Q&A: A Site Glitch? ‘These Brazen Dogs’
A Site Glitch? ‘These Brazen Dogs’
Question
I asked about the singing in the synagogue during the third Sabbath meal, in “Bnei Heikhal” — people loudly shout the words “these brazen dogs.” What is the reason for this, and what does it mean?
(I’m embarrassed to ask in the synagogue.)
The Rabbi answered, but for some reason it won’t open for me. I tried on the computer too, and nothing opened. Is there some glitch on the site?
Answer
I’m not aware of any glitch, but I’ll copy here what I wrote to you:
No worries — they don’t understand anything either, and are just shouting out of habit.
Who are those brazen dogs? There are many interpretations of this. The “shell of the dog,” people driven by sexual lust, and other harmful forces. You can see a related discussion here: https://forum.otzar.org/viewtopic.php?t=19247
