What if there is no object for use in a mitzva? What's the difference between lulav without a lulav and the tamid offering without a Temple? |

Yom tov kiddush tune @Shalom if that's supposed to be the Akdamut tune, I know it. I couldn't tell with all the "embellishments" |

Yom tov kiddush tune Can you find a less embellished version? It's hard for me to get the tune with all the chazanut. |

Tefillin on top of a wig if someone can only wear Tefillin once a day This is a really good question for this forum but for practical advice (esp. since it seems like a specific case and one that involves some very personal issues) please see your rabbi. He'll likely be more sensitive to the situation as a whole. |

Why G-d had to confuse people's languages in the land of Shinar? @Maxood Although it would have been a never-ending project, it was not to reach G-d, but to supplant G-d. Look at the wikipedia page under Midrash to see how our tradition tends to interpret it. |

Use of a commoner's talis to read the Torah on Is the following another valid translation? "Do not use for holy purposes garments that we use for common purposes." |

The blessing for 600,000 Jews I remember once (around 2006) there was a rally (maybe pro-Israel?) on the Mall in DC and they were estimating and trying to get to 600k, but fell short. |

Can a gentile break shabbos only on a Rabbinic level? is it d'oraita that a non-Jew cannot keep shabbos or is that d'rabbanan? |

spitting in aleinu leshabeach I wonder if you can find a source for this that's older than 1300 when the apostate Jew told Christians that וריק has the same gematria as Yushka. |
