Dear HG,

Rava uses an expression to explain his opinion, that the Pigul reawakens.

The basis is the Pasuk in Tehilim 78:65-"AND Hash-m awakened likee a sleeper". The problem arises: is there a problem with using this expression since someone could claim that there is disrespect to Hash-m in inserting the word Pigul in place of Hash-m (comparison, Chas veShalom?)

The Chida mentions a similar question that once someone used a parable to describe a certain Talmid Chacham which as is contained no problem, but the continuation would be insulting- is this considered Bizayon Talmid Chacham. He answers that its Mutar since what he says is alright, and what is "Sheyarei Lashon- remainders of the tongue are ignored. The proof is from Rava- there is obviously no problem in his opinion to talk like this.

All the best,

Reuven Weiner
