It also states, "This is a good man, and he shoul...
Herod and the eternal sancitiy of the Holy Temple
2007-05-11 23:32:00 Don't forget to vote for Reb Chaim HaQoton for Best Torah Post for Holiday of Trees.In recent news, the grave of King Herod the Great has been found (see here for news items) this week.The Talmud (Bava Basra 3b) records two reasons for the prohibition concerning destorying a synagouge even with the intent to rebuild it fancier: the first reason it is forbidden is because an issue might come up which might prevent the rebuilding and the second reason is that the congregants will have no place to congregate in prayer while the synagogue is destoryed before it is rebuilt. In light of this prohibition, the Talmud asks how Bava Ben Buti was allowed to advise King Herod the Great to destory the Holy Temple and rebuild it in a grand fashion. The Talmud answers that either Bava Ben Buti saw a crack in the Temple which was going to cause its eventual destruction on its own anyways or Bava ben Buti knew that King Herod would be able to re-build the Temple after he destoryed it because even t...

It’s better to be Herod’s pig than his son
2007-04-19 00:41:00 Palestinian state will certainly be created. Israel will either dismantle Jewish settlements or allow her Jews to continue living in Palestine, if they wish to. Then the Palestinian mob and terrorists will do the job of Israeli police, and evict the settlers. Given tactical difficulties of forcefully evicting a quarter million hardened Jews from the settlements and paying compensations for their housing, Israeli government could prefer stay-if-you-wish scenario, and leave the right-wing Jews, unwelcome in Israel, behind the enemy’s lines. Palestine only needs do adopt a law that prohibits foreign ownership of real estate or limit the term of visas issued to Israelis to drive the settlers out of Palestine. Abandoning Israeli citizenship and temporarily accepting refugee status in Palestine before thrusting to form Judea is the only option for Jews to stay in the territories. Israel only bans its citizens from the settlements, not Arabs or foreigners. Fearsome Israeli settlers s...
