For instance, critical thinking is not about finding fault with people who make noise by using leafRead More blowers, but about an in-depth thinking of goals and values we will achieve by limiting their use. People could earn more quality life and peace of mind by having quiet time in the early morning and the late evening. The value of mental peace is regarded crucial in our life. Critical thinking gives us a process of thinking to get into the depth of the problem. It begins with an analysis of the situation (structure, background, or setting), in which the information of when, where, and who is identified. The information may help set up seasonal differences in restricting hours of leaf blower operation. Further thinking will lead critical thinkers to note the implication of the new ordinance to the business of licensed landscapers. Also, critical thinkers may think about the development of a soundproof leaf blowing machine. Critical thinking helps us to increase and share our common values, rather than tries to find faults with people who make problems.

Well, we can never be sure about all the things in the world and maybe that’s the beauty inRead More life too, the surprise, the pains and failures so you could appreciate the happiness and success. Isn’t that what defines life, loving and getting hurt and pulling yourself back? It’s the cycle. The important thing is, learn from experience.

Hello Rabbi Huberman, Usually I give up TMZ for Lent, but then go back to it as it can be amusingRead More at times. I don't even know who they are talking about, for example:. Ashley Tisdale.(?) Anyway, calling somebody a "rising nobody" is funny for a second but basically its just snark, or as you call it "dreque". You inspired me to give it up completely, forever. Thank you. Ann

We should be teaching our daughters to love and respect themselves and pageants do not do that.Read More Feel like a queen? How about a judge or an architect? As the mother of a disabled daughter, I am appalled by this.

That is not true. Pageants open a door for girls/woman to speak out and help out. There are manyRead More different types of pageants to chose from. Not all are about beauty alone. Miss Long Island 1997 Also a Lupus and domestic violence Survivor

Thanks for this article. There was a NYT op-ed on the subject of animal treatment published Monday:Read More http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/09/opinion/open-the-slaughterhouses.html?_r=1&. Could how we treat "food animals," maybe the most rights-deprived sentient members of our society, relate to our sense of compassion, or lack of it, in other arenas?
Rabbi Irwin Huberman April 10, 2013 at 02:34 pm
The simple answer to your question is "the Bible says so." Leviticus 11:21 notes "youRead More may eat all the winged swarmy things that will walk on all fours; all that have above their feet jointed legs to leap with on the ground" This includes bald locust, crickets and all varieties of grasshoppers. As "counter intuitive" as this may appear to us living in the United States, especially during times of famine it was important set boundaries with regard to what people could consume. After all, Kosher actually means "fit" to eat. Although the Bible is vague on why it distinguishes between different types of insects, I am guessing that the law seeks to divide insects which spend all their time walking in the earth and dust, and those who were able to jump or fly. It is interesting to note that last month, just prior to Passover, a rare infestation of locust occurred in the Middle East. The attached link documents the "invasion" and notes that this set off a fad of locust eating in various many countries. http://news.yahoo.com/bible-comes-life-locusts-swarm-israel-190310435.html Consuming locust may seem odd to us, but based on some of the fast foods or other items which we consume on the fly in North America, who are we to judge? Thank you for the question.

Interesting article. It reinforces the point of the blog which stresses the importance of ensuringRead More that animal rights, labor laws and environmental respected when we slaughter and prepare our food. It's also interesting to note that the Noahide law of respecting animal rights appears in the Torah many generations before the laws of Kashrut.
