Go someplace else. The name already smells bad.

And, at the end of the day, he didn’t say it’s forbidden.

Now רבותי, that’s a very important question. I must tell you that all the things, the specific things, that you want Hashem to do for you, you should say it then. Don’t rely on שמונה עשרה, because שמונה עשרה itself is too general

I sometimes find it very difficult to justify asking for anything when my very existence is the result of not following the mitzvos and that, because of this, I am a completely wicked person with no opportunity to actually go back and correct matters.

Now, you really shouldn’t ask me that question because I don’t want to say anything about ספרים. However, you’ll find better history in other ספרים. Better than the ספר הישר. Better history. It’s a form of מדרש but it’s not guaranteed to be on the same level as the מדרש רבה and other מדרשים.

I would be highly skeptical of anyone who supposed that מדרש רבה was a history text.

We should say, “Ah nechtiger tog.” It’s an absurdity! We shouldn’t even bother repeating such foolishness. It’s a waste of time.

I highly doubt any astronomers made any such statements with certainty.

It is true that Swift-Tuttle will pass close to the earth on Aug 14, 2126. However, no reputable scientist would have stated that a collision was a certainly, but that there was merely a chance of it happening. And, as it turns out, further observations since then have ruled out a collision.

There’s no rule that you have to accept all the luxuries and use them.

Guilty as charged. I won a Megillas Esther at an auction one year and I kept it. Yes, I use it to read to homebound people every year, but perhaps I should have given it back after all. 🙁
