Qwerty,
You scored a direct hit with your two questions. Great job .ARSo the Shmei puppet can’t answer either question so he says, We don’t die from a question..”
A) I answered the questions.
B) Open any sefer with divrei Torah on the parsha, you’ll find many questions in Torah. It’s not a reason to disregard a well-known pshat.
When we add my two questions is why do Maharsha and Ohr Hachaim not accept Rashi’s statement literally
Maharsha is arguing on Rashi (this may shock you, but meforshim argue all the time), and you have yet to show me the Ohr Hachaim, who clearly holds that Yaakov is physically alive (according to his pirush in Vayechi).
As for Shmei’s bubba maasehs, pay no attention to them..I caught the lying Kofer in my previous post where he falsely represents a statement of Rav Yochanan.
No, you read the WRONG Rav Yochanan (there were three, I was referring to the TWO that you “didnt see”… 😏) and ASKED me about it (not “caught” me) and I answered beautifully.
If you have a challenge to my answer, please present it. If not, admit that you made a “mistake”. (You will not.)
Shmei speculates that “perhaps” we can say the same about Yaakov, to wit since he seemed dead we can say he was dead sort of. So now we need Shmei to invent his own Torah
Qwerty, welcome to the world of limmud haTorah.
One Jew formulates a beautiful question on a Rashi; another Jew formulates a beautiful answer to defend Rashi (based on another Rashi – כפתור ופרח!!!).
Just another day in the beis midrash.
You clearly can’t provide any challenge to my beautiful answers.
