In Today's class on Bar Lev's sefer "y'did Nefesh" the Teacher R Chayyim - opened his lesson as follows<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
RC: "Well it's mamash pashut that all 49 days of s'fira are one long chol hamoed"<br><br>RRW: Wait a minute - while these DOES explains the ARI's minhag, it does not seem so Pashut at all. Many people are disputing me on the internet on this ver same topic <br>
<br>RC: [after disaparging the internet and its debates] Start with Humash<br><br>RRW: Well I could not find my suspected source - namely the Ramban on Humash though indeed the Tur et al. mention the drash of sheva shabbassos but as I mentioned no one equates that to Chol Hamoed mamash<br>
<br>RC: well maybe you should csee a Bar-ilan CD I"m sure it's there somewhere<br><br>RRW: Well, I'm pretty convinced I save this idea and that I did NOT make it up so maybe it is out there somewhere<br></blockquote>
<br>Anyone have a reference that equates or makes a comparison between the 49 days of S'fira and Chol Hamoed? <br clear="all"><br>Gut Voch<br><br>-- <br>Shalom uVRacha<br>RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com<br>see: <a href="http://nishmablog.blogspot.com/">http://nishmablog.blogspot.com/</a><br>
