Jun 17	revised	Ohr HaChaim on Redemption because of Torah You can't state something as fact if you don't have a text to back yourself up.

Jun 15	comment	Kabala in Halacha The reason why we don't wear tefillin for mussaf on rosh chodesh is kabbalistic; the radbaz has an important teshuva on it where he discusses the relationship of halacha and kaballah.
Jun 15	comment	Does G-d only hear one language? Bear in mind, though, that all physical references to God (I.e. hearing or seeing) are euphemistic (Rambam Hilchot Yesodei Hatorah 1:9-end)
Jun 14	comment	Did Noah's ark have a deck? How accurate are typical depictions?
Jun 14	revised	Why isn't there confirmation outside the Reform Movement? depersonalization

Jun 14	comment	Why isn't there confirmation outside the Reform Movement? @DoubleAA so then what exactly gets downvoted? (asked in all sincerity btw)
Jun 14	comment	What is the kiss of death? @ba (s)he has difficulty seeing this (^^obviously euphemistic^^) event as a euphemism.
Jun 14	comment	Why isn't there confirmation outside the Reform Movement? but wouldn't such a ceremony increase meaning? It sounds like a pretty meaningful ceremony to me!
Jun 14	comment	Saving a Jew's life on Shabbos if s/he does not observe Shabbos @AdamMosheh you're trying to tell me that we assume a non-Jew will convert but not that a Jew will return?
Jun 14	comment	What is the kiss of death? All "physical manifestations" attributed to God are euphemistic (Yesodei Hatorah 1:9). Why do you assume otherwise?
Jun 13	comment	Saving a Jew's life on Shabbos if s/he does not observe Shabbos we know that this statement from Yoma doesn't hold strong nowadays, because we even desecrate shabbat for a non-Jew, who will keep no future shabbatot.
Jun 13	revised	Does casual sex establish a marriage? nowhere else on the site do we use german transliteration (except perhaps in the word "jew" which is now commonplace english)
Jun 13	suggested	suggested edit on Does casual sex establish a marriage?
Jun 13	comment	Are you allowed to save a non-Jew's life on shabbos? @DoubleAA IIRC its based around the ideas of "kol hakavu'a kimechtza al mechtza" and "kol deparish meruba parish." EDIT: See Rambam Shabbat 2:21
Jun 12	comment	Why is the Sefer Shmuel called Shmuel? Bear in mind that (IIRC) the Abarbanel disagrees with the gemara Bava Batra when it comes to who authored the books of tanach. I think this was discussed elsewhere on this site.
