@TurkHill I saw your message before you edited it. I'm not surprised you did, considering it showed your true colors. Rule #1 in life: If you think everyone is wrong and you're the only one who is right, you must be missing something crucial.

I don't recommend getting involved with @TurkHill. They have shown many times on this site that they have a corrupted view of Judaism that no one believes in, especially the Rambam.

Yes women are obligated in negative commandments, but not "the negative element of positive commandments" that they are exempt from...If the Alshich is necessary for your answer then you should cite him. Also women are exempt from pru urvu not because it's timebound but rather because it's not their norm to conquer.

Nor do any of your citations. I'm not saying you're wrong in anything you wrote. I'm saying you have failed to demonstrate its veracity.

Again, "the negative elements of pru urvu apply to all Jewish women and form the foundation for all 7 noahide commandments" is the plain meaning of which written text? Which chapter and verse?
robev
May 18, 2023 18:40
Perhaps a homosexual is nullifying the obligation of pru urvu but that's not relevant to who is liable for homosexual relations or not. The negative elements of that commandment apply to all Jewish women and also form the foundation for all the 7 Noahide commandments. That requires citation for as far as I can tell you made that up.
robev
May 18, 2023 18:40
How do you know that the prohibition of homosexuality stems from the mitzvah of pru urvu? As @Shalom mentioned, non-Jews aren't commanded in pru urvu so you need a different angle to answer this question. I don't see how adultery is the negative dimensino of pru urvu. One can easily be fruitful and multiply with other people's wives...The two concepts are independent. How do you know that homosexuality is included in the forbidden relations for a non-Jew? That is the crux of the question here...which you totally ignore.

The prohibition against prohibited sexual relations (which is a negative commandment and includes all forms of homosexuality) How do you know? That's their entire question...

Probably not worth posting as a question. I saw today that the Maharatz Chajes on Bava Kamma 27b mistakenly thought the Ketzos wrote the Kuntres HaSefeikos, when in fact his brother wrote it. I was curious if anyone else made this mistake.

> A sefer whose insights a young Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach would eagerly hear directly from their author. He was so enthralled that he implored Rav Salant to put these powerful lessons into print.

Be’er Yosef is a treasure trove of unique insights on the parashah. The simplest questions, often left unaddressed by earlier authorities, are given the most profound yet intuitive answers. Rav Yosef Tzvi Salant provides a unique combination of his mastery of Midrash with his mesorah from the mussar giant Rav Yitzchak Blazer, the primary student of Rav Yisroel Salanter.

It is on sale for $24.99 USD, and is expected to reach the US and begin distribution throughout North America by October 1st. It should already be on sale in English seforim stores in Israel, and can also be purchased directly from me in Yerushalayim for a discounted price.

@TurkHill I apologize if you feel attacked. I thought you knew that you refuse to budge. Anyone familiar with Hebrew will know that עזבו doesn't translate to atheist. You have to prove that it does. Otherwise your interpretation doesn't start. Now let's see if you admit you're wrong.
