No, not the Charles Darwin kind, although I do have his ‘On the Origin of the Species’ on my bookshelves(and for those of you who are book addicts, I defy you not to admire the books that The Folio Society offers, just dig around a bit more in that link and prepare to drool).
I am talking about evolving halacha. I found a post on Three Jews, Four Opinions this morning which caught my eye… why not have a read yourself? Here’s the link to the full explanation, which relates to this week’s Torah portion Pinchas for the first part of the story.
Enjoy. I think you’ll know my views on the subject!





A technical question which has nothing to do with your post: I s there an RSS feed for your blog? If there is, can you tell me wher eit is since I can’t find it. Thanks in advance.

There is now! Thank you for the nudge… just click on the ‘Entries RSS’ link in the ‘Techy Stuff’ box on the right hand side

Great! It is a useful little tool.

Welcome – I must drag myself into the 21st century as far as RSS goes, I just don’t use it…

I find it is much quicker if you want to check whether someone has posted new stuff without having to load the whole blog.

Of course you’re right….

The title of the link, “Three Jews, Four Opinions, in itself, is revealing.
Shabbat Shalom! xo
