philosophically rather than linguistically, I would conclude<BR>that "boneh" is
the form used both for "builder" and for "is building",<BR>that the noun and the
present tense verb are the same thing. To put<BR>the idea back into its
philosophical context, it means that as long as you<BR>are dancing, you are a
dancer. We are making a distinction the Author<BR>of Leshon haQodesh is
"intentionally" guiding us away from making. It's<BR>a philosophical
error.<BR><BR><SPAN class=HOEnZb><FONT color=#888888><BR>--<BR>Micha
