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.

@MTL "Chevraya"'s nice, and it almost rhymes with "Yodeya," FWIW. (more) |

@DonielF I like that we both picked up on the resonance of the word "codidact" with Judaism's "learning together" value. We should keep brainstorming in this direction. (more) |

@Mithical I agree that this particular name is rather obscure. In general, if this site does get a distinctive name (which would probably end up being non-English), I think care should be taken that in every context in which it's displayed to people who aren't already community members, it's made cle...

A: What content do we want to import from Mi Yodeya? I think we should delay importing from Mi Yodeya for a while, while we figure out what our scope and standards should be. What we import and how we treat it could be affected by those decisions, and importing is presumably an operation that won't be reversible. (more) |

A: Custom Community Name? The Judaism term that comes to mind immediately in association with "codidact" is chavruta/chavrusa - "study partner." The obvious domain names with that word (chavruta, chavrusa, havruta, havrusa .com) are all taken. Chaverai (or Chaveirai).com = "my friends" / "my study partners" is available, a... (more) |

@MonicaCellio In discussion thus far, has a convention emerged in the Codidact dev community as to how to refer in conversation (or external outreach) to individual CD communities? (more) |

Make it clear that our FAQ is about this community, not all of Judaism 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 Judaism rather than to Judaism. Here's how the top of the FAQ page looks now: > # Judaism FAQ... (more) |

A: Should imported posts retain their original votes? Another proposal: Award at most one vote on import per post. If we're importing a post that had a net-positive score at Mi Yodeya, indicating that the community there considered it valuable, it would seem wrong for it to show up here with a zero score. So give it one upvote "from the community." ... (more) |

@רבות He does actually refer to the Rambam's consideration of sha'atnez in felt, but I didn't think it was essential to the argument. I'll take another look and consider editing that in. Of course, what I happened to Google up is a footnote and not a full-blown responsum, so it's not going to be full... (more) |

A: Do Felt Garments Require Tzitzit? R' Etan Gilkarov lays out evidence for and against requiring tzitzit on a felt garment in Footnote 5 of a responsum entitled "בדין חיוב ציצית בתלית ניילון בצבע ירוק"‎[^1], originally published in Kotleinu #15 by Yeshivat HaKotel, in 5754 (1993 - '94). 1. The Levush, in Levush Hatecheilet 10:4,... (more) |

@msh210 I wouldn't be surprised if they do things like cache JS calls they detect, only link if the number of loads exceeds some threshold, only link if a link persists for some time, apply anti-spam analysis, whitelist sites they'll accept links from, etc., which would result in varying delays betwe...

A: What content do we want to import from Mi Yodeya? I would probably be interested, at some point, in importing Q&A in which I've either asked or answered, with rules something like: - My post is scored above N. - Question isn't closed. (Or is closed and can be determined to be in a category that's off-topic on MY and on-topic here, or is Purim ... (more) |

Are questions purely about Hebrew in-scope? 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-topic? Questions to consider (please edit in more if you see fit): - Is Modern Hebrew treated diffe...

Has anyone proposed to recreate the system of 24 ma'amadot, since the Dispersal? The Mishna, in Ta'anit 4:1-4, describes an institution called ma'amadot: Just as the Kohens and Levites were divided into 24 clans, which each handled the Temple service for two non-holiday weeks of the year, the non-Levite Israelites were also divided into 24 groups, called ma'amadot. These groups a... (more) |

Who got to have the leftover flour from the Omer? The Mishna reports in Menachot 10:4 that, after the required amount of premium flour had been extracted from the barley set aside for the Omer, the considerable amount tof leftover, mixed-quality flour would be "redeemed and edible by anyone." It seems to me that such flour, which had been processed ... (more) |

What prompted the absent-Sanhedrin-head decree in Rosh Hashana 4:4? R' Yochanan ben Zakai, in leading the Jewish people during and immediately after the Destruction of the Second Temple, issued many decrees aimed at responding to the new post-Temple reality and preserving Judaism. When I see one of these decrees recorded in the Mishna, I find it interesting to think ... (more) |

A: If voting doesn't do anything, should one vote? In an apparently-open letter dated October 3, 1984, R' Moshe Feinstein urged Jews in the United States to vote as a means of expressing hakaras hatov (appreciation) for the democratic system in the United States, which allows for a safe haven in which Jews can live and practice Judaism. The letter di... (more) |

Source for not referring to Chanuka lights as a "menora" Following up on this question about the use of the words "menora" or "chanukiya" to refer to Chanuka lights: I find it interesting that the use of "chanukiya," popularized in 1897 through a secular lexicographic effort, seems to embody a distinction that is religiously valuable: between the seven-br...

Experience-based advice for focusing and slowing down prayers? I tend to daven (pray) without sufficient focus and very quickly. In particular, I find that most of the time that I'm praying, my mind is on things other than the words that I'm saying. And, not that comparison with others is ideal in this realm, but for what it's worth, I frequently find that I am ... (more) |
