Or that a discussion of the gemara in Chagiga by Shevus Yaakov, about Adam haRishon's height, etc., also does not readily lend itself to a discussion of the universe as opposed to the earth.<br /><br />It is all very nice to speak in generalities. You can wave your hands and offer apologetics, and malign others along the way.<br /><br />kol tuv,<br />joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-22382818826582437762012-01-16T07:29:06.031-05:002012-01-16T07:29:06.031-05:00Alex,

Indeed, it is very possible that the GR'A and the Shevus Yaakov were talking about the universe.
