AS OF DECEMBER 2013, NEW DIVREI TORAH WILL NOT BE POSTED HERE; THEY WILL BE POSTED AT MY OTHER WEBSITE, BEIS VAAD, beisvaad.blogspot.com Existing posts on this website will not be updated, and if there will be any new posts here, while they will be Torah-oriented, will not be yeshivish.
Then there is the famous answer, attributed to the Ibn Ezra, as to whether pieces of bees that are in honey make it treif. He was mattir, because פרשנו רעבתן שבדבש נתבער ונשרף which means "we have explained that the consumer in honey (the bee) is consumed and incinerated."
Please let me know if you ever find out the source of this ma'amar.
I don't know yet: I heard this when I was learning Chullin many years ago, but I don't remember where it comes from. I called the biggest expert on the Ibn Ezra that I know, Dr. Abraham Lipshitz, who has printed several sefarim on the Ibn Ezra, but he didn't know off hand. I am hoping he will be annoyed enough to track it down for me. He is in Israel now, but I think he will have something for me when he gets back to the US, and when that happens I will post the information, bln.
That will have to do for the time being. But zemiros? Can it be that someone wrote a zemer with that kind of word play and didn't insert his name in the roshei shuros?

ReplyDeleteI checked the Otzer Hachamah got two matches that just brought it down a Zemiros and a sefer called Tiv Haparsha

ReplyDeleteThe final word on attribution: Nobody has any reliable attribution on the Ra'avsan line.
