to Sara: Ivrit and Loshon Hakodesh share the hebrew alphabet and not much else

The surprise about the kol korei is perplexing. If the apartment overlooked a place where people wore no clothes at all, such as certain colonies, would anyone with an ounce of yiras shomayim consider buying or even visiting such an apartment? Do you think three inches of fabric makes a difference?

who cares what type of head covering he will wear – or what color frock. what will amaze everyone is not what he wears but that we will not care what he wears or what anyone else wears. no source for this – I just think the whole conversation of garb is silly

as promised regarding tznius. see otzar haposkim even hoezer (even ezra is a pirush al hatorah) 21:1 where a difference of opinions is brought regarding whether histaklus applies to women. Even so shok besha erva and the like are not applicable and a woman may recite kriyas shema in front of a man even he only the actual erva is covered OC75. It would seen from here that a man may not in to Miami Beach while a woman may say shema there. p.s. to throw around accusations of kefira is worse than many of the things regarding which those accusations are made. Please use some discretion when writing about ikrei emunah as they are not a joking matter.

I think it is safe to assume that moshiach will be qualified to sit on the sanhedrin in which case he will know all languages. 2. Modern Hebrew is not the same as lashon kodesh although it is based on it. There is on word for lifeguard since they didn’t exist at that time. 3. Regarding tznius I must confirm my sources before posting so that I shouldn’t just be saying boich torah like some of the other posts.

first of all,
jdspero- i heard from a major ba’al mussar of the previous generation that moshiach will speak YIDDISH. because that is the shprach that is meyuchad for jews. (although in today’s day and age i’m not sure if that still applies).

stamayid: i didn’t quite comprehend all your babble about 72/73 languages etc. etc. however one thing is for certain- Ivrit IS NOT “lashon hakodesh”!! it is a language made up by an APIKORES less then 150 years ago. in fact one of the qualities you find in lashon hakodesh is that there is no nivul peh in the language , as opposed to ivrit. also it is known that gedolim of the previous generations such as the steipler, and chazon ish ZTA”L would not speak “ivrit” with the modern hebrew inflections and words, but rather Lashon Hakodesh. (e.g. as you will find in most teshuva seforim the word for electricity used is “electric” written phoneticly in hebrew rather then the ivrit word of chashmal, which is a word used in the nevuah of Yechezekiel, about the ma’aseh merchava describing the fiery radiance surrounding the Shechina seated upon the heavenly chariot.)

“FMlogic123 There is absolutely no difference between lashon hakodesh and Ivrit.”

Was this meant in earnest?

Gemorakop, mehayche taise that moshiach wont be wearing a kipah seruga? For that matter until we stop differentiating between black hats, shtreimels, kipot srugot or any other intangibles, THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IF YOURE JEWISH OR HOW JEWISH YOU ARE, MOSHIACH NEBACH WONT COME.

FMlogic123 There is absolutely no difference between lashon hakodesh and Ivrit. According to you paroh could speak Ivrit but not lashon hakodesh? There are 73 languages in the world? No there are 72. Even today there are only 72, even though if you count you will find more than 72. There are however different dialects and slangs that might be different. But to say that they are different languages is border line kefirah. As far as the Arabs in Israel speaking in Ivrit…….what language are you writing and reading this in? why? shouldnt you only speak yiddish or hebrew (also the same language)? You live in the USA so you speak english. They live in the HOLY(kadosh)LAND, therefore they speak the holy(kadosh)language, LASHON HAKODESH. And its sadder that we live in america and speak english than them living there speaking lashon hakodesh, ivrit, jewish, hebrew, or whatever else you want to call it. Kol Tov

who needs artscroll and feldheim – there will always be someone on YW to translate what was said (and others to argue about what was said )
