Question Why is the birth of Kayin written strangely?
In Bereishis 4:1, the Pasuk describes the birth of Kayin: >וְהָאָדָם יָדַע אֶת־חַוָּה אִשְׁתּוֹ וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד אֶת־קַיִן וַתֹּאמֶר קָנִיתִי אִישׁ אֶת־יְהוָה > >Now the man knew his wife Chava, and she conceived and bore Kayin, saying, “I have gained a male child with the help of the LORD.” ...

Comment Post #278479 In my shul there were no Kohanim, and a bunch of Levi'im, so we asked the rav what to do, and he said that for Simchas Torah, *any* order is fine. I was called for shlishi (and i am a Levi) after a Yisrael was called.

Answer A: Internet Bavli resource
Mercava.com has the gemara in the format it appears in a sefer, with translations[^1]. It also breaks up the text into categories of statement, question, answer, attack, defence, and proof.

Answer A: Why are we only worried about choking now?
The Baal Shem Tov writes: >וביום הכיפורים לית ליה רשות לאסטוני (יומא ד"כ ע"א), על כן בא השטן בכל כחו לקטרג על כל אדם > >On the day of Yom Kippur, [the Satan] has no permission to prosecute, therefore the Satan is coming in full force to prosecute everyone. Since the Satan can't harm us on Y...

In Orach Chaim 607:1 it says: >צריך להתודות במנחה קודם סעודה המפסקת‎‎‎‎ > > One must say vidui at mincha prior to the final meal before the fast. The Mishnah Berurah explains: >קודם סעודה המפסקת - שמא יארע לו דבר קלקלה בסעודה שיחנק או שתטרף דעתו ולא יוכל להתודות אח"כ > >Prior to the final me...

Question Fasting 3 fasts.
There is a somewhat famous minhag for a child to fast the three fasts preceding His/Her Bar/Bas Mitzvah. Is there any halachic source for doing this, or is it an unnecessary adopted custom?

Question Source of Chasam Sofer's prediction.
I recently heard that the Chasam Sofer wrote, that the year 5780 would be a very bad year, but the year 5781 would be a very good year. Does anyone know if this is true or where he wrote this?

Question Making a Bracha on a smell test.
Some members of my family are required to take a "smell test" in order to attend school each day. Are they required to make a bracha בורא מיני בשמים like when usually smelling nice things, or is this considered a special case and they wouldn't have to[^1]?

Question Wearing the knots of tzitzis visibly.
I've heard from multiple people, that when wearing the tzitzis strings out, leaving the knots visible is a sign of haughtiness. 1. Does anyone know of a source for this? 2. How does doing this show haughtiness?
