Ben's Deli is triangle-K, and has a legal-loophole contract that sells the restaurant to a gentile to stay open on Saturdays. I would personally eat there. But to a lot of Ortho Jews that's as good as treyf. Even so, it would be unfair to require them to put up a sign calling themselves non-kosher

i agree that non-kosher Jewish restaurants should have to admit that. but i fear that, considering the diversity of positions regarding kashrut, this law may be untenable and nearly impossible to fairly enforce

This is, in fact, a good consumer protection law, intended to avoid consumers being confused about whether the food is kosher. Which absolutely happens. I CANNOT tell you how many times friends and family have been sent non-kosher deli for a shiva, work meal, etc

name someone who isn't jewish you can blame

i mean to be fair western aramaic was already well on its way to dropping the pharyngeals

i hate to ask but how did they pronounce the qof? did they say "kwavel" or something

i hadn't seen it, but wow, they didn't even have bgdkpt? pathetic

i more meant that the douay bible was meant for catholics so they wouldn’t have to read a protestant bible, meaning the footnotes aren’t mean to convince protestants that they’re wrong but catholics that they’re right

Surprisingly fewer than you might think though

well this is from the Douay Bible so I think that Protestants were not a concern

leave my peepah out of this

I believe the traditional Muslim approach is to deny the legitimacy of the Tetragrammaton whatsoever because it’s not one of the ninety-nine names of Allah

the earlier strata though. the tannaitic texts, not the amoraic ones

I think probably the thing it actually would be the closest to would be the Western Aramaic of the Yerushalmi and the midrash compilations. Maybe a little bit more archaic but closer to that than biblical.

It almost feels like he’s trying to justify it to Christians who might reject Jewish interpreters as invalid by virtue of their religion. “Look, it’s not just Jews, I also have a Christian by birth and a guy who was raised Jewish but then left it”

citing the Jews Maimonides and Ibn Ezra, the Christian Nicholas of Lyra, and the meshumad Paul of Burgos is an interesting list of sources

already in 1609 scholars knew it was nonsense. here’s an annotation from the douay old testament
