Honorifics for the dead in Judaism Puns

I have to admit that I am a South Korean, but I am not anti-Japan. So, this is not to incite a flame-war, but I am genuinely curious about their thoughts.

I guess probably Korean and Japanese are the only languages that have sophisticated honorifics. In Korean, as well as in Japanese, as far as I know, if the listener has a higher status than the person being spoken about, the speaker does not use honorifics for that person. That is, if A is talking about B to C, and even if B has higher a higher status than A, if C has a higher status than B, A does not use honorifics for B.

It is seems that up until the 1970's, Korean news reports had used honorifics for the president, but now they do not, because the listeners, i.e. the South Korean people, are thought to be on a higher status than the president. I started listening to Japanese news a few months ago, and I cannot help but notice that the news reporters always use very high honorifics for the emperor and his family, like 天皇陛下、さま、になりました, etc, which are not used for the prime minister, Shinzo Abe.

I have watched tonnes of Japanese animations and some TV dramas, and I had been forgetting that Japan is a kingdom (or empire), because I had almost never seen anything related to the emperor on those shows, as if the whole emperor's family did not exist.

But I guess the Japanese people cannot avoid listening to news related to the emperor's family. If the newscasters use honorifics for the emperor's family, that means that they are above the listeners, the Japanese people. Doesn't this sound kind of odd to them?

And overall, do they like the emperor? It seems the British people love their queen, I wonder the Japanese's attitude toward the emperor is like that.

So I play the game in German text and audio, and I noticed there was something off in the way Aurene spoke to us during the Dragonfly instance (where we fight Kralkatorrik airborne). I thought it might have been an oversight back then, but when she talks to us in the latest story episode, it was the same:

She seems to be the only NPC in the game that talks to the commander without using honorifics. In German, she uses "du", like "Hast du das gesehen?" while every other NPC in the game seems to use the antique "ihr" (which is pretty common for German translations in fantasy games or movies), like "Habt ihr das gesehen?".

I know this concept does not really exist in English, (you would use additional words like "Sir" or "Madam"), but in case you play the game in another language, is it the same there?

I think it is a pretty cool idea overall, makes you feel that Aurene is much closer to the commander than anyone else in Tyria.

I nearly did once, then immediately realized it and covered it up with sarcasm.

Evening everyone,

Im curious to see how active officers address those of the LGBTQ+ community? The equivalent of sir/ma'am?

I only ask as I have applied for a position and I don't want to offend if I get in?

Watching this show on Netflix, and the they don't translate the titles/honorifics. I know some of them because they're also in Urdu, but many I do not.

Asking in this subreddit since /r/Turkey seems to be a very bolitical sub.

I know MidEast Christians despite not having the old food prohibitions, still tended to avoid pork because of their belief in its sanitation similar to how its often theorized Judaism and esp Islam forbids pork for health reasons.

But I cannot understand why Christians in the rest of the world don't get sick from pork? I understand Europe's colder climate often kills of worms and germs associated with pig diseases. But what about Latin America where half of the world's Christian population live in and traditionally had pork as a common meat because of its ease in raising as livestock? Latin America often reach the average heats found in desert countries (and often surpass it!) but it also even has the added problems of humid and wet environment perfect for bacteria to thrive in! Yet no on there gets sick from pig diseases such as trichinosis!

If the scientific theory behind Islam and Judaism's prohibition of pork is because of diseases, why doesn't South America, traditionally a hotbed of Catholicism and pork cuisine, suffer from the diseases ancient Hebrews and Muslims often got from eating pork (which led to the prohibition in the first place)?

I mean the theory is that its the hot environment of the deserts of the Middle East that caused trichinosis and other pork related diseases because it made it a thriving environment for worms and germs to grow in pigs as well as the stuff pigs ate in the deserts. So how come the same doesn't apply to Latin America and the rest of the world where Christians immigrated to from Florida to Texas and Australia?

First of all: I’m sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to ask this question, and if so I’ll happily move it! But I would just like to ask anyone who has some knowledge of the Japanese language what’s going on.

So I’ve been watching BNHA, and I noticed that while a lot of character such as midoriya DO use honorifics, characters such as Kirishima while addressing Bakugo don’t seem to do that? There’s quite a few instances where I have hear characters address others by name with no honorifics and it confuses me as these characters are good friends, yet from my knowledge not using an honorific is seen as disrespectful? Any answer is appreciated!

There is an article from Steven Kepnes called "God is One, All Else Is Many: A Critique of Green and Artson," and a response from Arthur Green titled "A Response to Steven Kepnes." I'd like to read both of these since I've finished Green's "Judaism's 10 Best Ideas," (Which I enjoyed) and I'm currently reading his "Radical Judaism" which I'm kind of bouncing off of.

If anybody could point me in the direction of the articles or if you could provide a scan or photo, that would be awesome.

Todah! / תודה!

How does one know who is a true prophet and who is not. And how does one know that what the person is speaking is indeed the word of God? Also, if God wanted to change a part of his decree (due to the need for a different time) how would one know which one to follow--- the old or the new? Third, why did Judaism reject Islam?

Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 29:8:

> We have mentioned before (Chapter 1:3) the saying of Rabbi Yehudah ben Teima,^28 "Be bold as a leopard…" [which teaches] not to be ashamed before people who deride you when you worship the Creator, blessed is He. Nevertheless, you should not answer them rudely,^29 so that you will not acquire the habit of being impertinent even in situations not involved with the worship of God, blessed be His Name.

1:3 says:

> Yehudah son of Taima says: "Be bold as a leopard, light as an eagle, swift as a deer and strong as a lion to do the will of your Father in heaven."^4 "Bold as a leopard" means, you should not be ashamed before people who mock you for worshipping Hashem, Blessed be His Name. "Light as an eagle" refers to what the eye sees. This alludes to the requirement to be swift to close your eyes to prevent the seeing of evil because the sight of evil constitutes the beginning of sin. The eye sees and the heart desires and the organs capable of action culminate the sin. "Swift as a deer" refers to the legs, for your legs should run to do good things. "Strong as a lion" is a reference to the heart, because true valor in serving the Creator, Blessed is He, emanates from the heart. He also states: "Strengthen your heart to serve Him, and overpower your evil inclination and defeat it as a hero triumphs over his enemy, defeating him, and casting him to the earth."

Note 29 from 29:8 above says:

> "This paragraph refers to the case where an individual is being mocked for his performance of a certain mitzvah. However, if the mockery is intended as a flagrant demonstration against Torah Judaism as a whole, as an attempt to influence others to abandon God’s way by holding an observant Jew up to ridicule, then these efforts must be thwarted by whatever means possible, no matter how harsh or drastic they may be. (Biur Halachah 1:1)"

This is what antisemitism seeks to do. We know this from Vayikra 26:3-7 and 14-39

Antisemites try and make Jews not follow Torah and not be Jews because this is how the
