>youre outmatched
You pathetic imbecile. Im trying to direct you on what to dig, and you think im "trying to outmatch" you?
I guess the truth is, like i said on the previous bread, you and maxine share a similar brain capacity and you are not capable of lowering you ego and actually learning something new.
Lets check your "source" shall we: "talmud rosh hashana 31b":
Here is the excerpt:
https://juchre.org/talmud/rosh/rosh2.htm
>‘R. Nahman b. Isaac said it was the tongue of scarlet’, as it has been taught: ‘Originally they used to fasten the thread of scarlet on the door of the [Temple] court on the outside.28 If it turned white the people used to rejoice,29 and if it did not turn white they were sad. They therefore made a rule that it should be fastened to the door of the court on the inside. People, however, still peeped in and saw, and if it turned white they rejoiced and if it did not turn white they were sad. They therefore made a rule that half of it should be fastened to the rock and half between the horns of the goat that was sent [to the wilderness]’. Why did not R. Nahman b. Isaac accept the view of R. Papa? — He could reply: If you assume that it was R. Johanan b. Zaccai [who made the rule about the vine], was he the colleague of R. Eliezer? He was his teacher! [What replies] the other [to this]? — Since they were his disciples [who reported the rule to him], it was not polite of them to say to their teacher, ‘your teacher’. Why did not R. Papa accept the view of R. Nahman b. Isaac? — He could reply: If you assume It was R. Johanan b. Zaccai [who made the rule], was there in the days of R. Johanan b. Zaccai a thread of scarlet [which turned white]? Has it not been taught: ‘R. Johanan b. Zaccai lived altogether a hundred and twenty years. For forty years he was in business, forty years he studied, and forty years he taught’, and it has further been taught: ‘For forty years before the destruction of the Temple the thread of scarlet never turned white but it remained red’.30 Further, the statement of the Mishnah is, ‘After the destruction of the Temple R. Johanan b. Zaccai made a rule’.31 [What says] the other [to this]? — During those forty years that he studied32 his status was that of a disciple sitting before his teacher, and he would offer a suggestion and make good his reasons
So what do we see: it deals with fucking new year and holliday religious technicalities, which is predictable given that rosh hashana is the jewish new year.
And the punch line - the story says that there was a tradition when they used to put a scarlett thread from inside of the buliding to the outside. If the thread turned white on the outside (snow) then traditionally people saw it as a good sign amd rejoiced, whereas if it remained scarlett then the people took it as a bad sign! And in the 40 years before the destruction of the temple, the story says that the thread never turned white, meaning that "god didnt give a reason for the people to be happy bacause it was destined that the temple will be destroyed.".
You still want to talk about "outmatching"?
If you fail to realize that the reformists, who are the largest jewish subgrouop, view the talmud as outdated and much of it - regressive, then you have a lot to learn. Your ego on the other hand prevents you from doing so.
