HOME about jhom.com webdesign advertise ... contact us Throughout the ages, reports of a birth have often included the hope that the baby had been born be-mazal tov , or be-siman tov , followed by the traditional blessing that the child grow up to a life of Torah, to marry, and perform good deeds. The announcement of a birth in a Jewish family today is greeted customarily by family and friends with the same Hebrew words, expressing hope that the infant was born with good luck under a good sign, siman , or star, mazal . The Talmud uses mazal to mean "star" or "constellation"; this word has come to mean "luck" through the historical popularity of astrology. Talmudic sages discussed the effects of the celestial configuration on the night of birth on a person later in life and expected similarities between two people born under the same star. For example, one sage proposed that a person born on Sunday would be distinguished; on Monday, wrathful; on Tuesday, wealthy and sensual; on Wednesday, intelligent and enlightened; on Thursday, benevolent; on Friday, pious. If born on the Sabbath, he was destined to die on a Sabbath. Astrologers estimated that the influence of the ruling planet at the hour of birth could be decisive in determining character, health, and longevity. For example, someone born under the influence of Venus could become rich and adulterous, whereas someone born under Jupiter was more likely to become a righteous observer of commandments. The manner in which the celestial configuration governed behavior remained controversial among Jews for many centuries, however. Nevertheless, someone born under a favorable constellation was considered lucky, whereas if the ruling planet was likely to have unpleasant influences, a person would have to use intelligence and judgment to overcome expected ill effects.

Hispanic Jew, translator and compiler-author ( also called Iohannes Hyspalensis, Johannes Hispanicus, Johannes Toletanus, Avendeuth, Juan Hispano . With Juan Hispano and their patron, the Archbishop, he is one of the founders of the Toledan School. His activity extends from 1130 to 1180. Unlike his friend, he limits he focusses exclusively on philosophy, translating Greek and Arabic works and the commentaries of the earlier Moslem thinkers in the peninsula. Less faithful to the original texts, he frequently eliminated passages and added his own commentary. Gundisalvo depended on Juan Hispano for the translations from Arabic until late in his career when he controlled Arabic sufficiently to translate for himself (ex. Avicenas Metaphysics Al-sifa ). As an author he, but not his Jewish co-worker, avoided neoplatonism and even attacked it. Gherardus Cremonensis According to his disciples, he came to Toledo en 1167 in search of Ptolemy's

En la Edad Moderna española, desviándonos hacia el campo de la Iatroquínica, se escenifica desde finales del siglo XVI una tensión entre la medicina clásica y ciertas ideas renovadoras. Estas últimas, ejemplarmente expuestas en 1680 por Juan de Cabriada dentro de su "Carta filosófica médico-chymica" tienen como fundamento dos axiomas ya predicados por Paracelso un siglo y medio antes: cuestionar con dureza la autoridad de los clásicos y defender la experiencia como único criterio válido en

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Quadratic formula The quadratic formula explicitly gives the solutions x to the quadratic equation in terms of the coefficients a b and c , which we temporarialy assume to be real (but see below for generalizations) with a being non-zero. These solutions are also called the roots of the equation. The formula reads The term b ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation, because it discriminates between three qualitatively different cases: If the discriminant is zero then there is a repeated solution x , and this solution is real. Geometrically, this means that the parabola described by the quadratic equation touches the x -axis in a single point. If the discriminant is positive, then there are two different solutions x , both of which are real. Geometrically, this means that the parabola intersects the x -axis in two points. Furthermore, if the discriminant is a perfect square, the roots are rational numbers in other cases they may be quadratic irrationals. If the discriminant is negative, then there are two different solutions

56. Rabbi Scheinerman's Home Page - Sermons Shmuel said During prayer, I count the clouds. Rabbi Bun bar hiyya said I Maythe One who blessed our ancestors abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses and Aaron http://www.scheinerman.net/judaism/sermons/pray.html

A Prayer For Those Who Don't Talk In Shul Translated and with a commentary by Rabbi Kenneth L. Cohen "Rabbi Hiyya said 'I have never concentrated on prayer all of my days. Once I tried to concentrate, but all I could think about was politics.' Shmuel said 'During prayer, I count the clouds.' Rabbi Bun Bar Hiyya said 'I count the stones in the wall when I should be praying.' Rabbi Matnaya said, 'I am grateful to my head, because it knows to bow automatically when we reach the modim prayer.'" (Yerushalmi, Berachot 16a) "A person is obligated to pray with proper intention and to recite all the blessings with intention, but there are very few people in this world who do so with all their hearts." (Orchot Tzadikim, Sha'ar Teshuvah, page 509 in the Feldheim edition) I like being Jewish so much that I took the ultimate step and became a rabbi. Little did I realize at the time that this would mean that I would be the only one in shul who wasn't supposed to daven. Sitting on the bimah, I held the ultimate responsibility for the smooth running of the services. This, of course, is also a form of Divine service, but still, it isn't prayer. I would try to steal moments of "kavanah" where I could, but always drawn back to earth by the uncertainty that something might go wrongthat Mr. Goldberg wouldn't get his aliyah, that the Bat Mitzvah might need some encouragement, that somebody would drop the Torah. How could I be so self indulgent as to seek transcendent union with the Infinite Source of All Life when my job was to be a captain of industry?

57. Summary Cubics In The Math History abraham bar hiyya HaNasi, often known by the Latin name Savasorda, is famed forhis book Liber embadorum published in 1145 which is the first book published http://hem.passagen.se/ceem/summary.htm

Summary Cubics in the math history The earliest found information about computing cubic roots and solution of cubic equations is found among the Babylonians (about 2000 - 400 BC). Hindu mathematicians took the Babylonian methods further so that Brahmagupta (598-665 AD) gives an, almost modern, method which admits negative quantities. Numerical values of cubic roots were computed by Aryabhata (476 -c. 550 BC) In about 300 BC Euclid developed a geometrical approach The solution of numerical higher equations for approximate values of roots has been known for a long time in China . It has been called the most characteristic Chinese mathematical contribution. The essentials of the method are there around c. 100 BC - 50 CE. By using the method for finding the cube root of a number they were able to solve a cubic equation of the form x + ax + bx = c , where a, b and c are positive. The Arabs did not know about the advances the Hindus had made so they had neither negative quantities nor abbreviations for their unknowns. However al'Khwarizmi (c 800) gave a classification of different types of equations.

Contact Talmud Translated Page 204 - 208 p. 204 PART THREE THE ORDER OF SABORAIM AND GAONIM In Mitzvoth, 93, our master R. Moses of Coucy wrote that the Saboraim are the Gaonim who lived after the writing of the Talmud. R. Ashi commenced writing [the Talmud]. We therefore find that from the writing of the Mishna until the completion of the Talmud 311 (= ISH - man) years have passed. The Mishna was compiled in AM 3949 and the Talmud was sealed in AM 4260, 432 years after the Destruction. God, may He be blessed and glorified, shall build it for the sake of His name. Amen, may that be His will. It is currently 1000 years since the Talmud was sealed, as it took place 73 years after the death of R. Ashi. However, Yesod Olam claims that the Babylonian Talmud was concluded in the year 4265. There is therefore, a 5-year difference between them. The second generation of the Saboraim and afterwards was that of R. Aha b. Huna who was the head of the academy for one year. He died in 4275. After him, R. Samuel b. Abba was the head of the academy for 3 years and died in the year 4278. Following him Ravina b. Umza was the head of the academy for one year and he died in the year 4279. After him, R. Tachlifa was head of the academy for 7 years and he died in the year 4286. After him were R. Simona and R. Eina. R. Eina was in Sura and R. Simona in Pumbeditha. R. Simona lived until AM 4300. All these [Rabbis] were of one generation.
