Yosher Koach/יושר כוח
Person of the books. In my Rashi era.
Holding on to Jewish delight.
- My class finished tractate Horayot today and the end is 🧑🍳😘 A dilemma was raised before the Sages: Between Rabbi Zeira and Rabba bar Rav Mattana, which of them is preferable? www.sefaria.org/Horayot.14a.6
- Rashi's commentary here strikes me as having more layers than he perhaps intended It's on Lev 20:13 - read to prohibit male homosexual sex (among other readings) www.sefaria.org/Leviticus.20... משכבי אשה. מַכְנִיס כְּמִכְחוֹל בִּשְׁפוֹפֶרֶת: means he inserts as a brush into a tube www.sefaria.org/Rashi_on_Lev...
- In case anyone else was waiting for this to come out to save on shipping: free (media mail) shipping. Now I just have to contend with my impatience for five more months.
- This year, when reading our parshiot two things stuck with me. The first is all these directions for Yom Kippur in the temple brought to mind the Vidui. We confess together to transgressions because we are *all* responsible, in part, for harm done in our society. /1 www.sefaria.org/Machzor_Yom_...
