comment Why is there a difference of opinion about whether modern magic is prohibited or permitted?
@sam, magic has nothing to do with swiftness. That's only what magicians tell their audience - "the hand is quicker than the eye". Magicians are really no quicker than non-magicians. Magicians use only psychology plus sometimes dexterity to fool their audience.

comment Why doesn't a ben niddah acquire the status of a mamzer?
It's definitely not true that the offspring of a Kohen and divorcee are mamzerim. There's no chaiv kares in the relationship. The marriage is a real marriage, but they are required to get divorced. This is a mishnah in Kesuvos.

comment Why do Sephardic Jews dress in black and white?
I'm guessing that it's probably a simple function of economics. The attire of Litvish Haredi in Israel is much cheaper (and mass-produced) than what the Sephardic Jews used to wear (which was hand-made).

comment Bracha on Smoking
Just as we say "L'chaim" on alcohol, we should also say "L'mavet" on a cigarette.
