All these examples are mitzvos that are themselves blessings. You'd be saying a blessing on a blessing. See https://judaism.stackexchange.com/a/121614/ (more) |

A: Were there other haftarah readings before the Tisha b'Av readings were set? The original Babylonian haftara readings for these 10 Babylonian sections (3 prior to 9 Av and 7 after) are recorded by Rambam at the end of his siddur as follows: + Mattot -- Joshua 13:15-14:5 (giving east bank to 2.5 tribes) + Masei -- Joshua 19:51-21:8 (division of the land) + Devarim -- Jere...

Indeed if they are two completely different commandments that logic applies (and I indicated in my parenthetical above that hedging from night to day is debatable). If it's the same commandment happening twice then it would be more analogous to lulav on the third day: even though a night interrupted ... (more) |

The laws are in Yoreh Deah 266. If he didn't prepare in advance, we can ask a gentile to do things that are rabbinically prohibited. If that's insufficient we're stuck and delay the circumcision. (more) |

@rosends No, those who don't think the day reading obligation is different enough from the night reading obligation to warrant its own shehechiyanu don't say one during the day at megillah reading. If they want to hedge an arguable need to say shehechiyanu on the other day mitzvot they would have to ... (more) |

A: Shehecheyanu on Purim You've misunderstood the announcement. All the blessings on the megilla reading are for the megilla reading. Each reading is a mitzva and gets blessings. Some communities view the daytime reading as a higher level obligation and say shehechiyanu on it too. There are no blessings on the other purim... (more) |

Because it isn't permissible? This seems like a loaded question. I've never actually been served this sort of avoda zara (apparently it's not as widespread as its worshippers like to insinuate) but if I was I'd be sure not to eat it. (more) |

A: (How) does the home gardener tithe? > How do you establish valuation -- compare to what's for sale in the grocery store?

Technically, D'mai doesn't exist nowadays and would only need terumat maaser taken, not regular terumah (aka terumah gedolah). What you're discussing is "safek tevel".

A: Why do we destroy t'rumah and challah instead of giving it to a kohein? The issue is not that the priest is impure as much as the food is impure. Even a pure priest cannot eat impure holy food from Israel, but any priest can benefit from it (either by burning it for warmth or feeding it to his animals). Accordingly you can and should give all your holy food portions to a... (more) |

@user8078 it's an interesting thought, but 1) if you look at how the Rambam describes the prayer service practically he clearly includes a sitting part of tachanunim after the fallen part, and 2) then you'd be left with the strange situation of Avinu Malkenu being a hefsek before tachanun per se, whi...
