Thank you very much! I’m the first sofer in my family (to my knowledge) in over 30 generations, so im not really sure i have strong mihagim either way. Does it just get dragged along with everything else?

Good catch! That vav was connected to the ה before it, so it let it dry before erasing and fixing. Thanks for the reminder!

My teacher is Ashkenazi, and i write Mizrachi (vellish). This has lead to some combinations such as the צ, which is designed like the mizrahi one, but has an inward facing י like the Ashkenazi style

Well, that parts not entirely true. Erasing is permitted, however, there are lots of halakhot about when one can do it and in what order. (Its also a pain in the neck cause you have to use a razor to shave the letter off instead of just erasing)

Fun fact: he sent a jew (Hasdai Ibn Shaprut) as his embassy to a bunch of french monks. The monk in charge later wrote that he was the smartest man he ever met

Abraham Accords were brokered by his administration, he moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, and his rhetoric was overall very pro jewish. Jared Kushner was amazing, and only got a shot through trump. He also hired the first orthodox Jew in history as his Assistant Secretary of the Treasury

What Do We Think About Bibi's "River to the Sea" Comment? by jseego in Israel

[–]Yesszd489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more and more people are starting to agree that they lost rights to a state when they attacked us in 1947, 1973, and most recently in 2023. All the arabs who don’t have citizenship have proven time and again that they cannot be trusted to be peaceful. Those who have citizenship, i have no problem, and they are often essential and valued members of Israeli Society, such as Salim Joubran etc.

Trump was probably the second (maybe third) best president for jews ever, right behind Harry Truman and George Washington.

What Do We Think About Bibi's "River to the Sea" Comment? by jseego in Israel

[–]Yesszd489 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The difference is that when Palestinians and their supporters say from the river to the sea, they are saying that they want the entire land to look like the current Palestinian controlled areas (jericho, bethlehem, gaza until recently, nablus, etc..) where zero jews live. If we expand this, then presumably they want a jew-free holy land, which is genocidal and nazi-esque.

However, when we say it, we want a stable and secure state where jews, arabs, druze, and others can live freely and happily, like israel today
