1. New Articles Posted to Quora by Yair Davidiy
What is the difference between chasidim, Haredim, and Orthodox Jews?

Comment by Bill Rasmussen
That is a very clear and great explanation of the differences between each group. I identify with all 3 groups and what they believe. Perhaps I am more inclined toward the Chasidim because of the teachings of Rebbe Menachem Schneerson of Chabad. His knowledge of Torah, wisdom, his kindness and desire to see all Jews serve HaShem and follow Torah, left an indelible mark on me. Todah rabah for this excellent insight.
Who did Judah and the Maccabees defeat in the revolt that is part of the Hanukkah festival?

2. Chance Cunningham: The Tribe of Asher in the North
Yair, Shalom!
I have enjoyed the constant flow of information. The document provided on the Tribe of Asher as it pertains to Norway; I concur with your findings and might also suggest that the information also applies to Sweden, as Sweden became such and the whole of the north was, in fact and truth, Norway or The Lands of the North.
Now, I also understand that this has brought debate. Unfortunately, I disagree with the comments made by Orjan.
I am 72% Norwegian and Swedish combined. I am true to my lineage and bloodlines and it is good to note that in Old Norse mythology or history, the first people created by Odin or Odiniahel, were Ash and Elm. This gives us further information to study; as you have so elegantly stated, As, Asier, Asi, Asguard and the like, are all related to one man, Asher or Aser.
We must consider also the records of the Norse. They are all believers in the Ash Tree. Some believe this tree to be that of the Olive. Personally, I do believe this Ash tree was the Olive tree.
I think that we can also use the Zohar by way of example. We know that the Tribe of Asher was placed in the North as a "shield" to the whole of Israel. Now, Zohar describes that from out of the North, evilness enters into this earthly realm. Where then does God place his shield and sword? In the North, and Norway and Sweden is an excellent vantage point for the Tribe of Asher.
The position of Norway and Sweden also aligns with the blessings that Asher received by Jacob and Moses.
We should also consider the fighting style of the people of the North (Norway and Sweden). Asher was blessed with extra ordinary skills in battle, so much so, that he because the shield and sword to Israel and his enemies fear him. The vikings also possess this same ability. They struck fear in everyone that they battled. There is definitely a link here!
Again, thanks for your input and work!

3. Bill Rasmussen: Chanukha and Brit-Am
Shalom Yair and Chag Chanukah Sameach! May HaShem be with you for these very precious and special 8 days. We celebrate the victory over the Syrian Greeks as well as the Menorah oil lasting for 8 days. At a time where the US and Israel seem imperiled, we know that HaShem will deliver us from our enemies.
