What did my last explanation accomplish?  To what does it compare?  Answer: to Orienteering.  

A classic land navigation technique called a resection (using compass azimuths to known landmarks in order to pinpoint your own position on a map). Each and every Mesechta of the Talmud represents a map of a specific area which has clear features easily identifiable; either T’NaCH p’sukim or halachic posok rulings, or the * signs on the side of the page which indicate a different perspective viewpoint based upon a shared גזרה שווה between two – usually more – mesechtot of the Sha’s Bavli.

In the military a 2nd Lieutenant, the equivalent of a private among the grunt enlisted soldiers. This lowest level officer, he’s trained how to “shoot an azimuth (read bearings) with a simple compass. This lapdog of the 20-year First Sergeant, he identifies a known landmark in the terrain ( such as a hilltop, tower, bridge etc ) that also appears clearly upon his map.

He points his compass at that fixed landmark, by aligning the sight line of his compass with the landmark. He then rotates the compass dial till the magnetic needle aligns with the orienting arrow. The number read on the index line – the magnetic azimuth from the 2nd Lieutenant to the landmark.

Orienteering with a compass, requires converting the angle bearing azimuth between the shooting Lieutenant and the known landmark and affixing that azimuth angle as a straight line on a map. If his map reads in grid north and his compass reads magnetic north, he must correct for declination (the difference between grid/true north and magnetic north). Example: If declination is 5° East, he subtracts 5° from his compass azimuth to plot it on the map.

Since the azimuth he shoots with his compass, measured from where he currently stands → landmark, this permits him to draw a straight line which connects the location of himself somewhere along that drawn line on the map with the fixed/known landmark.

To review: An azimuth: a compass bearing that indicates the direction from your current location to a specific landmark. Measured in degrees, with 0° representing true north, 90° east, 180° south, and 270° west.

To Draw a Line Backwards Along Your Azimuth. Our imaginary Lieutenant already measured the azimuth from his position to a landmark. For example, let’s say your azimuth is 60°. Since the azimuth he measured indicates the direction from himself to the landmark, he needs to reverse this direction to find the path from the landmark back to himself.

To do this, you will add or subtract 180° from your original azimuth: If his azimuth – less than 180°, he adds 180°. If his azimuth – greater than 180°, he subtracts 180°. For example: Original azimuth: 60°

Reversed azimuth: 60° + 180° = 240°.

Now that he has reversed the azimuth (in this case, 240°), he can draw a line on his map.

Using a protractor or the compass to measure the 240° angle from true north. Starting from the landmark’s position on the map, he draws a straight line extending in the direction of the reversed azimuth back towards his location. He continues that line across the map as needed. This line represents the path from the landmark back to his original position. By reversing the azimuth, he effectively creates a line that indicates the direction he would need to travel to return to his starting point from that fixed known landmark. This basic technique, essential for navigation in a foreign land in a hostile environment. It allows him to visualize his route back to his original location and therein guide his Platoon where it needs to travel on the map to reach his objective location.

Repeat this technique employing another fixed known physical visible point that likewise the map indicates. Where these to lines cross. This defines the physical location of that imaginary Lieutenant on the Map.

In this משל: the language of the Mishna represents the actual physical field in a hostile unknown enemy environment.  Where as the Gemara with its “T’NaCH p’sukim or halachic posok rulings, or the * signs on the side of the page which indicate a different perspective viewpoint based upon a shared גזרה שווה between two – usually more – mesechtot of the Sha’s Bavli”, represents the map of that imaginary 2nd Lieutenant.

T’NaCH\Talmudic/Midrashic common law scholarship – which bases itself upon the “compass” of rabbi Akiva פרדס and rabbi Yishmael’s 13 middot which teaches how to employ the inductive פרדס logic system which defines the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev, this discipline of learning which your Yeshiva rabbis systematically fail to teach you, most fundamentally represents the skills of shooting azimuths with a compass.  You can do this wisdom with both the Bavli and the Yerushalmi Talmuds as well as with the T’NaCH prophetic mussar.  The latter permits scholars to make an aliyah of positive & negative תולדות commandments – which do not require k’vanna – to Av tohor time-oriented commandments – which do require k’vanna.

Each and every sugya of Gemara on any given Mishna in the Sha’s, that sugya always views the simple language of the Mishna, viewed from a different azimuth bearing. Like the Top\Side/Front views of a blue print.  In the Navy, a submarine fires a torpedo at an enemy ship by shooting an azimuth which connects the ship back to the submarine. To learn Gemara absolutely requires this basic fundamental wisdom. Just that simple. No fancy dance’n.

The Mishna = the landscape itself.

  • It is the “terrain” you stand in — mountain, river, desert, road. It exists independent of whether you know how to read it. The words of the Mishna are the physical topography of halakha.
  • The Gemara = the 2-D map of that terrain.
    Like a topo-map of a mountain, it is not the mountain itself, but a translation of the 3-D world into a 2-D representational system. It gives you bearings, grid lines, azimuths, declinations, and enables triangulation.
    • Yerushalmi vs. Bavli then become two cartographic systems of the same terrain — same Mishnah, same “mountains and rivers,” but each projects differently, emphasizes different features, distorts scale differently.
    • A poor map reader (student) may confuse the representation for the terrain itself — but a seasoned navigator knows you always measure the map back against the actual land (the Mishna).
  • The Compass = Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס and Rabbi Yishmael’s 13 middot.
    The interpretive toolkit is the compass/azimuth instrument. Without it, the map is just lines and colors; with it, the student can align map and terrain, shooting halakhic bearings across sugyot.
  • Orienteering = Talmud Torah.
    The act of learning Gemara is not “reading a book” but an orienteering expedition:
    • You fix on known landmarks (פסוקים, halakhic precedents, גזירה שווה links).
    • You shoot azimuths (apply hermeneutic rules).
    • You plot bearings (develop sugyot).
    • You triangulate (resolve contradictions, locate the halakhic ruling).

This משל has another deep implication:
Just as a map is never complete without terrain verification, so too Gemara never stands alone without Mishna. Likewise, Mishna without Gemara is like standing lost in wilderness without a map — you can see features, but you can’t orient.

One Azimuth = No Fixed Position

  • If a soldier shoots an azimuth from his position to only one known landmark, he can only know that he is somewhere along that line.
  • Likewise, if a learner studies one sugya in isolation, he only knows the halakha in a one-dimensional line — the ruling seems clear, but his “position” is not fixed, because halakha is not confirmed by one sugya alone.

2. Two Azimuths = Cross-Fix (But Still Weak)

  • By shooting a second azimuth to a different landmark, the lieutenant gets a crossing point — a fix on his position. But if the lines are nearly parallel, his fix is unstable.
  • In Torah terms: when a sugya is compared to a second sugya (often in a different masechet), the גזירה שווה or תקדים functions as a second azimuth. It “crosses” the first line, creating an interpretive fix. Still, sometimes the rulings align too closely, and the fix is not precise — ambiguities remain.

3. Three Azimuths = Reliable Triangulation

  • In military land navigation, the gold standard is three azimuths from three widely separated landmarks. Where they cross, the “cocked hat” triangle gives a very precise location.
  • In Gemara, halakha achieves its strongest fix when at least three sugyot converge:
    1. The Mishna (terrain itself).
    2. The parallel sugya in another masechet (a gezeirah shavah or case law precedent).
    3. A psak halakha anchored in T’NaCH (פסוק or prophetic mussar).

This triple bearing yields a stable halakhic precedent — you know exactly where you are standing in the landscape of Torah.

4. Precedent = Triangulation

  • Just as no officer would guide his platoon with only one azimuth, no dayan or posek can guide Israel with only one sugya.
  • תקדים is the halakhic equivalent of “where the lines cross” — the fixed point of law established when multiple independent sugyot all indicate the same conclusion.
  • This is why חז”ל always return to the principle אין לדיין אלא מה שעיניו רואות — like the lieutenant with his compass, the dayan’s authority rests not in code or statute, but in his measured fix upon the map of Torah using precedent.

5. Yerushalmi + Bavli = Different Map Projections

Sometimes the Bavli gives one azimuth, and the Yerushalmi another. They are not contradictory so much as two lines drawn from different reference grids. By comparing them, you refine your fix, just as comparing two different maps of the same terrain can clarify distortions.

  • Azimuth = Sugya insight.
  • Multiple azimuths = Precedent.
  • Intersection = Halakhic fix.
  • Terrain = Mishna.
  • Map = Gemara.
  • Compass = 13 Middot / פרדס.
The entire Oral Torah operates like orienteering: only by triangulating sugyot through precedent can we locate ourselves securely in the halakhic landscape.

SHOCK: Trump meets Weidel in Budapest – Europe GOES AWOL!

Alice Weidel is a prominent German politician and the co-leader of the far-right political party Alternative for Germany (AfD). As of May 6, 2025, she serves as the Leader of the Opposition in the Bundestag, representing the largest party not in government. Weidel has gained significant attention for her role in shaping the AfD’s policies and public image, particularly regarding immigration and national identity. In the recent federal elections, the AfD made significant gains, becoming the second-largest party in the Bundestag with approximately 20.8% of the vote. This marked a historic moment for the party, as it was the first time its votes influenced national policy.

The situation surrounding the Druzhba pipeline, which is crucial for Hungary’s oil supply, has escalated recently due to Ukrainian military actions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has indicated that strikes on the pipeline are linked to Hungary’s refusal to support Ukraine’s EU accession efforts. This has led to significant tensions between Ukraine and Hungary, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressing strong discontent over the attacks.

The Druzhba pipeline, which supplies oil to Hungary and Slovakia, has been targeted multiple times by Ukrainian forces. These strikes are seen as a response to Hungary’s veto on Ukraine’s EU membership negotiations. Orbán has described these actions as “blackmail and threats,” warning of long-term consequences for Ukraine-Hungary relations. Orbán has condemned the attacks, stating that they threaten Hungary’s energy security and are unacceptable. He has called on the European Commission to intervene and ensure the protection of EU member states’ energy interests.

The EU’s response to this crisis has been criticized by Hungary, which feels that its vital interests are not being adequately supported. The ongoing conflict has highlighted divisions within the EU regarding how to handle Ukraine’s membership aspirations and the geopolitical implications of energy security. This conflict over the Druzhba pipeline underscores the complex interplay of energy security, national interests, and geopolitical maneuvering in Eastern Europe. Hungary’s reliance on Russian oil and its political stance towards Ukraine complicate the broader EU response to the ongoing war and the future of Ukraine’s integration into European structures. The situation remains fluid, with potential for further escalation or diplomatic efforts to resolve the tensions.

The opening sugya of mesechta קידושין.

“Can’t see the forest for the trees” – being so focused on small details that you lose sight of the bigger picture. The trees – all the halachot raised in each and every sugya of Gemara. The forest the common law basis wherein the Talmud serves as the model to re-establish common law courts of Sanhedrin Legislative Review of all government statute laws. This summates my criticism of the statute law codes; how they utterly corrupted how Yeshiva education became all corrupted and Fubar.  The more polite definition of the latter Army military euphemism –  “Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition”. But when a jarhead employs the term, he means: “fucked up beyond all repair”.

The assimilated statute halachic codes, focus upon making a D’sok Halacha. In the case of the Rambam Fubar – straight from the Talmud itself. In the Case of the far weaker – copy-cat – halachic statute codifications of the Tur and Shulkan Aruch – they organized a codification of Reshonim opinion upon any given halacha from the Talmud. Why does assimilated statute halacha pervert the Talmud and Reshonim commentaries upon the Talmud into a fubar? Several reasons: 1. They rely upon the syllogism deductive logic developed by Aristotle and Plato. This substitute theology of logic, it replaces the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s revolutionary interpretation of the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev unto פרדס. No different, what so ever, from the ערב רב שיצאו ממצרים. The latter Jews the Torah during the reading prior to Purim which remembers the tohor middah of רחום. Specifically, the commandment to war against Amalek in all generations. רחום — עמלק, represents a כלל — פרט in how the corollary 13 middot of rabbi Yishmael amplify the פרדס kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s understanding of how the Oral Torah revelation interpret the kvanna of the Written Torah.

The Torah description of Jews as אין להם יראת אלהים – the first inference to “Fear of Heaven” in the Book of שמות. The later prophets mussar refers to assimilated Israel as אנשי סדום. They too lacked “fear of heaven” as the Book of בראשית introduces. בעל שם טוב: This term פרט, refers to the founder of Hasidic Judaism, Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov.  However this term כלל, refers to the pursuit of a righteous Good Name reputation. Post Shoah Xtianity permanently lost the claim to a moral good name reputation. Hence: יראת שמים the Talmud directly applies to both a Torah sofer and a shochet.  The mitzva of kashrut, spins around public trust based upon יראת שמים.

The rediscovery of the concealed Ancient Greek texts which caused the Hanukkah Civil War which pitted the P’rushim against the Tzeddukim; when Muslim Armies invaded Spain in approximately 900, during the lifetime of Saadia ben Joseph, 882–942 CE. These rediscovered ancient Greek writings caused the Jews of Spain to emphatically embrace Greek deductive logic. This triggered the “Golden Age” of Spanish Reshonim T’NaCH and Talmudic scholarship!!! Alas the bards (Robert Plant (lyrics) and Jimmy Page (music) who wrote the song  “Stairway to Heaven”, declared: sometimes words have two meanings.)  טיפש פשט by stark contrast gets all hyper in their diaper over the obvious ‘bird brained’ ‘brain-washed’ meaning. 

How the Orthodox make a simplistic understanding of the בראשית Creation story, functions as a פרט example.  Another פרט example:  Yeshiva bukkarim saying (all the time) מה פשט?
The false ideal to simplify or stupify abstract T’NaCH and Talmudic common law, simply brain dead.  The Siddur serves as the foundation of all Talmudic scholarship.  Just that simple.  No fancy dance’n.  The Siddur stands upon the יסוד of ORDER.  The ORDER of פרדס inductive logic, not the same as the ORDER of Aristotle’s syllogism – deductive logic.  The assimilated statute law halachic codes – they shatter the ORDER of T’NaCH and Talmudic common law.

A three-part syllogism is a form of logical reasoning that consists of three statements: two premises and a conclusion. It is a classic structure used in deductive reasoning, often associated with the philosopher Aristotle. 

Hegel’s bi-polar dialectics and Aristotle’s syllogism represent two distinct approaches to logic and reasoning, each with its own philosophical underpinnings and implications.  Hegel’s dialectics is a process of development through contradictions. It involves a triadic structure often summarized as thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. The thesis represents an initial idea or state, the antithesis is its contradiction or negation, and the synthesis resolves the conflict between the two, leading to a higher understanding or state.  

Hegel’s approach emphasizes change and development. Ideas evolve through conflict and resolution, reflecting the complexity of reality. This process is not linear but rather cyclical, where each synthesis can become a new thesis, leading to further contradictions and resolutions.  This late 19th Century German philosophy served as the logic foundation of Marx’s theory of Communism as a response to the Industrial Revolution.  “Revolution” implies the over-throw of the ‘Old Order’.  

What defines the “Old Order” of the Middle Ages?  The economies of the Middle Ages made wealth through the Order of village communes, known as feudalism, wherein the aristocratic lords produced wealth through agricultural production.  The Industrial Revolution over-threw that ‘Old Order’, and replaced it by the production of wealth through Industrial production of goods and services.  This cause a mass population transfer from peasant living in village communes tied to working for their lords.  To citizens with political rights who lived and worked within the factories within huge cities.

To understand the difference between rabbi Akiva’s פרדס inductive logic from Aristotle’s deductive logic, fundamentally requires comparing the two viewed from a fair larger “BIG PICTURE” context.  The two-dimensional halachic statute law codes, they compare to looking at a camera picture rather than actually seeing the event captured by the picture.  The question מה פשט?  Simply ideal for the two-dimensional deductive reasoning of Greek deductive logic.  

The mitzva of lighting the lights of Hanukkah – the dedication to interpret the Written Torah through, and only through, the inductive logic of פרדס; the latter defines the culture and customs practiced by the chosen Cohen seed of the Avot throughout all generations.  The passage of this Cohonim culture and customs from generation, to generation, to generation – defines the k’vanna of תחיית המתים.  As does similar, marriage with the purpose to produce children and educate them to keep the cultures and customs of the chosen Cohen people.  The mitzva of קידושין.

Rabbi Akiva’s inductive logic system directly compares to a Loom.  A Loom essential in the construction of the Mishkan.  As a Loom as its warp & weft opposing threads, the “fabric” of the T’NaCH and Talmud contains the Aggada threads of prophetic mussar contrasted by the Halachic threads of practical halachic ritualism.  Weaving the two opposing strands creates time oriented commandments which require k’vanna.  

The Rambam, Tur, and Shulkan Aruch deductive logic divorces halacha from aggada.  Worse, the Prime assimilated Reshon Spanish רשע, his code uprooted halacha from its Home Mishna.  The commentaries on the Rambam Code, in their assimilated darkness, failed to affix any Rambam halacha to the B’hag, Rif, or Rosh common law codes.  The latter understood that the Gemarah halachot serve as the “70 faces to the Torah”, they view the language of the Home Mishna from different perspectives to make depth re-interpretations of the obvious פשט language of the Home Mishna!  

This criticism, equally applies to Rabbeinu Tam the leader of the Baali Tosafot common law commentary upon the Talmud.  Going off the dof in search of a legal precedent permits the scholar to view his sugya of Gemara based upon a radically different perspective – “70 faces to the Torah”.  However, the Baali Tosafot commentaries, approximately 60 common law scholars, failed to make the required משנה תורה and make a “Legislative Review” of the language of the Home Mishna which the Gemara comments by way of comparing precedent cases!

Rashi’s common law commentary to the Chumash – radically differs from Rashi’s dictionary like פשט commentary to the Talmud.  For this reason Rabbeinu Tam challenged the Rashi commentary made upon the Talmud.  The question stands:  Why did Rashi change from his common law פשט based upon T’NaCH and Talmudic Bavli and Yerushalmi precedent to writing a dictionary of terms to explain the language of the Talmud?  Answer:  Rashi witnessed the 1st Crusades and the slaughter of the Jews in Germany.  Rabbeinu Tam died before the Rambam published his statute law abomination in approximately 1185.  The Baali Tosafot placed the Rambam into נידוי in Paris 1232.  A decade later, the Pope and King of France burned all the Talmudic manuscripts in Paris.  

King Philip IV of France (also known as Philip the Fair) expelled all Jews from France in 1306. This uprooted and destroyed the Rashi/Tosafot common law school of T’NaCH and Talmudic scholarship. Whereas the P’rushim defeated the assimilated Tzeddukiim, which the lights of Hanukkah remember; the Rambam forced Rabbeinu Yonah to write Shari Tshuva. Rashi feared the Goyim might learn how to study the Talmud as common law. Therefore he concealed this basic kabbalah limited only to his commentary to the Chumash. He did not even extend it to his commentaries upon the NaCH or Midrash!

The Jews in ארץ ישראל possessed the wisdom, how to obey Torah mitzvot לשמה.  The Jews in living under the Torah Av tumah curse of g’lut, did not possess the wisdom, how to obey Torah mitzvot לשמה.  A simple מאי נפקא מינא, just that simple.  No fancy dance’n.  (Hence I refuse to travel to g’lut lands because I know I would immediately eat treif foods pork and shrimp yum yum.)

The כלל to anything in life, but most especially to T’NaCH and Talmudic scholarship לשמה – ORDER.  The Siddur functions as the יסוד upon which both the T’NaCH prophetic mussar and Talmudic halachah stand.  Just that simple.  No fancy dance’n.  Therefore, sugya integrity defines how to study and learn both T’NaCH and Talmud.  This discipline of scholarship known, as taught to me by Rav Nemuraskii, as learning through a sh’itta.

The internal ORDER of each and every sugya of Gemara – throughout the Sha’s Bavli and Yerushalmi.  Post Shoah, Xtianity and Islam have destroyed their Good Name reputations.  Jews have reconquered our homeland.  Goyim rot as stinking Palestinian dhimmi refugees and Xtians wait for the 2nd coming of their Gods.  What struck fear in Rashi and Rabbeinu Tam, no longer exists.  The shoe worn on the other foot today. 

Can our generations achieve self-determination in our Homeland and make the Torah the Constitution of our Republic of 12 Tribes?  Can we build the lateral Sanhedrin Federal Court System of common law Legislative Review?  These two fundamental questions shape and define Jewish identity today.  The purpose of T’NaCH and Talmudic scholarship today does not resemble the Reshonim need to codify a Jewish religion for Jewish communities scattered across g’lut having little or no communication between communities.  Today we can communicate in seconds what Jews then took perhaps generations!  The reality of the times determines the Halacha.  This issue which confronts our generations today, can we bring a re-birth to the chosen people, the Cohen sons and daughters of the Avot?

This Mesechta of Gemara includes the commentary of the Ran רבינו נסים.  He merits respect perhaps on par with the B’HaG, Rif, Rosh, and Tosafot.  If Spain produced a ‘Golden Age’, perhaps he best defines it.  The Ran emphasized the importance of the oral tradition and the interpretations of earlier authorities, including the Baali Tosafot.  The Ran did not support the cherem (excommunication) issued by the Baali Tosafot against the Rambam’s works, but he did align with the concerns raised by the Rosh (Rabbi Asher ben Jehiel) and others regarding the potential implications of the Rambam’s rationalist approach. The Rosh was particularly critical of the Rambam’s philosophical ideas and their impact on Jewish faith.

Rabbi Asher ben Jehiel, the Rosh, openly critical of the Rambam and supported the cherem against his works, viewing them as a threat to traditional Jewish beliefs. He believed that the Rambam’s rationalism could lead to heretical ideas.  The Ran, while critical of certain elements of the Rambam’s philosophy, maintained a more nuanced position, recognizing the value of the Rambam’s legal contributions while also advocating for adherence to traditional interpretations and the authority of earlier scholars.

The distinction between Jewish common law (halacha) and Roman statute law is an important aspect of legal theory, particularly in the context of medieval Jewish scholarship.  Jewish Common Law (Halacha): This refers to the body of Jewish law derived from the Torah, Talmud, and later rabbinic interpretations. It is often characterized by its case-based nature, where legal principles are derived from specific cases and precedents.  Roman Statute Law: This refers to the codified laws of the Roman legal system, which organized legal principles into systematic categories. Roman law had a more formalized structure, with clear definitions and classifications.

The Rosh emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of Jewish law as distinct from external legal systems, such as Roman law. He was critical of the Rambam’s codification efforts, particularly in the Mishneh Torah, which he felt could blur the lines between Jewish common law and alien legal traditions developed by both the Greek and Roman civilizations.

The Ran, while respecting the Rambam’s contributions, did not emphasize the same differentiation between Jewish common law and Roman statute law. His approach was more focused on the practical application of halacha and the integration of various legal sources, including the Rambam’s codification.

The differing approaches of the Ran and the Rosh reflect broader debates within Jewish legal thought about the nature of halacha, the influence of external legal systems, and the importance of maintaining a distinct Jewish legal identity. The Rosh’s emphasis on the uniqueness of Jewish law contrasts with the Ran’s more integrative approach, highlighting the complexities of legal scholarship in medieval Judaism.

Rabbi Moses ben Jacob of Coucy, the Baali Mor, wrote a commentary critical of the Rif common law commentary written upon the Talmud. He learn the Gemara as precedent halachot by which a person could re-interpret the original language of the Mishna. Hence he learned by reliance upon other Primary Source precedents to understand the language of the Talmud viewed from multiple perspectives. Like the Front/Top\Side views of a blue-print. His chief criticism on the Rif, that his code diminished the depth fluidity of inductive logic reasoning which compares Case/Law to similar precedent Case/Law. The Baali Mor emphasized the importance of studying the Gemara as a source of halachic precedent. He believed that the Gemara should be used to reinterpret the original language of the Mishnah, allowing for a deeper understanding of the legal principles involved.  

A Baali Mor’s chief criticism(s) of the Rif – that his codification diminished the depth and fluidity of inductive reasoning in halachic analysis. The Rif’s structured approach, caused scholars to read his p’sok halacha in a simplified טיפש פשט sh’itta, which confused the inductive vs. deductive reasoning dispute which the Rambam later exploded into a bitter Jewish Civil War.  Court room common law makes ‘compare and contrast’ essential for inductive reasoning.  Essential for deriving legal principles from specific precedent Case instances.  

The Baali Mor advocated for a more dynamic interpretation of halacha, where the law is not seen as static but rather as adaptable to different circumstances.  Talmud in his opinion serves as the model for later common law court room jurisprudence.  This perspective encourages ongoing interpretation and application of halachic principles based on the complexities of real-life situations.  His critique of the Rif highlights the ongoing dialogue within Jewish scholarship about what right then required prioritization. 

Religious halachic codifications vs. the fluidity of legal reasoning which differentiate the brief precedents brought by the prosecution vs. the defense.  In practical terms he differentiates and prioritizes Judicial common law courts from religious codifications.  The latter permits the common man in scattered g’lut communities to easily determine and shape religious halachic faith.  The RambaN wrote מלחמת השם because he recognized the dire needs of g’lut Jews scattered abroad to have access to clear codes of Jewish ritual religious law.

Sugya integrity defines the substance of all Talmudic common law scholarship.  The Rambam Code destroyed this יסוד, like as does Dof Yomi today.  Sugya integrity has an opening and closing thesis statement.  All points of halacha raised in the body of the sugya must fit somewhere on the sh’itta “line” which connects the dots between the opening thesis statement and the closing restatement of the same thesis statement … משנה תורה.  The opening sugya starts on dof .ב and concludes at dof :ג.  The language of the Mishna which requires a משנה תורה re-interpretation of the original language: האשה נקנית בג’ דרכים וקונה את עצמה בב’ דרכים.

The opening thesis statement: האשה נקנית.  מאי שנא הכא דתני האשה נקנית ו ומה שכתב התם דתני האיש מקדש משום דקא בעי למיתני דתני ה כסף. Compare this to the closing משנה תורה restatement of the Opening thesis statement: מה יבמה שאינה יוצאת בגט יוציא בחליצה קמ”ל. ואימא ה”נ אמר קרא ספר כריתות. ספר כירתה, ואין דבר אחר כורתה Now the question stands: How does the closing thesis statement amplify the opening this statement?
The phrase “A woman is acquired” refers to the legal framework of marriage in Jewish law (halacha). However, it is crucial to understand that this term does not imply that a woman is treated as a commodity or object like a slave or a prostitute. Instead, it reflects the formal legal process of marriage, which involves mutual consent and specific actions.  A Jewish woman is not comparable to a slave or a whore because her acquisition in marriage is based on mutual respect, commitment, and legal obligations. The concept of acquisition in marriage (kiddushin) is fundamentally different from the transactional nature of slavery or prostitution.

Hence the closing thesis statement makes a מאי נפקא מינא separation/distinction between קידושין and חליצה.  These two points establish the sh’itta line of all the rest of the subject matter raised in the body of this the opening Mishna of קידושין.  

קידושין: יום הששי ויכלו השמים והארץ וכל צבאם ויכל אלהים ביום השביעי מלאכתו אשר עשה וישבת ביום השביעי מכל מלאכתו אשי עשה ויברך אלהים את יום השביעי ויקדש אותו כי בו שבת מכל מלאכתו אשר ברא אלהים לעשות

The soul name אלהים makes a סוד reference to the Avot. As does the 3 Divine Names in the p’suk of kre’a shma. The soul name אלהים affixes to Yom Tov Yom Ha’Kippur. The mitzva of shabbat, a person ideally remembers the three oaths wherein the Avot cut a oath brit alliance (time-oriented commandment) which תמיד מעשה בראשית continually and forever creates the chosen Cohen people from nothing.

Erev shabbat a Man says this blessing to his wife. The mitzva of קידושין inherently contains the k’vanna for a couple to have children and to educate these children in the basics of the oath alliance brit faith which defines the cultural identity of the chosen cohen people distinct from all other goyim. The study of T ‘NaCH, Talmud, Siddur, and Midrashim does NOT organize law into neat categories and subject matter. Rather Oral Torah shines as the definition of the cultures and customs of the chosen Cohen people which forever separates this הבדלה cohen people from the goyim. Hence the mitzva of קידושין not in the least applicable to goyim. An exceptionally important מאי נפקא מינא של רוב חסד.

Neither Aristotle nor Rambam grasped the inductive reasoning wisdom of פרדס kabbalah of the Oral Torah 13 middot. The Order of the Talmud has a warp/weft loom of halacha vs. aggada; together they forge the fabric of the culture and customs practiced by the chosen Cohen people, seed of Avraham, Yitzak, and Yaacov.

The avoda zarah of the Roman forgery new testament prioritizes their false messiah above the oaths sworn by the Avot unto our Tribal God HaShem. The so-called daughter religions of Xtianity and Islam worship a Universal Monotheism god. Mesechta avoda zarah teaches that the Goyim rejected the Torah at Sinai. Their substitute theology, duplicates the sin of the Golden Calf wherein the ערב רב, שאין להם יראת שמים substituted the soul name אלהים as a replacement for the שם השם רוח הקודש. The Spirit Divine Presence Name simply not a word translation substitute. Nothing in the Heavens Earth or Seas compares to the רוח הקודש שם השם לשמה; and only the Yatzir Ha’Tov within the bnai brit heart can breath the שם השם לשמה. No word substitute compares to the revelation of the first Sinai commandment Name. All the other Torah and Talmudic commandments and halachot depend on the central question: Do you do mitzvot לשמה – כן או לא?

No amount of shoe-box superficial knowledge can conceal the nakedness of Adam after he ate from the forbidden fruit. Kosher שחיטה does not depend upon a persons knowledge on the subject – like as the Rambam halacha falsely indicates. Rather kosher שחיטה absolutely dependent upon the fear of heaven a man has within his heart. The אפיקורס slaughters animals with his Yatzir Ha’Rah. Where a man with fear of heaven breaths the spirit of his Yatzir Ha’tov when he slaughters cattle. A fundamental מאי נפקא מינא. Just that simple. No fancy dance’n.

A person who sits in Yeshiva and learns all day and refuses to do national service compares to the fool who cannot discern one tohor middah אל from other tohor middot ‘רחום וחנון וכו. Such an arrogant fool cannot discern tohor middot from tumah middat spirits which continuously wrestle from within his heart. Middot — they define Jewish T’NaCH\Talmud spirituality. Just that simple. No fancy dance’n.

Let us now address the בנין אב יסוד ויקרא כה:יד. The sugya which holds this פרט p’suk: ויקרא כה: ח – כד. The mitzva of קידושין compares to the freedom and joy of the Yovel where a slave returns to his family a free man. Clearly an agriculturally based economy which acquires wealth through crops has a different value for money than does an industrial based economy wherein wealth primarily acquired through industrial production of goods.

Serfs, peasants classically bound to the land in the feudal service to their lords, does not compare to a citizen who has Constitutional rights and lives in large cities. The perspective of living in a small commune kibbutz does not resemble the life of living in Tel Aviv. The country bumpkin does not compare to the city slicker.

This stark awareness separates Jewish common law from Greek/Roman statute law. Statute law compares to a McDonald’s Hamburger sold in a cardboard box. Jewish common law prioritized not a specific mesechta but rather how the Sanhedrin courts rule through common law precedents. For this reason the Gemara on any given Mishna transverses the whole of the Sha’s. The interest of common law scholarship employs a specific subject as the means to study how Sanhedrin courts of law make common law judicial rulings.

As the Yovel stand distinct from the other years of farming and trade, so too T’NaCH/Talmudic common law inductive logic stands distinct from Greek/Roman statute law deductive logic. This sugya only has one שם השם. In the repeating cycle of counting the Name on a 13 middot basis this שם השם the 3rd or אל רוח שם השם. Inductive reasoning compares Case/Din to similar Case/Din. Torah and NaCH study prophetic mussar.

A shallow introduction of prophetic mussar. Who were the prophets? שפטים ושותרים they represent Sanhedrin courtroom justices and prophet enforcer police. A prophet had the Torah constitutional mandate to depose kings! Like as did Shmuel did Shaul. Prophets served as the enforcers of Sanhedrin Legislative Review over Government statute laws.

The ספר ויקרא instructs precedent תולדות מצוות שלא צריך כוונה. As any דיני נפשות case requires two witnesses so too the מצוה קידושין requires no less than two witnesses. This mitzva, like tefillah actively entails swearing a Torah oath. Swearing a Torah oath qualifies as a דיני נפשות Sanhedrin capital crimes court. The gemara of Sanhedrin learns that the floods in the days of Noach, the result of people swearing false oaths. Therefore shall make a precedent search in the Book of D’varim, and look for a sugya which contains the 3rd שם השם – אל. Inductive reasoning compares similar cases, something like a rifle employes a front and rear sight. By simply aligning the two sights a person can aim down range.

A near precedent Parshat שפטים ושטרים that opening sugya contains the middot of אל ורחום. What defines שחד? Vertical courtrooms where the State pays the salary of the Justices of the courts and the prosecuting attorneys! An exact precedent דברים כד:יד-טו. Don’t oppress, respect human dignity. Do not cause those who are weak to fall into despair.

This method of scholarship attempts to duplicate how the Aggada stories amplify the halachic precedents employed to make a re-interpretation of the language of the Mishna. Just as a blue-print presents a Front/Top\Side views of a building the contractor seeks to build, so too פרדס inductive reason perceives 70 faces to the Torah; something like the facets of a diamond.

Deductive logic much more two-dimensional. The halachic codes of the assimilated Reshonim rabbis, do not need to name names, their halacha limited to robotic actions which have no soul. This assimilated statute law breaths no life. Now weigh ספר ישעיה ה:א – ז. The comparison of a man and wife to a vineyard.

קידושין

יום הששי ויכלו השמים והארץ וכל צבאם ויכל אלהים ביום השביעי מלאכתט אשר עשה

וישבת ביום השביעי מכל מלאכתו אשר עשה ויברך אלהים את יום השביעי ויקדש אותו כי בו שבת מכל מלאכתו אשר ברא אלהים לעשות

The soul name אלהים makes a סוד reference to the Avot. As does the 3 Divine Names in the p’suk of kre’a shma. The soul name אלהים affixes to Yom Tov Yom Ha’Kippur. The mitzva of shabbat, a person ideally remembers the three oaths wherein the Avot cut a oath brit alliance (time-oriented commandment) which תמיד מעשה בראשית continually and forever creates the chosen Cohen people from nothing.

Erev shabbat a Man says this blessing to his wife. The mitzva of קידושין inherently contains the k’vanna for a couple to have children and to educate these children in the basics of the oath alliance brit faith which defines the cultural identity of the chosen cohen people distinct from all other goyim. The study of T ‘NaCH, Talmud, Siddur, and Midrashim does NOT organize law into neat categories and subject matter. Rather Oral Torah shines as the definition of the cultures and customs of the chosen Cohen people which forever separates this הבדלה cohen people from the goyim. Hence the mitzva of קידושין not in the least applicable to goyim. An exceptionally important מאי נפקא מינא של רוב חסד.

Neither Aristotle nor Rambam grasped the inductive reasoning wisdom of פרדס kabbalah of the Oral Torah 13 middot. The Order of the Talmud has a warp/weft loom of halacha vs. aggada; together they forge the fabric of the culture and customs practiced by the chosen Cohen people, seed of Avraham, Yitzak, and Yaacov.

The avoda zarah of the Roman forgery new testament prioritizes their false messiah above the oaths sworn by the Avot unto our Tribal God HaShem. The so-called daughter religions of Xtianity and Islam worship a Universal Monotheism god. Mesechta avoda zarah teaches that the Goyim rejected the Torah at Sinai. Their substitute theology, duplicates the sin of the Golden Calf wherein the ערב רב, שאין להם יראת שמים substituted the soul name אלהים as a replacement for the שם השם רוח הקודש. The Spirit Divine Presence Name simply not a word translation substitute. Nothing in the Heavens Earth or Seas compares to the רוח הקודש שם השם לשמה; and only the Yatzir Ha’Tov within the bnai brit heart can breath the שם השם לשמה. No word substitute compares to the revelation of the first Sinai commandment Name. All the other Torah and Talmudic commandments and halachot depend on the central question: Do you do mitzvot לשמה – כן או לא?

The Gaza War complexities

The conflict in Ukraine has led to one of the largest refugee crises in Europe since World War II, with millions fleeing to neighboring countries. In contrast, while Gaza has seen significant displacement, the scale is different due Egyptian and Jordan both closing their borders to Gaza Arab refugee populations. Egypt and Jordan, which share borders with Gaza, have historically been reluctant to open their borders to large numbers of Palestinian refugees. This has resulted in significant challenges for those displaced by conflict in Gaza, as they often have limited options for safe relocation.

In the case of Gaza, concerns about security, political stability, and the potential for increased tensions in host countries play a significant role in border policies. 1970 Black September where the king of Jordan expelled Arafat’s PLO unto Lebanon triggered the Lebanese Civil War. After Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Palestinian refugee population there side with the invading Iraqis.

Egypt and Jordan’s reluctance to open their borders to Gazan refugees stems from concerns about security and the potential for increased internal domestic tensions which threaten to rip the fabric of both nations civilizations. The fear of destabilizing their own political situations plays a significant role in their border policies. As a result of these border policies, Gazans facing displacement due to conflict have limited options for safe relocation. This exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, as many are trapped in a conflict zone with restricted access to essential services and aid.

It looks like President Trump shall reverse the progressive Wilson alliance made through Federal Reserve secret massive loans given to England and France that forced the US to forge an alliance with both countries in WWI and WWII. Hopefully President Trump will close down the 3rd National Bank – the Federal Reserve – and restore Jacksonian free banking and gold standard back to the United States revolutionary rejection of British dominance over the US economy.

Keir Starmer LOSES IT After Donald Trump Exposes Him

There is ongoing speculation about Keir Starmer’s ability to lead the Labour Party effectively, especially in light of challenges such as economic issues and public dissatisfaction. Some reports suggest that if he does not improve the party’s standing, questions about his leadership may arise. The Labour Party is facing significant challenges, including potential losses in upcoming elections and internal dissent regarding policies. This has led to discussions about the possibility of a leadership change if Starmer cannot navigate these issues successfully. Opinion polls indicate that Starmer’s government is struggling to impress the public, which adds to the pressure on his leadership.

There have been significant protests in the UK, particularly against the government’s handling of asylum seekers, which has led to public demonstrations across various cities. These protests indicate a growing discontent among the populace, contributing to a sense of political unrest. Keir Starmer, as Prime Minister, is facing criticism and challenges related to his leadership and the Labour Party’s position on various issues, including the protests. The political climate is charged, with discussions about his ability to manage dissent within his party and the public.

King Charles has been involved in discussions regarding the unrest and has called for unity in the face of the challenges posed by the protests. His role as a neutral monarch adds a layer of complexity to the political dynamics, especially during times of crisis.

TRUMP TEARS INTO FRANCE HYPOCRISY 🇫🇷 #donaldtrump #trump #shorts

Greg Sheridan calling out the Albanese government for “monumental failures” in foreign policy. Greg Sheridan is an Australian journalist and author known for his work in foreign affairs and international relations. He has been a prominent figure in Australian media, particularly as the foreign editor for The Australian newspaper. Sheridan has written extensively on topics such as geopolitics, defense, and Australia’s role in global affairs.

In addition to his journalism, he has authored several books that explore themes related to international relations and Australia’s strategic interests. His insights often reflect a deep understanding of the complexities of global politics, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.

Sheridan specifically mentioned that Australia now has “zero influence” with Israel, indicating a significant concern about the government’s ability to maintain strong diplomatic relations. This critique reflects broader discussions about Australia’s foreign policy direction under the Albanese administration, particularly in relation to its alliances and international standing. Overall, Sheridan’s comments highlight a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction with the current government’s handling of foreign relations, particularly in the context of Australia’s historical ties with allies like the United States and Israel.

Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Sir Keir Starmer of rewarding Hamas with his plans to recognize a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly criticized the Albanese government’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state unless certain conditions are met. He described this move as rewarding “Hamas’s monstrous terrorism.”

Netanyahu’s comments were made during a podcast appearance, where he expressed strong disapproval of the UK government’s stance, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict and violence perpetrated by Hamas. In his remarks, Netanyahu emphasized that recognizing a Palestinian state under the current circumstances would be tantamount to rewarding a group that has committed severe acts of pogrom like terrorism against Israel.

Gaza War News

Egypt has deployed additional troops along its border with Gaza amid rising tensions and concerns about the humanitarian impact of the ongoing conflict. Reports indicate that approximately 40,000 soldiers have been mobilized in North Sinai, which is nearly double the number permitted under the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty. This deployment follows direct orders from President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and is described as being in a heightened state of alert. Egyptian propaganda declares that Cairo worried about the potential for Israel to occupy Gaza City, which could lead to a mass exodus of Palestinians toward the Egyptian border. The Egyptian military has reportedly deployed armored vehicles, air defense systems, and special forces to key locations near the border, including Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid. This a far cry from a division of heavy tanks and artillery. Egyptian officials have communicated to Israel that these military measures are purely defensive, aimed at securing the border amid escalating tensions. This situation is evolving, and Egypt’s military posture reflects its commitment to preventing any forced displacement of Palestinians into its territory.

The utter and total bankruptcy of European church theology has made this dead religion stink like a rotting corps in the Mid Summer day’s oppressive heat.

Barth argued that God reveals Himself primarily through Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. He emphasized that human understanding of God must come from divine revelation rather than human reason or experience. The horrors of the Nazi Shoah revealed that Goyim worship air and no God. Jesus and his Father in Heaven – as dead as a door nail.

Barth’s obtuse theology distinguished between the “Word of God” (Jesus Christ) and the “words of men” (human interpretations). He believed that true theology must focus on the former, asserting that any human attempt to understand God must be grounded in the revelation of Christ. What utter pie in the sky religious rhetoric nonsense. The bible sophomoric translations of the Hebrew T’NaCH — all written by men. Most of whom had absolutely no or very little knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic – the original language of the Hebrew T’NaCH.

None of the sophomoric bible Xtian translators new the difference between T’NaCH and Talmudic common law from Roman statute law. None of these absolute ignoramuses understood the difference between Rabbi Akiva’s kabbalah of פרדס inductive reasoning from Aristotle’s deductive syllogism reasoning! The two divergent logic formats day and night different. Yet uneducated Xtian translators of their so called “Word of God” bibles as ignorant as bees on the rump of a braying ass.

Barth often contrasted the Pauline utter religious rhetoric theological nonsense of “Human sinfulness (Original Sin of Adam) with God’s grace. Never does his empty religious rhetoric ever question how grace as a Godly attribute revealed to Moshe at Horev distinguishes itself from Mercy or Great Chessed or Truth ect other attributes revealed to Moshe at Horev 40 days after the Sin of the Golden Calf.

Barth’s theology of a Universal God argues that this God owns absolute sovereignty, wholly transcendent. Which completely ignores the Jewish Tribal God revealed only to Israel at Sinai, which the Xtian and Muslim religions utterly rejected that revelation, which understands HaShem as a local tribal God of the Hebrew Chosen Cohen people alone. Outside of Judea/Israel HaShem as a local tribal God has absolutely no sovereignty transcendent rule.

Hence outside of the oath sworn lands no one can worship HaShem לשמה; this represents the Torah curse imposed upon g’lut/exiled Jews. And Goyim who never accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai – how much more so! Central to Barth’s theology is the belief that all theological reflection must be centered on Christ. This narishkeit exposes Av tumah avoda zarah; Torah defines faith as the righteous pursuit of judicial justice wherein the Sanhedrin common law courts strive to make fair compensation of damages inflicted by Party A upon Party B.

Av tumah avoda zarah promote theological creed rhetoric which dictates what believers must believe in this or that or some other God. Bonhoeffer’s political stance against the Nazis is admirable — he resisted a church that bent its knee to Hitler. But the substance of his theology remained trapped within the very Christian framework of Barth’s bankrupt and void theology. Barth and Bonhoeffer both anchor “truth” in Christology, a theological rhetoric divorced from judicial justice or covenantal precedent. Both preserve Pauline substitution theology (sin/grace, Christ as “Word of God”), which replaces Torah’s oath alliance revelation with mythic universality.

Neither ever engaged in Torah common law precedent vs. Roman statute law — nor did they recognize the practical, courtroom-based definition of faith as צדק צדק תרדוף. Bonhoeffer opposed Nazism, but he did so with bankrupt theological tools. His “religionless Christianity” or “cost of discipleship” never escaped Barth’s fundamental error: mistaking a theological creed for covenantal justice. Even resistance to Nazi tyranny in German Protestant circles still operated inside the false logic of avoda zarah. They never questioned the Pauline framework that itself fed centuries of Jew-hatred, pogroms, blood libels, and ultimately the Shoah.
