Friend on Twitter: Who knew? You can post to WordPress from Word. Kind of a weird combo, Microsoft and Open Source, but ok. Me: Wondering if this counts as shatnez*, tbh. Friend: According to Beit Hillel*, this could be considered shatnez. Me: Wow. If even Beit Hillel are going all (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻) you know its some serious shtuss* VOCAB: Shatnez: The combination of linen + wool, Biblically forbidden to Jews (the two shrink and wear at different rates, causing pulling and holes and early wearing out of a garment -- wasteful!). Also, the yoking together of two different types of animal (the smaller one would be pained by the combination, and the larger would be frustrated with the smaller for not pulling his weight and might lash out at him), also Biblically forbidden. By extension, the combination of any two things that cant or shouldnt be combined, because at least one of the two will be harmed by the combination. Beit Hillel: Hillel was a very famous rabbi, and Beit Hillel (the House/School of Hillel) were his students. Hillel was famous for compassion and his open-minded approach to the teaching of Jewish law and to living by it. Shtuss: Nonsense, garbage, bullsh--.
