Harzel:
Shalom rav JNC,

Do you know who/what were the "Am Haaretz" who were mentioned in the Mikra, for example 2 Kings 24:

--- Quote ---כד  וַיַּךְ, עַם-הָאָרֶץ, אֵת כָּל-הַקֹּשְׁרִים, עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אָמוֹן; וַיַּמְלִיכוּ עַם-הָאָרֶץ אֶת-יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ בְנוֹ, תַּחְתָּיו.    24 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
--- End quote ---

And one more question if I may- is it appropriate to course evil kings like Menasseh or Amon ?

And a 3rd question I have: What is the halachic opinion regarding supernatural interventions that are storied in the Talmud. I can think of two examples:
1. 'תנורו של עכנאי' (Achnai's Oven),this case is easy because the deduction is that the halacha is to be ruled according to the Torah and not according to supernatural signs. But still, is this story merely allegorical ?
2. The story of the execution of Rabbi Khanina ben Teradion רבי חנינא בן תרדיון there is a voice (בת קול ) which declares that R' Khanina  and his Executioner have earned life in the world to come (I recall that similar voices appear in the stories of other 9 slain rabbis עשרת הרוגי מלכות ) whose/what is that voice ?

Thanks,     
          Zelhar

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Who is Rav Kanievsky? And do you think he is a true Gadol, or someone who is overpraised? I happen to hear his name pop up a lot expecially on the subject of giving people blessings.

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Do you manage speaking english a lot of the time, or do you mostly speak Evrit now? ( I mean with your surroundings, job, etc. - In general- living in Israel)
