PATERNAL FAMILY HERITAGE

Simply the males build the material aspects of civilization, and are thus called “builders” (בנים). As stated in Bereshis 5, 28, “a son was born to him that built the world”. And as the Ralbag explains a still-born baby is not called בן, since the baby did not have a…

Rabbi Yishmael appears to be teaching that if one merely sees Torah as an academic discipline, something to study and teach one will be blessed with the ability and opportunity to study and teach.

Consequently, one who adopts this second approachl is blessed not just to learn and teach but also have the opportunity to…

Where does a forty-year old man start? He had never been trained in the utilization of his mind. How would he absorb that…
