@sophisteuein @sergioten Yes, it is a reference to Epicurus but no it is not philosophically precise. In orthodox parlance it means someone who knows the mitzvot and knowingly violates them.

@ThatRabbiCohen @tabletmag Oy - Do you all know that during the Great Bubonic plague during the Middle Ages, one Jewish attempt to defeat it was to gather all the community together and pray. They ended up spreading the plague among themselves.

@rickperlstein In Obama’s autobiography he describes a scene where top brass and pentagon folks are encouraging him to send more troops to Afg. When they leave the room VP Biden tells him to disregard them all. Obama disregards Biden

@DNy1818 @eerdvark @JeremyBenAmi No @DNy1818. Geneva accords allow “occupation” of lands in war (defensive or aggressive), NOT “acquisition.” The occupier is precluded from acquisition such as by moving its citizens into the territory or exploiting its resources.

@rabbijilljacobs If malkhut shamayim is the establishment of a reign of justice and peace then עול מלכות שמים is our responsibility to make it possible. In short, we are on a mission from God and that mission is Tikkun Olam.

@PeterBeinart Do I have this correct? Israel Lobby is so pissed at @UzraZeya for allegedly claiming that they use their clout to get their way on foreign affairs that they have decided to prove that very point? I would laugh, but...

@PeterBeinart @SigalSamuel 2 things - 1) support your local brick & mortar store (maybe a Jewish bookstore) not Amazon. 2) Her name is sometimes transliterated “Asenath” if you are looking her up. Great history here!
