The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א.

http://leibnizgodelaristotle.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-most-serious-sin-in-regard-to-torah.html

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. The most serious sin in regard to Torah is to attempt to redefine Torah according to one's preference. It matters if one keeps Torah also. But even if one does not keep all or any of the commandments, the worst sin to to try to change Torah according to ones tastes. This was the reason that Gra signed the excommunication. You could start also with the Geonim. But in any case what I suggest to begin is what is called Musar. That is a generic term for med...

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. I knew the head of the Lev Tahor movement (the Taliban women) in Safed. Erez eventually left Rav Shick and that is where the history in the article starts. But it is important to note that everything that was written in the newspaper Haaretz about the period that I know something about was all wrong. It makes me wonder if this is their standard of accuracy? I could never figure out why. [I think I probably rubbed him the wrong way because of my free thi...

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. Moral obligations (that is, the facts that we ought to act in certain ways) should be self-evident. But we need the holy Torah because though the principles of Torah should be self evident, most people allow considerations (of what social group they want to fit in with) to cloud their judgment about what is moral. Yosi Faur contends that the Rambam (Maimonides) discovered this objective aspect of Torah, and all his opponents were off the true path. At first...

http://leibnizgodelaristotle.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-am-getting-more-and-more-convinced.html

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. None of these things have anything to do with Torah. Not because it is. Hard to make a makom Torah- [place of Torah] but because people don't want to learn. If people would want to learn Torah for its own sake. Not for pay] then it would be the simplest thing in the world to make a makom Torah. S1 D Minor  Edited. In the final part I used an idea of Mozart to end with 6-8 time. Come on and read his blog!

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. Two levels of reality is what we get with Plato. And this has a parallel in Kant. There is a person with rulership over the whole generation in a hidden way but openly has no one listening to him.There is the idea of authority of the Sitra Achra. There is such a thing as authority of the Dark Side which is hidden. S1 D Minor  Edited. In the final part I used an idea of Mozart to end with 6-8 time. Come on and read his blog!

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. : Maimonides and Physics

http://leibnizgodelaristotle.blogspot.com/2013/01/maimonides-and-physics.html

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. I have wondered about the approach of the Rambam towards learning what he calls Physics and Metaphysics. [He says what the ancient Greeks called Physics and Metaphysics is what in Torah is called the "Work of the Divine Chariot" and the "Work of Creation." מעשה מרכבה ומעשה בראשית.]. My question is why does he put this into the category of service of G-d? The approach of the Rambam never made a dent in Jewish theology. It goes like this: everything has four ...

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. It is hard to create a place of Torah. I have gained a certain amount of respect for people that were able to make authentic yeshivas after seeing how the whole concept of a yeshiva is so easily derailed and most of them are cults. I can see also why Rav Chaim Solveitchik was against the Musar Movement after seeing how easily Musar itself can be sidetracked into all kinds of lunacies. What is a place of Torah? In order to be able to tell the difference betw...

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. The seventh year. Shemitah. The argument between Rav Shach and Rav Isaac Soloveitchik. Trumot I:5. I wanted to say over again the argument between Rav Shach and Rav Isaac Soloveitchik. What I want to make clear is the fact that Rav Soloveitchik has mainly two things in the Rambam which indicate that he is right. Because they did not make a decree in place Y! To Rav Shach the connection is simple. In both place one gives tithes to the poor. Links to nice blo...

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. Amon and Moav gives tithes to the poor on the seventh year because many cities were conquered by those coming up from Egypt but not by those coming up from Babylonia and they left them so the poor would be able to depend on them in the seventh year. That is the areas of עולי מצרים are required to give tithes to the poor on the seventh year. That is a proof that Amon and Moav also do so. Come on and read his blog!

The path of the Gra and Navardok דרכו של הגר"א. Links to this post. Pantheism really just does not come up in the Talmud. The belief system of the Talmud is monotheism. But this really never gets articulated until Maimonides and Saadia Gaon. And it would not even be of any interest if not for people trying to claim that the Torah is pantheistic. Once people started pushing pantheism, it became rare to find any books that don't include pantheism of some form, and present it as authentic Torah. כשאני עוסק ...
