E.g., he seems to think that pearls are luscious and edible when freshly caught. <br /><br />Of the three major options suggested by modern authorities - sepia, Murex, and Janthina - I think that the first two are very hard to reconcile with Rashi's understanding of the gemora.

I speak from experience, one can obtain (with enough work) a degree of "spiritual lenses," but ultimately if Hashem wills it of course. However, I firmly believe that if one has genuine קרב, and takes the time to meditate, and dig deep into the middot, Hashem will bless us.

He asked the painter to change the painting to have one hand over the other but NOT fingers interlaced. I always wondered about this so thank you for bringing the sources.<br /><br />BTW I also once saw a photo of another very well known rabbi (who, doesnt matter), and he also had interlaced his fingers. I dont buy the one who said the photo you have must be photoshopped. Some rabbis are overhyped but simply are unaware of this teaching, or possibly, are aware but dont follow the Kabbalah, like rav Elyashiv. eliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405408910249669972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-71390296556624739942021-12-25T20:57:33.274-05:002021-12-25T20:57:33.274-05:00Yakov names him Ben Yemin.
