comment What was so good about Naamah the Ammonite?
Rashi to Yevamos 63a: רות המואביה ונעמה העמונית. יצאו מהם מלכים ונביאים נעמה אמו של רחבעם ויצא ממנה חזקיה ואסא ויהושפט דהוו צדיקים גמורים וישעיהו הנביא דאמר מר אמוץ ואמציה אחים הוו

comment How old was Avraham when he sired children with Keturah, and was that unusual?
@MonicaCellio, The reasons seem to revolve around either fulfilling the promise made to Avraham in Gen. 17:5, or emphasizing the fact that Yitzchak was his main progeny and/or the fact that Yishmael wasn't "pushed aside" because he was necessarily inferior. Another reason is to show that Avraham's milah was not a deteriorating event (by showing the other extreme).

comment What does ריש חזית mean?
@user67187, I don't know. What I'm more used to when someone starts by quoting something like this is to introduce it with a "ב" prefix as in "בריש מדרש חזית" or with "איתא ב" as in "איתא בפ"ק דערובין". I don't recall seeing this format too much, but I suppose it's not uncommon.

@msh210, Well, hopefully Hebrew.SE will start up soon, and this whole issue will become moot. Chag Sameach
