Time dilation and waiting between meat and milk @SethJ I didn't say that anyone does or should make that jump, but the theory seems reasonable. The P'ri Chadash (89:2) gives as the reasoning for waiting that meat particles in the mouth should have time to dislodge or dissolve. He does not suggest that it takes exactly six hours, and I doubt he meant that the time it takes varies by season. Rather, a vague range of timespans are included in the general rule to wait from one meal until the next. It is reasonable that a short day would have as much of an effect on the time until the next meal whether it was due to the season or a plane ride. |

Time dilation and waiting between meat and milk @SethJ - An example of someone who follows the P'ri Chadash? |

How does Judaism prove the existence of the life of the world to come? @sabertabatabaeeyazdi There are 14 question marks in your post, making it difficult for anyone else to decide how to edit it. Maybe you should just edit it to say, "What is the basis for the Jewish belief in the world to come?" (Wouldn't be surprised if that's a duplicate, though). |

Which kidney should you donate? @SethJ All things being equal, it is generally easier surgically to take the left kidney, as it has a longer renal vein and the liver is farther away from the surgical area. If the kidneys have unequal function, however, the donor generally keeps the better one. |

What happens to the soul when dozing for a minute or ten? @Izzy "What's considered dozing? Rav Ashi said: Asleep but not asleep, awake but not awake. Such that if you call to him he will respond, but can't give a thoughtful response, and if he is reminded (what he heard) when he was dozing, he can recall it." My point is that is is not the same thing as regular sleep. |

Which kidney should you donate? @ba First based on Yalkut Shim'oni on וזאת הברכה, second from Shabbos 103a. Those quotes are off topic, with possible (if questionable) relevance. Just having some fun, basically. |

Which kidney should you donate? @ba Perhaps ואסיקנא לימינו של הקב"ה שהוא שמאל דידיה ? :) Not to mention באטר יד תהוי שמאל דידיה כימין דכולי עלמא. And +1 on the comment, btw. |

Why did the Baba Sali leave Yavneh? @DoubleAA When hearing suspicious gedolim stories of unknown provenance, it's good to consider the possibility that they are apochryphal. If so, the stories probably reflect the values of the people who developed them rather than those of the gadol in question. Nonetheless, I seem to recall other cases of talmidei chachamim feeling that they could not live in the same town, so I wouldn't reject this story out of hand. |

Is one a heretic if he does not believe in Kabbalah? Re. #1, you are muddling being a heretic and being "deemed a heretic." If you are in fact suggesting that being a halachic heretic is good under some circumstances, how is your answer suitable for this site? |

The mishna says carrying in an unusual way is permitted but we apparently don't follow that; what changed? @Shalom It's interesting that you chose hotza'ah as your example; it may be the least straightforward application of chatzi shiur among all the melachos. See, for example, the discussion in Shu"t Be'er Yitzchak (OC 15:6), who argues that carrying less then a grogeres birshus harabim is only rabbinic, unlike chatzi shiur for other melachos (which is might still be d'oraysa). Still a helpful comment, though. +1. |

May one learn from a heretic? Continue reading down 15b; it discusses whether or not what R' Meir did was appropriate. Varying answers there carry different implications for the rest of us. |

The mishna says carrying in an unusual way is permitted but we apparently don't follow that; what changed? "...but still forbidden [rabbinically]": Incidentally, this may only apply to halachic aspects that are unique to Shabbos. Chatzi shiur of melacha on Shabbos, while patur, is nevertheless a Torah prohibition according to some opinions. |
