If the last day of Passover is Friday, may I eat chametz on the Shabbat right after? I like this answer most. Short, sweet and to the point. As to @jake's question about muktze, see my comment there. IMO if the non-Jew bought a kosher challah before Pesach and froze it, then the moment Pesach departs, the challah is no longer muktze, so if he invites you to join him for a meal, you can accept, and you don't have to make a kinyan on food that your host offers you, so there's no issue there, either. |

If the last day of Passover is Friday, may I eat chametz on the Shabbat right after? @jake - Muktzeh ends the moment the yom tov ends. The fact that we treat bein hashmashos lechumra in both directions is only because we're not expert enough to judge the exact moment when Yom Tov ends and Shabbos begins, but it would seem to me that at that very moment, whenever it is, the muktzeh-ness of the chometz disappears, and it turns out that when shabbos came in the chometz was not muktzeh. So if a non-Jew bought some kosher challos before Pesach and froze them, then invited you over on shabbos to eat with him, I can't see what would be wrong with that? |

If the last day of Passover is Friday, may I eat chametz on the Shabbat right after? @DoubleAA - ah, I missed the subtlety there (wheat vs flour). Nevertheless, the intention of the question was whether or not you could eat chometz on that shabbos. Not sure if soggy wheat kernels qualify as food, and I don't think I'd particularly want to eat such a mix, even just for the novelty of being able to say "I ate chometz on the shabbos directly after Pesach!" I had a nice, fluffy Vizhnitzer challah in mind... :) |

Why is techeles not universally accepted? +1 Personally I think that almost throw-away line "... [with] the high price of Tcheiles the Rabbonim don't want to obligate the general population to purchase it," is probably the best reason I've heard so far. |

Why are angelic icons not prominent in Judaism? @JimThio - yes, but that was a Divine injunction, not something that any human chose to do for artistic purposes. |

Is a rare steak kosher? Ya, that's the way I like it. The law of eiver min hachai was put in the Torah for people who like meat the way I like it... :) |

Yichud in Elevator @yydl, I'm no posek, but I'd say ones rachmana patrei. It's unlikely enough that the elevator will get stuck, that such a situation would be considered a freak accident. |

Difference between jewish and zionist? @Yaakov - thanks for the link, but Rambam there doesn't say they cease to be Jewish. He does say that they're chayav misa, even without due judicial process - but he very tellingly states that their children remain Jewish and we should attempt to bring them closer to Torah. |

Difference between jewish and zionist? That is incorrect - a Jew who sins (including "converting" to another religion) remains a Jew. There is no halachic way to renounce your Judaism once you are Jewish. |

Difference between jewish and zionist? I think you made a typo: "and the person did not convert to another religion" should be "or the person converted from another religion". There is no halachic way to renounce your Judaism once you are Jewish, but you can become Jewish if you were born non-Jewish. |

What happened to the Jewish practice of using burial caves? Echoing @jake's comment - I find it highly unlikely that anyone would have exhumed a body to put it in a burial cave. You've got to have serious cause to exhume a body - it's called nivul hameis - desecration of the dead body. |

In the Bible, why did robbers bother tunneling into houses to rob them? They didn't have windows? |

Why is techeles not universally accepted? @Gershon - or else they're just non-conformist Litvishers who aren't afraid to go against the flow... |

Why is techeles not universally accepted? @Gershon - I know plenty "Litvishes" who do wear techeles, though some davka tuck them in. For the record, what you call "Litvish" bears absolutely no resemblance to what people in Lithuania were like, but that's for a different discussion... |
