[Avodah] Birkat Kohanim

[Richard Wolberg]

Was it an onesh, or a causal connection? Hashem made His Presence manifest
in a way that made it clear He was greater than the sun. Such brightness
blinds.

 

But to answer your question... Blind people tend not to look at too many
things. What second time?

 

That's a very interesting  concept. It would be like drinking poison. You
wouldn't die as a result of an onesh, but rather the consequences of the
deed. The question then comes: if HaShem made His presence manifest that
made it clear He was greater than the sun, couldn't there be a more gentle
way of informing us? With the poison, you're dealing with an inanimate
situation, but with HaShem, you would expect more understanding. Also, the
analogy, though appealing, really isn't satisfying (at least to me).

 

Regarding "What second time", that was a trick question which you obviously
knew. It's like asking "If Tisha b'Av falls on Rosh Chodesh, do you recite
Hallel?
