... relations32 [between her and her husband] but not [in respect of] a creditor. Raba, however, stated in the name of R. Nahman; Even a creditor [has been given the same privilege],33 in order that every person shall not take his friend's money and abscond and settle in a country beyond the sea and thus [cause the creditor's] door to be shut in the face of intending borrowers.34 R. SIMEON RULED...
... witnesses in support of his claim. On account of her kethubah. Should she then deny receiving the money he may well impose upon her a Pentateuchal oath on the strength of the evidence of the first witness who was present when she received it. It is only in the case of a kethubah which is an hypothecary obligation (v. supra) that a witness cannot impose upon a defendant the Pentateuchal oath. In view of...
... witness would thus be aware that the second payment is made solely for the purpose of imposing upon her a Pentateuchal oath in respect of the first payment which she fraudulently denied, he would refrain from giving evidence in her favour and the man would thus be able to recover his money. Her peculiar plea that she had two kethubahs would naturally be disregarded in the absence of all supporting...
... time named Epidaphnes. That a claimant may be authorized by a court to seize the property of a defendant in the latter's absence. V. supra p. 532, n. 11f. Cf. supra n. 5. Metaph. Undue difficulty in the collection of a debt would prevent people from risking their money in the granting of loans. Cf. supra p. 558. n. 13. For either claim the woman cannot recover from her absentee husband's property...
... disabled, if fruit, clothes or utensils, they should be allowed to rot, if money or metal vessels he should carry them to the Salt Sea.1 What is meant by disabling? the cutting the tendons of the hoofs beneath the ankle.2 Here, then, we are taught: 'Shall he put it on? That means he is enjoying! Shall he not put it on? Then he confers a benefit!'3 Said R. Mesharsheya the son of R. Idi...
... the destruction of the Temple. Tractate List / Glossary / / Bible Reference ‘Abodah Zarah 13b they should be allowed to rot, if money or metal vessels, he should carry them to the Salt Sea. What is meant by disabling? The door is locked in front of it, so that it dies of itself!1 — Said Abaye: That case is treated differently, so as [to avoid] despising sanctified things.2 ...
... such animal was not fit for a sacrificial purpose, is forbidden by Scripture!8 — Granted; an animal which had been blemished cannot itself be used for sacrifice, yet the money obtained for it may be so used;9 but our case10 is unlike it, in that neither its equivalent in money nor the animal itself is capable of being used for a sacrificial purpose.11 ...
... taken at your wanting to know my background. In fact, it shows you are a responsible editor, which I admire. I have nothing to hide. My story is 100% true. I have gained no money for disclosing; I do NOT go on talk shows, I am unknown and prefer it this way. I have absolutely no secondary gain from doing this, other than the medical bills for my children, which means I work three part-time jobs. This...
... is to answer the skeptics who say that people disclose for: sympathy (I don't want any and don't need it. I made choices and mistakes in my life, and am now involved in restitution); money (I earn $20 a MONTH for my site on Suite 101. I earn $150 to $250 an article when I write on Women's health. Guess which topic I write on more frequently? Yep. Women's health, oncompletely non-abuse issues. The...
... (and trust me, this group makes money. That alone would keep it going even if the rest were just religious hog wash). The leadership levels include businessmen, bankers, and local community leaders. They are intelligent, well educated, and active in their churches.Above local leadership councils are the regional councils, who give dictates to the groups below them, help form the policies and agendas...
... of the SOBs on leadership in San Diego especially Jonathan, the head trainer. She taught me his weaknesses and how to get around him, and stood up to him for me. I wouldn't have survived otherwise. These are NOT nice people and they use and manipulate others viciously.They cut their eye teeth on status, power, and money. I have given all of that up to leave, and am glad to be away from it now...
...., loses its sanctity, which the substitute assumes. Nevertheless, if the latter is not worth as much as the original it must be made up in money, which becomes hekdesh too. Tem. 27b. The substitute is worth less than the original only by an amount that constitutes overreaching, not cancellation. And this implies by Biblical law. Hence according to R. Jonah, R. Johanan is self-contradictory. R. Johanan...
...] lent one hundred zuz for one hundred and twenty? But he thereby committed a trespass,6 and that being so, the money passes out into hullin and is a layman's!7 — Said R. Hoshaia: What is meant here is, e.g., if one [a layman] contracted to supply flour8 at four se'ahs per sela', whilst it subsequently stood at three se'ahs per sela']. As we learnt: If one contracts to supply...
... we know this? — For our Rabbis taught: If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour — this is a general proposition;16 money or stuff — that is a specialization; and it be stolen out of the man's house17 is again a general statement: now in a general proposition followed by a specialization and again by a general proposition you must be guided by the peculiarities of the...
... is to say, there is a point in informing us of any additional instance where ordinary property is treated with greater stringency than hekdesh, there is none in teaching the reverse, as it is obvious that there is greater stringency in regard to hekdesh than to ordinary property.] Hence the proposed clause is inadmissible. By giving money of hekdesh and receiving nothing in immediate return, which...
...] and made repeated calls for his money, it is obvious that he [the purchaser] does not acquire it.2 But what if he wished to sell for a hundred, did not find [a purchaser], though had he taken pains he could have found one; but he took no trouble and sold a field for two hundred, and now he makes repeated calls for his money? Is he as one who sells a field because of its poor quality, or not?3...
... Files Then we may assume that he willingly sold it, and his repeated demands for payment are due not to financial need, but to fear that the purchaser might retract. For it is certain that he sold only under pressure, though a hundred would have sufficed him, and now he presses for money to buy a smaller field with the surplus. Since he took but little trouble to find a purchaser for a small field, it...
... for local relief may not be diverted, even if they exceed the need. Whether the poor really need it all. I.e., calves must be bought with the entire sum, and that which cannot be eaten by the poor on Purim is resold, the money going to the general charity fund. [Some texts omit 'but calves … (only)'. Cf. text, infra 106b.] It is assumed that the reason of R. Meir's stringency is that the...
.... Allah's work comes first." After this he cut Junnaid's hair with great love and devotion, then respectfully bade him farewell. A few days later when someone had given Junnaid money, he went to give some to the barber. But the barber wouldn't take any money, saying, "Have you no shame? You had said to cut your hair in the name of Allah, not for money!" And his whole life Junnaid used to...
... go! But if you say so I will go." He has been forced to go and live with the mother at least for a few days. And he has been living with many families, with many couples. Wherever he goes he makes friendships, and there are so many friends that he is never out of money - he asks everybody! Sattva was once Neerja's lover. Now that love relationship is broken, but the love that has grown between...
... Sattva and Siddhartha has continued. They are still friends - Sattva still has to give him money! He comes every day: "Today I need five rupees, ten rupees." One day Sattva said, "I don't have any money." Then he said "You can ask me!" And he brought five rupees from somewhere and gave it to Sattva! "Why don't you ask me? I have so many friends, I can bring as much...
... money as you want!" Now, this child will be a totally different child! He has lived with Jews and with Christians and with Hindus. He will not be conditioned by anything, he will not have any conditioning. He will have a vast territory of being available to him. That's my idea how all children should grow. then there will be no ugly religious conflicts, wars, bloodshed, no ugly fanaticism, no...
.... He had made his own gravestone, a beautiful, artistic thing, because he did not rely on his wife - she was such a miser that she might put up some ordinary stone. So he had purchased the most costly marble, asked the best artist to make rose flowers on it, and he had written on it: "Rest in peace." When he died his wife discovered that he had not left any money for her. When the will was...
... separate they are inseparable. The very idea of dividing them has been a great calamity. Jews are more interested in money than in meditation. Now, thinking that you have become a meditator they will be afraid. "What are you doing? This is the time to earn money. This is the time to get rooted in the world. Don't waste this precious time!" According to them, when you are young you can do...
... something; as you become old you will be less and less able to make money, to have power, prestige, to make a name in the world. You are wasting your time here. Even with those who are here, if they are Jewish, the hangover continues. One of the sannyasins went to the office a few days ago, in a euphoria - must have touched something intangible in meditation, may have been silent here in the discourse...
... doing nothing? Is this a way a Jew is supposed to behave? Time is money - don't waste it! And, moreover, whether your parents are Jewish or not, parents are parents; they feel offended - they feel offended by the very idea that you think you know more than they know, that you are trying new ways, that you are trying to be wiser than your parents. A Jew arrives in heaven and God, in a very...
... DON'T CARE A BIT ABOUT NIRVANA ANYMORE. PLEASE ACCEPT ME, ALTHOUGH I'M NOT WORTHY OF IT. Aruna Bharti, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST significant things to understand that the very desire for NIRVANA is the only hindrance. You can desire money, you can desire power, you can desire prestige, but you cannot desire nirvana; that is a contradiction in terms. NIRVANA simply means the understanding that all desires...
..., one is so totally finished that one forgets all about it; one does not move to the opposite extreme. The opposite extreme is also part of the same desire. First you are too much attached, then you start becoming too much detached - another extreme. A man is running after money, then one day he gets tired, then he starts running away from money. He says, "I don't want even to see money, I don't...
... want even to touch money." But this is the same man. The greatest disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave, does not look at money. If you take money in front of him he immediately closes his eyes. What does it mean? It simply means that still somewhere the attachment goes on lingering. Now, behind all this detachment it is the same attachment. Now attachment is standing on its head, it is doing...
... lose. You cannot lose anything because, in the first place, to lose you have to have it. I know you are absolutely poor. By "poor" I don't mean that you don't have money; by "poor" I mean you don't have any inner richness. Deep down, every politician suffers from inferiority complex, he suffers from inner poverty. He suffers from such inner emptiness, meaninglessness, that he...
... more there. You have succeeded: you have the money, you have the power, you have name, you have fame, and the inner emptiness is still there, intact. Nothing has changed there. If you ask me, Jaganath Prasad, then it is time to take the jump. It is enough - ten years you have been thinking. How long one is going to think about it? Either take the jump and become a sannyasin or forget all about it...
... he was making rings of the smoke. I went to my father and I said, "I need some money to purchase cigarettes." He said, "I know children sometimes smoke, but not like you - asking your own father. They hide, they lie - and you are asking me for money!" I said, "Certainly, because I don't want to hide anything, and I don't want to feel guilty. And the desire has arisen; it is...
... better to have a taste. If it is not worthwhile, it is finished forever. And if it is worthwhile, then you have to supply me." He knew me perfectly well.... I said, "You remember, that if you don't give me the money, I will steal, and for that stealing you will be responsible. I could have stolen money, there was no problem. I have not done that. I always go through the proper channels."...
...; He looked at me, and he said, "Okay." He sent a servant to bring a packet of cigarettes, and he said, "You smoke." Certainly the experience was not worthwhile. I started coughing. And it looked silly - taking the smoke in and out when you can have fresh air, dirtying, polluting the air with the smoke. And for that you have to pay money too! I said to my father, "Now, you...
... rest assured; this is my first and last cigarette. But if you had prohibited me, things would have been different. Your prohibition would have given me a challenge; I would have stolen money. You would be responsible for my being a thief. I would be smoking, hiding behind the house. For that kind of secrecy you would have been responsible. "I want to remain an open book. I don't want anything...
... problem. Three hundred years ago, every scientist had his own lab; Edison could work on the electric bulb in his own house. But you cannot make atomic energy in your own house. So much money is needed that no individual can afford it - only governments. Naturally, all the scientists have become slaves of certain political systems. You must have heard about the Russian scientist, Sakharov. He was the...
... being creative. Just look at the stupidity of going to the moon, how much money is wasted. For what? The first man who stood there must have felt silly, because there is nothing - no water, no trees, no life. It is a dead planet. But a political race between the Soviet Union and America.... Both were wasting their energy, their scientists, their money to reach to the moon - nobody bothering to ask...
... his paradise a certainty; all hajjis go to paradise. So even poor Mohammedans.... In my village I have seen such poor Mohammedans collecting money, eating only one time a day so that at least once in their whole life... because it will need their life's savings. And I have seen people selling their houses, their land, borrowing money and remaining always in debt because they could not even pay the...
... interest - there was no question of paying the original money. And they have taken it at such high interest; nobody is going to give it to them at a low interest because everybody knows the money is never coming back. And there is every possibility that this man may die because hajj, in the old days, was almost a suicidal pilgrimage. Now it is a little better, but not much better. So at such a high...
... everything. He created chaos in the great temple of the Jews by throwing the money-changers out of the temple, upturning their tables. This is not the way of a man who says, "god is love," who says, "love your neighbor as yourself," who says, "love your enemy as yourself" but I don't think he loved his enemies as himself And he was not only throwing out these people, who were...
... been able to pay back the original money because the interest was so much; they would have been slaves for their whole lives without being slaves. And this was a great institution. I don't think it was wrong. It was perfectly right that the temple provided the poor people with money at the minimum rate. And the temple had so much money. It was perfectly right, in every way ethical to help the poor...
... people because the money was also coming from the same people. But the way the Christians present it is wrong, it is not right. The institution was perfectly right, and Jesus was just creating a nuisance there. He should have gone to the high priest, argued about it, told him, "This institution of taking interest from the poor is not right," convinced him, "give it to them without...
