Lets analyze this:
 1) In hebrew, "Dayan Hoemes" -emes is referring to the "Dayan" not the Din. Therefore, the simple meaning is, blessed is the true judge, meaning only He is the true judge of the world. Ie he is the "real" judge, all others are merely fulfilling his judgement, like puppets in the hands of the marionette.

2) "He Judges the truth", you would need to add wording to explain this.-You cant judge the "truth". You can have true justice. Judging "Truthfully" is meaningless.

I think il go with 1.
+1

Abomination

Oilum/Oilem = Crowd

I don't think the Oilum here is capable of separating the two.

By the way, I recently saw this book and I would highly recommend it to any of our Yiddish/Hebrew (a.k.a. Yeshivish) challenged friends.

BTW. For all the funniness of the book itself, it has an excellent introduction.

And eating shellfish.

And no, I was not the one selling my olam habah. In fact according to some I don't have any left to sell...

Thanks for your Olam Haboah.  :)

  • 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.
