this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay we're here on Mount Etna not Mount Etna right at na we're surrounded by lava in the background you see the three or four craters you see the smoke coming out of it I don't know if this is that if that's considered an eruption what would the be if you saw a volcanic eruption would you make a br on a volcanic eruption one thing we know says looks at the Earth and it shakes he touches the mountains and it smokes so there's like a heish of sorts between an earthquake and volcanic eruption we know we do make AA on an earthquake says if you see thunder if you see lightning if you see an earthquake you make AA do you make AA and other things are those just examples can we extrapolate from them or are those is however writes that if you see a volcanic eruption you do make a so the question is why did the poim only speak about earthquakes and they didn't speak about volcanic eruptions there were not that many poim who lived in Hawaii or who lived near Mount Etna they never saw no Pake ever saw a volcanic eruption earthquakes many of them experienced so therefore says rabar of course you would make a braa why wouldn't you make AA it's just as stupendous and spectacular and unusual if not more it's just it wasn't disussed because it wasn't something that was ever relevant so I don't think though just seeing the smoke would constitute making AA but if you see some of the lava coming out I think we should go for it okay you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
