comment 100% Polyester or Silk suits requiring checking
@Danny Schoemann, I will go and pick up a book myself, but I think it wise that you inform, when answering a question, if you are giving your opinion or the Halacha, especially when you depict yourself as an authority on the matter.

why is the thread for sewing the button considered under the issur, I would think that maybe since it does not cloth you and therefor does not count.

I did not say he doesn't know what he is taking about, i just think the the writer gives a stronger argument on the subject.

comment Problems with the kashrut of todays machine matzot
I do agree with that, but I there is a difference between very hot and hardly hot at all. I made Taymani (soft) Matzot Yesterday with Rav Machpood. I measured the temperature at 600 at the center of the furnace and at 230-400C on the sides of the furnace where we stuck the matzot to bake. Read the article above. I would be happy to discuss further once you know what I am talking about.

comment Problems with the kashrut of todays machine matzot
Thank you for your reply but it is not sufficient. The writers of the article show that when the temperature rises it no longer takes 15 to become chometz, furthermore, he brings sources to show that we cannot trust the kula of saying that so long s it is in the oven it cannot become chamez, since those sources speak of very hot ovens (temperatures above libun chamor - over 420C) in which that is true because the whole matzza is baked extremely quiclly, even in the folds. I note also that we cannot count on those old sources when dealing with different kind of ovens.

comment Why is it that there's NO mention in the entire Torah (including Tanach) considering the Brain (Moach) as the source for thought?
Don't see why it would, the torah does no busy itself with describing all aspects of the human condition. What situation in the Tanach would you expect in to be mentioned in.

comment Why does the Torah forbid interest only on loans to Jews?
It is considered Lifnim Meshura hadin (beyond the letter of the law), like Hashavat aveidah (returning that which has been lost). since it is beyond the letter of the law, the obligation only applies to our brethren - the Jews.

comment Is the angel named uriel or oriel
I'm sorry but that is by definition not an answer. As I specifically stated in the question, it is unclear which is correct from the sources and therefor I would like a source that discusses this issue, not a restatement of what I have already asked. Thanks anyway for the sources.

comment Is the angel named uriel or oriel
Thank you, but you have not answered the question, I know that uriel is mentioned in the tanch, but that does not help us understand who the angel is that we refer to as he who goes before us. There are many siders who have oriel for Tefilas HaDerech and Kriyas Shema
