May 9	comment	Is a child born to a kidnapper also considered kidnapped? Why would you want to say that? There is no evidence he is holding the child against his/her will.
May 7	comment	Why did it take so long to conquer and divide the land? Thank you very much.
May 7	comment	Did Chava tell Adam she was giving him fruit from the etz ha'das? @msh210 I always thought that was the point of content between them, like nikmasi wrote.
May 7	comment	Why did it take so long to conquer and divide the land? Would you think it would be better to split this into 2 questions - one for conquest and one for division??
May 7	comment	Why did it take so long to conquer and divide the land? +1, this is a great association, I appreciate it. But it's still not clear what were they doing for so long, if they defeated everyone in the first year.
May 7	comment	Is Niddah considered to be gilui arayos for purposes of martyrdom? @DoubleAA I haven't learned it in a while, but I do remember learning that it was his opinion at some point in the past.
May 7	comment	Is Niddah considered to be gilui arayos for purposes of martyrdom? There is a notable difference to usual giluim arayos - the children produced from such unions are mamzerim, but for niddah it's a dispute between R' Akiva (who says the child is a mamzer) and the Chachomim (who say he is not), and we paskin like the chachomim.
May 1	comment	References for learning Aggada very, very helpful, thank you
May 1	comment	References for learning Aggada this is really helpful, thank you very much
May 1	comment	References for learning Aggada Thank you very much, I appreciate it. I don't have a specific one in mind at this time...
May 1	comment	References for learning Aggada Thank you :), a translation of Peirush al Kama Aggados just also went out in Russian (together with Even Sheleima, and a peirush on both). Thi smay be useful for others looking for this book. Thank you.
Apr 30	comment	Cooking Parve food but with mixed utensils how much time passed since the pot was last used? Is there 60 times more food than the surface volume of the spatula, immersed in it?
Apr 30	comment	Cooking Parve food but with mixed utensils a good candidate to CYLOR.
Apr 25	comment	Is there any evidence that Rabbi Akiva's students fought alongside Bar Kochba? It was also my impression that we generally agre he was killed around 138 CE (end of the revolt), whihc puts his birth at 18 CE, and thus he was about 60 when the Second Temple was destroyed.
Apr 22	comment	Why are women exempt from (many) time-bound mitzvot? I've heard R' Akiva Tatz quote this in shiurim. I think the real meaning is not that they are exempt because they have the cycle, but rather, the presence of the cycle hints that they have an internal connection to time, which results in the cycle. Hence, they are free from external obligations, whose goal is to make us connected to time.
Apr 18	comment	Using a cell phone as a watch on Shabbos I don't think that works for moras ayin, but there are much more competent people on the site than me - perhaps someone will offer an opinion. Thanks for an interesting question.
Apr 18	comment	Using a cell phone as a watch on Shabbos Perhaps the problem would not be with muktzeh, but with moras ayin?
Apr 17	comment	Questions about the destruction of Sodom and the vicinity @nikmasi Perhaps the Rashi al derech remez hints to it, when he says the 4 of them were on the same rock (supposedly excluding Tzoar as well) - tzur (rock) is often used in derush and remez to hint at the source of something (e.g. Hashem is called Tzur Olamim, and this is one of the explanations).
Apr 17	comment	Questions about the destruction of Sodom and the vicinity @nikmasi I agree there is no outside sources, except the verse in Devarim is support that the city did not get destroyed after all.
Apr 17	comment	Questions about the destruction of Sodom and the vicinity @nikmasi He addresses (2) and (3) - Lot didn't know that there were others, and they did not live in Tzoar but came there that night together with Lot. (3) I don't remember what he says, like I wrote in the comment above. In my opinion, (1) makes him daven for Tzoar, and also bears homiletic meaning as well, hinting to him that he's only saved in Avraham's merit.
