A cartoon dog in a room full of flames, the speech bubble has been modified to say “Rabah Emunatecha” which means “abundant is your grace” in Hebrew (which is from Lamentations 3)

Lamentations 3 is always curious to me, because it goes from terrifying imagery to alarmingly positive in the course of a few lines. It kind of reads to me like this:
A cartoon dog surrounded by a burning room with a speech bubble that says “this is fine”

Two images stacked on top of each other Top image: Sefaria screenshot that says “hinting at this verse, and indeed, Rav's wife would constantly aggravate him. When he would say to her: Prepare me lentils, she would prepare him peas; if he asked her for peas, she would prepare him lentils.” Bottom image: Jessica Walter’s character on arrested development holding a cupcake and saying “good for her”

The Jewish version of this is Hillel tweeting that too many people have come to the faith thinking that it’s impossible to learn all the Torah while standing on one foot
In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never "embodied." Such experiences remain "disembodied," detached from the "ecclesial body."

Remember to check your kid’s candy today! I found a far fetched Talmudic scenario in this Snickers bar!
A broken apart snickers bar with a screenshot from Sefaria that says “Bava Batra 23b:7 Rabbi Yirmeya raises a dilemma: If one leg of the chick was within fifty cubits of the dovecote, and one leg was beyond fifty cubits, what is the halakha? The Gemara comments: And it was for his question about this far-fetched scenario that they removed Rabbi Yirmeya from the study hall, as he was apparently wasting the Sages’ time.”

Thank you! It’s my Rav Yohanan necklace :)
my tenth son? Rabbi Yohanan experienced the death of ten of his children, and he kept a small bone from his tenth child as a painful memorial. He would show that bone to others in order to console them, and since he showed it to them, the deaths of his children must certainly have been affliction of love. He consoled others by displaying that there is an element of intimacy with God that exists in that suffering (Tosafot). Why, then,

I can relate to Adam, the first man, on a deeply personal level because I too instantly blame myself when things start going wrong around me
the Sages taught: When Adam the first man saw that the day was progressively diminishing, as the days become shorter from the autumnal equinox until the winter solstice, he did not yet know that this is a normal phenomenon, and therefore he said: Woe is me; perhaps because I sinned the world is becoming dark around me and will ultimately return to the primordial state of chaos and disorder. And this is the death that
