    Golan Heights Winery in Katzrin is beautiful. I’ve been there. The brands they produce are Yarden, Gamla, Mount Hermon, and Golan. It’s about a two and a half hour drive from Jerusalem.

    If you want to see a (presumably) non-drush explanation of the four yesodei habriah, see the Rambam Yesodei Hatorah end of perek gimmel/beginning of perek daled.

    I know him for many, many years. Besides for being a very talented singer, he’s also a really sweet guy. Very easy to deal with.

    Torah613Torah – My comment was said tongue-in-cheek. I didn’t think they actually used conch shells either.

    If he thinks you’re being too OCD in your observance of kashrus, refer him to the eleventh perek of Mesillas Yesharim (about five pages in, depending on the print) where he talks about ma’achalos asuros.

    For a real-life example of what he’s talking about, remember the Chicago Tylenol Murders, where an estimated 31 million bottles of Tylenol were recalled in response to a total of seven reported deaths.

    This question makes no sense. Measuring cups by definition are used to measure a standard, agreed-upon measurement. That measurement could not have been agreed upon unless someone had a cup which held that amount, or was marked off to show that amount. Once you have one, you can make a million.

    Unless you’re asking how people measured ingredients for recipes before they had standards for measurements. I presume they had to test proportions (5 horns of black pepper to 1 1/2 conch shells of baking soda) until they found something that worked, which is the same thing they do nowadays.

    If you look in the Koren Tanach they have the “real” perakim printed on the side. I’m not sure what the origin of those are though.

    Interestingly, in Tanach the perakim are insignificant and the pesukim are; while in Mishnayos the perakim are significant and the mishnayos are not.

    Don’t understand your logic.

    $.07 (cork) + $4.00 is $4.07. Your missing $.03!

    Hmmm … I think The Jewish Press got it right, and you got it wrong. $4.00 is not $4.00 more than $.07

    oomis – Not to be motzi la’az, but you can’t put Helfgot in the same sentence. As Yossele. (See what I did there?) At best, he is a chazunishe singer.

    Also, I wouldn’t say that Kossevitsky reached his notes effortlessly. Watch videos of him singing and you’ll see that his face turns beet red. In contrast, Yossele barely moved when he sang.

    rationalfrummie – I don’t see how that conflicts with what I said, but if you want a nice explanation on that, see Ohr Gedalyahu on Chanuka (the one about Torah Sheba’al Peh). It’s a long piece, but somewhere in there he talks about this.

    oomis, VERY well-said. There is no such thing as true morality. For us Jews, eating pork and marrying gays is as immoral as murder. Obviously there is a concept of mitzvos kalos and chamuros, but there is no external form of “morality” playing any role.

    Lawrence Kellerman uses the human race’s general condemnation of murder as one of his four approaches to proving there is a god, in his book Permission to Believe.

    Personal choice would be Mesillas Yesharim, Alei Shur, and Igros Moshe, respectively. Tomar Devorah is a great sefer too, and generally not as hard to read as Mesillas Yesharim.

    Not all jokes have punchlines. Think about non-sequiturs.

    Did you know that if you took all the arteries from your body and laid them end-to-end, you’d probably die because you would have no arteries.

    If you were stranded on an island and you could only bring ONE food with you, you better hope you get rescued.
