Belive it or not there are records from the Greek and Roman Empires and other empires Like the Byzantine which account for most year. They were not illeterate fools.
Historians don’t just make things up guys. There is a written historical record that comes from secular sources, and there are times when there are multiple historical secular sources.
Of course they don’t make things up. But they do build huge mountains of extrapolation on top of small “facts”, such that if the small fact is not true, the rest is not either. And those small facts are frequently pretty unclear and inconsistent.
Hence why I called it hararim hatluyim b’saarah.
Or to paraphrase Mark Twain, they get such wholesome returns of conjecture with such a small investment of fact. (See Life on the Mississippi where he proves that the just over a trillion years ago next Tuesday, the Mississippi river used to jut out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing rod.)
lol yes pixelate.
I did in fact miss the irony of the OP coming online to anonymously insult us.
I am a kitten. My name is popa. I live in a big white house in the country. Every day when I wake up I say meow; it means hello.
Socrates was executed by being given poison.
that was copernicus.
I once saw Harry at the zoo. That was how I got here.
I did too say hi. Not my fault you didn’t understand cattongue.
I was. Socrates was not forced to drink poison. He was offered a chance to escape. he chose the poison.
No, that was the sasquatch you saw. You’re confusing them.
Mods: you asked me to keep things nice. We’ll, please keep HaKatan out of the threads I start about Israel. His hatred does more to prevent Mashiach from coming than everything I’ve ever done combined.
Being nice includes playing nice with people who disagree with you.
Hakatan didn’t attack you or anyone in any personal way. He simply disagreed with you. Deal with it.
It was Socrates who was forced to drink poison.
How would you know? Were you there?
He was forced to drink poison.
Fair points.
(But to be obtuse anyway, I’ll wonder whether the unfairly high taxes were still lower than todays taxes in Israel.)
History is like a mountain balancing on a hair. The historians build mountains and mountains of dates and happenings by comparing one thing to the next, but it all depends on the first step–which is frequently as flimsy as a hair.
I don’t believe the first beis hamikdosh was destroyed in 586 BC. I think it was in 421 BC. I saw it written on a very old website.
Why move to Detroit? It’s not mentioned anywhere in Tanach.
Of course it is. The ???? ?????.
And Pittsburgh is the ??? ?????.
For someone who professes to be a therapist, you sure don’t seem to know much about people.
Yes, but no jobs.
No jobs.
Come home and call in popa’s havtacha.
Come home.
How many people can do this?
To be in the army I assume. It is only fair.
Big deal. I do that while I’m awake.
Especially after eating my wife’s “special” cookies.
Krispy Kreme.
I think he’s talking about lag b’omer, and the yearly hock over whether you can listen to music already at night.
Gets crazier every year. I think I’ll sit it out this time.
Mine does. Because I got it before obamacare. But it doesn’t cover childbirth–good thing I’m a man.
Our matza was not quite soft, but some of it was not quite brittle either…
afikomen is based on the korban pesach which was eaten at the end of the meal on a full stomach.
Maybe for you. I haven’t seen that.
I listened to chazal instead of mocking them, like Hashem intended.
I frankly have no idea what any of you are talking about anymore, but the “I’m intolerant against intolerance” line boils down to “I’m intolerant, but I even go further and claim the moral high ground of calling my opponents intolerant.”
Sam: I think I have clear disproofs. It should be just as taboo for him to be intolerant of me for disapproving, without clear disproofs of my position.
It’s brought down al pi sod that the entire shul exclaims aloud and is me’id “k’eileh!”, to be motzi from the tzedukim/YCT who don’t hold of korbanos.
Sam: gufa al zeh anu danim.
How many drank all 4 cups before chatzos like hashem says?
Left the first night at 1 and the second night at 1230.
daasyochid- im not being intolerant of squeak. C”V. I’m intolerant of intolerance. that is not only referring to squeak. its referring to anyone who is intolerant.
Of course. And that makes you also intolerant. You are intolerant of somethings, and we are intolerant of others.
There is no real difference between us, except that we are intolerant of something that Hashem is intolerant of, while you are intolerant of something you decided to dislike on your own.
I read the article by ari & ari on soft matza.
I won’t say you’re a goy of you eat them.
I figuratively lol’ed at my story from last sukkos.
Rabbi Slifkin gives Torah tours of zoos all over the world where he mocks the issues involved in identifying animals mentioned in the Torah, the issues in determining the kashrut of an animal or bird, and the homiletic and midrashic statements regarding different animals
I fixed that for you.
Always greet him with a beer when he comes home from work.
Always greet him with a beer when he comes home from shul.
Always greet him with a beer when he comes home from the bar.
Don’t be ridiculous; how could you make matza balls without matza? Or without a ball?
My theory is that you hate Hashem, and as a corollary to that also hate anyone who serves Him.
“Chareidi” is a term made up by the sonei torah to make fun of us. Your question is as if you go tell african americans that they should proudly refer to themselves by the n word.
In any event, your history is all wrong. Nobody used to call americans chareidim at all, until a few years ago when people realized there were jews in america they could hate right here*! I’ve been adopting it for myself since then.
*like the crusaders
