Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
Genesis 38:8
The story of Judah and Tamar shows that the levirate practice predates Sinai and the written #torah, as do all of God's rules. In a levirate marriage, if one brother was married and died with no children, his next brother was required to marry his widow. For all legal purposes, the first son from that marriage would be considered the son and heir of the deceased brother. If the man had no full brothers, the duty would fall on the next closest male relative, other than his father.
Happy #evolution Day to all those who believe aliens seeded the earth with organic life. Congratulations on having your preposterous improbable (mathematically impossible) philosophy kept on life support with billions in tax dollars and academic censorship of the Intelligent Design movement. https://replug.tfp.digital/0045bdd0 #bigtech #business

So Hanukah starts in a few days! Here are our thoughts.
First of all, we try to teach our children truth. We see no need to teach them legends when the truth is so incredibly exciting. So I have written the story of the Maccabees in a way that is appropriate for children. “Jonathon’s Story” recounts the true story of the Maccabean Revolt in 8 chapters, one for each day of Chanukah. You will be carried off with the faith, the emotion, the victories. Each day also has a few activities to enjoy together as a family. Great heroes are worth learning about, and it’s great to have fun while you learn.
