I appreciate the teaching of Rav Gordan and his humor that he interjects. May blessings be poured out upon everyone at Chabad for making his teachings available. And may Rav Gordan's soul ascend to new heights each time someone learns from his lessons. Reply

Baal Ha Turin Chumash Who is the writer and book company for the Baal Ha Turim you use for Torah study? Reply

in response to David Gerry:

Some "simple" Hebrew volumes of Chumash include Baal HaTurim. I think that's what Rabbi Gordon is using.
For English, you can search for "Baal Haturim Chumash - 5 - Volume Set" or individual volumes, available from some Judaica stores or online. It's from Artscroll Mesorah Publications.

BTW, I love Baal HaTurim! Reply

Mixture of wool and linen Like with many other things, "shatnez" was permitted in the Mishkan. Reply

Mixture of wool and linen The Mishkan coverings were made from wool intertwined with linen, which is shatnez, prohibited to wear. Please comment. Reply

Is G-D forgetting us? This is a question about Exodus 28:12.

My first language is Dutch. Therefore, your Yiddish jokes are highly appreciated, because I understand most of them. Nevertheless, Dutch is a very direct language, more so than English.

The English translation of verse 28:12 is, “…and Aaron shall carry their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders as a remembrance.” As you said, “G-D will remember their [the Israelites’] righteousness.” However, the Dutch Tanach translates the same verse slight differently, (paraphrased), the everlasting-One will remember the Israelites when Aaron carries their names before the Lord.

Hence my question, why does G-D need a reminder of Israel’s righteousness? Alternatively, why does G-D need a reminder at all? After all, isn’t G-D all-knowing?

There are more passages in the Bible where G-D reminds himself about situations (e.g., Genesis 8:1, 30:22, and Exodus 2:24).

Many thanks!

Ps. which book do you use for the Gematria? Reply

It is simply circumstance. Ceremonial. Like any good court, there is a recorder. An official record. It is for our benefit, and to disqualify the accuser.
