Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.

Regarding your concern about Anenu for the Ashkenazi practice of omitting it in the morning lest you come to eat, the Magen Avraham (Orach Chaim 565:3) felt that was not a problem even at an early ...
I don't see why we would throw out the old vote counts. If a few people gain a few extra points on a one time basis, that's not such a big deal. The advantage gained by having good signal about pos...

We should allow any Hebrew, Ladino, Yiddish, Judeo-Arabic questions with no restrictions, even ones that clearly have nothing at all to do with Judaism as chances are we won't get so many of them t...
What distinguishes us from a blog is mostly the scores on the posts. That's one of our main advantages for people seeking quality content: they have a rough measure of the average interested intern...
I propose a category called Hebrew Language. This could be for anyone studying the language, whether Biblical or Modern or anything in between. No Judaism connection would be needed for questions i...
How do you establish valuation -- compare to what's for sale in the grocery store? The other answer and plenty of online resources discuss the lists of what portions to designate and in what o...
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 (g...
One solution is a Hebrew Language category. See here. Potentially all your examples would be in scope in that category.
People should be allowed to post questions in Hebrew if they want. How that affects how many potential answerers engage with their question is just a consequence of that choice. A great question is...
