Eikev, Devarim 8:9 Avaneha Barzel

In this week's parsha the passuk says
אֶרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אֲבָנֶיהָ בַרְזֶל
and please see Taanis 4a.

  3. Thank you!
    I don't follow this post regularly (maybe I should), but it so happened that I found this one on Rosh-Chodesh Elul, a good time as ever for והעבר רעה מבשרך

  4. I assume you are the Eli of Torah ugedula bemakom echad. In any case, that is a very good passuk to remember now, both as the Ramban uses it in his Igeret based on Nedarim 22, and on how the Meiri in Taanis 4 uses it. Thanks.
