Naming after the Patriarchs/Matriarchs and Biblical heroes highly related (but the inverse): judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/3252/… |

Responding to “that's not a Jewish name” That sort of question itself is not an appropriate Jewish question. "My father's family is from Italy" seems like a reasonable answer to me. |

If a non-jew steals is he liable to the death penalty? Who is "he"? A Jew? A non-Jew? Also, by "obligated to die" do you mean "liable for the death penalty" or do you mean actually obligated (positive mitzvah) to kill himself/be killed? |

Can a single-parent father be exempt from time-bound mitzvot? @meir I think this post would be better (and less controversial) if it didn't focus on reasons that women aren't obligated to daven and instead answered the question about whether single-parent men must daven, ideally citing sources that back up that answer. |

What steps are required to make aliyah to Israel? No offense to the poster, but how is this not off-topic? |

What is so special about the 613 mitzvos? @shlomo I'm confused how a mitvah can be d'oraita and not one of the 613 d'oraita mitzvot. Can you say specifically what you're talking about before asking for a general case? |

If a Jew visits a mosque and offers a prayer to “Allah”, which commandments are being violated? This looks like dupe of judaism.stackexchange.com/q/26328/759 |

Can I prevent trespass through (for example) my garden? Does it matter if your property is in Israel? |

Counting the omer with doubt before the fixed calendar @DoubleAA if by "looking at a calendar" you mean "counting to 50" since neither Iyar nor Nisan were fixed. I guess at least someone counted, but not in a sefirah-related way. |

Counting the omer with doubt before the fixed calendar So if they didn't count, how did they know when Shavuot was? |

Counting the omer with doubt before the fixed calendar So.... you are assuming the count cannot be corrected once it is started? And then the communities in chu"l (before the fixed calendar) might celebrate Shavuot starting on an earlier day? (see judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/27947/…) |

Counting the omer with doubt before the fixed calendar @DoubleAA You're right. I hadn't thought of that! Though technically, I'd remove Iyar - Shavuot is calculated from 1 Nisan, not from 1 Sivan, so the length of Iyar is irrelevant. And if you include Tammuz, why not Cheshvan? |

Counting the omer with doubt before the fixed calendar @DoubleAA my calendar calculus might be off, so please correct any errors. |

Counting the omer with doubt before the fixed calendar @DoubleAA If the halakha is that counting the omer must be in order and without safek, and we must start counting the day after the [first] seder, then in a 30-day Adar year, we end up with communities in chu"l starting sefirah on [what they will soon learn was] 15 Nisan, while communities in Israel started counting on 16 Nisan. Then chu"l communities would start Shavuot a day earlier than Israel. |
