Dec 27	comment	First steps for someone considering conversion If you can find someone to trust, this is a good thing; I was more independent and slow to trust people. Also, not all rabbis are equipped (personally or knowledge-wise) to address conversion candidates; your mileage may vary.

Dec 23	comment	Fulltext search across sources: Gemara, Zohars, Rishonim and Aharonim @H'Gabriel a large enough library may have it, especially if they are either academic, or participate in a consortium. Bottom line, ask or check out the library's website.

Dec 16	comment	Tzitzit tying: the real way There are a LOT of methods detailed in the Rishonim, as per tekhelet.com/guide.htm
Dec 14	comment	Train ticket not collected: destroy? I have difficulty seeing the failure to collect as a "mistake," since it is known and accepted (at least pragmatically) that some passengers will not have their tickets collected, be it because they enter and leave the train before crew reach their section, short-staffedness, etc. As I put it earlier: are you buying the ticket per se, or the service with the ticket as voucher? It seems obvious to me that the latter is the case, but I don't have any other basis for it than my own rationale.
Dec 14	revised	Train ticket not collected: destroy? specify assumptions for the type of train service
Dec 14	comment	Train ticket not collected: destroy? @avi dash it all, the question specifies single-ride ticket. will modify for the first two points.
