| Question | — |
Sources discussing electric cars on Chol Hamo'ed I was reading about driving a car on Chol Hamo'ed and the article stated that many see the melacha of driving as tied to havarah (which I assume to refer to the burning of gas via combustion). The quote in the email was, "Contemporary poskim discuss how this halacha applies to driving a car, which en... (more) |

The encampments in the midbar Is there a list of all the stops that Bnei Yisrael made after leaving Egypt (in chronological order), and how long they stayed in each place, especially one which lists different opinions about the lengths of stays? I vaguely recall seeing some sort of list but don't know where and haven't found one ... (more) |

@curiousdannii it makes such an insertion unnecessary. The section is introduced "the spies said:" and then recounts what they said (including their use of the first person). To assume that part is an insertion by another voice makes no sense unless you insist that they said something which they coul... (more) |

Verse 33 continues the narrative started in the middle of verse 32, introduced by the word "leimor" ("saying:"). The writer put down in words the event including what the 10 spies reported. (more) |

I think you are asking a deeper question -- is there an essential tension between v'chai bahem on one hand, and R. Akiva's seeming interpretation that the only way to be mekayem a particular mitzvah is by dying. Maybe he knew that there were other ways of satisfying b'chol nafshecha but that martyrdo... (more) |

The years of Sarah Calling a parsha “chayeii sarah” makes very little sense. Not only is the phrase “the life or lives of” confusing because of the collective noun role of “chayiim”, but the parsha is not really about Sarah – she dies in the first posuk. The chochomim who established the parshiyot, instead of appending... (more) |

Radak says coincidence, the Tzror Hamor says something about its being a remez and the Ohr Chadash ties it to Haman's ancestors. I think.

I get the sense that "shul" is the actual "sanctuary" whereas guests stayed in the building that housed the sanctuary. "The downstairs halls of the inn are used for the Rebbe’s shul and for tishen on Shabbos, while the upstairs quarters are divided into the Rebbe’s sleeping quarters, kvittel shtib, a... (more) |

You have 2 separate questions here -- one is why the creation narrative says "let us" (https://www.etzion.org.il/en/let-us-make-man) and whether the word "Elokim" is actually a plural (https://outreachjudaism.org/elohim-plural/) (more) |

Dreams, interpretations, and outlook Yosef is both a dreamer and an interpreter of dreams – these traits make him both a victim and a hero. I’d like to take a closer look at the process of victimization and Yosef’s dreams. He wakes up one morning and tells his brothers (Bereishit 37:5) that he had a dream. “Meh,” they say. They have ...

I just read through a bunch of commentaries on the mishna and they talk about finding someone to settle issues, or teach laws, or argue with, but none mentions life cycle events. It appears that you can continue to have a learning/study relationship with a former-pulpit rabbi. (more) |

| Question | — |
Is there any davening unique to being said when alone? I know that there are parts of davening that one can only say, or be involved with saying, in the presence of a minyan, but I was wondering if there were pieces of davening that can only happen when one is NOT with a minyan (and the extension, when one is all by himself). I'm curious if there is anyt... (more) |

| Comment | Post #276972 |
@JoelK does it have to do with the vowel sound under the prefix (e.g. a patach would cause a combined syllable while a segol, because it is distinct from the opening vowel sound of A-do-nai, would create 2 separate syllables)?

How is God's name pronounced when there is a prefix? The 4 letter name for Hashem is replaced with the word a/d-/nai (3 syllables). But my siddur doesn't put vowels under each instance, so I'm not sure how to say the word when it is preceded b a prefix lake a vav, a lamed or a beit. The word "e/l-/kei" becomes vei/l-/kei with the addition of the pre... (more) |

I don't think that any search engine can account for every single teaching but I'm also not sure what counts as "ethical" teaching as opposed to a non-ethical one.
