idk...the discussion had its relevance...I'm coming from someone who has engaged in wonderful conversations on, for the sake of comparison, a necklace, that stagnates after focus concentrates on two different facets of a gem, when the topic is of a greater scope..the necklace. Important to appraise down to the facet...but burdensome to one who is a layman. Important to recognize alternative values, or definitions and it IS appreciated. Just, I've been mired in conversations revolving around a subtopic (which we actually both agree on) that we choose to express differently.

How very unfortunate..he shall be in my prayers

now whats the story behind this Original Revelation? Someone else received it and here we have it?

I apologize..I am only commenting on what I read..I ought not be held accountable for deleted posts or information unavailable to me. Though I ought not be so pessimistic. That I can work on :)

Here's my assessment..we have two beautiful resources of ancient and modern Judaism and they're quibling over subjective material...I just don't see the point other than it stopped both of you from commenting. What happened to the increase of knowledge through discussion? Your deadlock mentality...on both ends..ceased discussion and learning.

My given name is Isaac, which in Hebrew means, "the one who laughs" or "laughter"...I always was a cheerful kid, easily entreated, easy to smile...I always tripped out how closely my name matched my character. My father named me Isaac at the sight of my big brown eyes (Eye-sac)...I won't condemn his manner of interpretation..i love my name!

Fun posts...enlightening...faith promoting...thanks so much for your work!

from Ca, I meander the forums ever so often, happy to join ya all
