carmelle, lauren, and LEAH!

jealousy is the number 1 cause for free hatred!

Rabbi Alacamanpandi from the first generation from Bavel says that there are absolutely other causes for free hatred and that jealousy is not the number 1 cause.

Rabbi Cauliflower from the second generation from Bavel says that jealousy spelled backwards is "YSUOLAEJ" which has the secret meaning of hatred.

Rabbi Fennachee from the third generation from Bavel says that free hatred means hating someone of any sect of religion for absolutely positively no ABSOLUTE reason at all!

Julie's comment...CHALLENGED!!! duh...duh...DUUUUUUUH!!!

Julie says: You must bring people up, not pull them down because of wrondoings.

Rabbi Herman (6th generation atlanta) says: Unless they are not worth picking up.(crazy old bat)
Rabbi Gringer says (7th generation atlanta): You cannot determine whether or not they are worth being picked up. Just because you know they did something wrong does not mean that they have not done something right.(smart generation...)
Rabbi Rewta says(10th generation atlanta): You must try at least twice before you give up. People resist sometimes...(trying to be smart...)

Loving Your Fellow Jew

Shacklah Vetariah: A non Jew once came to the great sage Hillel saying, "I wish to convert on the condition that you teach me the entire Torah 'while I stand on one foot' - 'in a very short time'." Hillel accepted him as a convert and then told him, "What is hateful to you do not do to others, this is the entire Torah, everything else is commentary, go and learn."
Talmud, Shabbat 31a

Memrah: Rabbi Jake Blackbaum of Bavel 2nd generation says we learn from what Hillel says that all the Torah wants us to do is to be nice to other people, and the rest is just ways to achieve this.

Why waste ourselves with hate

Rav ben max ben michael ben evan, ari allen allen aleen, says and ben seth says that if we hate our fellow Jew bad things will happen.

Shaklah Vetarya: Rav ben Max ben michael ben evan, ari allen ben seth says that even if we have lost an important person in our life and we are upset and full of hate toward the person who caused their death, we should still be nice to them..

Hallie Nadine and Alexa

Shaklah vtrayah = We are challenging Sarah Queens comment. We don't think that all hatred stems from thinking you are to good for others. Sometimes hatred comes out of nowhere and you simply hate a person because of an opinion instilled in your head by someone else. Maybe you simply hate someone for a religion. Hating someone for a religious reason is not good.
memrah - Rabbi Gamliel Ben Shimon AlexaNadineHallie says that you should try to look for the good in the person instead of free hatred.


ok bye.

Eytan and Avi Goodfriend sugya

Quote: Avi says… You probably hate Israel if you do not like Jews.

S&T: Israel is the home of Jews so they are connected

M: Rabbi Yehoshuah Ben Levi Avi of Lod in Israel of the first generation says if they are connected, then it makes sense that you don't like the other if you already don't like one.

M Ukimtah: Rav Huna Eytan of Sura in Babylon in the second generation says what if you met just one Jew who you didn't like becuase of his personality but when you visited Israel you fell in love with the country?

S&T: Not all Jews are the same

M Ukimtah: Rabbi Avi Rav Chisda of Sura in Babylonia during the third generation says if they aren't all the same, then how do congregations survive?

Tu Bshvat

Tu Bshvat is coming up. It's about trees. You eat a lot of fruit. It's on the 16th of Shvat.

Yay.

Tu Bishvat

Tu bishvat is one of the four new years. this one is celebrating trees. So to celebrate this day we eat fruits to honor the trees.

Tu Bishvat

Tu Bishvat is the beginning of the leagal year for counting tithes. Tu Bishvat is at the same time as the sap in a tree begins to rise up.

TREES!

There is a mishnah on Tu Bishvat that Beit Shamai said that it should be on the 1st of Shvat. Beit Hillel said that it should be on the 15th . We follow Beit Hillel...Obviously.

Talmud and Trees

The Talmudic Rabbis established a "birthday" for trees so that Jews could calculate the age of trees and know when they could be harvested because the trees (in order to sacrifice as first-fruit offerings) had to be 4 years old.

TuB'shvat is one of the four new years that are in the Jewish calendar. the other three are:
~Rosh Hashana
~a new year for establishing the reign of kings
~a new year for tithing animals of Jewish farmers to be given to the Temple

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tree Trouble.......

If tu-bshvat falls out on shabbat and you had planned with a bunch of friends to plant a few trees in the middle of no where can you go plant the trees the day before or the day after?

Tree web site

This is a good website about trees in the talmud and about TU BSHVAT http://www.canfeinesharim.org/community/shevat.php?page=11539

Tu'Beshvat

http://www.aish.com/tubshvat/tubshvatinterests/Man_Is_a_Tree.asp

Tu B'Shvat is technically the day when trees stop absorbing water from the ground, instead they draw nourishment from their sap. In Jewish law, this means that fruit blossomed before the 15th of Shvat could not be used as money for fruit which blossomed after that date.

tree in talmud eytan

The Bible expresses a great reverence for fruit trees as symbols of God's bounty and beneficence. Special laws were formulated to protect fruit trees in times of war and ensure that the produce of trees would not be picked until the trees were mature enough and tithes were given from them. In order to calculate the age of trees, both for determining when they could be harvested and when they were to be tithed for the Temple, the Talmudic Rabbis established the 15th day (Tu) of the month of Shvat as the official "birthday" of trees.

Trees

One day, Honi the Circle Maker was walking on the road and saw a man planting a carob tree. Honi asked the man, "How long will it take for this tree to bear fruit?"

The man replied, "Seventy years."

Honi then asked the man, "And do you think you will live another seventy years and eat the fruit of this tree?"

The man answered, "Perhaps not. However, when I was born into this world, I found many carob trees planted by my father and grandfather. Just as they planted trees for me, I am planting trees for my children and grandchildren so they will be able to eat the fruit of these trees."

This shows that we should save trees so that our children will have trees, you can find commentary at http://www.spiritoftrees.org/folktales/schram/honi_carob_tree.html

The Torah says that every 7 years we need 2 rest our crop there for we are saving energy human as well as machinary

Kosher

If it was a life or death situation would a rabbi eat a cheeseburger????!?!?!?

The Torah isn't concrened

Energy....The torahs version

The Torah teaches us to preserve energy in many ways. When you cant leave your lights on, on shabbat it helps you use less because the ones you don't want on you have to keep off. As a nation we must help the world become "energy efficient". I think it would be more wise just to be able to turn on and off the lights..... It says that you shouldn't be destructive and wasting energy is destroying it. I think this is a very good point. I dont know were it says it though.

Source: askmoses (one of the rabbis)

Preserve Energy Today, For Tomorrow

The torah teaches us to preserve energy when the 10 commandments said to keep shabbat. Keeping shabbat can perserve energy in so many ways:

• No cars
• No stoves/microwaves/ovens
• No TVs
• No electronics of any kind
• And lastly, if you keep shabbat you don't work and that's preserving personal energy!

I think that the torah has alot of things that can still be used today and preserving energy is one of them.

The torah shebaal peh does speak about shabbat and technically shabbat is a day of resting and preserving energy.

It is written in Sefer Moed in the subtcatagory "shabbat".

I have no comment about what it says in the mishnah...

I got this info from learning torah personally and wikkipedia!

Fries with that?

Wud u rather run in2 a wall 5 times fast or eet fries @ Mcdonolds

& Wut wud a rabbi say 2 do

Aliyah

If there is a shabbos torah reading going on, but only four of the people are capable of getting Aliyot (i.e. the others are vegetables or can't get to the Bima) can the others get more than one (not in a row)

Not including a Cohen getting two aliyot if there is no Levi.

i agree with you leah 100% but there are people who dont use energy at all
:)

Conserving Energy

Where do we see that the Torah is concerned with energy conservation?
