what is the source suggesting that blasphemous sentences are exempted in distressing situations? Hello buberfanboy and welcome to mi.yodeya! Could you provide any more information on the context in which you heard about this exemption or the statement in question? I look forward to seeing you around the site! |

Where and when is the earliest attestation of the word “mohel”? Is there conventional agreement on when Tosefta was written? There seems to be a wide range of opinions. |

Can I cause a Melacha to happen in a place where Shabbat has already started? @Ariel Nobody said it would be easy. . . My question was just whether a theoretical analog exists. |

Why are Chazal asking if words are spelled with א or ע? "Wasn't ayin vocalized[sic] at that time?" - I don't think the pronunciation of "ayin" is dependent as much on time as it is on location. |

May a Jew be a Freemason? I don't know anything about it, but based on that quotation alone, couldn't it still be that membership in freemasonhood entails Christianity or some other religion even if it is not one? |

Does “ki” have four meanings or one? @ShimonbM I didn't interpret it as such! Thanks for the recommendation. I would guess it addresses my question directly, as it is a syntagmatic and paradigmatic approach. |
