Mar 16, 2018 at 17:14 comment added Double AA @Yez מרע״ה stands for משה רבינו עבד השם. The Hebrew עלי[הם] השלום is just a translation of a common Muslim phrase which some Jews in Muslim lands started using. It's not a Jewish thing.
Jul 28, 2016 at 9:35 comment added mevaqesh Interesting ideas. Do you have any source for them?
Feb 15, 2016 at 23:38 comment added sabbahillel @Yez The comment that I referred to uses the English term that Muslims normally use. While it might be a translation of עליהם השלום, it still grates because of the normal way it is used. Had the Hebrew been used, it would not have caused me to comment.
Feb 15, 2016 at 22:02 comment added Y     e     z @sabbahillel why is עליהם השלום not a proper reference? Moshe is quite often referenced as מרע"ה which stands for משה רבינו עליו השלום, and similarly Avraham as אאע"ה.
Feb 14, 2016 at 15:53 comment added sabbahillel @jvjurad btw, The term you use is not correct. The correct term used by Jews for a deceased tzadik is "Zecher Tzadik Livracha" (Z'tzl) - The memory of a tzdik is a blessing.
Feb 14, 2016 at 15:50 comment added sabbahillel @jvjurad There is a dispute as to exact status of the Patriarchs and the Bnai Yisrael before Sinai. However, at the revelation on Har Sinai, the status (and rules) changed to what we have now (a nation rather than a family). Thus, the definition starts at the Revelation of Sinai and was part of that revelation.

Feb 14, 2016 at 14:25 comment added truthcures According to the given definition, Moses before Sinai was not Jew at all, neither Jacob, Isaac and Abraham, peace be upon them all, right? And was that definition placed among the mentioned laws or it's more recent development?
