Saw this new book: https://zbermanbooks.com/sefirah-in-our-lives-juravel -- Based on the cover perhaps its useful. But I know nothing further than that.

| 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 ... (more) |

| 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... (more) |

@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!). (more) |

| 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 ... (more) |

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 ... (more) |

| 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... (more) |

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... (more) |
