Ok, I won't call him fake anymore, but his claim to have "thorough" knowledge of the Holy Torah I am calling fake until he proves otherwise. This question about one of the twelve tribes is basic knowledge. Perhaps it will provoke him to jealousy to actually study the Word, something that he should have a true passion for already. For my money, I'll say that the calvinist Woody finds it first.

Gen 49:14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:M
V-15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.

My handy dandy "Stone Edition of the Chumash" tells me this.

This reflects Issachars spiritual role as bearer of the yoke of Torrah and cultivating of the spiritual treasures of the people. Rashi

He rest between two boundaries. The Torah Sages toil day and night in their studies without formal rest, but they are spiritually tranquil (Shaaeri Aharron).

Does this make me a Jew? Poor angelo, he missed out because he didn’t have the right commentary.
