Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Colorado Springs police say there are no charges against a substitute teacher accused of injuring a student. Their investigation is complete and the department is turning over their report to the district attorney's office.
A 12-year-old boy said the substitute at Galileo School in District 11 hit him. The boy went to the hospital Thursday afternoon. His family says he had badly bruised ribs.
The alleged incident happened at Galileo School in District 11 Thursday afternoon. The boy's father, Anthony Vargas, told 11 News he was having a hard time concentrating on work after his son told him he was injured at school.
"I was upset, I was mad, it's not right," said Vargas.
He said he was shocked to hear that his son was reportedly hurt while at Galileo. The boy says a substitute teacher forced him out of his chair.
"He grabbed him from behind and my son said he had his arms up on the desk, so he grabbed him underneath his arms by his ribcage, and bear-hugged him, is what my son basically described it as," said Vargas.
We spoke with Lori Estrada, the boy's aunt. She says another teacher witnessed the altercation. She says the teacher reportedly threw her nephew to the ground and then punched him.
"I'm very upset, very sad that this occurred and really sad that none of the parents were notified. I think this is a big deal and that parents should be aware of what's going on in the district," she said.
The seventh grader says he doesn't know why the teacher came at him.
Devra Ashby, a spokesperson with District 11, says the substitute teacher is still on unpaid administrative leave while the district investigates.
"Any time any type of allegation is made where a student is impacted, we take these allegations very seriously. We consider our students' safety our very top priority," Ashby said.

Am I interpreting this verse correctly?

how does that fit ?

Hi RT,
So then you do not see these as the same event?
"the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him,
Love in Christ,
Matthew 24:30
30 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
Matthew 25:31-34
31 "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.
32 "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.
34 "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Matthew 25:41
41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
Matthew 19:28
28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
1 Corinthians 6:2
2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
Ezekiel 44:23-24
23 "Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 "In a dispute they shall take their stand to judge; they shall judge it according to My ordinances. They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts and sanctify My sabbaths.
Isaiah 1:26
26 "Then I will restore your judges as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning;
After that you will be called the city of righteousness,
A faithful city."
Isaiah 2:4 (Micah 4:2,3)
4 And He will judge between the nations,
And will render decisions for many peoples;
And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.
Mark, Jesus has 2 thrones, the throne of the Father in heaven and the throne of His father David on earth. Can He only be seen coming in glory to one throne? Is Jesus confined to the earth? How would His return to heaven be viewed? Am i asking too many questions?
2 Peter 3:10-14
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
mark s wrote:Hi M.C.,
The Chosen . . . The Nations . . .
The Jews . . . The Gentiles . . .
I think the sheep / goats is the same as Joel 3.
Love in Christ,
So, the parable is speaking of the "white throne" judgment?
or is it speaking of the end of the 70th week?
thanks, love in Christ
1whowaits wrote:Mark, actually Matt 25 does not state where Jesus is coming in His glory to, there is no statement that He is coming to earth.
mark s wrote:They will see Him coming in power and great glory . . . and when He comes in glory . . .
So Jesus does have 2 thrones that He sits on, the throne of the Father in heaven and the throne of David on earth. Which throne is being referred to in Matt 25? Which throne is the glorious throne?
Therefore, to answer 1whowaits's point about where Jesus is coming in His glory to, perhaps Zechariah chapters 12-14 provides some insight.
Ezekiel 43:1-7
1 Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing toward the east;
2 and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.
3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.
5 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.
6 Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a man was standing beside me.
7 He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the corpses of their kings when they die,
Ezekiel 1:26-28
26 Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man.
27 Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him.
28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.
Ezekiel 10:15-22
15 Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar.
16 Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.
17 When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
19 When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord's house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.
20 These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings was the form of human hands.
22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went straight ahead.
Matthew 24:30
30 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
Matthew 25:31
31 "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.

Mark's answer to my question (about who the chosen were) cemented something in my mind...
Personally, I tend to see the church (body of Christ) hidden from prophecies given prior to its birth on the day of Pentecost, as the prophecies would be from the perspective of Israel. This can be seen in the disciples' question to the Lord Jesus as late as Acts 1 v 6. The Lord Jesus' response to two of their earlier questions in Matthew 24 v 3also have to be viewed from the perspective of Israel, I believe.
- What will be the sign of your coming
- What will be the end of the age
Therefore, to answer 1whowaits's point about where Jesus is coming in His glory to, perhaps Zechariah chapters 12-14 provides some insight.
1whowaits wrote:Jesus mentions turning from the 'faith', the faith not being Judaism but Christianity.
Jesus refers to the 'gospel of the kingdom' being preached in the whole world, the gospel not being a reference to Judaism but Christianity. Jesus refers to false Christ's coming in His name and causing deception, false Christ's coming in the name of Jesus would not deceive Israel but those who believed in Jesus, aka christians.
1whowaits wrote:Mark, i would disagree with your interpretation of the 'gospel of the kingdom'.
Stated in Matt 24 the 'gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.' The gospel of the kingdom that will be preached to the whole world is not Judaism, nor is it about the kingdom being restored to Israel, it is about faith in Christ and Jesus setting up His kingdom, it is the basics of Christianity and not Judaism. And at the end is the Christians who preach the gospel to the world, not Israel, Israel is protected in the wilderness, she is not carrying the gospel at the time of the end.
Jesus further refers to those standing firm until the end being saved, which is used in reference to Christians in Rev.
Jesus refers to love growing cold, more a reference to Christianity than Judaism.
Jesus refers to the end, it is the christians that are encouraged to endure until the end in Rev,
the people of Israel are protected in the wilderness, they are not pictured as enduring and they do not accept Christ until the very end when He returns.
Jesus also states that 'you will be hated by all nations because of me.' Israel is not hated by all nations because of Jesus, but Christians are, Jesus is referring directly to Christians and not the nation of Israel.
The statements by Jesus really fit Christianity in Matt 24, not Judaism.
(9) "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
(10) And then many will stumble and betray one another and hate one another.
(11) And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.
(20) Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
Which then would confirm that the elect that are gathered when Jesus returns are Christians, both Jew and Gentile. And when Jesus sets foot on the earth in Zech 14, the nation of Israel has not been gathered, they are being attacked and taken into captivity, they are not gathered to Jesus, Jesus comes to them.
Matthew 24:31
And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Eze 11:16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

Eze 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

Eze 20:34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
Eze 20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
Eze 20:36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
Eze 20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Eze 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
Eze 20:40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
Eze 20:41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
Eze 20:42 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
Eze 20:43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
Eze 20:44 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
Eze 34:12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Eze 34:13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
Eze 34:14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Eze 34:15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 34:16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
Eze 34:17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
Eze 34:18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Eze 34:19 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Eze 34:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
Eze 34:21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
Eze 34:22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Eze 34:23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Eze 34:24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Eze 36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Eze 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

Eze 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

Eze 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Joe 2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
Joe 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Joe 2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Joe 2:18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Joe 2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
Joe 2:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
Joe 2:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
Mic 2:12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
Mic 2:13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
Mic 2:12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
Mic 2:13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
Zec 10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
Zec 10:7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
Zec 10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
Zec 10:9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
Zec 10:10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
Zec 10:11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
Zec 10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD

After the elects are gathered, when does the "taken up to meet Jesus in the air" take place ?
WOODHENOT3 wrote:OK Mark,
so you're saying that the "catching up" of the Christians is before the gatherings and after the signs(moon,stars and sun)?
Perhaps, between the 6th and 7th seal?

So in other words you are saying 'no big deal' as far as evernote is concern? But the question is will evernote do those things more conveniently than other tools? If you are an IT manager, would you official adopt evernote for use in your enterprise?
I think of it as Pinterest, for reals. There are many tools like it, I guess, but it's caught on. It doesn't rock my world, either.
The thing is, I used to use Evernote, I stopped, and I don't miss it. It does nothing which I can't do more conveniently with other tools.
Another point with Evernote, right now, is that there is an awful lot of coincidental information coming out. There are a few books on the market, just released, that are the equivalent to Evernote for Dummies. Even your post, Maria, makes me think that Evernote is invading our subconscious minds, leaving you to think, "What a great post idea--Evernote!"
I'm impressed with their marketing ground game, if indeed that is what is happening. Evernote is definitely raising end-user awareness right now.
But it also does lead to phase two of the BYOD concept--I guess, BYOA, for applications. IT groups will have to deal with devices, but more attention has been put on the device rather that software that's built in and interacting with enterprise-official applications.
I'm not sure that all of this is actually a problem--although it adds to the possible security vulnerabilities.
This is one of the problems with cloud services - the vendor is capable of making wholesale changes at any given time. We've seen that recently with Google Apps - they are combining their Postini anti-spam product right into Google Apps. That means customers who use Postini but rely on some mail system other than Google Apps need to find another solution unless they want to access it from the Google Apps dashboard - that really makes no sense.
I realize that you are referring to APIs here, which also impacts users. But this is another example.
And there's also another thing to be wary of -- the company providing the API might decide to discontinue it at any time.
For example, Twitter has been changing the way third-party services are allowed to connect, possibly in an attempt to eliminate some potential business rivals.
For example, there used to be a bunch of third-party services that allowed you to manage who you're following -- see who hasn't Tweeted for a while, for example, and take them off your list. Most of those are now gone.
So be careful about creating a business model that depends on permanent free access to another company's API.
most of these type of APIs are only free to an extent. In case of large ammount of traffic they tend to charge the user.

Definite integrals
Definite integrals (part 2) More on why the antiderivative and the area under a curve are essentially the same thing.
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Welcome back.
- So where I left off, we said that we had this, I guess you
- could call it, equation or this function, although I didn't
- write it with the function notation, where I said, the
- distance is equal to 16 t squared, and I graphed it, it's
- like a parabola, right, for positive time.
- And then we said, well, the velocity, if we know the
- distance, the velocity is just the change of the distance
- with respect to time.
- It's just, the velocity is always changing, you can't
- just take the slope, you actually have to take
- the derivative, right?
- So we took the derivative with respect to time of this
- function, or this equation, and we got 32t, and this
- is the velocity.
- And then we graphed it.
- And then I asked a question.
- I was like, well, we want to figure out, if we were given
- this, if we were given just this, and I asked you, what is
- the distance that this object travels after time, you
- know, after 10 seconds?
- Let's, you know, let's say this t0 is equal to 10 seconds.
- I want to know how far is this thing gone after 10 seconds.
- And let's say you didn't know that you could just take the
- antiderivative, let's say we didn't know this at all, and
- let's say you didn't know that you could just take the
- antiderivative, because we just showed that, you know, the
- derivative of distance is velocity, so the antiderivative
- of velocity is distance.
- So let's say you couldn't just take the antiderivative.
- What's a way that you could start to try to approximate
- how far you've traveled after, say, 10 seconds?
- Well [? as I said, ?]
- you graph this, and you say, let's assume over some
- change in time, velocity is roughly constant, right?
- Let's say velocity is right here.
- So you could approximate how far you travel over that small
- change in time by multiplying that change in time, let's say
- that's like, you know, a millionth of a second, times
- the velocity at roughly that time, or maybe even the average
- velocity over that time, and you'd get the distance you've
- traveled over that very small fraction of time, right?
- But if you look at it visually, that also happens to be the
- area of this rectangle, right?
- And what we said, is if you want to know how far you travel
- after 10 seconds, you just draw a bunch of these rectangles,
- and you sum up the area, right?
- And you could imagine, and you don't have to imagine, it's
- actually true, the smaller the bases of these rectangles, and
- the more of these rectangles you have, the more accurate
- your approximation will be, and you'll approach 2 things.
- You'll approach the area under this curve, right, almost the
- exact area under this curve, and you'd also get almost the
- exact value of the distance after, say, 10 seconds
- in this case, right?
- But 10 didn't have to be an exact number.
- It could have been a variable.
- So this is something pretty interesting.
- All of a sudden, we see that the antiderivative
- is pretty darn similar to the area under the curve.
- And it actually turns out that they're the same thing.
- And this is where I'm going to teach you the
- indefinite integral.
- So the indefinite integral, I don't know how comfortable you
- are with summation, I remember the first time l learned
- calculus, I wasn't that comfortable with summation, but
- it's really, all the indefinite integral, is is you can kind of
- view it as a sum, right?
- So now, you'll maybe understand a little bit more why this
- symbol looks kind of like a sigma.
- That's actually how I view it.
- And please look it up so you can see properly
- drawn integrals.
- But in this case, the indefinite integral is just
- saying, well, I'm going to take the sum from t equals 0, right,
- so from t equals 0, to let's say in this example, t equals
- 10, right, because I said 10.
- From t equals 0 to t equals 10.
- and I'm going to take the sum of each of the heights, the
- height at any given point, which is the velocity.
- And then, what's the formula for the velocity?
- It's 32t and then I'm at times the base at each
- of these rectangles, dt.
- And so this is the definite integral.
- The definite integral is literally, and they never do
- this in math texts, and that's what always kind of confused
- me, is that you can kind of view it like a sum, like this.
- It's kind of the sum of each of these rectangles, but it's the
- limit, as-- if these were discrete rectangles, you could
- just do a sum, and you could make the rectangle bases
- smaller and smaller, and have more and more rectangles,
- and just do a regular sum.
- And actually, that's how, if you ever write a computer
- program to approximate an integral, or approximate the
- area under a curve, that's the way a computer program
- would actually do it.
- But the actual indefinite integral says, well, this is a
- sum, but it's the limit as the bases of these rectangles get
- smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller, and we have more
- and more and more of these rectangles.
- So as these dt's approach 0, the number of rectangles
- actually approach infinity.
- So I'm actually going to, I'll do that more rigorously later,
- but I think it's very important to get this intuitive feel
- of just what an integral is.
- It isn't just this voodoo that happens to be there.
- But anyway, so going back to the problem.
- So the integral from-- this is now a definite integral,
- extending from t equals 0 to t equals 10.
- This tells us 2 things.
- This tells us the area of the curve from t equals zero to t
- equals 10, right, it tells us this whole area, and it also
- tells us how far the object has gone after 10 seconds.
- Right?
- So it's very interesting.
- The indefinite integral tells us 2 things.
- It tells us area, and it also tells us the antiderivative.
- Right?
- We're already familiar with it as an antiderivative.
- So let me give you another example.
- Actually, maybe I'll stick with this example, but
- I'll clear it a bit.
- Actually, maybe I should erase.
- Erasing might be a good option with this one,
- since it's fairly messy.
- I think you know all this stuff now.
- I just need space.
- Maybe, OK, so we have that indefinite integral.
- And we could actually figure it out, too.
- I mean, well, after t seconds, [UNINTELLIGIBLE].
- So and the way you evaluate an indefinite integral, and let me
- show you that first, is that you figure out the integral.
- So let me just say, let me continue with the
- problem, actually.
- As you can tell, I don't plan much for these presentations.
- So the way you figure out the indefinite integral, is you
- say, and sometimes they won't write t equals 0 to t equals t.
- They'll just say from 0 to 10 of 32t dt.
- Right?
- And the way you evaluate this, is you figure out the
- antiderivative, and you really don't have to do the plus c
- here, so the antiderivative, we know, is 16t squared, right?
- It's one half t squared times 32.
- So that's 16t squared.
- And we evaluate this at ten, and we evaluate it at 0, and
- then we subtract the difference.
- So we evaluate this at 10, so 16 times 100, right?
- That's evaluated at 10, and then we subtract
- it, evaluate at 0.
- So 16 times 0 is 0.
- So after 10 seconds, we would have gone 1600 feet.
- And also, the area under this curve is 1600.
- So let's use this to do a couple more examples.
- And actually, I want to show you why we do this subtraction.
- Actually, I'm going to do that right now.
- Let me clear it.
- Oh, that's ugly.
- I'll now do it more general, actually.
- Let me draw this twice, once for the distance, and
- once for its derivative.
- So let's say that the distance, yeah, well, let's just say it
- looks something like this.
- Let's say you start at some distance, and then it
- goes off like that.
- Right?
- So let's say we call this distance b.
- Well, let's just call this, you know, I don't know, 5.
- Right?
- We start at 5 feet, and then we moved forward from there.
- And this axis is of course time, this axis, maybe I
- shouldn't do 5, because it looks so much like s.
- That's 5, 5 feet.
- And this is the s, or distance, axis.
- And actually, I just looked at the clock.
- I'm running out of time.
- So let me continue this in the next presentation.

Floating Doctors - bringing relief to the developing world
'Floating Doctors - medicos who go sailing to relieve suffering in the developing world' .
Floating Doctors is an all-volunteer, non-profit medical relief team dedicated to reducing the present and future burden of disease in the developing world. They go sailing to effect their mission.
It all started in Tanzania, 2005 with an empty backpack once filled with medical supplies. An aspiring American medical student was burdened with a sense unfulfillment when his supplies ran dry and scores of sick and injured villagers were left untreated.
Dr. Benjamin La Brot, from Topanga in California, remembers treating those with wounds, infections, and other ailments at the Masai Village. But what he remembers most about his trip is running out of medication and supplies before having the chance to treat the entire village. This powerless, overwhelming feeling served as motivation for the 33-year-old doctor to plan for a new mission; a mission to transcend the concept of providing effective aid and relief on an international scale that is both economically and environmentally friendly.
Inspired with his new idea, four years later La Brot headed a nonprofit group called the Floating Doctors who sailed for a year-long medical mission aboard a 76-foot sailboat that carried 15 crew members and 20,000 pounds of medical supplies.

They sailed to 15 countries in Latin America and the Pacific Islands. Their boat, Southern Wind, was donated by a Florida couple. A volunteer crew repaired the old boat into a fully functioning mobile medical vehicle. They visited Haiti, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Tuamotu Archipelago, Tonga, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Melanesia.
Now, in a new expedition, since May of 2010, a dedicated permanent crew and many visiting volunteers have voyaged to Haiti and along the Atlantic coast of Central America on their own year-long medical mission to provide supplies and assistance to existing relief groups, and to carry health services to remote locations that are cut off from care.
Floating Doctors works with local officials, relief groups and community leaders to identify and address specific needs in communities. Whether it be doing mobile clinics for remote island communities, providing advanced life support training for the fire department on Roatan, lending hands and the expertise of our volunteers in local clinics, coordinating and delivering supply shipments from international donors to local groups, or even transporting 12,000 pounds of lumber and material to Haiti and building two schools, Floating Doctors is about leaving the biggest possible, longest-term health benefits for the lowest expenditure of resources.
As the founder of the group Dr. Benjamin La Brot says, 'The Law of the Sea is always 'stop and help' because you never know when it might be YOU in trouble far away from any assistance. And if we all stopped and helped just a little, together we could accomplish great things.
'Sailing has made my dream possible, so I feel pretty indebted to those who came before and especially to those who, in the future, I hope will still have the opportunity hold their hand on the tiller and the feel of blue water under their keel.'

Follow Jeff on Twitter @Jeff1470TheFox For All The Latest Eagles and NFL Coverage!
This is the one date all NFL fans circle on their calendar like its Christmas morning! And that is the day the upcoming NFL Schedule is announced as fans can start checking out their team's big matchups, get arrangements in order and start making road trip plans with their buddies. The best is that as soon as the schedule is announced everyone going down the schedule and overhyping their team's record for the upcoming season five months away before squads even have their roster intact which is pointless but still entertaining and fun!
So here you have it the Eagles 2013 NFL Schedule is here! Here is a quick look at the matchups…
Week 1: Mon. Sept 9th @ Redskins 7:10pm: What a way for the Eagles to kickoff the 2013 season, in primetime on the road against their NFC East Rivals the Washington Redskins! A lot of storylines heading into this game, Chip Kelly's first game as Eagles head coach and the debut of his fast pace offense, Robert Griffin III's health only nine months removed from serious knee surgery, can the Eagles' revamped defense contain RGIII after he embarrassed them last season… So it really isn't surprising that this game is on Monday Night Football. This is the 1st time since 2005 the Eagles kickoff the season on Monday night when they traveled to Atlanta to take on the Falcons.
Week 2: Sun Sept 15th vs. Chargers 1pm: The Eagles home opener will come against San Diego which fired Norv Turner in the offseason and turned to former Broncos Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy as lead the ship for the Chargers as they hope to rejuvenate QB Phillip Rivers career and turn him into Peyton Manning in McCoy's effective offensive scheme. (This isn't likely in my opinion.) The last time the Eagles/Chargers met was 2009 in San Diego where threw for 2 scores in a 31-23 victory.
Week 3: Thurs Sept 19 vs. Chiefs 8:25pm: A short week for the Birds as they play their third game in 11 days to start the season but luckily for them it's back to back home games. But more importantly it's the return of the winningest coach in the franchise history, Andy Reid. For the first time Reid will be at Lincoln Financial Field this time on the visitors sideline. It will be interesting to see the Philly Faithfull's reaction when he walks out of the tunnel and it's fitting that this game is on national television for the entire nation to see… hey maybe Reid's coaching tendencies will benefit the Eagles and help them get a victory.
Week 4: Sun Sept 29th @ Broncos 4:25pm: The Eagles travel to Mile High for the first of a three game road trip against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. This is a team that was one blown coverage away from going to the Super Bowl and they added more fire power on offense for Manning to use at his disposal by getting slot guru, Wes Welker. The Eagles D will have their hands full against the 4-time NFL MVP and haven't had a lot of success against Peyton as he has a career 3-1 record against the Birds with a 8-3 TD/Int ratio and a QB rating of 103.7.
Week 5: Sun Oct 6th @Giants 1pm: In 2012 the Eagles split the season series but this was the location of Andy Reid's final game as Eagles head coach when the Birds got manhandled 42-7. But this is the start of a new regime and rivalry as Chip Kelly and Tom Coughlin meet for the first time. No matter what the record is between these two squads, it's almost always a grudge match especially this early in the season as both teams will be hungry for a victory.
Week 6: Sun Oct 13th @Buccaneers 1pm: Tampa Bay is one of those teams that people really think could be on the rise with 2nd year HC Greg Schiano. Last offseason they addressed the offensive side by getting some weapons for QB Josh Freeman by acquiring WR Vincent Jackson. Then in 2012 they looked to fix their dreaded secondary by getting one of the top marquee safeties on the market, Dashon Goldson. With Goldson, former 1st round draft pick Mark Barron, and CB Eric Wright in the backfield it's going to be difficult for opposing offenses to find success through the air. Eagles are 4-3 all time on the road vs. Tampa Bay including a Nick Foles' 4th quarter comeback last season.
Week 7: Sun Oct 20th vs. Cowboys 1pm: The Cowboys swept the Eagles in 2012 but return home after three long weeks on the road. The Cowboys believe that QB Tony Romo is the man for the job after giving him a hefty contract extension in the offseason. This will be the Eagles first crack at the evil empire as they won't see Dallas until the season finale hopefully for a playoff spot.
Week 8: Sun Oct 27th vs. Giants 1pm: This will be a pivotal game for both teams especially the Eagles. This will be their 4th division game only eight weeks into the season. So not much ground to be made later in the season if the Eagles fall behind early. These divisional games are just meaning that much more.
Week 9: Sun Nov 3rd @Raiders 4:05pm: I know this is the Raiders but you can never count a game out where the Eagles have to go out to the west coast… They have had issues in the past out West especially against inferior competition so don't put this up as a W just yet. New coach, new quarterback….
Week 10: Sun Nov 10th @Packers 1pm: This is one game I can't wait for and wish it was earlier in the season but will be an awesome game. Arguably the best QB in the game right now, Aaron Rodgers going up against Chip Kelly's offense… If you like high scoring games and no defense, this is the game to watch. Right now I like the Eagles defense a little bit more but Rodgers knows how to light it up.
Week 11: Sun Nov 17th vs. Redskins 1pm: This will be the last divisional game for the Eagles for six weeks before the season finale against the Cowboys. And it will be 10 weeks since these two teams met for the first time. By this affair, both teams will be a bit more familiar with each other and their tendencies.
Week 12: Sun Nov 24th BYE- This is the latest bye week since 2000 when the Birds had a Week 16 bye week.
Week 13: Sun Dec 1st vs. Cardinals 1pm: No more Andy Reid and no more Kevin Kolb shouting out the Eagles offensive calls at the line to give them advantage. Maybe the Eagles can finally get a victory over the Cardinals…
Week 14: Sun Dec 8th vs. Lions 1pm: Eagles fans hope for a blizzard during this game for the hope to slow down Stafford and Megatron passing attack through the air because as the Lions have shown in the past, they can't commit nor win when they run the football… Hopefully in Chip Kelly's offense, the Eagles can.
Week 15: Sun Dec 15th @Vikings 1pm: Adrian Peterson vs. Lesean McCoy… Two of the top versatile backs in the NFL today… We could see a combine 400 yards from scrimmage between these two to set up an exciting matchup…
Week 16: Sun Dec 22nd vs. Bears 1pm: For the sixth time in seven seasons the Eagles and the Bears will square off once again… and when these two meet it's always a dog fight and comes down to the final play… But will be weird not to see the face of the Bears for over a decade, Brian Urlacher not on the football field for Chicago. But still have a lot of fire power on offense with Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, and Matt Forte in the backfield. But again it all comes down to the QB Jay Cutler and his decision making. Maybe the Eagles can play spoiler as I see the Bears in possible playoff contention unlike the Eagles unfortunately.
Week 17: Sun Dec 29th @Cowboys 1pm: And for the fourth time in six seasons, the Eagles will finish their season against the Dallas Cowboys. With the NFL wanting to stick divisional matchups at the end of the season for possible playoff implications, I don't see this game meaning more than bragging rights as the Eagles try to spoil the Cowboys holidays.
Conclusion: It's just weird how this scheduled shapes up. They start the season on short rest playing three games in 11 days. They go on a 3 game road trip which it seems they do almost every single year, and the Eagles have a chance to build a lead early in the division with four games in the first eight weeks. The NFL normally likes to put most of the divisional games towards the end so a little surprising the Eagles only have two in the final six weeks. Also it's surprising no Sunday Night Football games and only two primetime games, both within the first three weeks. Thought people want to see Chip's offense… I guess the NFL doesn't.
Also the bye week could be a bad thing or a good thing. We know how the NFL has shaped up to whoever is hot at the end is the one that goes on the run to win it all. If the Eagles are on a roll it could derail their momentum but on the other hand it could give them much needed rest and get healthy late in the season to make a push so I see either way.
I know the normal thing is to give your season predictions which are pointless right now but hey ill do it… This is how I see it: Divisional opponents are always difficult, rough start to season with short rest, three game road trip and some other long traveling like to Oakland, they face a tough division in the NFC North and you factor in a whole new coaching staff with new schemes and many question marks at key positions including quarterback. I see this being a mulligan year for the Eagles as Chip Kelly looks to get his feet wet but don't get me wrong I hope for a successful season and hope they prove me wrong but I see 6-10, 8-8 tops. I wasn't too thrilled with this schedule coming in but we can predict all we want but they have to play the games on the field so anything can happen. This just means we are one step closer to some football again on Sundays!
Other scheduling nuggets (Courtesy Eagles Media Relations):
- · Monday Night Madness … The Eagles open the season on Monday night for the first time since 2005 when they kicked off the year at Atlanta
- · Book Ends … The club will begin the season against the Redskins for the tenth time and first time since 1996. This also marks the eighth overall instance the Eagles and Redskins will face off on Monday Night Football … In addition, this will be the fourth time in six years and sixth time overall that the Eagles will conclude the season against the Dallas Cowboys
- · Bye-ing Time … The Eagles bye week in Week 12 is the latest bye week the team has received since 2000 when it fell in Week 16 (December 17th)
- · Home cooking ... The Birds are 13-5 at home all time against the four teams currently residing in the AFC West, including a 5-1 mark since 2000
- · Road Warriors … The team will hit the road for three consecutive weeks for the first time since the 2006 season, when they went 3-0 against the NFC East from Weeks 14-16
- · Welcome Back … The Birds will travel to Denver and will welcome the Chargers to Philadelphia, both firsts since 2005
- · Northern Exposure … Including the playoffs, the Eagles are 18-10 (.643 winning percentage) against the NFC North since 2000
- · Familiar Foes … They will play the Chicago Bears for the sixth time in seven seasons. The past five contests between the two teams have been decided by six points or fewer

Shmini Atzeret
Dora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Seven to Eight - Succot To Shmini Atzeret
coincidental that:
* In Parshat Shmini - the 'eighth day' is chosen for the
dedication of the Mishkan;
* In Parshat Tazria - the 'eighth day' is chosen for the "brit
Milah" of a male child;
* In Parshat Metzora - the 'eighth day' is chosen for the day
on which the cleansed Metzora, Zav, and Zavah bring their
special korbanot;
* In Parshat Emor - the final holiday is "SHMINI atzeret"?
In last week's shiur, we discussed how the seven days of
Succot (and the seven weeks of Shavuot as well) relate to their
celebration of the harvest at key times during the agricultural
year. [Specifically 'seven' to emphasize that the creation of all
nature - the cause of the agricultural cycle - was (and continues
to be) a willful act of God.]
This week, we return to Sefer Breishit in search of the
biblical significance of the number 'eight'.
From the above examples in Sefer Vayikra, eight appears to
be significant simply because it follows seven:
* "Yom Ha'shmini" follows the SEVEN days of the "miluim";
* The korbanot on the eighth day of the Metzora and Zav follow
their minimum SEVEN day "tahara" period;
* "Shmini Atzeret" follows the SEVEN days of Succot.
Brit Milah, however, appears to be an exception. Although the
mother happens to be "tamey" (unclean) for the first seven days
after her son's birth (12:2), there does not appear to be any
logical connection between these seven days and the commandment
to perform "milah' on the eighth day. In fact, the original
commandment to Avraham Avinu circumcise his offspring on the
'eighth day' (see Breishit 17:7-14) is not connected in any
manner to the laws of "tumah" or "tahara". In that parsha, there
doesn't seem to be any obvious reason why specifically the eighth
day is chosen.
However, a study of the parsha of "brit milah" in the wider
context of Sefer Breishit suggests a very interesting
relationship between "milah" on the 'eighth day' and the 'seven
days' of Creation. To uncover that relationship, we must first
conduct a quick review of the first seventeen chapters of Sefer
Recall from our study of Sefer Breishit (see this week's
shiur Parsha shiur) that God's creation of the universe is
presented in Chumash from two perspectives:
1) "b'shem ELOKIM" (1:1 -2:4) - which focused on God's
creation of NATURE, i.e. a structured universe, in SEVEN
days [what we call 'perek aleph']; and
2) "b'shem HAVAYA" (2:5-4:26) - which focused on God's
special relationship with Man, i.e. the creation of Gan
Eden, and man's banishment from that environment after he
sinned [what we call 'perek bet'].
Without going into the complex details of this 'double
presentation', we will just posit that God's relationship with
man develops along the lines of each of these two perspectives.
In other words, we will find that at times God may talk to man
b'shem Elokim, while other times He may speak to him b'shem
Havaya - each Name reflecting a different perspective of that
developing relationship.
For example, in perek aleph, God - b'shem Elokim - blesses
man that he be fruitful & multiply, master the earth and rule
over all other living creatures (see 1:26-28). In contrast to
this perspective of man as ruler, in perek bet - b'shem Havaya -
man is created in order to become God's servant, whose job is to
tend and watch over His Garden (see 2:15-17).
This double perspective continues in the Torah's account of
the Flood. Because of he sinful behavior of "dor ha'Mabul" (the
generation of the Flood), God decides to destroy His creation,
saving only Noach and his family. The explanation for this
punishment is presented according to both of these perspectives:
1) b'shem Elokim - see 6:9-6:22.
2) b'shem Havaya - see 6:5-8 & 7:1-5.
Likewise, in the aftermath of the MABUL, God redefines His
relationship with man, again from both perspectives:
1) b'shem Elokim - see 9:1-17
2) b'shem Havaya - see 8:18-21
After the flood, the children of Noach disperse into seventy
nations (10:1-32). From that time onward, up until the story of
"brit Milah" (i.e. chapters 11->16), the Torah describes any
intervention by God exclusively from the perspective of "shem
Havaya". For example, God's punishment of the builders of the
Tower of Babel is described b'shem Havaya (see 11:1-10).
Similarly, God's choice of Avraham Avinu to become the forefather
of His special nation is also described b'shem Havaya (see 12:1-
16:16). In fact, God - b'shem Havaya - makes several promises to
Avraham concerning the future of his offspring and the Promised
Land (see chapter 13). This promise is formalized, again b'shem
Havaya, at Brit Bein Ha'Btarim (see 15:1-20) - a covenant which
not only foresees the conquest of the Land of Israel by Avraham's
offspring, but also foresees the forging of this nation through
bondage in a foreign Land.
Thus we find that from chapter 11 until chapter 16 in Sefer
Breishit, God speaks to man exclusively b'shem Havaya. In chapter
17, when God commands Avraham to perform Brit Milah, this pattern
suddenly changes! In this narrative, God first introduces Himself
as "kel sha-dai" and then, for the FIRST time, He speaks to
Avraham Avinu b'shem ELOKIM:
"When Avram was ninety-nine years, God [HAVAYA] appeared to
Avram and said to him: "ANI KEL SHA-DAI", walk before Me and
be blameless. And I will establish My COVENANT between Me
and you... Avram fell on his face, and God [ELOKIM] spoke to
him saying... This is my COVENANT with you..." (17:1-4)
Note how in this covenant, given b'shem Elokim, God:
a) changes Avram's name to Avraham;
b) blesses him that he will multiply ["pru u'rvu"];
c) promises that he will become a great nation;
d) promises him and his future generations Eretz Canaan;
e) promises to be his God ["l'hiyot l'cha l'ELOKIM"];
f) commands him to circumcise his male children, etc.
To better appreciate the significance of this special
covenant of "brit milah", we must compare it to the two earlier
instances in Chumash where God spoke to man b'shem Elokim:
(I) After the creation of man on the sixth day (1:27-30);
(II) After the Flood (9:1-17).
I) On the sixth day, when man is created b'tzelem ELOKIM, God
(b'shem ELOKIM) blesses him that he should:
a) be fruitful and multiply ["pru u'rvu"];
b) be master and ruler of the living kingdom;
c) eat from the plants and fruit of the trees.
II) Some ten generations later, after the Flood, God (b'shem
ELOKIM) blesses Noach and his children in a very similar
fashion (9:1-7), including:
a) to be fruitful and multiply ["pru u'rvu"];
b) to be master of the living kingdom;
c) permission to eat living creatures [not only plants];
This divine blessing is followed by a special covenant, also
given b'shem Elokim. This covenant, better known as "brit
ha'keshet" (the rainbow covenant), reflects the establishment of
a special relationship between God and mankind, i.e. God's
promise that He will never again bring about the total
destruction of His creation (see 9:11-15).
[See Ramban on 6:18, especially his final explanation
of the word "brit", based on the word "briya"!]
As we explained above, the next time that God speaks to man
b'shem Elokim is only some ten generations later - at Brit Milah!
Once again we find that God speaks to man in order to establish
a special covenant. Note the striking textual similarities
between this covenant - "brit Milah" and the earlier covenant -
"brit ha'keshet":
a) to be fruitful and multiply 9:1 / 17:2,6;
b) "va'ani hi'nei... briti itach(em)..." 9:9 / 17:4;
c) "v'hakimoti et briti..." 9:11 / 17:7;
d) "ha'aterz" // "eretz canaan" 9:13,16,17 / 17:8
e) "ot brit": "ha'milah // ha'keshet" 9:13,17/ 17:12;
However, in addition to these similarities, in "brit Milah"
we find an important promise - "l'hiyot lachem l'Elokim" [to be
a God to you"] - which reflects a much closer relationship. In
fact, this key phrase is repeated twice, for it emphasizes and
defines the purpose of Brit Milah (read 17:7-8 carefully!).
This background can help us understand the commandment that
"brit milah" be performed specifically on the eighth day.
Note the progression of God's relationship with man from the
perspective of 'shem Elokim':
1) The Creation of NATURE in SEVEN days (1:1-2:4);
2) The covenant with Noach after the Flood (9:1-17);
3) The "Brit Milah" covenant with Avraham Avinu to be
performed on the EIGHTH day (17:1-14).
One could suggest that circumcision on the EIGHTH day relates
to this elevation of man's spiritual level, ONE step above the
level of his original creation in SEVEN days.
Let's explain this statement, based on these three stages of
this progression b'shem Elokim:
(1) During the first seven days, God brought the universe to a
stage of development where it appears to 'take care of
itself'. Be it vegetation, animal, or man, all species of
life secure their existence by their ability to reproduce;
they become fruitful and multiply [e.g. "zo'ray'ah zerah",
"zachar u'nekeyvah", "pru u'rvu", etc.]. Man's mastery of
this creation, his desire to conquer and his ability to
harness it, are all part of this phenomenon which we call
NATURE. The first chapter of Breishit teaches us that, what
we call nature, is not simply an act of chance, rather a
willful act of God. [By resting on Shabbat, once every seven
days, we remind ourselves of this point.]
(2) After the "mabul", God (b'shem Elokim) 'starts over' by re-
establishing His relationship with mankind in a covenant
with Noach, known as "brit ha'keshet". This covenant
reflects a relationship very similar to that in God's
original creation in seven days, with some 'minor' changes:
Man remains master of His universe (9:2), with a 'small
change' in his diet (9:3-5), and a commandment that it is
forbidden to murder a fellow human (9:6-7). However, the
basic laws of nature remain the same (see 9:8).
(3) Up until Brit Milah, man's relationship with God b'shem
Elokim remained distant. Although Man was the pinnacle of
God's creation with certain minimal expectations of moral
behavior, he was basically just part of nature. Man was
given power; he acted LIKE God [b'tzelem Elokim], but was
not CLOSE to Him. At Brit Milah, Avraham is raised to a
higher level. He and his offspring are chosen to represent
God as His special nation, and towards that purpose, they
are awarded a special relationship -"li'hiyot lachem
l'Elokim". As an "ot", a sign, of this relationship, they
are commanded to circumcise their children on the 'eighth
Thus, the EIGHTH day represents yet one more level of
progression in the creation process, which first took place in
SEVEN days.
[What the Maharal calls "m'al ha'teva - above nature!]
Just as there is a progression within the first seven days
of creation b'shem Elokim, from "domem" [inanimate / "shmayim
v'aretz"], to "tzomayach" (vegetation), to "chai" [animal
kingdom], to "adam" [man], so too on the 'eighth day'. The
offspring of Avraham has been chosen to take God's creation and
elevate it to a higher level.
This interpretation could reflect a statement made by Reish
Lakish, explaining the meaning of God's name "kel sha-dai" which
is first introduced at Brit Milah( 17:1-2):
What's the meaning of "ani kel-sha'dai"? God said: I am the
One who said to the world "dai" - [enough, or stop]."
(Yalkut Shimoni siman 81, Chagiga 12a)
[See also the pirush of the "Torah Tmima" on this pasuk.]
This explanation may help us understand the complex opening
of the Brit Milah narrative: God, b'shem Havaya - the Name of God
which Avraham is familiar with up until this point - informs
Avraham that He is "kel sha-dai", the God who had 'stopped' His
process of creation after seven days (17:1-2). Now, b'shem
Elokim, the Name of God that orchestrated the creation in seven
days, intervenes yet one more time. He establishes a covenant
with Avraham, to command him with the mitzvah of "brit milah",
to raise him ONE level higher, i.e. closer to God..
Thus, God's commandment that we perform Brit Milah on the
eighth day is not incidental. Rather, it reflects the very nature
of our special relationship with God.
Milah on the eighth day was only one example of this '7/8'
relationship in Sefer Vayikra. Based on our shiur, we can now
explain the other examples:
As explained in last week's shiur, the seven days necessary
to dedicate the Mishkan reflects the parallel between our
construction of the Mishkan to serve God, to God's creation of
nature in seven days, to serve Him. [See Tehillim 104 - "borchi
nafshi..."!] On the 'eighth day', the "shchinah" descends upon
the Mishkan, allowing it to become the focal point for the
development of the special relationship between God and Bnei
SEVEN DAYS "TAHARA" / EIGHTH DAY "KORBANOT" [Metzora, Zav, Zava]:
Different types of "tumah" are caused by some abnormal
behavior of the body. Seven days of "tahara" are required to
return the "tamei" person back to the 'camp' - to his normal
existence, his natural habitat. Then on the eighth day, he must
bring a special korban to allow his entry into the Mishkan. [Note
the parallel between this process, and its korbanot, to that of
the kohanim during the seven day miluim and Yom ha'Shmini.]
As agriculture and nature go hand in hand, all of the
agricultural holidays follow cycles of seven (see Vayikra chapter
23). In the spring [chag ha'aviv], as the grain harvest begins,
we bring "korban ha'omer" and celebrate chag ha'matzot for SEVEN
days. Then we count SEVEN WEEKS until the completion of the wheat
harvest, bring "korban shtei ha'lechem", and celebrate chag
ha'SHAVUOT. On succot, "chag ha'asif", at the at the end of the
agricultural year ["b'tzeit ha'shana /see Shmot 23:16], we thank
God for our fruit harvest by celebrating for seven days and
bringing the "arba minim" to the Mikdash. At the very end of this
cycle of agricultural holidays, we add SHMINI ATZERET, a special
gathering with no special agricultural mitzvah. It is simply a
time to stop and reflect on the holiday season and year that has
passed. On this 'eighth day', we focus on the special
relationship between God and Bnei Yisrael.
This special relationship between God and Bnei Yisrael which
begins with Brit Milah, reaches its fullest expression with Matan
Torah at Brit Har Sinai.
Based on this interpretation, it is understandable why Chazal
chose this holiday to celebrate as SIMCHAT TORAH, and to conclude
on this day the yearly 'cycle' of reading the Torah.
