May 12	comment	Do a mitzva for mashiach? I don't see why "it becomes very relevant to connect the act of a mitzvah to the coming of Mashiach." He doesn't even mention Mashiach.
May 12	revised	Do the Gemara and the Rema prohibit, or encourage, women putting on talit and/or tefillin? added yerushalmi about tefillin
May 12	comment	Do the Gemara and the Rema prohibit, or encourage, women putting on talit and/or tefillin? Whoops! This answer is only about Tefililn. I didn't notice the question asks about Tallit also.
May 12	comment	Why don't we count sefirah without shem u'malkhut But shouldn't you still be told to say it without Shem Umalchus if you happen to be by yourself for whatever reason and can't hear the bracha from another?
May 12	comment	simple faith versus blind faith @Kordovero Well he says "Sophistication, however, is quite unnecessary" and "you must cast aside all wisdom and sophistication and serve God with complete innocence and simplicity, with no sophistication whatever." Perhaps learning aspects of Halacha uses the brain, but in terms of Avoda it seems according to this that we shouldn't use the one organ which truly distinguishes us from animals.

May 12	comment	Korbon tomid whilst Jews were travelling (as opposed to camping) in the desert Menachot 95 could be relevant.
May 12	comment	Facing Yerushalaim during Kaddish perhaps related for those who bow during kaddish judaism.stackexchange.com/q/10495/759

May 12	comment	Do the Gemara and the Rema prohibit, or encourage, women putting on talit and/or tefillin? @Fred The whole thing. It's a nice "shitta" to have in an overall discussion, but I'd be wary of basing an entire conclusion on it. See this and some responses in the next volumes.

May 12	answered	May the Sotah take the bitter waters intravenously?
May 12	comment	Do the Gemara and the Rema prohibit, or encourage, women putting on talit and/or tefillin? @sam Who says otherwise with basis?
May 12	comment	Do the Gemara and the Rema prohibit, or encourage, women putting on talit and/or tefillin? This is not written by Yonason ben Uziel, and is full of incredibly strange and not followed opinions. Not the best source for a practical question.

May 12	comment	Can a gentile go to Synagogue on Shabbat and what is forbidden on Shabbat for a gentile? That's quite a novel interpretation of the prohibition. I wonder if he has any classical support for it.
May 12	comment	Is it considered Pikuach Nefesh if you break Shomer Negiah to give someone emotional comfort? Someone who just needs a hug doesn't sound like they are really about to kill themselves right then, but IANAP.
May 12	comment	What is the spiritual meaning of a kabalist? Presumably it means they know a lot of Kabbalah. If you had any evidence that Abraham et al. are referred to as "gedolim" that would greatly improve your second question.
May 12	comment	Why don't we count sefirah without shem u'malkhut @MeirZirkind None of those would have had malchut. The first three are all based on Yerushalmis and reflect a doubt if there should be a chatima, not if there should be a bracha. (Incidentally, there used to be a strong minhag Ashkenaz to say the middle two with shem. Don't see it too often nowadays though.) The last I assume is just nussach; do you have some reason to think a doubt is involved?
