*How* does the pasuk trace the lineage of the wicked man for shame?  

2 days ago by joshwaxman

In the beginning of parshat Pinchas, we are told of the identity of the man who was sleeping with Cosbi: יד וְשֵׁם אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמֻּכֶּה, אֲשֶׁר הֻכָּה אֶת-הַמִּדְיָנִית--זִמְרִי, בֶּן-סָלוּא: נְשִׂיא בֵית-אָב, לַשִּׁמְעֹנִי. 14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain wi ...

How atypical is Korach's lineage?  

10 days ago by joshwaxman

I believe it is extremely atypical. And I premised a good part of my analysis of the midrash on that fact. But others may disagree. Thus, Chaim B. of Divrei Chaim commented on my past post: The Torah traces lineage back numerous times and never goes all the way back to the Avos (see Maharal). I repl ...

San Diego Sounds  

10 days ago by mzjackson93

We all have a favorites or only follow one sound. Reggae fans are typically loyal to their sounds, especially when a sound clash (dee-jays battling for a rank) is happening. San Diego has approximately 15 sounds, but I currently only know six or seven that actively play. So I thought I’d list the th ...

What is the big deal of the break in Korach's lineage?  

13 days ago by joshwaxman

Divrei Chaim asks a nice question on Rashi on Korach: The Torah usually does not trace back the lineage of heroes or villains all the way to the P atriarchs. Why here does Rashi see the omission of Ya'akov's name as significant? And even if Ya'akov's name is not mentioned, don't we all know that he ...

Having a “Laid Back Friday,” with Dasheye of T.O.K.  

17 days ago by mzjackson93

I made it to one of many “Laid Back Fridays,” at the Wavehouse to check out the vibes and speak to Dasheye of Tribe of Kings. Approaching the entrance into the venue, I could hear Cualli performing and the sounds of the waves coming from the simulated surfing tank. When I rounded the corner, it look ...

Why does Rashi shift grasshoppers to ants?  

20 days ago by joshwaxman

In Shelach, the spies speak about how they were seen by the residents of the land. Thus, on לג וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ, אֶת-הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק--מִן-הַנְּפִלִים; וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כַּחֲגָבִים, וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶם. 33 And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; ...

Is it Mutar to Cheat (just a little)?  

23 days ago by Avromi

Subscribe to the Daily Daf Yomi Summary here. The braisa had stated: If it is an issar less, it is forbidden. Abaye explains this to mean that the coins cannot be used at its face value if the sela became lacking by an issar more than its price fraud limit. Rava challenges this interpretation, for i ...

Dvar Torah Parshat Korach 2009 5769  

24 days ago by aaron

Chazal tell us that Korach was a wise man. If so, what caused him to rebel against Moshe and arouse so much negative sentiment among the people? On the Pasuk with which Moshe admonishes him and his followers, RAV LACHEM BNEI LEVI, “…you have taken too much, you sons of Levi” (Num. 16,7) Rashi [...]
