He will be taking questions live, and you will be able to simulcast this interview on your blog, and ask him questions.<br /><br />If you are skeptical it is understandable, but unquestionable evidence has been gathered since his introduction in the U.S, and you can read some of it, and see the amazing video proof here: http://www.LordRayEl.org.<br /><br />To better your chances of having your questions answered, we ask that you submit them in writing no later than April 9th, and we will reply with instructions on how your blog needs to connect to the event.<br /><br />You may begin promoting this event to your followers now.<br /><br />You have received this invitation from one of our clergy, but to send your questions and confirm your participation, send email to: media-inquiries@ra-el.org with "Blog Interview" in the subject line.Cardinal Mixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625719177855591654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556022894010597695.post-7909905260174652682011-12-02T11:30:23.013-05:002011-12-02T11:30:23.013-05:00I am soliciting help for finding and getting an En...I am soliciting help for finding and getting an English translation for Rabbi Natan's AVOT (VERSION B ONLY).

As nearly as I can understand the B&R footnote, it seems R' Zeira thought that people were reporting and relying on oral traditions without giving appropriate consideration to the reliability of the individuals from whom they heard those traditions. R' Zeira thought (again, IIUC) that one needed to be able to see someone (to watch his body language, to read his facial expressions) in order to fully assess his reliability, and thus he was not confident of Rav Sheshet in this regard. We might make different judgments about what senses are needed in order to assess character, but I don't think R' Zeira was depreciating Rav Sheshet's humanity or treating him with less than appropriate respect.Richard Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870620899916616752noreply@blogger.com
