This refers to the wisdom to conduct oneself like an animal. (Sichot Ha-Ran 16). Sichot Ha-Ran than continues with a further gloss (by Rabbi Natan? Edited with BlogPad Pro.

The Evolving Jew: Tisha B'Av - a deep dive into Jewish history
http://evolvingjew.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-lesson-of-tisha-bav.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Tisha B'Av - a deep dive into Jewish history. The traditional reason given that Hashem allowed the destruction of the second Beit Hamikdash is because of Sinat Chinam, baseless hatred. It might also be translated as pointless hatred. Mourning doesn't mean wallowing with no purpose. There are positive reasons we fast and recall tragedy, and those reasons are many. We are meant to take away lessons that strengthen us as Jews and as human beings. Will they have shaped Judaism? Old pos...

The Evolving Jew: June 2015
http://evolvingjew.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. Embracing same-sex marriage is a Torah value. I celebrated Friday's Supreme Court decision. And I agree with the logic espoused my many of my fellow Orthodox Jews that despite what the Torah says, we have no right to foist a religious definition of marriage on a secular public. That's a handy and quick argument. So the question is this: How much of our morality should be derived from the Torah? Certainly Rabbinic Judaism adjusted many things in the Torah that they were uncomfortabl...

The Evolving Jew: Why I'm not Open Orthodox
http://evolvingjew.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-im-not-open-orthodox.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. Why I'm not Open Orthodox. With all this talk of whether Open Orthodox is "in" or "out" of Orthodoxy, I wonder how many people actually identify as Open Orthodox, aside from the students, graduates, and hanhala of Chovevei Torah? How many of you out there actually specifically identify yourselves as Open Orthodox? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About me and this blog - read these posts.
