Brisk is like chemistry (to use the analogy of the marcheshes) - you can explain how the chemicals relate to one another, but not why each one does what it does. For example, after all is said and done, when you line up your issurim in the apprppriate boxes of gavra/cheftza or whatever, can you ever explain why the torah in a particular case formulated the issur on the gavra and in another place formulated it as an issur cheftza? OTOH, R' Shimon in Sharei Yosher always puts forth a grand theory of sevara and then shows how all the relationships go from there. I am sure you can think of a sevara here, but I think it would be hard to find a hechraich that would prove it correct.Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-1147449646381830832006-05-12T12:00:00.000-04:002006-05-12T12:00:00.000-04:00Bekkurim stresses the history of Klal Yisroel thru...Bekkurim stresses the history of Klal Yisroel thru the eyes of the avos i.e. Arami Oveid Avi.

Why by bikkurim do we reference our forefathers, and by ma'asros we include ourselves?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
