him, or anything that he sits or lies on, tamei. Any person or utensil that he touches also becomes tamei. Once the discharge has ceased, he must count seven clean days. On the eighth day he immerses in a Mikva to purify himself, and brings a purification sacrifice. When a woman menstruates she becomes...

David Sedley's Thoughts and Musings (and some audio shiurim too). Sunday, July 28, 2013. Medieval Theory of Vision. This post may have relevance to a book I am working on, so if anyone has any ideas or comments or explanations I would very much welcome them. The ancient Greeks were basically divided into two camps of how vision works. One camp held with the theory of Emission. The opposing view held that miniature replicas of objects entered into the eye. This is the intromission theory. מה ראה אמר רב רא...
