Who introduces Eliezer to the kabbalah?

Question 1 options:

His father


Moshe the Rabbi


Moshe the Beadle

Answers

Answer:

Moshe the Beadle.

Explanation:

Kabbalah is the study of the mystical interpretation of the Bible, the school of thought, and the study and teaching related to this. It is a part of the Jewish tradition to learn or be introduced to this study for them to become "god-fearing" men.

In his memoir "Night", Eliezer Wiesel mentioned how he wanted to learn more and be taught. But when he asked his father to help him, he refused, saying that "He wanted to drive the idea of studying Kabbalah from my mind." Then, he found Moishe the Beadle, who became "a master", teaching him "for hours on end about the Kabbalah's revelations and its mysteries".

Thus, Moshe the Beadle introduces, teaches, and helps Eliezer about the Kabbalah.

why does Telemachus think that Odysseus is God? how does Odysseus explain his sudden transformation​

Answers

[tex]\huge\pink{Answer}[/tex]

Telemachus is tired of waiting around for his father to come home. He wants to rid his family's estate of all the suitors chasing after his mother. He continues to have hope that his father will one day return home. When Odysseus does finally arrive home, Telemachus mistakes him for a god.

FOLLOW ME ♥️

Answer:

Telemachus believes Odysseus to be a god because initially, Odysseus is disguised as a beggar so as not to be recognized when facing the suitors. However, right in front of Telemachus's eyes, he transforms into a young, healthy looking person. Odysseus, however, has transformed thanks to the help of the goddess Athena. She is the one who suggested Odysseus to be disguised, and she is also the one who helped him achieve such as remarkable disguise.

The shoplifting and fraud division is the correct answer

The non-governmental employer that would hire Detective Jones is the shoplifting and fraud division for a supermarket chain. The correct option is a.

What is shoplifting?

Shoplifting is the theft of goods from an open retail establishment, typically by concealing a store item on one's person, in pockets, under clothes or in a bag, and leaving the store without paying. With clothing, shoplifters may put on items from the store and leave the store wearing the clothes.

The terms shoplifting and shoplifter are not usually defined in law. The crime of shoplifting generally falls under the legal classification of larceny. Shoplifting is distinct from burglary theft by breaking into a closed store, robbery stealing by threatening or engaging in violent behavior, or armed robbery stealing by using a weapon.

In the retail industry, the word shrinkage or shrink can be used to refer to merchandise lost by shoplifting, but the word also includes loss by other means, such as waste, uninsured damage to products and theft by store employees.

"In a Station of the Metro" by Ezra Pound
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
List the descriptive words in the poem which help you visualize the setting.

Answers

Answer:

In Ezra Pound’s short two-lined poem, he depicts the dreary scene of a busy metro station. Pound’s deliberate choice of words such as wet and dark builds on this cheerless setting. The word apparition suggests that glimpses of people at the station are fleeting and always changing, creating a tone of unpredictability or even unreliability. The unusual structure of the poem forces a blending of two separate thoughts: the abrupt presence of passengers and petals on a tree. As the passengers come and go from the station, their faces begin to resemble petals on a dark and dreary bough.

Answer: he depicts the dreary scene of a busy metro station. Pound’s deliberate choice of words such as wet and dark builds on this cheerless setting. The word apparition suggests that glimpses of people at the station are fleeting and always changing, creating a tone of unpredictability or even unreliability.

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.
