Shammai

Active voice: "Police officers shot and killed a bystander"
Passive voice: "A bystander was shot and killed by police officers"
Exculpatory voice: "Officer-involved shooting slays bystander"

It's grammatically the active voice, but they changed the subject from the person to an inanimate concept

Not even!

Active voice: "Republicans filled the chat with slurs."
Passive voice: "The chat, created by a Republican, was filled with slurs."
Exculpatory voice: "Slurs filled the Republican-created chat."

Mamdani really showed how it could be done. It's not just some box to check off where you have to go to a synagogue and say pretty things until you've paid your metaphorical dues. Mamdani actually changed people's minds by going to Jews and speaking out, instead of letting his critics speak for him.

Hey, I had to look it up too

In Matthew he essentially says that, yes.

In Matthew he basically comes down like Beit Shammai, in Mark he's even stricter and says "no divorce ever" which was not one of the choices

PHARISEES: Hey Jesus, we're all discussing the limitations of when a husband can divorce his wife. What's your take on this?

JESUS: Am I being detained

One other note on this: Interestingly, Jesus' teaching about divorce comes in this exact context. The Pharisees ask Jesus not whether divorce is conceptually valid, but whether a man can divorce his wife for just any reason. The exact thing Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel were debating! (Some "test.")

In which Rabbi Eliezer establishes the Jewish Fuck Calendar

3) The Karaites also mostly live in Israel

1) No, they probably think it means like beta testing

2) Beta Israel doesn't reject the Talmud in general. They have a weird relationship with it, having been isolated from the rest of the Jewish People for so long. They're a very different category than the Karaites, who actively reject Talmud.

There's... there's no rapture in the Talmud

Potatoes are native to Peru, but that's not the place they probably make you think of

"Excuse me, is your mother Jewish?"

It's annoying that people still fall for this. I thought I put this stupid idea to bed two months ago, when I wrote a thread about it on bsky dot app.

oh that’s not—

Would it be compliant if ChatGPT said "You should definitely invest in GameStop right now THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE"

It's true. I would make an awful spy

Anyway, you have to watch out for those Talmud-loving Zionist spies, the Chabad Mossad will get you with their bugged tefillin

I just came across someone who calls @shammaiintl.bsky.social a Zionist spy (in Italian) for running Talmud-misuse blocklists and putting them on one

Well I guess I'm a Zionist spy too now, and I'll never know ...

Post from bevimac, @bevimac.bsky.social: Did you know that child marriage is legal in the United States of America. People, what the fuck!!!!?!!! I think the missing link in the US is the complete lack of Education. Reply from Loreduck (butterfly emoji) Blue (Italian flag emoji) Net, @loreduck22.bsky.social: Translated from Italian: Because they follow the Talmud.

This had nothing to do with Zionism. The lies here are the claim that the Talmud sets US policy, and the implied claim that the Talmud requires child marriage.

If it did have anything to do with Israel, I'd point out that those lefties in the Israeli rabbinate set the minimum age for marriage at 18

This is a fake thing. The Talmud is Jewish, not Zionist. The anti-Zionist Jews you're probably thinking of spend huge amounts of time studying the Talmud.

Mishnah Ketubot 5:6 | Sefaria Library With regard to one who vows that his wife may not derive benefit from marital relations with him, Beit Shammai say: He may maintain this situation for up to...

Also worth pointing out: There are other situations where divorce becomes necessary due to a breakdown in the marriage. Both Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel agree on this, although they have more disagreements about the details. See Mishnah Ketubot for an example

Akiva says "If he finds a prettier woman then that's enough to count as the wife being obnoxious."

Jesus basically says "Nothing counts and Moses only wrote that law because he was a softie." (In Matthew he does add an exception for sexual immorality, but in Mark he does not.)

Deuteronomy 24:1 | Sefaria Library A man takes a woman [into his household] and becomes her husband. She fails to please him because he finds something obnoxious about her, and he writes her a...

The famous disagreement with respect to divorce is specifically whether a husband can unilaterally divorce his wife. Deuteronomy 24:1 says he may do that if he "finds something obnoxious about her." But what qualifies as obnoxious? Beit Shammai says "adultery," Beit Hillel says "basically whatevs"

"So we've got the firestone and the wood, but no sheep. And you're saying we're going to do a sacrifice with no sacrificial animal?"

ABRAHAM:

I was at the station ticket machine yesterday when a man shouted a torrent of abuse at one of the rail staff and then tried to get through onto the platform. At that point another staff member blocked him & said: "Sorry sir, you're not using the trains today". Good for him.

Hey!
I refuse to buy that's true! No no-win situation!
That's why I've gotta fly again, redo this simulation!
Yes I will win, and shine my star all through the Federation!
It's time for the Kobayashi Maru examination!
