Newcomers Overwhelmed by Myriad Halachas @sam That is R Moshe Feinstein's understanding but I don't think that it is universally shared. |

learning non-jewish topics as a creative process You're missing the main point: the prohibition, whatever books it applies to, is not because learning is a creative process! This makes it sound like there is no prohibition on reading any books on Shabbat, which is inaccurate. |

Reading secular books on shabbat? Do we have any indication if RMF and RSZA's tendency towards stringency was due to the prohibition on reading secular material on Shabbat or to encourage people to spend Shabbat learning Torah? |

What is the Sod HaIbbur? The latter sentence just means: the science of astronomy. |

Why were these pasukim chosen for the upside down Nuns? Note there are tens of other upside down Nuns in Tanach as well. |

Why do Israelis keep one day of Yom Tov? @juanora Yes it does. It says a previous Sanhedrin already sanctified the present and near-future's months so there is no need for its current continuance for clarify in calendrical calculations. |

Is there “Torah Inerrancy”? @Michoel What does "factually correct in recording what people at that time mistakenly believed" mean? That the Author made the right choice in presenting false statements or that it wrote True things? The former may be accurate, but it's a funny thing to then call the text "factually correct". |

Is there “Torah Inerrancy”? This answer doesn't show that the text of the Pentateuch in our possession still has inerrancy. In fact it is hard if not impossible to say it does have inerrancy, given the different traditions of how to write it. |

Thanksgiving Meal Allowed? Do you have any reason to think that a seudas hodaah is against "halachic sensibilities"? |

Thanksgiving Meal Allowed? Well, yea, but the Rama argues on the Gra, and longstanding (Ashkenazi at least) custom is like the Rama in this case, even though the Gra is more compelling in the gemaras. (btw I cite this same Gra here) |

Do married men stop saying a bracha on their *tallit katan*? @Alex Yes, but my point is I see way more people being machmir to avoid the bracha than I do who are machmir to not wear their same tallitot ketanot outside of an eruv on Shabbat. Wouldn't you expect the Shabbat chumra to be more important? |
