A: Sefaria linking is now installed A previous draft here had an experiment. After digging through the code for the Linker I can confidently say that a complete answer to the question of "what can I link to" is "anything on Sefaria," but you have to be careful how you write it out. Here is the actual code for the Linker; if you scroll ... (more) |

What's the deal with non-posts being imported? Specifically, can we do anything with Jin's question mark tree, or is that owned by Stack Exchange? (more) |

@Monica How do categories work here? Rabbinic and non-Rabbinic might be too broad of a division, but would such an idea help to cater to non-Orthodox communities, if it's feasible to implement that well? (more) |

Legally, what are we allowed to import? SE content is officially owned by the user who posted it, right? Obviously any user should be allowed to crosspost his own answers, something I plan on doing with many of my own, but how does this apply to posts in general? (more) |

Why is the beracha of Shehechiyanu phrased in the plural? The Bracha of Shehechiyanu reads as follows: ברוך...×©×”×—×™×™× ×• ×•×§×™×™×ž× ×• ×•×”×’×™×¢× ×• לזמן ×”×–×” ...that He kept us alive and sustained us and brought us to this time.

Why did the Davidic dynasty need to come from questionable relations? On the one side of the family, we have the union between Tamar and Yehudah, which, while technically a fulfillment of Yibum, Yehudah thought she was a harlot. From this union came Peretz (Bereishis 38:15-29), the forebear of David HaMelech (Rus 4:18-22). On the other side of the family, we have R... (more) |

What is a “halachic annulment” of a marriage and when is it employed? I’m stunned that this question wasn’t previously asked. The Gemara (Gittin 33a) discusses the concept of כל דמקדש אדעתא דרבנן מקדש - anyone who marries does so with the consent of the Rabbis. As discussed there, in very particular cases, they can uproot a marriage retroactively, and thereby permi... (more) |

Putting a suffering animal out of its misery - Mitzvah, Reshut or prohibition? How does the concept of Tza’ar Ba’alei Chaim deal with putting an animal out of its misery by killing it in order to prevent unnecessary pain (of the animal)? For instance, when one sees an animal with a broken spine lying on the side of the road and he cannot take it to the vet without hurting i... (more) |

When the Mishnayos were compiled, were they compiled into the perakim we have today, or were they just compiled into masechtos? Many times throughout Shas, it seems as if the Perakim are sliced in completely arbitrary places. To name a few examples: In Maseches Shabbos, the halachos of Tzad, trapping, are discussed in 13:5-14:1. It seems odd that the last Mishnah regarding trapping is attached to the following chapter rath... (more) |

If voting doesn't do anything, should one vote? All translations below are my own. Lev Melech B'Yad Hashem Shlomo HaMelech tells us (Mishlei 21:1): >פלגי מים לב מלך ביד יהוה על כל אשר יחפץ יטנו >[Like] streams of water is the heart of a king in the hand of Hashem: toward whatever He wants He turns it. The commentators seem to unders... (more) |
