When do rabbinic enactments apply if the given reason no longer does? @DoubleAA, I don't think its that clear cut either. If you had a real safek, you wouldn't do melacha, but I'm not sure how you would daven and you might wear tefillin. I think most hold there was also some kind of takana before they knew the day, and that it may have continued because of 'minhag avoseichem'. |

When do rabbinic enactments apply if the given reason no longer does? Right, but it's like a regular gzeira which doesn't end, since it's not based on an external cheshash. R. Moshe discusses a couple of examples in his teshuva, so you can see where Yom Tov Sheni would fall in. |

When do rabbinic enactments apply if the given reason no longer does? I'm not sure exactly how it is defined, but I don't think that's considered an external cheshash. The fear there was people wouldn't know the day, not that some other force would threaten them. |

Bringing wallet with benscher into bathroom It may be OK to walk in even out of pocket. Its likely modern bathrooms don't have the same halacha as bathrooms in the time of the talmud (before flush toilets, etc.) |

Why do most of the shuls in Manhattan face the wrong direction? See torahmusings.com/2012/10/orientation-during-prayer and hakirah.org/Vol%2011%20Shore.pdf |
