Viduy is the ti... (more) |

Is Ulichaporas Pasha a new request or a continuation? When we say Ulichaporas Pasha in musaf on a rosh chodesh that is a leap year, is that supposed to be read/understood as a continuation of the previous request or as a new request? > אֱ-לֹהֵינוּ וֵא-לֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ חַדֵּשׁ עָלֵינוּ אֶת הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לְטוֹבָה וְלִבְרָכָה לְשָׂשׂוֹן וּלְשִׂמ...

From there you can copy parts of the text, and you should see a black rectangle pop up. Click on `copy both` (doing just Hebrew does not include the nekudos) and paste it wherever you need. You can then delete the translation and make the text bigger. It can look something ... (more) |

Why do some books in Tanach have a different trop, and how are they sung? Some books in Tanach have a different kind of trop for the words. (see Psalms, e.g. under בַּעֲצַ֢ת and above רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים) 1.

Is there a medrash that says that foxes and fish lived together? In Brachot 61b:7 there is the famous parable of the fox trying to get the fish do go on the land.

What is the difference when Rashi says בגמרא מפרש and מפרש בגמרא? When Rashi comments on a Mishna telling us that the gemara will explain, sometimes he uses the phrase בגמרא מפרש and sometimes he uses the phrase מפרש בגמרא. (see here) Why would Rashi use one over the other (i.e. is there a difference in meaning)? (more) |

Why do we stop saying Mashiv Haruach? From Pesach until Succos, we stop saying mashiv haruach umorid hageshem in shemoneh esrei.
