Ping.

[Quix]

Thanks thanks.

You should add the reading for Pirke Avot.

[Zionist Conspirator]

You should add the reading for Pirke Avot.

Good point, but I have my hands full enough as it is! Plus as a Noachide I read Pirqei-'Avot only from Pesach to Shavu`ot. Also I'm not as familiar with the schedule, when chapters begin to be doubled up, etc.

[Alouette]

Pirke Avot is double chapters for the last 3 weeks before Rosh Hashana.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Pirke Avot is double chapters for the last 3 weeks before Rosh Hashana.

Thanks. I guess I get confused because of the discrepancy that sometimes occurs (when Sivan 7 is on Shabbat) between Israel and Chutz La'Aretz.

But Pirqei-'Avot is sort of like Daf Yomi. I began this project last fall to post the public Bible readings in the liturgy. There are no public readings from the Talmud in the liturgy. I suppose this makes me a closet Qara'ite? [/humor]

Thanks, ZC!

BEHAALOSECHA

Numbers X,29
...We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said: I will give it you; come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.

It’s good when G-d speaks of good, remembering how He made the universe good.

The haftorah, Zechariah III,1-2, by contrast, names Satan, twice.

It’s always struck me that evil needs humanity to induce it. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem to have a necessity of existing. Evil emanates only from the human brain (or, some extraterrestrial brain, if such exists).

Thus, knowing that G-d prefers good, shouldn’t we try, and do good?

Thanks ZC!

Thanks ZC!

You're most welcome.

I'll do my best to remember to include you from now on.

Freundel, Barry: Contemporary Orthodox Judaism's Response To Modernity.

Interesting, I think.

Baruch ata Adonai....

[Quix]

Thanks.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Is “contemporary” Orthodoxy the same as “Modern” Orthodoxy?

[onedoug]

As contemporary is to modern dress, perhaps, their styles not definitionally exact.

Conservative in belief. Not denominationally.

I got it from the library, so it should be about.

I bet you’d like it ZC!

Pre-Shabbat bump.
