A: Double Posting here and on Mi Yodeya >והתנא האריך להגדיל תורה ויאדיר > >And the teacher expanded to spread Torah and glorify [it]. (Tosfos, BK 2a) Codidact and Stack Exchange are two independent sites.

| Question | — |
Divrei Torah Category 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? The idea, if implemented, is to create a new category, alongside our current Q&A, Challenges, and Met... (more) |

Relevant is footnote 1 [here](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/277118#answer-277193). In short, one only fulfills the mitzvah of Shofar if he hears the קול הברה, and it's possible that your question, supposing that the sound is actually affected by the mask covering the opening, could be one of...

| Question | — |
What happened to the end of the Aleph-Beis in Kol Mekadesh? One of the songs commonly sung on Friday night, which begins Kol Mekadesh Shevi'i, follows an alphabetic acrostic. After the introductory stanza, each stanza contains four phrases: the first three follow the alphabet, and the fourth is a Biblical excerpt which does not fit the alphabetical pattern. A... (more) |

I just tried this myself. In my humble opinion I don’t hear a difference between if the end is covered with a mask or not. Just to test I did try it with the mask over the _short_ end – needless to say I couldn’t get a sound out at all. (more) |

Your question contradicts itself. Were you taught that tznius is a Rabbinic enactment, or that a breach of tznius is a problem of “placing a stumbling block,” an explicit Biblical prohibition? (more) |

@Monica Would something like a [Google Forms](https://docs.google.com/forms) submission be of help for organizing data requests? That way it’d be easier to keep track on your end of which posts still need to be imported, and on our end of which comments are still necessary and which are obsolete. (more) |

A: What is the difference between אנכי and אני in the torah? On Exodus 11:4, Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch writes:[^1] >אני stems from the root אנה: emanating and flowing from the personality. Thus אני denotes the personality who feels himself in opposition to the other; the personality from whom something issues forth to the other. אנכי, on the other hand, de... (more) |

How does this work retroactively? I've already copy-pasted a question over here; is there any way to link it to a question on MY? Also, what is imported with the post – just the thread itself, or also any comments on it? (more) |

If it's okay with you I went ahead and edited in a Wikipedia link to the Loong and reformatted your quote. I left your annotation alone following the translation, but you should know that Sefaria's translation follows Rashi's first interpretation: ציצין - תרגום של סנפיר. לשון אחר כמו שערות (more) |

| Question | — |
Is there any connection between the Sotah, the Mizbeiach, and the Beis HaMikdash keychain? In exactly three contexts, the Mishnah notes that there was an amah square marble slab with a ring, using exactly the same language each time. The first is in Sotah 2:2, regarding the Sotah procedure: >נִכְנַס לַהֵיכָל וּפָנָה לִימִינוֹ, וּמָקוֹם הָיָה שָׁם אַמָּה עַל אַמָּה, וְטַבְלָא שֶׁל שַׁ... (more) |

@Alaychem I'm not married yet, much less have kids old enough to be in shul. When I was little I couldn't understand the parsha, and when I was older I took "to uncover [his/her] nakedness" at its literal translation of undressing them. It wasn't until well into high school that I properly understood... (more) |

This is very insightful, but it doesn't seem to answer the question at hand — I'm not asking for a unified definition of חנם, but rather where the translation of חנם as baseless originates. (more) |
