Is Mossad Assasination allowed in Torah? @JimThio not from a Jewish perspective, no. |

Is Mossad Assasination allowed in Torah? @Sandman4 I guess it's a matter of hashkafa... Rebbe Nachman zy'a says that we should especially when it's harder to do so. I see the merit in not giving anything to the haters, but there's the possibility that through the example of Hillel we can be mekarev them. |

What is a good place to buy kabbalah seforim online? seforimbzul.com is a great and inexpensive resource for all kinds of seforim - unfortunately, the more popular items are often sold out, but they are restocked regularly. |

Why is the Lubavitch custom to have short Peoth? @HodofHod nevermind not trusting - it's halacha (Avodah Zarah 27a, Yoreh De’ah 156:1) |

Is Mossad Assasination allowed in Torah? @Sandman4 I would go ahead and do so. Even if the question was obviously asking these things subtextually (we certainly get some on here who do, but I doubt it's so in this case), we should dan lchaf zchus and only answer the questions as asked. |

Sefer similar to Yalkut Yosef for Ashkenazim Is the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch too old to fit? It's concise, thorough, and very easy to learn. |

Kissing tzitzit for full shma during “leolam yehey” I learned from my rov that when reciting Shema to be yoitze krias Shema, one should be stringent to avoid hefsek and not kiss tzitzis or after touching tefilin. I also learned that one should always add emes when reciting the full Shema. If I anyone knows a source I would post this as an answer. |

“bad impression” vs “Judge your friend favorably” I think your answer captures the essence of the question: there are two people here, one doing something that may appear to be a sin and the other observing. The former must be conscious of maris ayin and the latter must dan lchaf zchus. As you say, though, they must also rebuke... At any rate, @avi the halachos cannot contradict because they apply to two different people and are therefore not mutually exclusive actions. |

At a non-kosher restaurant, is sliced raw fish kosher? @msh210 yeah, but maybe we can assume that if the sushi chefs are so particular about the freshness and quality of their fish, kal vchomer they'll get the right species. On the other hand, maybe there's no basis to conflate the two things - there could be species nonkosher and kosher that were interchangable in terms of taste and appearance. |
