"The problem of an eidos in history, hence, arises only when a Christian transcendental fulfillment becomes immanentized. Such an immanentist hypostasis of the eschaton, however, is a theoretical fallacy."-Eric Voegelin
George Will Advice
"I grew up in Champaign, Illinois, midway between Chicago and St. Louis. At an age too tender for life-shaping decisions, I made one. While all my friends were becoming Cardinals fans, I became a Cub fan. My friends, happily rooting for Stan Musial, Red Schoendienst and other great Redbirds, grew up cheerfully convinced that the world is a benign place, so of course, they became liberals. Rooting for the Cubs in the late 1940s and early 1950s, I became gloomy, pessimistic, morose, dyspeptic and conservative. It helped out of course that the Cubs last won the World Series in 1908, which is two years before Mark Twain and Tolstoy died. But that means, class of 1998, that the Cubs are in the 89th year of their rebuilding effort, and remember, any team can have a bad moment. So fellow members of the Class of 1998, my last piece of advice is - Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Cub fans."

Subject: Re: Gedusha
Rav Yhonatan Chipman writes concerning Paltiel Birnbaum's Siddur
<< My favorite correction of Birnbaum's is in the third blessing of
Birkat Hamazon, where in a footnote (not in the text) he changes
"kedoshenu" to "gedoshenu" (as in the adjective "gadush," meaning full,
overflowing), making the phrase into a series of synonyms ("yadkha
he-mele'ah hepetuha hagedosha vehar'hava..."). Gd's Holiness is
irrelevant in this particular context.>>
This change is not original with Birnabaum. R' Baruch Epstein, Z"L, the
baal "Torah T'mima " was the first to offer this emendation in his sefer
"Baruch She'omar". In the sefer he makes a very convincing case for
this correction . Among other things he states, as Rav Chipman notes,
that G-d's holiness does not fit the context.
I believe that this was one of his concepts that his father, the baal
Aruch Hashulchan would not endorse with out textual proof from earlier
siddurim or other sources, as R' Baruch himself mentions in his book of
memoirs entitled "M'kor Habracha"
Baruch Merzel
actually the aruch hashulchan does mention the existence of such a girsa...
