My Name is Ephraim

profile for Ephraim on Stack Exchange, a network of free, community-driven Q&A sites

I am the founder and CEO of Nebula Programming, LLC

I am a java programmer and Drupal web-developer.

I started the Security proposal in Area-51, you should follow it!!!

My passion is in.... well, it changes about every 4 months, but it always involves programming. (Right now it's encryption).

I usually learn by picking up a book, reading it cover to cover, and then buying another book on the same subject which I never end up reading.

I own my own Dev-Server, Developed and published several websites including my most recent, masadatactical.com, and worked on several, one of which, was MTH Trains.

I have also started working on crackmycode.com, since apparently Stackexchange isn't interested

I have published 2 apps to the android market, which can be found here.

When I'm not programming, I'm teaching and training in Israeli Combat System at Masada Tactical. We're famous by the way!

In general, I'm a pretty awesome person (not Chuck Norris awesome, but sometimes I come pretty close)

If you want to contact me, my email is ephraim@nebulaprodev.com, unless you want to send me spam, in which case contact me at spam@nebulaprodev.com

I'm not sure if this is a question for here, or Skeptics. While it is a question do with Judaism, it is a question that is asking to prove, or disspove a claim, which is Skeptics' scope

Except that the reason that it is so strange that the Avos kept the torah before it was given, was, well, because it wasn't given yet, and no one else knew about it yet. But in the case of the Jewish people, if channuka was given at har-seni, than while the event of channuka it's self may not have happened yet, the Jewish people would have known about the mitzva and been able to keep it. However it was never said that the Jewish people at the time did keep it, until the event of Channuka actually happened, which is why there is no mishna on Channuka.

While the fact that everything was given to moshe at har-seni is a well known concept, I have a problem with it's premise, because if it were the case, shouldn't the jewish people have celebrated purim and channuka in their time? (even though it hadn't happen yet, the concept of people celebrating things before they happen isn't new. I believe there was a midrash that said that Yaakov celebrated pesach)

Similarly to the bracha, saying that G-d himself commanded me to light the channuka candles is a false statement. He simply told me to listen to someone who did. And I am quoting G-d with something he never said. And while it may not in practice be as horrible as what is said in the gemara, I would imagine it is still not a good thing to do.

Let me give an analogy to programming. Let's say I take a programming class with teacher-X. Teacher-X learned directly from Mark Zuckerberg. On the first day of class, Mark Zuckerberg comes in, and tells us that He tought Teacher-X himself, and he really knows what he is talking about, so we should listen to everything he says. Teacher-X teaches me to program using a specific style. My friend sees how I am coding and asks why I am doing it that way. I tell him, Mark Zuckerberg taught me to do it. That however is a false statement, I learned it from Teacher-X, Zuckerberg just told me to listen.
