And then this Bear, Pooh Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, F.O.P. (Friend of Piglet's), R.C. (Rabbit's Companion), P.D. (Pole Discoverer), E.C. and T.F. (Eeyore's Comforter and Tail-finder)--in fact, Pooh himself--said something so clever that Christopher Robin could only look at him with mouth open and eyes staring, wondering if this was really the Bear of Very Little Brain whom he had know and loved so long.

three notes from this week

i'm taking the LSAT in a week (why? well, that's a very good question...)
in honor of this impending event, i started to study last week.
the only real pattern i can notice is that i always do badly (significantly more mistakes) in the section after the logic games section (though not in that section itself, anymore).
so then its all just about nerves, eh?
maybe i need to spend the rest of the week meditating, then...

on an entirely unrelated note, i love it how sketchy chassidishe businessmen justify their requests for checks made out to cash, etc, with "i didn't charge you any taxes" and not "i don't pay taxes." i mean, i do benefit (is that unethical, btw?), but to put it that way implies that i would have chosen the tax-less option if asked, which is not true...

also, if anyone can point me in the direction of some of the primary (allegedly kabbalistic) sources discouraging women's participation in havdalah-related things (eg, drinking the wine) that would help me with a project i'm working on, which i may discuss later...

shabbat shalom, hey!

At 11:31 PM, jacob said...: The Shulchan Aruch discusses women making havdala. From what I recall their hiyyuv is a machloket. the Rema says that they should not make havdala for themselves. I also Remember Rav Ovadia Yosef discussing it. He should bring down all the sources. Even without getting into the kabbalistic discussion he would probably cite the kitvie Ari. If you have no luck, let me know and I will give you more detail.

As for the LSAT...that requires another post.
At 10:18 AM, jacob said...: See Yalkut Yosef helek 4 (Shabbat 1) hilchot havdala al hayayin, footnote 15 where he brings different reasons why some say women shouldnt drink from the wine.

"Bother!" said Pooh, as he opened it. "All that wet for nothing. What's that bit of paper doing?" He took it out and looked at it. "It's a Missage," he said to himself, "that's what it is. And that letter is a 'P,' and so is that, and so is that, and 'P' means 'Pooh,' so it's a very important Missage to me, and I can't read it. I must find Christopher Robin or Owl or Piglet, one of those Clever Readers who can read things, and they will tell me what this missage means. Only I can't swim. Bother!" Then he had an idea, and I think that for a Bear of Very Little Brain, it was a good idea. He said to himself: "If a bottle can float, then a jar can float, and if a jar floats, I can sit on the top of it, if it's a very big jar." ... "All boats have to have a name," he said, "so I shall call mine The Floating Bear." And with these words he dropped his boat into the water and jumped in after it. For a little while Pooh and The Floating Bear were uncertain as to which of them was meant to be on the top, but after trying one or two different positions, they settled down with The Floating Bear underneath and Pooh triumphantly astride it, paddling vigorously with his feet.
