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.

Question Have other great Rabbis followed Rebbi Akiva's example for dying as a martyr?
The Talmud (Berachos 61b.9) relates the holy incident regarding Rebbi Akiva's martyrdom. He proclaimed "all my days I have been pained, waiting for this moment of fulfillment". Seeing as his comment is regarding one of the intentions behind the twice-daily recitation of this prayer, coupled with ...

Question In which volume is the Sdei Chemed’s rebuttal kuntrus printed?
In the original printing of Sdei Chemed (about 18 volumes, some posthumous) there was a kuntrus adjoined at the end of the fifth volume (I saw this on the oztar hachochma). This kuntrus entitled באר בשדי (also available as a stand-alone volume on Hebrewbooks.org) is a 32 page rebuttal to the sanctit...

Comment Post #278321 @Monica I think the end of your comment is still the point of harel’s comment. Unless, you can provide a reason for presuming so besides ‘they were human’. Because they also spoke to God regularly (so do I!).

Question Is closing the Succah door ‘hiddur-Mitzvah’?
If I am doing my ‘like-living’ in the Succah, is there any benefit to closing the door? Meaning, the open door is the only thing standing between the Succah becoming an entirely sealed structure. It goes without saying that, even to being with, this would be a valid Succah. However, is there any ...

Comment Post #278422 See my comment below @Monica. I did some digging after reading that answer, and it turns out that the shiny ones have a whole introduction concerning the topic. Essentially they got ahold of sources and manusripts which had it and added it back in. The Rome MS of RG which the Vilna Shas is based on ...

Question Where is Rabeinu Gershom's commentary on the first half of Menachos [in the ancient editions]?
There are instances when I cannot use my Oz Vehadar edition of tractate Menachos, and thus I am forced[^1] into using an older edition, i.e. the old-fashioned Vilna printings[^2], from, like, two-thousand years ago. I noticed that unlike my shiny new copies of this tractate, which contain Rabeinu Ge...

If semen was extracted from a dead man, and then used to impregnate a woman, is the offspring a legal son (let's limit it to male) of the dead man? Or, more simply put, is a child born of ones semen (either before or after death and without or without his permission) a legal child, which would hav...
