Quote from Sauerberg book

Not that there’s much need to remember; we are seldom defeated online in our search for what we have already found. Now we depend not on orientation to page or wall but on a set of remembered words, not necessarily in sequence. And here we participate in a relationship of some interest.

Having thus located the book in the large space of the...

history - In Deuteronomy 4:13 why were the Ten Commandments written on two tablets? - Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange

In Deuteronomy 4:13 why were the Ten Commandments written on two tablets? Dr. Meshulam Margaliot points out that Midrashic tradition is divided about what was written on which tablet. The options seem to be: 1–5 on one and 6–10 on the other. (This is the tradition interpretation that is most common in art and synagogue decoration.) All 10 on each tablet. Even numbered on one and odd on the other (as suggested by Mike Bull), does not seem to be a Jewish interpretation represented in the ...

Why Did Moses Break the Tablets? - Parshah Focus - Parshah

Why Did Moses Break the Tablets? Question: Why did Moses break the tablets? I heard that his reason was the Torah-mandated capital punishment for idolatry. If he would give the Torah to the Jews at this point, they would be condemned to death, so he instead broke the tablets to save the Jews. Is this correct? Are there other reasons too? Answer: The midrashim and various biblical commentaries suggest many reasons to explain Moses’ action. The following are a few of them: 1) The ...

We have already reached alarming levels of bad quarantine content | The Outline

We have already reached alarming levels of bad quarantine content To the well-known political, economic, and cultural revolutions that inaugurated capitalist modernity, we ought to add a fourth: a pharmacological revolution, one that began innocently enough with a variety of foreign substances — coffee, tea, chocolate — and culminated in a multi-billion dollar regulatory regime responsible for adapting subjects to their alienating conditions of existence.
