I’m an engineer, graduated with a B.E. in Electrical Engineering from the Cooper Union, and working in that field in the Greater NYC area.
My interests are varied and include computers & computer programming, science fiction & real-life space exploration, politics, and religion; see my active accounts on Stack Overflow.

How can we determine when an image is a symbol? @MatthewMiller, I didn’t think you’d meant that; I used that as an example of a clearly invalid reading. |

How can we determine when an image is a symbol? As an aside, rule #3 would tend to exclude most Christological readings of the Hebrew Bible [“Old Testament”]; Rabbi Hirsch would consider this a feature of his system, not a flaw. |

Why did the Samaritans worship God in Mount Gerissim rather than Jerusalem? @Mawia, they claim not to worship any god but God; and there’s no indication that there are any remnants of their old pagan worship still around. Things might have been different 2,000 years ago; you might get some interesting information by asking about the Samaritans on ✡.SE. |

What did Isaiah intend with his unusual usage of “create” in Isaiah 45:7? Zoroaster lived and taught long before Isaiah’s times (ca. 1000 BCE, vs. 700 BCE); the prophet may have been reacting directly to that philosophy. (Source: Rav Schwab on Yeshayahu.) |

How many wives does Deuteronomy allow a king to have? Actually, the fact that David did not marry Avishag is taken in halacha to indicate that he was married to the maximum allowable number of wives. |

Esther 4:14 observation & translation Welcome to BH.SE. I’d suggest you clarify what it is you’re looking for; the StackExchange sites work best for Q&A rather than discussions. Could you perhaps find a specific question which we might answer for you? |
