Rereading this now, I'm not sure I agree with "Some people might be interested in republishing pieces that they've read elsewhere, but I see little value in our providing a forum for such republication." in all generality. What about posting a "wow!"-novel thought that I read in a book that almost no... (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Why is cholam sometimes pronounced like segol (Chabad, Yom Kippur)? From my experience with Chabad, I strongly suspect what you heard is /ej/ as in "fate" or "way", perhaps pronounced quickly so it came out sounding like a segol. /ej/ is the traditional Russian and Lithuanian pronunciation of a cholam. That pronunciation is not used by most who attend the formerly... (more) |

| Question | — |
Naming a daughter when there's no minyan around Normally in my experience, a baby girl is named in the presence of a minyan, generally at a Torah reading. If her parents are not expecting to be with a minyan for the foreseeable future, should they ideally - appoint an agent to name her in a minyan's presence (and does this require a legally effec...

A: Seeking list of prohibitions which force one to do an action Another is (command 46 in the Chinuch) "not to withhold food, clothing, and relations" from one's wife. Another is (command 348 in the Chinuch) "not to allow a non-Jew who lives in our lands to impose oppressive work upon a Jewish slave who had sold himself to him". These negative ("don't&helli...

Oh, @ArtOfCode, I thought that the script was our own. Then I guess this can be closed as status-yeah-it's-a-bug-but-there's-nothing-we-can-do-about-it-short-of-using-a-different-solution-and-it's-not-worthwhile (or status-declined for short)? (more) |

The Sefaria linker is hemorrhaging. From https://judaism.codidact.com/posts/277877/history: what I typed in the markdown: "Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 587:3, cites a view" (more) |

| Question | — |
hearing half of a double-long תרועה Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 587:3, cites a view that if someone heard half of a double-long t'ki'a (long shofar blast) in a way that was effective but the other half in an invalid way, then he's not considered to have heard a t'ki'a for fulfilling-the-command purposes. Does that apply to a t'ru'a... (more) |

No, I'm suggesting that the meaning of a name, like the meaning of anything else, is its referent, and that the referent of a name is the person who has it. So the meaning of "_yona_" is a dove or pigeon and the meaning of "_Yona_" is that guy over there. (more) |

I don't agree. If it's a short form of a name that comes from words meaning "friend of God", then it's a short form of a name that comes from words meaning "friend of God" and nothing more. It certainly doesn't __mean__ "friend of God". But if that's what you mean by "mean" then that's fine, but then... (more) |

I don't understand what you're seeking. You say you're seeking the _meaning_ of the name, but you cite a source as to its _etymology_. Also, I don't know what "meaning" means to you when it comes to a name: usually the meaning of a word is what it refers to, but a name refers to a person. (more) |

+1. _MB_ 587:7 is clear that, while distance plays a role, there's no set threshold and each person must decide his case for himself. (more) |

"for you are…" in the blessings of sh'mone esre The weekday amida has thirteen request benedictions in the middle, according to the usual count. Some of these end, after their respective requests, with "כי אתה…‏", "for you are…". Here's the rundown, according to all currently-in-use Ashkenazic and Sephardic prayer books I've seen... (more) |
