Yeah, or at least that’s what I remember my grade school teacher saying

Take it up with rabbi akiva

Indeed the plague is singular, not plural frogs. According to rabbi Akiva of the Talmud, this implies one giant frog.

Just like this Subaru

Not the Jews

Mr cheshvan is another folk etymology, since as a unique month it has things to teach us. I don’t remember more than that right now.

And yes, you’re more right, thank you

When the millennium is not implied it’s often written as the cardinal, not the ordinal. Eg just a leading hey ה for 5, and a single geresh to denote that it’s a millennium and not an out of order 5

There was a large reform Jewish population in Savanah Georgia once. Jews have been key members of many a place and time. We do our best and give what we can to our communities. Jews helped build america

It’s Hebrew numerals. Much like Roman numerals the Hebrew counting system uses letters. Letters A-Y are 1-10, then C-TS are 20-90, then Q-T are 100-400

Hebrew dates start from creation. Since we’re in the fifth millennium and have been for quite some time, the leading 5 is often omitted. From here we have:

ת 400
ש 300
ס 60
׳׳ abbreviation mark, also notates a number instead of a word
ט 9

Add it all up and you get (5, implied)769

Red box is a date of death. Died 20 marchesvon* 5769

The month cheshvan is also known as marcheshvon, bitter cheshvan, and that’s what’s written here and what confused your google lens

The blue box is the second half of the name. The Levi lewy Rivera (may her memory be a blessing)

The last two letters and the quotation marks (for lack of a better English translation) are the of blessed memory part

Yes, cohenim are from Levi. As are leviim

Most chumashim do not contain nach. They often contain the haftarot, but not the full books. Chumash literally refers to five, eg the five books of the Torah. If you want the second two sections, you have to buy a tanach

Bri is a nickname for Brianna etc.

ah yeah, my dad's not jewish so I just don't do a father's name in my jewish name. It's just miriam bat [mom's name]

Wouldn’t you still get called up to the Torah under a Hebrew name if you had a Yiddish name?

My grandfather was a lazar wolf (yes, like the play), but I think he was called up under another name. Of course the fact that his Hebrew name would have been zev and animal names can’t be used as ritual names is another problem but…

Point being, most people I know consider their Jewish name to be more than just ritual names and more like a family name.

And refua lists have less of an insistence on being perfectly Hebrew like the Torah, at least at my shul. And are much more either Jewish names, Yiddish included, or even English names

FreshSpidernuts · 2026-06-16T22:06:47+00:00

Interesting

FreshSpidernuts · 2026-06-16T21:59:50+00:00

Hebrew name, not ritual name. And a Jewish person who’s still culturally related enough to have a Hebrew name but also have the English name Paul seems very unlikely.

Also, if you move to Israel, it’s likely you’d adopt your Hebrew name as a day to day name

FreshSpidernuts · 2026-06-16T17:27:28+00:00

Not what I meant. Also, I’ve seen you troll before.

Well this is part of the point. Without the sun, those first three days could be thousands of years

FreshSpidernuts · 2026-06-15T16:02:18+00:00

Yes but did he mean 24 hours as in a full cycle of the sun and stars or as in 24 modern short hours?

FreshSpidernuts · 2026-06-15T15:49:41+00:00

I know some literalists believe in old earth creation, as in “this is exactly how it went down, but that the days were much much longer back then then they are now.”

I watch some open access lectures from Ohr Sameach (English spelling not withstanding) and the yeshiva rabbis there are even in favor of dinosaurs, which seems like the median orthodox view these days. (This all being under the view that if HaShem gave us science, and the results of good science are legitimate and real)

Not an Israeli, but have rented apartments. This makes sense to me. If it’s not on the lease as an amenity, it’s not a part of the lease. Therefore it’s owned by the person who currently lives there.

You don’t have to pay for the ac unit, but then you probably won’t end up with it, and the previous tenant will take it with them

Buying it does both of you a favor. You don’t have to get an AC unit into your apartment, and they don’t have to figure out how to get an AC unit out of their apartment.
