I don't know all the answers I give off the top of my head. Many of them I search for online or use an index.

How to get drunk on Purim and still pray? It might also be possible to pray at sunrise, hearing the megilah, and then send the gifts and charity, and eat immediately afterwards (to fulfill the Mishnah Brurah's advice to have the meal early) and sleep until Minchah Ketanah. Though this is probably impractical for most people. |

Was Shlomo Molcho a great kabbalist or a false messiah? Actually, I just happened to find this: hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=4971&st=&pgnum=12 (15 lines from the start of the new paragraph) |

hat and jacket during davening @ShmuelL A collection of stories arranged in the order of the Parshas HaShavua by Rabbi Yitzchak Zilberstein. I've heard that it's known for exaggeration. (link) |

Haman was Basar b’Chalav, so how could we eat him? Is "הוא נברא מספר" an abbreviation brought elsewhere or did you invent if for the purpose of this drashah? (A Google search turns up no results.) |

Beginners' Seder Advice See the first two pages of this pdf: stevens.edu/golem/llevine/rsrh/r_schwab_haggadah.pdf. Also, The Little Midrash Says is a helpful hagadah for this purpose. |

Does “foreign religious obligation” = “Takruvas Avodah Zarah”? I heard that there's a rabbi who goes to Jews for Jesus sermons and asks the lecturer in public for something he's carrying based on this verse. (I don't know who this rabbi is.) |

Historical account of Jewish worship via the graves of saints and Prophets @Ali I said that if there are any accounts, it was a transgressor. Off the top of my head I can recall of no incident, and I doubt that such a minor thing would be recorded. |

Laws of “Shehiyah” relating to a “Chayah” @DoubleAA 1. In my experience it has been used that way. I think I remember specifically an example by the Mechaber himself in the laws of excrement in the laws of Shema (I didn't check for it). 2. The author of the question himself says so. If you want, I can read through the chapter, but I think I can trust Yehoshua on that. |

What was the attitude of Rabbonim regarding Purim Torah? It occurred to me that it didn't specify what was banned so the whole first paragraph doesn't make sense |
