Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara says that there were two ‘nekamos’ (revenges) one was good and one bad.  Rashi explains the bad nekama was Hashem’s vengeance on the nations for rejecting the Torah, and the good was Hashem’s freeing their mammon to Yisroel on account of their refusal to receive the Torah.  If it is viewed from the nations’ perspective then certainly both can be considered bad revenges, alternately if we are viewing from Yisroel’s viewpoint they are both considered good, why then do we say that one is bad and one good?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

What does the Gemara mean that Hashem had ‘initially intended to create two but ended up creating one’ – given the fact that there is of course no relation here to the way humans think etc.?
