A: How can we grow this community? I can answer all your questions here. Why no one bothers answering any of your questions is because they always get downvoted without any reason. And that is not only for answers but even for perfectly good questions. I have noticed that during my months suspension (which I suppose is your idea of... (more) |

well of course it was to satisfy greed and thereby avoid death. If esav would be satisfied he wouldnt come to kill him. Not surprised this site gives upvotes for stupid posts, and downvotes for clever ones. No wonder no one ever looks at it. (more) |

What would you do if your life depended on it. Esav was about to kill Yaakov, would you not employ 'optics' to save your life. I know a silly question. You would not, you would play by the book. (more) |

well the midrash says after the akeida he sent yitshchak to learn by shem. Why he hadnt learned enough till now is a good question and if you ask it I will answer it.
We also find that yitschak went to get ketura or hagar I think. We also find that that yaakov cooked lentils on avrahams death and ei... (more) |

You have come to the wrong place for an answer. No one here knows much about christianty and even less about islam. All we can tell you is what Judaism is, which I think you already know. You may also like to know what Jewish rabbis living near to the time of the founder of Islam thought about him an... (more) |

The adjective is correct. There is really a word missing in the torah. It should say she the woman is hated. Like saying she is black or white. But the other one is a verb called a present static one. Similar to boruch. (more) |

Why must yefas toar be allowed We have in Ki Setze the laws of 'yefas toar' meaning a non-Jewish woman captured in war whom a Jewish man now wants as his wife. The meforshim (commentators) say that the only reason this was allowed is that if there were a law against it it would not be kept since the yetser hora (temptation) is ver... (more) |

i think he is saying that rashi doesnt mean 'or' but both sometimes this happens. So he explains why you need both reasons not knowing how to shake it and not knowing the brocho. But in matsa it seems not knowing how to eat it doesnt exist only not knowing the brocho. So not knowing the brocho means ... (more) |

@robev ''There are other rooms, with 71 users currently talking in 52 rooms''. on SE. You opened one yourself a few days ago. I did say I have other suggestions but I first want to hear others first.

@robev. You dont address my question of why people dont come here and instead like yourself go to SE which is more important than what you ask me. People are not interested to come here to gain votes, but that doesnt mean they want to be abused by downvotes. There is a lot of interest in the SE chat ... (more) |

A pity only five have seen my post. It deserves a much wider audience. It is so important. And means no one is keeping nidda today. That is a fact which one cant argue with, to which the only answer is that they never kept it and therefore dont have to keep it today either. Which is really my ques... (more) |

@sabbahillel They certainly do. Not everytime is the woman tomai because some blood is not considered dam nidda or from the menstrual cycle even coming from the womb. That depends on doctors not on laws of the torah. You had better go to your rabbi and find out. In plain English there are heterim whi... (more) |

I cannot agree. Every author of a sefer does the job well and does not need us to ask him to improve it. I am not talking about todays authors but previous gedolai oilam which this site has the chutspa to downvote. If someone asks a question and I can prove it is also asked by well known godol in a s...

If you would have such a category I would regulary contribute my own original divrai torah. Most divrai torah depend on a question, so that would not be a problem. I would also like to say some more things. I dont approve of the voting system, which means one can downvote anonymously a question or an... (more) |
