This Blog is about many different things. My readers should understand that my writings on Torah based topics are not meant to be authoritative. Indeed in the community in which I live there are people who never seek to enlarge upon a theme which has not been previously documented by mefarshim (commentaries) or chazal.

In traditional discussion of Jewish Law, you will often see people speak of what Chazal says about a matter. Chazal is not a single person; the term refers collectively to the consensus of authoritative opinion, in much the same way that we might speak of what Congress says or what the Supreme Court says. Chazal is an acronym of the Hebrew phrase Chachameinu Zichronam Liv’racha, which means “our sages of blessed memory” or “our sages, may their memory be a blessing.” In its strictest sense, Chazal refers to the final opinion expressed in the Talmud, but the term is sometimes used more loosely to refer to the generally accepted opinion of any of the wise people who have contributed to Jewish law.

Followers of this blog may have noticed that that only the newest topic would appear on top. That format has changed with this post.

This post will remain on top as a disclaimer. It is important to understand that I am attempting to do far more with this website then to simply reiterate ideas that have already been firmly established by chazal. However it should be noted that I do try to credit the ideas to their source when possibly. My reader needs to understand that the ideas expressed which are uniquely my own are simply the ones which I do not typically try to credit to others. Also that it is the nature  of this blog, and perhaps all blogs in general, that the writing is done, live and in real time using the text box which is provided in the case by wordpress. Often my first draft will be published with incorrect grammar or spelling. I do try to repair them as they get noticed upon revisiting this site.

While I do attempt to get at the truth, with any given post, there are at times, inaccuracies that will be found. I am not posting these writings so that they can be repeated at ones’s own shabbos table in my name (although I believe this is a high honor) but rather I am doing this as a means of self expression, with the idea that once I commit these ideas and concepts to writing, it then opens up my mind to receive more of these insights.

I am hoping to implement further changes both in the look of this website, as well as its content.

A goal of my mine has been to find other writers who perhaps would to have their writing published in a blog like this. I have url’s which I have purchased that I would also like to further develop. I have already begun to contact other writers, and even people who have more experience with website coding so that I can have this particular website develop along the lines in accordance with the vision that I have for it’s future.

One might notice that there is also relatively few comments. Right here I need to let you know that due to that nature of what goes on out here in the virtual world, that I have already received over 13,000 comments. Most of these comment are poised for my deletion. This current state of affairs is unfortunate because i sincerely do welcome sincere and interested comments, but simply do not have the patience to wade through all the nonsense (spam) which may even have been generated by some sort of automated machinery or program (spam bots?) The reason is, that people (spammers) simply want you to go tho their website.

This web site does not only post on Torah related ideas.

I also write on various other topics. I often have trouble classifying what my other writings are about most probably because my other writings are so uniquely my own. Indeed part of my problem as an author, or perhaps more positively expressed as, part of my style as author, is that it is difficult to remove my own personal thoughts and ideas from any of my writing. This particular limitation unfortunately had created some difficulty for me, in attempting to produce a master’s thesis for one particular program which would have provided me with a masters degree in The Teaching of Science 7-12.

It is not very likely that my writing style. or mindset regarding writing in a manner which is uniquely my own will change anytime now or in the near future. It is however quite possible and even likely that my writing will continue to evolve and grow along with this website.

I also welcome personal as well comments and inquires. For not they can be e-mailed to me at the e-mail address below. This email address (even though it is long) was created to at least help promote this website which I believe does appear high on some of the listing on various topics of interest on google searches.
