Question Besamim and the Tree of Knowledge
I have heard many times that one of the reasons we use Besamim for Havdallah is because smell is the only sense that didn't benefit from the Eitz Hadas. The Bnei Yissaschar says that smell is the only sense that didn't benefit from the Eitz Hadas (Adar 1:9) but where does it say that this is one ...

Answer A: What is the purpose of God asking Adam to name the animals?
I understood that it was to give the angels an appreciation of what man can be based on Bamidbar Rabbah 19:3 > (מלכים א ה, יא): ויחכם מכל האדם, אדם הראשון מה היתה חכמתו, את מוצא כשבקש הקדוש ברוך הוא לבראת את האדם נמלך במלאכי השרת, אמר להם (בראשית א, כו): נעשה אדם בצלמנו, אמרו לפניו (תהלים ח, ה)...

Answer A: Which of the Asseres Hadibros is most important?
I found who says that jealousy is the most important of the Asseres Hadibros. Its the Sefer אבקת רוכל by רב מכיר בן יצחק, שר חסד right in the beginning of ספר ראשון. > והשמיעם עשר דברות חתם בדיבור לא תחמוד שכולם תלויים בו לרמוז כי כל המקיים מצוה זו כאילו קיים כל התורה כולה וכל העובר עליה כאילו...

Comment Post #277328 In terms of the "rampant closing of practical questions", I much prefer Monica's approach outlined there.

Answer A: How will Judaism Codidact be better than Mi Yodeya?
One very important thing I would like to see here is people being more friendly. Mi Yodeya was the least friendly forum site I have ever visited. Whenever I am posting on Mi Yodeya and other forums around the same time I am almost in shock how much friendlier the other forum is. The most important th...

Answer A: Is there a source that the Shechina rests where there is peace between husband and wife?
I found it. > עיון יעקב סוטה יז. ד"ה איש ואשה זו שכינה ביניהם - ועי"ל זכו שיש שלום ביניהם שכינה ביניהם כי שם ה' שלום. ועליהם נאמר (איוב ה:כד) וידעת כי שלום אהלך ופקדת נוך ולא תחטא ולהכי שמו של הקב"ה נמחה על המים לעשות שלום בין איש לאשתו משא"כ אם לא זכו שאין שלום ביניהם אש המחלוקת אוכלתן. > >...

Comment Post #277317 I've found on Mi Yodeya that if I post something that's not timely it often doesn't get too many votes. This is often not a fault of the idea, its more that nobody is interested in it at the time but next time the Parsha rolls around they would be. People should be able to post on whatever Parsha the...

Comment Post #277317 I would suggest instead an idea getting deleted if it doesn't meet a certain positive threshold, it should be deleted if it falls below a certain negative threshold.

What are your thoughts about double posting here and on Mi Yodeya? Often I will want an answer to something quickly and it may be of interest to post it here and on stack exchange to increase my odds of getting an answer. Alternatively, often a few days will go by and I won't have gotten an ans...
