Apr 11	comment	How can we strengthen belief in the coming of Moshiach and the end of our exile? @doubleAA see yad ch. 12 end of halacha 2
Apr 11	comment	Is Coca Cola (and other beverages) kosher everywhere in the world? Moreover, he says that Coke is kosher only in Israel. He says that he got Coke to change their secret ingredient for him.
Apr 11	comment	Chametz u'matza? On Purim, I'd answer that it refers to the Korban Todah
Apr 11	answered	Chametz u'matza?
Apr 11	comment	Chametz u'matza? @DoubleAA and they couldn't eat Chametz then. (so no Chametz umatza)
Apr 11	comment	Chametz u'matza? @RabbiMichaelTzadok also if your flour isn't bleached.
Apr 11	comment	Chametz u'matza? @DoubleAA I think that he means that the Jews ate Matzo even when not commanded, so on "normal" days we eat Chametz and Matza (Biblically, the Jews ate matzoh before the Exodus from Egypt).
Apr 11	comment	Chodosh - where does it apply? link is dead...
Apr 11	comment	Why is the Kitzur so much more popular than the Chayey Adam? Chochmas Adam?...
Apr 11	comment	Why are rabbonim referred to by the names of their seforim? @DoubleAA I assumed that "Baal" ... is still part of the question. Why do we know him as the "Baal Halachos Gedolos" and not R' Shimon Kayara
Apr 11	comment	Why are rabbonim referred to by the names of their seforim? @DoubleAA Baal Halachos Gedolos. Not שמעון קיירא (I wikipedia's that)
Apr 11	comment	Why are rabbonim referred to by the names of their seforim? @doubleaa does the rashba have a title? Otoh, what about the behag?
Apr 11	comment	Would it be permissible to believe that Jesus is the messiah if that belief otherwise entails no rejection of halakha or Jewish tradition? @Yirmeyahu do these people worship the same Oso haish. Even if J was the Oso Haish in the Gemara, one could say that they changed his story so much that it's like someone else.
Apr 10	asked	Why is the Kitzur so much more popular than the Chayey Adam?
Apr 10	comment	Why are rabbonim referred to by the names of their seforim? Note, btw, that we generally know someone by his most famous sefer (such that the Beis Yosef is known as "the Beis Yosef" not as "the Avkas Rochel" since "the Beis Yosef" appears more often in halacha than "the Avkas Rachel")
Apr 10	comment	Why are rabbonim referred to by the names of their seforim? Note, some works were known by name rather than by "title" (such as "the Rambam" over "the Mishna Torah")
Apr 10	comment	Why are rabbonim referred to by the names of their seforim? It makes sense: If someone wants to quote, say, the Tur - He's going to say "כתוב בטור". Compare the amount of times the Beis Yosef, the Bach, the Prisha/Drisha would refer to "the Tur says" over the amount of times one would refer to him as the person (as in R' Yaakov ben R' Asher was born in Germany)?
Apr 10	comment	Would it be permissible to believe that Jesus is the messiah if that belief otherwise entails no rejection of halakha or Jewish tradition? @DoubleAA yes it is. The question was kind of leading there, so I wanted to make it clear
Apr 10	comment	Would it be permissible to believe that Jesus is the messiah if that belief otherwise entails no rejection of halakha or Jewish tradition? You could just ask "If someone believes that a Mr. Hurkenus Ben Gamliel who owned an olive press in the Galillee in the time of R' Akiva is Mashiach, is he outside the pale?"
Apr 10	comment	Would it be permissible to believe that Jesus is the messiah if that belief otherwise entails no rejection of halakha or Jewish tradition? If he doesn't believe in that, he doesn't believe in Oso HaIsh. It's like a RZ claiming to follow the Satmar Rebbe, just not his Anti-zionism (the Vayoel Moshe [as well as all his students] is a forge), his nusach, his Piskei Dinim, or his Hashkafa.
