Primacy of Rash"i That was Ramba"n. |

Widespread American Minhag I only had the US in mind. But I'm sure a question about Chutz La'Aretz in general could be interesting. |

Widespread American Minhag @yydl The same Avudraham who brings down that reason brings down the completely unrelated (apparently legal) reason that it's a "step down" from k'ri'as haTorah to the d'rasha that does not constitute a hefsek in davening. |

What is the most widespread Israeli Minhag? Do you mean exclusive use of that name, or just having one that can be used for an aliya or a get? |

Why is the test (Nisayon) of Kivshan Haish not mentioned in the Torah? Wow. That was a serious typo. Thanks. |

Widespread American Minhag You mean the aspect of the "seder" that is exactly 15 rhyming steps long? Many parts of it, after all, are mitzvos. |

Widespread American Minhag It's not necessarily the majority of U.S. Jews who are the significant sample here. It's the largest set of U.S. Jews adhering to the same minhag. There must be better statistical terminology to describe this distinction. |

Rav Scheinberg and Tzitzis (series of questions) Thanks. I have edited the question (for some reason) to reflect this fact. |

Under what conditions may one leave Eretz Yisroel? I believe Rav Aharon Lichtenstein substantially answers this question and the parent question in this article: etzion.org.il/dk/1to899/874mamar.htm |

Riddle: Which fast do people fast on different days? Was Kislev usually 30 days back then too? |

Does the rebbetzin (rabbi's wife) have a special seat in the ezras nashim (women's side of the synagogue)? Was the sign there during her lifetime as well? |

Rushing through the end of הלל "It could also be that you are always a little slower than the chazzan/congregation," - Then perhaps you have the answer to this question: mi.yodeya.com/questions/190/… |

G'dolim or Rabbis Owning Pets I cannot claim to know. It came from the same place from which all of my questions (and some of my answers!) come. |

G'dolim or Rabbis Owning Pets Can you cite one or two? |

G'dolim or Rabbis Owning Pets I'm guessing if that were really his cat it would be documented somewhere. |

Is it “mechayei meisim UHTTuh” or “mechayeh meisim atTUH” (rav lehoshia) in shmoneh esrei? Maybe it has to do with whether the next phrase "rav l'hoshi'a" is a continuation of this one or not. For what it's worth, a bunch of the ראשונים, including אבודרהם, have them as apparently separate phrases. But I'm just guessing. |
