Ask Judea Torah Show 10

(1/4) > >>

judeanoncapta:
Due to the overwhelming volume of questions last week, I must limit this week's show to 5 questions per person.

Even though I have been forced to limit questions, I still think that 5 is a good amount of questions. I hope you feel the same way.

Ask away!!!!!!!!

q_q_:
Sarah's question from askjudea1.

What are some of the prophecies, in the Torah?
Other then that of the Jewish people returning to the Land of Israel.

q_q_:
from a prev askjudea.

Do you feel that there is any way that the theory of evolution is compatible with Torah views?
yisrael

q_q_:
I have found that many jews today they know of their roots in poland, russia or austria, but not before that..

In askjudea8 askjtf, you gave a mind blowing summary, along the lines of ashkenazim moved from  israel egypt italy germany france eastern europe

And, you mention examples of yerushalmi customs amongst ashkenazim.. showing origins of ashkenazim in israel. And were you suggesting that Sefaradi customs are more bavli oriented?

Can you give an overview of ashkenazi movements with years of moving to each country?

(so one can sit with a map and follow it according to key centuries )

your knowledge and clarity is mind blowing!

q_q_:
hi

there is -so- much unwritten detail in the shul service.. besides variation from shul to shul.   It's a thing that people know visually, and from practice, and not from texts.

precisely when the ark is opened and closed can vary, but I would guess, that invariably, on shabbat morning, vayehi bimsoah aharon is spoken with it opened, if the chazzan hasn't made a mistake.

do you think that if it is not in texts, not in the talmud or shulchan aruch, then it has no basis?

clearly for pronunciation we go by living tradition(i.e. reasoning on who has the most accuarate one).
But Halacha we go by texts.
Only a small portion of the shul service is covered in the shulchan aruch. It's such a visual thing, I think people haven't bothered to document it properly. Siddurim don't document it fully, they just give brief pointers.

Do you think this is a problem? And does anybody e.g. does rabbi bar hayyim, just say "this is what the texts say the halacha is.. this is what the texts say the customs of minhag eretz yisroel is. And for everything else, do what you want".
