comment Receiving money for a day's work, considering it to cover a debt?
I don't know if this has any impact, but does Shimon owe Reuvan money for work Reuvan did previously, or did Reuvan loan the money to Shimon?

comment Cohanim standing on carpet by Bircas Cohanim
@DoubleAA Yehoshua, I think it's more symbolic. I've seen even a plastic table cloth used

comment Is a room with only a shower the same as a normal bathroom?
In a changing room, where people are only sometimes unclothed it would be ok to talk about Torah, but one should not say Bruchot or Hashem's name (eg. Shalom aleichem). It's not the same a toilet, where there could be excrement. However, modern toilets remove the waste entirely, and once the smell is gone it's arguably just a changing room.

comment One day yom tov for someone who spends every chag in Israel?
Absolutely CYLOR, I know my Rav holds that if you're in Israel keep one day, and if you're outside keep two (without owning a permanet dwelling). But I know of other rabbis that hold differently.

@SethJ, Because repeating "Hashem Elokechem Emet" adds three words in place of "El Melech Neeman"?

Should I edit this question to "Should a Chazan say end-verses quietly to himself before saying them out loud?"

comment Should the Shliach Tzibur say end-verses quietly to himself before saying them out loud?
@DoubleAA, that could answer my question if they're supposed to be repeated after saying them quietly, but I think I was taught to pause before the end and then say the last passuk out loud. Also, according to Bruchos 14a-b one should not repeat words. If one is interrupted after saying "Hashem Elokechem Emet", he should not repeat "Emet" to start the next paragraph, but just continue with "V'yatziv". It could be different for the Chazzan though.
