Where can one go to not be in the presence of the Almighty? 🫥

A straightforward read of Yitro suggests henotheism: that other nations got to have their gods but Israel shouldn't go off and have an affair over there. A hard monotheism seems to be a later development mostly.

i.e., don't bring your side piece(s) around your wife. Which might be a bit crude, but the _theme_ of marital infidelity as metaphor runs all over the prophets. So it seems apropos.

Advice: buy disposable gloves. Don't sweat formula vs mom: fed is best. Don't engage in the parenting rat races. Just read, tickle, and love. Later on, focus on patience over _all_.

Assimilation means religion too.

But I think a lot of it is a radical paucity of religious experience.

I leyned badly. It was hard to study it.

To know evil, to choose evil, oy. That's a grief.

Eh, its 'presentism'. Chazal did not distinguish sex v. gender. The discussions focus on sexual marks (intersex, etc) and who has what ritual obligations, as traditional ritual obligations split between M and F.

You can 💯 drash on that, but liberal commentators rush to eisegesis here.

That statement is a negotiation play. Everyone knows if the actors, writers, etc go away, the new content pipe will drain away, and then the money will really start dropping.

that really would be pretty powerful evidence for mens rea, wouldn't it?
