I lived in Herzliya Pituah in 2005-2006. I read an article in the newspaper that described Job as a coded message about military movements, etc. It was very well laid out and presented - enough so to seem compelling. But without sources, it's difficult to know what has been fabricated. I would love to hear someone knowledgable address that. I do agree that we are generally limited in our understanding by our experience. Imagine someone from thousands of years ago witnessing an airplane landing, and a bunch of people climbing onboard. How would they describe that? A giant bird came from the sky and devoured people? Or maybe the people sacrificed themselves to the giant bird? They would have no other reasonable ways to describe it.
We need a medrash compilation with relevant commentaries on the page explaining if it is metaphor or the pnimious of it. In fact we need this on gemoras too, commentaries on the page abit like mesivta.
"... The sound of Ridya as well. Ridya is the angel tasked with irrigating the earth, who calls to the heavens and to the aquifers to provide their water ..." (Yoma 21a) "... the depths cry out to the depths" (Tehilim 42:8). "Ridya" is the Aramaic term for a bull plowing a field; this angel is called such due to that which it resembles a calf in appearance "Rabba said: I have seen this angel in charge of water, Ridya, in the form of a calf whose lips were parted, standing between the lower waters of the deep and the upper waters of the deep." (Ta'anis 25b).
I was hoping that Rabbi Kaplan would touch on Midrash Abkir, since he spoke explicitly about a few other midrashim here. Would it be possible to do a video on Midrash Abkir in the future?
Very interesting....Pls indicate where in the Talmud can you find the description of the Demon, "Radio", or about the bird dropping an egg on a city and be destroyed. Which tractates and passages can they be found? This would motivate me to study this.
I’m researching the life of Pharaoh, I cannot find anything substantial to suggest that he died in the Red Sea. This leaves open the possibility to confirm the Midrash story that he later became the king of ninevah, and led his people to believe Jonah. This would create a more reasonable story that God hardened his heart in Exodus to prove His power, making pharaoh into witness.
You have obviously studied this more than I have and I was wondering how the Midrash reconciles the view that Pharoah survives, as is completely possible based just on Exodus, with the verse in Pslams 136:15 "Who hurled Pharaoh and his army into the Sea of Reeds?"
@@williamgoloboy3074 I Looked at Pslams and concluded David had to hear about it from the book of exodus. I believe the Bible is the true word of God but I do not believe He would prevent David from making this factual error, if the theory is true. I considered that Psalm a secondary source.
That's not true. Midrash are interpretations of Rabbis. That is why there are many different Midrash on the same topic, which even contradict each other.

If it was passed down to us there wouldn't be 4395 opinions on 1 topic but thanks for trying rabbi.

Torah is found in the dead sea scrolls. Research it yourself.
Is a midrash a Jewish Rabbi's commentary or interpretation of Torah?
It's basically Rabbinic Talmudic myths... A complete fabrication made up by the rabbis of the time...
You didn’t do the math, but I did. At 20 miles per day it would take 13,700 years, not 500 years to walk to the sun.
good for you dude

Do we know which pharoah he may have been?

Hi
To say that an ‘Idea’ is not kosher... is to say that Man is not a creation of G-d.
What about Zohar? Is Zohar safe?

Can't comment on the Jewish stuff but that radio thing definitely isn't true
