וינוחו בה\בו\בם ישראל in Shabbat shemoneh esrei — why the change? Thanks, @Michoel. That was my mistake: for some reason, I thought you (and the original question) said "mussaf" instead of "mishna". Pays to read things more carefully! |

וינוחו בה\בו\בם ישראל in Shabbat shemoneh esrei — why the change? @DoubleAA My apologies. For some reason, I read "mussaf" in the question, rather than "mincha". My bad. |

How high was migdal Bavel? Note that Ibn Ezra doesn't understand it as a valley, but as a plain. He suggests that it might have been termed a "valley" because it had mountains around it. |

וינוחו בה\בו\בם ישראל in Shabbat shemoneh esrei — why the change? Is that last part according to you or to the Rebbe? I have since checked a Tehillat Hashem and found that it records בה for erev Shabbat, and בו for both shacharit and mussaf on Shabbat. |

וינוחו בה\בו\בם ישראל in Shabbat shemoneh esrei — why the change? This is a great question, but can somebody please confirm that they have checked that it is correct? I have looked in two different siddurim, both nusach Ashkenaz, and they record בה for erev Shabbat, and בו for both shacharit and mussaf on Shabbat. |

וינוחו בה\בו\בם ישראל in Shabbat shemoneh esrei — why the change? To add to the points made above about gender, ליל is always and only ever masculine, just like לילה. |

Jewish concept of angels -1. The question asked for scriptural evidence, which you didn't provide. You also failed to bring a source for the rabbinic evidence that you did provide. If you add one, I'll remove my downvote. |

Unplugging a Phone Charger on Shabbat? I don't know, but I imagine that it would also have to do with your reasons for unplugging the charger. If it is to save electricity (which, for most people = to save money) then that's something that needs to be factored into the answer as well. |

Kabbalos Pnei Rabo If I remember correctly, the Noda BiYehuda was polemicising against hasidim when he asserted that there is no obligation to spend yontef with one's rebbe. |

Playing with non-kosher animals (By the way, the passage that he cites from the Shulchan Arukh is interesting for other reasons as well, but I think its connection to this issue is tenuous. It was evidently believed that thoughts at the moment of conception influenced the appearance of unborn children - hence Rabbi Yohanan waiting outside miqva'ot; hence Yaakov Avinu showing speckled rods to his uncle's goats; etc.) |

Playing with non-kosher animals Thank you - the footnotes there provide further sources. Unfortunately, nothing that the Lubavitcher Rebbe there writes deals with the second half of my question. If anything, it makes that second half even stronger! If it is so important, in his opinion and in the texts that he cites, to avoid showing children non-kosher animals, how might people who abstain from doing so understand the mishna in Shabbat 9:7? |

In Judaism, does God have a body? Hi, Popopo - welcome to Mi Yodeya. I've taken the liberty of editing your question a little bit, just so that it reads better in English. |
