Apr 15	answered	Does anyone know where one can buy a hebrewbooks harddrive?
Apr 15	comment	Does anyone know where one can buy a hebrewbooks harddrive? If the site doesn't sell it, it may be in violation of their terms of service to do so. Have you looked in to Bar Ilan?
Apr 15	comment	Where can I find a list of differences between the Aleppo Codex and Ashkenazi texts? Be more specific about which codex you're trying to compare the Aleppo codex to.
Apr 15	comment	If someone has BO and can't smell themselves, may they say blessings? Why would this be a problem?
Apr 15	accepted	What is the purpose of the doubled lines at the end of hallel?
Apr 15	comment	Did the Rambam believe in magic? See my answer, in this circumstance it's not necessary to have a a literal understanding of magic for the halachos. I'd have to see specific examples to say further with certainty, but I have no doubt that halachos would not be a deterrent.

Apr 15	comment	Matzah the entire week I have a theory that if you keep gebrokts (no wet matzos) you get the side benefit of having all your matza be in line with this kiyum. Wet or flavored matzos aren't kosher for the mitzva IIRC.
Apr 15	comment	Selling Seforim to Gentiles Online Awesome. Somehow I feel that people who would take crowd sourced halakhic opinions aren't going to be deterred by an acronym though. :)
Apr 15	answered	Did the Rambam believe in magic?
Apr 15	comment	Did the Rambam believe in magic? This is a big stretch IMO :\ Rambam was not afraid to allegorize or refuse literal interpretations of Tanakh.
Apr 15	comment	Selling Seforim to Gentiles Online What's with the 'cylor' thing?
Apr 12	comment	“Motzi Matzah” or “Motzi and Matzah” (separately)? Passover Seder Why the downvotes?
Apr 11	answered	“Motzi Matzah” or “Motzi and Matzah” (separately)? Passover Seder
Apr 11	accepted	Root of the name Aharon
Apr 10	asked	What is the halachic source for the minhagim of mourning during Sefira?
Apr 9	suggested	suggested edit on Theology on evolution from khan academy
Apr 9	comment	Theology on evolution from khan academy This sounds like you're asking how to rectify the Genesis creation story with evolution, which would be a dupe of judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/30/berieshit-vs-science

Apr 9	comment	Chabad custom of not allowing water to touch matzah on Pesach Nice! I find it historically interesting how he discusses the proliferation of a faster and more haphazard baking process 'within the past 20 years' which caused the flour to remain on the matzos.
