    Dogs and Lions

    Noteworthy to mention, Rabbi Salanters insight about leaders of the generation before moshiach comes mentioned in Sota, the Talmud in yoma 21b mentions that the smoke of the wood arrangement in the second Temple had the shape of a dog, first temple was that of a lion. First temple was a Lion because it was built by king Solomon, but second Temple was built by Persian empire who's likened to a dog. Also first temple divine presence resided likeness of a lion on the divine celestial chariot, second Temple, impurity crept in, likened to a dog.

    In reference to our conversation about leadership, lions attack more than roar, dogs bark more than they attack. One (lion) embodies behavioral confidence, the other (dog) embodies communicative confidence.

    I would take behavior over communication any time of day.

    Especially in this week's Parsha, the spies wanted to keep the Torah and mitzvot relegated to the realm of thought and speech, they didn't want it to evolve into the realm of action.

    What this can mean to us today, don't be happy with communication alone, when there's a need and possibility for behavior.

    Behavioral changes over just communicative changes.

    Thank you Rabbi!

    one can interrupt giving a shiur to ensure

    that a child has a ride to school. Some end such a call with "goodbye" and some end with "I love you".

    which is higher?

    one would think that "I love you" is higher.

    but....the root of "goodbye" is "G-d be with ye". Perhaps that higher.

    we don't stand up for the fetus in the womb

    because he's learning only for himself.

    really? what if it's twins? and with whom is that fetus learning, his chavrusa, so he's not learning only for himself. 

    and, maybe the Talmud chocham one should stand for is also learning for himself?

    "silence is golden"; "speak little and

    do much". yes, that's true UNLESS by circumstances one has the duty to speak up. like every parent, teacher, etc.

    What is a practical way to work on one's penimius when there is such a strong drive for chitzonius and looking for validation- this concept is so important so how do we bring it home?

    Yes, respect your body at least as much

    as you respect the garbage can.

    so better to not overeat than to toss food?

    but.. .there's the mitzvah of "baal tashlich", i.e. not to waste.

    Europeans and their children are loathe to those food for the inter-generational memory of starvation, deprivation, etc.  Americans and their offspring don't have this genetic core

    cows are factories to make meat and milk

    and also calves. Are people factories also? we take in nourishment and create babies, things, ideas, etc. 

    all of creation are factories that take in nourishment and have output of different types.

    deep inside we are really happy.

    It just must be revealed.  Question" are animals essentially happy? is vegetation happy? inanimate? are angels essentially happy? Finally, is Hashem essentially happy? Note that He was lacking and therefore created the world.
