And we are.<br /><br />Here is something else about today's daf in Daf Yomi:<br /><br />Well, I just got a tip from an acquaintance. Today is the tenth of Tevet. The daf Yomi page for the day is Yoma 35. On that page, the Gemorrah relates the famous story of Hillel HaZaqen, during the month of Tevet, lying flat on the roof of the Beit HaMedrash of Avtalyon and Shemaya to drink in the words of Torah being spoken. He was on top of the roof all night long ON EREV SHABBAT listening when 3 amot (five feet) of snow fell on him. They found him the next morning and scraped him off the roof and gave him a place in the Beit HaMedrash in which he could not afford to pay the entrance fee. Yes, Hillel was that poor, but that committed to learning Torah. And I look outside, and it is snowing. five feet of snow in the forecast?? I don't know, but what a Daf for Daf yomi!!Dov Bar-Leibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-14055527897937613212013-12-12T21:41:45.722+02:002013-12-12T21:41:45.722+02:00Thanks for passing that along Esser.

Psalms 148:8<br /><br />Not a "source" per se for doing positive vs. negative things, but it does back up HaShem's "use of snow."<br /><br />Also, if <b><a href="http://esseragaroth.blogspot.com/2013/12/foreign-troops-on-israeli-soil-imminent.html" rel="nofollow">Kerry</a></b> is still here, it's like a new attempt at a "siege" on Jerusalem.<br /><br />I also have to be the one to remind us that Kerry is also a form of ritual impurity (קרי).Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-51864808770837755452013-12-12T20:16:37.201+02:002013-12-12T20:16:37.201+02:00Hey, Dov!

The temperatures on Motzei Shabbat/ Sunday morning are set to fall to 12 degrees Fahrenheit in what is for now a united Yerushalayim. Fahrenheit is a more precise scale than the Celsius scale. So I like using it. There are 9 degrees of Fahrenheit range for every 5 degrees Celsius. Yet, it must be said that I don't think that the temperature has ever fallen below 25 degrees Fahrenheit during the the ten winters that I have lived here. This is bizarre. 12 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT ON MOTZEI SHABBAT!! Protect your pipes by letting the water drip from your faucets on Motzei Shabbat!<br /><br />Great point Karcha baDerekh is a blast of Arctic air!Dov Bar-Leibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-48794625090835247252013-12-12T16:56:29.335+02:002013-12-12T16:56:29.335+02:00Archangel Micha'el at work?
