The Nautical Minds of the Talmud

New Page 1

Rabbis of the Talmud kept personal notebooks, for example Zeiri and Levi's notebook found on Shabbat 156a". Personal compilations of learning and ideas are kept by Rabbi and Yeshiva students to this day.. This blog is such a "Pinchas" - a modest personal collection of ideas from across the sea of Shas and Tanach.

However modest, subjective, error ridden and personally indulgent, this effort is dedicated to my boys - Yonatan Simcha and Dov Alexander and daugher Elana Rachel. All are experienced sailors and dedicated to Torah Study. The three of us have sailed the sea of Torah together as well as the Great Canadian Lakes in my sailboat -"The Boat".

There is a Jewish nautical mind! Israel after all is a country by the sea. There are well know ancient seaports at its shore. Less well know is the vast store house of laws, philosophy, anecdotes and experience about ships, the sea and the Jewish experience of nautical enterprise that is contained in the Talmud. This Blog will present that view of the Talmud. This is a project of What If What Next(TM) a Public Relations firm located in Toronto, Canada.
