More on Xanathan Gum for Pesach

ReplyDeleteThey were attempting to bring the sheep into the Jewish quarter not har habayis as that’s only on erev Pesach in accordance with the opinion of Rav Akiva Eiger and the Chasam Sofer that the korban Pesach should be sacrificed even without a beis hamikdash.
ReplyDeleteWill you stop trying to come across so simple minded. This idea of bringing a sheep is not halactic but rather political Your politics can be anywhere along the spectrum as far as I'm concerned but at least declare yourself for what you are. The reason nobody contemplates the halachicangle is because we all know it riles up the Arabs. And when they go out and attack you people just claim oh that's who they are they would do it anyhow.
