I assumed you were asking on a religious level. It is a concept like my things in ones own religion we don't fully understand.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I was, threw a joke in there too.

I get that, in Judaism we know we can never truly understand ein sof (how infinite Hashem is) for example.

First name, middle name, daughter of, MOTHER's first name (No last name published).
Which is the traditional way to mention a person for prayers (while they are alive - using mother's name, if deceased in Ashkenazic tradition father's name is used, in Sephardic tradition mother's name is used IINM).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

It's sloppy and it makes me cringe. Don't say farby, CM. It's farbrengen. Farby makes it sound like a frat party.

Yes, thus usually used by Sephardi Jews.
