Aug 2	comment	Is the brochah made on gum for the base or the flavoring? judaism.stackexchange.com/a/6788/1172
Aug 2	comment	Is the brochah made on gum for the base or the flavoring? @WAF if "garon" literally meant throat, you could pretty much never be hayav for something because it is a beriya-it usually wouldn't be whole by the time it gets to your throat.
Aug 2	comment	Eating meat: when do the 6 hours start? If its based on when you start eating, if you have a seven hour meal may you eat basar bechalav during that seventh hour? Or can you eat them consecutively just not together? Does it matter if its "derekh bishul"?
Aug 2	comment	Is the brochah made on gum for the base or the flavoring? Yabia Omer O"C vol. 7. I'd post it if I had access, but I'm sure you're plenty capable of looking it up yourself. Its around the 20's (simanim-wise), addressed to his son R. Yitzchak.
Jun 19	comment	Can you fold a tallis on Shabbos? @DoubleAA the Hebrew clearly says talitoteyhem- why change it? Sometimes I feel like "proper yiddish" is code for "grammarless hebrew"
Jun 19	comment	bicycle on Shabbat? I know people who, as advised by the rabbi, stopped driving to bet kinesset on shabbat and took up biking instead.
Jun 19	comment	Definition of Leitzanus Try Avot 3:3
Jun 19	comment	Best practices for praying in public with talit and tefilin R David Yosef in Halacha Berura has a great suggestion for not freaking out non-Jews with your tefillin: cover them with your talit! (He *really* lives in E Israel!)
Jun 18	comment	Preparing to learn daf yomi Yerushalmi How many times have you finished Bavli, vram?
Jun 18	comment	Does bagged lettuce need a hechsher? When does the Aruch Hashulchan apply? I've heard that when an infestation is found, its pretty obvious- but they're only found in certain harvests. Does that mean that lettuce overall has no obvious infestation?
Jun 18	comment	Can an Alien convert to Judaism? @sam your source for this statement is...?
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	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.
