Milchig / Fleishig Arrangement I have heard that Rav J.B. Soloveitchik used one sink without a rack while his wife was away, and the next day taught his class how. I cannot prove this however. I believe it simply involved cold water and soap. |

Kashering pot from meat to dairy/parev? @msh210 The Rema explicitly permits the same. I have heard from a contemporary rabbi (of me, not of the Rema) that this can be done today. It seems to be a minority opinion nowadays. |

Shabbos Breishis @yydl a rav once told me that on Simchat Torah & Shavuot he is extra inspired to review the parsha. But Bereishit can be a short week (until Simchat Torah, the parsha is v'zot habracha), so it can be very challenging. The parsha after Shavuot is often (not always) Naso, which is very long. So it is challenging to study the parsha at these times. |

Raw fish on Shabbos It did not address the muktza issue, but there was an article in the Journal of Halacha & Contemporary Society on the preparation of sushi on shabbat. The article concludes that producing a well constructed maki roll constitutes boneh, and is therefore prohibited. I cannot disagree more. |

Swimming Alone in a Pool One shouldn't sleep alone in a room? What if you are single, or your spouse is away over night, to say nothing of people who have their own room in all kinds of other circumstances? |

Does cooking kitniyot in a pot render it non-kosher-for-Passover for Ashkenazic Jews? If so, why? @Yahu @gershon gold From this debate it is evident that kitniyot is a davar charif. (This is in jest in case anyone didn't realize) |

Is a rare steak kosher? I have found unsalted meat in a kosher butcher shop. It was so unusual I made a point of buying it, and then soaking and salting it myself. But I'd agree that most meat sold kosher in America is soaked and salted in advance. |

Are there different shitos for when fasts end? What are they? Namely R' Tukachinsky permits breaking the fact earlier, and Rav Moshe Feinstein presents two opinions, one for those who find fasting difficult and another for those who do not. |

Why is the Boro Park eiruv controversial? I would have said "what's the status of..." but it seems to ask if the eruv is up or not. Perhaps "what's the story behind the controversy over..." Is that too long? Or "Why is the boro park eiruv controversial"? |
