@AriLamm I’m so confused. I really had always assumed the knife was hidden on the left side, and that it was a secret he was a lefty. glad to have this depiction that made me look this up. What an insane way to try to get a hidden knife… I guess this is why he had to clear the room

This is extremely awesome. Major respect to @RN_WBB

@thislouis Thanks for the Fred info, cuz I read it Ferd (derogatory Yiddish read that would be the equivalent of SOB) and wondered if they ha a more ambivalent approach

Has anyone ever gone to a shul that did the kinot in The numeric order and didn’t keep skipping around?

What is this order?

[Shua Brick @BrickShua]

@IlanBlock Eh, those are the two less interesting people in this painting - finally some rebbetzin schachter gedolim material

@AriLamm How often do they well? Ne’er?

[Ari Lamm @AriLamm]

First of all, this is not “under the watch of the IDF”. Burin is in Area A. And it’s a response to the below, also carried out regularly and with impunity (“under the watch of the PA”?), though you don’t hear about these bc a) there isn’t a massive, well-funded activist infrastructure dedicated to documenting *these* attacks, and b) the IDF is not at all interested in protecting Yitzhar, which is part of why Yitzhar’s inhabitants hate the IDF: https://t.co/d3hekotVTb

Now, personally, I think Yitzhar is bad and should be permanently dismantled. I furthermore think (and have stood up in synagogue and given sermons about this) that the entire idea of price-tag attacks is a moral abomination. Anyone found guilty of one should be in prison, and will certainly face God’s wrath.

But I also am not going to sit here and pretend that all this happens for no reason. I’m not going to ignore or, worse, excuse—as the activists do—all the regular violence to which this is a response. Surely the attacks directed against Israelis in the West Bank—usually with no consequences—are worth at least a tiny fraction of the attention that the retaliatory attacks get? And I’m not going to act like somehow the PA doesn’t exist. You don’t want responsibility for Nablus? Then don’t accept it.

Each of these attacks is reprehensible. And more than that, members of each “side” should feel especially morally responsible for the assaults coming from their fellows. If that were where the discourse started, it would be a vast improvement over where we are now.

@ZuckierShlomo I am so nervous that his is a real quote you heard in a recent daf yomi shiur...

[Shua Brick @BrickShua]

How are these still good now that he's done about 1,000 of these?

@EliLebowicz Based on my most recent experiences there, that looks empty - I wish the crowds only looked like that.

This is the most brilliant piece of television I have ever seen. I’m in awe

[Sam Reich @samreich]

game changer episodes are all my precious little babies, but tonight's is one of my especial favorites we've ever done.

S06E05: @KatieMarovitch, @brennanlm, and @ChestangRaphael star in...

BINGO.

“Everyone uses @SefariaProject, from chassidic Jews to kanye west fans doing opposition research”
I hope @AlexEdelman is now doing their marketing.

[Shua Brick @BrickShua]

Crazy episode with @birbigs and @AlexEdelman, where not only does Alex have some great jewish jokes, but plugs @SefariaProject non profit at the end.

Fun finding out my friend had a kid from the Daf Yomi sponsorship announcements. What a fun feature

[Shua Brick @BrickShua]

@pruzhaner That’s so cool. I wonder when he switched. And seems like a really good change content wise

[Shua Brick @BrickShua]

Feeling left out in daf today. People talking about alu metzios as being their first perek, and rabbi zucker started with perek hamafkid. #NotAllMetzios

@AriLamm Since when did the guy from the nanny start tweeting?

[Shua Brick @BrickShua]

This is kinda my theology in a tweet

[S ilan block @IlanBlock]

if two people came to court holding a garment, and this one, the first litigant, says: I found it, and that one, the second litigant, says: I found it; this one says: All of it is mine, and that one says: All of it is mine; how does the court adjudicate this case? ...
