Am I liable to be stoned for my devotion to Hashem and the Jewish people? Also, 'liable to death' is an expression used for certain sins, but it doesn't mean there's any punishment from human courts. |

Am I liable to be stoned for my devotion to Hashem and the Jewish people? It doesn't apply to someone learning because he's interested in conversion. And it doesn't apply to all areas of Torah. |

Is deodorant allowed on Yom Kippur? I heard from R. M. Willig that it is forbidden on both, though some disagree. |

Learning secular topics for parnassah This quote doesn't address the question of what extent one may study secular studies for parnassah. |

“Silk-Screened” Sifrei Torah So m'safek, cannot use it shul. Though I wonder if it might be a good idea for to commission one for himself to be yotzei the mitzvah of writing a torah. |

“Silk-Screened” Sifrei Torah OK, but R. Bleich feels that R. Abadi's argument is not convincing enough, so they do not have enough proof to justify an entirely new practice. |

Does one need to perform a delayed brit milah at the first possible time? See Bereishis 17, Kiddushin 29. The count of the mitzvah isn't really relevant. The mitzvah is initially on the father without any chiyuv karet, but then falls to the son when he becomes older with a chiyuv karet. See Rambam Milah 1:1 who states this explicitly. (Commentators there cite Yevamos 70b and Shabbos 133a as sources for this.) |

Does one need to perform a delayed brit milah at the first possible time? @doubleAA, i'm not sure what ur saying. a minor is not obligated in mitzvos, (prob.) cannot make a shliach, and 4 sure cannot get punishments, never-mind a baby! the father does milah on his son because it is 1 of the mitzvos of the father on a son, but it doesn't mean there's a chayiv karet on him. |

Does one need to perform a delayed brit milah at the first possible time? Mitzvot do not apply to a baby, the only question is the chiyuv of the father. Though maybe the chiyuv of milah on one's son is comparably serious, even if there's no karet for not doing it. |
