dear Rabbi New
Although I listen to you shiurim, this one on Shema/Va'eschanan is such an illumination and gift from you to all of us. It is extraordinary and filled with many lessons on so many subjects. Since I share the weekly parshot with my children, this gift extends to another generation. May all these words you give surround you as a shield to protect you, keep you healthy and safe always. Much love, R. Singer Reply

He says the idea of "plural" referring to the plurality of sounds, the word after word, the necessity of involvement to "get it" as opposed to the "singularity" of sight in the 1st paragraph...but the plural in paragraph two refers specifically to something completely other than what he is claiming somehow is "hidden" there. Just the fact that the 2nd person plural is used in the 2nd paragraph doesn't connect to what he is saying, yet he is claiming a connection.

I actually don't object to his idea with plural and singular but it's absurd to claim that this is something described or implied in the verse.

All due respect of course! Reply
