Marc Trius<p>&quot;Everything <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chazal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Chazal</span></a> said about the virtue of living in Eretz Yisrael, they only said because Eretz Yisrael is generally a place that is outstanding in chochmah and yiras cheit (outstanding in wisdom and fear of sin)... </p><p>It goes without saying that when the Meiri writes “every place that is metzuyan b’chochmah v’yiras cheit has the status of Eretz Yisrael,” he doesn’t mean this literally. ... there are important distinctions that exist...&quot;</p><p><a href="https://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/my-babylonian-zionism-and-why-it" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/</span><span class="invisible">p/my-babylonian-zionism-and-why-it</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>judaism</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>zionism</span></a></p>
Gilad<p>Every year during <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Chanukah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chanukah</span></a> we read the parshiot in the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/torah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>torah</span></a> about the story of Yosef. And the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/talmud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>talmud</span></a> in masaechet <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Shabbat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shabbat</span></a> (22a) juxtaposes the laws of chanukah with the episode of the brothers throwing Yosef in the pit. It seems <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Chazal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chazal</span></a> want us to connect Yosef to Chanuka, but what is the lesson?
