Re: Sheva, Chataf and Mordechai

: When they don't ignore the sheva na' completely, most Ashkenazim pronounce

I think this implies greater consistancy than is real. Yes, the shiva na is
often given the same sound as is a chirik chaseir, but not consistantly.
This leads to the oddity that "yihyeh" (chirik, sh'va nach, segol) often
ends up pronounced as though it were "y'heeyeh" (chirik, chirik malei,
segol).

The phonetic schwa is actually a neutral vowel. The shift from patach through
kamatz and cholam to shuruk is one of greater and greater rounding of the
lips. Whereas patach-segol-tzeirei-chirik is a continuum of greater closure
of the back. The patach gets its name from the fact that both positions are
open.

If you think of the front and back rounding as seperate axis, you get a
square with patach, chirik and shuruk at three of its corners -- and schwa
would be much of the territory in the middle. Where it lies in relation to
center is how chatufos differ from schwa na.

(Note that the vowels on each side are made malei by writing in the semivowel
(yud /y/ or vuv /w/) that involves the same part of the mouth. In all
probability, "lo" (meaning "to him) has a vuv for the same reason the English
"blow" ends in a "w".

German and French have sounds in which both front and back are slightly closed,
such as the vowel in the French "dieu". English doesn't, and I don't know
of a traditional havarah that has such a sound, either.

Schwa sits somewhere in the middle, no particular rounding giving the vowel 
character. Therefore RDB's observation that:
: In all these words, the sheva is not a normal vowel sound but a weak, mild,
: tint of the respective vowel, just a faint hint of the vowel sound.
is true of many languages.

:                                                              R' Shlomo Almoli 
: (circa 1500), after detailing the different sounds, states 
: that the differences are vanishing and "In most places, all shevas are read
: as a segol".

Which is seen in transliterations to still be common amongst American
Asheknazim. (c.g. "Bereishis")

While we're on the subject, is a chataf-kamatz read as a schwa colored by a
kamatz katan or kamatz gadol. I picked up the former when I started working
on "Ashirah Lashem", but I have no recollection of where.

Mechy Frankel later writes:

Why would anyone but a Levi want to reproduce Moshe's pronunciation of
Hebrew? For all I know I'm from Shevet Efraim (my ancestor just happened to
be in Malchus Yisrael at the right time) and I should drop the /sh/ sound.

My point is, there never was any one "correct" pronunciation.

Sometimes I think the centrality of the Holocaust in the mindset of many
Jews is because it's the only emotional motivation they have left for
Judaism. Stripped of halachah, the religion's philosophical depth and
everything else that makes it worthwhile, how do you keep little Stephanie

Re: Mordochai and More; medical alert

According to R' Matis Blum (author of "Torah Loda'as") our "normal chumashim"
are products of the fact that the printing house in Soncino printed the
chumash first, which means that all subsequent chumashim were compiled in
comparison to a Sepharadi one.

R' Blum credits Soncino with the publication in Ashkenaz of chumashim that
place aliyos in the Sepharadi locations. Normally this isn't an issue -- except
for parashas Ha'azinu. It's been a while since I davened by him, so I forgot
whose aliyos for Ha'azinu R' Blum uses instead.

Re: Tav L'Meisav


Tav Limesav differs from cheireish in two ways:

1- Cheireish isn't a din of chazakah, it's an umdinah. As I said earlier, I
   think RYBS's point is that chazakos aren't umdinos -- which has the
   advantage of making them distinct from a ruba dileisa likaman.

2- R' Kook says that halachah can only change lichumrah in light of scientific
   advance. (As has been written here before ad nauseum.)

I don't understand why you make your assumption. Why can't non-Jews have

of mitzvah to sechar apply to the 7 mitzvos B'nei Noach as well?

Along similar lines, Gil Student asked about how acharonim can even question
whether non-Jews can do teshuvah.

The Techeiles Mordechai quotes Eruvin 62a and the Rashi ad loc, which states
that "vehashiv es hagezeilah" only applies to Jews. He comments on "Mikol
asher ya'aseh ha'adam lachato biheinah", noting that "ha'adam" includes
non-Jews. (See Tosafos A"Z 3a, which says that this is the difference between
"adam" -- as in "adam ki yamus ba'ohel", and "ha'adam.) However, from the text
about teshuvah "viharah ki yecheta vi'asham, viheishiv..." the T"M notes
that the word "ha'adam" is lacking, implying that teshuvah -- at least of
the word mentioned in the pasuk -- isn't available to non-Jews.

I think the question isn't about repentence, but about full teshuvah, which
the Ramban defines as machshavah, dibbur (vidui), and ma'aseh (korban).
In particular note that the word "Yehudi" implies that we have a special
relationship to vidui and hoda'ah.

He doesn't touch, however, the quote Rich and I were debating, where the
Rambam says it's "mipi hashmu'a", an expression I do not take to be identical

That's like the case of boel arusoso b'beis chamav, which while

In Truma there are two ways of placing Shlishi (one after the 
Shulchan and one after the Menorah). I'm not sure which is 
Ashkenazi and which is Sephardi, and I usually do it whichever 
way is most common in the Chumashim in the shul where I am

Perhaps because the husband and wife are benching gomel for the same chessed 
from HKBH.

Re: Megilas Esther & Sheimos/Tasmania


lkeacha mordeachi lo l'vas

L'vas = L'vais

Bitehco = veitcheho

Just as Mordechai's Bas was his wife, so too the dibros allude to ishtecho via 
vitecho

Good purim

PS  (And almost a Purim Torah:) BTW talking of Tasmania, some 
time ago I read a book called (I think) History of Jews in 
Tasmania which relates a story from the early days of the Hobart
Hebrew Congregation. The Shul Board had passed a resolution that any person 
found to be working on Shabbos be fined the amount of 2 shillings
and sixpence. One Sunday they called in and fined a certain 
member whose wife had opened their store on the previous
Shabbos. The husband claimed, however, that  wives were not included 
in the Issur of working on Shabbos. His proof was that in the
Torah it is written - Lo Saaseh Bo Melcoho - Atto Uvincho Uvitecho 
Avdecho VeAmosecho - whilst "Ishtecho" doesn't get a mention....

Proper Jewish Fashion - Purim Alert


funny quote in Bentwich's bio of Schechter

"if Shechter goes on ranting one more time about Catholic Israel - I am going to
start Protestant Israel!"

and the Pope is in Israel, how appropos for Purim! And he is wearing a white 
yamrkula - Yom kiPurim indeed!

This reminds me of a discussion on scj, in which someone posted Schechter's 
definition of "Catholic Israel / Klal Yisrael", in which Schechter omits to 
explain the bit that makes it non-circular.

In this case, "sh'eiris Yisrael" is taken to mean those Jews who remain, and 
who remain observant. Yet you are also using the quote in the reverse, to 
assert that what the surviving kehillah does can't be avlah. Your definition 
of "shi'eiris" and "avlah" are mutually dependant, making a two-step circle.

lose his Yerei Cheit one should not imbibe.

prononciation is different Hab*o*r, (the plural is Boros).  in any case Yosef 
was Mordechai's great grandfather.

Happy Purim
