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.

What content do we want to import from Mi Yodeya?

Shalom Aleichem -- "shuvchem" instead of "tzeitchem"? I've heard a setting (by Debbie Friedman) of the song "Shalom Aleichem" that, in the last verse, says "shuvchem" instead of "tzeitchem" (recording, mixed group of singers).

A: Plants before the Sun in the Order of Creation First, it may not be valid to assume that creation was bound by the laws of science as we now understand them. Why should we assume that the very first plants grew by photosynthesis in the same way that plants do now? Or if we do, why not assume that the primordial light created on the first day wa...

A: Is the observance of Jewish law/tradition "all or nothing"? It's not either/or but "both, and". Judaism has a system of rules, halacha, by which we are to live our lives.
