Asking out of ignorance, might there be an analogy to the prohibition against eating food sacrificed in a pagan ritual?
Reading Bereshit I ask for the precise measure of a year using seven days and it does not work mathematically. How do you make it work as Hashem is perfect?
First of all, this is specifically a part of the Misheberach that is recited by the Gabbai the first time the father gets an Aliyah after the birth of a son, at least if that is before the 8th day....
Since this is a mashal, then it is not to be taken literally. The mashal of water and the nimshal of Torah is what is important. Just as originally before the Jews received the Torah they lived as ...
There's also the option of not mass importing at all. Yes it's tempting to want to bring stuff over from Mi Yodeya since many of us are transplants from there. But we are also building something ne...
Originally I was going to propose a name reflecting the Q&A nature of the site, something like Sho’el U’Meishiv, or Hiskalti (ref. Avos 4:1). But then I realized that Codidact isn’t about excha...
Another suggestion, in line with all the others emphasizing the "learning together" value: Haskeis, referencing Berachos 63b.12.
Since the Bnei Keturah or the descendants of Yishmael did not accept the Torah at Sinai, they would have to convert completely if they wished to become Jewish. Even if they had had circumcision pre...
Jewish Learning = People of the book Book = Scroll Scroll = Like ArtScroll, also a Jewish Learning platform Internet age + [art]Scroll = iScroll iScroll = Also like I scroll on the website iScroll ...
On sidra vayero Why didnt avrohom himself give the water. What is the difference if hashem himself gives it or his servan in the desert Why should we save a bad city because they have 50 righteo...
At the end of Ki Setze we talk about Amolek. The next sidra, Ki Savo, starts off about Bikkurim. In chumash everything has to have a connection. So what is the connection between them?
Incorrect. It is indeed a complete unabridged translation of the entire sefer, at least according to its anti-Semitic, Holocaust-denier translator, whose assertion obviously must be taken with a ...
The English translation of Sefer Yuchsin by Israel Shamir, the Holocaust denier and anti-Semite, is that a complete unabridged translation of the entire Hebrew sefer by Zacuto?
Did Rabbi Avigdor Miller ever mention Azariah de Rossi or his sefer "Me'or Eynayim"? If so, what did he say about him or his sefer?
A fundamental Muslim practice is naming the god of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and Ishmael in Arabic Allah (ٱللَّٰه) while not necessarily denying that the name of god in Hebrew is Yahwah (יהוה)....
In the megillah, Mordechai tells Esther that if she doesn't go to the king, salvation will come from another source. While this is an admirable show of faith isn't he being somech al nes, reliant o...
This is one of the places where I see the dictate that "the Rabbi is the arbiter of Jewish law for the local community" kicking in with some vigor -- different Rabbis are taking different approache...
I propose a category called "Sandbox". People can post questions and answers here to practice using mixed Hebrew and English, get used to the bilingual tags, make and check Sefaria links, and engag...
What is the Jewish holy book? As far as I know that is Torah. Even, I had heard that Torah is in Arabic. While searching it again, I found that there's difference between Torah in Islam and Torah i...
I can answer all your questions here. Why no one bothers answering any of your questions is because they always get downvoted without any reason. And that is not only for answers but even for per...
I wanted to suggest, if possible, locking the downvotes on PT posts. I mean, if a PT is inappropriate, then like any other post, it should be removed. But other than that, I see no point in downvot...
6thirteen. Reminder of the commandments. Sounds a bit intriguing.
