Nilly! Happy New Year, Nilliest of Nillys! Thank you for being you, with style and grace,
NILLY! Consuela! eta: KARL!
Happy New year!
yeah I think. It feels like a big ole lie now since it has been over two years since I belt tested. a year and a half since I've been in a class.
hot. dork. gotcha.
I think the teensy tiny boy crazy part of my brain is over active at the moment what with the dreams and my looking for pics. insaneo.
Nilly! So good to see you!
It's good to see you because I like you, of course, but I have a Judaism question.
When did men stop having multiple wives? Was it during an exile?
Suela! Karl!
So far, 2006 is better than 2005. Last night, I watched "Serenity", and today friends and family are coming to light the last Hanukkah candle, and I have a working kitchen to supply them with food.
You know how I'm confused with timezones? How strange is it that you're in a different year than mine?
Happy New Year!
When did men stop having multiple wives? Was it during an exile?
It was around the 10-12th century, I think. The religious leader of the Ashkenazi Jews at the time, Rabeynu (=our rabbi) Gershom, who published in his life several "halakhot" that are still known by his name (like the rule for privacy - you can't open somebody else's mail), also ordered that no man would marry more than one woman.
From Ashkenaz it spread to most of the Sepharadi countries, as well, in time. But not all - until practically today, when it's illegal in the state of Israel, there are a few people (say, from Yamen) who still see no problem in marryingmore than one woman.
Nilly, I knew you would know. ::smooch:: thank you.
hiya Nilly.
ita, insent.
