Many mamzerim today? @Daniel Isn't it wonderful that we're willing to go to such great lengths to love and include each other in klal yisrael? |

Many mamzerim today? Lo bashamayim hi. Mamzers are only what we say they are. If we define it out of existence, the class no longer exists. |

If one watches television on Friday night, will one go to hell? In addition to @DoubleAA's contention, you also gave exactly one view of the afterlife.... There are many. Some traditions do believe in a purgatory-like place, some in a hell-like place. Some in reincarnation in this world, some just in the World to Come. And the understandings of exactly what the World to Come is like are manifold. |

Is a person endangering others always* a Rodef? Also, how do you mean "target" - does that require intent? If so, neither a mosquito nor a fetus cannot be considered a rodef. |

May one have a torah aliyah during the mourning period If you're asked up for an aliyah, you can let the gabbai know that you're in mourning. They would know the shul's policies and if not, they will ask someone who does. |

Good books for non-Jews who are interested in understanding Judaism, especially branches of Orthodox judaism That's what I thought. @IsaacMoses - In light of that, how can you say that Orthodox Judaism doesn't have branches? Or that it's people just going on tradition. Seems wrong and simplistic to me. |

What is the beracha on gnocchi? according to this recipe, it's 1 c. flour for 2 lbs potatoes. It serves 6, which means each serving has 1/6 c flour. Is that enough for mezonot to be primary? |
