The origins of davening 1. Does correspond mean come from, or they are related? 2. What is the source for frequent prayer? It would perhaps seem from the beginning of Shumel that people prayed in the mishcan area, and when they felt a great need (like shimshon at the end of his life, or his parents to have a kid) 3. Given that torah reading is not strictly davening, did they pray there, or just hear the torah being read (Why assume they did more)? |

When does one stay up all night? I don't really know (I don't have a copy of the sefer), I've just heard of the minhag and the looked online for sources. (theyeshivaworld.com/weekly_torah.php?id=28) |

Is one obligated to believe a fellow jew? How is that not a contradiction (assuming you meant no chance to the second two, and Alex says yes to the last one? |

Is one obligated to believe a fellow jew? I realize this might sound stupid, but it would seem to me that putting off giving is the same as not giving and would also violate the lo ta'aseh. |

“Safe” Foods in Non-Mehadrin Situations I believe that the source for bourbon is that it is always made in new casks, and it has no problems with yaiin nesech as it is not a grape product. (kashrut.com/articles/liquor2) I do not know where this shows up in any halachik work though. |

“Safe” Foods in Non-Mehadrin Situations Apologies, I should have written plain beer as opposed to non-plain. I should also have been more careful about my phrasing with the milk. Apologies. |

Why does parshat bamidbar repeat census information? And we also find out the leaders of each tribe when they bring their korbanot... |

Redistribution of refuge cities after expansion I am inclined to say yes it does, but still, all six were built/designated/sanctified at the same time. There is also a perush somewhere that says that in the times of mashiach there will be another three cities. Perhaps this is where he gets that idea. I am very sure that in the times of king david's conquest, where the kingdom expanded greatly, they did not move the cities. I also seem to recall a gemara in macot (sorry don't remember where) that talks about that it means that they were meshulash, and where they were. It does not seem to be a geographic or exact positioning though. |

Redistribution of refuge cities after expansion I am not sure, but I think that we learn that the mitzvah of setting up the ari miklat did not actually take place until the land was conquered in its entirety, and there was no movement of the original cities. |

Where and when is the earliest attestation of the word “mohel”? I agree, though am not sure. Unless it means the word מוהל and not its other forms? |

Why is there a ה in “מוהל”? @WAF @msh210 you are assuming that mohel is or Hebrew origin, and that it shares the same shoresh as לימול. That is not necessarily the case. |

Why is there a ה in “מוהל”? Had you looked down the page, it makes mention of "Aramaic מְהַל" which is where I believe the "he" comes from. With regards to the shoresh of the word, I can just tell you what I found, and it makes sense. |

Why don't we count the omer with a bracha during the day? @jake: Apologies, but if there is that original safek, why do we say a bracha on any but the first night? |

Why don't we count the omer with a bracha during the day? @jake: I think thats backwards. you need both sfekas to be in your favor. you need both for it to be 49 mitzvot AND for it to it to be allowed at night. in that case for sure we would not make a bracha... |

Why don't we count the omer with a bracha during the day? If there is an opinion that says it not good, then why would we continue counting with a bracha afterwards? |
