[Avodah] Birkat Kohanim

[Richard Wolberg]

In both cases Hashem created something and let it obey rules that allow harm
to come to people.

That certainly cannot be denied; however, there are miracles and exceptions,
if and when HaShem wishes to employ them - many times far beyond our
comprehension.

 

You err in your description of the tannaim. Hillel and Shammai rarely
disagreed. It was batei Hillel veShammai who had all the machloqesin.

 

If you are saying that the machloqesin were initiated and generated by the
batei Hillel and Shammai, it seems you are putting a negative take on it.
What happened to eilu v'eilu. Secondly, even if it were the batei who had
them, they nevertheless reflected their respective Rebbie. Thirdly, I
thought is was an accepted fact that Hillel treated people much more kindly
than Shammai. Two cases in point: the goy who asked to learn the Torah al
regel achas and the bride on her wedding day who Shammai said was ugly and
Hillel said was beautiful. 

 

I disagree with your point. Poison /is/ equally "with Hashem."

 

I cannot see how you can equate the two. HaShem made the poison available,
just as HaShem created "evil" - Yotzer or uvoreh hara.  Chazal changed the
word RA to HAKOL for the very reason that Hara is /NOT/ equally "with
HaShem." Likewise Poison is /NOT/ equally with HaShem.
