What does this post mean? Once again, it's difficult to comment, because I understood not a word.
And yes, once again, I, the idiot who can never remember to subscribe to comments, is now going to subscribe to the comments.
i should have warned you - these two posts were rather more incoherent than my usual fare, due to exhaustion and some emotional stress, and reading too many of the sabra's posts.
but thank G-d, a friend of mine heard good news about her father's illness - which she first found out about during the nine days - and i was commenting on the appropriateness of such news right after tishabav, when we approach tubav which signifies renewed life and rebirth.
and come on, the white dresses? you don't get it?
More incoherent than usual? I didn't know that was possible. :)
You talking 'bout polygamy or something?
dude, don't you know your history? white dresses? dancing in vineyards? the origin of sadie hawkins dances? tearing women apart and mailing the pieces across the country? nothing?
Believe you me, I know. I was merely confused by the reference to dresses, in the plural. After all, each girl only needs one, right?
And who's mailing women's body parts across the country? That sounds rather disturbing.
i gather it was disturbing. disturbing enough to excommunicate a tribe. at least until the girls decided to just take matters into their own hands...
That was just the beginning of the problem.
which beginning? which problem?
Notice how as it gets later the comments get shorter and shorter?
And the answer is, "the girls decided to take things into their own hands"
yes. i think it's about time they trickled to a stop. i'm too tired to even attempt being entertaining. and tommorrow is not going to be a picnic.
as for girls taking things into their own hands being a problem, if it wasn't for that, you probably wouldn't be alive today! (can you guess which biblical precedent i'm thinking of?)
Was it worth it at least?
You saying I'm a descendant of Lot?
if it = the last hour or so, and worth it = amusing, then yes.
and no, not lot, although that also would apply, and if you were a descendant of lot, and a jew, would mean you were of the davidic line. which is quite a compliment.
Who were you thinking of?
Statistically, every Jew, besides first generation converts, is a descendant of David. So it's not that much of a compliment.
"if you were a descendant of lot, and a jew, would mean you were of the davidic line"
This statement isn't necessarily correct. You think Ruth is the only woman from Moav to ever convert? What about from Lot's other kid (remind me)?
That would be Ammon.
hey cheerio, i just realized i know your sister! haha. so cute. now i can fit a face to your voice....
ok, trs, ever heard of the women in Egypt? copper mirrors? can you call that NOT taking matters into their own hands? how about tamar? and since we were talking about her, ruth? yehudis?
and explain: statistically, we're all from david?
nemo - true, but saying that had the most dramatic effect.
wannabe - ok, now i want to know who you are! and also, if you're fitting my sister's face to my voice, you have a bit of a surprise waiting when you actually meet me!
hey, no problem, let me know the next time you're in ch, and we'll make a date *wink*
maybe you'll feature me on your other blog :o)
Sorry Cheerio, my mind is not constantly filled with the glorious exploits of women passed, and I didn't remember those ones off the bat. Still, in keeping with my liberally warped/comically inclined mindset, I applaud all women who have put the pants on and gotten the job done.
David live X amount of years ago. He had X number of kids. Each of those had X. Work it out, and according to a prominent Jewish statistician, whose name I remember not, there's plenty of room in the Davidic dynasty for all Jewish men, women, and children. Obviously, if a person is a convert, their chances of being a descendant are lesser, but they're still pretty decent.
that is pretty freaking cool!
Yes. It also means is that any claims that the Rebbe is particularly suited for Messianic leadership because he's descended from David is farcical. I'm not saying that he's not the Messiah, just that this particular reason is bogus.
but then again... just because the descendants of david could = the current amount of jewish people, why would we only be descended from david? what happened to the rest of yehuda and binyamin?
I'm not saying that we are only descended from David; I'm merely pointing out that it's nothing special.
The thought just occurred to me that the Rebbe might in fact say something about the Friedriker Rebbe being from David, though I'm not sure about this. If someone finds a Sicha to this effect, then everything I said earlier is null and void.
cheerio, the theory is nice, but wasn't the entire pack of descendants of david wiped out at one point, besides for one survivor? i don't think the story of bustenie is a complete legend. in other words, the chances are better that one is from yehudah or binyomin than from david-at least in my opinion
ooh trs, outsmarted by a woman! its gotta sting.
Rot and nonsense. I don't mind being outsmarted, even by a female, but this time I ain't. Even if the Bustenai story is true, which I doubt, there are still enough generations for it to work perfectly. As a Shadchanit, Mrs. Wannabe should've appreciated this. Apparently however, she's not quite the marriage expert that one would've expected.
Our tour guide Aharaon Wexler told us that most Jews are from David. If Aharon believes it, it must have some possibility of being true. For those of you who don't know who Aharon is (like Madam Shadchanit)go check out TRS from the beginning of July.
