Let me repeat that: robots got the day of rest. How is this different than many cases that exist already: Motion detectors turning on lights, in […]
- [Avodah] Baruch Dayan Emes? February 9, 2026Two data points: 1- The aveil's bentchin according to the SA (OC 189:2) includes "Dayan Emes" but it works well in context: ... haKeil Avinu Malkein Bore'einu Go'aleinu Qedosheinu Qedosh Yaaqov haMelekh haChai haTov vehaMeitiv haTov vehaMeitiv Keil Emes, Dayan Emes... 2- R Hutner (Pachad Yitzchaq, RH) talks about Melukhah (logical enough for RH) and […]

- [Avodah] Baruch Dayan Emes? February 5, 2026. Sometimes, I hear people say "Baruch Dayan Emes", and sometimes I hear "Baruch Dayan HAemes" (with the Heh prefix).
