Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.
Discussions and feedback about the site itself in Q&A format.

Welcome to the Codidact site for Judaism! We're glad you're here and we're excited to see what you will build. This community is initially starting "from scratch", without importing Q&A from ...
For those of us who were or still are a part of the Judaism StackExchange community, you'll know that they don't call themselves "Judaism Stack Exchange" – it's Mi Yodeya. Here, we're just "Judaism...
This is a test to see if the Sefaria linking works. @ArtOfCode says just make things that look like references. So I suppose Genesis 1:1 should give me the first Pasuk of the Torah. Let's see...
There are a bunch of new tags being added, and many of them are synonyms of each other. This happens because some people put a tag of "prayer" and some put the Hebrew word "tefillah" or the Yiddish...
As we’re building up this community, I thought it would be a neat idea to feature a weekly topic challenge, similar to when MY was getting started (see here). The idea would be as follows: A new c...
Judaism Codidact is founded on being a site where people can turn to learn more about Judaism. While our heritage has what to say on intimate themes, it also emphasizes the importance of modesty. W...
An oft-requested feature for this community is a forum in which people can post their own Chiddushei Torah, their own Torah novelties — their own Divrei Torah. We are excited to announce that the D...
As we start on building a new community here together, we're bound to find some sticking points. Those might be bugs, new features you need, things you need support with... whatever they are, the C...
I feel a bit confused. On the one hand, I suppose we all supported Monica and her case against Stack Exchange, but obviously it's hard to ignore that Mi Yodeya is (at least in my view) the best thi...
How about a Wiki-style Dictionary or Encyclopedia of Jewish terms? This could either be a Category or maybe part of Community-specific Help. Instead of each reference to a Jewish/Hebrew/Aramaic/etc...
On Mi Yodeya, questions about Hebrew that aren't clearly about Judaism are considered out of scope. Should that be the case here, or should questions about the Hebrew language be ipso facto on-topi...
One thing sorely missing from Mi Yodeya is a tag hierarchy. For example, having the Book-of-Judges tag be a sub-tag of the Books-of-the-Prophets tag, so that keyword searches among the latter will ...
The Purim Torah category is scheduled to disappear at the end of Adar. All its posts will disappear also: not even their respective authors will be able to see them. (Moderators will.) I recommend...
Monica Cellio wrote in a comment: @msh210 categories and post types are orthogonal. We can create a Purim Torah category that supports both Q&A and articles. (The "create post" page has a sele...
כל האומר דבר בשם אומרו מביא גאולה לעולם שנא׳ ותאמר אסתר למלך בשם מרדכי Whoever says something in the name of the one who said it brings redemption to the world, as it says (Esther 2:22), "And Esth...
It's been previously suggested to create a Divrei Torah category. With Elul coming up I'm sure there's lots that the community has to share — should we create this forum in which people can do so? ...
In a message on the Codidact network Discord channel, msh210 pointed out: https://judaism.codidact.com/help/faq This page -- its title and some of its text -- sound like it's introducing people to...
As of a few hours ago, an Omer counter is now live on Judaism Codidact! The counter appears on the right side of the site, and shows the Hebrew date, the day of the Omer, and the day of the week. ...
We need to work on defining our mission. There are a bunch of questions to resolve about particular scope boundaries. (The first is on language questions, and more should come.), and we also need t...
If I write up a post on any other Codidact site, the auto-save feature isn't too bad; every time I click around in the text box, or pause for a moment, it briefly autosaves. If I write up a post o...
We've had some discussions about importing data from Mi Yodeya. The community hasn't yet decided what, if any, bulk imports to do, but we've had some requests to import specific questions and we'd...
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged p...
It's almost that time of year! Who's ready for some Purim Torah? Before we begin the season, we need to set some ground rules. In this thread, I'd like to discuss how exactly this will run. Below ...
Some users here (as opposed to other codidact sites) are more likely to have Hebrew letters in their username. One such user is רבות מחשבות. I recall seeing a post of theirs a few months ago, and ...
On Mi Yodeya, questions about the State/Land of Israel that aren't clearly about Judaism are considered out of scope. Should that be the case here, or should questions about Israel be ipso facto on...
There's a few different permutations of these types of questions, so I'll put each one in its own category. What unites them all is that they require knowledge of something outside of Judaism; in y...
On Mi Yodeya, questions about Jews or their history that aren't clearly about Judaism are considered out of scope. Should that be the case here, or should questions about Jews and their history be ...
Should we have a policy in place regarding trivia or riddle questions? Things like: There are exactly nine women in Tanach about whom the passuk relates their deaths. Who are they? What is the lon...
I get double notification when my answer is commented AND "@Alaychem" appears at the comment (I know it's needless to be there).
We can import questions and answers from Mi Yodeya.1 You might have noticed that we imported two already, the ones needed by our "not professional advice" notice. What else to import is up to the...
Is the landing page broken for everyone? I'm getting a 500 error with uuid: 40ff0d47-3b9f-4eaf-839e-ad085d2382ca
I don't recall voting on any posts today. Yet when I tried, I got this message: Failed: You have used your daily vote limit: 52/5 (403) What does this mean? Is it a bug?
A bunch of posts in the Divrei Torah category are tagged "dvar-torah". Taggedness with this tag is wholly duplicative of category membership, so I recommend detagging (perhaps it would be easier se...
Welcome to our pro-tem moderators, Isaac Moses and DonielF. Isaac joined the team two weeks ago and I was negligent in not announcing it at the time, and DonielF has joined today. Thank you both ...
Out of interest of helping move Judaism Codidact forward, if I have a question and I see it already has answers in MY, should I still ask it here (bearing in mind that, a. from what I've heard, the...
Sefaria has just announced this year's Powered by Sefaria contest. The goal is to attract projects that are interesting and creative and that make use of Sefaria's library of texts and/or open API...
What are your thoughts about double posting here and on Mi Yodeya? Often I will want an answer to something quickly and it may be of interest to post it here and on stack exchange to increase my od...
How can I move a question from MY to here? Should I just copy all of it here or do the mods (with their techno-magic ;D) do it? And if the latter, how do I request a move?
We've run data import for the first time on this community, which means some of your content might be here but be attributed to a stub user created for the sake of attribution. This post is about ...
One of the key features of Codidact is Categories. There has been some discussion elsewhere, but now that the community is up & running, Meta is the place to talk about this. Two suggestions I ...
Should we allow users to write questions in non-English languages? Should we allow users to write questions in specifically Hebrew or other Jewish languages like Judeo-Aramaic, Yiddish, and Ladino...
On the list of Codidact sites, each community has a short description, such as: Cooking: Our community for people interested in cooking and questions about it - methods, processes, recipes, tips, ...
I miss the tooltip that auto-competes user's name after @ when commenting.
In my view search efficiency was a serious issue on MY. We have discussed there the different ways to improve it, and I suggested search synonyms, because there are way too many Hebrew transliterat...
When I am asking a question, and use the sefaria linker, the link goes in the preview (as it should). When I click on it, it pops up, but this happens, with the "tag" bar on top of the information....
Currently, I don't see that keyboard shortcuts would work in the text editing window. I suppose the usual ones would be particularly useful: Ctrl-I for italics Ctrl-B for bold Ctrl-K for hyper...
I’ve been looking around to see if there are any major differences between Mi Yodeya and Judaism Codidact. So far, it seems like the two sites are pretty much (in fact almost exactly) the same. Did...
I have linked my Codidact account to my Stack Exchange account. This account has a Mi Yodeya account. Maybe I misunderstand what the feature is supposed to do, but when I click on "Claim content"...
When using the sefaria linker in a comment, as long as you dont press "see the whole thread", the source wont get recognized. When you do click on that button, it works.
I asked a question about a passage from Ezekiel, creating the "ezekiel-book-of" tag in the process. (I followed the pattern I saw with other book tags.) I saw that we also have a "prophets" tag, ...
