A: Why aren't weddings on specific days? Long story short: the Sages' enactment to marry a virgin on Wednesday doesn't apply anymore, and we can get around the reason to marry a widow on Thursday. However, there are a bunch of days that are ideal to get married, and a bunch of days that are recommended not to get married. The list is qui... (more) |

"I therefore do take every downvote on this site very seriously. It is to me the same as rubbing out a word in the torah scroll which is considered one of the greatest sins" I don't think others take it that seriously, as your comparison is rather intense. Maybe that's the disconnect here? (more) |

@manassehkatz my point wasn't the reason behind the *mitzvah*. My point is it's not unique to Judaism, as many farmers practice [letting the land lie fallow](https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/what-is-fallow-ground.htm) (more) |

A: Is one in violation of Lifnei Iveir for setting himself up to sin later? In Kuntresei Shiurim Bava Basra Kuntres 9 Shiur 1 § 4 by Rav Gustman, he brings a couple of sources related to your question. First, he brings the Yad Ramah Bava Basra 26a § 107 by Rav Meir HaLevi Abulafia, who writes: > דאסור למיגרם מידי דאתי מיניה היזקא לאינשי אי משום לפני עור לא תתן מכשול וא... (more) |

It's the thesis of the whole book so I can't quote a part of it but the sefer Binyan HaBayis basically builds this concept from many sources, including your Rashi. (more) |

Could you explain how shmittah is an ethical teaching? Just seems like good farming practice. Also, returning lands to their owners may be nice for the seller, but not necessarily for the buyer. (more) |

I'm not sure I understand. True, from [Shabbos 118b](https://www.sefaria.org/Shabbat.118b.11?lang=bi&with=Rashi&lang2=en) it looks like a *midas chassidus*, but you see *tsnius* isn't purely about *lifnei iver*. You prefer I focus on the fact that *tsnius* applies in the bathroom (ie, the Semak et. a... (more) |

A: How do we understand tzniut as a violation of lifnei eevar? This is a common misconception. While there of course are concerns for lifnei iver, placing a stumbling block (although I don't know if this would literally be transgressing the biblical prohibition, regardless the spirit of the prohibition is there), tsnius is something that applies at all times to ...

Is the question seeking those who happened to not eat animal by-products? Or for moral reasons didn't eat animal by-products. I wouldn't call someone avoiding non-kosher a vegan. (more) |

I don't know if your premise is true. Moshe wasn't told what would happen in the future, just all the laws. He didn't know the Jews would slander the land, that the nation would commit lewd acts with the women of Midian, and certainly that he would sin with the rock. (more) |

@AA Sounds like someone who doesn't normally pray, but in this instance they forgot about the previous praying opportunity, and now they want to pray. Once, or twice? (more) |
