Christian believe in the Noahide Laws, will they end up in heaven? @ba I am reading the second answer, and it seems like there's certainly no consensus on this. The only supports offered are from one rav (and as msh210 points out there, it's not necessarily an actual psak). The rest are conjecture from the MiYodean based on a singular understanding of who is forbidden to learn Torah (the MiYodean seems to hold that only ovdei zarah cannot be taught Torah, but many hold that non-Jews b'klal may not be taught Torah). |

Christian believe in the Noahide Laws, will they end up in heaven? @ba if modern authorities actually thought Christianity was avodah zarah, we'd have all sorts of problems - e.g., no business within 3 days of any Sunday... |

Why do some Jews get married at night? Just FYI in case there's a misunderstanding, Jews get married both in the day and at night. |

Is Reconstructionist Judaism essentially atheistic? That's far from the entirity of Reconstructionist thought and is worded rather offensively (that Reconstructionists think others use the concept of G-d exclusively to manipulate people is ridiculous). I really think this question will not get a decent answer here as it's largely an Orthodox crowd, but I suggest reading keddem.org/foot/99-06.html |

Borer and Grinding on Yom Tov - and other Melachoth that are Ochel Nefesh I think grinding comes from healing (making a poultice), not from cooking. Since healing is still prohibited on yontiv, you cannot grind on yontiv. Borer, however, comes from cooking (sorting bad from good grains), so it is permitted. |

Request to see HaShem's vengeance my guess is that "let us see" is equivalent to "within our days" |

Dedicating a Mitzva to unborn child This isn't something i'd do (we are due in a week, G-d-willing), but i don't know if we poskin from the ayin hara. (PS, your fetus definitely has a sex by now, you just don't know it and b'sha'ah tovah) |

Can Jews eat non-Kosher meat? @SethJ meat that hasn't been certified as kosher can absolutely be kosher. There were generations of Jews who had no certification whatsoever and did just fine cuz they trusted Shlomy the shochet and Moishe the butcher.... Nowadays that's trickier, so the general answer, Mahalia, is still no. |

What's so moving about Kol Nidrei And more than anything else, it's the liturgical statement that indicates Yom Kippur is here. |
