comment Why does the census “of all who are able to go forth to war” include a few women?
Note that our version of Onkelus doesn't have the word "step-".

comment Why isn't “Adam” a traditional Hebrew name?
@SethJ I wasn't saying it was a mistake just that the logic is quite flawed. FTR I very much like the name Adam.

@SethJ In no way does that refute my point. But seriously, that's what he goes by in America? He didn't revert to David or Drew?

He was asking why it isn't common. And even the most God-loving people can make mistakes.

@msh210 Were you even involved in MailJewish? Is there someway we can email Elozar Preil and ask him directly? Or perhaps get his email from the MailJewish people?

comment Father being Matir Neder for himself: does it affect the family?
(I don't know why you say the grandfather's minhag is the real one.) So the cases are parallel. Using your example: If I accept gebrochts, should my son over bar mitzva have to start keeping it when his grandfather didn't and he never did growing up? No source, but seems highly unlikely.

I don't understand. If he told us to stop yelling, doesn't that mean he heard?

comment Father being Matir Neder for himself: does it affect the family?
How is this different from if the father took on a new minhag? I don't see why that would be binding on others, certainly not on sons over bar mitzva!
