The Manna and non kosher taste I would think that the manna began to fall before the laws of kosher animals were given to the people. So the question becomes: Would it not taste like pork even though at the time pork was not technically prohibited? And if it could, did it change once the laws were given? |

Rav ovadia Yosef mishna berura @EfraimMatityahu, You can see here a list of all R' Ovadiah's writings and the writings based on his teachings. There is nothing formally called "Mishna Berura". There is "Yalkut Yosef" mentioned above, there is "Halachah Berura", which you mentioned in the question, and there is "Livyat Chen", which is apparently on Hilchot Shabbat with a focus on the Mishna Berura. |

Is there a tradition to pronounce kamatz katan as “a”? I think it's just an effect of Modern Israeli Hebrew. |

Good Talmudic Grammar resource for one unfamiliar with grammar in general? I don't know if this would be useful, but as far as Biblical Hebrew grammar goes, a great reference book is Ben-Zeev's "Talmud Lashon Ivri". It's a bit old, but in my opinion, still the best I've seen. You're not going to get any understanding of the English terminology, but the Hebrew jargon (like poel yotzei) is all there. |

Earliest documentation of kissing @DoubleAA, Now that I look at it inside, it seems pretty obvious that Yaakov is kissing Yitzchak, as per the previous verse: "וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יִצְחָק אָבִיו גְּשָׁה-נָּא וּשְׁקָה-לִּי בְּנִי". |

Earliest documentation of kissing Wait... Yaakov kissed Yitzchak? I always thought this meant Yitzchak kissed Yaakov. |

Can God destroy Himself? @DoubleAA, Didn't this argument occur already with Menachem here? As illogical as the assumption of logic being a human construct is, it's not really possible to disprove without using logic which is apparently futile. Best to just say "I like ponies" and be done with it. |

Is God active or passive? Passive as in He knows everything that's going on, but doesn't do anything about it, or passive as in totally unaware of what's going on? |

Source for starting one limmud after finishing another Maybe, but don't you think it would then be more appropriate after finishing a masechta to begin again with the beginning of the same masechta? When we do it on Simchas Torah, we're starting over again what we just finished. Same is the custom at the Siyum HaShas. But this question is about starting the following limmud immediately after finishing the previous one. |

Chopping items makes them Kitniyoth? @IsaacMoses, Not to worry. It's only chopped toasted walnuts which are deemed kitniyot by this recipe. But I wouldn't be surprised if walnuts are excluded from all manufactured products just in case you should decide to apply heat to and/or apply a chopping or chopping-like procedure upon the product. |

Chopping items makes them Kitniyoth? Maybe he's confusing walnuts with peanuts, which some people are machmir not to eat. |

Chopping items makes them Kitniyoth? It likely is referring to the walnuts themselves, not the fact that they are chopped. But it's still strange, as walnuts are not kitniyot (as far as I know). |
