“Theaters and circuses did not exist in ancient Egypt.”
I did not say that they did.
“taking three steps back and foward is a bit tricky with ski boots, but it can be done”
Correct for downhill boots. But with cross country skis it is easy. I’ve davened minchah many times while on cross country skis. Now if I could just get enough other Jews interested in cross country skiing….
“And have you ever consulted a Rov about davening at a game?”
I’ve davened at Yankee Stadium WITH rabbis!
“A minyan at a baseball game is like a minyan in back of an airplane.”
No, a minyan at the back of an airplane creates serious safety concerns if the plane is at all full. My flight to Europe last week was 3/4 empty but that was a rarity and I don’t think there were any other Jews on the plane — certainly none with a yarmulke.
“What are G-d given rights? Where/When did he give them to us? Is there a rishon that codified them somewhere?”
The “rishon” was named Thomas Jefferson, and he codified some of them in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. But it should be noted that Jefferson, who was not a Christian by any reasonable definition, was quite hostile to any and all organized religions. (He was neither an anti-Semite nor an atheist, though.) But Judaism doesn’t really speak of rights but of responsibilities. While the principles of the U.S. Declaration of Independence helped to create a country in which Jews are as well treated as at any time or place in our long galut — and in fact most of the small Jewish community here were enthusiastic supporters of the new Republic — we should not fall into the trap of thinking that Jefferson’s ideas represent Torah thinking.
