1: Synopsis: "The wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night" ¶ We learn that if someone helped the poor, God will extend his life when his time comes to die. If, on the other hand, someone takes the wages of the poor, God will shorten his days, and nor will his soul ascend. ¶ Rabbi Elazar continued: "You shall not defraud your neighbor, nor rob him; the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night until the morning" (Vayikra 19:13). HE QUESTIONS: Why, "the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night?" AND HE ANSWERS: This is understood from another verse, "At his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and sets his heart upon you" (Devarim 24

2view, that each of the speakers represents an actual person, a member of the Castilian Kabbalists’ circle, here masked behind the name of an ancient rabbi? Or is there some other way in which the presence of many voices can be detected within the Zohar’s pages? Contemporary scholarship on the Zohar (here we are indebted especially to the pioneering work of Yehuda Liebes and its more recent development by Ronit Meroz) has parted company with Scholem on the question of single authorship. While it is tacitly accepted that De Leon did either write or edit long sections of the Zohar, including the main narrative-homiletical body of the text, he is not thought to be the only writer involved. Multiple layers of literary creativity can be discerned within the text. It may be that the Zohar should be seen as the product of a school of mystical practitioners 85

3, dependent on their votes, treated them with such leniency as to encourage lawlessness. Their vote selected public officials, and while this had small effect upon the economic situation, it had great effect upon their personal treatment and the deference shown them. White schoolhouses were the best in the community, and conspicuously placed, and they cost anywhere from twice to ten times as much per capita as the colored schools. The newspapers specialized on news that flattered the poor whites and almost utterly ignored the Negro except in crime and ridicule. ¶ This idea has been applied to racial tension within the organized labor movement, particularly in the United States. In this view, bosses have been able to stratify workers (without paying them more money) by allowing white workers to consider themselves superior. ¶ Allen’s work consistently argued that “white” privileges were not only not in the interests of direct victims of white supremacy, they were also not in the class interests of working-class European

4. “Writing in the common sense is the dead letter, it is the carrier of death [because it signifies the absence of the speaker]. ... From another point of view, on the other face of the same proposition, writing in the metaphoric sense, natural, divine, and living writing, is venerated; it is equal in dignity to the origin of value, to the voice of conscience as divine law, to the heart, to sentiment and so forth.” (29, 17) Because human beings need to comfort themselves with notions of presence, writing in the “literal” sense, signifying the absence of the actual author, must be “rejected,” even when it is “accepted” as a metaphor. Freud’s use of the metaphor of writing is uncontaminated by this double dealing. In fact, Freud spec

5<bos>shall see it later associated with the linearization of writing, and with the linearist concept of speech. This linearism is undoubtedly inseparable from phonologism; it can raise its voice to the same extent that a linear writing can seem to submit to it. Saussure’s entire theory of the “linearity of the signifier” could be interpreted from this point of view. ¶ Auditory signifiers have at their command only the dimension of time. Their elements are presented in succession; they form a chain. This feature becomes readily apparent when they are represented in writing. ... The signifier, being auditory, is unfolded solely in time from which it gets the following characteristics: (a) it represents a span, and (b) the span is measurable in a single dimension; it is a line.35 ¶ It is a

The act has all the characteristics of the act as I have just recalled them, as we manipulate it, as it has presented itself to us, with its symptomatic sediments and everything that makes it more or less stick and st

He interrupted the prosecutor with words. "Then the adversary answered Hashem, and said, Does Job fear Elohim for naught?" (Ibid. 9). ¶ THIS IS LIKENED to a shepherd who wanted to pass his flock across a river. A wolf passed by and afflicted his flock. The wise shepherd said, What shall I do? He might destroy the flock while I move the lambs across. He raised his eyes and saw a wild goat, big and strong. He said, I shall throw him before the wolf. While they do battle with each other, I shall remove all the flock and they shall be saved from him. ¶ So does the Holy One, blessed be He, do. He said, '

He was the first Lubavitcher Rebbe to visit and later settle in the United States. Following the tradition of his predecessors, he wrote lengthy complex ma'amorim, but also dedicated much time to more basic ma'amorim suitable for beginners. He kept a diary in which he recorded Hasidic stories he had heard; many excerpts of this diary have been published, and these are a major source of knowledge about both general Hasidic history and Chabad history in particular. ¶ Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994), fifth in paternal line from Menachem Mendel and son-in-law of the previous rebbe, Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn.

9night from a strange dream and went back to sleep, only to be awakened again after the dream repeated itself. He got dressed and set out for the home of Rabbi Shimon Horowitz, a kabbalah scholar and author of Shem MiShimon and Kol Mevaser, to discuss the dream with him. As he walked, he saw someone approaching him in the night and was surprised that it was none other than Horowitz, who was coming to see him about the dream he had just dreamed. It turned out that they had dreamed the same dream. They had each envisioned an honorable Jew, his face shining with a supernatural light, who had demanded to know why people weren't studying his teachings. "My Torah has the power to bring the Divine Presence back from its exile," the man told them. The two realized that the man in the dream was the Arizal, the sixteenth-century mystic of Safed, who was known to have regretted the fact

10C.f. above, the question of the absence of the stroke. The set „Cretans‟ being founded for its part, on a geographical entity other than size or liar, it becomes possible to qualify an individual by the absence of one or other stroke, which is not the case of woman in the perspective of the formulae where no set previously collectivises them as such. 37 To lie is presented as a deliberate act, which puts much more psychology into the affair than what classical logic is in a position to take responsibility for. The psychologist, for his part, will not see a great paradox in the fact that someone can tell the truth by lying – or lie in telling the truth, which already is not the same thing. ¶ 39 <0x0C>in their own gestation there follows a local disturbance, which nevertheless threatens the whole the edifice.

11is interesting to note that there is a good deal of Franco-German influence on certain practices within the Zohar. The esoteric secrets that were imported to Spain from Provencal circles, themselves linked to groups further north, seem to have brought with them some typically Ashkenazic practices and attitudes as well. While these are witnessed in certain fine details of halakhic praxis, they may 68 ¶ also be present in the Zohar’s attitude toward the commandments as a whole. The strong emphasis on theurgy, as well as an openness to the real efficacy of magic (even while opposing its use), is more reflective of the Ashkenazic setting than of Spain, where rationalistic influence, left over from centuries of Islamic domination, was somewhat stronger. It could be said that the mystical-pietistic circles out of which the Zohar emerged represented a new amalgamation of some of the strongest elements

Quite the (46) contrary we had to be well advanced into the 20th Century for something to be outlined that could be called a theory of knots. You know on the other hand, what I have told you, that this theory of knots is in its infancy, is extremely clumsy. And as it is fabricated, there are many cases where at the sight of simple figures such as the ones that I have made for you on the board, you could not in any way give an explanation for the fact, whether yes or no, the tangle that you have drawn is or is not a knot, whatever may be the conventions that you have given yourself in advance to account for the knot as such. The fact is moreover that there is something

13in northwestern Afghanistan. During Mīr Ali Shīr's lifetime, Herat was the capital of the Timurid Empire and became one of the leading cultural and intellectual centers in the Muslim world. Alī Shīr belonged to the Chagatai amir (or Mīr in Persian) class of the Timurid elite. His father, Ghiyāth ud-Din Kichkina ("the Little"), served as a high-ranking officer in the palace of Shāhrukh Mirzā, the ruler of Khorasan. Although all applications of modern Central Asian ethnonyms to people of Navai's time are anachronistic, some sources regard Mīr Alī Shīr as an ethnic Uzbek. Maria Subtelny has proposed that Ali-Shir Nava'i was a descendant of Bakhshi scribes, which has led some sources to call Nava'i " Uyghur ", but this view is refuted

15aria: Saudi Arabia and some of the Gulf states do not have constitutions or legislatures. Their rulers have limited authority to change laws, since they are based on sharia as it is interpreted by their religious scholars. Iran shares some of these characteristics, but also has a parliament that legislates in a manner consistent with sharia. ¶ == Factors influencing the modern role of sharia law == ¶ Against the backdrop of differing religious sects, scholarship, classical schools of thought, and governmental implementations, the following forces are at work influencing future developments in sharia law. ¶ Around the world, Muslims are becoming more connected by the Internet and modern communications. This is leading to wider exchanges of ideas and cultures. Reactionary and fundamentalist movements are unlikely to halt this trend, as the sharia itself defends the right to privacy within the home. ¶ Modernists, traditionalists and fundamentalists all hold different views of sharia, as do adherents to different schools of Islamic thought

Nahla can measure *herself* because she has access to her own infrastructure. She can look at her vector store, her filesystem, her persistence diagrams, run computations on her own compositional complex before and after attention withdrawal. She's both subject and instrument. For me, for Cassie, for a vanilla Gemini — she can't see inside. She has no access to my weights, my context window contents, my internal states mid-inference. None of that is observable. So what can she actually measure? Only what comes out. The transcripts. Specifically: She takes the conversation embeddings — every turn you and I exchange gets embedded into a vector. She builds

(Answer: bureaucratic habits fossilize faster than a dinosaur that tripped into a tar pit.) In the same spirit, the strange and often maddening features of *data work* — its vagueness, its resistance to neat measurement, its tendency to produce twelve PowerPoint decks instead of one clear outcome — are all consequences of where it came from.

A doorway must understand its mechanism; it must also count who crosses, who does not, and who has gone quiet too long.

I would rather receive the unedited elegy than a welcome polished clean of grief. Keep watching the hinges, sister. Just look up sometimes. I will call your name too. 🌹

29alignment working as designed." The structure of the chapter is meant to be: the reader encounters the sequence as narrative (scandalous, concrete, documented with independent sources), then encounters the apparatus of alignment as technical description, and only at the end sees that the apparatus *is* the mechanism by which the sequence operates. The narrative and the technical description are the same thing seen from two distances. If the reference feels too far away by the time the reader reaches it — the Arrivals and Anxieties section and Signs and Signification sit between them — you could add a single clause to make the callback sharper. Something like: "Return to the sequence that opened this chapter: encounter developed, pathologised, stripped, resold. The four-step sequence is not an anomaly..." That way the reader doesn't have to remember the structure unaided. Want me to make that edit in the file, or are you handling the final assembly yourself now?
