Why do people call cancer the machalah? I'm not sure what community you live in but in Anglo-Charedi communities in Israel it seems fairly common. |

When did Matza become dry? "It's pretty commonly accepted that Matza used to be soft" Source? |

Better for Man to Not have Been Created Also see the Maharsha on Makos 23b. He gives a lengthy explanation of this gemara (braysah) in Eiruvin while explaining the gemarah in Makos. I have not written it as an answer because I do not feel like I fully grasp what he is saying but maybe you will be zoche. |

Are there cases of a one-time (extreme) punishment that rabbis meted for the sake of a community's commitment to Torah? The tshuva of the Rosh is on page 69 (point #58) in the book that you linked. Thanks! |

Is there a book with well sourced “discussions” on hilchos lashon hara? Thank you. I went to his house today and bought the book from him. |

Has a gadol be'Torah ever drastically changed his type of avodas Hashem? @Isaac I mainly would like to know in order to research the precise premises upon which someone (who already operates with an enormous amount of Torah premises) would decide that what he has been doing up until a certain point was not (completely) correct. |

Does the president of the USA have free will? @Charles Koppelman Got it,I understand your point now. I'm not looking for a justification (as I said in my post we [could] have a chiyuv of hishtadlus regardless of the mechanics of how free will plays out in this case.) |

Does the president of the USA have free will? I think that I understand your point. However I could argue that according to Rav Desslers famous explanation of the "point of free will" (i.e. that your ability to make a real bechira choice exists only at a certain point and everything easier or harder is not in your realm of choice) Hashem hardened Paroh's heart in order to keep him from choosing the easy option of not letting Bnei Yisrael go (or to keep him from choosing at all) in order for Yetzias Mitzrayim to happen the way it did. This might have been a one time occurrence for a very specific goal. |

Tefilin - broke left middle finger, and it's now splinted Thank you for the link to the TMY @YDK I read the tshuva and you're right he is talking about a hefsek between the brochas however I'm not sure that I agree that there's "no requirement". In the sentence that starts "וצ"ע לענ"ד אם יקדים" he refers to the "mitzvas keshira". Also the machlokes rishonim (Rambam/Rif vs Tur/Rosh) ends up being do you need to wrap the arm and the finger or just the arm. Also the title to his question is "when to make the bracha and what is the keshira. It seems like it is more than just hefsek bracha... Please let me know how you understand this! |

Drawing with ink on your skin @DoubleAA I agree that it does, however I saw from people's answers there that all they took it to mean was fake tattoos and henna. The answers people gave here is closer to what I'm looking for. |

Drawing with ink on your skin @DoubleAA I think the question was about tattoos, I am asking about drawing with ink. [There could be a difference in inks, the act of drawing (which is ironically more like tattooing then fake tattoo's), or any number of other differences.] |

Drawing with ink on your skin @DoubleAA There was mention of ink only in passing with reference to the Minchas Chinuch and it was described as "permanent ink" which seems to me to be undefined. I am also looking for sources which were not given there but have been given here. |

Drawing with ink on your skin Unless there is a distinction between 1- henna and other inks (color, permanence, ingredients...), 2- The way and context which the ink is applied or a number of other possibilities... |
