pWotD Episode 2981: Hess triangle Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 288,058 views on Monday, 30 June 2025 our article of the day is Hess triangle.The Hess triangle is a triangular, 500-square-inch (3,200 cm2) plot of private land in the middle of a public sidewalk at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Christopher Street in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The plot is an isosceles triangle covered by a mosaic plaque that reads "Property of the Hess Estate which has never been dedicated for public purposes." The Hess Triangle is the result of a dispute between the city government and the estate of David Hess, a landlord from Philadelphia who owned the Voorhis, a five-story apartment building. In the early 1910s, the city claimed eminent domain to acquire and demolish 253 buildings in the area in order to widen Seventh Avenue and expand the IRT subway. By 1913, the Hess family had exhausted all legal options. However, according to Ross Duff Wyttock writing in the Hartford Courant in 1928, Hess's heirs identified that a small corner of Plot 55 had been excluded during the city’s seizure of the Voorhis property and subsequently filed a notice of possession. The city asked the family to donate the diminutive property to the public, but they chose to hold out and installed the present, defiant mosaic on July 27, 1922.In 1938 the property, reported to be the smallest plot in New York City, was sold to the adjacent Village Cigars store (United Cigars at that time) for US$100 (equivalent to $2,234 in 2024). Later, Yeshiva University came to own the property, including the Hess Triangle, and in October 1995 it was sold by Yeshiva to 70 Christopher Realty Corporation. Subsequent owners have left the plaque intact. The triangle and Village Cigars shop behind it were placed on sale in 2021.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 15:24 UTC on Tuesday, 1 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hess triangle on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.

The Rebbe thanks the students of Yeshivas Achei Temimim in Pittsburgh for their Maos Chittim contribution, praising their care for others.

The Rebbe supports uniting New England institutions but says it's premature. He urges encouraging a supporter to publish a sefer in memory of his father. He advises strengthening Torah and Chassidus for students and growing the yeshiva through more enrollment and Yiras Shamayim, concluding with blessings for success. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/adar_beis/962

Perhaps the most controversial and divisive subject that dominates Israeli society today is the question of the blanket army exemption given to Yeshiva students. Someone whose Torah is their profession is entitled to defer and ultimately bypass mandatory constriction to the IDF. What is the rationale for this exemption? Why are the ultra-orthodox (Chareidi) communities so adamantly opposed to serving in the army? Don't they know the imperative to help contribute towards the safety and protection of the nation? Don't they know the chastisement that Moshe levied on the tribes of Reuben and Gad when they asked to stay on the East Bank of the Jordan? What are the ways by which these seemingly intractable gaps can be bridged? In this podcast we attempt to demystify the subject of Chareidi refusal to enlist in the IDF.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This special podcast is dedicated in loving memory of R' Shlomo Ben Avigdor Moshe and R' Yitzchak Yaakov ben Eliyahu.

Korach claimed hierarchy's aren't necessary and that Moshe was just advancing his own interests when in reality Korach only started his movement for self-gain and "Nature" itself rejected his policies.

Klal Yisroel is described as Am Kelavi Yakum but the reason why differs from that of similarly named Operation Rising Lion.

The Rebbe urges the Yeshiva in Lod to prioritize Yiras Shamayim and observance before scholarship. He suggests adding halacha and minhagim studies, meaningful Shabbos/Yom Tov experiences, Chassidus before davening, and strengthening overall chinuch despite modern challenges. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/adar_beis/949

The Rebbe expresses joy at the successful Melbourne Yeshiva dinner, both financially and spiritually. He hopes this will attract broader support and more students, the true measure of a school's success. He also blesses the recipient with continued personal and communal well-being. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/010/5538

This episode of the Tradition Podcast features an engaging conversation about current scholarship on Maimonides—the “Great Eagle.” TRADITION's Winter 2025 issue presented a review essay by Marc Herman on Prof. Mordechai Akiva Friedman's Ha-Rambam u-Genizat Kahir [Maimonides and the Cairo Geniza] (Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities), and Rabbi Dr. Aaron Adler's Al Kanfei Nesharim: Mehkarim be-Sifrut ha-Hilkhatit shel ha-Rambam (Tevunot Press at Herzog College). In this podcast, reviewer meets his subject as Herman and Ahron Adler discuss aspects of their common work on Maimonides. Among other topics, they consider differences in approach to Maimonidean research carried out by pure academicians as opposed to a rabbinic educator who dabbles in academia and benefits from its methods, and how R. Adler synthesized traditional “yeshiva style” learning with academic tools in his book.  They also speculate about whether or not and how the academic approach, utilizing the vast manuscript material available today, could or should make its way into traditional study in batei midrash. Read Marc Herman, “Maimonides in Panoramic View: New Studies of the Great Eagle,” TRADITION (Winter 2025). R. Dr. Aaron Adler is a veteran communal leader, educator, and scholar. He is rabbi emeritus of Ohel Nechama in Jerusalem, and founding Rosh Yeshiva at Yeshivat Bnei Akiva Ner Tamid in Hashmona'im. Dr. Marc Herman is an assistant professor at York University in Toronto. His first book, After Revelation: The Rabbinic Past in the Medieval Islamic World (University of Pennsylvania Press), will be published in the coming weeks.The post Rambam in the Yeshiva and the University first appeared on Tradition Online.

"If someone tells you there is Torah by the Goyim don't believe them. If they tell you there is wisdom by the Goyim, believe them." What is this wisdom and does it originate from the Torah or is it something else entirely?

The secret of Torah is the actual "magic" contained within which simultaneously changes a person while granting them their deepest desires.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 47 minutesSynopsis: This morning (6/5/25) we had what will likely be our last Q&A of the 2024-2025 season! We discussed the following five questions: (1) Have my views on Mishleic fatalism changed? (If you're not familiar, don't worry - we review it.) (2) What insight can I offer on the types of high-stakes life decisions that tend to start cropping up as one enters adulthood? (3) What advice would I give for reading Halakhic Man? (4) What are some guidelines for learning Pirkei Avos? (5) What mistakes do I see yeshiva bochrim during their time in yeshiva? (and what regrets do I have about how I used MY time in yeshiva?)-----מקורות:Mishlei 21:11https://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/mishlei-211-mishleic-fatalismGandalf-----Summer is almost here, and I'm planning to level up my Substack game.

How and why proper "self-love" is not just healthy but also the path to true emunah in Hashem.

What does it take to go from learning Torah to owning your unique chelek in Torah—and maybe even publishing it?In this powerful return to Shtark Tank, Rav Tzvi Goldstein joins us for a deep and practical conversation about writing, editing, publishing, and most of all—developing a personal connection to Torah that lasts beyond Yeshiva.Why your unique Torah insight matters—and why you might not have permission to keep it to yourselfHow Rav Hirsch and Rav Soloveitchik's hashkafos shaped Rav Tzvi's own Torah worldviewWriting as a spiritual discipline: not just for clarity, but for growth and legacyWhat to do before you publish (and how much it really costs)Behind the scenes of editing seforim for Rabbanim and laymen alikeWhy Substack might be the best starting point for sharing your TorahAnd yes—why your writing doesn't have to wait until you're 60Best Quotes“If you really have a unique Torah idea… you don't have permission to keep it to yourself.”“Writing isn't just expression—it's clarity, chazara, and connection.”“Publishing a sefer isn't just about ego or status. It's about celebrating Torah—with yourself, your family, and your community.”Thinking of Publishing?Rav Tzvi breaks down the entire process:Content edit → Copy edit → Proofread → Typesetting → Final read-through → Print or publish online.Whether you go with a major publisher or self-publish, he offers tips, costs, and what to expect—without the smoke and mirrors.For More from Rav TzviCheck out this substack post on the same topicOrder Rav Tzvi's book Halachic Worldviews

A man once informed the Chazon Ish that a plane with 70 passengers had crashed and there were no survivors, לא עלינו . He proceeded to tell the rabbi the cause of the crash. The people who were there were eager to hear what the Chazon Ish would say about the incident—to hear the Torah perspective and gain the proper outlook on such a terrible tragedy. The Chazon Ish responded that this is not the way the story should be told. The correct way to describe it is like this: The Creator of the world decreed that 70 individuals were to end their lives on that day. And so, He gathered them all onto one plane. There was one man who was not included in that decree, and so Hashem made him miss the flight. There was someone else who hadn't planned to fly that day, but when he heard that there was a free seat, he joined the flight—not because of bad luck, but because it had been decreed for him to pass away that day. Whether an event happens or does not happen depends solely on the word of Hashem. Human actions are merely the vehicles that bring about the plan that Hashem has already set in motion. This is pure אמונה . A person must internalize that causes are not what determine events. First comes the decree of Hashem, and only afterward come the apparent causes. If someone is meant to have a certain amount of money, it is not his actions that produce the result—it is the decree of Hashem that brings it about. That being said, a person should know he never has to do anything shady to receive what is meant for him. Hashem has infinite ways of giving a person פרנסה , and when someone is presented with an opportunity to earn it through lying or cheating, it is a test for him to overcome. He will never lose by doing what is right, and although he may not see immediate benefit, that's all part of the test. Those who act with falsehood may see immediate gains from their actions, but if the money they earned was truly meant for them, they would have received it in a Kosher way. And if it wasn't meant for them, they will ultimately lose it. A man told me he asked his sons if they wanted to contribute money to a betting pool on a certain sporting event. Most of them said yes, but one of them—who is a rabbi—said he didn't feel comfortable betting on a sporting event and declined. The next day, the four who participated won a total of $12,000 and divided it equally, giving each person $3,000. One of the siblings said to the rabbi that he felt bad the rabbi didn't join, because he could have won a lot of money. The very next day, the rabbi's name was called in an auction at his children's Yeshiva, and he won a gift certificate worth $3,500. He saw clearly that if he is meant to earn money, Hashem has infinite ways of giving it to him. The more Emunah a person has, the more confident he becomes that Hashem is involved in every moment of his life. Sometimes it feels like Hashem is not there—but that is exactly when we need to use our Emunah the most, and understand that He is with us, listening to every word we say and watching every action we take. A woman told me she was going through a difficult time and decided to open her Tehillim and start reading from the beginning. When she reached near the end of פרק ס״ו (chapter 66), she lifted her eyes and wondered if Hashem was really listening to herTehillim. She then looked back down into the book and, astonishingly, the next words were: אכן שמע אלוקים, הקשיב בקול תפלתי In truth, Hashem has heard; He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer. Exactly what she had been wondering was answered in the very next line she was about to read. She felt so comforted, sensing the closeness of Hashem. And although she was in a difficult time, that moment gave her the strength to persevere. Hashem is in control of every last thing that happens at every moment of every day. It is up to us to recognize that and act accordingly.

In the classic song of Bar Yochai there is a line which translates to "when Hashem thought to make Man, he envisioned you (Rebbi Shimon)"—what was it about Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai which made him worthy of such a compliment?

The true definition of the word "kadosh" is "separate" (as opposed to "holy"). This begs the question, whats so special about being separate?

Is the belief among Yeshiva bochurim that making money is easy — fact or fiction? According to Halacha, what happens when business partners fail to discuss equity upfront? What if one partner works harder or originally came up with the business idea — how should that be handled? Can you start your own business while working for someone else — and what if it's competitive? What does it really take to succeed as an entrepreneur?

Rabbi Kalish and Nachi Gordon sit down for the first ever live audience podcast at the Pesach at Bordeaux program.
