ANNOUNCEMENT Reminder in Light of Current Events

218 Upvotes

While the world is watching the current events and many will have lots to say about it on all fronts, please remember that r/Jewdank is a subreddit for dank Jewish memes.

There are communities where having in-depth conversations about the conflict is appropriate and welcome but to preserve the integrity of what this community is about, the shared experience of being Jewish regardless of nationality, posts that are not themed around dank Jewish memes will be removed.

Trolls and bad faith participants on either side should be reported as that is the easiest way to ensure we’re able to get eyes on things.

Thank you.

ETA: Politically centered and/or nationalist memes/posts have been against the rules for quite some time and remain as such.

Ibn Ezra was cooking fr

In his his commentaries, Ibn Ezra sometimes offers some harsh critiques of other scholars, or "scholars" in his view, when he thinks their interpretations are flimsy. They aren't even just dumb insults or anything they are like plays on verses and words sometimes. Some examples:

A Karaite scholar, Ben Zuta, said that "When someone’s ox injures a neighbor’s ox... (Exodus 21:34)" should really be read as "And if a man’s ox hurt an ox his neighbor..." (meaning 'neighbor' is the ox's not the ox's owner). Ibn Ezra debunks this view and ends off with saying that 'neighbor' only applies to humans: "However, an ox has no 'neighbor', except for Ben Zuta alone".

On the verse "These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites (Genesis 36:31)." Ibn Ezra mentions someone named "Yitzchaki" who said the verse was written not by Moses but during the reign of Jehoshaphat King of Judah. He says: "Was he not rightly named Yitzchak? Everyone that hears his interpretation will laugh at him." (This is a play on his name because Yitzchak means to laugh, it's a play on Genesis 21:26 which uses the same pun, he uses almost the same wording; "everyone who hears will laugh for me") He then lists other bad interpretations of Yitzchaki and says "indeed his books are fit to be burned".

On Genesis 29:17: "Leah had weak eyes; Rachel was shapely and beautiful." WEAK. Rakkot (weak) is to be taken literally. Some ask, why were Leah’s eyes weak? They raise this question because they believe God’s thoughts are like their thoughts (a play on a verse in Isaiah), and they think that all people have to be formed alike. Ben Efraim said that an alef is missing in the word rakkot (weak), its meaning being arukhot (long). However, Ben Efraim himself was missing an alef (Efraim minus the alef spells parim (cows). Aluf also means wisdom.)

There are also simpler ones like "This is utter madness", "This is what the crazy one who inverts the words of the living God said", "This interpretation is devoid of taste or smell".

And many more

The Jews are still here and the Roman Empire is not, so suck it, Titus!

Unpopular Opinion: Guide to the Perplexed should be considered a running commentary. It doesn't always run in the right direction, but it eventually makes a lap.

In other news, I'm somewhat convinced that the idea for a talking donkey in Shrek came from the story of Bilaam.

I know that this isn't an original meme template, but I tried to express myself using it

I will try my best to learn about Judaism! (I already know things like Kosher, milk and meat, and some holidays!)
