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.

dat moshe, etc

for a while i;ve speculated that there is a connection between the "dat moshe ve-yisrael" by which we marry and the "dat moshe vi-yehudit" of mishnah ketubot 7:6.
Yesterday, i read a ketubah of a woman from the dead-sea region in mishnaic times (a wealthy society lady, not a sectarian) where the translation read "according to the laws of moses and the judeans." I'm not sure what the original read, but I thought reinforcedd the yisrael/yehudit connection by providing an alternative that is sort of like each: yehudim.
anyhow, i have no idea what to make of this, or where to find out.
thoughts are appreciated.

ps - in my attempts to find the mishnah citation above without actually opening a mishnah (ie, via google), i came across a seemingly article, moderatly related... didn't read it, though, because my first final is in two weeks...

Why dont you try emailing Lawrence Schiffman, the leading expert on dead sea scrolls (and times), nyu professor, and all around great guy.
