Does anyone know how to reach the Weinberg brothers of the (defunct) Mishna Project?
I have their first album (which I highly recommend, if you can find it), and I'd like to get in touch with them.
@msh210 As stated in the comments, I neither agree nor disagree with you. I see both sides of the issue. I just thought it was worth a shot. If the community wants to close it, I'll just delete it.
I've been trying to figure out how to reach them for the longest time. Would you be more comfortable if I removed their name and referred only to the project as an institution?
Per the [FAQ](http://judaism.stackexchange.com/faq#close) : •too localized This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.
@SethJ Again: possible but still "narrow" IMHO. That is why I voted to close. Others may disagree and think it is more applicable or have a different line for how narrow is too narrow.
"Too localized" should be used for very tiny geographic regions or vanishingly small periods of time. It is used when a question cannot possibly be answered because nobody participating in the site is likely to know the answer, and even if it were answered, nobody else would care.
For me, the ca...
Beats me. Other stuff also doesn't. Like **this**. And *this*.
OI would've asked if they were planning on restarting the project, but I figured I would've gotten suggestions to contact them and ask them, so I figured I'd cut to the chase.
IIRC Close votes expire after 2 days. A short term save may be all you need to get it flushed off the main screen where someone can eventually stumble across it while searching google.
The system has actually been reworked recently to take into account low-traffic beta sites:
If the question has less than 100 views, the votes never expire
If the question has more than 100 views, close votes expire at a rate of one every 4 days.
But closing is supposed to be a (mostly) spont...
@msh210 btw, turns out that closing as "historical" only recently changed to remove the questions from the tag list. Last week actually, just in time to mess up our purim plans!
Ok, food for thought: At the end of p'kudei: "וַיְכַס הֶעָנָן אֶת אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וּכְבוֹד יְהוָה מָלֵא אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן". 1. What is the ohel moed. Is it different from the mishkan? And (2) what is k'vod hashem, and is it related to the anan? Also wondering, what do chazal mean when they say "shechina"? Does anyone know any good sources that thoroughly explain this, preferably in a more rational, less mystical, fashion?
@jake I always thought that the rational (or at least not kabbalistic) explanation for Shechina is m'lashon "v'shachanti b'socham". That the Shechina is G-d's "presence" in this world, such as it is.
@HodofHod Yes. What I mean is that usually the rationalist position, like that of Rambam, is that God does not have a presence in this world, or at least in one place any more than another.

@HodofHod "locking as". Interesting. Actually, it happened just in time so that we'd notice it at the time we were doing the locking and wouldn't have a nasty surprise whenever in the future we next looked at the tag
Until recently, I usually served as unofficial host for the Parashat Hashavua' Chat. Unfortunately, it seems that for the foreseeable future, I won't be able to attend. Would you be willing to take over this job, to help keep the Chat running smoothly?
No one's going to be able to do it every si...
@SethJ It could be, but if we understand the different concepts and functions they represent then we may better understand why each of those two ideas was paired with its corresponding phrase.
@SethJ It is no doubt poetic. The question is analyzing the particular word choice (diction, syntax etc.) involved.
@SethJ I don't know. Maybe something like (SPECULATION): the ohel moed represents God's communication with the Jews while the mishkan represents God's presence in the jewish camp. So it fits that kavod (the amorphous concept) is with mishkan and anan (the "instantiation" of God lehavdil) is with ohel.
Ok, I interpreted the answers as glossing over the poetry and trying to understand them separately. I think they are not really separate in this context.
