The verse which explains this week's value comes from Deuteronomy. (A Rav of mine once gave a shiur (lesson) on this topic and cited the humourous translation found in the Soncino Humash. A point for those who find it and share the 'weird' translation.)
“If a person comes across a nest of birds, he cannot take the mother bird with the young, but must send the mother away first.” –Deuteronomy 22:6
What are you opinions of this? Also, can you find another example in the Torah? HINT: I discussed it recently in class. If you know what it is, or have an idea, e-mail it to me and it will become part of the next post.

why the heck would i wanna take any bird?
i guess this would mean to kill the owner of something before you take whatever belongs to that owner. like to wait when that women is dead or gone to take her husband. quite barbaric, although im probaly wrong.
This refers to when the king sent the husband of the woman he was in love with to battle. He did this so he could marry her and not ever have the husband, now dead find out. The quote means that you should not take what does not belong to you and to honor other people's belongings.
ummm.. why would someone take a bird??
I honestly dont know what this is about, but i think that David and the woman in the bath is as close as it gets..
mr.sakofs i dont have your email and my computer doesnot have microsoft word so i hope its ok that im just going to bring in the 25 things tomorow...
Well i think this means that a mother should not see their kids die. I really dont understand what this means. Maybe the story of David and the woman can relate to this quote.
I think this post means that if you are to split up and animal family, then that is like splitting up a human family. Living things have feelings and we need to be sensative to those feelings and not cause unnecessary pain.
like its almost as if ur decieving it to leave and u take control of the nest
I guess this quote means you must be honorable to other people and their belongings especially if you expect respect from them. You also must not do things for the benefit of yourself, but for the benefit of those around you. Like when King David was too selfish to care about that woman's husband.
The quote in my opinion, means that to avoid any suffering when a child has to be taken away from its parents, the parent must be sent away in order to escape any grief. For instance, in one of the Samuel chapters, when David, sees the beautiful lady from the roof, he takes her away from her husband and leaves her husband for dead. He does this to get the lady all for himself.
i think this means that u shouldnt let the mother see her baby get taken away so be respectful and take the baby bird when shes not there
it almost be disrespectful to take the baby bird in fornt of the mother bird becuase ur taking her baby away form here.
i dont rely complety get this quote though so yeh
I don't really understand this quote. I don't understand why the bmother couldn't just stay with the nest. ha
