ellauri336.html on line 507: Why did Kimchis have seven sons who were kohen gadol? Or, why is popa 20 blatt behind. In any event, it isn’t because she covered her hair, as the gemara says ???? ??? ?? ??? ???? ????. Yes, but as those of us 20 behind in the daf know, and as was pointed out in that thread, the 2nd and 3rd became kohen gadol when the first was tamei.
ellauri336.html on line 513: They didnt die. The gemara relates that twice on yom kippur (2 different years) the kohen gadol (her son) had to leave the beis hamikdash, and in the process became tamei requiring his brother to take over. That would account for at least three of her sons serving as kohen gadol with none dead. The story the gemara relates as to how the KG became tamei is not a negative either. The spittle of a non jew landed on him.
ellauri345.html on line 279: Siinä lausunto, jonka pelkkä ilmaisun verenhimoinen mystiikka erottaa joulupukin ajattelutavasta. Toisaalta, kuinka varma on kantilainen selitys, jonka tiukka viittaus avioliiton luonnolliseen huippuhetkeen - seksuaalisuuteen - ei estä hänen jumalallisen - uskollisuutensa logon polkua. Logo soveltuu todella jumalalliselle; se ei luo elämää ilman totuutta eikä riittiä ilman teologiaa. (No tää nyt meni aika hämäräxi gemaraxi - sori siitä.)
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 146: Dybbuk paasaa jakeita ja lainauxia gemarasta midrasista ja muista pyhistä kirjoista. Ilkiö kun on se usein vääntelee pyhiä sanoja niin että ne saavat rivon merkityxen. Kuulostaapa tutulta. Tääkin on paljastavaa: pyhän vastakohta on holtiton lisääntyminen.
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 148: A gemara in Horayot (13a) that contrasts the dog's gratitude to its master with the cat's indifference to its master. Those who have pets testify to the difference in feedback owners receive from cats and dogs. If so, the cat symbolizes the ability to forget our Maker. Rav Kook argues that the damaging and demonic aspects of our existence stem from humanity forgetting the Ribbono Shel Olam. If you want to see demons, bring the tail of a first born black cat, that is the daughter of a first born black cat. Burn it in fire, grind it up, fill your eyes with the ashes and then you will see them. (Berakhot 6b)
xxx/ellauri157.html on line 152: The Gemara is not just a collection of superhero stories. If one searches the gemara for demon stories as one would eagerly anticipate the next Superman comic book, then one has missed the point. The gemara is not an action and adventure story, but a work of religious and ethical instruction. The gemara would not have mentioned the "cat method" for viewing demons if it did not contain some message of religious import. Though it remains a mystery which message.
