<br><br>Let's put it back in the Maharal's terms.<br><br>Someone who changes the weights to find a desired result is no longer<br>simplifying an Infinite Truth to fit it into this universe. Different<br>shadows of the same object are each valid. But if you trace the shadow
<br>while changing the direction of the lighting mid-stream, you are left<br>with a picture something that isn't a shadow of the original. The<br>weighting can't simply be to justify the result; and in that sense<br>
even including human cost is different than ends-driven decision<br>making.<br><br>The weighting system, the angle of the light, is the a priori -- and<br>must itself be a product of the halakhos of making halakhah.<br><br>
SheTir'u baTov!<br>-micha<br><br>--<br>Micha Berger </blockquote><div><br>And the aforementioned Rabbi ABC posits that:<br><blockquote>Since Behag and Tosafos areby using a Tosefta against an n explict Bavli to remove the right of women to read Megillah on bahalf of men, is distortiion the weights and is in efffect - if not in intention - promoting a misogynistic agenda!
<br><br>IOW - why use Davka THIS Tosefta to overrule THIS Bavli unless one has an inner prejudice that cause a special selectivity to take place?<br></blockquote></div></div><br>-- <br>Kol Tuv / Best Regards,<br><a href="mailto:RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com">
