If the symbolism of Techeiles is solely about the color (blue), why must the color come specifically from the Chilazon? What might be “Ta’ama Dekra”?

Rabbi Brand explains.

Start with “Doros Harishonim” by Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Halevi. Less revisionist than Graetz, etc. whom he wrote to debate, but also often disagreeing with the Rishonim, because, as he says, לא הייתה מעין מלאכתן בכך. Which is why the Chazon Ish didn’t like his work much (I hope to discuss this further later on).

It’s another way for the state to harm and kill us. Read up on the facts.

When a non-Jewish murderer of Jews is sent to jail in Israel, let’s stop pretending his prison term means anything. “Given a life sentence!” “Ten life sentences!” “Court recommends … never be released” We are supposed to rejoice and bear good will toward the judges (especially since 99% are Arabs and lefties)…

How silly.

We all know a prisoner exchange is all it takes for the state to free the “lifer” to murder more Jews (Surprise!). It’s only a matter of time, and not much time, at that.

Of course, jail itself is part welfare, too, but that’s a topic for another time.

Murray Rothbard believed fractional reserve banking is fraud. Without going into much reasoning and detail, it appears Chazal disagree. I have never seen a breath of condemnation of honest bankers in Gemara.

A banker is called a “Shulchani”. Or, in Greek, טרפסיטים, Bamidbar Rabbah 4:8.

Unless bankers are a state cartel or guaranteed by government “insurance”, what could be or go wrong?
