While the comment is interesting, this is a clear case of misrepresentation and deceit.

Shavuous is inherently connected to Pesach because it is set 50 days FROM PESACH and doesn't have it's own date mentioned in the Torah. <BR/><BR/>2. What Shmini Atzeres is to Sukkos (two distinctly separate holidays, right), Shavuos is to Pesach: it is the culmination of the holiday.Nemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402531988433648505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956851062928470828.post-30777740204417484112008-05-13T18:48:00.000-05:002008-05-13T18:48:00.000-05:00Dear Mister R.

Moreover, your humorous description of the Egyptians' actions brought a chuckle to my lips. Most of all I liked your unique and inimitable way of relating the kashrus issues that were part and parcel with the acceptance of the Torah. The question of eating in Moses house before the Sinaitic Reveleation is reminiscent of the many other paradoxes inherent in backward time travel, which tease our understanding of causality. I.e. what makes an animal kosher and what makes one thing precede another. Yours as always, Leo d. TootAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
