I’m not a talmud chuchem but I dutifully checked in the Gemarah, on alhatorah and on safaaria what the rif says on yaacov lo meis. There is nothing on the rif’s commentary on yaacov lo meis, not in the gemarah, not on safaaria not on alhatorah. Neither is there anything on safaaria in the iyin yaacov on yaacov lo meis. I cannot believe that these two sites that bring the entire talmud and rif’s entire commentary and the safaara which bring the entire eyin yaacov would leave out what they say on yaacov lo meis. Therefore, i was a little suspicious of yaacov’s shmei link to a barely readable copy of the gemarah and commentaries. But not being familiar with learning, as I mentioned I am a female, I didn’t say anything about my suspicions. But as yaacov shmei bought it up again I will voice my suspicions on the source he links.
As I said, I couldn’t find anything in the sefer itself, not on safaaria, not on alhatorah what the rif says on that gemarah. This was highly suspicious to me. Neither could I find on safaria in iyin yaacov anything on yaacov lo meis. Again, this is highly suspicious to me. Going back the menachem shmei’s link, it is titled “Ein Ya’akov – Part B-3 (RA-Kidoshin) ” how can it be titled iyin yaacov on “kidoshin” when the copy of the page shows the gemorah “taanis daf h”?
I had my suspicions on who runs the site “Hebrew Books”. Sure enough, when you google “Hebrew Books” you see a major part of their library are Chabad texts. When I googled “hebrew books is a chabad organization” it comes up that they partnered with Chabad…
I’m not going to make any accusations but I will ask why is there the rif and ayin yaacov (barely readable) commentaries on the gemarah taanis 5b on the words “yaacov lo meis” only on a Chabad site?! I asked before and I ask again, if anyone has another, non-Chabad, link to the rif’s and ayin yaacovs commentary on “yaacov lo meis” please link it. Thanks.
