- Please David, read before you write!
- All I did was tell a joke, that may perhaps have gone sour.
- I provided conclusive(?) evidence that Moses was a Galtzianer :-)
- and thus presumably a Hassid rather than a Misnaged :-)
- but left the question of what language God used in speaking to Moses
- for the original disputants on this thread to establish. :-)
-
- As far as I know, "vayomer" means "said" or "spoke". I will leave it
- to wiser heads than mine to determine whether by speech, by telepathy,
- on the net, or whatever, and in what language.
- If on the net, it was probably English :-)
