Should a man remove his head covering during the national anthem? I don't know if this is helpful, but Rav Ruderman told my father that when the students of Slobodka Yeshiva were sent to see a doctor they were instructed by the Alter, Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel that upon encountering the doctor they should remove even their Kappalach (Yarlmukas) out of respect. |

Understanding Shabsai Tzvi I addressed the issue of whether being in control of one's faculties is equted with sanity in the comments on my answer. In short: He had a history of mental illness and he had the strong encouragement, if not pressure, from Moslem officials and clerics to convert Jews. if he had started out normal then I would be in total agreement with you. Because he did not start out normal I leave whether Hashem judged him as a Rasha in Hashem's hands. |

Understanding Shabsai Tzvi @Seth J , I'm around once in a while. I did not write that claiming mitzvos as not applicable anymore is not bad. I was merely correcting SimchasTorah's claim in the spirit of historical accuracy. |

Did Yitzchak not Fulfill the Mitzvah of “Be Fruitful and Multiply”? I"M is not the non-standard explanation. It is very standard. You can't have an obligation to do something that is not within your control. The mitzvah is the act that brings about the resulting peiros. That act is also the fulfillment of the mitzvah of Ona. Once one has had a boy and a girl, the obligation to do that act has been mitigated to a degree by the fact that one goal of that act has been accomplished. |

Bracha for Quinoa The word "corn" was used for all types of grain. In Ireland it meant rye, in Germany it just meant grain. |
