Where I live where it is about 30 miles between often very small towns (about the distance a man on a good horse would ride in a day), and can be well over 100 miles between a sizable town or city to the next. You can see the problem. Even observant Jews ignore this so called "law" here as well. And by "very small towns" I mean a post office and small store, grain elevator, less that a dozen people, and usually one paved road. Not many synagogues in those places. For Messianics, if we couldn't drive long distances no one could attend synagogues, congregate for the feasts, etc.

Yes, please link me to weekly Parasha, I would like to start making a list of the other Commandments. Also, wouldn't it be cool to live in such a place, to live a very basic and peaceful life I mean. What's an example of such a town if I may ask? I was told that Coraline Idaho is one of the most peaceful places to live in the US. |

Yes, please link me to weekly Parasha, I would like to start making a list of the other Commandments. You are already linked. Go to the menu, 3rd down is "The Foundation" and it has 5 boards, Genesis through Deuteronomy. The parashot, though they contain readings from other books are primarily about Torh, so this is where they are listed. We are just starting in Exodus, so you'll have Genesis to catch up on. You'll notice mine are preceded by a number. The last entry I made was:
16.3 Par'shah B'shelach
16 is the number of the parashah we are on, and .3 indicates the 3rd year I have been doing this. So the ones for this year which concentrate on (but aren't necessarily limited to) actual commandments will have the suffix .3.
Every 2-3 parashot I put a list of all the verses with commandments we have thus far. So when we are done we'll have that as a reference. But I'd recommend you read the parashot because there is sometimes a better discussion of the commandment. Also you can post questions there. Please, if you do have any questions, post them in the parashah from which they were taken and not the current one (unless of course that is where the verse is taken from). In other words, work from the parashot, not the list attached to it. You can revive discussion on any parashah at any time simply by posting your question there.
Also, wouldn't it be cool to live in such a place, to live a very basic and peaceful life I mean. What's an example of such a town if I may ask? I was told that Coraline Idaho is one of the most peaceful places to live in the US. Get out a map of any state, and those small towns are everywhere. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is a city, but there are a lot of small towns around it. And yes, it is a beautiful area and generally peaceful. A lot of trees, mountains, and Lake Coeur d'Alene is gorgeous. I used to live in Spokane, WA not too far from there (by Western standards); also a very beautiful city. Spokane is where the parent synagogue for the forum is located, by the way. Get out of the city and you'll find the countryside dotted by small towns, some no more than a grain elevator and railway siding. Work in these places is almost all related to either farming or ranching. In Idaho there used to be a lot of logging and mining, but those have both been drastically cut back by tree huggers and gov't regulation. But agriculture will be going strong in Washington, at least until the unmentionables on the left side of the mountains get their way and remove the dams here. Politics everywhere here are less than peaceful, unfortunately. Larger towns are of course less peaceful overall, but have more job opportunities.
I've lived in Texas, New Mexico, California, Hawaii, and Washington, and I've been to every state in the US, including Alaska. It is pretty much the same everywhere, including New York. Get away from NYC and your own state is very beautiful, with a lot of peaceful small towns. So you don't have to move across the country to find that. Even Long Island has a little of that, although it is very expensive to live there. LOL, it was a shock to my system to drive past fields of cabbage the first time I went there! I always thought it was part of the city, and was expecting to see people growing like weeds and stacked like cordwood!
The point is, those towns are everywhere. And so are computers, which as I recall you work with. Learn to repair Mac's and I'll give you a map here! There isn't a Mac repairman within over a hundred miles! That may be because I have the only Mac in the region, and nothing ever goes wrong with it. But still, I'd feel better if there was a repairman close. Mine is getting old (5-6 yrs, which is like Methuselah in computer years).
Good luck with your search!

Thanks I will start with Genesis.
My ideal living situation would be like in a farmhouse here in or close to NY as I would need to be close to my Autistic son and my mom but I would also need internet as that is my livelihood. Nowadays one can get satellite internet or Aircards to get internet from anywhere but it's very expensive.
I do specialize in Mac repair but now only Software [OS X] repairs. For hardware repairs I refer people to other hardware techs or I can send their units to hardware repair companies. What's this "map" you're referring to please?

So you do Mac repairs ... Good thing you live where there are lots of people. Mac repairmen are kind of like the Maytag repairman; a lonely bunch. Mine is way past the point of paying for itself vs. the repair costs of owning a cheaper Windows system. Everything is backed up on a Seagate Plus drive, so if it does ever crash I'll probably just upgrade to a good Mac laptop, then take this one to Spokane and get it fixed then use it as a backup. Sit 2 Mac's close enough and I believe they talk to each other (have to get the Dummies book to see how that happens- I am an unabashed and unconcerned ludite), so it'd be like another backup. But I will NEVER go back to Windows! LOL, I don't even know how to use Windows any more! And I am just O-O-O-O-K with that.

Any map that shows towns, their approximate size, and location. Roads, including type and size. Buy a New York roadmap and tack it on your wall.

Dan C Well no, it's the exact opposite here in the heart of NY [queens]. In my area there are many techs in every zip code and there are 1800 registered pc repair companies/technicians in NY. Some techs repair computer for $30, that's how high the competition is and is why years ago I had to branch out into other fields like web development and Marketing. Years ago one tech in my network had said he lives in a small town in Canada with a population of 10k people so he was lucky. Right here in PA a Tech named Cindy told me she has more work than she can handle so yes you are definitely correct it depends on where you live. Dan, is this the area with the Commandments Project? theloveofgod.proboards.com/board/45/breishit-genesisThat has many pages and threads so just making sure if the process is for me to read through every thread on every page? |

Yes, that's where you'd start. Go to page 2 and look for the one titled 1.3 Bereshit. That's the 1st parashah in the 3rd year I've been doing them. Then work forward from there, going next to 2.3, then 3.3, and so on. Then when you finish Genesis, move on to Exodus. We're still on page 1 there, starting with 14.3 Par'shah Shemot- Names.
The earlier ones have fewer commandments, but still some good information as we also look at principles and concepts when commandments are light.
Hope that helps.
