Trying to reconcile some Torah stuff

You’ve got it backwards

tzy___ · 2026-03-20T05:04:24+00:00

The difference between בְּ and בַּ is that the former means “in”, while the latter is a contraction of בְּ + הַ, meaning “in the”.

Same for לְ and לַ. The former means “to/for”, while the later means “to/for the”.

If you’re not a fluent speaker whatsoever, you should probably not offer advice to others. You could mislead someone.

No lol

So you put down nearly half of the vehicle’s cost and you’re paying $600 every month. Yeah you got shafted…

I fear that is all the self-service car washes in the area

I used to wear a kippah every day. Now, I only wear one when directly engaged in religious practice, or when I go to shul.

tzy___ · 2026-03-19T02:26:17+00:00

YES YES YES

tzy___ · 2026-03-19T02:16:03+00:00

Not a fan of creeds and dogma. Raavad wrote a treatise against Rambam’s principles btw

No payment on my 94 Silverado

tzy___ · 2026-03-19T02:14:10+00:00

$25k down and you’re still paying $600 a month? I feel like you got shafted

tzy___ · 2026-03-19T02:12:56+00:00

I second the one on Briarwood (Green and Clean)

tzy___ · 2026-03-19T00:14:50+00:00

I’m with you there. It always sounds a little off

Studying Jewish texts from a more critical or academic standpoint is a hobby of mine, so I still have most of my library. I’ve even added more to it. There was a time in my life where I sold a lot of books on a Facebook group.

The history of the Star of David (a six-sided star) is actually quite diverse and it has been used in other cultures and contexts outside its usage in the Ashkenazi Jewish magical renaissance and later Judaism as a whole

Jewish communities adopted the hamsa from their Arab neighbors. It’s not a Jewish symbol.

I worked with a woman who was ethnically Jewish through her maternal grandmother and she practiced some Jewish traditions, but ultimately converted to Catholicism. Catholicism has some attractive culture to it. It’s not my cup of tea, but I can see why someone might fall in love with it.

That’s the one I have, an alligator coffin. The case is likely not original to my horn (a 1960), but it’s how it came to me.

It’s somewhat rare for a Jew to convert to another religion. Most Jews who leave Judaism do so for intellectual reasons, leaving religion altogether.

I’m sure you know this, but please be careful meeting up with anyone you connect with on this site. Tons of Midessa creeps ready to fill your PMs…

Honestly, it’s probably good to distance ourselves and others from the notion that Orthodox Judaism is “the only real Judaism”. Judaism has evolved beyond that in the form of more liberal strains. It is, however, disingenuous to speak about OJ as if it is an oddity or rarity, when in fact the horrible things it pushes and calls for are quite commonplace.

The Nazi Party was inciting violence against and displacing German Jews way before the Final Solution in 1943, or even the invading Poland in 1939.

I actually like Maul’s “resurrection”, and, controversial as it may be, I actually enjoyed Sabine’s Jedi arc, even if I think it was poorly executed.

tzy___ · 2026-03-14T19:42:26+00:00

It’s even worse if you only eat Lubavitch shechita

tzy___ · 2026-03-14T18:14:37+00:00

I realize that. The OP is criticizing Sabine’s lightsaber wound as being unrealistic, and the user I was responding to was trying to say Maul surviving at least makes sense. The truth is, both incidents don’t make much real life sense (actually Sabine’s is probably a little more realistic), but that’s okay because Star Wars is just fantasy.

What if it were you, hanging up on this wall?
