How the heck did I not research the firmament? It's exactly the kind of thing that would interest me. I clearly remember hearing the word several times, but immediately pushed it out of mind. When I ask the "frummies in the mi(d)st" what the word means, they've heard the word but don't know why it's used or what it refers to -- just like I once didn't.

"Only the truth" Do you realize how difficult it is to dig out the truth from the mountain of lies that the truth is buried underneath. I read the comments on President George Bush. They call him a liar. So what? Bill Clinton was also a liar " I did not have sex with that woman" Does anybody tell the truth anymore. I know a rabbi ( no names mentioned) who does not know what the word truth is. Thats ok, there are plenty of preists who also dont know what truth means. One of the names of God is " Emes" which means truth. That is probably the ultimate truth. That there is a God . The world belongs to someone. The world has an owner.Avihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997363309827612119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-1120617725710317072005-07-05T22:42:00.000-04:002005-07-05T22:42:00.000-04:00Wolf, you have a sense of humor.Wolf, you have a sense of humor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-1120617121123196162005-07-05T22:32:00.000-04:002005-07-05T22:32:00.000-04:00The seperate-sex public schools would actually be ...The seperate-sex public schools would actually be for the benefit of girls and the boys would lose out. Sociologists' research (at least in the '90s)showed that girls performed overwhelmingly better academically in a single-sex classroom. Plus, mandatory uniforms in schools (esp. for the lower socioeconomic stratus) provides a relief to the pupils as not feel so self-conscious and have an easier time focusing on their lessons rather than their appearance, style of dress, etc. Uniforms can also keep those spoiled bratty kids from making the other ones feel like they don't dress cool enough. Stange as it sounds, uniforms offers more freedom for developing minds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-1120611095379439652005-07-05T20:51:00.000-04:002005-07-05T20:51:00.000-04:00In 5:23 Rashi says Meroz is either a star or a per...In 5:23 Rashi says Meroz is either a star or a person. Clearly he does not interpret inhabitants as inhabitants of a person. In fact, he specifically explains in the interpretation of "the inhabitants thereof" that it means within the person's daled amos. You're projecting your modern understanding of stars as distant suns onto Rashi's primitive worldview (astroview? cosmosview?).<BR/><BR/>In 5:20 Rashi goes into detail about the firmament dome that was imagined to be holding back the waters behind the sky. He "shows" how from this posuk we derive that the thickness of the firmament is equal to the height between heaven and earth. He also says that stars are <I>in</I> the firmament, and that they are exactly as long as the firmament. Thus, it's very unlikely that Rashi thought that there was extraterrestrial life -- because he didn't know that there was extraterrestrial <I>anything</I>.M-nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544559966559522003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-1120603662693980322005-07-05T18:47:00.000-04:002005-07-05T18:47:00.000-04:00Mis-nagid,Doesn't Rashi there identify Meroz as a ...<B>Mis-nagid</B>,<BR/><BR/>Doesn't Rashi there identify Meroz as a star?
