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.

| Question | — |
Why does the incense offerer get a chosen buddy? Mishnayot Tamid 6:3 says that the kohen who wins the right to offer the daily incense brings a buddy with him to hold one of the vessels and help him retrieve any dropped incense: > מִי שֶׁזָּכָה בַקְּטֹרֶת, הָיָה נוֹטֵל אֶת הַבָּזָךְ מִתּוֹךְ הַכַּף וְנוֹתְנוֹ לְאוֹהֲבוֹ אוֹ לִקְרוֹבוֹ. נִתְפַּזּ...

There's "too generic," not "too broad" that I can see.

The written Torah is old enough that it's unlikely there are any teachings in it that have never been adopted/adapted by any younger religions. (more) |

@AA This post explicitly widens the standard to "Judaism, status as a notable Jewish figure, or membership in the Jewish people is core" and applies that standard. I'm not ready to claim that this is optimal or the right degree of precision, but I think it's clearly distinct from "Judaism is core." I... (more) |

A: Are questions purely about Jews and Jewish History in-scope? I'm honestly not sure what I'd prefer in this area, but I'd like to try out specifying an extension of the "Judaism is core" standard proposed by Monica Cellio to a yet broader scope, and see what people think. Questions about people should be in scope if their Judaism, their status as a notab... (more) |

@msh210 I'm not sure I agree about the relative prevalences, but good point. I suspect that fluency in written Rabbinic Hebrew would be easier to find among primarily English-speaking Judaism scholars, anyway. What concerns me is making sure there's a mod who can rapidly and fairly understand and res... (more) |

@MonicaCellio I think the CC license would require such a link anyway (on the derivative side), but yes, I agree that it would make sense to have an explicit rule that intentional translations of content from one side to the other must be linked. (more) |

@AA I don't think we should segregate scope into Categories. I agree that if we did segregate out Hebrew language scope as a Category, that would conflict with the plan in this answer. (more) |

A: What is our policy regarding using non-English languages in a post? A slightly different take on AA's idea to use the Categories feature: Maintain two categories of Q&A with the same scope and rules, but with the language of discourse in one (`Q&A`) being English, and the language of discourse in the other (`שו"ת`) being Hebrew. Whatever accessibility rules we hav... (more) |

@AA I'd recommend editing to make that clear: You're proposing a category with a different language *and* a different scope. I'll post a separate answer advocating for a separate category with a different language and the same scope. (more) |

| Comment | Post #276895 |
The answer you point at seems to be about a Category for questions about Hebrew, while this answer seems to be about a Category for Q&A about our overall scope, in Hebrew rather than English. I think the latter is an intriguing idea for use of the Categories feature. (more) |

This would be particularly helpful given that: 1) Partial usernames in comments don't seem to generate pings. 2) Usernames are allowed to (and on Mi Yodeya, some do) contain non-English characters, which are difficult to type in many environments. (more) |

I don't necessarily agree with every one of these proposed rules, but I upvoted the principle that we can come up with some rules to restrict language questions to the non-trivial. We could look at what policies the language communities have evolved on SE for best practices. (more) |

I think it would be valuable for you to expand more on what you mean by "practices, history, and philosophy," and why you choose those terms to sum up the content. (more) |

| Question | — |
What is the mission of this community? 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 to come up with an overarching understanding of what our community is trying to accomplish. I think we ca... (more) |

A: How will Judaism Codidact be better than Mi Yodeya? One way in which I see this platform excelling for Judaism Q&A is through the platform team's responsiveness to feature requests to enhance the Judaism Q&A experience, in particular. As we're one of the first handful of communities on this still-developing platform, whose code is being developed as a... (more) |

@AA I see this post as about collecting aspirations - visions - rather than mechanisms or policy prescriptions. It's not at all surprising that people's behaviors are going to default to what they're used to elsewhere. Whether by deliberation over policy or by evolution, it will take time for the rul...

@AA I think that if we're going to mix together two different kinds of information from two different contexts, an affirmative case needs to be made for mixing the data, more than for not doing so. This is not the same community as MY, and the scope, standards, and mores may all be different here, as... (more) |

A: How will Judaism Codidact be better than Mi Yodeya? Without directly answering the question [yet], I'd like to point out that for Judaism.Codidact to be worthwhile, it doesn't have to be better than Mi Yodeya in an absolute sense; it just has to be capable of attracting a community of people who are willing to contribute here to worthwhile Q&A about J...

@Monica I assumed, based on the basis of the question, that it means "female who can eat *teruma*," which includes both a kohen's unmarried daughter and a kohen's wife. Perhaps DonielF should edit to make the population in question explicit. (more) |

A: Custom Community Name? Perhaps, to hew close to the "Codidact" brand, we could consider: CoTalmid That is, Latin for "together" plus Hebrew for "student." I thought about "CoMelamed" ("together" plus "teacher"), but that string could be incorrectly parsed as "Come Lamed," which isn't big deal, but may be a little ... (more) |

@AA I agree that "import on duplicate" would be helpful to have. Maybe even just to import the *answers* from the MY post into the new question here (i.e. "merging"). I can't quantify what I mean by "a while," but I suppose it's something like "long enough that there's a core community here of active... (more) |
