Accrochez vous, ça pique les oreilles, enfin les yeux car vous avez la traduction en français.
Le guide Khamenei était quand même plus correct et sympathique hein💫💥

"Modern #textual #scholarship has shown that #ToledotYeshu never existed as a single, fixed #composition. Unlike the #Mishna or the #Talmud, whose textual traditions gradually stabilized through widespread printing, Toledot Yeshu remained fluid for centuries. #Scribes copied from whatever exemplars were available, frequently introducing additions, omissions, stylistic revisions, and entirely new #narrative episodes. Rather than preserving a single "original" version, the #manuscript tradition reflects a living #text continually reshaped by its transmitters.
The #Łomżamanuscript is especially noteworthy because it preserves a substantially expanded #recension. Its elaborate title-page introduction immediately distinguishes it from many simpler copies. Throughout the text, the #Hebrew is unusually polished, employing a consciously #biblical style that lends the narrative an air of #antiquity and #literary refinement."

When the Egyptians were drowning in the Red Sea, the angels in heaven began to break forth in songs of jubilation, but the Holy One, blessed be He, silenced them: “My creatures are perishing — and ye are ready to sing!”

Ja, @1alterBommer - genau gelesen versprach Gott in der biblischen Noah-Geschichte, dass er (!) keine globale Sintflut mehr schicken werde.
Dass wir Menschen durch unsere eigene Gier kein Feuer 🔥 & Verderben über die Menschheit & Mitwelt bringen würden, wird nicht ausgeschlossen…

The full story is “The Lame Man and the Blind Man.”A Jewish parable about two people who each looked powerless alone.
One could see, but could not walk.
One could walk, but could not see.Together, they became dangerous.

"What would happen if you treated the #DeclarationofIndependence the way #Jewish tradition treats its own foundational texts — as documents to be pored and argued over, and put in conversation with ancient sources?
That’s the idea of “#Talmud of #America,” a collection of four #essays #published by the #PardesInstitute of #JewishStudies, and #Faith250, the brainchild of #Rabbi #MichaelHolzman of Northern #Virginia.
“The #Torah is a living document,” Rabbi #LeonMorris, president of #Pardes, told me recently. “Classic Jewish texts have something fresh and relevant to say about everything — including the Declaration of Independence.”
The four essays in “#TalmudofAmerica” — on equality, on “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” on the right of rebellion and on ideas of sacrifice and civic engagement — are written by Pardes #faculty members #YiscahSmith, #LeahRosenthal, #DavidIBernstein and Rabbi #RahelBerkovits."

"In #medieval #Europe, #Jewish scholars were summoned before #Christian authorities and forced to defend the #Talmud against claims that it said things it didn’t. The proceedings, called disputations, were rarely fair and not exactly voluntary.
#HenryRaz, 17, is a #highschool junior in #MarinCounty trying to counter a flood of online videos that claim the Talmud exposes secrets Jewish leaders want to keep hidden and permits #Jews to deceive and kill non-Jews. To #Raz, it looks like the same dynamic as the medieval disputations, adapted to the age of social media algorithms. That’s why he started a #YouTube channel called “#Disputations.”

"#Judaism has long had an ambivalent and at times contradictory approach to #astrology, the practice of discerning the influence of celestial bodies on human destiny.
On the one hand, the claim that the stars exert a direct influence on individuals and world events would seem to cut against the core #Jewish belief in #freewill. The #Torah also forbids efforts to foretell the future. However, #Jews throughout history have believed that the heavenly bodies influence events on earth. References to astrology are found throughout the #Talmud, and several works of astrology were subsequently penned by major #rabbinic figures. Jewish thinkers across history have tried to reconcile these two beliefs, while others have rejected astrology outright."

#DafReactions Chullin 16: Your Teacher Was a Reed Cutter in the Swamp
#MiriamAnzovinShalom, friends!
Today’s page of #Talmud legit asked me to consider: could shechita ever use the creative stylings of John Wick, Rube Goldberg… or Jigsaw?
Plus! Discover why I’ll never think of Rav Pappa as the “small fried fish” guy ever again. 👀 -
"#EishetChayil: Woman of Valor – Heroines of Our History is a commentary on the 22 verses of #Proverbs 31, based on #midrash, the #Talmud, classic #rabbinic texts, and #ChabadHassidut. It is published by #Kehot, the central publishing house of the #Chabad-#Lubavitch movement.
The #book does not merely explain “Eishet Chayil”; it positions it as a sweeping #theological and historical statement about #Jewish #womanhood and Jewish survival. The tone is set early on, with sentences like, “At every critical juncture of our long and challenging history, you will find the fearless and wise eishet chayil shepherding us toward our destiny.”
One of the book’s central claims is clear and consistent: Jewish #history does not merely include #women; it is propelled by them."

"#RavKook’s exceptionalism lies in the fact that his ideas remain relevant even in 2026, reinforcing the impact noted above.
This enduring influence is especially evident in his #writings, which present unique challenges in #translation. Anyone who has used a Soncino translation of the #Talmud knows that translation can leave one with still a long way to go in figuring out the meaning of the original text.
#Rabbi #AryehSklar has addressed this challenge in Rav Kook’s Guide for Today’s Perplexed (#KodeshPress). More than just a translation, #Sklar’s edition includes extensive footnotes to fill in many gaps, adding essential details and context not apparent in the original text.
Adding further depth to the work, the #book itself has a fascinating history. It remained an unpublished #manuscript for more than a century before #Rabbi #ShacharRachmani released it in full in 2014 as For the Perplexed of the Generation (LeNevuchei haDor)."
