Fine & Shapiro
138 West 72nd Street
New York, NY
212-877-2874

Forgive me...I remember it as Shapiro and Fine. But it is incredible. If I didn't have a pastrami and cole slaw on rye (with thousand island dressing) at least once a week...I felt weak at the knees.

Heaven on earth!!!

Thou shalt not kill.

FTR, It's, "Thou shall not murder."

There is a difference.

I think it's because they split up covet thy neighbors wife and goods when that was, I believe, one commandment originally.

From MW:
synonyms DESIRE, WISH, WANT, CRAVE, COVET mean to have a longing for. DESIRE stresses the strength of feeling and often implies strong intention or aim (desires to start a new life). WISH sometimes implies a general or transient longing especially for the unattainable (wishes for permanent world peace). WANT specifically suggests a felt need or lack (wants to have a family). CRAVE stresses the force of physical appetite or emotional need (craves sweets). COVET implies strong envious desire (covets his rise to fame).
I think covet is not quite so illicit in English as you suggest.

The first translation of the Hebrew was into Aramaic and there the word used translates into our desire.

I also found this:

What does 'covet' refer to? In Exodus 34:24 this verb (hamad) appears where the context suggests the meaning 'to confiscate your home' and not 'to covet'. Rashi, following a strong Rabbinic tradition, interprets the eighth commandment that we typically render as 'You shall not steal' to refer to stealing people (ie. kidnapping), and then understands 'covet' in the Ten Commandments to mean stealing objects. Does 'covet' then mean 'to steal' (or planning to steal)? Is only the behaviour acted upon the desire prohibited, or is the desire itself forbidden? I assume the latter would be the most widely violated commandment. (I mean, come on, don't tell me you don't covet your neighbour's iPod?) This was also an issue for the Christian church. Must I confess for inward desire or only outward acts? In a rare act of biblical interpretation, Pope Pious V in 1567 ruled that mere desire was not to be considered sinful; notwithstanding, President Jimmy Carter famously once admitted to 'sinning' in his heart.

What about Schwartz's in Montreal? Nothing in TO beats that.

Schwartz's, in Montreal. When Japanese businessmen order jets to deliver their pastrami same-day to a business meeting thousands of miles away, paying tens of thousands of dollars for delivery of a meal that only costs a few hundred, you know it's damn fine.

I am also partial to Yitz's, in Toronto. Though I feel its quality has gone down in the last while.

However, as Robert A. Morey famously pointed out, Jews and Christians do not make the same claims for their holy books that Muslims make for theirs. Muslims believe that the Quran is a perfect book, full of unambiguous truth, written in heaven by Allah himself with no earthly sources. Jews and Christians know fully well that their books are compilations of stories from all around the middle east, brought together either because they contained important historical information, or interesting philosophical musings, or stories that taught interesting lessons, and so on.

Balderdash like this supposedly "on my side" embarrasses me.

Torat-HaShem temimah. And the Torah was written by HaShem without sources and served as the blueprint for Creation. It was dictated to Moses letter-by-letter.

This "unlike the muzzies, Jews and chr*stians have thrown into the towel to Hegelian historical development" is utter nonsense (at least as far as traditional Torah Judaism is concerned). Unfortunately, the traditional Jewish attitude is completely unknown outside the Yeshivish world. Let us pray that Jewish "fundamentalism" comes out of the closet!!!

"Jews and Christians are essentially the police department.."

Except that Jews and Christians have a different Chief of Police. Jews who reject Christ as their Savior, in effect reject the Father. So if the Father is absent (per Jesus' words), then who takes his place? The Father without the Son?

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also."John 14:6-7

"Whoever hates me hates my Father also." John 15:23

"Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me." Luke 10:16

Freepmail not necessary.

It didn't mean a dadgum thing, except that I like Douglas Adams and planned to read your essay later because of that.

So I wanted to bookmark it.

Atheism is superior to Islam, better that you have no meaning to life and no faith in the future than you worship evil and murder people.
