משה פייגלין: The new reality solves the issue of converting the children of immigrants who are not Jewish and solves the conversion issue even in non-chareidi tracks [and this is the root of the resistance].
רָפָאֵל: From this point onward, one should begin to see the various uses of the Ger as he goes through grammatical chaos [AKA the Hebrew Language at its best].
We will be introduced to:
- Ger
- Ger Toshav
- Ger Tzedek
- Ger - Conversion [Giur]
- Ger - Dweller
- Ger - Fear
- Ger - religious
- Ger - resident
- Onkelos’ perspective of these terms as they come up in Torah
- Ger Mitzvot
There really is only one Ger and he is simply called "Ger."However there are many types of Ger, for, technically, Ger is a term that represents all of Mankind. As we splinter into many types of Ger, remember, there is only one Ger.
When you read the Torah and you come upon a mitzvah [and a Ger moment] - if your heart and soul cries out "Ger!" - then embrace the moment, for this is Ger. The rest is just commentary. Baruch Hashem.
רָפָאֵל: The usage "Gur" [derivitive of Ger] comes in 3 ways: neighbor, fear, fright
The usage [Grammatical Ger: (to) Gur] of "to dwell" can be seen in the Biblical as "Gar’"and "Giur" [the former being more literal and the latter showing that "to convert" is not the definition on any level in these instances].
[paraphrased]: The original "Ger" of the Onkelos Commentary [Onkelos was a Ger] was a non-Jew who joined onto the congregation of Israel. Only after many years [or many years of developmental Judaism] did the Ger/Ger process imply a Ger Tzedek - conversion status. A direct result of the Ger-semantics [when explaining Ger-usage in regards to dwelling with Jews,etc.] is an innate confusion from the extrapolation of the term Ger as it becomes Gior (Gee-ore) [גיור] grammatically in context to dwelling. Often it can be mistaken for Yitgayair [Ger derivitive in grammar] (גיור/יתגייר) and this causes a limitation onto the mitzvah to "Love the Ger."
***[point of paraphrase] The Passover Offering [to be brought] is by halacha a Ger Tzedek. Onkelos however refuses to use the term of conversion, rather he goes with a dweller who becomes permanently attached to his new [Torah] dwelling.
