Halachic extension of the Giving of the Torah and marriage analogy My understanding (no source, sorry) is that even if a rapist's wife commits adultery, he is not permitted to divorce her. |

When did the Kanievsky family switch from Chasidic to Litvish? @SethJ in what way does common knowledge answer this specific question? |

When did the Kanievsky family switch from Chasidic to Litvish? @DoubleAA if you have a source that the basis for the switch was to return to the older minhag, by all means bring it. That would certainly be a possible answer. |

What is the meaning of this painting? The sheep is saying "baa". I can't even tell what the top rightmost letter is supposed to be. I would guess that this was not written by one familiar with Hebrew |

May one make a siyum on a day he is fasting? If one can make a siyum on taanis bechorim wouldn't it be kal v'chomer that one could do it on a personal fast? |

Source? The day you were born was the day Gd decided the universe could no longer exist without you It is Rebbe Nachman of Breslev zy'a, from an oral tradition. I'll try to find if it's written somewhere. It is most likely in connection with Likutey Moharan I 5, which is based on the Mishnah @AvrohomYitzchok brings below. |

Rabbis giving conflicting opinions? @DoubleAA maybe just "true" is better than "correct", as the latter implies they are all given equal credence in practical application? |

Rabbis giving conflicting opinions? As per @DoubleAA's answer, yes - and they're (almost) all correct opinions. |

How could different pronunciations arise when we are obligated to pronounce the Shema precisely? @DoubleAA it seems to me that even a subtle change would evoke a chorus of "no, no, it's Shemaaaaaannnnng". |

Why is the Talmudic style so Confusing? Since they are evidently not, I will edit my answer, though I would prefer succinctness, personally. |
