Hello Rabbi,
Regarding the article ” The Essence of Time in Halacha and in General “:
1. I still haven’t been able to understand where the article is going – what do I “gain” from a philosophical, conceptual, halachic, or conceptual perspective from understanding that time exists?
2. If I understood correctly, then there are temporal commandments like those that Maimonides disputed about the HaG, why he listed them, and there are “linear” temporal commandments, so that a spiral is created in the ascent to the Mount of Hashem, but what I don’t understand is
“Where is it in the “trig”?” Are the circular mitzvot the same as the Seder Moed and the linear mitzvot the same as the Seder Nezikin? How exactly does this work?
3. What is the real meaning of the time-dependent mitzvot like Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal? If this is something that happened once in history, and if it is shown that they were not kept, have we lost the correction forever?
4. In the article itself, you wrote from the latter about the additions to Gittin 7. That an offense caused by time is an offense by force and not by intention. But even tort laws are by force and not by intention and they are not dependent on time, so when?
Would there be significance to an offense that does depend solely on the object?
The following two questions are unrelated to the article:
5. There is an interesting point in the context of the order of holy things and purity in the context of time: in holy things for time there is a certain superiority over space, all the miracles in the Temple were in space but not in time, for example standing
Crowded and bowed spaces, a coffin is not of the measure, and even rolling and cutting is only in thought outside of its time but not outside of its place, and even in purity there is an impure person, an impure object, and an impure place (although the impurity of the land of the nations
It is from the rabbis, but the sealed tomb, as far as I understand, is impure from its Torah counterparts. But there is no such thing as impure time. Do you think these things have any meaning?
6. Someone once told me that according to Kabbalah, women are exempt from the mitzvot that time caused because they were created from the same spiritual root that time was created, and this is what is written in the Torah in the section on the Eight Kings (I think it is at the end of Toldot).
That all 7 kings died because they had no wife except the last one, and these are all the worlds that God created and destroyed until the last king, which is our world, in which there is time and woman, who are from the same root, and because they are already created from there
They do not need the following commandments because they are already corrected by them. Is this true?
thanks

1. Earning the truth. Although it also has halachic implications (such as grasping time, like the fasting of Gedaliah ben Ahikam on Shavuot 20). 2. The Bible also lists temporary mitzvot during the cyclical time (all mitzvot that are time-related are such). Passover, Sukkot, reading Shema, New Moons, and so on. 3. I do not know why these commandments were only stated for a specific time. But that is the situation. I will point out that I have no explanation for many commandments that are not dependent on time, and therefore it is difficult to answer what the purpose of temporary commandments is. Perhaps there are corrections that depend on time itself. It is possible that in practice they are relevant if the same circumstances exist at another time, but the Law did not command them except for that moment. 4. A mitzvah that the time of the grama is essential in the gabra. Other mitzvahs can be like this and that. For example, vows are in the gabra and shavuot are in the gabra regardless of time. Similarly, the mitzvahs of rabbis are in the gabra according to the Natiyam Si’ Rald. 5. I don’t know if this is a coincidence or something fundamental. I would point out that in the Kedshim the night follows the day. This is a fundamental difference between the Kedshim and the rest of the Torah regarding the timeline. 6. I have no idea and deal in the occult. On the face of it this sounds like baseless speculation, but maybe someone can explain this enigmatic writing. I don’t.
