Seed Source Info: 5 Harsh Realities Of Presents

Seed Source Info: 5 Harsh Realities Of Presents: "An ordinary object like a pen can be made more special by giving it a personalized engraving to give it a greater value to your loved one than just a simple pen. Instead of buying your brother a shirt from the clothing store that is so common, ten other guys are wearing the same print, you can give him one with a customized print to make it more special. By personalizing your gift, you can definitely tell your gift receiver that the present is especially for them."

These (in part) being creating new websites and writing. I had tried the concept of involving others, even something as straight forward as saying to friends or relatives; how would you like to negotiate the sale of this domain for example.

Articles: Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write: ""Since the merits of the Law Review's selection policy has been the subject of commentary for the last three issues," wrote Obama, "I'd like to take the time to clarify exactly how our selection process works."

More U.S. Children of Immigrants Are Leaving U.S. - NYTimes.com: "One was creating an e-commerce business, another a public relations company, still others a magazine, a business incubator and a gossip and events Web site.

“I’d sit there on Facebook and on the phone and hear about them starting all these companies and doing all these dynamic things,” recalled Mr. Kapadia, 25, who was born in India but grew up in the United States. “And I started feeling that my 9-to-5 wasn’t good enough anymore.”"

'Zorba the Greek' composer:... JPost - Jewish World - Jewish News

'Zorba the Greek' composer:... JPost - Jewish World - Jewish News: "Dr. Shimon Samuels, the Weisenthal Center's director for international relations, said that such self-declared racists "must be scorned and marginalized. They can no longer serve as icons for their peers or for the younger generation."

Kyriakos Loukakis, the Greek ambassador in Israel, wrote in an e-mail to The Jerusalem Post on Monday, “I would like to inform you that, as a matter of principle, we do not comment on opinions of private citizens. Secondly, the Greek government has always opposed extreme views. Thirdly, relations between Greece and Israel are very friendly.”"

Path, FamilyLeaf and Pair, Small-by-Design Social Networks - NYTimes.com

Path, FamilyLeaf and Pair, Small-by-Design Social Networks - NYTimes.com: "Newer social networks, like Path, FamilyLeaf and Pair, offer a range of constraints. A Path network, available only on smartphones, has a maximum of 150 friends. FamilyLeaf is restricted to family members. And Pair, which like Path is for smartphones only, is as small as a social network can be: just one other person.

The average Facebook user in United States has 245 friends, according to a study published in February by the Internet and American Life Project of the Pew Research Center. That figure, however, well exceeds the “Dunbar number,” the 150 meaningful relationships that Robin Dunbar, an anthropologist, has suggested is the effective neurological limit the human brain can handle."

The silence is killing Pollard | Tzvi Fishman | Ops & Blogs | The Times of Israel

The silence is killing Pollard | Tzvi Fishman | Ops & Blogs | The Times of Israel: " It doesn’t matter that the information that Pollard gave the Israelis probably saved hundreds of Israeli lives. The fact is that as an American citizen, Pollard betrayed America, and that’s something American Jews don’t dare identify with, even if the poor fellow has served nearly 30 years of a life sentence (a sentence unheard of for handing over secrets to an ally); even if he never received an honest trial; even if his health is in grave danger; even if the government of Israel has requested his pardon — none of this matters to American Jews. Why?"

Torah and Science: Torah, Science, and Greek Philosophy

Torah and Science: Torah, Science, and Greek Philosophy: "One of the obstacles to the joint study of Torah and science is the mistaken perception as if there are contradictions between Torah and science. There are Torah scholars who do not learn science because they believe that science contradicts the Torah.

Not everything called "science" is science, and not everything called "Torah" is Torah. We show that there is never a contradiction between real Torah and real science. Human imagination, extrapolations, wishful speculations, mistaken theories, and leftovers of Greek philosophy are often believed to be part of Torah or science rather than what they really are. The controversy involving contradictions between Torah and Science is a result of such mistaken beliefs. Understanding the source of the mistaken beliefs resolves the apparent contradictions and shows that Torah and Science are in perfect harmony."

'via Blog this'

Editor's Note:


This 'eternal' debate is definitely occupies a special place in my heart. While I too see more 'agreement' then conflict, I feel compelled to state that Torah and Science being in perfect harmony is a very bold statement indeed.

My proof as to the difficulty of this statement is this twofold concept:

It is perhaps good that Torah and Science are not total harmony because then how would one outlook sharpen the other. In fact Torah and Torah are not in complete harmony, find any two rabbis and you will probably find 1000's of things they disagree on. In fact the entire Talmud is filled with often diametrically opposed "interpretations" of even what might seem to be the most concrete or cut and dry laws or Halacha.

Science is of course no different. While it may be true that some theories are widely held and believed, there are also 1000's of things where there are major disagreements.

People much wiser than me, 1000's of years ago have already put this matter to rest when they stated that a solid foundation in science is needed to understand some of the most esoteric, deep, and mysterious elements of our Holy Torah.

By denying science as a valid method of understanding our world and the universe those very same people are denying an aspect of their very own religion  potentially because it is too difficult to either understand or explain.

An explanation is not and can never be wrong simply because it is too complex. By denying young minds complete access to the great storehouse of knowledge (some if which has their secrets "locked away" in scientific explanation) scholars who put down science because they do not understand the methodology it utilizes are doing a huge disservice to the students that suffer because of significant gaps in their education.

Simplicity not the only answer, its just easy (and fast). | TheWritersCafe.org

Simplicity not the only answer, its just easy (and fast). | TheWritersCafe.org: "So if we say the phrases “us” and “our” are being used because G-d consulted with angels, then imagine what sort of questions might be used as follow-up.

1. Could it be that G-d felt in necessary to justify his creation to angels?
2. Who and what are angels and how can you even bring them up if there is no mention in our Holy Torah of their creation?
The discipline of philosophy generally establishes some “ground rules” for any sort of “philosophic” discourse. The ground rules may state “for example” if you want to explain something using an explanation which has also been “recorded” elsewhere, you still must be prepared to justify the answer as if it was your own."

revealingthesoul.com » 2012 » March » 15: "The first Hebrew word of the book of Genesis is “Breishis.” It is a composite of two words boro – create and shis which one of its meanings is hole (shitim.) In other words creation comes to us through the metaphor of holes.

The Hebrew name Betzalel means in the shadow of power (God.) (Exodus 35:30) “Betzalel son of Uri (light) son of Chur (hole.)” He was blessed by the Creator to know all the variations of flow in the spiritual realm and thus was able to make a physical tabernacle reflecting all the vibrations of the spiritual realms.

He understood the secret of the Hebrew letters and each detail that they represented. The word for letters in Hebrew is “oss” which also means sign. The Hebrew letters are a sign for something. The shape and form of each Hebrew letter and word reflects the various flows of life force in creation."

Welcome to Nikolsburg

Welcome to Nikolsburg: "There was no need to hear Hashem’s command; it was enough to see his talents and capabilities to understand that he was chosen for this purpose.



Our sages tell us (Berachos 55a):  “Betzalel knew Hashem.”   Betzalel was so wise that he was able to connect the Hebrew letters in the same way that Hashem connected them to create the world.  Betzalel realized that he had great skills, so he tried to use them for Hashem.  He perfected and enhanced his skills for this purpose to such an extent that he was able to discover the secrets of creation!  He wasn’t satisfied with using his skills for mundane purposes, and in his quest to use them for higher purposes he ultimately was able to discover the deepest secrets of the world."
